1733 Take Full Responsibility!
Chu Liuyue politely bowed.
Miao Yang’s gaze stopped on her for a moment, and he quickly retracted it.
“May I know… what your sudden visit today means?” Miao Yang asked this curtly.
Everyone present clearly saw that the air above the square suddenly shook, and the space broke open. Then, the two people appeared.
One had to know that Godly Dragon Island was surrounded by layers of barriers. Even their own clansmen couldn’t casually enter, let alone the human clan.
However, these two people completely neglected those barriers and directly broke through the void to come here!
This… This could easily arouse suspicion.
“It’s a long story.” Rong Xiu smiled, and he still looked calm and composed. Then, he briefly explained the entire incident.
Of course, he directly left out many details in between.
After he finished talking, the crowd present kept quiet, and their faces had varying expressions. However, the majority of them clearly had doubtful attitudes.
Even Miao Yang looked shocked. “…That means you mysteriously came here from the God-Killing Tumulus?”
Rong Xiu nodded. “Yue’er and I had no intentions of coming here. If we have offended you, Clan Leader Miao Yang, do forgive us.”
Seeing his genuine expression, Miao Yang was at a loss for words. He had thought of many possibilities, but not this one.
This sounded too strange! If they didn’t personally experience it, why would they come up with such a reason?
Besides, with the duo’s capabilities, they definitely couldn’t silently break through their defenses and directly enter. This also meant that… whatever Rong Xiu said was true?
Of course, Miao Yang wouldn’t completely believe him, but he did feel that a portion of Rong Xiu’s words should be true.
Miao Yang fell silent.
Outsiders could not verify such matters; the authenticity was decided by their words.
Rong Xiu’s status isn’t low, and we clearly can’t casually take his life. But now that they suddenly came here, they have to accept the relevant punishment. After a while, Miao Yang said,
“Actually, we don’t mean to purposely put you two in a difficult spot, but… you interrupted our Thousand Summit and stepped on the jade disc used for testing. I’m afraid we have to clear this matter up.”
Thousand Summit? Chu Liuyue was dazed for a moment and suddenly realized what was happening. No wonder! I was wondering why there were so many people around. It’s because the great phoenix dragon clan is holding a Thousand Summit!
The so-called Thousand Summit was actually similar to the red-gold heavenly phoenix clan’s ancestral ceremony.
Every hundred years, the great phoenix dragon clan would organize a Thousand Summit to test the younger generation’s bloodline talent. This could be considered the grandest event in their clan, and it was very important to them.
Now that she and Rong Xiu interrupted it halfway, it was no wonder they would be angry.
This Miao Yang is very cultured, which is why he can actually say such words calmly. If it were Yi Zhao—
Suddenly, Chu Liuyue focused on something, and uneasiness overwhelmed her heart. Since this Thousand Summit is similar to the ancestral ceremony, then… it should prohibit outsiders from casually appearing here!
Rong Xiu and I are in great trouble! The great phoenix dragon clan will definitely not let this incident go!
And that jade disc… Chu Liuyue looked down and glanced at it. “Clan Leader Miao Yang, this jade disc…”
Miao Yang lightly said, “Actually, this jade disc isn’t considered a top treasure, but I only have this one piece now. After it’s damaged, it’s very hard to replicate another one.”
Chu Liuyue’s breathing stopped.
Although Miao Yang’s tone was calm, she could tell how precious the item was!
Unique, and it was a treasure that was specifically used during Thousand Summits! They crushed it just like that!
If they didn’t compensate them properly, even she wouldn’t feel good about it.
“However, the two of you didn’t do it on purpose just now. This…”
“Clan Leader, why must you be so polite to them? In my opinion, they clearly did it on purpose!” Miao Yao tolerated it, but couldn’t hold back in the end. Then, he stood up again and looked agitated.
He raised his hand and pointed at Chu Liuyue as he said every word with clenched teeth. “Especially this Shangguan Yue—she’s very cunning and ruthless! How can there be such a coincidence in the world? They came from the God-Killing Tumulus miles away and directly arrived at our Godly Dragon Island in one shot?! Additionally, they even crushed the jade disc coincidentally?!”
The crowd nodded in agreement. Even though Miao Yao is very agitated, his words make sense. This series of matters is too coincidental! It’s hard for people to believe it!
Upon hearing this, Chu Liuyue’s lips curled up at an ice-cold angle as she turned around to look at Miao Yao. “Senior Miao Yao, you need to have evidence when you speak. It’s too overboard for you to smear us directly without proof, right? If you insist on what you said just now, then… Do I have reason to suspect that you’re using official means to avenge your personal grudges? Just because I won that bet and caused you to be severely injured, you bear this vengeance and want to take this chance to frame us?”
Miao Yang’s face flashed green and white. “You!”
What a sharp tongue! When I dealt with this Shangguan Yue in the beginning, I had already witnessed how amazing she was. However, it was at Ling Xiao Academy back then!
Now that she is at Godly Dragon Island—in our territory, she is still as arrogant as ever! How ridiculous! What a joke!
Miao Yao’s chest intensely heaved up and down as his finger pointed at Chu Liuyue trembled slightly. Then, he whipped his sleeves harshly. “Explain properly then! What exactly is going on? If you can explain it clearly and produce evidence, we’ll believe you! If not… you did it on purpose!”
Chu Liuyue squinted her eyes and was frustrated. I never expected to end up at Godly Dragon Island directly. Did I come here willingly?! I would love to never have any interactions with the great phoenix dragon clan, but now, it all seems like a vain hope.
“Miao Yao’s words make sense.” Miao Yang spoke again in the silence.
He seemed as gentle as normal and didn’t look weird at all. However, his words gradually became sharp.
“The Thousand Summit is the grandest event in our clan. For this event, our entire clan has been busying ourselves to ensure its success. But now… everything has turned into nothingness. Even if the two of you didn’t do it on purpose, you can’t be fully absolved of the responsibility, right?”
“Of course,” said Rong Xiu openly.
He raised his chin slightly, and his line was smooth.
The corner of his lips curled up in a smile, yet his eyes were calm. He just stood like that, and his entire body revealed an indescribable elegance that caused one to bow down instinctively to him.
“If we were in the wrong, we’ll definitely take full responsibility and not shirk from it.”
