Chapter 1927: Chapter 1927: Now I Have a Grudge that Can’t Be Avenged
They have no sha, but as an elder, he still needs to maintain face. Everything in Poison Valley used to be feared contaminated with poison and hence uneatable, so they could only buy vegetables and grain from the disciples of dical Valley.
“Take what you have and trade it with the disciples of dical Valley for food and vegetables. Go.”
“Yes, Elder, I understand.”
Upon responding, the disciples turned and left.
“Big Brother, when did you beco so mild-mannered?”
It wasn’t until after the disciples had left that the Second Elder looked at him with a smile and half-jokingly asked.
...
The Great Elder used to not involve himself too much with the affairs of Poison Valley, imrsing himself daily in refining poisons and antidotes, yet he was also known for his fiery temper.
But these past few days, he had seen the Great Elder display more patience than he ever could, practically agreeing to whatever the disciples of dical Valley said, completely unlike how he used to act.
“What about ?”
Great Elder looked at him puzzled and asked.
“You, in the past, if faced with such a situation, would have exploded by now. How could you sit so calmly now and even persuade us?”
Second Elder said.
“Heh.”
Great Elder heard his words and chuckled softly.
“How else am I supposed to explode? Actually, when I think about it, joining dical Valley doesn’t seem like a bad choice. I often wondered before, was it the right decision to follow Valley Master Liao in committing wrongdoings? Now it seems it really was a mistake. Valley Master Liao’s brutality is bound to end badly. Now, I just don’t want the disciples I brought with to follow in Valley Master Liao’s footsteps.
Speaking of the disciples of dical Valley, their ability to et us without averting their eyes or getting angry is already a great display of tolerance.
You should think about it. Which one of us disciples from Poison Valley hasn’t bullied or hurt the disciples of dical Valley? There have been many incidents of killing parents, all under Valley Master Liao’s instructions, haven’t there?”
“This…”
Second Elder opened his mouth to explain but ultimately didn’t say anything.
There were many such incidents, but none were committed by the disciples they had selected. However, Poison Valley used to act as one entity; what one did, all were held accountable for.
Their reputation was just as stained, and no wonder the disciples of dical Valley paid them no attention.
“So by your logic, the greatest forgiveness the disciples of dical Valley have shown us is by not poisoning our food, right?” he asked with a light chuckle.
“Pretty much.”
Great Elder simply nodded; though the words sounded harsh, they reflected a stark reality.
If it were him, and soone had hard his parents and hurt him, he would never forgive them lightly. Given the chance, he would take his revenge.
“Now, they can’t even seek revenge. Just watch, with their own eyes, the disciples of Poison Valley who once hard them living under their watch. It must be hard for them too.”
So, how could they bla them for ignoring them?
If there was bla to assign, it was the conflict between dical Valley and Poison Valley—too imnse to be settled by the death of Fusheng alone.
“Besides, Poison Valley is in such a state now, can it even be inhabited? At the very least, it is uninhabitable for the near future.”
“I understand.”
Second Elder sighed again, feeling that this situation was truly problematic.
The disciples of Poison Valley were in a difficult position, but the disciples of dical Valley were even more so. Therefore, he figured they should just lay low and survive, trying to avoid going around the disciples of dical Valley.
