Chapter 111 Her adoptive father’s enemies blamed her for being ungrateful!
Wan Buyin's method of guiding public opinion to confuse right and wrong is very similar to the modern public opinion wars. He represents the capital that hires internet trolls to confuse right and wrong, and Huo Yunzi represents the victim who has been wronged and has no way to defend himself.
It's just that the original plot was described from the perspective of the male protagonist Wan Buyin, which beautified Wan Buyin's behavior a lot. However, even with such beautification, Si Yuan felt that there was nothing wrong with Huo Yunzi's revenge.
Si Yuan was somewhat thankful that his target in this world was not a love-brained person.
If the child he was going to raise was a love-brained person who loved Wan Buyin to death even though he knew that Wan Buyin was the son of his enemy, he was really worried that he would kill his own son for the sake of justice.
After practicing for more than a hundred years, Si Yuan is most annoyed by those brain-dead people who are in love. They don't have any normal human logic, and there is only love, love, and love in their minds.
Fortunately, each time he traveled through time, it was when Zizi was young. Even if Zizi was love-brained in the original plot, there would be enough time to change his mind.
After Si Yuan finished dealing with the aftermath of the Sunset Sect, he began to investigate the identity of the men in black who attacked the Sunset Sect.
Although he already knew the murderer's true identity from the original plot, he couldn't just act like he knew the truth out of thin air. He had to pretend to investigate, and then tell other high-level members of the Sunset Faction that the attackers were led by Master Wan of Mingjian Villa.
However, what is more important than finding the murderer now is to catch the spy Ding Yuan, the apprentice of the original owner.
Si Yuan traveled through time when the original owner was about to die under the sword of Master Wan Manor, and saved the original owner's life in time. He also rushed back in time to save the original owner's wife Fang Jinyan and some other people from the Sunset Sect.
But this time was not too early. The number of deaths in the Sunset Faction due to this attack was not small. The Sunset Faction was seriously damaged.
These people who died tragically need someone to sacrifice his own life to appease their resentment.
For example, Ding Yuan, the spy who betrayed the Sunset Clan.
In the original plot, Ding Yuan died at the hands of Huo Yunzi. After the Sunset Sect was wiped out, he took the benefits given by Master Wan and fled. Perhaps he guessed that Master Wan might kill to silence him, so he made preparations and fled in advance.
Master Wan only dared to send people to search and kill them secretly, and did not dare to openly hunt down the surviving disciples of the Sunset Sect.
So the efficiency of the hunt can be imagined. Ding Yuan was at large for many years, until Huo Yunzi grew up, practiced "Heaven and Earth Shared Sorrow" and made great progress in martial arts. She was lucky enough to accidentally discover Ding Yuan.
Ding Yuan has become a pretty good first-class master over the years, but he is no match for Huo Yunzi in terms of martial arts, so he was captured by Huo Yunzi.
At this time, Huo Yunzi already knew that the real culprit behind the Sunset Sect's massacre was most likely Master Wan, but he did not have the most solid evidence. He could not convict Master Wan just based on the fact that Wan Qi, the murderer who killed his mother, was also from Mingjian Villa.
After all, Master Wan could easily argue that Wan Qi was greedy and did such a thing on his own, and he, as the master of the manor, was kept in the dark.
After all, Master Wan is Huo Yunzi's adoptive father. He disguised himself very well before his true identity was exposed. Huo Yunzi also has a true father-daughter relationship with him, so she naturally hopes to get conclusive evidence and not wrongly accuse Master Wan.
Ding Yuan is the most solid evidence. As a traitor who caused the annihilation of the Sunset Sect, he must know who the real culprits who attacked the Sunset Sect were.
Ding Yuan, who fell into Huo Yunzi's hands and was interrogated, could not bear the torture and confessed the real murderer. The person who bribed him to poison his master was indeed Master Wan.
After Huo Yunzi learned the truth from Ding Yuan, she was sad and angry. She was sad that her guess had become a reality. The adoptive father who seemed to be very good to her turned out to be her enemy who wiped out her entire family. She was angry that she had recognized her enemy as her father for all these years and had been thinking about marrying her enemy's son.
In a fit of rage, Huo Yunzi killed Ding Yuan, the man who killed her entire family. She also acted on impulse and personally helped Master Wan to eliminate Ding Yuan as a witness. As a result, when she faced Wan Buyin's distortion of right and wrong, she could not produce much evidence to prove that her revenge was justified, which made her so frustrated that she went crazy.
Now that Si Yuan had traveled through time at the time of the original owner's death, the Sunset Sect had not been wiped out, so Ding Yuan naturally did not flee from the Sunset Sect, but stayed.
He thought that his method of poisoning was very advanced and that his master would never know that it was him who poisoned him, so there was no problem for him to stay and continue to be his good disciple.
In fact, if the original owner had not been replaced by Si Yuan, Ding Yuan’s idea would be correct.
Now Si Yuan just felt that Ding Yuan did not run away, which really saved him a lot of effort. Otherwise, he really felt that it would be too troublesome to hunt down Ding Yuan all over the place in such an inconvenient transportation in ancient times.
Now he just needs to find Ding Yuan in person and arrest him.
"Master? What do you want to talk to me about?" Ding Yuan was so frightened when he saw Si Yuan suddenly coming to his residence that he broke out in a cold sweat. However, he still tried to stay calm, as if he knew nothing.
Si Yuan looked at Ding Yuan and snorted coldly, saying, "Ding Yuan, you were just a beggar on the street back then. Who saved you from starvation and freezing to death and taught you martial arts?"
Ding Yuan replied calmly, "Yes, Master. I will always be grateful for your kindness in raising me."
Looking at Ding Yuan's attitude without any confusion or panic, Si Yuan knew that this traitor was an extremely selfish person who would not be bound by the so-called favors at all, nor would he struggle like Huo Yunzi in the original plot.
After all, the Sunset Sect had no hatred towards Ding Yuan, but only gratitude. Ding Yuan betrayed the entire Sunset Sect for the little benefit given by Master Wan, and he showed no mercy.
Si Yuan sneered, "So your way of repaying your kindness is to drug me and collude with the villains to destroy the Sunset Sect? This is the only way to avenge a deep hatred."
In the original plot, Huo Yunzi attacked Mingjian Villa to avenge the extermination of her family, but she was not as vicious as Ding Yuan in exterminating the entire family.
Although Ding Yuan was not the direct murderer of the Sunset Sect, he was also an indirect murderer. If he had not drugged the original owner, causing the poison to take effect so early and his martial arts to be severely damaged and die under the sword of Master Wan Manor, the Sunset Sect would not have been defeated so completely.
Ding Yuan still wanted to argue, he knew that with his martial arts skills he could not escape from Si Yuan, so he could only gamble that Si Yuan had no solid evidence and would stubbornly refuse to admit it.
However, when it came to dealing with Ding Yuan, Si Yuan didn't need to provide any evidence. He didn't even have to pretend to investigate who the traitor was. He simply arrested the man, crippled his martial arts, and sent him to the Sunset Sect's Punishment Hall. He then summoned the Sunset Sect's top leaders to put him on trial.
Many high-ranking members of the Sunset Sect gathered in the Punishment Hall. Seeing Ding Yuan lying on the ground like a puddle of mud after Si Yuan had destroyed his martial arts and his tendons, they asked in shock, "Master, what are you doing?"
Si Yuan glanced coldly at the pale-faced Ding Yuan lying on the ground, and said indifferently: "Before the attack, it was this beast who poisoned me, causing me to almost die under the sword of the leader of the men in black. He is a traitor of the Sunset Cult!"
"What?" The one who couldn't believe it the most was Fang Jinyan. When Ding Yuan was nearly frozen to death and starved to death when he was young, he was picked up by the original owner and brought back to the Sunset Sect. However, the original owner was only responsible for being a master who taught his disciples strictly. Then Fang Jinyan was a loving master's wife who took good care of young Ding Yuan. It can be said that she was no different from his biological mother.
When Fang Jinyan suddenly learned that the traitor who poisoned her husband and almost killed the entire Sunset Sect was actually the child she had raised, she couldn't accept it at all. She subconsciously hoped that Si Yuan had found the wrong traitor, rather than that she had raised an ungrateful person with all her effort.
Si Yuan looked at Fang Jinyan's shocked expression and sighed slightly. Although he was not the original owner, he had the original owner's memories and knew that the original owner and Fang Jinyan and her husband were dedicated to each of their disciples, especially disciples like Ding Yuan who were adopted as orphans. They raised them as their own children and were no different from their own flesh and blood.
Then, suddenly, they find out that the child they raised has betrayed them and poisoned them to kill everyone in the sect. Which master or mistress can tolerate this?
But the truth still needs to be told, Si Yuan nodded and said, "When I fought with the leader of the men in black that night, he told me the identity of the traitor who plotted against me in order to strike me down and make me reveal my flaws. I didn't quite believe it at first, but I did drink the tea that Ding Yuan handed over that day, and I also dug out the silver, money, martial arts secrets and other bribes that the other party gave to Ding Yuan in Ding Yuan's yard."
The Sunset Sect is only a medium-sized sect. Its resources are naturally not as good as those of the wealthy and powerful high-level forces like Mingjian Villa. Therefore, the things that Master Wan can use to bribe Ding Yuan are naturally very valuable and can completely impress Ding Yuan, who is just an ordinary disciple of the sect leader.
Although Ding Yuan was the head disciple of the Sunset Sect, he had several senior brothers and sisters above him, all of whom were better at martial arts than him and were also valued by their master and mistress. When it came to inheriting the position of the head, it would never be his turn. So Ding Yuan came up with the idea of making some money and running away, and betrayed the Sunset Sect without any hesitation.
Si Yuan looked at Fang Jinyan who still refused to believe the bad news and sighed, "Ding Yuan himself admitted it."
Fang Jinyan questioned Ding Yuan angrily, "Why did you betray your master? Have we ever done anything wrong to you? If it weren't for your master, you would have died somewhere long ago. Is this how you repay your master for raising you?"
Ding Yuan had nothing to say and just kept silent.
It's not that he doesn't know that his behavior is a despicable betrayal, but he is tempted by the interests of the people, and he is not a grateful person.
