3665 Such A Cruel Heart
Although they were a little surprised when they heard this, they didn’t ask any questions and only responded then walked back to the airship.
On the other side, due to the departure of the fierce beasts, the Mu family gradually walked out of the array. However, they could no longer see any sign of their Patriarch and Eldest Young Master.
The atmosphere became dull and solemn. They lowered their heads slightly and no one spoke. Thirty forty people stood there with sad expressions. They felt that their Patriarch and Eldest Young Master’s situation didn’t bode well.
Furthermore, there were only two of them. Even if they had all come out together, they wouldn’t have been able to fight against so many fierce beasts, not to mention there were several Sacred beasts amongst them too.
“Do you think that Patriarch… will still be alive?” Someone asked with a glimmer of hope.
“Patriarch is so kind, I’m sure he will be blessed.”
“Yes! Patriarch must still be alive!”
“Patriarch asked us to find the person with ill intentions, in that situation earlier, someone must have pushed Patriarch and Eldest Young Master out to die!” an old man said in a calm voice, his eyes swept across everyone: “Who is it? Who is it? If you stand out and confess now, you may be dealt with more leniently when we go back. However, if we have to root you out, then the punishment of your crime will be more serious!”
That middle-aged man’s eyes flickered within the crowd as he watched everyone look at each other, as if they were trying to guess who was the one who had done the backhanded deed. At that moment, he was silent and did not speak.
“At that time, I was standing quite close to Patriarch, and I heard the sound of clothes being torn. We can easily find out who did it with a search! Now I will give you one last chance! Stand out by yourself!”
The old man was an Elder of the Mu family. As he shouted again, everyone stared at each other, as if they were trying to see whose clothes were torn. However, at this moment, a coldness flashed across the eyes of the middle-aged man. He strode forward and pointed angrily at the old man: “Third Elder! It was you who pushed Patriarch out, wasn’t it? How dare you shout and question everyone else here? What is your motive for killing the Patriarch?”
Upon hearing this, the members of the Mu family couldn’t help but be confused. The Third Elder killed the Patriarch? How could that be possible?
“You, you, you are slandering me!”
The Third Elder’s face turned red with anger at being accused like this. When he saw the corner of the middle-aged man’s sleeve was missing, his eyes widened involuntarily: “It’s you! You pushed Patriarch! It was you who wanted to harm the Patriarch and Eldest Young Master! There is a part of your sleeve missing, that is the best proof!”
A piece of his sleeve had been torn, he couldn’t deny it even if he wanted to, nor did he have time to change his clothes. Therefore, he didn’t have any intention of hiding it. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have reached out and pointed his hand at the Third Elder to let him see the damage on his sleeve.
At this time, when he heard the Third Elder’s words, he snorted angrily: “Ridiculous! We have been here for so long, whose clothes are still intact? Look at everyone, whose clothes are not torn or not missing a section? If I really did attack Patriarch and Eldest Young Master, would I really use my hand with the missing sleeve to point at you?”
“You are just taking advantage of the situation! Apart from you, who else has a motive to harm the Patriarch? Who else would dare to attack the Patriarch?” The Third Elder said angrily.
Upon hearing those words, the middle-aged man narrowed his eyes: “Third Elder, I know you are prejudiced against me, but I didn’t expect you to use the death of our Patriarch to frame me. You have such a cruel heart!”
