Yu Shuang, along with her group of underlings, stormed into the Dark Pavilion headquarters.
Mr. Lan, the head of the Dark Pavilion, was originally in the neighboring country, secretly causing trouble for Chen Beiyan's development plan.
I never expected that things would turn out this way while I was away.
He never expected that his most prized disciple, Yu Shuang, would betray him!
Now that the young master is in prison and has been accused of plotting to murder the Duke of Zhenguo, the secret of the Dark Pavilion Master has been exposed.
The Dark Bureau's influence in Kyoto was completely drained, and what remained was wiped out by external forces.
The scattered forces, thanks to the antidote in Yu Shuang's possession, were able to rally support wherever they went, and most of them chose to betray the organization and join Yu Shuang.
They were about to storm the headquarters.
After years of planning and strategic moves, half a lifetime of effort was wasted because of Yu Shuang's unexpected turn of events.
Mr. Lan, who was known as a strategist, was so angry that he spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Go back immediately!! Clean house!!"
Despite all their calculations, they hadn't anticipated that Yu Shuang would crack the antidote.
How is that possible?
That was known as the most potent poison in the world, and the legendary doctor who could cure it had long since passed away.
He should be the only one who has the antidote...
I can't figure it out, I really can't figure it out...
He rushed back to headquarters to guard the crystal without stopping.
However, Yu Shuang's speed exceeded his expectations.
When he rushed back to his lair, the Dark Pavilion headquarters had already become Yu Shuang's personal fiefdom.
This gives him absolutely no chance to make amends.
Mr. Lan's heart sank.
Some things have already spiraled out of control, the future looks bleak, and I don't know how to break out of this predicament...
The only solution is to remain unchanged in the face of all changes.
His grand plan was not yet complete; there was still someone in the Kyoto prison waiting for him to return and rescue.
He cannot live without the Dark Pavilion!
He relied on the fact that he was Yu Shuang's master, that all of Yu Shuang's skills were trained by him, and that he had saved Yu Shuang's life and educated her, and so on...
Yu Shuang couldn't do anything to him.
So, fearlessly walking into the trap, still maintaining the air of a superior, he demanded to see Yu Shuang.
The members of the Dark Pavilion who had already betrayed the organization were unsure of Yu Shuang's attitude towards this Mr. Lan, so they still treated him with the same respect as before and invited him in.
Yu Shuang sat lazily in the head seat of the main hall.
This position, symbolizing the highest leader of the Dark Pavilion, has been held by Chen Beiyan and Old Man Lan before, and now it's her turn to sit there...
Seeing this, Old Man Lan suppressed a nameless rage.
Speaking in the tone of an elder or superior, they stand on the moral high ground to condemn Yu Shuang's betrayal of the young master.
He was vilified with all sorts of infamy, accused of betraying his teacher and ancestors, disloyal and unfilial, and inhumane and unjust.
It was as if Yu Shuang's betrayal of Chen Beiyan had violated the laws of heaven, arousing the wrath of both gods and men, and deserving of universal condemnation.
He then expressed his deep regret, saying that he had always valued Yu Shuang highly and was very disappointed that his disciple would betray him.
Finally, he persuaded Yu Shuang to lay down her weapons and repent. He said that if the young master could return unharmed, he would forgive and forget the past...
Yu Shuang watched his performance quietly, and said:
"You're dreaming."
This successfully brought Old Man Lan's confident and assertive speech to an abrupt halt.
I even doubted that I had heard correctly.
"you!…"
He couldn't believe that Yu Shuang would reply with such a vulgar and offensive remark.
Who taught you?
But there was no respect in the other person's eyes, only contempt and sarcasm.
"What do you mean, 'you'? You old codger, all talk about morality and righteousness, but all you've got are cunning tricks up your sleeve."
They'd do something as despicable as poisoning us just to control us, and they still call that a favor?
How dare you talk about gratitude?
They cultivate us as tools, use us as pawns, and discard us at any time. Is that what they consider kindness?
Perhaps you have some misunderstanding about gratitude?
Since it was all about exploitation from beginning to end, where is the gratitude? Where is the loyalty, filial piety, benevolence, and righteousness?
You've taken all the benefits, and you get to decide what's good and bad.
Why pretend to be so noble in front of Lao Tzu?
Even if we did, we've already repaid that debt after risking our lives for you all these years. If we really want to calculate it, we've saved your lives many times, so you should be the ones owing us a debt of gratitude.
Stop trying to use your ridiculous requests for favors to morally blackmail me; I won't fall for that.
Old Man Lan was stunned by the rebuttal, as if he couldn't believe that Yu Shuang would say such a thing.
This is absolutely unheard of and unseen!
Distorting the facts and going against the grain!
His trembling finger pointed at Yu Shuang.
"Nonsense! All fallacies!! Without me and the young master, where would you be today!?"
When you were a beggar, starving and on the verge of death, it was you and the young master who rescued you and gave you a way to live!
Otherwise you would have died in the street 10 years ago!!
Yu Shuang interrupted confidently:
Did I beg you to save me?
Old Man Lan trembled with anger, his eyes widening. It was as if he were saying:
How could there be such shameless people in the world?
Yu Shuang continued:
"You were the ones who wanted to save them, what does it have to do with me at the time?"
Alright, I'm too lazy to waste my breath on you. I'm busy setting up new rules right now.
"Guards—escort Mr. Lan and his companions to the Ten Thousand Serpent Cave. How could I not want to use such a wonderful place that Mr. Lan created?"
Old Man Lan's eyes widened. The Ten Thousand Serpent Cave was something he had created specifically to train members of the Dark Pavilion. How could he not know the dangers within?
Very few people manage to come out alive, and those who do come out alive are often incredibly tough.
Over the years, only a few outstanding assassins, such as Yu Shuang, have survived.
He took her as his disciple.
Later, it became the important execution ground for punishing members of the secret service who had made mistakes.
