Capítulo 1420: Chapter 1421: The Truth Revealed
The two of them were childhood friends, inseparable and caring for each other, sotis talking about everything. Such feelings surpassed many others, so at this mont, seeing Bai Chu commit suicide right in front of her, she truly felt heart-wrenching pain.
To her, Bai Chu was like a brother, one of her dearest people. The death of a loved one is the saddest thing in the world, and she couldn’t hide the tears in her heart, so she cried ssily.
“Senior Brother, why did you do this? Sob! Sob!”
The tears poured down, and she couldn’t understand Bai Chu’s actions. Was being the Young Valley Master really so important?
After a long ti, she turned her anger towards Lin Yifan and questioned, “Yifan! Why did you compete with Senior Brother for the position of Young Valley Master? Didn’t you say you wouldn’t fight for it?”
Lin Yifan returned this ti with significant changes. She didn’t know what happened in between, but it made him feel a bit unfamiliar.
“I didn’t compete with him. He insisted on having a showdown with , and all the elders can testify.”
“You beast, if it weren’t for you insisting on taking control of the dicinal Saint Valley, would all these things have happened?”
The elder who favored Bai Chu felt his anger rush to his heart and couldn’t help but lash out on the spot.
As soon as this was said, it caused a stir.
“Taking control of the dicinal Saint Valley? When did this happen?”
“Is the Valley Master really retiring to enjoy old age in peace?”
“No wonder Senior Brother was so emotional. It turns out it’s because of this.”
…
Du Yuze finally understood why Lin Yifan insisted on going to the council hall as soon as he returned. It was to discuss the transition of the Valley Master position with the elders.
However, he was quite shocked by the sudden decision of the Valley Master to abdicate, as the Valley Master was far from retirent age.
Xu Haolin, the second senior brother, never expected that all of this had been predetermined. He really fell for the dicine Saint’s plan.
The dicine Saint previously said that regardless of seniority or master, the capable should occupy the position. As a result, he competed with Bai Chu for decades, only to have it taken by a junior disciple who had been there for less than three years. If this wasn’t a delay tactic, then what was it?
Xu Haolin regretted not realizing it sooner; if he had known that the dicine Saint didn’t favor him, he wouldn’t have competed, and it wouldn’t have led to such a sour relationship with Bai Chu.
On the other hand, Ai Lin finally understood why Lin Yifan insisted on competing with Bai Chu — it was to seize the power in the valley.
But wasn’t he soone who regarded status and power as dirt? How did he change so suddenly? Was everything he said before a lie to her?
“Yifan! Why did you deceive ?”
Lin Yifan ignored Ai Lin’s anger and instead confronted the speaking elder: “I say, Fifth Elder, can you speak with so responsibility? What do you an I’m the one insisting on taking over the dicinal Saint Valley? It’s the Valley Master who wanted to take temporary charge. Do you know what temporary ans? If not, go back and check the dictionary!”
“You beast, with no respect for elders, do you think you can order around?”
“Do you know what temporary ans then?” Lin Yifan questioned.
“You have low status, low seniority, on what grounds are you taking temporary control of the dicinal Saint Valley?”
The Fifth Elder finally spoke his mind, and suddenly, everyone understood the matter anew.
“Then go discuss it with the Valley Master and see what he says.”
“You…”
“What do you an, it’s you short-sighted people who feared I’d take over the valley’s power, forcing to compete with him. Now look, his pride was hurt, and he committed suicide out of sha.”
After hearing the whole story, everyone suddenly understood.
It turned out that the mistake was not Lin Yifan’s. It was Bai Chu’s obsession with proving himself that led to such an outco.
“Alas! It’s all Senior Brother’s choice, what’s there to condemn?”
“Two tigers can’t coexist on one mountain; Senior Brother might have felt that without his status in the future, so he simply ended his life.”
“Being overshadowed by a junior disciple is indeed unjust.”
…
“Did we really wrong Yifan?”
Ai Lin suddenly felt heartbroken, realizing it was too disappointing to accuse Lin Yifan without understanding the truth.
Knowing Lin Yifan ca close to being killed by Senior Brother just monts ago, how would she feel if it was Lin Yifan who was dead now? Additionally, it wasn’t Lin Yifan who killed Senior Brother, so why overly bla him?
Now, she was confused about her own feelings, unsure if she truly loved Lin Yifan.
The discussion was one-sided, and the Fifth Elder, unable to contain his anger, retorted, “You just want to take control of the future of the dicinal Saint Valley, thinking we don’t know?”
“Say what you want, as long as I have the token to prove I wasn’t lying!”
As the dicine Saint Order was revealed, all the disciples in the valley were stunned, left in awe.
It turned out to be true; Lin Yifan was indeed appointed by the Valley Master to temporarily take control of the valley’s power, not wanting to seize the Young Valley Master’s position.
“How shaless to suspect Junior Brother like that.”
“Actually, even without this incident, Senior Brother would have sought a showdown with Junior Brother Lin; it’s just that the matter weighed on him, leading to his suicide.”
“Yes, it’s not Junior Brother Lin’s fault. It’s Senior Brother’s overly cautious nature.”
…
Seeing the situation escalating, Gao Ziyun, who was now the highest-ranking and most powerful person in the valley, needed to step forward to calm everyone’s emotions: “Alright, alright! This dispute ends here. Bai Chu’s suicide out of guilt has nothing to do with Xiaofan.”
Bai Chu was no longer of use, so they could use Lin Yifan instead, as he had just made such a choice anyway.
“Great Elder, are you really not going to hold this brat responsible?”
The elders who favored Bai Chu clearly didn’t want to let Lin Yifan off easily, as it was Lin Yifan who indirectly caused the death of their hand-picked successor, an unforgivable cri.
“Are you all intending to defy the Valley Master’s will and seize power?” Gao Ziyun retorted.
“Absolutely not, absolutely not!”
“Then shut up, or no one will be able to protect you.”
The Great Elder couldn’t help but scold.
You can favor soone, but if you anger the dicine Saint, you deal with the consequences yourself.
Elders familiar with the dicine Saint knew he appeared kind but was terrifyingly ruthless, so they dared not pursue it further.
With the Great Elder calming the crowd, Lin Yifan managed to get over a tough hurdle.
It seed that Bai Chu’s position in the valley was still quite high, at least receiving such quiet support from many elders.
However, without the support of the dicine Saint, it was all in vain.
After the incident, many lanted Senior Brother’s death, especially those in his camp.
With Senior Brother gone, their positions in the valley beca precarious, no longer being opponents to Lin Yifan and other forces.
