Eternal vanity
Chapter 5
Yun Ling was the current head of the Family Yun, the second of the five brothers.
Fangzheng's tanned face was filled with an amiable smile. His long and narrow black eyes kept flashing with a shrewd light.
"Qingxiao, have you recovered from your injuries?
If you need any elixirs, just take them from the family! "
His deep and strong voice was filled with concern and love for his nephew. To others, his words sounded extremely sincere.
Bai Chen's eyes moved. From his flawless words, Bai Chen could tell that he was testing him.
Bai Chen bowed slightly and said calmly to Yun Ling, who was sitting on the main seat, "Thank you for your concern, Second Uncle. With the help of Third Uncle and Fourth Uncle, I have recovered completely. Even the Spirit-eating Gu Poison has been completely removed. Third Uncle, you don't have to worry about me!" Bai Chen emphasized on the Spirit-eating Gu Poison with a playful look in his eyes.
How could Bai Chen not know that Yun Qingxiao's death had something to do with these old guys? The most powerful gu poison in the Nine Gods Continent had been used on him.
No matter how strong one's combat power was, they would lose their mind after being poisoned by this poison and would be at the mercy of the person who used the gu poison for two hours.
Why didn't the Family Yun's number one strategist protect him but send him on a dangerous mission to kill Bai Chen? Someone must have plotted to use Bai Chen to get rid of Yun Qingxiao and frame Bai Chen.
Yun Ling's expression didn't change at all. He still had a smile on his face and said,
"Oh?
Is that so? Then I really have to reward the Third Uncle and The Fourth Uncle. "
Bai Chen curled his lips. This old guy was really scheming. He didn't reveal any flaws at all. He was also a difficult person to deal with.
Third Master Yun also tidied himself up. He had a strong back and a bear waist, and his posture was tall and straight. He had thick eyebrows and big eyes, and his face was full of righteousness.
That's what he wanted, but he tried his best to hide it.
Yun Yueyang was dressed in black. He stood with his hands clasped behind his back, trying his best to assume the posture of an expert. However, the complacency and pride on his face didn't diminish in the slightest. He raised his nose to the sky and looked askance at everyone in the hall.
In short, the two brothers had the same thought: I'm the best!
This old man is number one in the world!
Bai Chen did not look at the two idiots. He said coldly, "You deserve the reward."
"Hmph!
Ignorant brat!
How arrogant! "A cold snort was heard, full of disdain and mockery.
Bai Chen looked in the direction of the voice and almost burst out laughing. The owner of the voice was the long-browed old man who had been scolded by Bai Chen.
He was also the youngest of the five Yun brothers, Yun Dian. Because of his special cultivation method, his face rapidly aged and became an old man in his thirties.
"Fifth Uncle must be joking."
"Hmph!"
Bai Chen bowed "respectfully" to Yun Dian. He touched his nose thoughtfully. If Yun Dian knew that he was Bai Chen, it was hard to imagine what kind of expression he would have …
Yun Ling stood up and smiled magnanimously. He said, "Since everyone is here, this old man will announce something." His eyes focused as he stared at Bai Chen who was silent at the side of the hall. Murderous intent spread in his eyes.
"The Moon Hall is an evil force that commits all kinds of evil. They almost harmed the common people and plunged the people into misery and suffering. Under the joint suppression of the nine clans, we finally stopped the Moon Hall's evil plot. The mastermind, Bai Tiangan, and Bai Chen were successfully killed. Some of the Moon Hall's people were captured. Our clan has decided to punish these sinners severely.
"Moreover, our nine clans will take out the Moon Hall's illegal assets to save the common people!"
Yun Ling said loudly and passionately, making everyone's blood boil.
At the side of the hall, Bai Chen's eyes were about to split open. Under his sleeves, his fair hands were clenched into fists. His nails were deeply embedded in his palms, and blood immediately dripped down.
This old bastard was so shameless. He said such shameless words with a sanctimonious face. He stood on the moral high ground and condemned the Moon Hall's people who were really wronged.
He took away the Moon Hall's hundred years of foundation as a matter of course.
Bai Chen was so angry that he started laughing. If Bai Chen had that kind of strength, he would have definitely punched that shameless old man's face.
Bai Chen gritted his teeth and forced himself to calm down. He could not act on impulse. The most important thing now was to save the remaining Moon Hall's people as much as possible.
Bai Chen calmed his mind and took a deep breath. He took a step forward and cupped his fists. "Second Uncle, I have a request. I hope Second Uncle can help me!"
Yun Ling glanced at him and chuckled.
"Your nephew has contributed greatly in this battle. You should be rewarded. Speak!"
"Your nephew wants the Moon Hall's people!" Bai Chen deliberated for a while and said slowly.
His words were shocking. Everyone in the hall was in an uproar.
They started to whisper under their breaths.
"Hey, what do you think the Third Young Master wants to do?"
"If I knew, I would be fourteenth on the ranking list!"
"Anyway, the Third Young Master has his own plans. He won't harm the family."
.....
Yun Ling frowned as if he was thinking. Bai Chen hurriedly added.
"Second Uncle, I couldn't kill Bai Chen with my own hands and avenge the humiliation of that sword strike. I already have an inner demon, so …"
Yun Ling thought about it again and again. He waved his hand and laughed as he patted Bai Chen's shoulder.
"Then we'll do as you say, Qingxiao!
They're just a bunch of useless people anyway. "
A hint of joy flashed across Bai Chen's face. He said, "Thank you, Second Uncle."
"Also, you can go to the Moon Hall with your Second Brother this time!
You can also see the world and interact with the various God Tribes. "A glint flashed across Yun Ling's eyes.
'Second Brother?'
Bai Chen narrowed his eyes. His sensitivity from being hunted down in the past allowed him to smell a conspiracy. The alarm in his heart rang loudly.
"Yes!
I'll take my leave. "
Bai Chen stepped out of the hall under Yun Ling's deep gaze.
Yun Ling watched as Bai Chen strode away. After giving some instructions, he sent the elders away. Only Yun Ling and Yun Dian were left in the empty hall.
"Yun Dian, is that matter ready?" Yun Ling looked into the distance and muttered to himself.
Yun Dian answered, "Everything is ready. That kid won't have any chance of survival."
"Good," said Yun Ling.
"I hope there won't be any mistakes this time. Otherwise … everything will be ruined …"
Yun Qingxiao's Independent Courtyard
Bai Chen sat cross-legged on his bed. His Divine Sense was circulating quietly. He inhaled and exhaled, consolidating and strengthening his Divine Sense.
This was really deadly … He had almost exposed himself. He had to be more careful in the future.
He had gained a lot from this confrontation. Not only did he get rid of the Moon Hall's Empress, but he had also successfully entered the Family Yun and taken the first step in his revenge.
"Big Brother Qingxiao!" A crisp and pleasant voice rang out. It was mixed with endless joy.
It interrupted Bai Chen's quiet breathing.
