Rise of the Great Emperor

Chapter 64: Responsibility?

"It’s as you can see," Lin Xiao started even before Su Hei could start. "These two come to bother me in my house and attack my brother, so I retaliate and teach them a lesson."

"Lies! You’re the one who wants to kill us when we come over to tell you about the competition that the representatives will hold."

"Competition?" Lin Xiao sneered. "I don’t know anything about the competition!"

"You’re lying!"

"I’m not!"

The two elders at the back chose not to participate in the youngster’s debate and chose to stay behind. Only Elder Su’s face was still as dark as coal. It was clear that he was thoroughly angry because of what had happened. If only they were not in front of the other elders, he would have lunged and kill Lin Xiao.

Of course, it was only if he could.

The three elders were only at the same rank as Su Hei. With Su Hei already wounded, Lin Xiao was confident that at the very least, he could run.

Trying to catch him here?

They would be seeking trouble.

"You bastard! You purposely kill my son and now you want to shriek away from responsibility?"

Lin Xiao looked at Elder Su with dark face. "Kill him? Do you see me with your own dog eyes that I kill him? He clearly falls off the cliff on his own when I’m still far away! You don’t want to believe me? I’m not the only one who see him fall with my own eyes!"

Behind them, across the cliff, there were already several villagers standing there. They were stunned and then looked at each other. What Lin Xiao said was correct. When Su Han fell into the cliff, Lin Xiao was located far away from him.

Unless Lin Xiao had reached Golden Core Stage and could attack from a distance away, it was impossible for him to be the one to kill Su Han.

And accusing Lin Xiao had reached Golden Core Stage? They would rather believe that the three sects launched an attack at their village rather than believing that Lin Xiao had reached Golden Core Stage at his young age.

However, they also didn’t dare to speak.

They didn’t want to offend the elder.

"What? Do you really think that they will speak for you?" Elder Su asked in rage. His body was boiling with Qi.

Lin Xiao narrowed his eyes. "Do you really think that I couldn’t get away from you, Elder Su? If tomorrow Red Village come here, don’t blame me for being ruthless."

Red Village!

Their Village was not the only one living in this area. While Red Village was located quite a distance away, they could reach that place in just a day’s time. If Lin Xiao informed the Red Village about the appearance of the sect’s representative, it wouldn’t be a surprise if they came here and asked the representative to take them in too.

Elder Su flared, "You dare?!"

"Try me."

By this time, Lin Xiao no longer looked like the usual playful youth. His eyes were filled with rage and determination. He never had any attachment to this village as no one truly cared for him. Only a few of them treated him normally while the rest would rather make things difficult for him.

Why should he feel bad for them?

"You ungrateful bastard. You...."

"Stop it, Elder Su." Elder Xu stepped forward and stopped Elder Su from attacking the young child. He looked at Lin Xiao with meaningful gaze. "You have seen for yourself that Su Han boy fall down on his own. Lin Xiao is far away from him."

"Elder Xu!" Su Hei was shocked. Why did this elder chose to side with Lin Xiao at this time?

"He must be tampering the tree!"

"Did you see me do that?" Lin Xiao asked with a sneer. "I’m the one who use the tree the most. If I’m tampering it, are you saying that I’m purposely trying to make myself fall to the cliff?"

Elder Su was stunned. Now that he thought about it, what Lin Xiao said was correct. if Lin Xiao truly tampered the hanging roots, it meant that he was trying to kill himself. After all, the one who used the hanging roots the most was Lin Xiao.

"You’re lying! You must have tampered all of them!"

"Idiot!" Lin Xiao spat out and refused to talk with Su Hei again. Since when did this hunting squad leader turn stupid?

He felt that his intelligence would be insulted if he stayed and argued with Su Hei any longer.

If Lin Yun or Wenren Yu knew what he was thinking, they would surely say:

’You’re already stupid.’

"You!"

"What? Still wants to make me guilty? Don’t blame me for abandoning the village if you continued with your nonsense." Lin Xiao’s expression was cold and unfeeling. If one didn’t know better, they would think that it was Lin Xiao’s usual face. He looked scary and domineering at this very moment.

Elder Su was stunned. He still wanted to convict Lin Xiao guilty for what he had done, but the villagers here were already restless. They were staring at both Elder Xu and Elder Su, trying to figure out what these two elders wanted.

Should they side with Elder Su?

Or should they side with Elder Xu?

Their mind was in chaos as no one knew what they should do anymore. It was rare for the two elders to show different opinion.

"We’ll talk about this later." Elder Su finally relented. However, his body was still trembling in anger.

On the other hand, Lin Xiao acted as if he didn’t care and only walked away. Behind him, Lin Yun followed without bothering to look at the elders and the villagers there. Their rude attitude would make people itch to give them a beating, but at this time, no one dared to move.
