"Yes, that's what I plan to do," Murong Chun said calmly.
Murong Liang said, "Aren't we going to wait until the critical moment to reveal the truth?"
"Now is the critical moment," Murong Chun said.
Murong Liang said anxiously, "Isn't it time for him to inherit the throne? Isn't it too early to reveal it now? We can't kill him with one blow! "
Murong Chun let go of his hand and stood up. He paced around the courtyard with his hands behind his back.
"Let's wait a little longer. He's famous now but it's just fame. He doesn't have any real power." Murong Liang said, "If we reveal his past now, the hill master won't be here so we won't chase him out of the mountain!"
Their plan was to use the discord between the hill master and the young master to expose the young master's scandals. They would anger the hill master and chase him out of the mountain. That way, they would be able to get rid of all obstacles.
Murong Liang was the most talented disciple in their generation. He had been hiding it all this time. As long as Zhuge Tian was chased out of the mountain, Murong Liang would amaze everyone again and become the next hill master.
Murong Chun sighed and looked up at the moon. "I'm just afraid that I won't have the chance to suppress him anymore."
"How could that be?" Murong Liang did not think much of it. "No matter how strong he is, he can forget about becoming the hill master after all those scandals!"
"Sigh …" Murong Chun shook his head. "It's not that simple."
"Father, are you afraid of him?" Murong Liang asked. "Are you afraid of him?"
Murong Chun turned to look at him and laughed. "Good boy, you're not worried at all. To be honest, you're no match for him!"
Murong Liang scoffed. "So what if he's strong? He can forget about becoming the hill master."
"I don't think he's interested in being the hill master anymore." Murong Chun shook his head. "He's so strong. I'm afraid he's not satisfied with staying in the mountain. As long as we reveal his past, he'll leave in a fit of pique. He won't have to go against the hill master."
"I see …" Murong Liang nodded slowly.
The older, the wiser. His father's move was accurate and very powerful. If he left the mountain, it would be easy to leave but difficult to return!
Murong Chun said, "I wonder if we can defeat him this time."
"It won't be a problem!" Murong Liang said confidently, "His crime is unforgivable!"
Murong Chun nodded slowly. "I'm worried that Xia Liyan will cause trouble!"
"The evidence is irrefutable. What can he do?" Murong Liang scoffed.
"What irrefutable evidence?" An indifferent voice suddenly sounded.
The two of them stiffened and slowly turned their heads.
They saw a silhouette standing in the shadow of the courtyard wall. He slowly walked out. The moonlight shone on him like water. They recognized him immediately. Murong Liang cried out involuntarily, "Zhuge Tian!"
Chu Li looked at him and nodded. "You look good. It seems like you've recovered well."
Murong Liang growled, "What are you doing here?!"
Chu Li looked at Murong Chun and smiled faintly. "Elder Murong, I initially wanted to get along with you peacefully. Unfortunately, a man has no intention to hurt a tiger, but a tiger has the intention to eat a man's heart!"
Murong Chun sighed. "Young lord, your Light-body Technique is amazing!"
Chu Li calmly replied, "Elder Murong, you flatter me. Let's talk about the irrefutable evidence."
"Young Lord, you must have heard wrongly." Murong Chun smiled. "There's no concrete evidence!"
Chu Li looked at him calmly.
Murong Chun smiled and looked back at him. He did not show any hostility or guilt.
Chu Li took a step forward and stood in front of Murong Liang. The tip of his sword was already at his throat. He turned to look at Murong Chun and said calmly, "Elder Murong, do you think I can kill your son with this sword?"
"Young Lord, please have mercy!" Murong Chun stretched out his hand.
Chu Li looked at Murong Liang who did not change his expression. "You're really something. It'll be a pity to kill you!"
Murong Liang laughed coldly. "Zhuge Tian, kill me if you dare!"
Chu Li looked at him faintly. His voice was still warm and magnetic as if he was chatting with an old friend. "Why wouldn't I dare to kill you?"
"You …" Murong Liang was speechless.
Chu Li glanced at Murong Chun. "It's not just you. I can even kill Elder Murong if I want to. Why wouldn't I dare? If anyone asks, I'll just say that we were learning martial arts and it was just a mistake. Are you going to kill me to pay with your life? "
"If you do that, everyone will be in danger. Crouching Bull Mountain will be divided." Murong Chun said slowly, "Crouching Bull Mountain will be finished."
Chu Li laughed. "What does it have to do with me whether Crouching Bull Mountain is finished or not? Do I need Crouching Bull Mountain? "
"Young Lord, you're wrong!" Murong Chun said. "Young Lord, no matter how strong you are, you're just one person. If you're up against a huge force, you'll still need the support of a sect. If not, you'll be killed with numbers!"
Chu Li thought for a while and nodded slowly. "That makes sense."
He put away his long sword. Murong Liang sighed in relief. His back was already covered in cold sweat.
Chu Li said, "I don't like to kill people either. I won't kill if I can avoid it. It depends on what you choose. If you want to be my enemy, then there's nothing I can do. I can only send you and your son to hell together. If you know what's good for you and become friends, that'll be the best. I just want to cultivate in peace. I don't want messy things to disturb me!"
"Yes, don't worry, Young Lord. We know what to do." Murong Chun quickly nodded. "I'll destroy all the evidence. I won't let anything out."
Chu Li smiled. "Elder Murong is indeed worthy of your position. You're a wise man. However, your son still has some hidden intentions. I hope he won't do anything stupid! I'm sorry to disturb you so late at night. Goodbye! "
After he finished speaking, he stepped into the shadow under the wall. He was silent as if he had melted into the shadows.
Murong Liang stared at the shadow.
Murong Chun sighed in relief and shook his head.
"Father?" Murong Liang asked. "Has he left?"
"Yes!" Murong Chun nodded.
He suddenly became calm as if he had become a different person.
"Father?" Murong Liang noticed that something was wrong and looked at him.
Murong Chun sighed calmly. "Another hill chieftain!"
Murong Liang looked at him in confusion.
Murong Chun looked at Murong Liang with a strange gaze. In the end, he sighed and said, "Bloodlines really can't be faked. A dragon gives birth to a dragon!"
Murong Liang was even more confused.
Murong Chun sighed. "At that moment, I felt like I saw the hill master … Liang 'er, this is fate. Just accept it!"
"Father, what do you mean? I don't understand." Murong Liang frowned.
Murong Chun said, "At first, I thought that the young lord was useless. Your chance has come. Your aptitude is the best among your peers. No one can compare to you. Now, it seems like I was wrong. The young lord is still the young lord!"
"Father, you've given up?" Murong Liang's eyes widened in disbelief.
Murong Chun said, "A wise man submits to circumstances. Do you think you can defeat the young lord?"
"Of course!" Murong Liang scoffed. "He only has martial arts. He doesn't have a brain!"
"I think you're the one who has no brain!" Murong Chun shook his head and said calmly, "His brain is much better than yours. You can't defeat him. It's just like me and the hill master. We'll have the same fate. Find a good woman and wait for the next generation!"
