Chapter 3102 — The Eastern Family's Reaction
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
At first all was unremarkable: the scene of Dongfang Cha and Dongfang Buruo just arriving in Donghai City. Then came footage of Dongfang Cha driving to Donghai City Engineering University, where he waited beneath the teaching building for a time.
Dongfang Jinxing fast-forwarded through all of that, until he reached the moment Dongfang Cha struck and knocked the two girls unconscious. Now came the important part!
"The Dark Night Elder of the Dark Night Palace, of all people?" Dongfang Jinxing was startled at the sight of the newcomer on screen. The Dark Night Palace's Grand Elder was honored as the Dark Night Elder—not because that was her name, but because every generation's Grand Elder bore that title.
Yet that was not even the most shocking part. What happened next turned Dongfang Jinxing's expression unspeakably grim—for the Dark Night Elder had actually struck Dongfang Cha dead. After that the footage cut out; evidently the Dark Night Elder had had the surveillance device found and destroyed.
"Dark Night Palace, you and I have no quarrel, yet you kill a elder of my Eastern Family—are the elders of the Eastern Family so easy to bully?" From the footage, Dongfang Jinxing had no way of knowing that Gu Mengyao was the inheritor the Dark Night Palace sought. In his eyes they were merely two pretty little girls. Was the Dark Night Elder not simply meddling? We were seizing our own people—what business was it of yours? Did you fancy yourself a hero who draws his blade at the sight of injustice?
Dongfang Jinxing was furious. This was the third of their own to die in succession—first Dongfang Bushu, then Dongfang Jian, and now Dongfang Cha! Every one of them a fighter of the first rank, and all dead, just like that?
However powerful the Eastern Family might be, the loss of three Heaven-rank experts in a row was a grievous blow. Dongfang Jinxing did not dare act on his own authority. He copied the video to his phone, then hurried toward the place where Dongfang Badao cultivated.
"Who goes there?" Dongfang Jinxing had barely reached the door of Dongfang Badao's chamber when Dongfang Yinxing's sharp challenge rang out from within. After all, who in the Eastern Family would come here in the middle of the night? His tone was therefore none too courteous.
"Come in. It's Jinxing," Dongfang Badao spoke up then. His cultivation surpassed Dongfang Yinxing's, and so he had recognized the footsteps as Dongfang Jinxing's.
"Yes, Father!" Dongfang Jinxing pushed the door open and entered, then said in urgent haste: "Father, Second Brother, something terrible has happened—Dongfang Cha is dead too!"
"What?!" Dongfang Badao rose abruptly to his feet, disbelief filling his eyes. "Jinxing, what did you say? Dongfang Cha is dead too? How did he die? Was he silenced while investigating the cause of Dongfang Jian's death?"
"No, it has nothing to do with that. Dongfang Cha never went to the Cultivator's Guild at all—he went to find women for that boy Buruo..." Dongfang Jinxing sighed and recounted the whole affair, exactly as it had happened, to Dongfang Badao and Dongfang Yinxing. (To be continued.
