Chapter 13734 Shameless

There was a hint of caution in the middle-aged man's eyes. After all, he did not dare to underestimate the strength that Ling Xiao had shown before. But at the same time, there was arrogance in his eyes. It seemed that in his eyes, even if Ling Xiao had some skills, he was just that good.

"As expected of the legendary madman who dares to chop even the Templar warriors, he is indeed quite capable." His voice was low and cold, with a hint of disdain.

Ling Xiao looked calm, and just glanced at the other person indifferently, as if the other person's words could not affect him at all. "I don't seem to have any grudges with you Yu Clan. It's not very kind to attack you as soon as we meet." His tone was calm, but there was a hint of questioning.

The man with five-colored wings snorted coldly, his eyes were like knives, and he said coldly: "We are not targeting you, but because Qin Xianglan has an engagement with my Feather Clan." His words were like a blockbuster bomb, stirring up a thousand waves in everyone's hearts.

"Oh, so that's how it is. Are you here to save her?" Ling Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly, a hint of curiosity flashed in his eyes, and asked softly.

The man with five-colored wings looked stern and said in a cold voice: "Whether we come to save her or kill her, it doesn't matter. We just want her, okay?" There was an unquestionable arrogance in his voice.

"Kill her?" Ling Xiao was stunned when he heard this, with a look of surprise on his face. He never thought that the purpose of the Feather Clan would be so strange.

Qin Xianglan, who was standing by, heard this and a wry smile appeared on her face. She said helplessly: "It seems that the family is really going to abandon me. My innocence has been ruined by you, and you have to be responsible." As she spoke, she looked at Ling Xiao with a slightly resentful look.

Ling Xiao frowned, feeling somewhat helpless. He looked at the man again and said seriously, "If I say that Qin Xianglan and I have never had any physical contact, and we haven't even held hands, would you believe me?" His eyes were clear, trying to find a hint of trust in the other person's reaction.

"What do you think?" The middle-aged man's eyes were as cold as the water in a cold pond, and he said coldly without a trace of warmth.

"Even if we really believe what you said, do you think we can stop the world from talking? We of the Feather Clan have always been respectful. Since she has made an engagement with us, she shouldn't be hanging out with you like this. With all these rumors flying around, the only way to prove her innocence is for her to die!"

His voice was low and eerie, echoing in the dark and quiet forest, like a sentence from hell, sending chills down one's spine. At this moment, a breeze blew by, and the leaves in the forest rustled, as if they were also lamenting over these cruel words.

Upon hearing this, Ling Xiao couldn't help but sigh slightly, with a trace of helplessness and regret on his face.

He shook his head and said earnestly, "Big families can be really cowardly sometimes. No matter what the outside world says, as the fiancé's family, you should trust the woman you haven't married yet. It's really unfair to take someone's life based on some unfounded rumors."

His tone was calm, yet revealed a firm strength, and he looked directly at the middle-aged man with a frank gaze.

"Bullshit!" The white-haired young man who had been holding back his anger could no longer suppress his rage. He suddenly jumped up, his eyes wide open like bells, and he roared with a red face, "You kidnapped that bitch, and even flirted with her in front of everyone. You still want me to trust you after doing this? Do you think I'm a fool? Do you think the hair on my head is green?"

He was shouting and waving his arms, his emotions were extremely excited, veins popped on his forehead, as if he was going to rush up and fight Ling Xiao to the death in the next second. The air around him seemed to be ignited by his anger, becoming hot and restless.

When Qin Xianglan heard this, a mocking sneer appeared on her face, and the smile was full of sadness and disdain. "In that case, you can just cancel the engagement, why do you have to kill me?" She straightened her back, her eyes were full of stubbornness, and she looked at the middle-aged man fearlessly.

The middle-aged man shook his head slowly, his face expressionless, like a cold stone statue.

"You have become a disgrace to our Feather Clan. If I don't kill you, wherever our Feather Clan goes, it will always be like there is a green grassland on our heads. How can our Feather Clan hold our heads up? Don't blame me for being cruel and ruthless."

His words were decisive and unquestionable. At this moment, a dark cloud passed through the sky, blocking the weak sunlight that originally shone through the forest, making the atmosphere in the dense forest even more depressing.

"Don't blame you? Haha, you're going to kill me, and you want me to not blame you?" Qin Xianglan was so angry that she was shaking all over, and her laughter was filled with endless grief and indignation. She clenched her fists tightly, her nails almost sinking into her palms, and tears flashed in her eyes, but those tears were full of anger and unwillingness.

"When I was in the Qin family, I held a high position, and my marriage with your Yu Clan was a good story. But now, just because of some unfounded rumors, you want to kill me. Is this the way you call a famous family behave?"

She questioned, her voice echoing in the dense forest, as if accusing the whole world of this unfair fate.

The middle-aged man's expression remained indifferent. He looked at Qin Xianglan calmly and said slowly:

"If you want to blame someone, blame yourself. You had a bright future, but you provoked Ling Xiao. Now everything is your own fault. And the mistake you made caused my Yu Clan to bear the humiliation. Who else should I blame but you? Forgive me for being blunt, but for the reputation of my Yu Clan and your Qin Family, you should choose to end your life. It can also be regarded as your last contribution to the family."

His tone was calm, but every word was like a knife, piercing Qin Xianglan's heart. After hearing this, Qin Xianglan felt dizzy, her legs went weak, and she almost collapsed to the ground. The surrounding trees seemed to be mourning for her experience, with their branches and leaves drooping and swaying gently in the breeze.

Ling Xiao stood aside, his face cold and indifferent, like a statue without emotion. To him, what the middle-aged man said did make some sense.

Qin Xianglan had indeed taken the initiative to approach him and provoke him in the beginning. From the entanglement in the beginning, to the various troubles she got into later, to her current miserable situation, when she thought about it carefully, it was really all her own fault.

However... Ling Xiao narrowed his eyes slightly, his gaze as cold as a star, sweeping over the middle-aged man and the people of the Feather Clan who were eyeing him covetously. He thought to himself that the Qin family who abandoned Qin Xianglan, and the Feather Clan who were determined to kill Qin Xianglan, their actions were truly despicable.

If these two well-known forces on the mainland wanted to deal with him, Ling Xiao, he could understand and even admire their decisiveness and courage. After all, he was not a pushover and had numerous conflicts with various forces. (End of this chapter)
