He had thought about it.
As long as Song Hui is willing to talk.
He believed it.
But Song Hui pursed her lips slightly.
He thought this incident was long forgotten, but he didn't expect it to be brought up again in this kind of situation.
“Yes,” he paused, then continued, “but what does that prove?”
The Grand Elder who caught the keyword: ...
So he was the only one kept in the dark?
The Grand Elder looked at the other elders in disbelief, only to find that they showed no surprise whatsoever, clearly indicating that they already knew about this.
In an instant, the Grand Elder realized that he had truly failed as a teacher.
I actually thought that Song Hui had truly given up his old ways and switched to cultivating the Path of Ruthlessness. I never imagined there was such a hidden story behind it all.
The problem is, since they all know about this...
Why not remind him?
Is he really that unpopular?
The Grand Elder never expected this.
It wasn't that no one reminded him back then; in fact, quite a few people did.
He was so immersed in the joy of Song Hui agreeing to cultivate the Path of Ruthlessness that he completely forgot their reminders and focused all his attention on how to teach Song Hui.
Even if they really wanted him to see things more clearly, they couldn't continue to spoil his fun.
Fortunately, Song Hui behaved himself and did not do anything outrageous, so the matter naturally came to an end.
After all, everyone has a period of youthful arrogance, and they can't keep harping on his mistakes forever.
Back then, who would have thought things would turn out this way? If they had, they would have knocked him unconscious rather than let him take on this disciple.
Seeing Song Hui ask this question, the Third Elder of the Miscellaneous Service Peak had no intention of letting him off the hook, and continued sarcastically:
"In the end, you didn't love him that much; you were just resentful."
"You're unwilling to accept that Xiao Ali, a mere novice disciple, looked down on you and rejected you. And now, you're unwilling to accept that she chose a Daoist partner from among those fellow disciples whose aptitude is far inferior to yours..."
"That's why you disregarded your master's orders and came down the mountain to Zayi Peak, just to find her, see her, and get an answer."
Grand Elder: "..."
If you're so unwilling to accept this, why not just win her over from the start? Why bother cultivating the Path of Ruthlessness?
How can this person be so conflicted?
It's such a waste of his time and his feelings.
As the only elder in the sect who knows the Ruthless Sword Technique.
The Grand Elder always wanted to find someone to inherit his mantle.
Otherwise, he always felt that one day, the essence of the Ruthless Sword Technique would be lost.
Originally, I thought Song Hui was an excellent candidate to cultivate the Path of Ruthlessness.
I never imagined that my courageous act would lead to the biggest setback of my life.
But the Grand Elder's reflections were premature.
Just when the First Elder thought this was the whole truth behind Song Hui's visit to Yan Li, the Third Elder spoke again:
"No matter what answer you get from Yan Li, you will kill her."
"At that time, your Ruthless Sword Technique will be considered complete. If all goes well, you will be able to break through the Void Realm and enter the Tribulation Transcending Realm in one fell swoop."
"If things don't go smoothly, it's just a matter of time before we succeed."
He looked at Song Hui, who was bound tightly, and couldn't help but find it amusing. This was the first time he had ever schemed so deeply.
"I'm afraid even the Grand Elder is unaware of this matter."
As he spoke, he glanced at the First Elder, who was still struggling with Song Hui's love-struck tendencies, and a slight smile appeared on his lips. He couldn't help but find it somewhat amusing.
If Song Hui hadn't tried to kill Ye Ning just now, he probably would have just thought he was overthinking things.
But at this moment, the Grand Elder was completely dumbfounded.
Some even couldn't keep up with the Third Elder's thought process.
One second they were saying his disciple was a lovelorn man, and the next second they're saying his disciple is planning to kill Yan Lizheng?
Has the Ruthless Sword Technique reached its peak?
What great achievement? It's a crooked and heretical path, how can it be compared to his ruthless sword technique?
His reputation...
If this is ruined, how will he ever be able to take on new apprentices?
As the Third Elder spoke, Song Hui's expression grew increasingly grim. When he revealed the deepest secret hidden in his heart, Song Hui could no longer contain himself:
"Enough!"
His once clear eyes were now bloodshot, and his thoughts were in turmoil. As if trying to confirm something, he almost murmured:
"I love Yan Li. I cultivate diligently so that I may be qualified to stand behind her. I want to protect her."
How could I possibly kill her?
“You are all bullying her, but I am different. I am the only light in her life. If it weren’t for me, she would have been devoured by these people today.”
“You know nothing, you are also sinners who killed her, and they are sinners too.”
Grand Elder: "..."
Whether he's a sinner or not is no longer important; he thinks he looks like a madman.
Could it be that he didn't care enough about him, which caused him to have a hysterical episode?
Song Hui slightly raised his eyes, completely ignoring how shocked everyone around him was by his words, and stared directly at Ye Ning behind Elder Danfeng:
“You also wanted to harm her, and you even lied to me. You deserve to die.”
Song Hui spoke each word clearly, but the ruthlessness in his eyes was obvious to everyone, and they couldn't help but look at the person he was looking at, Ye Ning.
Do you also want to harm her?
Ye Ning reacted in an instant, frowning as she looked at Song Hui, who was biting people indiscriminately like a mad dog:
