Chapter 113: Such a Hypocrite
She took one step forward then fell on her knees. “I admit my guilt. I did not believe in my elder sister, and that’s on . As for the Spirit Stabilizing Pill...” Feng Xiupei clenched her teeth harder, then took out a brocade box from her storage ring. “This is from my Master, but my sister needs it more than I do, so I’m giving it to her now.”
“Pei’er!” Xu Jiayi shouted anxiously. That was a Spirit Stabilizing Pill! How could she give it away so easily?
Feng Xiupei lowered her eyes. “Eldest Sister needs it more.”
Grade 5 Spirit Stabilizing Pills were only useful to those who were at the Spiritual Master level or above. Feng Tianlan was only at the Spiritualist level, so she wouldn’t be able to use it at this stage, and she had ti to get it back. She was going to just leave it with her for a while, so Feng Xiupei was not worried.
Feng Tianlan took the box from her hands and opened it to find a Grade 5 Spirit Stabilizing Pill with a fusion rate of 75. This was extrely rare in the Guiyuan Continent. Since Feng Xiupei was willing to give it up to silence the crowd, everyone assud that she must be scheming sothing even more terrible.
“A Grade 5 Spirit Stabilizing Pill is an invaluable item. My Second Sister sure is generous.” Feng Tianlan put it into her Pill Scroll Realm, as if it had belonged to her all along, then glanced at Feng Xiupei, who had pursed her lips into a smile despite feeling deep pain.
When she saw the Spirit Stabilizing Pill land in Feng Tianlan’s hands, Feng Xiupei’s heart bled inside. She had to tolerate it for the ti being.
“Earlier, you admitted your guilt—that’s admitting to murder.” The governor had not forgotten why they were all here in the first place. This was a court, not a theatre.
Feng Xiupei continued kneeling with her eyes lowered. “I admit my guilt. But I do not confess to the cri of preditated murder, only manslaughter. This Marrow Cleansing Pill was originally ant for my younger sister, Feng Xiuyu. But then, I heard that her cinnabar field had been destroyed, so I decided to give it to my elder sister at the last minute. Perhaps so people don’t like , so they...they are trying to make fall out with my sisters.”
It didn’t matter what thod she used. As long as she wasn’t labelled a murderer, she could find so way to support her story. After all, she did have several enemies at the Flying Frost Pavilion. Plenty of people had picked on her or tried to fra her, so this was a plausible story.
Hearing this, Feng Tianlan laughed quietly. Then, with a mocking smile, she gave a gentle reminder: “Second Sister, this story doesn’t add up. Earlier, when you gave the pill to , you said that you had specially asked your Master for the Marrow Cleansing Pill for . Why are you now saying that it was ant for Third Sister?”
Her mory was really terrible. It had only been two hours since this whole thing had started, but she couldn’t recall exactly what she had said.
“Eldest Sister...” Anger flashed in Feng Xiupei’s eyes, but when she looked up at Feng Tianlan, she put on her most piteous expression. She looked as though she was asking why Feng Tianlan was picking on her, or in what way she had sohow offended Feng Tianlan.
“Eldest Sister, do you rember wrongly?” She really did not rember what she had said.
“Second Miss did say that she had specially requested the Marrow Cleaning Pill for Feng Tianlan.”
“So, who’s telling the truth and who’s lying?”
“I don’t know. So, first she says that the pill was intended for Feng Tianlan, but now that soone has died she says it was ant for Feng Xiuyu. Then, she also hid away the Spirit Stabilizing Pill. What did she say about that at first?”
“She said that it was ant for Feng Xiuyu but then hinted that Feng Tianlan had snatched it away, which was why Feng Xiuyu ntioned sothing about a Feng family treasure. Now, she says that her Master gave it to her, but since Feng Tianlan needed it more, she wanted to give it to Feng Tianlan.”
“Oh my god. So many lies in just a few sentences. How can we believe what she says?”
“Haha! She killed that man. I believe that.”
“Oh gosh. She’s such a hypocrite. She only created a perfect image of herself, but she’s really just a fake person.”
“...”
The crowd started finding all sorts of ways to mock and tease Feng Xiupei. Her face grew paler and paler until she was almost unable to suppress her true personality.
