Chapter 122 The Truth Revealed
Xiaoyuer stared coldly at Yaoyue, while the others exchanged bewildered glances, wondering why Yaoyue could be so excited and happy when her disciple had died on the ground.
Yaoyue could even laugh out loud. Her former arrogant image was gone, and her face became ferocious and terrifying. Her eerie laughter echoed in everyone's hearts.
Others assumed she was in such a state because she was heartbroken over the death of her disciple, but they eventually realized that whoever died in this final battle would be a great tragedy.
The death of either of these two young masters would be a great loss to the martial arts world of the Central Plains.
Only Jiang Fengyue and Xiaoyuer knew that Yaoyue was genuinely happy about Hua Wuque's death, and she couldn't wait to reveal the secret to everyone.
Xiaoyuer coldly replied, "What's so funny? Wasn't Hua Wuque's death a great loss to your Yihua Palace?"
Yaoyue laughed loudly at Xiaoyuer, "I really didn't expect that you would be the one to survive in the end, but it doesn't matter. The fact that you survived makes this all the more interesting."
Yan Nantian mistakenly believed that Yaoyue was about to attack Xiaoyuer because she had lost her disciple, so he stood up and stood in front of Xiaoyuer, shouting, "Yaoyue, what's wrong with you? If you want to avenge your dead disciple, then come at me. The next generation has already fought, now it's our turn."
Upon hearing this, Yaoyue laughed and said, "No rush, not at all. We will have a battle sooner or later, but it's not too late to fight after I tell you this secret."
A glimmer of light appeared in Xiaoyuer's eyes. A secret, indeed there was a secret. Yaoyue was about to reveal this secret to the world, which was exactly what he had been waiting for.
Everyone, including Yan Nantian, was completely baffled. Hua Wuque was dead, so what? Could there be something fishy going on?
Yan Nantian asked, "Secret? What secret?"
A cruel smile played on Yaoyue's eyes as she said leisurely, "Yan Nantian, are you also happy for Xiaoyuer? Do you think he finally avenged Jiang Feng, and that Jiang Feng's next generation will ultimately surpass the Yihua Palace, don't you?"
Yan Nantian asked in surprise, "Isn't that right? Hua Wuque lost, and that's it; he's dead, and that's it. What else do you have to say?"
Yaoyue sneered, "Anyone in the world can be happy for Hua Wuque's death, but you can't. Anyone in the world can kill Hua Wuque, but Xiaoyuer can't."
Little Fish frowned and asked, "Why?"
Yaoyue's eyes flickered, as if she could no longer suppress the excitement that had been buried in her heart for many years. With a cruel smile in her eyes, she looked at Xiaoyuer, pointed at Hua Wuque's "corpse," and said, "Do you know who he is?"
Little Fish couldn't help but ask, "Who is he?"
Yaoyue burst into maniacal laughter, the sound echoing through the valley. A beautiful woman's laughter should be gentle and melodious, but at this moment, Yaoyue's laughter sounded sinister, terrifying, and extremely grating.
She pointed at Hua Wuque and said, "Little Fish, let me tell you, the one you killed with your own hands was your twin brother, your own brother from the same mother!"
She then smiled at Yan Nantian and said, "Hero Yan, are you happy? Are you still happy? Hua Wuque is also Jiang Feng's son."
These words caused a stir among the crowd.
Xiao Yu'er was stunned and speechless. He now knew this shocking secret: the reason he and Hua Wuque got along so well was simply because they were brothers, blood brothers.
Yan Nantian stood there stunned for a long while before angrily shouting, "Bullshit!"
He didn't believe Yaoyue's words at all; he thought it was a lie she had deliberately fabricated to provoke him.
Inviting the Moon laughed, "You think I'm lying to you? Why would I lie to you? I've waited twenty long years for this. For twenty years, I raised Hua Wuque, taught him martial arts, and waited for this day. Today, I can finally reveal this secret. I'm so happy, so relieved!"
Yan Nantian roared, "No matter what you say, I won't believe a single word you say!"
Yaoyue laughed and said, "You'll believe it, you'll always believe it. If you think about it carefully, you'll see how similar they are. Look at their eyes, look at their noses..."
Then everyone compared Hua Wuque's face with Xiaoyuer's. When Hua Wuque was alive, he had a refined and elegant demeanor, while Xiaoyuer had a scar on his face and was too street-smart, so it was hard for outsiders to find them similar.
Only now, with Hua Wuque lying there quietly and Xiao Yu'er's face also cold and gloomy, can they see that the two look almost exactly alike.
Yan Nantian should have discovered it long ago, and everyone should have discovered it long ago.
Inviting the Moon laughed loudly, "So now you know why I kept pushing them to make their move? Do you know why I insisted on Hua Wuque killing Xiaoyuer? You could never have understood this before, but now you do, and you've figured it out, but it's too late, too late..."
This astonishing and bizarre secret struck everyone like a thunderbolt.
It seemed as if only Yaoyue's maniacal laughter remained in the world.
Thinking about Yaoyue's usual attitude towards Hua Wuque, and about Xiaoyuer and Hua Wuque's past interactions, they had no choice but to believe that the secret was true.
They were appalled by Yaoyue's utterly depraved behavior.
They were angry and sad, and they also felt pity and sympathy for Xiaoyuer and Hua Wuque, these were their unfortunate brothers.
The Murong sisters had never witnessed such a tragic scene before, and they all embraced each other and wept bitterly. Even Tie Zhan and the other elderly people who had lived for a long time and were well-versed in the world were so shocked by this that they could not utter a word.
Yan Nantian gazed at the dead Hua Wuque. Not long ago, he had regarded Hua Wuque as his enemy, but now Heaven was forcing him to accept the fact that Hua Wuque was also the son of his old friend.
He began to feel sorrow and regret, regretting why he had to let Xiaoyuer and Hua Wuque fight. He clearly had the opportunity and ability to stop the two of them. In an instant, he felt as if he had aged ten years.
Hatred!
It's all because of that damned hatred!
Hatred brings no glory to anyone; it brings only pain and destruction.
Xiaoyuer was still coldly staring at Yaoyue. Strangely, there was no hatred in his eyes, only deep sorrow and sympathy for Yaoyue.
Does someone who has been tormented by hatred for twenty years, which is almost half of her life, necessarily have an easier time?
Even worse things were yet to come.
Yaoyue met Xiaoyuer's gaze with a sinister grin and said, "Why are you looking at me like that? You killed your own brother with your own hands, don't you feel any sadness or grief at all?"
Jiang Fengyue walked up to Yaoyue at the right moment and sighed, "Palace Mistress Yaoyue, I originally thought that you and Hua Wuque had lived in the same place for twenty years, so you must have developed some feelings for each other."
Yaoyue sneered, "Feelings? Why would I have feelings for the son of my enemy?"
Jiang Fengyue shook her head and sighed softly, saying, "Now I understand why Jiang Feng didn't fall in love with you."
When Yaoyue heard Jiang Fengyue mention Jiang Feng, her expression changed slightly, but she quickly regained her smile and said, "It's no use mentioning him. If that despicable couple knew what happened today, they would probably regret leaving behind their two children before they died."
Jiang Fengyue walked up to Hua Wuque, gently patted several acupoints on Hua Wuque's body that facilitated breathing, and then channeled some of her inner energy into him.
He sighed, "You've heard everything you needed to hear. Wake up, Hua Wuque."
Yaoyue's face initially showed confusion, but it quickly turned to astonishment. Her eyes widened, and she could no longer laugh.
She never imagined such a thing could happen.
She watched as a person who should have died came back to life right before her eyes.
With Jiang Fengyue's help, Hua Wuque slowly stood up.
He gazed silently at Yaoyue, his eyes concealing a myriad of complex emotions.
