Xuanyuan Shen had just died, and Luther changed the way he addressed Jing Sa from Third Madam to Madam Jing.

Things had changed so quickly.

Liuli Nuonuo nodded. “That’s right, word for word.” Liuli Nuonuo looked at Jing Sa teasingly and deliberately provoked her. “Look, now that your ‘Brother Shen’ has left, aren’t you going to chase after him?”

Jing Sa’s expression instantly became interesting.

Luo Shihan heaved a sigh of relief when she saw Jing Sa being mocked by Liuli Nuonuo without any ability to quibble. She thought to herself, ‘Fortunately, I didn’t pretend to cry just now.’

Sheng Lingfeng and the others were outsiders. Now that Xuanyuan Shen was dead, and Xuanyuan Shen’s women had started a fight, it was inappropriate for them, a group of outsiders, to stay here and watch the commotion.

Sheng Lingfeng said to Liuli Nuonuo, “Madam Xuanyuan, although Xuanyuan Shen is already dead and it’s meaningless to pursue his responsibility, he colluded with the heavens. This is a serious crime. According to the Beast Tamer law, he can’t have the chance to reincarnate. So…”

Sheng Lingfeng looked at Xuanyuan Ming and frowned. “We have to take Xuanyuan Shen to the execution ground of the Beast Tamer Prison and grind his bones to dust!”

A look of struggle flashed across Xuanyuan Ming’s eyes when he heard this. Xuanyuan Yao knelt down in front of Sheng Lingfeng and grabbed his wrist humbly. He begged for mercy, “President, Patriarch Sheng, Mr. Sheng! You and my father have been old friends for many years. My father must have been forced by the heavens. Please, on account of your many years of friendship, let him rest in peace. Don’t reduce him to ashes, okay?”

Xuanyuan Yao was the most mediocre of the three children, but he was also the one who admired Xuanyuan Shen the most and loved him the most.

When he heard that his father would be dragged away to be burned to ashes, he immediately panicked.

Hearing Xuanyuan Yao’s words, before Sheng Lingfeng could speak, Xuanyuan Ming said angrily, “Second Brother, Father’s actions are a disgrace to the Xuanyuan Clan! He’s a sinner. You shouldn’t beg for mercy for a sinner!”

When Xuanyuan Yao heard his brother’s words, he found a place to vent his anger, fear, and grievance.

Xuanyuan Yao turned around and scolded Xuanyuan Ming, “Xuanyuan Ming, shut up! You hate him for using underhanded methods to get your mother! You can’t wait for him to die, so you’re indifferent when you see that he’s going to be burned to ashes! But he didn’t let my mother down! He’s a sinner, but he’s also my father! He’s already dead, so why burn his bones to ashes?!”

“Xuanyuan Ming, do you know that once Father is reduced to ashes, he will disappear from this world forever?! Xuanyuan Ming, can you really bear to accept this?!”

At this moment, Xuanyuan Ming’s eyes gradually turned red.

In the past, because Xuanyuan Shen had deliberately tarnished Liuli Nuonuo’s image, the people of the Divine Moon Empire had a very bad impression of her. As the child of Liuli Nuonuo, Xuanyuan Ming had been secretly scolded as the son of a slut when he was young.

Due to these things, Xuanyuan Ming hated Liuli Nuonuo when he was young. He hated her for being promiscuous and shameless. Because he was not close to his mother, Xuanyuan Ming had always been very close to his father, Xuanyuan Shen.

It was only later, when Xuanyuan Shen’s true colors were revealed and he found out that his mother was the one who had truly suffered, that Xuanyuan Ming deliberately distanced himself from his father and deliberately interacted more with his mother to make up for the estrangement between them during the past hundred years.

Now, Xuanyuan Shen was about to be reduced to ashes. How could Xuanyuan Ming not feel heartache?

But Xuanyuan Shen was a sinner who had colluded with the heavens!

It was true that he was pitiful, but what about those who were killed by the heavens?

Now, the Grand State Master Mo Xiao’s body had not completely rotted. What right did he have to beg for mercy for his father?!

Xuanyuan Shen’s actions had already tarnished the Xuanyuan Clan’s reputation. In the future, it would probably be very difficult for the Xuanyuan Clan to recruit guest elders and Beast Tamer disciples. If this continued, the Xuanyuan Clan would definitely fall from a second-rate clan to a third-rate clan, or even an F-rate clan.

After Xuanyuan Shen fell, Xuanyuan Ming had to bear the burden of his father’s sins and lead the Xuanyuan Clan forward. Under such circumstances, Xuanyuan Ming couldn’t protect his father.

Protecting Xuanyuan Shen was leading the Xuanyuan Clan to eternal damnation.

Without arguing with Xuanyuan Yao, Xuanyuan Ming bowed to Sheng Lingfeng, Carasso, and Ji Linyuan.

He lowered his eyes and stared at the ground. His eyes were already blurred with tears, but his voice sounded calm and firm. “Xuanyuan Shen of the Xuanyuan Clan colluded with the heavens, brought shame upon the Xuanyuan Clan and caused the Holy Spirit Continent to suffer. His sins are grave! Xuanyuan Ming, the son of a sinner, implores the Alliance to turn Xuanyuan Shen’s bones into ashes as a punishment and a warning to others!”

Xuanyuan Yao’s eyes widened. “Xuanyuan Ming, are you crazy?!”

Luo Shihan and Jing Sa looked at Xuanyuan Ming in shock.

From the moment Xuanyuan Ming bent down and said these words, he showed how farsighted he was. Perhaps this child’s cultivation and talent were not as good as Xuanyuan Jing’s, but in terms of foresight, he was the best.

Sheng Lingfeng looked at Xuanyuan Ming with relief and heartache. Although Xuanyuan Shen was a jerk, he had an outstanding son like Xuanyuan Ming. His life was not in vain.

“Ming’er.” Sheng Lingfeng patted Xuanyuan Ming’s shoulder heavily and said, “You have enjoyed the honor your father brought you, and you will continue to live with your father’s sins, but he is him, and you are you. Although you are the son of a sinner, you are not a sinner.”

“The future is very long. I hope you can stay principled, upright, and do everything with a clear conscience!”

Xuanyuan Ming’s tears fell to the ground. He closed his eyes and sighed. Then, he bowed to Sheng Lingfeng and said in a choked voice, “I will remember Mr. Sheng’s teachings!”
