Chapter 953 Do Your Best To Earn Forgiveness
While Ancestor Dian Alstreim was hesitating, Grand Elder Valdrey Alstreim widened his eyes in shock.
His face scrunched up in hesitation.
His daughter was sharp, even in her weakened state. She noticed that Ancestor Dian Alstreim was closing in on them for taking responsibility for their misuse of authority, past manipulations of civil laws and wrongs, but due to the lack of evidence, it remained difficult to sentence them.
That’s why the Ancestor took the initiative to have them confess to lessen her sentence. This way, every single one of them other than Nora Alstreim and Patriarch Eldric Alstreim would be imprisoned.
However, what he felt hesitation wasn’t for this... He felt hesitant about whether to allow her to do this or not.
Was it worth it sacrifice his daughter’s social life and status to absolve him of his crimes? Absolutely not!
But the problem remained that no matter how they echoed, Ancestor Dian Alstreim wouldn’t change his mind to announce Elise Alstreim’s achievement due to the importance of the Water-Attributed Peak-Level Spirit Stone Vein Source. Even he knew that the consequences would be dire if information about this were to ever spread.
Ancestor Dian Alstreim narrowed his eyes, "So you do accept that you have erred in the past."
Grand Elder Elise Alstreim chuckled, "Hehe... I was blind and foolish enough to make the first mistake of my life. Now that I have seen that... that Young Master’s character, for who he truly is... I don’t want to involve myself with him ever again."
"You have made a sensible decision to cut off the bad apple, but what about Nora Alstreim then? Hasn’t she erred as well?"
"Me?" Nora Alstreim became taken aback as she heard the Ancestor name her suddenly, and seeing that she was really in focus, she exclaimed.
"I didn’t do anything!"The initial posting of this chapter occurred via noovelllbbin
"Don’t feign ignorance..." Ancestor Dian Alstreim creased his brows in disappointment.
Ancestor Dian Alstreim left, but before he left, he did not forget to leave a sentence that might help them make a better decision in the upcoming future.
"Perhaps, the day of reckoning will come soon... At that time, one should give their best to earn forgiveness."
This time, all of them were stunned without a sliver of difference in their expressions. They all looked at each other, wondering whose forgiveness they should earn.
Clearly, it was not the Ancestor as they had already exchanged oaths.
A few seconds passed in silence before a voice finally echoed.
"In any case, looks like I don’t need to beg the Conferred Queen for a bit of nectar anymore." Grand Elder Valdrey Alstreim sighed in relief. However, he looked at his daughter and reprimanded her.
"Elise, I’ll try to procure resources for you to improve your Body Tempering Cultivation. So, as soon as you are healed after consuming the Crimson Heart Blood Pill, you must start training your Body Tempering Cultivation and reach the Martial Master Stage! This way, you will completely recover your health in a decade!"
"Hehem... Not only your health but also your beauty..."
Grand Elder Elise Alstreim’s expression didn’t have a change of expression, but she instantly nodded her head when she heard the last sentence, causing all of them to laugh lightly.
However, a voice suddenly echoed.
"Did Ancestor mention about me just a while ago?" Nora Alstreim narrowed her brows as she felt confused and wronged.
"Perhaps we’re reading too much into this..." Grand Elder Valdrey Alstreim stopped laughing and shook his head, "The Ancestor looked above as he spoke, so I believe that he spoke about the Calamity Light that is hanging over our heads..."
"I think so too..." Patriarch Eldric Alstreim nodded his head in agreement.
However, Nora Alstreim felt that something was strange with the Ancestor. It was almost as if the Ancestor was warning them out of kindness and good intentions.
It was just that... What kind of offense did she commit? She couldn’t remember as far as she could recall!
