Half of the great tree came crashing down, of course drawing all the members of the Dongfang Household over. Dongfang Yu's several uncles stared at the scene, their eyes reddening with rage. The moment they saw me and Dongfang Yu here, the third uncle, whose age was second only to Dongfang Nian's, stepped forward and pointed at Dongfang Yu with a trembling hand. "You! You, you, you little brat! Look at the mess you've made!"
Dongfang Yu's face turned green. He glared at me, looking as if to say, How am I supposed to fix this?
I hurriedly said, "Alliance Master Dongfang, you need to understand the severity of the situation. I bear two contracts, and I really did leave Fangtian Tree with plenty of life force. I haven't violated the contract. Otherwise, I would've already been blasted to ash by a bolt of lightning. So shouldn't you be the one to cover for this matter? If I take responsibility, can the contract still be completed?"
"Damn it, Alliance Master Xia, you've really ruined me this time! My uncles might believe that, but do you think my father will?" Dongfang Yu said after hearing me, his expression shifting between dark and light.
"When faced with two evils, choose the lesser. Your father has gone to Cloudfloat Summit, and the Grand Array is only a few days away from activation. Are you planning to throw away all our efforts now? None of us expected this to happen. Someone has to take responsibility, doesn't he?" I transmitted secretly.
"Several uncles! Please hear me out!" Dongfang Nian hurriedly raised his voice to soothe his uncles and the many members of the direct line who were in the Tribulation Transcendence stage.
"Brother Yu, what exactly did you do? Why did half the tree fall?"
