Chapter 574: Chapter 574: Collapse Without Attack

Long Sanlin’s face was full of sorrow as he choked up and said: "Mingyue, your uncle thought he had never treated you unfairly, but to think that you would do such things for power, it truly breaks your uncle’s heart!"

"It’s one thing to break your uncle’s heart, but you shouldn’t make your aunt sad! Do you know how much help your aunt secretly gave you over these years?"

"If it weren’t for your aunt secretly sending people to protect you, you would have died many times over."

"Mingyue, consider this a plea from your uncle, if you want your uncle to die, he can die, but your uncle begs you to spare your aunt’s life."

Long Sanlin’s words made Murong Mingyue look extremely upset; how could she not see through Long Sanlin’s intentions?

Long Sanlin was ranting nonsense in front of so many people just to pin a label on her—one that accused her of poisoning her relatives for power.

Once she actually killed Long Sanlin, it wouldn’t matter whether his words were true or false, no one would care, and soon everyone would say she was ungrateful and killed her own uncle for power.

Therefore, Long Sanlin’s words were a self-preservation tactic, with the only way to put her on a moral high ground, so she could only let Long Sanlin go.

Murong Qin also finally snapped out of her shock and urgently, with a face full of pleading, said: "Mingyue, your aunt begs you, don’t kill your uncle, he really is innocent..."

"Innocent?"

Murong Mingyue, with a face pale with anger said: "My dear aunt, do you realize the terrible things your man has done?"

Murong Qin quickly replied: "Aunt understands what you mean, but I can assure you, your uncle would never conspire with a Master of Gu Technique to harm your grandfather, your aunt is willing to swear on her life."

The elites of the Nine Gates of Yandu, at this moment, all wore expressions of surprise, they didn’t know whether Long Sanlin really had colluded with the Master of Gu Technique to harm Murong Fu, nor did they know whether Murong Mingyue was really eliminating opposition for the sake of power.

Although this Murong Family drama was incredibly thrilling, none of them were pleased because Qin Chuan had just mentioned that he would soon be intervening in the matters of the Nine Gates of Yandu.

Maybe their families would be next.

"Aunt, you are incredibly foolish! How could Long Sanlin possibly tell you what he’s done behind the scenes? Why should you risk your life to vouch for his mistakes?"

Murong Mingyue was so angry she felt pain in her chest, she had never imagined her scheming aunt was actually love-struck.

Murong Qin gritted her teeth and said: "Even if you claim he conspired with the Master of Gu Technique to poison your grandfather, you need evidence, if there’s no evidence, why should he die?"

"Don’t say aunt won’t accept, even other members of the Murong Family won’t agree."

"Mingyue, your aunt has already promised you, she’ll never compete with you for the heir position again, if you’re worried, you can have your aunt’s family leave Yandu completely, or even leave Shen Zhou, just please spare your uncle’s life."

Long Sanlin remained silent, though fear could be seen in his eyes, but not much, instead, there was a hint of fierceness deep in his pupils.

Murong Mingyue’s expression turned extremely grim, as the news of Long Sanlin colluding with the Master of Gu Technique to poison Murong Fu had been relayed to her by Qin Chuan, and that Master named Miao Dahai was already dead, where could any evidence possibly come from?

Although her grandfather hadn’t died, he had almost been killed by Long Sanlin, and from the bottom of her heart, she was unwilling to let Long Sanlin off.

But if there is no evidence, how is she supposed to kill Long Sanlin to avenge her grandfather?

Most importantly, Qin Chuan had just said that her aunt’s life was hers to deal with, but Long Sanlin’s life, Qin Chuan wanted to take for himself.

Murong Mingyue knew what kind of person Qin Chuan was; since he said he would take Long Sanlin’s life but had yet to make a move, he was actually testing her, to see how she would handle it.

Realizing this, Murong Mingyue’s gaze suddenly turned cold, and an aura of authority erupted from her.

She coldly looked at Murong Qin and said, "Murong Qin, have you forgotten something?"

Murong Qin was startled and asked with confusion, "What thing?"

Murong Mingyue said coldly, "Now, your life and death are in my hands, yet you still have the face to plead for Long Sanlin?"

"Long Sanlin just said that you had secretly sent someone to protect me. Now, I really want to ask you, I was already favored by grandfather, and already had strong protectors arranged by him to guard me in secret. Do you think the people you sent were better than those grandpa sent?"

Murong Qin’s complexion drastically changed, and she hurriedly said, "It’s not like that, Mingyue, listen to me..."

Murong Mingyue didn’t give Murong Qin a chance to continue, saying coldly, "Were the people you sent meant to protect me or to control my whereabouts? You should be very clear about this."

"I..."

Still not giving Murong Qin a chance to speak, Murong Mingyue continued, "Long Sanlin also said that I aspire to ascend to the top position, and hence shouldn’t stain my hands with familial blood. Because I couldn’t take action against you myself, he wanted to use his life to force you to act against me. Once you attacked, I would have a legitimate reason to kill you."

"Assuming what Long Sanlin said is true, I must kill Long Sanlin today. Murong Qin, do you really dare to strike me for his sake?"

At these words, Long Sanlin’s face suddenly changed dramatically.

He had only been slightly fearful before, but now he realized that Murong Mingyue was truly out to kill him. Any threats and moral constraints were meaningless to the current Murong Mingyue, as she stood backed by an invincible man.

Not to mention Murong Qin, even if it were any other household’s head, who would dare touch a finger on Murong Mingyue?

They had just witnessed with their own eyes that the Guardian of the Eight from the Guardian Hall was so seriously injured that he couldn’t even walk, and had to be carried out by the people from the Law Enforcement Hall.

And even the Great Elder of the Qin Royal Family, one of the top forces of the Ancient Martial World’s Nine Inferior Clans, didn’t dare to run away and could only kneel in front of Qin Chuan.

Such a powerful young man could completely dominate the Secular World; who would dare touch his woman?

Not only had Long Sanlin realized this, but the powers of the Nine Gates of Yandu had too, so Murong Mingyue had no reason to lie. Since she said that Long Sanlin had conspired with the Master of Gu Technique to poison Murong Fu with Gu poison, it must be true.

Only Murong Qin refused to believe it, or more precisely, she was unable to accept this fact.

"No! Your uncle would never conspire with the Master of Gu Technique to poison your grandfather, it’s absolutely impossible!"

Murong Qin suddenly went mad, completely breaking down emotionally, and said to Long Sanlin, "Sanlin, quickly tell her, you didn’t conspire with the Master of Gu Technique to poison my father."
