Son-in-law Heaven Emperor Xiao Yi

```

Huang Yi nodded heavily, his face darkening as he said, "Don't worry, big brother, I will bring her in right away!"

Huang Yi, with a gloomy face, walked out of the other garden.

At the entrance of the other garden.

Xiao Yi, sensing someone approaching, gently patted Huang Yuwei's shoulder, "Someone's coming!"

"Hmm?"

Huang Yuwei was taken aback as she saw Huang Yi with a dark expression on his face walking toward her, his gaze filled with wariness and confusion. But Huang Yuwei's heart was concerned about Huang Baitao's safety, and she paid no attention to the change in Huang Yi's expression, hastily calling out, "Second Elder, how is father doing?"

Huang Yi squinted at Huang Yuwei, "Did you bring back the Hundred Tribulations Elixir?"

Huang Yuwei nodded subconsciously.@@novelbin@@

Huang Yi's gaze paused briefly on Xiao Yi and Along, frowning, "Who are they?"

Huang Yuwei said, "These are my two friends, Xiao Yi and Along! It's thanks to their help that I was able to obtain the Hundred Tribulations Elixir. Second Elder, my father should have recovered by now, right?"

"Greetings, Second Elder!" Xiao Yi and the other greeted.

Huang Yi said, "Come in with me."

"Okay!"

Huang Yuwei hurriedly walked toward the inside of the Beast Emperor's other garden, Xiao Yi and the other following with furrowed brows.

Upon entering the room.

Huang Yuwei saw Huang Baitao on the couch, tears filling her eyes instantly, "Father..."

She tried to step forward.

But the Second Elder barred the way with an outstretched arm in front of her.

The atmosphere in the room made Xiao Yi's brows tighten slightly.

He noticed that everyone in the room looked at them with wariness and hostility. Especially the First Elder, who, as soon as they entered, waved his hand to close the door.

There was also a surge of energy, locking onto the three of them.

Xiao Yi glanced around and saw Huang Baitao on the couch with a blackened face and blood pouring from his seven orifices, and his heart skipped a beat, "This is bad, trouble's brewing..."

As if to confirm his conjecture.

Ji Lingluo was the first to accuse, "Huang Yuwei, did you bring that Hundred Tribulations Elixir?"

Huang Yuwei was startled, her eyes full of tears, without taking her gaze off the bed, she nodded, "Auntie, the Hundred Tribulations Elixir was indeed brought by Yuwei."

Huang Zheng said in a heavy voice, "Yuwei, the Hundred Tribulations Elixir has been extinct for many years, where did you find it?"

"I got it from Vice President Lin Yuejin of the Hundred Herbs Chamber of Commerce!" Huang Yuwei said through tears.

Huang Zheng frowned, "The Hundred Tribulations Elixir is extremely valuable, how could Lin Yuejin bear to give it to you?"

Huang Yuwei's gaze remained fixed on Huang Baitao, the worry and pain in her eyes not diminishing one bit, "All thanks to Xiao Yi's help, he knows Shi Feiya from the Hundred Herbs Chamber of Commerce, and we got the Hundred Tribulations Elixir through her from Vice President Lin."

"Oh?"

Huang Zheng narrowed his eyes into slits, sizing up Xiao Yi, "May I know where this young brother comes from to have such influence, that Shi Feiya would help you get a Hundred Tribulations Elixir?"

Xiao Yi frowned slightly and said, "I come from the Great Qian Dynasty, with some cooperation with President Shi!"

"Just 'some cooperation', and she would give such a precious pill to you, just for your sake?" Ji Lingluo said in a peculiar tone.

Huang Yuwei was taken aback, too, sensing something amiss in the atmosphere, and frowned, "Auntie, what do you mean by that? Xiao Yi has helped us, and yet you're questioning him like this..."

"Helped us? Hmph, I think it's you, this wild girl, colluding with outsiders, intentionally using poison to harm your father!" Ji Lingluo snorted coldly, her eyes glaring angrily and her voice piercingly sharp.

```

Hum!

Huang Yuwei's face turned pale as she looked at Ji Lingluo in disbelief, "Auntie, what are you saying? How could I possibly harm my father?"

"How could it not be possible?"

Huang Jinghong snorted coldly from the side. In an effort to exonerate himself, he spared no effort to push all the blame onto Huang Yuwei, "Everyone knows that you were engaged to Sha Ying. Now that father is seriously ill, Sha Kun can hardly wait to seize the position of city lord. I think you want to poison our father to please your future father-in-law, so you can be the young madam of the city lord's family!"

"You—you're talking nonsense!"

Huang Yuwei's forehead pulsed with anger as she glared at Huang Jinghong.

"I'm talking nonsense? Humph, I think you are the one with a guilty conscience. If the Hundred Tribulations Elixir isn't poison, why would you hand it over to me, letting me take all the credit for nothing?" Huang Jinghong said with a strange intonation.

Huang Zheng and Huang Yi squinted their eyes, though they said nothing, they seemed to agree with Huang Jinghong's words.

After all,

the calls for Huang Yuwei to inherit the position of city lord were already strong. If she could save Huang Baitao at this time, those neutral elders would surely switch their support to her.

Yet, at this critical moment, she had given the Hundred Tribulations Elixir to Huang Jinghong, her competitor—indeed, it didn't make sense!

Ji Lingluo's tone was dark and frosty, each word she uttered was like a dagger piercing Huang Yuwei's heart, "Huang Yuwei, I didn't expect you to have such a malicious heart. Just for your own selfish desires, you even wouldn't spare your own father!"

"Auntie, I didn't, I've been wronged…" Huang Yuwei's eyes pleaded as she looked at Huang Zheng and Huang Yi, "Elders, I am truly wronged. You must believe me, I couldn't possibly harm my father, I am innocent…"

However…

Everyone seemed to turn a deaf ear.

At this moment, Huang Yuwei was like a child lost at a crossroads, with the sky darkened and no light from the sun or moon. She couldn't find anyone to trust, couldn't find anyone willing to believe her.

Loneliness, helplessness, darkness, coldness, and despair.

It was as if these elements had intertwined into a vast black net, firmly trapping her beneath it.

Unable to move.

Unable to struggle.

Her heart was already completely shrouded by the darkness.

It was at this time,

a gentle voice suddenly pierced her dark world, "I believe you!"

"Hmm?"

Huang Yuwei felt the darkness before her eyes tear away, a ray of light shining upon her.

There stood Xiao Yi beside her.

With tears in her eyes, Huang Yuwei murmured, "Xiao Yi…"

Xiao Yi gently wiped the tears from her face, his calm gaze sweeping over everyone before finally settling on Huang Jinghong, and spoke coldly, "Let me tell you why Yuwei went to great lengths to obtain the Hundred Tribulations Elixir, yet didn't bring it in herself!"

"Shut up, this is the Huang Family, you outsider have no place to speak here!" Huang Jinghong's face changed as he quickly berated.

He had only just managed to push the blame onto Huang Yuwei.

If Xiao Yi revealed the truth now, wouldn't all his previous schemes be in vain?

"Shut your filthy mouth! If you dare utter one more word, I will kill you!"

Two solid beams of cold light shot from Xiao Yi's eyes, the intensity of his gaze pushing Huang Jinghong back against the wall, his back already drenched in cold sweat.

Xiao Yi's gaze swept over everyone, and he began to speak calmly, "…"
