Jiang Shiyi suddenly stopped in her tracks: "Back then, Bai Yu, under the guise of the old alliance leader, handed over the sword box where the monster was hiding to them, and instructed them to open it only when they got the Thunder Sword and returned to shore."
“It was a monster they had never seen before, a Night Spirit.” Jiang Shiyi recalled the day she learned the truth. “In the end, it was killed by sunlight, and Bai Yu naturally squeezed Jiang Yuan out. But that was not the end. What he really wanted was not just to destroy these five people, but everything they had.”
“I guessed right…” Jiang Shiyi’s words perfectly matched Jiang Yingyue’s guess. This was Bai Yu’s revenge plan that he had been plotting for nearly twenty years.
Raindrops continued to fall on the two of them. Jiang Shiyi sighed, "Even the old leader's illness back then was caused by him. You should know that he had someone by his side who was very skilled in medicine."
Jiang Yingyue pondered. Bai Yu's meticulous mind made him seem difficult to deal with. Was her visit to Yan Tang also part of his plan? Thinking of this, Jiang Yingyue's heart suddenly tightened, and she immediately ran towards the place where they had parted ways.
However, the place was deserted, with only the three horses remaining in place.
“No…” Jiang Yingyue’s face immediately filled with worry. Bai Yu really wouldn’t give up the opportunity to separate them. “They are in danger.”
"I'm afraid the only one truly in danger is Qingzhu."
Jiang Shiyi caught up and bluntly exposed the truth: "I told you long ago that Ji Yinglei is a mole, but you still kept her by your side until today."
Jiang Yingyue was also stunned. What should she say? That she didn't believe his answer? That she was just playing along?
"Don't tell me you still have any ties to your fellow disciples." Jiang Shiyi's face also began to show anger. Now that Jiang Yingyue can't even make a decision, what does she have to challenge Bai Yu with? "She has never had any feelings for you. Don't forget what the Bright Moon Sect has been through."
He brought up the memory Jiang Yingyue least wanted to face. How could she forget? For so long, she had never forgotten why she came here, but she had also seen what had happened these past few days. Ji Yinglei had countless opportunities to kill her, but she did not.
Which side is true? Which side is false?
“There’s no point in continuing to linger here.” Jiang Yingyue seemed to have made up her mind. She leaped onto her horse but didn’t dare to look at Jiang Shiyi again. “Now that I have gained Jiuxiao’s approval, the Lord of the Pavilion will know my determination.”
Where she couldn't see, Jiang Shiyi's expression softened slightly.
Just before Jiang Yingyue was about to ride away, Jiang Shiyi spoke up: "When everything is over, remember to tell Qingzhu to find someone else. Her youth should not be wasted on me."
Jiang Yingyue was stunned for a moment, seemingly not expecting him to say that: "You should tell her that yourself." Then, she left without looking back, heading to the Heavenly Alliance to face her own destiny.
Rain lashed against her face. Jiang Shiyi's words were clearly a reminder that Tingyu Tower could only offer the truth. But that wasn't Jiang Yingyue's immediate concern. Her priority was to find out what had happened to the other two.
As she suddenly tightened the reins, the horse came to a swift stop. For some reason, Jiang Yingyue's hand even trembled slightly. She turned her head and looked at the cold stone steps that led to a dark, imposing door.
The plaque above it bore three large characters, three characters that weighed heavily on her heart like a boulder: Heavenly Alliance.
