บท 11: Slip of the Hand
บรรณาธิการ: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Yun Qingyan told her grandfather everything that happened at the battling platform in full detail.
This was clearly not the first time Su An was hearing this story, but after hearing the culprit recount what happened, the fury within him started spewing out like a volcano eruption and it nearly set him on fire. That murderous gaze he had looked like he couldn't wait to swallow Yun Qingyan whole.
Yun Qingyan thought that Grand Master Yun would at least frown and blame her for being too cruel, or he would give her a good dressing down.
But Grand Master Yun burst out laughing loudly instead. "You are my granddaughter indeed! Good job!"
Yun Qingyan was speechless.
Su An started shaking from his anger. "If my daughter lost in a fight to Yun Qingyan, my family would readily admit defeat! But why did Miss Yun have to taint my daughter's reputation? My family is a longstanding aristocratic family and we will not tolerate such a matter! The Yun family must have a good explanation for this!"
Grand Master Yun looked towards Yun Qingyan.
In her previous life, Yun Qingyan's expression wouldn't even flinch even when Godly Sovereigns and Godly Emperors were coming after her life. But now, she felt cornered even though she was in front of someone extremely close to her. She rubbed her nose and said, "It was a slip of the hand."
"Su Ling beat the previous owner of this body to death, beating the clothes off Su Ling was letting her off lightly." Yun Qingyan thought to herself. Of course, she couldn't say this out loud. After all, 'Yun Qingyan' was still alive and kicking in front of everyone here.
"Slip of the hand?!" Su An roared angrily. He clasped his hands tightly together and said sarcastically, "So this is how the Yun family has decided to wriggle out of this one?"
"Slip of the hand? What sort of lousy coincidence was this? There was someone who had his eye on Su Ling!" Su An angrily thought to himself.
If not for this incident, as long as that person continued to favor Su Ling, then she could become the empress. Then the Su family would be able to get out of this dreadful place and return to enjoying the glory that their family deserved in the first place.
But because of what Yun Qingyan did, everything was ruined. That person would never accept a woman who had been exposed in public like that to be his empress.
Su An really wished he could strangle Yun Qingyan to death right now.
When Grand Master Yun noticed Su An glaring murderously at Yun Qingyan, he immediately stood in front of his granddaughter and raised his voice in an overpowering manner, "My dearest Yan said that it was a slip of the hand, so that's what it was! What's wrong with that reason? Your family let a Third Stage Elementalist challenge my Qingyan, and you think that's reasonable?"
Su An replied coldly, "Yun Qingyan accepted the challenge herself. Nobody forced her to. Tianyuan Continent has no laws to say that Elementalists aren't allowed to challenge ordinary folks."
Yun Qingyan and everyone else in the room was completely stunned by how shameless Su An was being.
It was true that the Tianyuan Continent had no such ruling, but this was an implicit social rule that everyone stuck to by default.
Otherwise, if Elementalists could attack ordinary people who were not cultivators, then the world would be a complete mess.
"The Tianyuan Continent doesn't have any laws to say that you can't tear the clothes off your opponent in a battle either." Grand Master Yun retorted in the same way to Su An.
Su An's expression looked like he just ate a mouthful of feathers. He wanted to continue arguing with Grand Master Yun. "But…"
"There are no buts!" Grand Master Yun immediately shouted and stretched his palm out.
A gigantic palm created by the gathering of Elemental Power came down from above to catch hold of Su An, and Su An's expression instantly changed.
"Yun Tian, what are you trying to do?" Su An was so surprised that he had even forgotten about using the correct form of addressing Grand Master Yun.
"I'm throwing you out of course." Grand Master Yun scoffed coldly as he used that large palm to grab Su An and flung him right out of his home.
Su An drew a perfect parabola in the air.
"Yun Tian, you…!" The rest of his voice was covered by the clouds in the sky.
"How long was Su An going to fly for?" Yun Qingyan looked up at the sky and wondered to herself.
But she had put too much thought into it.
After a few moments, there was a weird cry coming from the capital city…
