It was because Hee Wenjie, after secretly investigating through the Martial Arts Association’s intelligence network, subtly learned that his family’s tragic death was related to the Rain Master, and also to Ghost Sword Sorrow Duann Ming.
Bai Yuanhu showed a troubled expression upon hearing this: "Wenjie, if it were before, I would definitely support you in investigating thoroughly. No matter what, your father, Hee Zhongyang, was also a mber of our Linjiang Martial Arts Association. We can’t just let his death remain unclear."
At this point, Bai Yuanhu shifted his tone: "But you know that the situation has changed now. The War Emperor has returned, and the Heart Evil Stream is no longer what it used to be. We can’t afford to provoke them. Listen to uncle’s advice, don’t investigate anymore. What if you really uncover sothing? If anything were to happen to you, the Hee Family might truly have no descendants left."
"..."
Hee Wenjie was very unwilling: "Is the blood feud of my father, my brother, and my second uncle’s family just supposed to end like this?"
"Wenjie, you need to consider the bigger picture."
"..."
Bai Yuanhu’s tone was gentle, but Hee Wenjie could tell that the Hee family’s massacre was basically the end of it.
The current Heart Evil Stream is a powerful force that the Dongji Kingdom must win over. It’s impossible to disrupt the cooperation between the two sides for Hee Wenjie’s personal vendetta.
Bai Yuanhu then comforted: "Think positively, life must go on. Now I have good news to tell you. Regarding your transfer order, it has arrived. The higher-ups appreciate you very much and plan to transfer you to the Imperial Capital for duty as a Vice Captain. Work hard, and maybe in the future, you’ll be able to beco a prominent official."
The path to promotion within the Dongji Kingdom’s Martial Arts Association is always like this. Presidents and vice presidents of the various regional association branches must undergo training and assessnt at the Imperial Capital before assuming office.
"I understand."
Hee Wenjie showed no expression, with no trace of joy or happiness visible in him.
Upon leaving, he clenched his fists full of hatred, his sharp nails piercing his palm, yet he was completely unaware despite the flesh and blood.
Unable to avenge his closest kin, and not even knowing who the true culprit is, unwillingness and resentnt filled his soul, even his Martial Arts Will began to be overshadowed.
"Why should I consider the bigger picture!"
Hee Wenjie let out a fierce roar in his heart, but then he beca disheartened: "But what can I do? An arm can’t wrestle with a thigh, not to ntion compared to the Heart Evil Stream, I might not even asure up to a strand of leg hair..."
Returning ho, looking at the once lively villa now cold and deserted, Hee Wenjie’s heart twisted like a knife. He rembered how every Mid-Autumn Festival, his father Hee Zhongyang would take him, his brother, and his second uncle’s family to the backyard to admire the moon together, envisioning a bright future.
But this year, he could only spend it alone.
Just as Hee Wenjie was lost in the sadness and unable to extricate himself, a strange voice echoed in his mind: "Do you want revenge?"
"I do."
Hee Wenjie instinctively responded, then suddenly trembled with shock, jumping to his feet: "Who is it!"
His expression was flustered, looking around to find the presence of the speaker, but the villa remained occupied by only him.
No matter how he sensed his surroundings, he couldn’t detect any signs.
"No need to search, I reside deep within your soul."
"Who are you?"
"I am the only one who can help you take revenge."
"..."
"Why, don’t you believe ?"
"Why should I believe you?"
Hee Wenjie looked on guard, knowing full well that the voice must co from soone of extraordinary cultivation, perhaps communicating via Divine Thought from thousands of miles away.
And he himself wasn’t even a Martial Arts Master, yet the voice claid to help him seek revenge, evidently without good intentions.
"Believe it or not, it’s up to you; it’s not who seeks revenge anyway."
The other party was equally confident, with an air of "I have you completely under my control."
Ultimately, it was Hee Wenjie who couldn’t hold back and chose to compromise.
At least, he wanted to first hear what kind of offer the speaker might propose.
"How do you plan to help seek revenge?"
"As a gesture of sincerity, I can first tell you a piece of news about the true identity of the person who killed your father and brother."
"Who is it!"
Hee Wenjie instantly beca anxious, having investigated for so long yet never unraveling the truth nor identifying the real culprit. He was therefore filled with desire for this crucial intelligence.
"I don’t know his na."
"Are you ssing with ?"
Hee Wenjie was deeply alard.
"Hehe, don’t be so impatient, I just can’t deduce his na and identity, but I can deduce that he shares a deep-seated grudge with your family. Moreover, this grudge wasn’t directly tied to you and him, but stems from your father’s enmity with his father, a vendetta of no-rest till death."
Upon hearing the mysterious person’s description, Hee Wenjie imdiately widened his eyes, and the most fitting candidate surfaced in his mind: "Ye Qingzhou!?"
The matter of Hee Zhongyang secretly harming Ye Xiangyang is not much of a secret within the Martial Arts Association, it was just that the Gu Family helped conceal it at the ti, allowing deceit without repercussions.
Now that the Star City Gu Clan has withered, the conflict between Hee Zhongyang and Ye Xiangyang naturally beca well-known.
Indeed, within the Martial Arts Association, there were people long wishing to exploit this matter to curry favor with Ye Qingzhou.
If not for Hee Wenjie obscuring his identity and going undercover, he might have already lost his life, without even needing Ye Qingzhou’s command.
"Oh, so that person is nad Ye Qingzhou?"
The mysterious person let out a sinister laugh: "It seems his identity is extrely significant, prompting the Cyan Emperor Lineage to shelter him from Celestial Secret and fate, making him challenging even for to perceive."
