Chapter 112 Her adoptive father’s enemies blamed her for being ungrateful!
Ding Yuan secretly hated the manager of Wanzhuang for not keeping his mouth shut and telling everyone everything. Even if he was complacent and thought that Huo Siyuan was doomed to die, and wanted to let him know before he died, he should not betray him. If he had the guts, he should reveal his true identity!
However, if Master Wan had the good fortune to know the resentment in his heart, he would probably cry out for injustice.
Master Wan is well aware that villains die because they talk too much, so when killing people, he doesn't say a word and will not ask his opponent to talk about the traitor he has hired before he dies.
Si Yuan simply put the blame on Master Wan. After all, Master Wan was the only one who knew what was said between them at that time. Si Yuan just took the opportunity to put the blame on Master Wan and revealed Ding Yuan's identity as a traitor.
If Si Yuan hadn't felt that revealing the true identity of Master Wan in the same way might arouse suspicion, he might have said that the leader of the men in black revealed his true identity when they fought that night.
As the owner of Mingjian Villa, Master Wan has a very special status in the martial arts world. Even if Si Yuan said that he saw with his own eyes that night that the leader of the men in black was wearing a black scarf and that it was Master Wan's face, I'm afraid not many people would believe it, and he might even be bitten back.
The people of Sunset Sect would believe him as their leader, but it would be useless even if they did. They were not strong enough and were no match for Mingjian Villa. If they knew the truth, they would be outraged and might even cause an open hostility between Sunset Sect and Mingjian Villa.
In terms of personal strength, Si Yuan is not afraid of anyone, but in terms of power, there is a huge gap between the Sunset Sect and Mingjian Villa, the top force in the martial arts world.
If the Sunset Faction said that the attacking men in black were from Mingjian Villa without solid evidence, Mingjian Villa would certainly retaliate, and Mingjian Villa would have a legitimate reason to attack the Sunset Faction.
Si Yuan was not afraid of anything, as his strength was already invincible in this small world, but he had to consider the situation of the other members of the Sunset Faction and Huo Yunzi, the target of the mission.
Invincible strength is easy to be feared by others and be regarded as the "strong" one who bullies the weak. The Sunset Sect relied on Si Yuan's invincible strength to destroy Mingjian Villa without being able to produce any evidence. Other famous and upright sects that have old ties with Mingjian Villa are likely to label the Sunset Sect as a demonic sect.
Huo Yunzi, who was defined as a female devil by public opinion in the original plot, is likely to become the little devil daughter of Huo Siyuan, the big devil of the Sunset Sect.
To put it bluntly, the Sunset Sect is a righteous sect. Everything requires evidence, and it has to appear to be acceptable and have a legitimate explanation.
Mingjian Villa is also a famous and upright sect, so no matter how despicable its owner, Master Wan, is, he can only cover his face and do things in secret. In public, he has to pretend to be a righteous hero and manage his reputation.
But Si Yuan won't let it go just like that.
Just like when Master Wan covered his face to attack the Sunset Clan and almost wiped out the entire Sunset Clan, without solid evidence, the Sunset Clan could not openly accuse Mingjian Villa of being the murderer.
By the same token, Si Yuan covered his face and wiped out the entire Mingjian Villa. Without solid evidence, would the people of Mingjian Villa dare to say that they suspected it was the Sunset Sect who came to seek revenge?
Therefore, Si Yuan had no intention of seeking justice from Mingjian Villa openly. He decided to learn from Manor Master Wan and also learn from him to wear a mask and behave in a non-human manner.
As for revenge, any method is fine, as long as the enemy is killed.
Therefore, Si Yuan did not mention to the people of Sunset Sect that the man in black was from Mingjian Villa. He just picked out the traitor Ding Yuan and handed him over to everyone for public trial.
The Sunset Sect suffered such heavy losses on the night when they were attacked. It was a great contribution made by the traitor Ding Yuan who helped to poison the sect. Otherwise, even if the people brought by Master Wan could wipe out the Sunset Sect, most of them would have been killed. It would have been impossible for them to be wiped out like in the original plot.
In order to reduce the loss, Master Wan spent a lot of money to bribe Ding Yuan. He bought a high-level martial arts secret book, a bottle of Cao Huan Dan from the Divine Doctor Valley, and a large bag of century-old ginseng and ganoderma lucidum...
When the Sunset Clan members saw the things that were searched out of Ding Yuan's yard, their faces turned extremely ugly.
The elder with an injured arm in a sling said gloomily, "There aren't many forces that can offer so many things to bribe Ding Yuan."
That unknown martial arts secret book alone is enough to be placed in the Sunset Sect as the sect's secret book. The Cao Huan Dan from the Divine Doctor Valley is a holy medicine for healing and is extremely rare. Even the Sunset Sect only has a few bottles of it. The Sunset Sect does have century-old ginseng and Ganoderma lucidum, but it is impossible for them to be taken out and given to Ding Yuan, the sect's disciple, to use.
It’s no wonder that Ding Yuan was tempted to betray his master. It was really because the forces behind the scenes gave him too much.
The surviving senior elders of the Sunset Sect were discussing which force was behind the bribery of Ding Yuan.
As for the interrogation of Ding Yuan, Ding Yuan had no idea who the real power behind the scenes was, and the person who bribed him never revealed his true identity from beginning to end.
In the original plot, Huo Yunzi was able to learn the real culprit behind the scenes from Ding Yuan. That was because after the Sunset Sect was wiped out, Ding Yuan was hunted down by people sent by the owner of Wan Manor. He discovered the identity of the real culprit behind the scenes from the people who were chasing him, and then he knew that it was the people from Mingjian Villa who wiped out the Sunset Sect.
As for now, Master Wan failed in his attempt to wipe out the Sunset Sect, and he did not send anyone to hunt down Ding Yuan. Ding Yuan fell directly into Si Yuan's hands. Naturally, Ding Yuan had no chance to discover the identity of the real culprit behind the scenes, and interrogating him would yield no results.
The members of the Sunset Faction could only guess which force sent those men in black.
After much guessing, no one dared to guess that it was the top force among the famous and upright sects like Mingjian Villa.
Si Yuan said, "Well, without evidence, it's useless to guess. And since these people came here with masks on, and deliberately concealed their true martial arts skills when they attacked, it means that they dare not let others know about their actions this time. As long as we are more prepared and don't give them a chance to sneak attack, we don't have to worry about them attacking us openly."
Although the people of Sunset Faction were unwilling to accept the fact, they also knew that what Si Yuan said was right. They made all kinds of guesses here, but without any evidence, they would not know even if they guessed right. They also did not know where to start if they wanted to take revenge.
Moreover, seeing that the power behind the scenes only sent a small number of people to launch a masked sneak attack and almost wiped out the Sunset Sect, we know that the power behind the scenes must be very powerful. With the Sunset Sect suffering heavy losses now, even if they knew the true identity of the other party, they would be powerless to take revenge.
The people of Sunset Faction gave up their speculation and discussion in their hearts, and turned their cold and hateful eyes towards the traitor Ding Yuan.
Compared with unidentified external enemies, traitors like Ding Yuan are more hated. After all, a stab from the inside is more painful and deadly.
Ding Yuan's martial arts had been destroyed by Si Yuan, and the tendons in his hands and feet had been cut. He no longer had any hope for his future, thinking that he would just die, and there was no point in living.
But when the elders who had been kind to him all looked at him with hatred and loathing, he couldn't help but shudder. He suddenly realized that perhaps wanting to die was not such an easy thing.
The Sunset Clan really hated the traitor Ding Yuan to the core. Unable to find the real culprit behind the scenes, they took out their hatred on Ding Yuan. They were not willing to let Ding Yuan die easily, so they threw him into a water dungeon and tortured him.
Si Yuan didn't care about it at all. After he handed Ding Yuan over to the elders of the Sunset Sect to vent their hatred, he temporarily suppressed the matter.
There is no need to take revenge openly for the time being. Let's develop and expand the Sunset Sect first. Otherwise, everyone will think that the Sunset Sect, which possesses the peerless martial art "Heaven and Earth Sorrow", is a hot commodity, and everyone will want to take a bite. Wouldn't that be annoying?
Fang Jinyan was in a very bad mood. After all, she had just learned that the disciple whom she had raised like her own son turned out to be a traitor and a spy. She was sensitive and could not bear the blow.
Si Yuan comforted her, but when it seemed to have little effect, he brought Huo Yunzi in front of her to divert her attention.
Although Huo Yunzi was only seven or eight years old, her character seemed to be more resilient than her mother Fang Jinyan. After just a few days, she adjusted herself and practiced martial arts diligently to avenge the tragic deaths of her uncles, aunts, fellow disciples, and sisters.
She turned hatred into motivation for her own efforts, and did not immerse herself in the blow like Fang Jinyan, who was unable to extricate herself.
Si Yuan admired Huo Yunzi's character, but since he had occupied the original owner's body, he could not just ignore the original owner's wife Fang Jinyan. So he privately consulted with the young but precocious and sensible Huo Yunzi, and asked Huo Yunzi to pretend to be frightened and shocked and seek comfort from Fang Jinyan.
When Fang Jinyan found that her young daughter needed comfort more than she did, she would temporarily be busy comforting and taking care of her daughter and would not have the time to think about Ding Yuan's betrayal.
Seeing Fang Jinyan gradually returning to normal under Huo Yunzi's guidance, Si Yuan began to take revenge.
Si Yuan has always believed that revenge never takes overnight.
Of course, it doesn't mean that you shouldn't wait until the next day. He just means that if you can take revenge, you should do it as soon as possible and don't delay to avoid unexpected events.
So Si Yuan changed into an outfit exactly like the one worn by Master Wan that he had seen on the night he had just traveled through time. He was dressed in black from head to toe, even the material of the black clothes was the same. Finally, he covered his face with the same black scarf as Master Wan, and then Si Yuan set off for Mingjian Villa.
The Sunset Sect and Mingjian Villa are both located in the prosperous area of Jiangnan. In fact, the distance between the two residences is not too far, otherwise the Sunset Sect would not have been stuck in the sphere of influence of a medium-sized sect and unable to expand, because there is a Mingjian Villa nearby to suppress it.
This is also why in the original plot, after the Sunset Sect was wiped out, Mingjian Villa was able to legitimately adopt Huo Yunzi.
After all, the two sects are close to each other and can be considered neighbors. They have had a lot of interactions in the past and appear to have a good relationship.
