Chapter 836: Chapter 273: “Do You Know What Dragon Dad Is?”_2

He would bite anyone he could.

After all, he was just a major suspect at the moment, not really under suspicion.

“You’re talking nonsense!”

As soon as these words were spoken, the middle-aged man standing behind the Ling Pavilion Master angrily snarled, “You beast, don’t slander me! I’m already grateful that Father has appointed me as the Cave Master of Qintian Cave under the Ling Pavilion. I have never harbored any thoughts about the position of Pavilion Master.”

“Besides, everyone knows how much I love my brother. How could I possibly harm him?”

“Heh.”

The Ling Pavilion Master, who had originally just been suspicious, was now almost completely convinced; his gaze turned even colder as he looked at the Bai Family Patriarch, “Do you have any more fallacious defense before your death?”

His son had died, and he desperately wanted to kill someone, but he couldn’t just kill anyone.

Many of the powers here were partners of the Ling Pavilion, all entwined with it in countless ways. He must kill only with definitive evidence; otherwise, if he killed indiscriminately according to his whims, these partners would gradually distance themselves. No one wanted to establish deep relationships with someone who was unreasonable and too prone to losing control of their emotions, as it could easily backfire.

Moreover, there were some here whose backing was stronger than his, having ancestors who ascended to the Immortal Realm. He had imprisoned everyone here on the pretext of his son’s sudden death to clear things up, and these people would give him that much face. However, if he went on a killing spree, they would not indulge him.

When a person is in extreme pain, those around often give that person some face, even if it’s inviting them to something somewhat excessive. That’s also why he organized a funeral banquet while his son’s body was not yet cold and called everyone over. After all, if he had waited longer, many would not have been as cooperative.

The surrounding crowd shook their heads helplessly upon seeing this. The Bai Family Patriarch was acting too hastily, and this frenzied biting behavior was a clear sign of guilt. It looked like the real face of Young Master Ling was indeed revealed by the Bai Family Patriarch.

A person who is usually amiable and likes to give gifts everywhere, turned out to be quite ruthless in his actions.

The Bai Family Patriarch was actually quite clever, famous for giving gifts. Many here had received substantial gifts from him.

…

“Is that so?”

The Bai Family Patriarch stood up calmly, took out a Sound Recording Stone from his bosom, and after crushing it, a voice soon echoed through the entire banquet.

“Old Bai, we’re both clever people, so I’ll just speak frankly. Father asked me to purchase a batch of ‘Illusion Stones’. Your Qi Tian Continent is well-known for them, both in quality and quantity. But… another Third Grade Continent, the Jiangbei Continent, also produces these Illusion Stones. How should I choose…”

“Twenty percent is too little, make it thirty percent.”

“Even though you’re now working with my younger brother, I’m treating you as a confidant today and sharing some heartfelt thoughts with you. The final position of Pavilion Master will surely not end up with my incompetent brother. I can’t say more, but I can tell you that if I wanted to take him down, I could do it any time. Don’t believe me? One day, I’ll show you.”

“Only if you give me the Spirit Stone, will you be able to live more comfortably in the future.”

“…”

The recording from the Sound Stone suddenly made everyone’s expression turn strange. It was not unusual for such things to happen in a large family, but it was strange that it was recorded.

“You son of a bitch!”

It was only now that the middle-aged man standing behind the Ling Pavilion Master, in a fit of embarrassed rage, retorted, “You’re full of shit! Everyone knows a Sound Recording Stone can be faked. If you’re so capable, bring out the Memory Stone!”

“There’s also a Memory Stone.”

The Bai Family Patriarch silently took out another Memory Stone from his chest.

In the video, the broken middle-aged man was meaningfully demanding kickbacks, trying to win the Bai Family Patriarch over to his side and boost his own strength in the competition for Pavilion Master.

“You… You have the guts to show a Memory Stone with Divine Sense!”

“There’s one with Divine Sense, too.”

The Bai Family Patriarch nodded silently, and as he was about to crush another Memory Stone, a cold voice suddenly rang out.

“Enough!”

The Ling Pavilion Master looked at the Bai Family Patriarch with an ugly expression and waved a hand to stop him from crushing the Memory Stone in his hand, “Even if this Memory Stone is authentic, it only proves my unworthy son took a kickback from you. It’s not enough to justify killing Ling Shiqi for a mere kickback.”

“Oh.”

The Bai Family Patriarch also seemed to have nothing left to lose today as he pointed again towards an enchanting woman standing behind the Ling Pavilion Master, “Or perhaps it was your concubine who killed Ling Shiqi.”

“Here.”

He crushed another Sound Recording Stone.

“My lady, guess what would happen if I told my father about our sordid affair. Would Father kill me or you?”

“If you refuse me today, tomorrow I could leave you with no bones left.”

“This is a Sound Recording Stone where Ling Shiqi is coercing your concubine into bed. Doesn’t your concubine have a sufficient motive? It’s normal for someone who has been under threat for a long time to naturally want to eliminate that threat, right? Especially since your concubine is from the Phoenix Clan of the Vast Continent, the Phoenix Clan has its own special methods. Passing a genuine Memory Stone isn’t difficult and can be done quickly.”

“…”

The Ling Pavilion Master’s expression darkened again as he looked back at the enchanting woman behind him, who, filled with fear, knelt down on the spot.

“Master… Master, it was Seventeen who forced me; I had no choice!”
