Shame. There was shame on every Cheng’s members’ face.
All the elders were pondering. They tried to recall what had happened in the past tens of years; the more they thought about it, the worse they looked.
They had started discovered bit by bit that what the Eleventh Elder had said was all true. Every talent or disciple that they had lost over the years had something to do with First Elder, and none of these were positive ones.
And now, everyone that was left were only the ones who’d bend to First Elder’s will. Nobody who resisted him would end well, and Eleventh Elder was the best example!
Eleventh Elder refused to rob Cheng Biyuan’s resources and him and his family were banished out of Capital City. Assassins were sent after him and tens of his family members were murdered with just three of them remaining.
It seemed that incidents like this had happened over and over again over the last tens of years and all because of First Elder.
All the other big clans had members in the tens of thousands, but the Cheng’s were still only at several hundreds, most of them servants. As far as the Cheng’s disciples went, there were just tens of them. At this rate, what would happen to the Cheng’s at the very end…
Thinking of that, the few elders who had sided with First Elder shuddered. If First Elder was the mastermind, then they were his accomplices. They had helped him destroy their own clan!
Elder was obviously not done yet. He pointed at First Elder and carried on. “Just see for yourself. It has been tens of years, most of the Cheng’s were dead. We barely have a few fertile generations. All of them died mysteriously. And, after tens of years, instead of growing bigger and stronger, the Cheng’s had become smaller and weaker. Go and take a look at the other clans. Compare us to them. Which other clans ended up like us? You all brought this about. Each and every single one of you. You were soft to others except when it came to your own family, which you were ruthless toward. D*mn you all!”
“…..”
His heartfelt scream once again made these Cheng’s members felt so ashamed of themselves that their heads were almost on the ground. They all had a hand in this!
They didn’t feel anything before. But now that they were all called out by someone, anyone who still has a shred of humanity left in them would want to die from shame.
Of course, one of them were very calm, with not one shred of shame; as though everything was just the way they should be. And this, of course, was First Elder.
That was expected from the culprit of all this. The most unexpected look was from Cheng Yutang. Whether it was guilt or shame, he was staring straightly at Cheng Biyuan, his eyes filled with hatred.
His hatred was also bizarre.
Cheng Xiao Xiao was the only one who could understand. She thought of a saying – the more you love, the more you hate.
He had treated his son like the best thing in his life and then he discovered that his son wasn’t his son after all. All of his love from him and turned into hatred overnight!
In additional to the hate he had for her father, he probably projected his hate for her grandmother also onto him. Which would explain why he looked like he wanted to rip Cheng Biyuan into pieces.
That being said, a person who couldn’t tell right from wrong like him deserved no compassion!
“Say, old man. Don’t you think you should tell the truth now?” said Cheng Xiao Xiao.
Everybody knew that she was talking to First Elder now.
“You little rascal, who do you think you are? You think you are above everyone and that you can control our Cheng’s? I suggest you to leave right now, or else…”
