Chapter 375
Gao Ke didn’t know the details, so he couldn’t relax, because once he agreed to start the verdict, the consequences could be unexpected.
Whether Jiang Chen was right or wrong wasn’t the most important thing. He was afraid they would use Jiang Chen to attack Gao Yue and force him to accept their offer, but Gao Yan was so aggressive that he couldn’t say no.
“Okay.” Gao Ke had to agree.
What a pity.
Jiang Chen glanced at Lily, lying on the ground, and thought to himself, She was so young, but she gave up her practice to participate in such a thing, willing to be another’s chess piece.
Someone had ordered her to kill him. That someone also knew that she might have been killed by him, but he didn’t care.
Jiang Chen felt like his pity for her was only crocodile tears, so he shook his head, as if he was trying to shake off the idea.
“He doesn’t have much time left,” Gao Yan said with pity.
Then he continued, “As an outsider, Jiang Chen killed a disciple of the Gaos’ direct line. The phoenix blood in his body shouldn’t exist! And Gao Yue, she caused huge losses for the Gaos. It seems she’s the only one who isn’t concerned, but the influence on the Gaos was huge. If we don’t punish her, no one will agree to have political marriages anymore. The Gaos will be finished if things go that way!”
“What do you suggest?”
The clan elders’ reactions were the same. They were expecting Gao Yan to continue.
“It doesn’t sound good if we keep poisoning our own people. After all, Gao Yue has super pure phoenix blood. She should do something for the family. I heard the wife of Snow Dragon, vice president of the Association of Inheritance, had just passed away—” Gao Yan told them his cruel plan.
“Gao Yan, Snow Dragon is even older than you. You want my sister to marry him?!” Gao Ke interrupted him furiously.
Gao Yan was laughing silently, but on the surface he refuted very emotionally, “It’s for the family’s sake. As acting lord, you should set a good example!”
“Where is our dignity as an aristocratic family of inheritance?!” Gao Ke refuted.
“Snow Dragon is the vice president of the association. It would be an honor to marry him,” said Gao Yan.
“That’s bullsh*t!” Gao Ke cursed.
“Gao Ke!” the five clan elders reproached him right away.
Gao Ke turned pale. He realized he had gone right into Gao Li’s trap.
“Outsiders don’t know about Jinghong’s illness yet. We should choose a new lord as soon as possible so that others can’t take the chance to attack us. As for Gao Yue and her son, Gao Yan has a point. You’ve been a bad influence on the Gaos,” said Senior Fei.
“I won’t get married again. Besides, my husband is still alive,” said Gao Yue.
“Gao Yue, I’m not giving you a choice!” Senior Fei said angrily.
“My father will be a great Venerable soon. Even the Gaos don’t have someone as powerful as him,” said Jiang Chen.
“Great Venerable?” They were surprised, but it looked like they weren’t affected.
“Jiang Chen, you’re not getting the point. The point isn’t your father. It’s you!” shouted Gao Li.
“Is pure phoenix blood not good enough?” asked Jiang Chen.
“Not enough to offset the influence brought by you and your mother, because maybe the next generation of yours won’t even have thick phoenix blood. And their next generation might not even have normal phoenix blood. This is the limit of someone like you, who has half normal blood!”
“Well, is genuine blood enough?”
