Chapter 2324: Chapter 2324 Calamity Arises from Speech
“Why are you silent, Patriarch Liu? You sure handled this well, didn’t you? Managed to stay clean. Quite lucky, I must say.” The young Family Head continued when he noticed the silence.
Isn’t that right? According to the style of the Demon Heart Hall, if the Xun Family made a misstep, the Liu Family, being in-laws of the Xun Family Head, would surely get implicated, wouldn’t they?
But not only was the Liu Family not implicated, they even took Mrs. Xun back, and more so, raised the young masters of the Xun Family within the Liu Family.
He had long heard that Young Master Xun is now at the Liu Family.
“Aren’t you afraid that the High Priest Demon Heart will find out Young Master Xun is also at the Liu Family? Aren’t you afraid it will bring trouble to the Liu Family?” he asked with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Patriarch Liu once again glanced at the young Family Head, but similarly, just a glance before withdrawing his gaze.
This young Family Head really has a sharp tongue. We all live on Wulong Mountain; who here isn’t trying to survive under the shadow of the Demon Heart Hall?
If he hadn’t gotten the High Priest Demon Heart’s consent, could he have brought his nephew to the Liu Family?
“Master Hong, the troubles from the mouth, I hope you understand this principle.” He coldly reminded the young Family Head.
“What troubles from the mouth, you just don’t want to say, right?”
Master Hong also sneered, looking at Patriarch Liu with disdain.
He still remembered his mother telling him that his father once went to ask for the hand of Miss Liu. But in the end, Miss Liu took a liking to the Xun Family Head.
His mother used to say that Miss Liu was blind, not marrying the remarkable Master Hong but deciding on a two-hundred-pound fat man instead. Truly, her brain must have been fogged.
Moreover, at that time, the Xun Family Head was lacking in appearance and talent, virtually good for nothing, yet Miss Liu still favored him. It must have accumulated great virtue in a past life.
Furthermore, even back then, the Xun Family Head, while treading cautiously within his own family, was already keeping several small houses outside.
He simply couldn’t understand why the Liu Family, with someone like his father available, preferred the Xun Family Head.
Now, with the Xun Family wiped out, the only survivors seem to be Miss Liu and Young Master Xun. Is this karma? It should count, right?
“Speaking of the Xun Family, one wonders how exactly they offended the High Priest Demon Heart to be utterly wiped out.” He said quietly.
Listening to Master Hong’s seemingly casual yet clearly intentional words, Patriarch Liu also took a deep breath.
That fool from the Xun Family, truly foolish beyond measure, willing to believe anything and collaborate with anyone who reached out, trusting that nonsense about the Divine Envoy.
“Master Hong, some matters are better left alone. After all, not everything is for you to know. We all must guard our own necks carefully; who knows, you might lose your head after hearing something you shouldn’t?”
He sinisterly reminded Master Hong.
The affairs of the Demon Heart Hall and the High Priest are not something a minor Noble Clan Patriarch can inquire about.
If possible, he wouldn’t want to know how the Xun Family was destroyed; yet unfortunately, this matter did indeed involve the Liu Family. He had to protect his sister and nephew, what else could he do?
He knew from the moment the incident with the Xun Family unfolded, the Liu Family was etched into the thoughts of the High Priest Demon Heart.
