Chapter 489: Is your son's happiness worth the price?
Everyone in the room was looking forward to Xing Qiu's reply.
"I know this because the members of the Flying Sword Sect have asked me to do this" Xing Qiu spoke in a lifeless voice.
These words shocked everyone on the spot, for they never imagined that something like that had happened. The sect master and the elders knew what kind of sect the Flying Swords Sect was, they were a group that talked about justice, but internally they were a group of selfish and vile people.
They always did their best to achieve their goals, even if they had to sacrifice their own sect members. Because of these things, those who knew this information never entered this sect, only those who were naive and easy to deceive entered.
"Son, what would you get by doing that sort of thing?" The elder Lin was already pale after hearing her son's words, she understood that he had betrayed the sect.
"Su Mei, the elders of the Flying Swords Sect promised me that if I did that, they would capture Su Mei in the forest and deliver me as my personal slave." Xing Qiu's words were like a bomb in everyone's ears, for never imagined that he had done such a thing to try to take Su Mei.
While the faces of Xing Qiu's parents were pale, the face of the sect master Su was ugly and dark, he imagined that if it were not for the sudden appearance of Yao Zihao, his precious daughter would have had a future worse than death. The master of the Su sect began to emanate a great murderous intent because of this.
"Sect master Su, wait. Let's keep asking about it, there may be more hidden things. I believe my son did not do it without being forced." Elder Lin was almost crying over Xing Qiu's earlier words, but she still believed in her own child and tried to give him one more chance, knew that the sect master Su would kill Xing Qiu on the spot.
"Okay, I'll give the disciple another chance to explain himself. Disciple Xing Qiu, why did you help the Flying Sword Sect?" The sect master asked in a heavy tone.
"They offered me the position of the future master of the Palace of the Nine Elements and Su Mei as my personal slave"
"You ..." Before the master of the Su sect could kill Xing Qiu, Liu Yang stopped him.
"Sect master Su, wait for a little. You still did not ask what he had to do in exchange for that"Liu Yang said in a casual tone.
The people around were already frightened by Xing Qiu's earlier words, but when they heard Liu Yang's words, they realized that Xing Qiu must have given something in return.
"Disciple Xing Qiu, what did you give in return to receive the support of the Flying Swords Sect?" Everyone on the scene was watching Xing Qiu, as they wanted to know what he had done.
"I took some secret parchments from the sect, and reported on the weak points of the sect, the information about Su Mei having been expelled from the Xiao clan and being imprisoned was also given."
Hearing the words of Xing Qiu, the sect master Su imagined that the situation was worse than he thought, the same was true for the elders. Everyone began to wonder when the Flying Swords Sect would invade the Palace of the Nine Elements.
But there was a good thing about it, the sect master and the elders imagined that Liu Yang had forgiven Su Mei after the things she had done. They figured this out because Liu Yang brought her along with him.
"Elders, arrest this traitor in prison, he will be imprisoned for ten thousand years" The sect master announced.
Xing Qiu's parents could not do anything about it because his son committed an unpardonable crime, they were already happy to know that he would be arrested, not killed. Xing Qiu was taken by two elders, they held him by the arms and dragged him as if he were a condemned man. His parents could only see this scene with pale faces.
"Mr. Van, this matter ..."
"Sect master, you do not have to worry about it, just leave it to me. For now, let's leave this subject aside. The people I called have they arrived?" Liu Yang had not yet seen the people he asked to call.
"Mr. Van, I apologize for the delay, but they are already on the way." The sect master Su was nervous when he heard Liu Yang's question because he thought Liu Yang was annoyed by the delay.
...
Some minutes later…
The door was opened and a group of people appeared, they were the people that Liu Yang had called. At the meeting place, there were only Liu Yang, Yao Zihao, Su Mei, his daughter, the sect master, his wife, his youngest daughter, the patriarch of the Pendragon clan along with his wife, their son, and their son's woman. The group was sitting around the large round table.
"Nice to meet you, I believe the sect master has already spoken about why I called you here." Liu Yang said casually.
"Yes, the sect master Su has already told us about it. Mr. Van, I'd like to know why you were against this marriage." The person who spoke was the patriarch of the Pendragon clan.
"I can only say that I owe the Pendragon clan a favor, as one of its members has helped me greatly in the past and I am indebted to him. Before that person died, I promised him that I would help the Pendragon clan if they were in trouble "
The members of the Pendragon clan were surprised when they heard Liu Yang's words, they never imagined he would have such a past.
"What does this have to do with my son's marriage?"
"I know that your son and the daughter of the sect master already have a person in their hearts, and to separate them would be a bad thing. If your goals are to maintain good relations between the clan and the sect, someone else could take their place. "
"I see ... This is indeed possible but there is one small problem, I am the current leader of the clan, and the sect master Su is also the current leader. So the marriage between our children would be more efficient. "
"I know that, but ... Patriarch of the Pendragon clan, if that's what you think, there's nothing I can do about it. But I need you to remember one thing in the future: Is your child's happiness worth the price?"
Finishing his speech, Liu Yang turned to the sect master and spoke.
"Sect master, I hope you pretend nothing happened on that subject"
"Mr. Van, I thank you for the things you have done for the sect, we will better prepare for the confrontation against the Flying Sword Sect."
"Sect master Su, what happened here? Why are we going to come into conflict with the Flying Sword Sect? "The patriarch of the Pendragon clan asked confusedly.
The sect master Su narrated the things that happened before, the three members of the Pendragon clan were shocked when they discovered that Xing Qiu had betrayed the sect in return for benefits.
"All right, I'll inform the Pendragon clan about it"
"I'm afraid there's no need to do this, faction master Liu will talk to the master of the Celestial Sword Sect about this matter." Liu Yang intervened.
"Faction master Liu? Mr. Van, are you talking about Liu Yang? "The sect master asked curiously.
"Yes"
"Mr. Van, what can faction master Liu do about this?" Everyone on the scene was curious as to why Liu Yang had said that.
"He can resolve this issue without conflict"
