Old Master did not hear the words that followed, his entire being stunned upon hearing that Xiao Min had resorted to the Xiao family's taboo techniques—moves so dire they could harm the enemy greatly but at great cost to oneself.
But Xiao Min had actually used such means against her own granddaughter?
In major families, there is generally a distinction between the direct lineage and the side branch, with members of the direct lineage holding an incomparably noble status. How could the side branch ever compare to the direct lineage?
Yet that damned Xiao Min, a woman from a side branch, actually sought to kill a girl from the direct lineage?
It was an utterly capital offense!
Old Master was thoroughly enraged, even forgetting to ask how, after Xiao Min had wielded the Xiao family's taboo, Mu Ruyue had still managed to defeat her…
Madam Sheng Yue continually observed Old Master's expression; seeing his face instantly turn livid, a slight smile curved at the edges of her lips.
