Clearing Yao Lao's Name

"Phew, back then..."

A dozen seconds passed after Xiao Yan had given him a minute, and Yao Wangui took a deep breath and finally spoke.

Xiao Yan hadn't had time to Yao Wangui, so the latter naturally didn't dare to delay any longer.

In a mere thirty seconds, Yao Wangui recounted in detail how Yao Lao had been framed and expelled from the Yao Clan.

As Yao Wangui uttered the last word, the entire square fell into complete silence.

Silence, absolute silence!

At this moment, the plaza of the Yao Clan seemed to have been frozen in time, with everyone staring at Yao Wangui in disbelief or dumbfounded.

The former were people from various major powers in the Central Plains who came to the Yao Clan to participate in the Medicine Ceremony, while the latter were members of the Yao Clan themselves.

"Crunch~"

On the other side, Yao Lao, whose memories were stirred by Yao Wangui's narration, now had bloodshot eyes, clenched hands, and even his breathing became somewhat rapid.

Because the truth about what happened back then, as described by Yao Wangui, was even more exaggerated than what he knew!

Originally, Yao Lao believed that he was framed and expelled from the Yao Clan by Yao Wangui, who instructed others to do so.

But who would have thought that there was no middleman at all, and that it was all Yao Wangui's doing!

Do you think the Yao Lao wouldn't be furious after learning the truth?

You should know that when he was framed and expelled from the Yao Clan, he hadn't even reached the Dou Wang realm yet.

What does this mean?

This is tantamount to a ruler of a country framing a primary school student!

Sure enough, after Yao Wangui finished describing the truth of what happened back then, everyone in the square was completely dumbfounded.

Even Xiao Yan almost couldn't resist breaking his promise and detonating the Seven-Colored Fire Lotus!

It turns out that when Yao Lao was only fourteen or fifteen years old, he participated in a small-scale alchemy competition within the Yao Clan.

After all, it's the Yao Clan. It's perfectly normal for them to have a mini-alchemy competition every three days, a small competition every five days, and a medium-sized competition every seven days.

As for Yao Lao, although the bloodline of the Yao Clan's Dou Emperor Bloodline is extremely thin, his talent is actually quite good.

Then, on one occasion, the Yao Lao participated in a clan's alchemy competition.

In that competition, Yao Lao emerged as a dark horse from among his peers and quickly became a favorite to win the championship.

Logically speaking, the alchemy competition that the fourteen or fifteen-year-old Yao Lao participated in should have been considered to be in the "elementary school group," and it shouldn't have attracted the attention of any Leadership members of the Yao Clan.

Furthermore, although Yao Lao 'Dou Emperor Bloodline is thin, after demonstrating remarkable talent Alchemist, he should receive some of the clan's resources and support as he grows.

Unfortunately, the Yao Lao's life had only just begun when he died...

Why do I say that?

Because, in that year's "elementary school group" medicine-making competition, there was one other person who participated.

That person is Yao Wangui's cousin!

Although it's unclear why Yao Wangui, a man half-buried in the ground, would have a cousin who is fourteen or fifteen years old, the question remains.

But it really is true.

Furthermore, Yao Wangui's cousin, Yao Feng, had been found to possess a remarkably strong Dou Emperor Bloodline the Yao Clan's Dou Di (Battle Emperor) since childhood.

Therefore, Yao Wangui also valued his cousin very much, and even thought about grooming him to be his successor in the future.

Therefore, Yao Wangui is already prepared to promote his younger cousin in this "elementary school group" medicine-making competition.

In fact, Yao Feng was originally the biggest favorite to win the "elementary school group" medicine-making competition!

But then, the unexpected hero Yao Lao, suddenly appeared.

Given Yao Wangui's level, he could easily see that his younger brother was most likely no match for Yao Lao.

But this was not the outcome he wanted.

He couldn't allow Yao Lao, a member of the Yao Clan with diluted Dou Emperor Bloodline, to ruin his plans!

Therefore, Yao Wangui secretly rigged the game in the subsequent matches.

Yao Wangui, a first-generation Dou Sheng, rigged this "elementary school group" medicine-making competition—who could possibly tell?

His trickery wasn't significant; he simply added a prohibited herb to the medicinal herbs the old Yao Lao brought, just as the Yao Lao was preparing to refine the medicine.

Then, it was discovered that Yao Lao was carrying banned drugs into the competition.

Naturally, the Yao Lao had no way to defend himself against this.

Yao Lao himself had a thin Dou Emperor Bloodline in the Yao Clan and no powerful backing within the clan. Now that this matter was discovered during the alchemy competition, he was naturally disqualified from the competition.

Moreover, to prevent this matter from being discovered later, Yao Wangui advocated severely punishing Yao Lao, euphemistically calling it "a warning to others!"

Yao Wangui was the highest authority in the Yao Clan's lineage of punishments, and since he had already reached a conclusion, no one else would refute him.

The only two people qualified to refute Yao Wangui were the clan leader Yao Dan and Yao Wanhuo.

But given their status, why would they interfere in this "elementary school level" medicine-making competition?

Therefore, Yao Lao was eventually expelled from the Yao Clan.

At this moment, after Yao Wangui, under the threat of Xiao Yan's Seven-Colored Fire Lotus, revealed the truth about why Yao Lao was expelled from the Yao Clan, everyone was speechless.

In any case, when people from various powerful forces in Central Plains looked at Yao Wangui, they all looked at him with contempt.

People can be so shameless; they never even dared to imagine it before.

As the third-in-command of the prestigious Yao Clan, how could he personally frame a clansman who wasn't even at the Dou Wang realm? Is he even human?

In fact, in the early stages of expelling Yao Lao from the Yao Clan, they even sent people to try and silence Yao Lao!

This truly embodies the word "shameless" to the fullest extent.

As for the members of the Yao Clan, after hearing Yao Wangui's account of the truth of what happened back then, their faces were all flushed red, clearly ashamed.

Many members of the Yao Clan actually knew that after Yao Wangui took control of the Punishment lineage, he did a lot of outrageous things.

But Yao Wangui a high position of power, so many of them turned a blind eye.

Only today, upon hearing this news, did they realize that what Yao Wangui had done had crossed a moral line!

Even many members of the Yao Clan who were previously close to Yao Wangui wish they could sever all ties with him permanently!

After all, Yao Wangui is practically a pile of shit right now; who wants to get involved with him?

"Huff, huff, huff~"

As for the other party involved in Yao Wangui's description - Yao Lao, he finally suppressed the surging anger in his heart after taking several deep breaths.

"Heh, so this is the real reason I was expelled from the Yao Clan back then? How ironic! A dignified Dou Sheng Elder of the Yao Clan would actually frame an insignificant nobody like me?"

Yao Wangui, you've truly opened my eyes!

The Yao Lao's voice contained both anger and sorrow.

Fortunately, today, his wrongful conviction from back then has finally been vindicated!
