Seeing that he seemed to have the intention to speak, Bai Yutang could not help but raise his eyebrows in surprise. "Unless what?"
Wen Wan lowered his eyes and shook his head. "I'm just randomly speculating. It's fine if you don't say it."
"There's nothing we can do about it now. Even if you're guessing randomly, it's still a clue, so just tell us."
Wen Wan hesitated for a moment, and then gave a somewhat helpless laugh. "Unless they have the support of a noble, and they have no idea who it is that wants to destroy the Sound Pavilion."
Bai Yutang was stunned.
Wen Wan knew that he was shocked by his response, so he could only spread out his hands and explain, "Because just based on the Yu Yin Pavilion's strength alone, it is impossible to reappear in the martial arts world as early as possible. They did not have the ability and did not dare to do so. Given that they knew who their enemies were, even if they were secretly supported by others, they would not dare to show their faces. "If they were to take another step back, they would appear on their own. If they had the ability to defend themselves against the threat of the martial arts world, there's a good chance that their enemies will come knocking on their door again — they most likely do not plan to live."
He had to admit that he was right: "That's true."
Wen Wan mumbled to himself in confusion, "Then the next question is another one. Since they no longer planned to live, why did they still refuse to take revenge? They did not even look like they wanted to take revenge. And why change their surnames, abandon their former reputations in the martial arts world, and fight to the death not to acknowledge their relationship with the Yu Yin Pavilion? "
"So why?"
Wen Wan said, "So, there should be three clues. No, it should not be said as a clue, it should be said as the key information that could be confirmed. Firstly, Feng Yunxuan was not afraid that the martial artists would take advantage of their unstable foundation and the fact that their Yuan Qi had been greatly damaged. Secondly, the women of Feng Yunxuan were not in a hurry to take revenge, and did not even plan on doing so. Third, they have hardened their hearts to change their name, so as to let the relationship between Feng Yunxuan and the Yuyin Pavilion speculate as to whether or not their enemies will come looking for us. "
Bai Yan Tang pondered for a moment, then nodded, "You're right."
Wen Wan spread out his hands again, with a helpless look on his face: "So when I think about it, I can only think of that strange deduction. So, so, so … Uncle, why are you looking at me like that? " As he was speaking, he saw the faint smile on the face of Bai Yan Tang, who was staring at him with a fixed expression. He couldn't help but be startled.
Bai Yutang retracted his gaze and faintly smiled, "I suddenly feel a little strange. Just who did you learn all of this from?"
Wen Wan somewhat embarrassedly touched his nose. With a blushing face, he asked, "Perhaps you learned it from my Master?"
"Your master and disciples, I've never seen anyone like you."
Wen Wan rubbed his nose, wishing he could get a layer of skin off his nose. He muttered in a low voice: "Being like me is not a good thing, it's still not good. There are a few who have come to make trouble for the world."
"Why do I feel that your master does not have such a heavy heart?"
Wen Wan knew that he was joking, but his face turned even redder, as if he had been scolded and knew his mistake. He then replied seriously, "Green leaves blue?"
Although he still had a mocking smile on his face, his gaze turned into one of relief, "Looking at you and Hao, I feel extremely gratified for Remnant Yu and her pupils."
Wen Wan was startled, and his expression slowly returned to normal. Even the smile that usually hung on his lips faded a bit. "Has Uncle seen Junior Ran?"
Bai Yan Tang seemed to be extremely exhausted. His nodding movements were so light that it was barely visible. "That's right, he's grown up as well."
"Her face is like jade, her figure is like a pine tree, her eyes are like cold stars, and she moves like a rabbit." Wen Wan gave a simple evaluation, but he didn't praise it too much, and he didn't hesitate to praise it too much either, "I originally only heard about it, but after seeing it I realized that his martial arts is outstanding. After all, he was the disciple of the Third Martial Uncle, and also the personal bodyguard of Crown Prince Qi. If Third Martial Aunt Huang Quan knew, he would be gratified. "
Bai Yutang silently nodded his head, then asked, "Have you chatted with him for a while longer?"
Wen Wan shook his head, "The last time he saw me was when he was four or five years old. I presume he had already forgotten about me? "After Third Martial Aunt went, I saw him from afar in the Light Wind Palace. His current appearance is quite similar to when he was in the past."
Bai Yutang was not surprised by this result, but he could not help but feel somewhat disappointed. "True."
Wen Wan smiled. "The deceased have passed away. Why do you mention the pain of the past? "Now that my appearance has changed so much, my status is completely different. If I were to reveal my identity, I might get into trouble."
"How similar do you think he is to the Soundsaver Pupil?"
Wen Wan was slightly startled, and then laughed: "I don't think he and Third Martial Uncle are alike, without Wen Wen Yin and Qian He, he would have been cold and sharp. At that time, Wen Ning had even said that Crown Prince Qi and Third Martial Uncle were very similar. "
"In terms of bearing alone, it is indeed imaginable. In terms of character, how could the pure and silly nature of Wenren Chuchu compare to the scheming and scheming of the Crown Prince? "It's Hao …"
Wen Wan automatically ignored half of his sentence, and casually asked, "What's wrong?"
Bai Yutang shook his head gently, his eyes seeming to be filled with pity or regret. "The way he looks at the Crown Prince is really just as similar as the way he looks when he looks at Brother Ran."
Wen Wan's face paled slightly, sighing silently, "I shouldn't have asked."
"It's fine." He used the pain to suppress the pain in his memory, then lifted his eyes to look at the gentle, humble, and guilt-filled young man in front of him. His head began to hurt even more, "Huan'er, I know you probably can't change this, but I still want to give you a word of advice."
Wen Wan was startled, and hurriedly said: "Uncle, please speak."
"Even if a person has all sorts of schemes in his heart, there will eventually come a time when he miscalculated. You are too tired and too stupid. Originally, you were almost alone, yet on your shoulders, you carried only your own life. In your opinion, if you die, there will only be a few more sighs. "But now?"
Wen Wan pursed his lips, saying nothing.
There was a complicated look in his eyes as he said, "Let's not talk about whether we can avenge your master, but only talk about these people who are still alive. The Wen family, Yu'er, and the remaining people of the Crippling Feather Sect. "Ming'er has lost all her martial arts, and you are the only one who is close to me in this world …"
"Uncle." Wen Wan's voice suddenly grew cold, but it quickly became calmer, "Don't say anymore."
He closed his eyes and tried his best to suppress the pain that was about to explode, as if he wanted to say no more.
After an unknown amount of time, when the headache in Bai Yan Tang had lessened, Wen Wan opened his mouth and coldly asked, "Uncle, do you have any confidence in letting me live?"
"And why do you insist that you won't be able to escape death?"
Wen Wan shook his head. "It's not that I don't think I can escape death, it's just that I don't want to escape. I want my life in exchange for their peace, not to live by the death of my uncle. "
"I'm letting you live, to accompany them and live a good life."
Wen Wan also asked: "It was uncle who wanted to break the net, in order to break the net, he did not hesitate to lose his life. If that's the case, then why do you have to be so lucky? "
Bai Yan Tang laughed coldly, "If you really want to die like this, then won't you want me and Ruan'er to be prepared to die as well?"
Wen Wan replied, "Uncle knows that's not what I meant."
"You and I will die together. What should we do then? What should we do if we catch all those fish that escaped our net and knew nothing about the dangers?" Other than you protecting them and letting them know of the danger, is there no other way? "
Wen Wan didn't have time to think before saying: "We can't let them know!"
"Why?" Seeing him shut up, she coldly answered: "Because you're afraid that if they find out, they'll go die with you."
Wen Wan slightly shook his head: "Uncle, you don't have to do this, you should also know that provoking me is useless to me."
Bai Yan Tang was silent for a moment, then stopped teasing him. He only said, "Tell me what you want to say first."
Wen Wan said, "They are different from me. It's not certain that my uncle will be able to protect them if he dies alone, but it's enough with me. And you and I no longer need victims. "
"Is that so?" Before Wen Wan could react, the latter half of his sentence had already come out, "I just think that you are afraid to bear the pain of living that is even more difficult than death itself."
Wen Wan's face suddenly paled. Even though he had a sharp tongue, he didn't have any words to refute.
"If you don't stay, what will happen to Wen Lun who knows the truth? What would happen to Bai? What would happen to Xia Ming? I dare say that at least Xia Ming and Wen Lun will accompany you to your death. As for Bai Zhen, I can't guarantee anything. Brother Wen, who has lost two of his sons, would most likely do the same thing as your younger brother. Having lost your last bit of support, the Broken Feather Sect … "
Wen Wan didn't react to his heart-wrenching words, and only smiled bitterly, and waited for him to finish: "Uncle, you're right, I really don't dare to bear the consequences of another calamity. Maybe if I die, they'll just leave me alone... But at the same time, I can't face their crying. I can't take it. "
"But you have to shoulder this burden. You have no other choice."
"Uncle said that about me, but when did uncle not run away like me?" Wen Wan had a smile at the corner of his eyes, but that smile was somewhat unreal. "Something that even uncle can't do, how can I bear it?"
"You are different from me. You can lose far more than I can. There are only a few people who are willing to risk their lives to protect me. "
Wen Wan raised his head and inhaled deeply, his face as pale as snow.
He felt that his words were too harsh, and he couldn't bear to do so, yet he could only force him to do so.
Looking at Wen Wan, Bai Yaotang couldn't help but fall into a trance. He could vaguely see the silhouettes of his best friends from when he was young. If his best friend was not here, how could he watch his best friend's disciple die because of him? He couldn't.
His gaze changed a few times, his fingers clenched a few times, and his forehead was locked a few times, but he still couldn't do it.
"The hatred of the dead, the tears of the living. If we had to shoulder the burden, neither uncle nor I could afford it. Since uncle has asked me to choose the latter, I shall obey. "
Bai Yan Tang looked at Wen Wan with a startled expression, revealing a slight smile. He secretly heaved a sigh of relief. "Then let me handle the former."
Wen Wan said, "After this matter is over, Zi Yu and I will go back, and everything that happened afterwards will be handed over to Uncle."
Bai Yan Tang nodded his head, "Do your best to avoid matters that require your presence. Apart from Jiang Wuyan, let me arrange the rest myself." Before the storm breaks out, make a decision. I'll hand over the Ling Ge Palace to you in the future as well. "
"Ling Ge Palace …" Even Wen Wan, who had long known that this trip would be devoid of business, couldn't help but feel a sharp pain in his chest upon hearing Bai Yutang's words. His voice was stuck in his chest, unable to come out.
"Alright." A long time later, he chewed up the promise that he had spat out after a thousand words, and it was as light as smoke.
— —
The tightly shut doors and windows opened without any wind. The guards outside did not make any noise as a black figure entered with large strides. The only thing left behind was an indistinct chant. The thirty-two words caused both Yun Kai and Tang Xiao's expression to change.
Mu Yu had already died, and the prophecy had been broken. Those who were aware of the thirty-two characters had already bent their fingers.
Those who knew were all already dead.
Every person who deserved to die was a threat to those who kept this secret.
It was clear to see that both Tang Xiao and Yun Kai could sense the dangerous aura exuding from this man.
The moment the black shadow entered the room, he immediately stopped. The hand by his side was covered by his sleeves, and no one knew if he would make a move in the next moment.
Tang Xiao was in the middle of blocking Yun Kai, his eyes cold and dangerous. His pale fingers were already pressed against Yun Kai's waist.
Regardless of whether he was friend or foe, Tang Xiao didn't want another person to appear before him who knew the prophecy. Especially since he was a living person, a stranger.
Moreover, he firmly believed that this person definitely wasn't here as a guest.
Thus, there was no need to know his identity and no need to ask about his purpose in coming here. As soon as he moved, the battle would begin.
The result of the battle, one word, death.
