Chapter 783 (2/2)

The other faction firmly believed in the conspiracy theory.

While the calamity faction investigated the old records, the conspiracy theorists tried to uncover which power was targeting the Changyun Clan.

However, after decades of investigation, the conspiracy theorists within the Changyun Clan not only failed to identify the culprit but also inexplicably suffered numerous casualties.

Some, without warning, descended into madness right before everyone’s eyes, causing their cultivation to regress.

There were even more serious cases, such as those who were supposed to endure their Heavenly Tribulation with full confidence and ample preparations, faced unexpected failure at the critical moment, resulting in their demise.

These incidents were not isolated occurrences; in recent times alone there had been several, not to mention those in the past.

Because of these incidents, an increasing number of people within the Changyun Clan started to believe they were cursed by the envy of the heavens.

Consequently, the proponents of the calamity theory within the Changyun Clan became even more active in seeking a solution.

They even raked up some past anecdotes of the Lin Family for reference.

After continuous investigations, those who believed in the calamity theory within the Changyun Clan proposed a seemingly viable plan…

That was to have a direct descendant female from the purest main bloodline of the Changyun Clan become the Dao Companion of the Lin Family heir.

Through the bond between the two, they aimed to transfer the family’s luck and thus surmount the calamity.

In the Changyun Clan, there was only one such direct descendant female, and that was Changyun Yuanshuang.

Therefore, the Changyun Clan approached Lin Jue, intending to match him with Changyun Yuanshuang as Dao Companions.

However, this seemingly perfect proposition wasn’t accepted by everyone within the Changyun Clan.

This included Changyun Yuanshuang’s grandfather.

Yuanshuang’s grandfather was a firm believer of the conspiracy theory and also the leading figure of that faction.

He was well aware of Yuanshuang’s relationship with Lu Youjiu.

And he greatly approved of their union and was very willing to facilitate their coming together.

If Yuanshuang’s grandfather were present, he would have never agreed to the arrangement.

Unfortunately, her grandfather sustained serious injuries in an earlier investigation.

Due to the severity of his injuries, he had no choice but to go into seclusion to heal.

Once he entered seclusion, the conspiracy faction lost their pillar, and many among them gradually changed their beliefs, slowly starting to believe in the calamity theory as well.

The entire conspiracy faction was soon drowned out by the voices of the calamity faction…

If Yuanshuang’s grandfather were here, he would certainly not have compromised, nor would he have allowed Yuanshuang to marry the heir of the Lin Family.

The calamity faction was well aware of this situation.

So they planned to act swiftly and decisively, aiming to settle everything before Yuanshuang’s grandfather could leave his seclusion.

Once the marriage was completed, and the rice was turned to porridge, it would be too late, even if Yuanshuang’s grandfather emerged from seclusion.
