Chapter 102: Smearing Luoxia, Part 1

Before anyone could react, Wang You flew away. He had appeared suddenly and vanished just as abruptly.

Qi Zifan excitedly asked, “Ancestor Luo, is that man really Master Wu Yuming’s favored disciple?”

The prince’s shadow guards also expressed their envy. “Master Wu Yuming—what an immensely powerful figure.”

Ancestor Luo was feeling frustrated. But on second thought, Master Wu Yuming was such a formidable expert; his disciple would surely be compassionate like him and would never aid in seizing treasures.

“True or false, the fact remains he saved you all. If fate allows you to meet him again, make sure to maintain good relations!” Ancestor Luo’s calm words deepened everyone’s reverence for Wang You. Who wouldn’t want a master as powerful as a god?

At that moment, the prince woke up. “Where’s the treasure? Where’s the treasure?”

Ancestor Luo glanced at him coldly. “Just being able to survive is already a blessing; you still want the treasure?”

If they could catch up with those people, Ancestor Luo planned to claim the treasure himself. After all, he had done the most, saving everyone’s lives. Without him, they would have perished long ago.

Ancestor Luo was scheming inwardly when unexpectedly, Luo Yi’s words infuriated him to no end.

“Grandfather, the treasure is with Third Sister!”

Luo Yi’s statement immediately drew everyone’s attention.

Ancestor Luo was furious. “Nonsense! Your Third Sister is in the Luo Mansion. How could she possibly have come to the Beast Forest? Is that even a place she could reach?”

Luo Yi knew her grandfather was angry. She shouldn’t have smeared Luo Xia, but seeing this as a chance to strike back at her, how could she let it pass?

“Grandfather, I was meditating earlier, but I vaguely saw Third Sister. If I’m not mistaken, she must have been taken to the Beast Forest by a powerful figure.”

Ancestor Luo’s anger deepened. That Luo Yi—couldn’t she wait until there were fewer people before saying such things? If the treasure really was with Luo Xia, then he wouldn’t have to fight for it; it would naturally belong to her!

Ancestor Luo was about to explode when Luo Yi continued, “I even met Third Sister once. I urged her to join us, but she refused. The reason I’m in such a sorry state now is because of her. Without the help of that expert, how could someone with no spiritual power harm me?”

As she spoke, Luo Yi’s tears flowed, her pitiful expression stirring sympathy.

Everyone was stunned, then overjoyed. If the treasure truly was with Luo Xia, they wouldn’t have to worry about their share!

Who didn’t know Luo Xia was the family’s useless one? Who would take her seriously?

***

The only problem was, she was the nominal Princess Consort.

No one feared Luo Xia, but they all feared the Prince!

That Prince was like a devil, killing without a blink.

“Luo Yi, I think you’ve lost your mind. Don’t speak such nonsense again!” Ancestor Luo began to threaten her.

Luo Yi was defiant and looked toward Luo Mei.

Previously, just exchanging glances was enough to terrify Luo Xia.

Luo Mei knew the priority was to stand with Luo Yi. After all, the Prince favored her. Removing Luo Xia, the Princess Consort, would only benefit her—there was no downside!

“Grandfather, Eldest Sister is right. I also saw Third Sister. I suspect that person intends to deal with the Prince. Maybe he wants to embarrass the Prince.”

Luo Mei knew that saying this would make everyone imagine Luo Xia being defiled or worse, but she didn’t care. The urgent matter was to eliminate Luo Xia.
