Chapter 36: How dare you lie

Bai Fenghua’s face turned red with anger. She couldn’t believe what she was hearing. How dare Bai Long accuse her son of such a thing? If she could, she would have slapped him twice.

Bai Long shook his head. "I’m not pushing the blame onto anyone, Mother Fenghua. I’m just stating the facts. Bai Huan had the silver eagle, and he released it. It’s his fault that the leopard came here. Yeah, he even tried to kill me. He is a black sheep, he needs to be punished... The audacity to harm his own family members. Bai Huan needs to be taught a lesson."

"Good thing I have the dragon inheritance, otherwise who could tell what might happen... Elder Wu, please punish Bai Huan for his sins," Bai Long added with a straight face.

Bai Huan gritted his teeth. "Bai Long, you liar! How dare you accuse me of such a thing? I had nothing to do with this! Elder Wu, trust me... I don’t have any connection with the Silver Eagle."

Bai Long raised an eyebrow. "Oh? Then why did you have the silver eagle? Don’t lie, Bai Huan. I saw you with it..."

Bai Huan’s face turned pale. How can he have a silver eagle!? It’s all a lie, Bai Long is trying to frame him.

"You!!... Good! Good! Good! What proof do you have that I had the silver eagle!? What proof do you have that I tried to kill you!? You are speaking nonsense because you know I am better than you, and you want to sabotage me. You are just a weak-minded person unable to digest that I, Bai Huan, am better than you in every aspect."

"You dare dream with open eyes!? Have some shame... In what way are you better than me!? Elder Wu, I have the proof. Bai Huan’s new concubine, Liu Ruyan, she knows the plans of Bai Huan... Bai Huan tried to poison me using a heinous poison. All the proofs are in his room." Bai Long was confident.

First of all, Liu Ruyan was a cheap whore and she was under his clutch, and second of all, Bai Huan really had a poison prepared according to the system based on the original plotline.

Keke, Bai Huan will be punished now...

..

Elder Wu glared at Bai Huan with a fierce intensity that seemed to pierce through the very essence of mortal skin.

The air grew thick with tension, and his consciousness started to feel heavy. Bai Huan could feel the penetrating gaze like a physical weight upon his shoulders.

An icy bead of sweat trickled down his forehead, and with an instinctive movement, he brushed it away, though he could feel more beginning to form as dread crept into his heart.

He swallowed hard. His throat felt dry and constricted, as he tried to maintain his composure under the elder’s scrutinizing stare.

Fear coiled in his stomach like a serpent, because he did in fact possess the poison that he had prepared for Bai Long once he was sent to the rural area.

But how did Bai Long know about it!? That makes no sense.

Liu Ruyan!? Could it be that woman!? Did Bai Long plan all this!? Shit... Does that mean his whole life he has been dancing under the palm of Bai Long!?

No, that’s simply not possible. How can Bai Long be smart enough to calculate everything when he can’t even calculate two numbers?

If that woman didn’t betray him, it’s literally impossible for Bai Long to know about all this. But how can she!? She is a sweet little girl.

She is his concubine and she knows how to please him, so how can she be working under Bai Long!? Not to mention, she was all new and he knew Liu Ruyan and Bai Long didn’t have much connection between them.

..

Elder Wu’s voice cut through the silence, his tone cold and unforgiving, eyes narrowed like sharp daggers. "Little Huan, do you have the poison in your room?"

Bai Huan hesitated for a moment, unsure of how to respond. He couldn’t deny the accusation outright, but admitting to it would only worsen his situation.

He tried to use his tiny mind in hopes of finding a way out of this situation, but the weight of Elder Wu’s gaze and the accusatory stares of the other family members made it difficult for him to think clearly.

Gulp!

He swallowed once again.

Finally, he decided to speak, choosing his words carefully.

"Elder Wu, I... I do have the poison, but I was going to use it to protect myself from Bai Long. He has threatened me before, and I was afraid for my safety."

He tried to sound as sincere as possible, hoping that the elder would believe him and understand his perspective.

But it seems he forgot, just days ago, it was him issuing the life-and-death battle against Bai Long. Thus, his words fell flat, met with disbelief and anger from the gathered elders.

"E-Elder... Believe me, I wouldn’t do something like poison someone else. I am an honest Daoist. I dare not go against the teachings of the ancestors," Bai Huan added.

"Yes! Yes! My son is an honest child... It’s Bai Long who is dishonest, always causing trouble for the family. How can my child think of poisoning someone else... Just how scared my child must have been to prepare a self-defense against Bai Long," Bai Huan’s mother supported her child.

"You witch... How dare you slander my son? He is a child, he makes some mistakes. Your son is a heinous demon, using schemes and all to harm my son. How can you say Huan is honest? He should be punished..." Bai Long’s mother also supported Bai Long.

"You... You... You... If your son can make some silly mistakes, why can’t my son make silly mistakes!? It’s you who is a witch," Bai Fenghua roared.

"Silence..." Bai Long’s voice echoed.

"Elder Wu, let’s give a proper burial for father and grandfather first. Even though they used to call me trash and beat me, I used to look up to them and love them. I dare not tolerate their bodies being so openly displayed... They deserve peace."

Of course, they deserve to rot in hell, but Bai Long dare not reveal his real thoughts. He is an honest Daoist and a loving son with a magnanimous heart.

Of course, it will save Bai Huan for the time being, so, that way, Bai Long can control Huan’s mother.

He stole a glance at her, she had a wide child-bearing hip.
