Chapter 687: Public Trial (2)Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

In that era, there were no phones, computers, or deliveries. Most of the time, they communicated through letters. Often, before a letter reached Dongfang Sile, Mo Xiao would lose patience and run to meet him.
They were best friends.
The rules for holding a wedding in the Blazing Realm Continent were somewhat different from those of the Divine Moon Empire. The groom wasn’t allowed to meet the bride in advance before the wedding ceremony. He had to send his biological brother or his most trusted friend to welcome the bride. Dongfang Sile had two biological brothers, but he still chose Mo Xiao.
From this, it could be seen how much Dongfang Xile trusted Mo Xiao.
Mo Xiao’s identity was his greatest secret. She Ying was the woman Mo Xiao kept in his heart. These two were Mo Xiao’s greatest weaknesses. He had roamed the Holy Spirit Continent for hundreds of years but had never revealed these things to anyone.
However, not only had he brought Dongfang Sile to the Abyssal Origin Forest to see She Ying, but he had also drunk and chatted with Dongfang Sile on the night of the full moon while telling him about his background.
Dongfang Sile was Mo Xiao’s only good friend in his life, the kind he could entrust his life to.
Mo Xiao stared at the words on the envelope and those distant memories surfaced in his mind again.
Dongfang Xiagui picked up the letters on the ground and forcefully threw them into Mo Xiao’s arms. He roared, “These are the letters you wrote to my great-grandfather!” He threw a red knot into Mo Xiao’s arms and said, “This is the token my great-grandfather gave you when you helped him marry my great-grandmother!”
Then, he threw a sworn letter with two red thumbprints on it at Mo Xiao’s face. “This is the oath letter you wrote when you became sworn brothers with my great-grandfather!”
“Mo Xiao, my great-grandfather treated you as his brother. How could you be so heartless to him?!”
The oath letter slid down Mo Xiao’s face, revealing a pair of slightly red eyes.
Mo Xiao caught the paper letter. It was an oath letter written in sheepskin. The calligraphy on it was already mottled. The two blood-colored handprints had been bitten by insects, and there were some spots. Mo Xiao gently stroked the letter on it. He muttered softly, “Today, Mo Xiao and Dongfang Sile will become brothers. Although we have different surnames, since we are sworn brothers, we should work together and improve the world…”
When Mo Xiao read this oath letter, the scene of him and Dongfang Sile kneeling on the Black Dome and becoming sworn brothers appeared in his mind.
The Black Dome was the highest mountain on the continent. That day, they stood on the peak of the mountain and promised the heavens and earth that they would protect the world in the future.
But he personally crushed Dongfang Xile’s heart!
Even if it was that person who killed Dongfang Sile back then, Mo Xiao still couldn’t forgive himself.
When Dongfang Xiagui heard Mo Xiao recite this oath, he was so angry that his entire body was trembling. “Shut up!” Dongfang Xiagui snatched the oath letter away and tore it into pieces in front of Mo Xiao. He stepped on the oath letter and spat while cursing, “You, Mo Xiao, are so despicable and evil. Your name is unworthy of being written with my great-grandfather’s name!”
Mo Xiao stared at the sheepskin fragments all over the ground and slowly closed his eyes.
“Mo Xiao, let me ask you, did you kill my great-grandfather?!” Dongfang Xiagui looked at Mo Xiao with anticipation.
He still hoped that Mo Xiao would shake his head.
As long as Mo Xiao shook his head, Dongfang Xiagui would convince himself to believe Mo Xiao and find the real culprit as soon as possible.
Everyone’s gazes were locked on Mo Xiao.
Some people hoped that Mo Xiao would quibble, while others hoped that he would admit it.
“… It was me,” Mo Xiao said.
Hearing this, Dongfang Xiagui closed his eyes in resignation, and the conference room fell silent again.
It was really him!
Mo Xiao’s eyes were still closed as he said, “Dongfang Sile was indeed killed by me. At that time, I was pursued by experts in the Divination Continent. I was seriously injured and was forced to jump into a chaotic space-time called the Dragon Abyss Lock. There, my spiritual power and soul were seized, and my soul was almost destroyed… In order to return to my peak strength and survive, I lured Dongfang Sile into a cave in the Fire Spring Mountain Range. When he wasn’t paying attention, I poked his chest with my bare hands and crushed his heart…”
After hearing Mo Xiao personally tell them about the evil deeds he had done to Dongfang Sile, all the Beast Tamers were shocked. Even Sheng Lingfeng revealed a look of disbelief.
