Meng Kezhong was furious.
"How dare you!"
As he spoke, he stepped forward and raised his hand to slap Xia Mingjie.
"This isn't his fault." Xia Liang raised a hand to stop Meng Kezhong, then smiled. "Actually, Xia Mingjie only played a supporting role. The thing that truly brought misfortune upon your Old Meng Family was the trap within a trap set by Chen Xuandu!"
The Meng brothers were stunned.
"A trap within a trap?"
Xia Liang nodded. "Yes, this trap within a trap is what truly demonstrates Chen Xuandu's cleverness."
The Meng brothers eagerly perked up their ears, waiting for Xia Liang to continue.
Xia Liang pointed at the Tomb-guarding Beast in the Meng family cemetery.
"Dig here, and you'll understand what's going on."
Meng Kezhong nodded and began to dig with a shovel himself.
"Hmm?"
After just a few shovelfuls, his expression changed. Below the Tomb-guarding Beast, the soil was surprisingly damp.
Xia Liang chuckled.
"Now do you understand?"
