System Journey to Godhood - Chapter 130

“Wait a minute.”

“What do you want?” Elder Xian frowned, squinted his eyes, and looked at Snowy sharply before asking with a cold voice.

Snowy wasn’t affected by his attitude and continued speaking while pointing her finger at Xian Qingruo, “I have a bet with Xian Bu Yu previously, if I win the bet that lady over there will have to run naked around the city, now that he died isn’t it means that I automatically win the bet?”

Nobody was surprised by this development. In fact, they were expecting this to happen. After all, the reason for this accident happening was the bet between Xian Bu Yu and Snowy. Although they thought that it was reckless of her to confront Elder Xian on this matter, it was still understandable.

Such a genius like Snowy wouldn’t stay silent when she suffered such grievances, especially since she had great backing behind her. If they were in her shoes, they might do the same thing. Who could bear the feeling of being treated as a powerless pawn?

While they were mistaking Snowy for some kind of hot-blooded protagonist, they were correct about one thing: Snowy won’t let them go easily.

As soon as Elder Xian heard Snowy’s words, his face sank and his expression darkened.

As for Xian Qingruo, her face had long since lost its color. She sobbed and cried pitifully.

“You… even in this situation, you only about your bet? You’re a heartless devil!”

“Why shouldn’t I? Now, do you want to undress yourself or do I need to help you?” Snowy didn’t budge from Qingruo’s pitiful appearance nor her accusation of her.

“Hey Snowy… you really don’t need to do it yourself,” said Feng Xue grumpily. “It’s okay if another person does it. Just not you.”

“So, that’s what you worry about, huh?” Lin Ming shook his head helplessly, watching her junior sister’s antics.

“Don’t go too far, Disciple Snowy,” Elder Xian said calmly, not yelling or roaring, but his voice sent shivers down the listener’s spine. He was truly angered by Snowy’s words.

Elder Yang pinched his furrow for the headache that soon came. He tried to coax Snowy, “Snowy, you need to be magnanimous. Xian Bu Yu has already passed away, so we don’t need to make the matter worse. Let’s call it off here. What do you think?”

“Yeah, it’s true sister Snowy. Why don’t we stop here?” said one of the disciples on the side.

“I agree, Sister Snowy, you don’t need to lower yourself to their level.” Another one jumped in.

“There’s no need to push people into corners, Snowy. Isn’t it better to make friends than enemies?” One of the elders also spoke their opinion.

The people who were close to Snowy didn’t say anything to stop her. After all, they were also furious at the unscrupulous Xian Clan, who, after causing problems for Snowy, want to leave without any consequences.

Only Feng Xue knew Snowy pretty well and that she knew the Xian Clan, especially Xian Qingruo, would have to experience something worse than death.

After all, Snowy’s enemies never had a good end.

“I don’t understand.” Uttered Snowy.

“What do you mean, Snowy?” asked Elder Xian in confusion.

“You tell me to be magnanimous, but all of this farce happened exactly because I was being magnanimous by letting this girl off when she bullied Chen Xiaoyun. If I fall into the same hole twice, doesn’t it mean I’m stupider than a donkey?”

Her words were so sharp that no one could refute her. The one who had previously spoken quickly shrunk their neck and retreated to the back in shame.

“What do you mean? She bullied Chen Xiaoyun? Who is this Chen Xiaoyun anyway?”

“She is one of our Meng family’s people.” Meng Qi stepped forward as soon as Xiaoyun was dragged into this matter. She didn’t blame Snowy for it because she know that Snowy tried to bring her justice.

Second Elder glared at Meng Qi but didn’t say anything afterward. In the end, he didn’t want to make this a bigger mess than it already was.

Confronting Meng Qi in the public meant that he pushed the Meng Clan, who were in the neutral faction, to Sect Master’s side. He didn’t want such a thing to happen. He decisively took a step back and abandoned Qingruo.

“Disciple Chen Xiaoyun, step forward.”

“T-this… t-this lowly disciple is Chen Xiaoyun, First Elder.” Due to nervousness, Chen Xiaoyun stumbled and stammered.

“Hmm. Can you tell me what this is about?”

“T-this… I…”

Meng Qi patted her back to encourage her, “It’s okay, Yun’er. Just tell the Fisrst Elder honestly.”

“But…”

Sensing the fear and hesitation in her words, Feng Xue decided to take the matter herself.

“If you can’t say it, let me be the one who says it.”

“Okay, little Xue, you tell me.”

“At that time, Snowy and I….” Feng Xue nodded and recalled the event in the restaurant without omitting anything. After a few minutes, she finished her story, “And that’s the gist of it.”

“Is this true?” asked Elder Yang in a gentle tone to Chen Xiaoyun, which was replied to by her with a weak nod.

He turned to Xian Qingruo with an attitude opposite to when he talked to Xiaoyun, “What do you say about this?”

“I…I… t-this has nothing to do with me! Xian Bu Yu did it on his own initiative! You can’t blame me!” Qingruo frantically tried to defend herself and put the blame entirely on Xian Bu Yu.

“Do you think we are three-year-old children that can be fooled by such a lousy excuse? And who was complaining previously about putting the blame on the deceased person? Heh, I don’t know if the Xian clan can be this shameless…” Feng Xue chuckled, and her voice was full of mockery.

“Enough!” bellowed Elder Xian furiously. He and his clan had already lost their faces badly and didn’t want to continue making a fool of themselves. “Disciple Snowy, what do you want to put this matter to an end?”

“How do you think it should be done?” asked Snowy back.

He realized that Snowy had thrown the ball back to him and let him “offer” the prize for offending her.

This way, if the punishment was too light, he would lose the respect of the public and be mocked as a shameless person.

On the other hand, if the punishment was too heavy, he would lose the confidence of his clan since he couldn’t protect his own family. No matter how he did it, he still needed to suffer a big loss.

So what should he choose?
