Chapter 187: Mastermind
"That's right, after ten years of waiting, this affection has long surpassed the love ...... men and women", Murong Ke couldn't help but shake his head and sighed: "So, for this revenge of killing your sister, you, like your eldest brother, can only choose to give up."

"For the sake of the eldest brother, for the sake of the people he wants to protect in his heart, for the sake of being able to give the wound a chance to scab over, for the sake of the eldest brother and Luo Qingxue, there is still a faint possibility in the future. All the damage, just let me and my eldest brother bear it", Yang Xiaoling smiled very reluctantly.
At this moment, he suddenly hated himself. He hated his weakness, he hated that he didn't even have the courage to avenge his sister.
Murong Ke was speechless, so he had to reach out and gently pat Yang Xiaoling's shoulder again.
Yang Xiaoling suddenly looked at Murong Ke again and said, "In the eyes of my seniors, am I a cowardly person, so cowardly that I don't even have the courage to avenge my sister"?
Murong Ke immediately shook his head and said, "You are wrong, it takes courage to take revenge, but to give up hatred, wouldn't it take even greater courage." All the hatred of your two brothers stems from the love of your loved ones, and in the end it is for the sake of the loved ones, and you and your eldest brother have learned to let go of the hatred, and in this respect, you have done a good job, at least not wrong."
"Maybe it's ......", Yang Xiaoling took his eyes off Murong Ke and looked up at the ethereal peak towering into the clouds in the distance.
Murong Ke also followed his gaze, only to see that under the bright sunlight, the ethereal peak was majestic and handsome, and there seemed to be a few faint mist on it, like a fairyland on earth.
It's just that in Yang Xiaoling's eyes, the fairyland-like ethereal peak is completely different, not only can he not see a trace of clear immortal aura on the ethereal peak, but in his eyes, it is more turbid and filthy. Thinking like this in his heart, he said: "This ethereal peak looks really extraordinary, no wonder some people say that this place is as beautiful as a fairyland".
Murong Ke couldn't hear the hint of ridicule in Yang Xiaoling's words, smiled bitterly, and said, "Often the more beautiful the appearance, the uglier the things hidden. The ethereal peak hides filth and dirt, why don't you say it."
Suddenly, he seemed to think of something all of a sudden, and suddenly took his gaze back, looked directly at Yang Xiaoling, and asked, "Why are you here?"
Yang Xiaoling naturally knew what Murong Ke wanted to ask, but he deliberately pretended to be confused and said, "Why am I here, what do seniors want to ask?"
Murong Ke stared at him and asked unhurriedly, "You said that you are the second son of Qingshui Villa"?
Yang Xiaoling nodded and said, "Yes."
Murong Ke said again: "You just said that your eldest brother and Luo Qingxue held a wedding in Luoxue Valley not long ago, but on the wedding day, Luo Wenbin suddenly killed your eldest brother, fortunately, your sister blocked Luo Wenbin's fatal blow for him, and in the end your eldest brother was fine, but your sister died on the spot"?
Yang Xiaoling still nodded and said, "Exactly."
Murong Ke still looked at Yang Xiaoling, but his eyes became more and more confused, and he said again: "You said again that because of Luo Qingxue, your eldest brother couldn't attack Luo Wenbin, so he had to leave gloomily." And for the sake of your eldest brother, you can only choose to let go of the enemy who killed your sister ......"?
Yang Xiaoling still nodded and said, "The senior is right."
Murong Ke frowned, puzzled, and said, "Then let me ask you, what does all this have to do with Ethereal Peak?"
Yang Xiaoling directly denied it: "It doesn't matter."
"It's okay......", Murong Ke really didn't believe what Yang Xiaoling said, and was very puzzled: "Then why did you run to the Ethereal Peak to jump off the cliff and commit suicide"?
"Actually, before jumping off the cliff, I didn't know that this was the ...... of the Ethereal Peak," Yang Xiaoling said lightly: "This is just the place where I have been living for the past ten years."
"What ......", Murong Ke was completely confused, and said in surprise: "You said that you have lived here for ten years, but you don't know that this is the Ethereal Peak"?
Yang Xiaoling nodded.
Murong Ke asked, "What the hell is going on?"
Yang Xiaoling's heart seemed to start hurting again, but he replied very calmly: "Senior, do you remember what I said before, when my family suffered a disaster, my sister and I were rescued by a mysterious person, and my sister and I have been following him all these years and recognized him as our father-in-law."
"Of course I do".
Yang Xiaoling stretched out his hand and pointed to the top of the Ethereal Peak, and said, "Over the years, except for sometimes going out on missions, our brother and sister have lived with our father-in-law in a cave in the mountain behind this Ethereal Peak."
"So that's ......", Murong Ke nodded to himself and said, "It seems that this mysterious person who saved your brothers and sisters should be a person from Ethereal Peak, and he is definitely an important person in Ethereal Peak." Hey, no......".
Speaking of this, Murong Ke suddenly said in confusion: "You said that your brothers and sisters have been living in the caves behind the Ethereal Peak all these years, if the mysterious person who saved your brothers and sisters is a person from the Ethereal Peak, then why does he want to live in the cave with you, could it be ...... Could it be that he is trying to avoid the pursuit and killing of the mastermind behind the tragedy of your Qingshui Villa......"?
"It's not right......", Murong Ke felt like he had reached a dead end, his thinking became more and more confused, he couldn't stop shaking his head, and said, "Even if this is the case, there are more than a thousand people on the Ethereal Peak, and it is not easy for your brothers and sisters to hide in it." Why didn't this mysterious person who saved your brothers and sisters take your brothers and sisters as disciples and live in the front mountain with other Ethereal Peak disciples, but instead wanted you to live in the caves in the back mountain?"
"Actually, it's not right, it's not just this, maybe you overlooked a more important place."
"I wonder what I'm overlooking"?
Yang Xiaoling looked at the faint mist on the Ethereal Peak, and said: "In the cave behind the Ethereal Peak, there is a mysterious organization hidden, but for so many years, no one has noticed it, do the seniors think this is normal?"
"This ......", Murong Ke only felt that his thoughts were becoming more and more confused, and a layer of fog was shrouded in his heart, and he said, "Indeed."
After a pause, he said confusedly: "But I still don't understand how this matter is intrinsically related to what you have done before."
Yang Xiaoling said coldly: "Actually, I didn't understand it before, but fortunately, I finally understand it now."
Murong Ke asked, "What do you understand?"
Yang Xiaoling behaved unusually calmly and said: "Maybe others can't understand why Luo Wenbin wanted to poison my eldest brother on my daughter's wedding day, but I understand."
"You have already said this point, someone used the lives of everyone in the Falling Snow Valley to threaten Luo Wenbin to do so, and the person who wanted to blackmail Luo Wenbin was the mastermind behind the tragedy of Qingshui Villa back then."
Yang Xiaoling said gloomily: "The reason why I didn't seek revenge on Luo Wenbin is precisely because of this. I know that although the person who killed my sister that day was Luo Wenbin, he was not the real murderer."
Murong Ke frowned and said, "But I still don't understand, why is Luo Wenbin's identity obediently threatened?"
"Because of that person, Luo Wenbin knows ......."
"What's ......", Murong Ke exclaimed, feeling that what Yang Xiaoling said was getting more and more outrageous, no, it was getting more and more unbelievable. After sorting out his thoughts, he became more and more puzzled: "But with Luo Wenbin's identity, even if he knows that person, how can he really believe that it was that person who destroyed your Qingshui Villa, and he still has the ability to attack Luoxue Valley again?"
"Yes, with Luo Wenbin's identity as the head of the No. 1 martial arts family today, it is indeed not easy to threaten him. He was able to be threatened by that person because he knew that person. But even so, it is impossible to make him obedient, but ......", Yang Xiaoling took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "However, because of that person's former identity, Luo Wenbin really has to believe what he said. Therefore, that person asked Luo Wenbin to kill my eldest brother on the wedding day, and he could only comply, otherwise, Luoxue Valley would become the second Qingshui Villa."
"Who is that person"?
Yang Xiaoling looked into the distance with empty eyes, and after a while, he said coldly: "That person is the father-in-law who saved me and my sister when my family suffered a disaster ten years ago, and raised our brother and sister to adulthood."
