Nangong Ling'er glanced at Nanmen Yihen and said, "Sect Leader Nanmen, this is your own family matter. In principle, we shouldn't say much, but this matter involves too many people. Elder Xiao of my Heavenly Sword Sect is still in a coma and his life is uncertain. Sect Leader Qin of Kunlun Immortal Sect has also died in the Northern Plains, and there are also disciples in the immortal sect. So... how are you going to deal with your sister?"
Nanmen Yihen felt increasingly distressed. He frowned, bowed to the people of the Heavenly Sword Sect, and then bowed to the others around him. "Everyone, as the eldest brother, I am willing to atone for my sister's sins!"
At this moment, Nanmen Ruoxuan's emotions grew increasingly agitated. Her seemingly sarcastic smile was masked by uncontrollable tears, as if she were filled with grievance and resentment. "Nanmen Yihan, stop pretending! I take responsibility for my own actions. I don't need your hypocritical words!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Nanmen Ruoxuan raised the dagger in her hand and stabbed it towards her heart. But Nanmen Yihen was quick-witted and grabbed the blade of the dagger. Then he slapped Nanmen Ruoxuan across the face.
“Xuan’er, you’re hopeless. A man can make you so despondent? Fine! I admit that I orchestrated Tuoba Hongen’s death, and I also helped arrange the woman he kept outside. I knew Father treated him like his own son and wanted to marry you to him, so that he would be forever bound to our Nanmen family. Tuoba Hongen is indeed talented and more capable than me, but think about it carefully, do you think I would be jealous of him? Don’t you know what kind of person Father is? Even if he liked Tuoba Hongen, would he let an outsider inherit the Nanmen family? Ridiculous! All the elders of my uncle’s generation were on my side back then. It’s no exaggeration to say that I could have pushed Father off the position of sect leader back then. Even if Father was old and senile and wanted to pass the position of sect leader to Tuoba Hongen, what could that bastard use to fight me?”
"Hehehe... You finally admit it, but you still killed him because you were afraid. You blocked our marriage because you were afraid that he would be qualified to compete with you after becoming the son-in-law of the Nanmen family!"
"How can you still not understand?! Xuan'er, if he were truly your destined lover, how could I, your elder brother, harm him? The three of us grew up together. Don't you know whether he has feelings for you or not? Why do you insist on deceiving yourself? Wasn't his request for you from Father solely for status? How has our Nanmen family treated him? Father has treated him like his own son, and I've always considered him my younger brother. But what about him? Just because of his background, he despises himself. Whose fault is that? What kind of good person do you think he is? He'll stop at nothing to climb the social ladder. He once told me that he truly loved that woman named Jin Lian'en, but..." He turned around and, just to marry you, disregarded that woman's life and death, even plotting to have her violated. Jin Lian'en was foolish; she was clearly framed by her own man, yet she was still deceived. Tuoba Hong'en told her that it was someone from the Nanmen family who forced him to marry you, so they ordered people to harm Jin Lian'en. Jin Lian'en, feeling unworthy to be with him after being defiled by another man, chose to leave. Isn't such a hypocritical man a bastard? "Was I wrong? I can't control what evil he does, but he shouldn't have tried to take advantage of my sister, Xuan'er, do you understand?!"
Upon hearing this, Nanmen Ruoxuan actually believed it to some extent, but she still refused to believe it and immediately retorted, "Now that the person is dead, it's just your side of the story!"
Nanmen Yihen snorted coldly, then tore open his clothes, revealing the scars left by the penetrating wounds all over his body. He said coldly, "Back then, when Tuoba Hongen was sentenced to death, you tried everything to save him and let him go. That's right, he just chose his side and wanted to return to the Northern Barbarians. But he's an enemy! And he even hurt my sister. How could I let such a scoundrel live? That's why I've been keeping an eye on you. Even if you secretly let him go, I'll still send people to execute him!"
