822 14.98 Last Violet Star – (Past) Dilemma

At the mountain peak in the Lan Zhuayan Sect which is known as Yun Xiajie’s Peak…

Yun Huaxia leaves the Main Peak’s Medicinal Hall and makes his way to his younger brother’s courtyard. He appears to be quite upset and resentful that his father is guarding Bai Wuan rather than worrying about Yun Xiajie, his youngest son, who had drifted sleeping for unknown reasons.

There is no evidence that Bai Wuan did anything to his younger brother to cause his current condition, but it doesn’t imply he had nothing to do with it. After all, he was with his younger brother for the last moment before he lost consciousness. These circumstances forced Yun Huaxia to regard Bai Wuan as a suspect.

His younger brother is a modest man who only speaks in front of him and his father while discussing his daily activities. Yun Huaxia was aware that his younger brother had visited Main Peak in secret in order to meet with their father. He accidentally followed Yun Xiajie, although he did it covertly.

He was surprised to learn that his younger brother had been secretly meeting with their father to make a request. He sought permission so that the visiting disciple, Bai Wuan, may live in his courtyard rather than at his elder brother’s residence. Only then does Yun Huaxia see that Yun Xiajie and Bai Wuan appear to be showing signs of interest in one another. In summary, he found it to be pleasant but frustrating since he had no idea that either side was interested in getting to know the other person well. He had always assumed that his younger brother would just ignore Bai Wuan. This guy enjoys making fun of his younger brother.

Yun Huaxia was unsure about his feelings in this circumstance. After all, Bai Wuan is interested in people as long as they fit his criteria of being intriguing. Nevertheless, he primarily treated them as toys. Unlike Yun Xiajie, his younger brother doesn’t have a fully developed interest in people outside of their family. Yun Xiajie, who had previously shown little interest in others, had finally changed, and Bai Wuan was the first person he showed interest in outside of his family.

Even though Yun Huaxia made the choice to leave them alone, if his brother was wounded, his intentions might well have changed. For example, in the current situation.

Anybody who would attempt to harm him would not be forgiven. According to the facts, only Bai Wuan was in contact with his younger brother; Thus, instead of an unknown person, only he can be held responsible for his brother’s current predicament. As a result, despite his father’s warnings, Yun Huaxia contacted Bai Wuan, which led to the current situation and made him realize that his selfishness must have seriously endangered Bai Wuan.

“A’Wuan! A’Wuan, speak if you can hear me!? A’Wuan!?” said Yun Huaxia to the communication orb in his hand.

…..

But as the connection was suddenly broken, the communication device itself broke apart right in front of Yun Huaxia’s eyes. He felt so uncomfortable right now. Prior to the connection being lost, he overheard a guy shouting at Bai Wuan and yelling “Die!” before it was lost. It was this word that made him nervous.

Yun Huaxia was shivering and in a panic as he stared at the broken orb in his hands. Then, in his mind, he hears a repeat of what his father had spoken.

‘No one is allowed to contact Bai Wuan. He has been sent on a mission to infiltrate the core of the Xie Clan’s territory!’

“X-Xie Clan!? T-Then that man who yelled before… Is he the Ancestor of the Clan of Xie? I… I…”

Yun Huaxia was so terrified that he collapsed to the ground while still sitting up, looking disoriented and unable to stop staring at the broken glass in his palm. He vividly remembered how difficult it was to get past the protective barrier his younger brother had set up to hide this communication crystal. It demonstrates how much significance he attached to this device that could communicate with Bai Wuan in any situation.

But at that same moment, he murdered his young brother’s sweetheart with the identical treasure that belonged to Yun Xiajie. Once Yun Xiajie’s younger brother awoke to find that his cherished treasure was broken and maybe in pieces, he was scared of how he would respond to the news that his beloved has passed away because of his selfishness.

Then he remembered something else. The sight of his sweetheart beaming at him when he proudly expresses his respect for his older sibling.

‘Does Brother Hua know? Even in our own sect, my brother hardly ever returns home. He is constantly on a mission that neither Lili nor I am aware of. Even though we miss him, our parents always warn us not to call our brother if he is on a mission. Because the location he frequents is dangerous. His life might be at risk with just one error. Even back then, my brother would phone at the exact same moment after completing his task to let us know he was safe. My brother’s care and love make me extremely happy. Our parents claim that he is protecting us while he leaves on some sort of mission. My brother is the person I admire and respect the most. Brother Hua, you must get along with my brother okay?’

Yun Huaxia examined his quivering hands and the sorrow, guilt, and remorse that covered his face.

“I… did I just make the two people who are important to me… sad like this. I-I didn’t plan this…”

An elder who had been prevented from entering the courtyard by the array built by Bai Wuan suddenly managed to get past it. He heard the man’s ominous shout captured by the crystal and saw the communication orb shatter in front of his eyes. Of course, the first young lord had derailed Bai Wuan’s mission, based only on those factors alone and in the end, put him in great danger.

He was aware of the mission’s specifics and that disciple Bai Wuan had been sent to covertly look into the Xie Clan. However, Yun Huaxia made an unprepared call just to get in touch with him during the mission, thus it’s likely that he was discovered and attacked by someone on the opposite side. He recognized who may have been shouting at Bai Wuan from the other side since he was an elderly man with deeper knowledge and experience than Yun Huaxia.

The elder spoke in shock, “T-That voice just now… Was that the Clan Master of Xie, Xie Gui!?”

“E-Elder, I… I… I think A’Wuan is… is…” Yun Huaxia couldn’t even complete his words as he was trembling badly with a horrified look on his face.

The first young lord’s point was obvious to the senior. Apparently, his hasty contact had not only resulted in Bai Wuan’s presence being discovered. The worst thing occurred when Bai Wuan learned that the second young master had been hospitalized; presumably, he had erred in the mission and been caught off guard by whoever was seeking to apprehend him. Nobody currently knows if Bai Wuan was still alive or not.

“First young lord, I hope you come with this old man to report to the Sect Master,” the elder remarked with a frown.

Yun Huaxia said, “I… I shall go,” as if he had lost his soul.

The elder arrived to watch him leave the courtyard as he was holding the communication orb’s broken pieces in his hands. However, everything had gone out of hand which even he didn’t expect to happen. 𝘰𝑣𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

In the hidden chamber under Xie Clan Master’s Mansion.

Without showing any signs of suffering on his face, Bai Wuan unhesitantly drew away the stabbing blade that was close to his heart, even when blood trickled down from the corner of his lips. Even the blood oozing out of his body didn’t bother him at all as if it wasn’t blood coming from his injury.

Tsk!

Bai Wuan’s manner grew absolutely icy and oppressive, saying, “You’re disrespectful. Don’t you see I’m talking to someone?”

For the first time, ever since he transformed into a Nascent Soul with the aid of the devil, Xie Gui experienced terror.

Xie Gui shouted, “H-How are you… How are you still alive?! I stabbed your heart.”

“Look closely. It’s 3 inches away from my heart,” stated Bai Wuan as he casually wiped the blood from his lips and cast an uncaring glance at the old Ancestor.

Xie Gui exclaimed, “No! Even if it wasn’t a direct blow you should be dead. H-How can you still be alive?” while trembling with fear and uncertainty.

“How funny you already met a devil for yourself, why would you be surprised to meet a God in a mortal body? Tsk! Though the pain is bearable, the feeling of having a hole in my body feels annoying. But I can’t heal it or I wouldn’t be able to use something to make my husband feel bad for me. Either way, though I can’t kill you, giving you mental demons should suffice~ hehehe~” said Bai Wuan as he tapped Xie Gui’s forehead using authority on him to birth some mental demons.

ARRRGGHHH!!

Bai Wuan said, “I guess this would be enough, for now, ~ see you again soon. But by then I should come for your life~”

He teleported away from the mansion and the Xie Clan territory using space elements. He showed up exactly where everyone was expected to congregate. More or less, his subordinates are alive, and the mission’s lone casualty was him.

“Lord Wuan!!!?”

“Well,~ something happened and… I almost got caught by the Xie Clan’s Ancestor. The mission is completed. Go bring me back to the Lan Zhuayun Sect,” commanded Bai Wuan.

“Yes, Lord Wuan!”

Only then did this small group of cultivators leave the area to come back to the Lan Zhuayan Sect. They bandage their lord’s wounded chest and return back.

—

The Main Peak of Lan Zhuayan Sect…

After hearing what the elder assigned to watch him had reported, the sect leader slapped Yun Huaxia. While speaking to his eldest son, the man’s voice and features clearly display his fury.

SLAPPED!

“You imbecile! How much had I warned you not to contact Bai Wuan? His mission is extremely dangerous this time as I requested for him to check if the Nascent Soul Cultivator of Xie Clan does exist. That’s Xie Gui!”

“Bai Wuan is only an early golden core stage and that old monster is at least an early Nascent Soul!!! Have you gone crazy!? Pray that Bai Wuan is alive. This time our greatest enemy might not be only the Xie Clan but the Bai Clan instead”

“Were my words sound not serious to you? What would your younger brother do once he wakes up? That’s the only person outside our family and clan that is important to him! Look what you’ve done! Now your brother might not be able to forgive you once he wakes up,” exclaimed Sect Master Yun in rage.

Yun Huaxia listened to all of his reprimands and knelt down in front of his father with a swollen face, not daring to raise his head.??????e??????????????l. ??o??

Sect Master Yun sat down on his chair with a crash as he collapsed from exhaustion. Because of the tension his eldest son was causing, he couldn’t help but press on his throbbing head.

The elder who accompanied Yun Huaxia was questioned by the master of the Lan Zhuyun Sect.

“Are you sure that was the voice of Xie Gui?”

“Yes. I’m definitely sure it was him. Though I wish it wasn’t him either, Sect Master,” the elder responded.

Sect Master Yun said, “I also wish it wasn’t him. Because at the very least I can convince myself that the child should at least have some possibility of returning.”

“Brother, what should we do? Should we inform the Master of the Bai Family?” asked the Great Elder, Yun Xiayu.

The sect master of Lan Zhuayun Sect glances at his eldest son and waves his hand, “No. Not yet. I heard from that child that he should be back after dinner. Let’s wait for now.”

“What should we do if something really happened?” asked one of the elders.

“We all have to individually apologize to the Bai Family if that actually happened. I only pray that this situation will not be the outcome we are waiting for. Moreover, nothing much can be done. Make plans to terminate Yun Huaxia’s engagement with the heir of the Bai Clan,” replied the Sect Master.

When Yun Huaxia heard this, he couldn’t help but feel guilty, but he was too ashamed to say anything. He felt in his heart that if something had happened to Bai Wuan, Bai Qiyin might not be able to forgive him. Sect Master Yun noted the shift in his eldest son’s look and could infer what he is now thinking, but he had not intended to support him in this circumstance, which was brought on by his own carelessness and selfishness.

Sigh~

“Send medical practitioners at the gates of the sect to wait. If they return with injuries, assist them right away. Make sure no disciples are not aware of what is occurring, especially the visiting disciple and elders from the Bai Lengshui Sect,” said Sect Master Yun.

“Yes, Sect Master!”

“Had Xiajie woken up yet?” asked the Sect Master.

The head of the Medicine Hall responded, “Still asleep, Sect Master, but… His life was not in danger in the first place, instead, his qi is becoming stronger as if he is under some enlightenment.”

Sect Master Yun muttered, “I’m not sure if I wish he wakes up soon or not right now. Sigh, send the First Young Lord out!”
