Chapter 1295: Chapter 1292: Sorry, I Seem to Have Arrived a Bit Late (2nd Update)

This accusation was like a heavy bomb, causing many people’s faces to change dramatically.

Yet Sheng Miaotong remained unaffected, instead she coldly stared at Lu Xiaocui.

"Everything I said is the truth. If you don’t believe it, then suit yourself!"

"How audacious!" Sheng Yihua, who had been watching coldly from the sidelines, scolded in a deep voice, but his eyes were full of panic.

Because he knew all too well the character of his younger daughter, unlike his elder daughter Sheng Manyu, who had grown up under the Family Head Sheng Shuyun since she was a child.

Sheng Miaotong was stubborn and passionate – she spoke her mind and never held back her words.

For this very reason, she was not favored by the old Family Head Sheng Shuyun.

With this incident unfolding, Sheng Yihua felt uneasy, fearing that his daughter would get hurt again, so he had been trying hard to mediate the situation.

But he never expected that the matriarch of the Lu Family would personally come to demand an accounting.

This made Sheng Yihua even more anxious.

Because he was acutely aware that compared to the wrath of the Lu Family, Sheng Miaotong was simply insignificant.

However, all his efforts seemed to dissipate into thin air with Sheng Miaotong’s defiant words.

The old lady of the Lu Family’s eyes changed, a terrifying grimace appeared on her face, and she let out a strange laugh.

"What a go with the flow. Sheng Shuyun, this is the trouble your precious granddaughter is seeking for herself, don’t blame me!"

Before anyone could react, this old lady of the Lu Family shot out like an arrow released from its bow, rushing straight towards Sheng Miaotong from her seat.

Sheng Yihua was deeply shocked, for he knew that if Lu Xiaocui got close to Miaotong, his daughter’s life was surely in jeopardy.

Thus, he thought of rushing forward to stop her.

But at that moment, Sheng Shuyun, who had been sitting calmly, coldly commanded: "Stand still, do not move!"

Sheng Yihua’s expression turned bitter, and he couldn’t help but cry out, "Father..."

Sheng Shuyun indifferently said, "How many times have I told you, those who strive for great achievements do not get bogged down in trifles. It’s just a daughter; if she dies, we can have another. But if we incur the Lu Family’s enmity over this, our Sheng Family’s great plan will be ruined in an instant!"

Sheng Yihua, seeing Lu Xiaocui close to Sheng Miaotong, showed a look of pain in his eyes and ultimately lowered his head helplessly, "Yes!"

Meanwhile.

Sheng Miaotong’s face was serious, yet there was no sign of fear, and she even attempted to resist.

But the gap in strength between her and Lu Xiaocui was too vast, so vast that with just a cold snort from Lu Xiaocui, she was struck as by lightning and stood frozen in place, incapable of moving.

Then Lu Xiaocui extended her cruel, hook-like palm with a gleeful expression.

"You little wench, it’s your face that seduced men and caused the death of my grandson, right? Then I’ll start by peeling off that skin of yours to avenge my grandson!"

As she spoke, she let out a mad cackle and reached out a hand to stroke across Sheng Miaotong’s cheek.

The icy palm made all the muscles in Sheng Miaotong’s body instantly stiffen.

Although Sheng Miaotong couldn’t move, her eyes could still see everything around her.

When her gaze passed Lu Xiaocui and saw the scene in the distance, her heart sank gradually.

Because she could clearly see the cold indifference on the face of her so-called grandfather.

And the pain in the eyes of her father standing beside him.

In an instant.

She understood everything.

It turns out that what she thought was the family’s affection was just a sacrificial pawn to be discarded at will!

This thought suddenly gave her the urge to laugh.

To laugh at the desolation of the situation, at the cold indifference of the so-called noble families.

But this look in her eyes infuriated Lu Xiaocui.

She roared in surprise and anger, "You little bitch, how dare you look at me like that? Then I will gouge out your eyes first!"

As she said this, she extended two fingers sharp as knives, plunging them down.

Looking at the skillfulness of those movements, it was clear this was not their first time doing something like this.

Sheng Miaotong watched with a heart full of bleakness, when suddenly a thought flashed across her mind.

What is he doing right now?

How I wish he were here at this moment to eradicate this so-called house of nobles!

Just as this thought arose, Lu Xiaocui’s fingers had already reached close by.

But at this critical moment, the immensely thick door of the secret chamber suddenly exploded into pieces, and amidst the rising cloud of dust, a dazzling sword light burst forth, slashing past Sheng Miaotong’s face in the nick of time.

The speed was so fast that Sheng Miaotong felt as if a breeze had brushed past her cheek.

Immediately after, she felt a warm sensation on her cheek and couldn’t help but look up.

It was at this moment that the extremely arrogant and privileged old lady of the Lu Family let out a deafening scream of agony.

"My hand!"

Sheng Miaotong was stunned.

That’s right!

The two fingers that Lu Xiaocui was about to use to gouge out Sheng Miaotong’s eyes had been severed along with the flash of sword light just now.

The warm sensation on Sheng Miaotong’s cheek was the fresh blood spurting from Lu Xiaocui’s wound.

Everything happened in an instant; from the explosion of the secret chamber’s door to the slash of the sword light, it all occurred in the span of two breaths.

When the crowd was startled awake by Lu Xiaocui’s scream of pain, they couldn’t help but let out exclamations of shock.

"Who is it?"

"Who dares to cause trouble at the Sheng Family’s home?"

Amidst the shouts, many Sheng Family descendants activated their cultivation levels, and waves of powerful aura surged, sealing off the entire secret chamber.

In such a situation.

There was silence outside the door, only a series of distinct footsteps approached from afar, as if someone was slowly walking towards them.

Many Sheng Family children exchanged glances, then focused their attention on the damaged door.

They were prepared, ready to launch a ferocious, no-dead-angle attack on anyone who dared to step in.

But just then, from outside the still dust-enshrouded door, came a calm voice, "Sorry, it seems I’m a bit late!"

With these words, a figure gradually emerged from the cloud of dust.

At the same time, upon hearing this voice, Sheng Miaotong’s entire body shook with disbelief, and she called out.

"Xue An?"

This ordinary-sounding name, at this moment, was like magic, causing many to lose their composure.

And at that moment, a white-clothed young man walked out gracefully from the dust and stepped into the secret chamber.

His eyes, shining like the stars, carried a hint of a cold smile.

Who else could it be but Xue An?

He nodded slightly to Sheng Miaotong and said with a smile, "Yes, it’s me!"

Sheng Miaotong was overwhelmed with emotions, but then she thought of something and shouted, "Be careful!"

But her warning came a bit too late.

Just as the words left her mouth, a series of brilliant lights surged, completely enveloping Xue An.

This wave of attacks contained the full force strikes from all Sheng Family juniors present.

The intensity of the assault was so strong it even made the space tremble.

This barrage continued for a full three breaths before it gradually subsided.

By now, they reckoned, he must be dead beyond doubt! The crowd thought to themselves.
