Chapter 425 Exposed
Seeing the disbelieving look on Han Xi's face, the Sixth Elder helplessly said, "Sect Master..."
"I was indeed faking my disability; I lied to you about it," the Sixth Elder said helplessly.
Han Xi asked with some surprise, "Sixth Elder, why did you lie to me?"
"Our Hanshan Sword Sect seems to have done nothing to wrong you, and besides, haven't I always been completely open and honest with you?"
"Sixth Elder, I always thought you were crippled, and it has always been very painful for me."
"But here's the problem. No matter what, you need to know that I, as the sect leader, am also very upset about what you've done," Han Xi said.
The Sixth Elder said somewhat embarrassedly, "Sect Master, I know what you mean, and I understand, but you also know the situation."
"I don't really have anything to say, but at least on this issue, the reason I'm doing this is because I have my own difficulties," the Sixth Elder said.
"Dilemma?" Xu Yao laughed from the side: "Sixth Elder, just say that you killed the entire Lin family and did it so that no one would find out."
After hearing Xu Yao's words, Han Xi looked at the Sixth Elder and asked, "Sixth Elder, is this true or false?"
The Sixth Elder knew that he could no longer keep it a secret. If he continued to hide it, things might not be so simple.
Moreover, it's clear that with Xu Yao by his side, he can't possibly lie anymore.
Moreover, the sect leader had treated him well, so the Sixth Elder directly said, "Alright, I admit it."
"I did indeed kill the entire Lin family," the Sixth Elder said.
"What!" Han Xi looked at the Sixth Elder in shock, because he understood what the Sixth Elder was saying.
What does this mean? After all, if what the Sixth Elder said is true, then this matter is serious.
The murder of the entire Lin family—the whole family—means far more than that. This is not a simple matter.
So the Korean faction directly said, "Sixth Chief, if this is true, do you know what you will face?"
The Sixth Elder seemed to have come to terms with it, and said, "Of course I know what this means. I've known what this means from the very beginning."
"I hadn't thought about these things before, but there was no other way. I was originally the heir to the Lin family patriarch."
The Sixth Elder watched as the two recounted the entire story from beginning to end.
"At first, the whole family had high hopes for me and wanted me to inherit the Lin family business. Back then, I was naive and innocent."
"I naively thought that tomorrow would be better than today, but I really didn't expect it."
"Under such circumstances, I was actually outmaneuvered by my most trusted younger brother, who has always wanted to become the head of the family."
"But in front of me, he kept saying that he hoped I, as the eldest brother, would be the head of the family. How could I have known that my younger brother had such wolfish ambitions?"
"In the end, I also believed his lies. I originally thought that my younger brother genuinely wanted to help me become the head of the family."
"So I didn't say anything, I just kept preparing, but on this day, my younger brother deliberately framed me."
“I didn’t know it was my brother who framed me. At the time, I was also wondering why I was involved in a murder case.”
“But I told the clan leaders that I didn’t kill the person, but in the end, the clan leaders didn’t believe me.”
"In the end, my younger brother became the clan chief. Actually, I have nothing more to say about this matter."
"Even if I weren't the one to become the clan leader, it wouldn't matter. I don't care about being the clan leader either, but I'm still furious," the Sixth Elder said angrily.
Xu Yao asked curiously, "Why are you so angry?"
After having a drink, the Sixth Elder said angrily, "I've always found this murder case very strange."
"I was drunk at the time, and I fell asleep in a daze. When I woke up, the maid was dead next to me."
"But no matter how I explain, it's no use. I was clearly framed, but there's nothing I can do."
"As a result, during my investigation, I gradually discovered through clues that it was my younger brother who framed me."
“I was not reconciled, so I wanted to find my brother and ask him for the truth. But he wasn’t home that day, and I ran into my sister-in-law.”
"Because I was in seclusion at the Sword Sect at the time, I secretly went home so as not to be discovered."
"That's why I was disguised. I originally planned to secretly find my brother at home and question him."
"Anyway, this has already happened, so I don't want anything. I just want to find out whether my brother framed me or not."
"But unexpectedly, I had bad luck at this time and ran into my sister-in-law. She saw me in the room."
"They thought I was going to commit a crime, so they were about to call for help, but I stopped them from making a sound."
"I quickly stopped her. I didn't use force; I just gently grabbed her neck."
"But what I didn't expect was that my sister-in-law wasn't a Taoist practitioner, and I didn't pay any attention to it."
"My sister-in-law was instantly killed when I grabbed her by the neck," the Sixth Elder said, clutching his head in pain.
At this moment, Xu Yao said, "Just like that, you killed the entire Lin family?"
"Sixth Elder, you really went too far with that."
The Sixth Elder said painfully, "I didn't mean to kill anyone. I just wanted to find out the truth, but who knew my sister-in-law's neck was so fragile."
“I didn’t know she would die like this. I watched her breathe her last in my hands.”
"I was completely dumbfounded!" the Sixth Elder said, also in anguish.
Xu Yao could tell that the Sixth Elder still remembered the incident vividly and believed that he was indeed the murderer.
Otherwise, this would never have happened, but since it has already occurred, it is naturally irreversible.
At this moment, the Sixth Elder continued, "It's all my sister-in-law's fault. I originally wanted to rely on my own efforts."
"Find my brother and find out the truth. If it really was my brother who did this, then I, as the older brother, have nothing to say."
"I just wanted to get the result I wanted, but I never expected that it would happen because of my sister-in-law's death."
"I had no choice, so..."
