Bai Yutang was not surprised by his change, only patiently waiting for the result of his thoughts.

After half an incense's time, Wen Wan finally opened his mouth: "It seems this is the Marquis' choice."

Bai Yan Tang nodded his head and didn't say anything more about the matter. He continued with another matter, "Zhen'er said that someone from the Crippling Feather Sect came over to steal this box."

Wen Wan was stunned. "Are you sure it's someone from the Crippling Feather Sect?"

"I did not ask. "Since we know that the person from the sect is Zhao Qingyan, we can only ask whether that is true or not from him." After a pause, he asked, "What do you think?"

Wen Wan pondered for a moment, then looked up and said: "I think it is possible. Although the Crippling Feather Sect was killed by Xue Tu, there were a lot of people who were not in the sect at the time. If these people didn't run out to die, they wouldn't be found. Based on their temperament, they would definitely take revenge, but they would not be so reckless and hasty. Thus, there are probably many people who managed to survive and want to take revenge for my master. "

"What do you think this represents?"

Wen Wan shook his head. "It's hard to say. First of all, he had to know whether or not he was a member of the Crippling Feather Sect. Secondly, he didn't know what level his martial arts was at, nor did he know the relationship between his uncle and his master. If he is following my master's heart and soul, then the things that he came to steal must have been laid out behind him by an old friend. "

"Can you guess who 'old friend' is?"

Wen Wan thought for a moment and then gave his answer. "Bewitching Butterfly Town or Puppet Palace."

"Why?"

Wen Wan continued, "The Marquis Mansion, Ling Ge Palace, Crippling Feather Sect, Light Wind Palace, Tang Sect, Puppet Palace, Sound of the Yu Yin Pavilion, and the Bewitching Butterfly Town. These powers are the sects that are the most entangled with these matters back then. "

"It was the previous generation's Trojan horse that had the Dragoncry Sword reappear in the martial arts world. The Ling Song Palace accepted the mission of transporting the Dragoncry Sword and was robbed en route." The chord of the melody evades the rivers and lakes, leaving the ancient and modern sacrifices to the wine. "Bewitching Butterfly Dream Awakened Nine Prefectures. The Trojan Horse laughs until it laughs at all matters under the heavens." These four people were also known as the Four Poisons Tribe of the Jianghu. This sword was the weakness behind these four powers being able to exterminate their clans. Thus, they had to find this sword. My uncle, my master, the Vice Palace Master of the Light Wind Palace, Ran Tingxiao, and the previous Sect Master of the Tang Clan, Tang Wu were best friends. And the Puppet Palace, for the sake of the Wine Hall and some other reasons, was also involved in this matter. "In the end, it became a calamity that involved more than half of the martial arts world."

Wen Wan slightly narrowed his eyes. "So, there are only these few sects who know the truth. Currently, the Marquis Mansion, Yuyin Pavilion, and the Crippling Feather Sect had all been massacred. It could be said that not even chickens and dogs were left, and the remaining people couldn't do much. Palace Lord Ran had been faked his death, the Hall of Poison had changed its owner, and the Tang Sect was outside of the event. The possibility of the appearance of these three factions once again was next to nothing. Bewitching Butterfly Town and Puppet Palace were indeed weakened, but after ten years of adjustment and a deep foundation, they had recovered at least half of their strength. Before, there was a blood feud, and after that, there was the fear of the clan being exterminated. With the appearance of the Fiery Horse Manor, those people hidden in the darkness holding their breath and holding their breath, lying in wait for the flight, will no longer be able to hold their cool. "

"However, fighting alone is no different from a moth flying into a flame. There is no use in this matter, you can only give up your life."

"And those who have enough strength to go all out and fight with their backs against the river do not have absolute confidence in winning. With these people who did not care about their lives and did not threaten them, why not help them? As for us who were lucky enough to escape from the extermination of our families, even if we know that we will be used to become the first chess piece to die, what can we do about it? If you want to take revenge, there's no better option. "

At this point, Wen Wan gritted his teeth, revealing a painful expression, but soon recovered his calm. "So, aside from Uncle's Ling Ge Palace, only Puppet Palace and Bewitching Butterfly Town have the strength to do so."

"Indeed."

Wen Wan lowered his gaze, but soon raised it again. "Uncle wants to form an alliance with them?"

"Just as you said, the only thing I can do is to fight with my back, so how likely is it that I will win?" "Not much."

Wen Wan said, "These days, the three forces can be said to be evenly matched. If we want to cooperate, we have to compete for the advantage and disadvantage."

"Then didn't you already think of it the day you showed me that cloth silk? "Tell me, who do you want to choose?"

Wen Wan muttered to himself, "I believe that the goal of these two forces is not revenge, but to preserve one's life. In other words, it was only for the sake of taking out the Dragoncry Sword, so it was impossible to make such a desperate move. If I want to minimize my losses, the best way I can think of is to use Zhao Qingyan to take out the Dragoncry Sword. "

"Continue."

Wen Wan replied, "There's Lu Sobbing, Blood Tears, and Tang Xiao Foolish over at the Puppet Palace." In Bewitching Butterfly Town, there was only Jiang Wuyan. As for his uncle's side, other than his uncle and marquis Mu, it was also possible for him to pull the head of the Ran Palace, or even Sect Head Zhuo. From this point of view, we have to have the upper hand. "

"It seems so, but you must know the difference between a gentleman and a formidable one. What do you think the Ran Tong Xuan will choose? "

Wen Wan was startled, and then his expression changed.

"Hearing Tong's death, Zhao Qingyan kept it in his heart, full of guilt. Tong Xuan was like a teacher, like a father, and like a friend to him. In addition, he was also Ran Hao's follower of ten years. Even if all of us add up, we still won't be able to match up to a single person like Tong Xuan. How was it possible for the Tong Xuan to use Zhao Qingyan? "Also, you saw Mu Xi's decision."

Wen Wan's face adjusted to a more normal expression. "This letter should be known to no one except me and my uncle."

Bai Yutang asked: "Then how do you let Mu Xi express her attitude?"

Wen Wan said, "The second minister obeys my uncle's words, and I am confident that I can convince him of that. Adding me and Big Brother Xia, are you afraid that Qing Han won't believe you? "

He was silent. After a moment, he asked, "Who do you wish to cooperate with?"

Wen Wan opened his mouth and closed it again. He let out a long sigh and didn't try to dissuade her, "I choose Jiang Wuyan."

Bai Yutang seemed surprised by his choice. After a momentary pause, he asked, "Why?"

Wen Wan continued, "Because the only person in the Puppet Palace who has a good relationship with the Lord Ran is Mo Huaijin, but he is already dead. Compared to a dead man, Jiang Wuyan, as the close friend of the Ran Palace Master, is obviously more important to him. "

"Are you still thinking about Tong Xuan?"

Wen Wan replied immediately, "Of course, only he will be able to protect us. At least we will be able to leave him with a chance at survival."

Once more, the white-haired young man was speechless.

Wen Wan stood up. "Uncle, this is the Cui Family's property around the West Lake. The next item is the shop that I want. Take a look. After choosing the first card, there are still a lot of things that I haven't dealt with. I have discussed it with Xia Zhao and decided to settle it in the next few days as much as possible. "After that, if there are no other arrangements, I would like to go to the main hall of the Wind Cloud Pavilion and have a chat with you in detail."

He placed a neatly written piece of paper in front of him and said, "I've already sent a letter to give it to father. I explained the situation to him and asked him to wait for me at the manor in his hometown. In order to prevent my father from being suspicious, I left about a month later and went straight back to Feng Yunxuan. As for Jiang Wuyan, if uncle needs her, I will speak with her. I will find out who came to steal the box. Don't worry, Uncle. "

Wen Wan finished speaking in a single breath, let out a breath, and then asked: "The young prince just came back today, so I plan to go and see him. If uncle has nothing else, I will take my leave first.

"You've said everything, so what else can I do?" "Go ahead, I'll think about it. I'll give you an answer later."

Wen Wan lightly shook his head. "I will listen to Uncle's orders. You don't have to make things difficult for me." Without another word, he bowed slightly and left.

Bai Yan Tang looked at the door that had once again closed. He leaned back in his chair, exhausted, and raised his head. A huge wave of exhaustion swept through his entire body.

A man with a gentle smile and clear eyes appeared. One... He was a scholar who had never complained in the slightest, a scholar who was obviously weak yet didn't want others to worry about him. He silently accompanied himself across half of the Jianghu, quietly taking care of the huge Light Wind Palace in the absence of the Ran Tong Pavilion. He silently cried in a corner that no one else could see, but he always treated everyone with a quiet and gentle smile, without any complaints.

He didn't die because of her, but because of her.

She could have saved him, but she missed that final moment of regret.

This kind of untainted person should be staying in the Light Wind Palace, guarding the breeze, watching the Ran Tong Pavilion stand at the peak of the martial arts world, watching the famous Light Wind Palace. Then, together with his favorite scrolls of flowers and plants, he watched the passing of time as spring passed and autumn arrived. He had no regrets in this life.

Yet he had brought him to the martial arts world, to this muddy and dirty place.

How could he not know Wen Wan's words?

But how could he let others pay his debt?

Ran Tingxiao was no longer here. How could she allow him to atone for her sins?

The innocent had been dragged down by him, but in the end, he had not been able to leave. This way, what qualifications did he have to use to threaten the Ran Tong Pavilion again?

In his memory, that day was the sky dyed with blood.

The moment he fell off the horse, he heard the child's sorrowful cry, one that seemed to tear the sky apart and was filled with blood. That was … Young Prince!

He couldn't care about the mud that was splashed all over his clothes and boots, he could only run inside with all his might.

He saw the Ran Tong Pavilion on the ground, Zhao Qingyan desperately struggling in the bailiff's arms, and … His eyes were filled with blood.

"Bao Zheng! If I do not avenge this enmity, I swear I will not be a human! " Zhao Qingyan, who was slightly weaker than a normal child, had incredible strength. The two bailiffs could only reluctantly hug him.
