Chapter 756: News of Su Luo’s Death 5

He knew from the beginning that Su Luo's origins were unknown, yet he was still as close as could be with her… It was evident that he didn't care at all whether Su Luo had the status of being the daughter of the Grand General Protecting the Nation.

A trace of unease surfaced in Emperor Jing's heart.

If Liuyun really cared that much about Su Luo, then if he learned the news of Su Luo's death… at that time… the uneasy feeling in Emperor Jing's heart grew stronger and stronger.

However, the dead cannot be brought back to life; what could he do?

Moreover, it was just as well that the girl Su Luo died. Only with her dead would Liuyun join in marriage with the Yaochi Fairy.

Thinking this way, the conflict in Emperor Jing's heart gradually eased.

After Su Zian returned to his residence, the first thing he did was invite many people to bear witness.

He took out the genealogy and struck Su Luo's name from the family tree on the spot.

That heavy stroke of ink completely erased the connection between Su Luo and the Su Residence.

Su Zian loudly announced to the gathered crowd: "From now on, the name Su Luo has no relation to the Su Residence! Whatever she did before also has no relation to the Su Residence! Please spread the word!"

In Su Zian's view, this move was very wise.

After all, Su Luo had offended quite a few people before. The Yaochi Li Family alone was like a massive mountain pressing down on his head, making him almost unable to breathe.

Once the news of Su Luo's death spread, it had been the talk of the town for the past few days. So as soon as Su Zian said this, it immediately spread through every street and alley of the Imperial Capital.

However, to Su Zian and Li Yaoyao's surprise, this incident actually caused the public to feel sympathy for Su Luo.

People's hearts always sympathize with the weak.

Previously, Su Luo had risen too quickly and was favored by His Highness Prince Jin, so many people held jealousy in their hearts and had criticisms of her.

But now that she was dead, Su Zian's hindsight action immediately made many people look down on him.

Moreover, rumors had started spreading from somewhere.

It was said that Su Zian had long known that Su Luo was not his biological daughter, but seeing Su Luo's bright future, he had kept it hidden.

But now that Su Luo was dead and no longer had any utility value, he exposed the inside story.

Once these words came out, Su Zian was immediately pushed to the center of the storm, bearing much infamy.

In the Su Residence, Su Zian was so angry that he swept everything off the table.

Still not satisfied, he struck down with his palm, and the entire long table cracked and split.

He had originally wanted that Stinky Girl Su Luo to be the one criticized, but he never expected that the one being criticized would turn out to be himself!

The Li Family of the Imperial Capital.

Li Yaoyao's brows furrowed tightly as she heard wave after wave of rumors from outside.

Besides the matter of Su Zian, there were also rumors that she, Li Yaoyao, had killed Su Luo.

Like Su Zian, she hadn't expected the rumors to deviate so much from her expectations.

An Yeming… it must be him!

Recalling those gentle and wise eyes, Li Yaoyao's fists at her sides clenched tightly.

Back then, he forced her to swear a poison oath, and now he was secretly turning the tide. An Yeming, what's so great about Su Luo that makes you all do this for her?

Li Yaoyao originally wanted to fight back, but the appointed time had already arrived.

This day was the time Great Master Rong Yun would announce his disciple.

In the Golden Throne Hall, not a single person was absent.

Su Luo had not appeared for the past few days, so everyone already believed the Yaochi Fairy's words and felt that Su Luo was truly dead.

Originally it was a competition between two people, but now that Su Luo was dead, the only remaining candidate was the Yaochi Fairy.
