Chapter 837: Chapter 273: “Do You Know What Dragon Dad Is?”_3
“Throughout my ti with him, my heart was always thinking of you, Master, please spare my life!”
“Huh…”
After taking a deep breath, the Ling Pavilion Master forcibly suppressed the rage in his heart and said word by word, “Ling Shiqi was my own flesh and blood, and whatever sches he had were mine as well, sharing the sa origin, so it’s not a big problem.”
“Co on, keep talking. I want to see how many suspects you can point out today.”
“Oh.”
The Bai Family Patriarch nodded indifferently and licked his finger before pulling out a Sound Recording Stone from his bosom again, “There are plenty. Let list them for you in detail.”
And he turned his head to look at Tao Li beside him.
“This Tao Li is also a pri suspect.”
“Heh.”
Tao Li, who was enjoying the spectacle, had not expected the conversation to suddenly turn to him, and he shook his head with a nonchalant smirk, “I’m the only friend of Ling Shiqi. What good would it do to harm him?”
As soon as those words were spoken.
The mory Stone in the Bai Family Patriarch’s hand was crushed.
‘Ling Shiqi, if one day I happen to kill you, would you be upset?’
‘Hey, why aren’t you saying anything?’
‘I’m kidding, you didn’t really believe , did you?’
With a calm deanor, the Bai Family Patriarch explained, “You don’t need to understand; I’ve already collected the information myself. Tao Li, a wanderer from the hidden power ‘Taoyuan’ on the Jiang Taiping Continent, all of his acquaintances have died under various accidents. And before Young Master Ling encountered his misfortune, Tao Li, who had been talking with the young master behind Ling Pavilion, suddenly left.”
“As for why, everyone has their own conclusion.”
“Just now at the grave, Tao Li didn’t shed a single tear.”
“…”
The smile on Tao Li’s face gradually stiffened. This was a private conversation he had had alone with Ling Shiqi. How could it have been recorded?
“Furthermore.”
The Bai Family Patriarch did not keep targeting Tao Li but turned his pointer to another family head beside him, “Another family head of a top-tier power, you brought your people to Ling Pavilion during Ling Shiqi’s hundredth birthday, and your son got humiliated by Ling Shiqi.”
“Here’s the Sound Stone from that day, and the vow you made to your son in private, saying that one day you would definitely kill Ling Shiqi. When the young master was killed ahead of others, you were the happiest, don’t deny it, I have the mory Stone from that day, let show it to you.”
“That smirk can’t be hidden anymore.”
“And you, yes, I’m talking to you, stop looking away. When I brought gifts to your house last ti, you explicitly told …”
At this point, the Bai Family Patriarch had gone completely mad, calling nas like Yama, the king of hell, ticking off list by list with solid evidence, not fabricating anything out of thin air, and those recorded mory Stones that sohow got down without anyone noticing laid everyone’s secrets bare on the table.
“Stop!”
Just then—
The Ling Pavilion Master stopped the farce with a gloomy face as if it could drip water, and gestured, “Serve the dishes!”
The problem had beco sowhat serious. Initially, he only wanted to investigate his own son’s cause of death, but he didn’t expect to unravel so many secrets, that there were so many termites within the Ling Pavilion, and that these allied forces harbored so much resentnt against him, especially since almost everyone had a motive to kill his son.
Damn it!
Having a little sche is normal, but don’t you all think your sches are a bit too much? If he hadn’t known about these little sches, he might have turned a blind eye, but now that everything’s been brought to light, it’s bound to cause a grudge when cooperating in the future.
People can’t co back from the dead, but Ling Pavilion still needs to continue. He is the Ling Pavilion Master first and a father second.
He would put today’s issue aside for now and settle accounts slowly once things had cald down.
“Huh…”
The Bai Family Patriarch exhaled lightly and licked his slightly dry lips before sitting back down. Damn it, they had forced him into a corner where they would all go down together. This was just him selecting so of the less impactful secrets. If he spilled everything,
All the continents would explode today!
Grandma, do they really think his information network on the continent is for nothing?
…
“Anyway, the feast has finally started, at least we got to eat.”
There were so minor hiccups in the process, but the outco was favorable.
Tao Li picked up a chopstick-full of food with an expressionless face and put it into his mouth, but no matter how he chewed, it tasted bitter and hard to swallow. He still couldn’t understand how the Bai Family Patriarch had managed to
Record such a completely private conversation without leaving any trace, hiding the mory Stone in advance?
It was utterly impossible. With their level of cultivation, no mory Stone could be hidden deeply enough to escape their Divine Sense.
He looked up at the direction of the Bai Family Patriarch, only to see other people also looking at the Patriarch with complex expressions.
…
The Bai Family Patriarch, in turn, was completely ignoring the surrounding gazes, feasting heartily to himself. At least he could ensure that the Ling Pavilion Master would not kill him today; rely killing on suspicion would result in no one leaving alive.
You know what kind of person your son was.
His popularity was atrocious to the extre.
With that popularity, even without this ss, he wouldn’t have lived long; no one could guarantee that he wouldn’t be backstabbed soday.
After this banquet ends, he will hide away on the Qi Tian Continent and never co back. Without Ling Shiqi’s nickna, ‘Heavenly King’, the Ling Pavilion had no way of bridging the gap between a low-grade continent and a mid-grade continent.
