Chapter 425: Chapter 425: Battle of Wits and Courage
As Li Tian and He Yuntian’s plan in Wind City began to unfold, Lin Yun, back in the Flawless Palace, also made his move. And so, early one morning, Lin Yun sauntered over to Bai Zhicheng’s small courtyard.Upon seeing Lin Yun arrive, Bai Zhicheng enthusiastically welcomed him into the main hall. The two sat down, and Bai Zhicheng even personally poured Lin Yun a cup of tea.
"Haha, Brother Lin, your visit to my humble abode truly brings it great honor," Bai Zhicheng said with a hearty laugh. Judging by his demeanor, it seemed he really considered Lin Yun a brother.
"Not at all, Brother Bai. You’re too kind. I have always been under your care, so it is only natural that I pay you a visit," Lin Yun replied with a smile.
The two made small talk for a while. Seeing them like this, any outsider would have surely thought they were the best of friends.
After chatting about many trivial matters, Bai Zhicheng suddenly said, "Brother Lin, since we are friends, there are some things I feel I must remind you about."
"Oh? Please, go on, Brother Bai," Lin Yun said upon hearing this.
"Brother Lin, are you aware that the struggle between the Ten Core Disciples is not as simple as it appears on the surface..." Bai Zhicheng explained at length.
According to Bai Zhicheng, the most powerful factions among the Ten Core Disciples were those led by Gong Lingqi and Chang Jing. The two had not only roped in many Direct Disciples and Inner Sect Disciples, but even other Core Disciples had joined their camps.
Furthermore, in the Flawless Palace, power alone wasn’t enough to win these struggles. After all, the Punishment Hall was always watching. If someone was caught with incriminating evidence against them, they would inevitably face the Punishment Hall’s discipline.
