Chapter 4 Family Trial

Chapter 4 Family Trial
In fact, the Leng family where Leng Xiyao's predecessor came from was not a small family. On the contrary, it was a huge family that could be ranked among the top five in the entire Wuhun City and was well-known throughout the continent. In terms of foundation, it was much stronger than the above three sects.

The current generation of the Leng family includes five elders who are Titled Douluo, and the head of the family is a quasi-Super Douluo at level ninety-six. What's even more terrifying is that the Leng family also has an ancestor who serves as a worshiper in the Elder Hall, with the title of Jibing, who is a Super Douluo at level ninety-seven.

Among the second generation disciples, Leng Xiyao's father Leng Mingzhe is the eldest son of the family. He has five legitimate brothers and sisters. The second oldest is his good uncle, Leng Mingxuan, who robbed all of her father's assets.

Logically speaking, the current head of the family, Mr. Leng Hongde, would not sit idly by and watch this kind of attempt to seize the brothers' assets, but the problem is that a total of three people died in the battle that helped the current Pope hunt the 100,000-year-old soft-bone rabbit. Two of them were Leng Xiyao's parents.

How could a powerful Soul Saint or Soul Emperor be so easy to kill? Wouldn't they run away if their lives were in danger? But the fact was that only the two of them died in the battle. Even the Pope was surprised. After all, it was just a sneak attack. They killed and ran away. There was no large-scale battle at all. The mother rabbit counterattacked before dying and took away these three people. As a result, it happened that they were Leng Xiyao's parents.
In this era where feudal ethics are very serious, it can basically be concluded that it was Leng Xiyao's appearance that caused the death of her parents!
The most important thing is that Leng Xiyao is a girl. If she were a boy, she might still be worth cultivating, but for a girl who killed her parents, leaving her to fend for herself is the best outcome.

Although the original decadent concept of male superiority and female inferiority was completely eliminated after the new Pope came to power, that was only limited to the common people. In large families, the mainstream idea was that women should take care of their husbands and children and take the blame for everything. Therefore, Leng Xiyao, who was only three years old at the time, naturally had to take the blame for this matter that had nothing to do with her.

Well, that is to say, if Leng Xiyao was not a girl, the one who had to bear the old man’s wrath and take the blame might have been an aunt.

And now, Leng Xiyao was kneeling on the hard bluestone slabs of the family ancestral hall, with her head lowered, not daring to look up at Old Man Leng beside her.

In front of her was the spirit tablet of her parents.

Behind her, a row of Leng family's direct relatives were standing in silence, and no one showed a gloating expression on their face. The death of Leng Xiyao's father was undoubtedly a huge loss to the family. For people like them, strength is the best sign.

Father Leng is just over thirty years old, but his strength is already close to that of a Soul Douluo. It is almost certain that he will become a Titled Douluo in the future, and he will also become the guardian of the next generation of the entire family.

Everyone needs an older brother to support their younger brothers and sisters so that they can maintain their previous affluent life and avoid being eroded by other families.

Unfortunately, he died.

Therefore, these people need someone to take the blame. Whether from the perspective of family affection or interests, they need someone to be exiled to appease the public anger.

As for how old this person is, what level of soul power he has, and whether he will die after being exiled, these are not within their consideration at all.

What's more, isn't it reasonable to say that one's parents are killed?
Old Master Leng looked at his son's spirit tablet, his face showing no emotion. He suddenly said, "Xiyao, I didn't exile you out of consideration for your parents' sake. I just let your second uncle take over your family business, which is why I let you live for the past three years. But now look at what martial spirit you have activated. I was too merciful back then."

Leng Xiyao still kept her head down and said nothing.

She knew this family too well, so she had been hiding, even hiding from all members of the Spirit Hall, because she didn't want to have anything to do with these people. But now that she was forcibly captured, she knew very well what this group of people wanted to do.

She really wanted to say, the girl you mentioned, your granddaughter, died within a few days after being kicked out of the family. Does your so-called mercy mean freezing a three-year-old girl to death within a week?
But she did not refute. For such a corrupt family, any truth would be a pale and powerless sophistry in front of them. The superiors would only firmly believe in what they believed, and right and wrong did not matter at all.

Therefore, she simply waited for these people to announce the result. She would not die anyway, and the big family had to save face. Therefore, the cruelest punishment for direct line members was just exile to a certain place. Direct execution was really unsightly.

Of course, exile and execution are not much different, except that the former means dying in a desperate environment. In comparison, direct execution is relatively peaceful.

As if he had thought of something, Old Master Leng suddenly shouted angrily: "In our Leng family, the martial spirits of generations have all been of ice attribute, but look at your martial spirit. Is there a trace of ice attribute in it?"

Leng Xiyao really had no way to refute this. She hadn't noticed anything when she activated her martial spirit before, but now it seemed that these people had been watching them from the side for a long time. If her talent could reach the level of her cheap father, it would be fine. In the future, she could just treat it as if nothing had happened and take the child back to continue training. After all, a six-year-old kid wouldn't remember anything when he grows up.

But now she only has the first level of innate soul power, plus a martial soul that has nothing to do with her family. After all, the Zerg is a race that tends to be dark and evil, so the accusation of killing her parents seems more reasonable.

Hearing what Old Man Leng said, a middle-aged man walked out from the team behind Leng Xiyao and said righteously, "Dad, this little evil star must not be allowed to stay in Wuhun City. I suggest that she be expelled immediately to serve as a warning to others!"

Leng Xiyao knew without looking back that this man was her second uncle, the man who ruthlessly threw her original body onto the street three years ago. Even now, that scene seemed to be engraved in her soul, making her feel the same way and unable to help but feel hatred.

But no one would care what a sinner was thinking. Not only the adults, but even the third-generation disciples who were about ten years old followed his words and echoed: "Second uncle is right, we must exile her, otherwise our Leng family will be laughed at by all the families for having such a freak!"

"Yes! Exile her! Avenge my brother!"

"Bitch! You don't deserve to die!"

Among the excited crowd, there was a little girl who was about eight or nine years old who was watching the scene in silence. She did not join the crowd in criticizing the poor little girl kneeling on the ground. She just watched quietly, as if she wanted to remember this scene in her heart. Her young face had a steadiness that far exceeded her age, giving people a feeling that she was extremely scheming.

If you want to add a crime, why don't you have any trouble?
Being insulted by everyone like this, Leng Xiyao suddenly felt a sense of sadness in her heart, as if the whole world was against her, but she clearly did nothing but activate a martial soul.

At this moment, she really hoped that her original body was the incarnation of some evil star, who would kill this family of people who were worse than pigs and dogs!

After everyone cursed for a while, Mr. Leng put his hands together to quiet the scene again. He then glanced at Leng Xiyao, who was kneeling on the ground with her head down and her body trembling slightly, and announced without any emotion:

"Since Leng Xiyao betrayed her family and secretly learned evil techniques, which caused her activated martial arts soul to mutate, we have decided to expel her from the Martial Soul City! She will never be allowed to enter again!"

"Today, execute immediately!"

Upon hearing this result, everyone immediately smiled with satisfaction, as if they felt that they had done something extremely just.

As for whether the girl is dead or alive, who cares?
