Tianxuan Academy.
More than half a month had passed. During this period of time, Yui Kimi had been training in seclusion. He didn't pay much attention to the matters of the outside world. Although nominally he was the dean of Tianxuan Academy, but because he didn't have any direct leadership in the academy, his authority had always been in a figurehead state. The ones who truly controlled the academy were still the powerful elders of the academy.
These people had once joined forces to force Yui Kimi to hand over Tianxuan Pearl, but they were directly refused by Yui Kimi. At that time, they almost came to blows, but in the end, both sides restrained themselves.
For the elders of Tianxuan Academy, although Yui Kimi controlled Tianxuan Pearl, but he couldn't control the entire academy. Tianxuan Pearl in the hands of Yui Kimi was more of a symbolic existence without any real meaning. Moreover, Lu Boyue had just died, and directly starting a war with the strongest disciple of the academy was really not a good thing. Moreover, behind Yui Kimi was the number one sect of water and fire countries, Luo River Sect. If these elders really wanted to make a move against Yui Kimi, they had to think twice before making a move.
And for Yui Kimi, these elders were just a group of fence-sitters. He was just too lazy to make a move against them now. Moreover, the time wasn't ripe, and he didn't want to create new problems at this time. Therefore, he didn't bicker with these people. When the time was ripe, when he could truly control the entire Tianxuan Academy, he wouldn't hesitate to rub these people on the ground.
As for the other four academies, each academy had the existence of people from [Xiao], such as Lin Long, Wei Wu, and so on. Their role was to break into the inner part of the academy's authority. As the person who survived the competition, and also the person with the strongest cultivation among all the disciples, their influence in the academy was still very strong.
Moreover, the inheritance of these academies was in the hands of Yui Kimi, so these four academies still didn't have a dean in name. They could only make decisions by the elders. This provided Lin Long and others with a very good entry point. When Hayashikawa returned, the five academies would be their first stronghold to seize.
On this day, when Yui Kimi finished her closed-door training, Luo Yuxi immediately rushed over.
"I've made some progress on the matter you asked me to investigate!" Luo Yuxi said directly after arriving at Yui Kimi's cultivation room.
"What … Oh? Go ahead, I'm listening! " Yui Kimi almost forgot what he had told Luo Yuxi before. So many things had happened recently that he could not take care of them all.
"Mu Li is indeed your brother, but he has the same father but different mothers!" Luo Yuxi said solemnly.
Hearing this, even though Yui Kimi was prepared, her expression changed slightly, and her heart sank.
"What exactly happened? Tell me in detail!"
Back then, when Hayashikawa awakened the bloodline of the Buddha Clan at the Elder's Altar in the Floating Spirit Region and obtained the Buddha Scripture, Yui Kimi asked Luo Yuxi to use the influence of the Luo River Sect in the Water Country to investigate the Mu Clan and Mu Li. Now, there were finally results.
"Although the bloodline of the Mu Clan has been passed down for a very long time, it seems that someone deliberately erased the history of this clan. Even our Luo River Sect has no way to find out the specific origin. Their history completely disappeared a thousand years ago!" Luo Yuxi said with a slight frown.
After hearing this, Yui Kimi nodded. He had already confirmed that the Mu Clan was a remnant bloodline of the Buddha Clan. As one of the three original clans, it was normal that they could not find out the ins and outs of the clan. Otherwise, the secret of the Mu Clan would have attracted the covetous eyes of countless strong people. How could they survive so peacefully in Yijiang City? Perhaps even Yui Kimi's father, Mu Zheng, did not know the origin of the clan.
"As for Mu Li, he was indeed an accident!" Luo Yuxi said with a complicated expression. "Back then, your father, Mu Zheng, and your mother, Qin Ruxin, did not have a child. Both of them were very anxious. Once, your father, Mu Zheng, was drunk and mistook your mother's personal servant for your mother. They had sex …"
"Because this matter was too difficult to talk about, and your mother's personal servant had always followed your mother. She knew the consequences of this matter being spread, so she concealed the matter and acted as if nothing had happened. No one discovered what happened that night, and your father had always thought that the person he had sex with was your mother."
"Originally, this matter was over, but unexpectedly, a few months later, that servant found out that she was pregnant. In order to not let the matter be exposed, she left the Mu Clan and gave birth to a baby boy alone. Unfortunately, she got pregnant before marriage. In addition to some other reasons, this servant girl fell seriously ill not long after giving birth to the boy. On her deathbed, she found someone to send the child back to the Mu Clan and told your mother, Qin Ruxin, what had happened. After knowing the truth, your mother did not blame anyone but instead treated the child as her own. She adopted him and raised him. And this child was Mu Li!"
"But family scandals should not be aired in public. Only your mother, Qin Ruxin, knew about Mu Li's identity. Your father, Mu Zheng, did not know what had happened. As for Mu Li, he should have found out the truth through other means. Therefore, he had a deep enmity towards the Mu Clan and Mu Zheng. It was only when you were born that he truly integrated into the clan and let go of the resentment in his heart. Perhaps it was you, his younger brother, that gave him some hope for the clan!"
After hearing all this, Yui Kimi could only smile helplessly and bitterly. He did not want to pursue the matter. It was no longer important who was right and who was wrong. What was important was that his family had been destroyed and everything no longer existed.
"When you were at Jinglan Ancient Lake, something happened in the Mu Residence and Mu Li was summoned back. We did not find out the details, but it seemed to be related to a black-clothed man. I speculate that it was most likely the Formation Master of Yuan Sect, Feng Yuan. As for what happened after that, the Luo River Sect could not find out. Yijiang City was destroyed and everything was drowned!"
After Luo Yuxi finished speaking, she sighed softly. There were many things that could only be explained by fate. Otherwise, when she interpreted it from a bystander's perspective, she would have realized how dramatic everything was.
"No matter what, I still choose to believe in Mu Li. I believe that he did not do such a thing out of his own will. I also believe that he will return one day!" Yui Kimi said softly.
"Let's hope so!" Luo Yu hoped for Yui Kimi and felt a pang of heartache for no reason.
No one knew the exact situation of Mu Li. Perhaps when this pair of brothers confronted each other in the Nakagawa Continent in the future, they would be able to uncover the true reason for the destruction of Yijiang City and the truth of the matter!
