Chapter 479 (1/2)
Baili Yu looked towards him with a faint smile. ”You should be asking who Yin Shenger's older brother is.”
”Haa, so troublesome!” Su Yi rolled his eyes. ”Then who's Yin Shenger's older brother?”
”Lan Jia.”
Su Yi almost coughed blood when he heard this. ”This, this…”
He wasn't even able to get a sentence out and just stared wide-eyed in shock as he waited for an explanation.
Baili Yu didn't try to keep things suspenseful and just shifted into a comfortable lying position as he said, ”Lan Jia is someone of the Gold Tribe. The surname of the pure-blooded Gold Tribe members is Yin. Yin Lanjia and Yin Shenger were biological siblings and at that time, they hadn't gone back to the Saint Tribes yet. At that time, they were serving as the right and left defenders of the Demonic Sect. Later they got to know the Xuanyuan Tribe Saint Maiden, Jun Yuner, and the Wood Tribe Saint Maiden, Baili Shuyin. Once they found out that they were descendants of the Saint Tribe, Lan Jia decisively brought his younger sister back to the Saint Tribes, which led to the later incidents.
”I have heard Yuner talk about this before. Back then, those youngsters sure were good at causing an uproar. Look at them and now look at the current younger generation. Tsk tsk…” remarked Su Yi with a sigh.
The only person in the world that could make such a remark was probably Su Yi, this unbelievably old fart. Not only had he watched that group of youngsters go through their most golden age, when he was young, his generation had created an even more brilliant and crazy era!
However, even the most brilliant age came to an end. Even if you were the strongest of a generation, in the end you would still return to ashes, to earth.
He had seen too many eternal partings, so he should've already gotten past all of this and stopped asking about the secular world. However, just as he was about to go into seclusion, an extremely important woman appeared in his life—Jun Yuner.
When he recalled what happened back then, Su Yi's thoughts started drifting off and he didn't hear any of what Baili Yu said next. By the time he snapped out of his daydream, Baili Yu already had his eyes closed and looked to be napping.
He glanced towards Mu Ye. That ice-cold face was currently looking outside with a trace of surprise.
He followed Mu Ye's gaze curiously and found that it had already become night.
The sun setting definitely wouldn't cause someone with facial nerve paralysis like Mu Ye to show surprise. It was probably that strange blood red light filling the sky in the distance that had caused it.
”Frick! What the hell is that?” Su Yi, despite all his years of life, had never seen such a strange scene. At first glance, he thought it was due to the setting sun, but when he looked closely, he found that the light was coming from the ground.
His voice was very loud, so Baili Yu slowly opened his eyes. When he saw the red light that reached the skies, he closed his eyes again. ”This is a blood sacrifice.”
When Su Yi heard how calm his tone was, he thought it wasn't anything to worry about and sighed in relief as he patted his chest.
”If we don't stop it now, it'll cause a calamity!” However, before Su Yi could even fully relax, Mu Ye, who had been silent this entire time, spoke. Still, it wasn't possible to assess the severity of the situation since his tone was cold and emotionless as always.
Su Yi couldn't tell how bad things were so he yawned in an unconcerned manner. ”What calamity? It might just be a weird astronomical phenomenon.”
Mu Ye swept a cold glance over. ”This isn't an astronomical phenomenon.”
”If it's not an astronomical phenomenon, then what is it? Why don't you say something?” Su Yi also glanced at him. He was tired of how terse Mu Ye was with his words.
Mu Ye didn't even glance at him and got up to head outside.
”Sect Leader Mu.” Baili Yu called for him to stop. ”Even if you go now, it's too late.”
Mu Ye didn't turn around. ”It won't be.”
Baili Yu stood up as well. The red light in the distance was reflected in his eyes, making him look even more demonically charming. ”I'd like to hear the details.”
”We'll still make it in time if we stop it now.”
”Why isn't Sect Leader Mu willing to tell the entire truth?”
Su Yi looked between them as they made this vague exchange. He was so curious that it felt like there was a flame burning at his heart. What exactly were they talking about?
It was clearly two kids whose ages couldn't add up to be even half of his, but they actually knew more than he did. Su Yi immediately became unhappy. He wanted to get involved in the conversation, but he couldn't find a chance.
”The truth isn't important.”
”If we don't know the truth, how are we supposed to know how to stop this? Sect Leader Mu should probably be clear on this as well. There's no way to do this on your own, so why not come forth honestly so that we can all come up with an idea together? Isn't that better?”
Mu Ye was silently for a while, then he turned around and sat back down. After he sat down, he glanced over the two coldly before lifting his hands. A hidden weapon glinting with cold light shot out. An instant later, there was the sound of a scream. The person that had been staring at He Xiaoqin this entire time was killed by this weapon.
This sudden death naturally caused a panic. He Xiaoqin's scream was heard, then he came to the palanquin and cried, ”B-b-baili gongzi!”
Baili Yu glanced at Mu Ye and saw that he still didn't plan to speak, so he answered He Xiaoqin first. ”What is it?”
”Someone has died!” Even through the palanquin door, the sound of He Xiaoqin gulping in fear could be heard.
Su Yi snapped, ”You're so hopeless! Isn't it just a dead person? What's it have to do with you? Go back and mind your own business!”
He Xiaoqin was stunned to be suddenly scolded by Su Yi, then he was confused. Why was Su Yi also in the palanquin?
When Su Yi saw that he was still standing outside, he wanted to yell at him again, but Baili Yu stopped him with a gesture. With a chuckle, Baili Yu asked, ”Xiaoqin, what do you think about Xiao gongzi as a person?”
