CHAPTER 252: CHAPTER 252: RESTART

In the current world, Xia Mian might still care about human relationships and laws, but here, sorry, strength is the only truth.

Xia Weiqing got up from the ground, his eyes sinisterly glaring at Xia Mian, "What kind of thing are you, daring to behave arrogantly in my Divine Clan!"

As Xia Weiqing finished speaking, he was kicked in the back.

Xia Liang’s cold laughter came from above his head, "She’s my own granddaughter! People like you aren’t worthy to even carry her shoes!"

Xia Liang valued Xia Mian from the first moment he saw her, feeling a deep appreciation for her talents.

He wanted to keep Xia Mian in the Divine Clan, at all costs.

However, some people were envious and jealous of Xia Mian, wanting to exclude her from the Divine Clan!

"Heh, not worthy to even carry her shoes..." Xia Changqing’s face was grim, his eyes emitting a beast-like ferocity, "I don’t buy that nonsense!"

After speaking, Xia Changqing suddenly exerted strength, flipping up from the ground, and in the instant he flipped, he swung his hand forward, scattering a powder towards Xia Mian with the wind!

Xia Mian instinctively closed her eyes, stepped back, and waved her hand!

She scattered the powder with a wave of her hand, and before she could open her eyes to assess the situation, she sensed a foul wind approaching her.

Before Xia Mian could counterattack, Lu Zechuan had already stepped forward, lifted his long leg, and kicked Xia Weiqing away again.

"Trivial tricks, you’re really losing the face of the Divine Clan!" Lu Zechuan’s face was frosty, looking down on Xia Weiqing’s sneak attack tactics.

Although Xia Weiqing was kicked away, he still showed a hint of a smug smile, "Trivial tricks? Ha, as long as it can defeat the enemy, it’s a good trick."

As Xia Weiqing’s words came out, the Divine Clan Guards who were previously surrounding him suddenly swayed, barely able to stand.

Their faces also turned extremely unpleasant in an instant.

Xia Mian frowned, that powder was poisonous!

Lu Zechuan’s face turned a bit grim too when he rushed to Xia Mian’s side earlier, seemingly having inhaled some powder as well.

"Young Master, don’t worry, your physique is special, immune to all poisons." Ling Fei said softly from behind Lu Zechuan.

Lu Zechuan frowned slightly.

Ling Fei explained on the side, "This is a unique trait passed down through generations of the Wood Clan’s successors."

Lu Zechuan said nothing, just kept Xia Mian securely behind him, he was immune to all poisons, but what about Xia Mian?

Was Xia Mian immune, or had she been affected by the powder?

"I’m fine." Xia Mian said softly.

She was always cautious by nature, and the moment Xia Weiqing scattered the powder, she held her breath, closed her eyes, and relied on instinct to counterattack.

"You scoundrel!" Xia Liang glared at Xia Weiqing fiercely, "Even now, you’re making futile struggles?"

Xia Liang felt utterly exhausted, although he had left the Divine Clan for many years and didn’t bother with clan affairs, it didn’t mean he had low expectations for the clan members!

Xia Weiqing and Xia Yan, father and son, were really going downhill!

"Divine Master, these two scoundrels are nothing but a disgrace to our Divine Clan!" Xia Heng stood behind Xia Liang, gritting his teeth in anger, it was these two scoundrels that made their father and son suspicious and locked in the holding room for days!

If his son had not been cautious by nature and extremely careful with the food they were given, they would have been the ones poisoned!

Xia Yan, that fool, doesn’t even distinguish between friend and foe, but also harms allies!

"Xia Heng! You call yourself my good brother!" Xia Yan cursed furiously.

Does Xia Heng not have ambitions?

Does Xia Heng’s family not want to sit in the Divine Master’s seat?

Hmph, a pair of cowards!

Xia Heng ignored Xia Yan, such a fool, playing such petty tricks in front of the Divine Master, is he eager to die?

"Xia Yan, you at least count as my brother’s offspring, I’ll personally send you to meet your father! Go down and catch up with him!" Xia Liang said as he slowly raised his hand.

Beneath his palm, a formidable power gradually formed.

Xia Yan closed his eyes, despairing.

He originally thought that by staking everything, he could secure a future for his son, now, he had only sent his son down the Yellow Springs Road...

When Xia Liang dealt with Xia Yan and Xia Weiqing, there was no trace of mercy.

They were directly exterminated, not even leaving a trace.

After this, in front of the entire Divine Clan, he reiterated Xia Mian’s status as the First Lady of the Divine Clan, anyone who disrespected Xia Mian was to be expelled from the clan!

People from the Divine Clan, who already held Xia Mian in awe, now dared not speak a single word against her.

The chaos within the Divine Clan finally came to an end.

Xia Liang had Xia Zhun and Song Juan’s bodies sent back to Bishui Residence, with an array set to guard them, using Natural Spirit Stones for nourishment, ensuring their bodies wouldn’t decay before they awoke.

Xia Mian originally came to find Song Juan, and she found her, but now Song Juan was in this state.

Xia Mian sat by the bed, looking at the two people on the bed as if asleep, not uttering a word.

Xia Liang stood behind her silently, sighing softly, "Don’t worry, your father is skilled, even if he gets to live again, he should be able to bring your mother back safe and sound."

Xia Mian pressed her lips together, stood up, "You take care of the Divine Clan for now! I need to go back!"

Xia Liang said nothing.

"I will come back." Xia Mian let out a small laugh, her smile a bit forced.

Xia Liang then relaxed, "Go back if you want to then!"

"The magic you practiced for leaving before, it’s correct, follow that magic, and you can come and go freely in the Divine Clan." Xia Liang said gently, reaching into his pocket to pull out two gleaming green stones, "These are Space-Time Traveling Stones, with these as a medium, you can come to the Divine Clan more quickly and accurately."

Xia Mian took the two Space-Time Traveling Stones, stood up, and gave Xia Liang a deep look, "You’re a good grandfather. When you get too old to handle it, I’ll take over for you."

But for now, she had to go back.

The Heavenly Maiden Clan was wiped out by the Divine Clan, if she wanted to learn the magic of Defying Fate from them, it seemed she could only return to the current world to find Qin Shuang.

Xia Zhun might be able to bring Song Juan back intact, but she couldn’t put all her hopes on Xia Zhun.

Something, only when you learn it yourself, is truly yours.

Xia Zhun defied fate for her once, she could also defy fate for Xia Zhun!

"Alright, I’ll wait for you to take my place." Xia Liang smiled, but if you looked closely, his smile was full of resignation.

At his age, he intended to enjoy his old age, but his son had issues, and his granddaughter didn’t want to take on his burden.

Enjoying his old age, seems like he’ll endure for a few more years!

Now that Xia Mian was determined to leave, Lu Zechuan called Wei Wei and Ling Fei over, the four of them gathered together.

Xia Weizhang, full of concerns, looked at Xia Mian, unable to suppress the worry in his heart, "Cousin, if you meet Ding Cheng in the current world, please pass him a message for me."

Let him know that she’s still alive, and well, and that would be enough for him.
