Chapter 13

Lying quietly on the bed, Dongfang Xiuzhe listened as his mother and a few elder sisters took care of him, while everyone else had already left.

Xie Qiuping still shed silent tears in sorrow, constantly blaming herself. If she hadn't entrusted Zhe'er to that woman, Zhe'er wouldn't be in this state now.

"Mother, don't be sad. I believe my brother will be fine. Good people will always have divine protection," Dongfang Xiuzhe's eldest sister, Dongfang Shuying, comforted her.

"Mother, you should go down and rest. Uncle Lin just said that my brother is fine. Don't be sad anymore," Dongfang Xiuzhe's third sister, Dongfang Yutong, also tried to console her.

"That despicable woman, I will kill her with my own hands one day!" Dongfang Xiuzhe's second sister, Dongfang Jinxuan, said fiercely.

Listening to his sisters' conversation, Dongfang Xiuzhe found that his second sister, Dongfang Jinxuan, had a temperament that matched his own. That woman was a venomous snake, and her existence was a disaster to the world.

"I wonder how things are outside?"

Dongfang Xiuzhe was curious about what was happening in the hall, but with his sisters and mother present, he couldn't use the Yin-Yang Five Elements technique to spy. He could only rely on his hearing to eavesdrop.

None of the people by the bed noticed that Dongfang Xiuzhe's small ears twitched slightly.

......

Dongfang Tianba was not a senile old man. He had already understood the whole situation. No wonder his adopted son was so angry. If this had happened to him, he would have killed someone with a knife long ago!

"Beast! How could I have a son like you!"

Dongfang Tianba stared at Dongfang Bao, so angry that he was almost spitting blood. He never imagined that his son could do something so heinous, ruining his lifelong reputation in one fell swoop.

There was no need to ask; it was clear that Dongfang Bao had incited Cui Meiling to drug his grandson. Otherwise, even if Cui Meiling had the nerve, she wouldn't dare to do such a thing!

"What did I do in my past life to deserve this!" Dongfang Tianba suddenly seemed much older.

He really wanted to execute his son to prevent him from harming others in the future. But when it came to action, the old man found it hard to do, after all, he was his own son!

Moreover, he couldn't act now; he had to think about how to plead for this beast.

He knew Dongfang Long's character; he wouldn't easily get angry, but once he did, it was hard to calm him down.

He believed that as long as the evidence was solid and Cui Meiling testified, Dongfang Bao would definitely be executed and displayed publicly!

If that happened, his old face would be utterly disgraced!

As the saying goes: "Family shame should not be publicized!"

Although Dongfang Tianba knew all the blame lay with Dongfang Bao and not with Dongfang Long, he still wanted to minimize the incident.

Dongfang Bao, however, didn't understand his father's good intentions. Seeing Dongfang Long order a killing without hesitation, and sensing the killing intent directed at him, he became frightened!

He knew that Dongfang Long held real power and could order a group of experts to cut him down with a single command!

"I can't die, I don't want to die!"

Sweat appeared on Dongfang Bao's pale face, and his gaze involuntarily turned to his wife, who had been dragged back.

You ungrateful woman, you're dragging me down even in death. Since you were unfaithful, don't blame me for being unrighteous!

No one noticed that Dongfang Bao's eyes became increasingly venomous and hateful, like a wolf preparing to pounce, silently approaching his target.

"Cui Meiling, speak clearly. Who ordered you to do this?"

Dongfang Long already knew it was Dongfang Bao, but he wanted Cui Meiling to say it herself.

"General, spare my life!" Cui Meiling knelt down.

She was already terrified, and the earlier defiance was gone. Knowing this might be her last chance to live, she spoke without reservation.

"General, it was all...," Cui Meiling said, turning to look at her ungrateful husband, Dongfang Bao.

But what she saw was a face of evil and coldness, and eyes that seemed ready to devour her!

Suddenly, Dongfang Bao's accumulated martial energy burst out, and he struck Cui Meiling's face with a palm.

"Whore, today I will enforce justice!"

No one expected Dongfang Bao to suddenly attack his own wife, and since he was close to Cui Meiling, by the time Dongfang Long and Dongfang Tianba reacted, Cui Meiling's body had already been thrown out!

One palm, and she was dead!

Dongfang Bao's cultivation was personally taught by his father, Dongfang Tianba. Although his power was not as great as Dongfang Long's, it was more than enough to kill someone like Cui Meiling!

"You..."

Dongfang Long's eyes widened. He couldn't believe that there were such beasts in the world, capable of killing their own wife.

Dongfang Tianba was also stunned. Looking at Cui Meiling's body on the ground, he drew a sharp breath, his eyes filled with unfamiliarity!

Is... Is this really my son?

Dongfang Tianba couldn't accept this fact. He had always thought that Dongfang Bao was just rash, but his character was not a problem. But today, he realized he was completely wrong. His son was so ruthless that even he, the father, was shaken!

The guards in the hall immediately surrounded Dongfang Bao, swords and spears drawn, ready to execute him on Dongfang Long's command.

"Dongfang Long," Dongfang Bao suddenly spoke, looking at Dongfang Long with a sneer, "What, is it a crime to execute a traitor?"

He smiled, showing no remorse, but rather a hint of satisfaction. He thought to himself: Dongfang Long, now there's no one to testify against me. What can you do? You can't kill me!

"You... You can actually do such a thing?" Dongfang Long pointed at Dongfang Bao, at a loss for words.

In his heart, a wife should be cherished and protected with one's life!

But in Dongfang Bao's heart, a wife was like a piece of clothing, easily replaceable!

"You beast, today I will also execute a traitor!" Just as Dongfang Bao was gloating, Dongfang Tianba's palm was already close!

This palm was different from the one that struck Cui Meiling. This time, he used martial energy!

"Boom!" A loud noise, and Dongfang Bao's body was thrown through the wall, landing in the courtyard.

This showed the power of the palm!

The situation had far exceeded Dongfang Long's expectations. With one dead and one severely injured, could he still pursue further?

Dongfang Tianba's palm, to be honest, saved Dongfang Bao's life. Otherwise, with Dongfang Long's anger, even if Dongfang Tianba tried to stop him, he would have killed this beast.

The events of the day were truly dramatic, and Dongfang Long felt extremely exhausted. He only hoped that his son would not suffer any aftereffects.

He never imagined that his son was secretly rejoicing on the bed, nor did he realize that his son had heard everything clearly.
