Chapter 236 - Blame Bai Rouyun
These experts were all among the elite within the Eternal Shadow Palace. They understood very well that Bai Rouyun was intentionally allowing them to see the twin"s true emotions, but none of them blamed her.
In a world like this, one had to do their utmost to survive. Strength was needed to be respected. Someone like Bai Rouyun, who had become their superior solely based on her relationship with Li Moyun, was often looked upon with tainted gla.s.ses.
Every action she made would be observed and judged, so when she mentioned her sudden premonition, most of the experts had followed her lead, but they had felt rather exasperated within.
However, from the moment she displayed her killing intent to the meticulous planning and execution of her actions had caused everyone who followed her to genuinely feel respect from within.
She was worthy of their master, and they would follow her eagerly in the future! Although her personal strength was somewhat lacking, the Eternal Shadow Palace had numerous experts who could make up for it.
What Bai Rouyun had was an ability to bring the Eternal Shadow Palace to a bigger stage with her meticulous and thoughtful actions. With the current situation, these experts even had the belief that she might be able to overthrow other sects with her planning alone, without the need for any members shedding any blood.
The Eternal Shadow Palace was the youngest among the most influential factions on the continent. Even though they had managed to reach this level of influence so swiftly, they still were not satisfied.
Li Moyun had always aimed for the stars, and the followers he had found were also not willing to be mediocre.
This could be a double-edged sword as some might become haughty, arrogant, and take themselves too seriously, but as soon as he encountered such a person, he would personally get rid of them.
The rest were able to go through numerous hardships for the purpose of reaching the apex. They would never step down or submit; they had an innate greed for strength and power.
Unlike the other factions, the Eternal Shadow Palace only recruited abandoned and orphaned children. They raised them from young and gave them somewhere they could belong. They allowed them to get a future, and these members all felt eternally grateful towards their master.
Most of the other factions had existed throughout numerous years, and they were deeply dependant on different family lines. They also recruited foreign Elders to join their factions by offering large quant.i.ties of resources, but they had merely joined for the sake of benefits.
This was also the reason for the members to have felt soft on the twins. They could connect with them, but upon realizing their twisted minds, they quickly let go of their pity. One had to be deserving of such emotions.
Bai Rouyun had stopped speaking after guiding Qing Yi into revealing her genuine emotions. She was aware that she had to reel in the net shortly, but she was not rushing to do so.
From what she could see, the twins were not working alone. It would be impossible for them to come up with the amount of gold needed to hire the thugs, and they would also not be able to leave the Capita City of Richu Empire without someone to cover for them.
This made Bai Rouyun confident that there was at least one more person involved in the scheme, so she patiently waited for the last player to get on stage.
Fortunately, Qing Er did not disappoint.
"Do you know what we had to sacrifice for the chance of revenge?" She sneered as she looked at the calm and collected Bai Rouyun. Her eyes were full of hatred, clearly intent on killing the foe in front of her in the most excruciating manner.
"I wonder how Li Moyun would feel if he knew that his little darling is being touched by another man?"
The crazy emotions within Qing Er"s eyes were bursting outwards. It was not hard to guess that the twins had exchanged their bodies for a better relationship with their backer.
The twins who had kept themselves completely clear of the opposite s.e.x for the sake of staying innocent until the day Li Moyun decided to take them as concubines would naturally feel disgusted when a man they did not love touched their bodies.
This disgust was also blamed on Bai Rouyun. If she had accepted them as Li Moyun"s concubines the first time they met, the current situation would never have appeared.
In the back, a young man stepped forward. He seemed to be in poor health. Although his clothes were of a decent quality, the pale face and thin body showed that while he might possess some gold, he was not in a good condition health-wise. He was naturally not a cultivator.
The man who had stepped forward was Zhou Liqiang. He had indeed accepted both Qing Yi and Qing Er as his women. When they first met him, his mind had been confused and full of thoughts due to him murdering his own parents, but as time had pa.s.sed, he had begun to feel more clearheaded.
Unfortunately, this also made him much crueler. He did not regret joining the twins; in fact, he adored them more than anything. Even when he knew that they loved the Eternal Shadow Lord, he did not blame them but was indignant of how their previous master had treated them.
Since Li Moyun had been so rude towards his two treasures, then he would allow this wife of his love rival to know how it felt to be treated like trash.
He hoped that when Li Moyun found out, he would blame himself for not treating the twins better when he had the chance.
