Chapter 863: Chapter 860: Scapegoat Tang San_1
Everyone saw how suddenly demure Ning Rongrong became in front of Xu Ran and couldn't help but cover their mouths with delicate laughter.
In this family, only Xu Ran could tame such an unruly girl.
Although their strengths were strong, they felt no pressure facing Ning Rongrong, a support Soul Master. But now that they were family, even if they were taken advantage of by Ning Rongrong, they couldn't really act against her.
"What's so funny?"
"And you, Zhu Qing, you run off to your room first every time Xu Ran comes back. We're dying of jealousy here, and you're laughing at me?" Ning Rongrong looked somewhat sourly at Zhu Zhuqing. Although she and Zhu Zhuqing were close sisters, she couldn't help feeling a touch of jealousy over Zhu Zhuqing being the favorite of Xu Ran.
Who told Zhu Qing to have a better figure than hers?
Even though these days, her own figure had developed quite nicely, it still wasn't quite on par with Zhu Qing's.
Moreover, Xu Ran was now surrounded by so many beauties, each of whom was stunning enough to overwhelm nations. Even Zhu Qing sometimes seemed a little less radiant in comparison. But Xu Ran still favored Zhu Qing more, who else could it be but Zhu Qing who came from the same clan as Xu Ran?
Zhu Qing was the first to be with Xu Ran, so naturally, her status was a bit different.
All the women turned their eyes towards Zhu Zhuqing, some with envy.
They envied Zhu Zhuqing for having met Xu Ran when he was still unestablished and even being engaged to him. Even though they were all women of Xu Ran, a simple truth remained—the first one is always the most memorable. Some things are most delicious at the first bite, and the flavor fades with each subsequent one.
"Rongrong, what nonsense are you talking about? Why bring me up all of a sudden?" Zhu Zhuqing said reproachfully, giving Ning Rongrong a glance.
"It's true," Ning Rongrong mumbled.
"Alright. You all need to be diligent in your cultivation. Many of you have inherited godhood, and you can't be as lazy as before. I can't help you on the path to godhood. But I believe with your talents, there won't be any major problems," said Xu Ran with a faint smile as he scanned the room.
All the women were stunning beauties capable of toppling nations and states with their unrivaled charms.
With the women gathered together, it was like a sea of blooming flowers vying for beauty.
If outsiders were to witness this scene, they would probably die of envy.
Nearly all the breathtaking beauties of the entire Continent could be found here. Just one taken out could cause a sensation.
Most importantly, many of them were Inheritors of godhood, destined to become exalted goddesses in the future.
How could outsiders not envy this?
On the Continent, there were already many rumors about Xu Ran's romantic escapades. Surrounded by so many beauties, Xu Ran still had an excellent reputation on the Continent. Even many didn't hold a hint of jealousy towards him; instead, they harbored deep admiration.
Xu Ran's strength was tremendous, and it was normal for him to have a bevy of beauties by his side.
To have these things, they also needed to become invincible powerhouses.
This also became a means to motivate the contemporary youth to exert themselves in cultivation.
"The rest of you will also be able to become gods in the future; I won't abandon any one of you," Xu Ran promised.
Upon hearing this, the women were all lost in a daze.
Only Xu Ran would dare to make such a bold statement.
Godhood was so mysterious, yet Xu Ran said he could help all of them achieve it.
They had absolute faith in Xu Ran's words.
Poseissi, little white, and the others were also somewhat taken aback listening to Xu Ran's words.
They already knew that many of the women around Xu Ran had inherited godhood, and without accidents, they were bound to become gods in the future.
...
After the gathering, the women left, and Xu Ran kept Tang Yuehua behind.
Ever since the Hao Tian Clan was destroyed, Tang Yuehua's complexion had never been good.
At this moment, Tang Yuehua was wearing a moon-white dress, exuding a noble temperament, just like a fairy from the moon palace, graceful and elegant. However, her slightly pale face and somewhat thinner figure revealed her current mood.
Seeing Tang Yuehua become like this, Xu Ran felt somewhat distressed.
But the Hao Tian Clan, it was destined to be destroyed by him.
Wildfire cannot burn it out, the spring breeze blows and it grows again.
The Sect Master of Hao Tian Sect, Tang Xiao, still harbored those thoughts towards his Lan'er, and even wanted to kill him. It wouldn't be excessive to kill such a person.
"Don't be sad," Xu Ran gently embraced Tang Yuehua's delicate waist, comforting her.
"Xu Ran, do you know who is the one who destroyed my Hao Tian Clan?" Tang Yuehua's beautiful eyes lifted, looking at Xu Ran.
The man before her had changed her life, whom she regarded as the most important person in her life.
But was it Xu Ran who destroyed her Hao Tian Clan?
Tang Yuehua's heart ached.
These days, she had been very anxious.
She feared that the nemesis who annihilated her clan was this man closest to her.
Although she trusted Xu Ran, how many people in the entire world could easily destroy the Hao Tian Clan?
Even the Martial Soul Hall would find it impossible to destroy the Hao Tian Clan in a short time. The Hao Tian Clan's accumulated foundation over so many years was something not even the Martial Soul Hall could easily destroy.
And yet, the Hao Tian Clan was obliterated in just one day.
Even less than a day, then the number one sect on the Continent just vanished.
Bodies were strewn everywhere, and blood flowed like rivers.
"Are you suspecting me?" Xu Ran held up Tang Yuehua's exceptionally beautiful face, feeling a bit heartbroken. If he had known Tang Yuehua would be so sad, he might have spared the Hao Tian Clan. But now it was too late to say anything. As things stood, as long as the truth was not discovered by them, this incident would always be believed to be Tang San's doing.
"No. I just think that the person who could destroy the Hao Tian Clan must be very strong. On the Soul Land, there seems to be only..." Tang Yuehua couldn't finish her sentence. She tried to believe in Xu Ran, but her rationality told her that person could very well be Xu Ran.
She had not been talented since she was young, not valued in the Hao Tian Clan, and even subjected to much disdain and mocking.
Although she was very sad about the destruction of the Hao Tian Clan, it wasn't enough to leave her completely distraught.
But if it were Xu Ran...
"It wasn't me," Xu Ran stated categorically. Needless to say, this kind of thing must never be admitted, even upon death.
"I believe you." Tang Yuehua's somewhat pale face regained some color, and her mood improved significantly.
If Xu Ran said it wasn't him, then it most definitely wasn't Xu Ran.
She believed Xu Ran.
"The one who destroyed the Hao Tian Clan was Tang San," Xu Ran said, gently stroking Tang Yuehua's long hair.
"Tang San?" Tang Yuehua's delicate body shivered.
"Tang San is the son of your second brother, Tang Hao," Xu Ran continued.
"The child of my second brother? But why would he do such a thing? Where is my second brother?" Tang Yuehua looked at Xu Ran in panic, somewhat incredulous.
"Your second brother was killed by Tang San," Xu Ran pursed his lips. He directly passed the blame to Tang San. Anyway, Tang San already had enough blame on his shoulders, carrying one more would not be a big problem. Tang San was the scapegoat.
