Without giving anything away, xiao replied: " Of course, I'm happy that he came back alive, after all, he saved my life many times in the forest. "
Lao Rong knew that her daughter was definitely hiding something from her, then a thought came to her mind, and she asked in disbelief: " Don't tell me, you're in love with h- "
*KNOCK* *KNOCK*
Lao Rong's words were interrupted by the knock on the door, deciding to continue this conversation some other time, she spoke: " Come in. "
Xiao Rong heaved a sigh of relief, if it had continued for a minute longer, then Lao Rong might have made her confess everything.
One of the servants walked in and after bowing she spoke: " Greeting mam, hello ms. Xiao. "
Both the women nodded in response, then Lao Rong asked: " Do you have something important to report? "
" Yes mam, something big happened in the sect just now, it involves the Matriarch, her son and some members from the Justice hall. " She said.
Both Xiao and Lao Rong placed their food down and looked at the servant curiously, waiting for the news. Xiao's ears perked up hearing that this news involves Wang Jin, she wondered what it could be.
" Just now, the Vice leader from the Justice hall, Dong, brought over a dozen disciples along with him to the Matriarch's residence and then accused Wang Jin of being a spy and also of killing a fellow... "
She began to explain everything, from the start to the point when Wang Jia killed Dong and captured others.
" Those shitty brats think they could do anything just because Matriarch tries not to meddle in their business most of the time, but this time they'll get a proper lesson. " Lao Rong said.
" I- Is Jin alright? He didn't get hurt, did he? " Xiao asked, as she failed to hide her worries.
" Yeah he is completely fine, contrary to what everyone believes, the Matriarch took his side, it was almost like she was saying that no one is allowed to touch her son. " The servant replied.
" Hmm, why did she have this sudden change of heart? " Lao Rong wondered.
" Mother, I'm going out for a minute. " Xiao said and stood up from her chair.
*Baaaaaam*
Without any words, Jia waved her hand and threw an ice ball at his face, his strength was nothing in comparison to Wang Jia's, and before he could even react, the ice ball hit his face, throwing him back.
" Did you order him to kill my son? " Jia asked again.
" N- No Matriarch, I- I didn't he acted on his own, please believe me. " He said, before Wang Jia have never acted so aggressively so everyone have forgotten how terrifying she is, but now he is fearing that she might really kill him.
Without caring about the injuries he has just suffered, he hit his head on the ground, trying to make her believe his words.
" That better be the case, if I found out you played ANY role in any of it, I'm going to kill you in the most brutal way, even if you were to hide in the depths of hell. " Jia said and walked out of the room leaving behind a dishevelled hall master.
After leaving the Justice Hall, Jia walked back to her house just as she reached mid way, one of her personal guards appeared behind her out of nowhere.
" What's the matter? Did it turn out as we expected? " She asked, without turning her head.
" Yes Matriarch, all the Justice Hall disciples we captured earlier were found dead in the prison. " He reported, walking behind her.
" Did you see who killed them? " She asked, a smile forming on her lips.
" Yes, it is one of the prison guards, he is a close friend of the third elder's subordinate. But we still don't have any evidence that third elder ordered the entire thing. " He said.
" It's fine, just keep a watch over him and report if you find any thing suspicious. " Just as she finished speaking, the man disappeared from behind her.
Then she flew back to her home, and with anticipation opened the door but was disappointed to find that Jayden hadn't returned yet.
She find it strange that she couldn't sense Jayden's presence most of the time, but she have already gotten used to it.
With a sigh, she returned back to her work because of the sect competition her work had increased quite a bit, but in her mind she was already planning of ways to deal with the third elder.
