At Last Someone Clears My Sister’s Name

"Wrongful death?" Sean Shaw raised an eyebrow. "How did Lucy Luan die wrongfully?"

Leo Li made me place a Beyond-Shore Sigil on both Lucy Luan and Ethan Lu. Within fifteen days, one of them had to die! Lucy chose death herself to save Ethan. When she was supposed to swallow the Divine Crimson Pill, she faked it—she never actually took it! She did it all on purpose.

As soon as these words fell, the whole banquet hall erupted in a storm of whispers.

"Divine Lady Lucia was truly wronged!"

I knew it! There’s no way she could’ve harmed His Majesty the Celestial Emperor! He used to favor her most of all!

It was Leo Li who destroyed her! She offended Leo Li back then, and he was just getting his revenge!

Was it Leo Li getting revenge, or someone else behind it all... Who can say for sure?

...

The Lu clan members who came to the banquet all had red eyes.

High Goddess Felicity Quinn broke down in tears, collapsing into Lu Qingzhu’s arms, unable to control herself.

Ryan Lu threw his head back and laughed: "Heaven has eyes! Hahaha! Heaven has eyes! At last, someone has cleared my sister’s name!"

As he laughed, the Soulbinder talisman’s effect faded and Liam Leshan gradually regained consciousness.

His face ashen, he looked around and slowly stood up.

Tanya Quinn asked him, "I’m curious—how were you planning to control me? Was it with a talisman?"

Liam Leshan gave a bitter laugh. "Tanya! Why don’t you ask me if I ever truly loved you?"

Tanya Quinn’s face was expressionless. "That doesn’t matter."

"It doesn’t matter?"

Tanya nodded.

Then does Noctis truly love you—does that matter?

Tanya glanced at Noctis and suddenly realized... it actually did matter.

That was worth pondering.

"Lord Noctis," Liam Leshan said, "even if you ruin my wedding to the Divine Lord, there are a dozen other backups! No matter how it turns, it will never be your turn!"

Noctis smiled lightly. "That’s none of your concern!"

Liam Leshan turned and looked at Lily Bai.

Lily Bai met his gaze, neither backing down.

"Back then, I made a mistake," Liam Leshan said. "Maybe I shouldn’t have put a Hellfire Talisman on you."

Lily Bai immediately widened her eyes and played dumb. "Huh? Are you talking to me?"

Liam Leshan smiled faintly and suddenly sent a sound transmission: "I won’t let you go."

Then, he suddenly vanished.

Lily Bai immediately activated her spiritual sight and saw a vortex on the ceiling. He turned into a streak of light and escaped through it.

Tanya Quinn, furious, was about to pursue him, but Lily Bai transmitted, "Don’t chase! He planned this carefully—even his escape route is ready. By now, he’s already far from Cangwu."

Tanya Quinn took a deep breath and ordered, "Issue a warrant for Jenna Stormscar and her three children!"

The Divine Generals of Cangwu immediately accepted the order and left.

"Divine Lord," at this moment, Brandon Xiao stood up, bowed, and said, "Since everyone is here today, I’d like to take this opportunity to say something."

Tanya Quinn nodded.

Brandon first walked up to the Lu clan, bowed deeply: "High God Quentin Lian, High Goddess Vivian Lu, first I must apologize to you! Because of my negligence, Divine Lady Lucia may have been wronged."

Quentin Lian, ever reasonable, hurried to help him up. "Your Highness, there’s no need for this. We were all there at the time, but none of us expected things to turn out this way!"

Brandon nodded. "I’ll have the case re-examined when I return, reviewing all testimony and evidence! I hope you’ll attend the retrial as an observer. I promise you a proper resolution!"

Quentin Lian nodded.

Brandon then turned to the rest and said, "With representatives from all three Divine Realms present today, I also want to take this chance to clear the name of my fifth brother, Sean Shaw."
