Upon hearing this, Xuan Jiuling couldn’t help but turn to look at Elder Qingguang.

After finding Xuan Qingling and Liu Buyan, he originally wanted to report to Xuan Yuze but under Liu Buyan’s request, he chose to hide the news.

Since nothing had happened between Xuan Qingling and Liu Buyan and she had already agreed to marry into the White Fen Clan, Xuan Jiuling felt that there was no need for her to stir up more trouble.

After all, Xuan Qingling was a lady of the Black Tortoise Clan. If any gossip were to spread, it would damage the reputation of the entire Black Tortoise Clan.

Because of this, Xuan Jiuling even sent those practitioners who were chasing after Liu Buyan to the front line of Blessed City.

Who knew that Elder Qingguang, who was far away in the Black Tortoise Continent, still learned of this news.

Could it really be as Liu Buyan had guessed…Was this related to Elder Qingguang?

Xuan Jiuling was puzzled, but he didn’t say anything.

This was the first time Xuan Yuze had heard of this news, and he was shocked.” What? Elder Qingguang, what did you say? How could such a thing happen? Qingling has always known the severity of the situation. She would never do such a thing!”

Elder Qingguang had a calm expression. “Patriarch, I’m afraid you’ve misjudged the person. Now, this matter had reached the White Fen Clan, and Young Master An had even personally caught Xuan Qingling’s adulterer. Only you are kept in the dark. If you don’t believe me, you can ask her yourself.”

Xuan Yuze turned his head in surprise and looked at Xuan Qingling.

Xuan Qingling’s expression remained the same.” Patriarch,” she said, neither servile nor overbearing. ” What Elder Qingguang said is just a rumour. Junior and Young Master Liu are only good friends who got to know each other through training and he’s a doctor. I accidentally got poisoned, so Young Master Liu came with me for a period of time to save me. I have already explained all of these to Young Master An.”

Xuan Yuze knew that Xuan Qingling had always been straightforward and disdained to lie. When he heard this, he secretly heaved a sigh of relief, but his expression was still quite serious.

“You’re too reckless. After all, they were already engaged. Even if they were ordinary friends, they could not get too close. No wonder Young Master An misunderstood. In the future, after you get married, you must not make the same mistake again, understand?”

Xuan Qingling nodded.

When Elder Qingguang saw that Xuan Yuze did not have any intention of pursuing the matter seriously, she immediately became anxious, and her tone became more anxious.

“Wait, Patriarch, how can you believe Xuan Qingling’s one-sided words? She’s clearly trying to get away with it by deliberately hiding it! What accidental poisoning? She clearly ran away overnight because her adultery was exposed and she was afraid of being punished by the clan rules!”

“What? How is that possible?” Xuan Yuze’s expression changed drastically.” Elder Qingguang, do you have any evidence for your words?”

Elder Qingguang was waiting for him to say this. He nodded immediately.” Of course I have evidence.” Xuan Qingling was having an affair with that brat surnamed Liu in the inn. At that time, she was discovered by the servant girl and the steward. These two people… I brought them all today.”

After she finished speaking, she immediately waved her hand and gestured for the servants to bring the witness in.

Not long after, a young woman and a middle-aged man with a goatee walked in with trepidation and bowed to the people in the room.

“Don’t hide anything you saw that night,” said Elder Qingguang.”Just report it to the Patriarch.”

The middle-aged Steward kowtowed and said,” Miss Qingling checked into the inn that I’m in charge of five months ago. She has been locked up and claimed to be cultivating in seclusion. However, one night, a young man came to visit.”
