In this world, there was no way paper could cover fire. Therefore, even though the Punishment Hall kept the matter of Xiao Chen and the others a secret, there were still people who learned about what had happened in Sunless Mountain the next day, including Bai Qiuran.
Inside the cave, Bai Qiuran smashed everything in the room and roared furiously, "Damn it, Xiao Chen, Xiao Chen, you're courting death …"
Early in the morning, Bai Qiuran learned that Xiao Chen and the others had killed Wang Jue and the others on Sunless Mountain. Bai Qiuran was immediately enraged when she heard the news. To vent her anger, she even killed two servants in her cave abode.
For Bai Qiuran, the reason why he was so angry was not because Wang Jue and the others had been killed, but because Xiao Chen had dared to kill them. Moreover, he had directly rushed into Sunless Mountain to do so. This was undoubtedly a slap to his own face, making Bai Qiuran feel ashamed.
Bai Qiuran was venting her anger. In the room, there was another person besides Bai Qiuran. This person was wearing the Holy Son uniform of the Heavenly Yin Yang Sect. His face was like jade, and his looks were not bad. However, his skin was as white and smooth as a woman's, and there was a hint of Yin Qi between his brows. He clearly lacked the masculinity of a man.
This young man who looked like a woman was called Bai Qiuyue. It was a very feminine name, but he was a real man. This much was certain. At the same time, Bai Qiuyue was Bai Qiuran's younger brother.
Of the two brothers, Bai Qiuyue's cultivation talent was clearly inferior to Bai Qiuran's. Otherwise, he wouldn't just be a Quasi-Holy Son. Moreover, among the many Holy Sons of the Heavenly Yin Sun Sect, Bai Qiuyue was ranked at the bottom. His strength couldn't even compare to Wang Jue's group of four.
However, even so, the disciples of the Heavenly Yin and Yang Sect were still extremely fearful of Bai Qiu Yue. This fear did not come from Bai Qiu Yue's identity, nor did it come from Bai Qiu Yue's strength. Instead, it came from her methods and intelligence.
There was a stark contrast between Bai Qiuran and Bai Qiuran. Bai Qiuran was extremely talented and had become a candidate on the Saint Rankings at such a young age. However, while his talent was extraordinary, his intelligence was also lacking.
He had a violent temper and didn't have a plan when doing things. He only knew how to fight and kill. It could be said that Bai Qiuran was a brute.
As for Bai Qiuyue, he might not be as talented in cultivation compared to his brother, but his mind and schemes were endless. Most of the time, Bai Qiuyue was the one who handled many of Bai Qiuran's matters, and he never made the slightest mistake.
Because of Bai Qiu Yue's intelligence and ruthlessness, many disciples of the Yin and Yang Sect privately called Bai Qiu Yue the White Snake, implying that Bai Qiu Yue was as insidious as a snake. He would always stare at his enemies in the dark, waiting for an opportunity to kill them in one strike.
Bai Qiuyue didn't say anything to console the furious Bai Qiuran. She waited until Bai Qiuran stopped what she was doing before walking up to Bai Qiuran.
Bai Qiuyue Qiuyue Bai Qiuyue's voice was calm and there was not the slightest hint of sadness or joy. Hearing Bai Qiuyue's words, Bai Qiuran nodded with a gloomy expression.
Seeing Bai Qiuran nod, Bai Qiuyue said indifferently, "Brother, this matter isn't as simple as it seems."
Compared to Bai Qiuran's anger, Bai Qiuyue had clearly seen something deeper from this matter. Hearing his brother's words, Bai Qiuran's expression became serious and he said in a deep voice, "Come, let's talk in the secret room."
The two brothers went to the secret room. It was airtight and there was no need to worry about anyone eavesdropping. Moreover, there were many formations around the secret room. As long as someone approached, Bai Qiuran would be able to sense it immediately.
In the dark secret room, Bai Qiuran and Bai Qiuyue sat opposite each other. Bai Qiuran looked at his younger brother and asked. "Speak."
Bai Qiuyue nodded slightly and said.
"According to the information, the reason Xiao Chen and the others could enter Sunless Mountain was because they had the ancestor's token. Moreover, the token is confirmed to be real. In other words, the ancestor personally gave Xiao Chen the token. That's why Xiao Chen and the others could enter Sunless Mountain so smoothly and attack Wang Jue and the others," Bai Qiuyue said slowly.
Hearing that, Bai Qiuran was somewhat confused and said impatiently, "Don't beat around the bush. If you have something to say, just say it."
Clearly, Bai Qiuran still hadn't reacted. Seeing that, Bai Qiuyue's expression darkened and he said solemnly,
"In other words, the ancestor tacitly approved of this entire matter. The ancestor tacitly approved of Xiao Chen and the others killing Wang Jue and the others."
"The ancestor tacitly approved? Why? Wang Jue and the others are Quasi Chosen. How could the ancestor tacitly approve of Xiao Chen killing them? "Bai Qiuran said in disbelief.
It had to be said that Bai Qiuran's intelligence was indeed worrying. Seeing that, Bai Qiuyue could only make things clearer.
"Actually, all of this is related to you, big brother. The matter between you and Xiao Chen is now known throughout the entire Taiyang Sect. The ancestor clearly knows about this matter as well."
"There's no room for reconciliation between the two of you, so the ancestor naturally has to choose one of you. Judging from the current situation, the ancestor should have chosen Xiao Chen and given up on you, big brother. So, Xiao Chen can kill Wang Jue and the others this time. In that case, if Xiao Chen kills you in the future, the ancestor won't say anything either …" Bai Qiuyue said slowly.
At this point, no matter how stupid Bai Qiuran was, he knew that the ancestor Yin-yangzi had given up on him.
But why? He was a Chosen on the Holy Rankings. How could Yin-yangzi give him up and choose that outsider, Xiao Chen?
"Why? Why did the ancestor choose Xiao Chen?" Bai Qiuran couldn't help but ask in confusion, unwillingness, and anger.
Facing Bai Qiuyue's question, a cold glint flickered in his eyes. "It's probably related to Xiao Chen's talent."
It had to be said that Bai Qiuyue was indeed smart. He hadn't even met Xiao Chen yet, but he'd already guessed most of what had happened.
He'd even guessed why Yin-yangzi had chosen Xiao Chen, and it was completely correct.
Logically speaking, Xiao Chen's combat strength and cultivation were inferior to Bai Qiuran's, but Yin-yangzi had still chosen Xiao Chen in the end. Then there was only one possibility, and that was that Xiao Chen's talent was higher than Bai Qiuran's.
And Bai Qiuran was already a Chosen on the Holy Rankings. For Yin-yangzi to choose Xiao Chen based on his talent alone, it was clear that Xiao Chen's talent wasn't just a little bit higher than Bai Qiuran's. Instead, it was on a whole new level.
