“What is it, Young Master Pei? My ears are good, you know? You don’t have to shout.” Yun Lintian rubbed his ear annoyingly. “Do you want your brother back? But he hasn’t given up yet. I’m afraid I cannot send him back.” ．ｔ
“I will… Aah… kill you!” Pei Xiewen had reached his limit. His aura burst out as he prepared to rush forward. However, he was held back by the clan elders behind him.
“Young Master, please calm down. Huoyun Yurou is still there. We’re not his opponent.” A long-bearded old man grabbed Pei Xiewen and whispered. “We should find a way to treat Old Patriarch and Patriarch first.”
Pei Xiewen made a fuss for a moment and calmed down. He glanced at his younger brother’s tragic figure and clenched his fists tightly. He might be arrogant and aloof, but he truly cared about his younger brother. However, he simply could not do anything to save him… For the first time in his life, he was powerless against the enemy.
“Yes, yes. You better listen to your elders. At least, they have some brains.” Yun Lintian chuckled.
The clan elders behind Pei Xiewen were frustrated, but they knew saying anything in this situation was useless.
“That should be enough.” Tianqi Junlai said after carefully considering. “You’ve already gotten enough revenge. Pei Siwen is totally crippled, and I believe he wishes nothing but to die. You should show magnanimity and let him live with the last bit of life.”
“Oh wow. I didn’t know before that Patriarch Tianqi was this kind. However, talking about magnanimity here is a bit absurd, don’t you think so?” Yun Lintian curled his lips.
His face suddenly turned cold as he continued. “Four thousand years ago, my old patriarch sacrificed his life to help that old bastard Pei Fengwen. Not only did he not regret it even a bit, but he also joined forces with the Purple-Winged Tiger Clan to secretly suppress us. And here you’re telling me to show magnanimity?… I’m sorry, but are you retard?”
The arena fell into dead silence once again. Whoever lived on this Western Continent would know a thing or two about the incident four thousand years ago. However, many of them had just learned about Huoyun Lingchen’s heroic deeds today. They couldn’t help but despise Pei Fengwen for his treacherous act.
Huoyun Yurou opened her eyes and looked at Yun Lintian with complicated feelings. Yun Lintian was completely an outsider, yet he cared a lot about her clan. She didn’t know whether he acted out of guilt for leaving her son behind, but she had lived long enough to see through people’s character. Yun Lintian’s care was genuine. He had regarded himself as a part of the Fire Cloud Rat Clan. This was something she was certain of.
“And there’s Old Patriarch Jin,” Yun Lintian said coldly. “He sacrificed himself and the spirit of the Golden Tribulation Armor in order to save everyone’s life. Your father, Tianqi Zongwei, was also the one among them… Now, look at what you treat his clan.”
Yun Lintian’s voice became louder. Every word that came out of his mouth was filled with boundless anger. “You took his sacrifice for granted and even stole his clan’s heirloom away just to use it to humiliate his descendants!… Hehe. Tianqi Junlai, I really wonder how you feel when you look at yourself in a mirror? Have you felt some shame?”
Jin Yang and the Golden Python’s elders looked at Yun Lintian emotionally. No one understood the suffering they had gone through these thousands of years. Finally, someone had vented for them.
Tianqi Junlai’s face gradually turned gloomy. Of course, he didn’t feel anything wrong with his actions. The problem was he was actually scolded by an eighteen-year-old-brat in front of everyone. His ego and pride didn’t allow him to tolerate it further.
Yun Lintian hadn’t yet finished his speech. He pointed at Yu Rongxi while staring at Tianqi Junlai coldly. “And there’s also Old Matriarch Yu! She fought with her life on the line to prevent those enemies from climbing up to the continent. She spent everything she had — including her life! Because of her that you all could live peacefully until now. Because of her that your clan could reign superior, enjoying all the resources until now!”
“Brother Huoyun…” Yu Jiao’er was already in tears. Although she was young, she understood the grief of the entire clan more than anyone. She had dreamed about what Yun Lintian did right countless times. She didn’t expect it was achieved by Yun Lintian today.
Meanwhile, Yu Rongxi closed her eyes sadly. The scene where her master, the old matriarch, painstakingly taught her and took great care of her appeared in her mind like a movie. Even now, she hadn’t forgotten her warm hands in the slightest.
He took a deep breath and said in a deep voice. “Do you want me to continue, Tianqi Junlai? I haven’t mentioned the Old Patriarch of the Crimson Ox Clan yet.”
Bang!
“Enough!” Tianqi Junlai slapped the armrest violently. His gaze was like a dagger, glaring at Yun Lintian. “I’m asking you again. Are you going to stop?”
A strange light flashed across Yun Lintian’s eyes. This Tianqi Junlai was extremely good at self-control. After all the insults he took, he could still manage to calm down after a short moment of anger. This kind of enemy was the hardest to deal with.
Yun Lintian changed his demeanor. He smiled faintly and said. “Since Patriarch Tianqi says so, how could I dare disobey?” He paused for a moment and continued. “However, shouldn’t Patriarch Tianqi gives me something in exchange?”
Tianqi Junlai frowned and was about to speak, but he was interrupted by Yun Lintian first.
“It’s commonsense, isn’t it? If you wanted something, you have to prepare something in exchange.” Yun Lintian laughed gently and turned to Pei Xiewen. “Of course, if Patriarch Tianqi couldn’t do it, I will ask Young Master Pei instead… Hey, Young Master Pei. How much are you going to pay for your brother’s life?”
Pei Xiewen gnashed his teeth angrily. “What do you want?”
Yun Lintian snapped his fingers. “As expected from a top young master like you, you’re decisive enough… Simple, I want you to cancel the upcoming marriage and return Miss Bi’s younger sister to her.”
