"No, no, Third Elder, it's not like that!"
In her panic, she couldn't explain the situation clearly.
At this moment, Luo Qingtong's pitiful voice sounded again.
"That's right, it's all our fault."
"Miss Yufei, don't say anymore. I know that we didn't know what was good for us."
"Miss Ke 'er wanted us to go over to her side, so we should have gone over."
She sniffed and continued, "It's us who didn't know what was good for us."
"Miss Ke 'er clearly said that her bloodline would inherit the Chu family sooner or later. We … didn't want to break our promise to Young Master Xiaofeng, so we didn't go over."
"If we knew this would happen, we would have gone over directly."
"It's our fault. Otherwise, this wouldn't have happened!"
"…"
The moment Luo Qingtong's words came out, there was a moment of silence.
The veins on Third Elder's face almost popped out.
"Scoundrel, you're talking nonsense!"
"Ke 'er would never say that!"
Third Elder said, but there was some uncertainty on his face.
Because he knew his granddaughter's temperament too well.
She was arrogant and despotic, and always talked about her identity as a direct descendant.
If she had been provoked by Chu Xiaofeng in a fit of anger because she had failed to get the mercenaries, she would have scolded him without thinking.
He would still believe her.
Evil creature!
Evil creature!
If he had known that this evil creature was so capable, he would have broken her legs at home!
He would have made it impossible for her to participate in this operation!
Third Elder's expression was malevolent, and he was extremely regretful.
When Luo Qingtong heard his words, she seemed to have thought of something, and her face turned pale in an instant.
She nodded forcefully, and shrank back as she said, "Yes, I didn't."
"Miss Ke 'er didn't say. I probably heard wrongly."
Heard wrongly?
How could he have misheard such a thing?
Moreover, even if he had heard wrongly, Chu Chuchu must have heard wrongly.
This also meant that Chu Ke 'er should have said something similar. Otherwise, how could this young man say such things?
The people from the Tianfeng Chu Clan glanced at Luo Qingtong's figure. After seeing her strength, they were even more certain of her words.
After all, they didn't believe that a low-level mercenary like Luo Qingtong would dare to frame a descendant of the Tianfeng Chu Family!
Everyone looked at the Third Elder with even more profound expressions.
After the Eighth Elder heard Luo Qingtong's words, he suddenly sneered, waved his sleeve and said: "So that's how it is. I was wondering why the younger generation of the Third Elder was so bold. It turns out that they have a backer!"
"Third Elder, should I congratulate you in advance for taking over the Chu clan in the future?"
The moment the Eighth Elder's words left his mouth, the Third Elder's face turned ashen.
His lips twitched, and then he roared angrily, "This is all slander!"
"Chu Tongming, this is definitely a scheme of the Eighth Elder's faction. We, the Third Elder's faction, will never admit it!"
"I will not let this matter rest!"
With that, he waved his sleeve and ran away.
He looked like he was about to flee.
He couldn't stay here any longer!
After the Third Elder left, Chu Yufei covered her mouth and cried out in shock.
She only realized now that she had casually defended Chu Ke 'er and caused a lot of trouble.
Who would have thought that the young man from the Red Flame Mercenary Group would pin such a huge accusation on the Third Elder's faction?
