Senior Brother, Stop It, You Are A Villain!

Tang Fei sighed and said with a wry smile, “Unexpectedly, our master has been working hard for Ziqing Sacred Land all his life, and in the end he became the victim of two traitors fighting for power and profit.”

After Murong Pianpian was silent for a long time, she whispered, “Then how do you know all this?”

Tang Fei laughed at himself and said, “Master is dead, but the Second Elder’s plan failed. Instead, the Great Elder’s lineage completely controlled the power of Sacred Land. The Second Elder was naturally unwilling. But for people like him, if he is not fully sure, or if he is pushed into a desperate situation, how can he take the lead himself? And after the death of the master, I, as the future successor of the Ziqing Sacred Land’s Holy Lord, naturally became his best tool. He secretly spread the news that our master was actually poisoned instead of being in seclusion to me before. Although he didn’t say who the person that poisoned our master was, with the Great Elder’s attitude at that time, anyone would immediately doubt him.”

Murong Pianpian was taken aback, “The one who spread the news of our master’s poisoning turned out to be someone from the Second Elder?”

Tang Fei nodded, “When I first heard the news, I didn’t act rashly, but wanted to find out the source of the news first. After all, such news cannot be groundless, and those who spread the news must have some ulterior motives. To figure out their purpose, I searched and searched, and finally found the second Elder.”

Speaking of this, Tang Fei suddenly asked back, “Do you still remember that there is a disciple named ‘Tao Yuan’ under the Second Elder’s lineage?”

Murong Pianpian nodded, “I remember that she looks ordinary, but she is extremely tall. Her reputation… is not very good among the disciples. I heard that she is bitter and mean, jealous of the talented, and many people are very dissatisfied with her. It can be said that also very strange, but the Second Elder is extremely dependent on her, and many important things will be entrusted to her.”

Speaking of this, Murong Pianpian suddenly eyes revealed doubts, “By the way, I remember that Tao Yuan seemed to have died in an experience two years ago. Could it be that this matter is also related to the Second Elder?”

Tang Fei nodded, and said with emotion, “You have become smarter.”

Tang Fei smiled lightly, not caring about Murong Pianpian’s dissatisfaction, and continued on his own, “From the very beginning, Tao Yuan has been an important pawn in the hands of the Second Elder, and she will handle all shady things. When I investigated the incident of the master, I finally found her, and found that whether it was poisoning the master or spreading the news, it was her fault.”

Murong Pianpian was greatly surprised, and couldn’t help but say angrily, “Master was actually poisoned by this lowly servant girl? It’s a pity that she died too early, otherwise, I will let her experience not being able to live or die!”

As the eldest daughter of the Murong family, Murong Pianpian has been well-bred since she was a child, and she has never turned red with anger a few times, let alone uttered bad words. Now she was so angry that she cursed directly, which showed how much she hated Tao Yuan.

Tang Fei patted her on the shoulder and said helplessly, “I know you want to avenge the master, but you can’t seek justice for our master if you are so impatient. What’s more, Tao Yuan is just a knife. The real murderer is the person holding the knife. Our enemy has never been such a small chess piece, but the Great Elder and the Second Elder, the ones playing chess.”

Murong Pianpian took several deep breaths in a row before suppressing the anger in her heart. She looked at Tang Fei and asked, “Then what happened later? How did this lowly servant girl, Tao Yuan, die later?”

Tang Fei shrugged, and said helplessly, “How else could she die? She was silenced by the Second Elder!”

“She was silenced by the second Elder?” Murong Pianpian was greatly surprised, “Isn’t Tao Yuan his important pawn? Why did he kill Tao Yuan?”

Tang Fei smiled wryly and said, “Of course, it’s because Tao Yuan has fallen to my side. And after the Second Elder realized it, he obviously won’t keep her.”

Murong Pianpian couldn’t help but be dumbfounded. This turning point is too sudden!

Tang Fei glanced at Murong Pianpian and said, “You must be very curious, why did Tao Yuan fall to my side? It’s actually very simple. The Second Elder was able to make Tao Yuan do all kinds of dirty work before because he once promised Tao Yuan that once he took over the Sacred Land, Tao Yuan would be the next holy maiden. And I made a similar promise to Tao Yuan, the difference is that instead of being the next holy maiden, she will become an elder.”

Murong Pianpian looked shocked, “She believed it? She betrayed the Second Elder just because of your promise?”

Tang Fei shook his head, “Of course not. It’s not that simple. But I just need to tell her what happened to those who used to do dirty work for the Second Elder. As long as she is not stupid, she will naturally not continue to work for the Second Elder.”

Murong Pianpian suddenly realized. But then she looked at Tang Fei suspiciously again, “If she did not die, do you really plan to give her an elder position in the future?”

Tang Fei sneered, “How is it possible? I just wrote a bad check! The Second Elder can write this bad check, so why can’t I write it?”

Murong Pianpian looked at Tang Fei deeply. It wasn’t until this moment that she realized that she had never understood this senior brother who grew up with her.

Tang Fei saw Murong Pianpian’s complex expression, and he couldn’t help but sigh. He patted Murong Pianpian on the shoulder and said in a low voice, “I didn’t want to tell you these things. Although you are talented and intelligent, you are too naive when dealing with people. Master knew this very early on, so he once secretly told me not to let you get involved with the darker matters of the Ziqing Sacred Land. If there is something that cannot be done, I will die as a senior brother, but you have to live well, at least you can leave a glimmer of life for our lineage.”

Murong Pianpian shook off Tang Fei’s arm and gritted her teeth at Tang Fei, “I am also master’s disciple. I have a share in revenge for our master! Don’t use those excuses of ‘for your own good’ to prevaricate me! Let me tell you, Tang Fei, in this world, others cannot make decisions for me, and neither can you!”

After finishing speaking, she strode out of the guest room and closed the door heavily.

Tang Fei stared blankly at the door, not returning to his senses for a long time.
