"Gambling?" Ao Qian didn't react for a moment.
Aoqian didn't ask any further questions about Song Xiwei's claim that her mother was from the same school as her.
However, upon closer examination, Song Xiwei's words contained flaws. Her mother had never mentioned which sect she had ever studied under, and as for the Soul Pearl, it was highly likely that Song Xiwei had obtained it from elsewhere.
When he heard Kotoha mention making a bet, he vaguely sensed something was amiss.
But he didn't say much, he just watched Kotoha warily, waiting for him to continue.
Kotoha shook her head and said, "It seems you really have been kept in the dark. She really didn't tell you anything."
Aoqian frowned and stared at Yan Ye, "Explain yourself clearly!"
"Song Xiwei was our master's favorite disciple because she was talented, intelligent, hardworking, resilient, and brave. If she weren't so stubborn, perhaps she would always be everyone's pride. But ultimately, she was too stubborn and too self-righteous. Her stubbornness and self-righteousness alone were enough to get her into serious trouble..."
Kotoha only spoke halfway through her sentences, leaving Aoqian completely confused. However, he was very displeased to hear others talking about Song Xiwei in this way.
Looking at Yan Ye, who was no longer slightly polite to him because he was Song Xiwei's senior brother, Yan Ye's face darkened and he said coldly, "What does this have to do with the bet you mentioned earlier?"
“Of course there is a connection.” Yan Ye raised an eyebrow slightly, her gaze falling on Ao Qian. “The problem lies with you, young master.”
Ao Qian: "..."
He analyzed Yan Ye's words without reacting. Yan Ye smiled and said to him, "No one in the entire Six Realms cares about your life or death. The prophecy about our master may not be true. Besides, if there's any chaos in the prophecy, it's others who will cause trouble, not us. But there is one person who cares a lot, so much so that she offered to take over this mess."
Aoqian opened his mouth as if to speak, but no words came out.
"That's right, that person is Song Xiwei. Our master originally didn't intend to send her down the mountain. He just casually mentioned the prophecy in the sect. But no one else was interested in it. Only Song Xiwei took the initiative to go to our master and asked about your past. Not long after, she volunteered to help you."
As Kotoha finished speaking, he laughed again, a laugh that made Aoqian very uncomfortable.
"You must be wondering what I'm laughing at? Yes, what am I laughing at? I'm just laughing at her for not seeing reality. The Six Realms have always maintained a balance, but do you know that from the day you were born, there has been a prophecy that your existence will make the Demon Race surpass other races? As you grow older, this prophecy is attracting more and more attention from all realms. In order to maintain the balance of the Six Realms, the current ruler of the Demon Lord must be overthrown and a suitable person must be arranged to take his place."
At this point, Kotoha didn't continue, but her meaning was clear: the replacement was none other than Zelin.
"So, it's not just an internal strife within our demon race; other races of yours have also intervened?" Aoqian's tone was icy cold.
Yan Ye sighed softly, "If there hadn't been internal strife within your demon race, it wouldn't have been so easy for other races to manipulate things. This matter actually has nothing to do with our sect, and Song Xiwei was just an observer, but she still managed to get herself involved."
Speaking of Song Xiwei, Yan Ye was clearly a bit of a headache. "I didn't want to get involved in her affairs, but I have no choice but to explain it to you now."
