Chapter 442: Chapter 442: Defeat is Certain
The brother and sister hugged and cried. Lin Yun watched them without a word. After a long while, the girl finally lifted her head and murmured to Lin Yun, "Why did Senior Brother Chang want to kill my family?""It’s simple. Senior Brother Chang and I both wagered our Cultivation on this matter. Dead men tell no tales, and besides, I had you imprisoned here," Lin Yun replied.
"I understand. Thank you, Senior Brother Lin, for saving my younger brother. Tomorrow, I will tell the whole truth," she said, her tone somber.
After hearing the girl’s words, Lin Yun gave a slight nod and left. It was better to let the two siblings talk things over by themselves. Besides, he had no desire to stay there any longer.
As he left the Inner Sect Disciple area, Lin Yun assigned two Direct Disciples to stay behind and ensure the siblings’ safety.
"Did I go a little too far?" Lin Yun asked the Direct Disciple walking behind him.
At his words, the Direct Disciple who had rescued the little boy from Wind City reflected for a moment before speaking. "Senior Brother Lin, the Chen Family brought this upon themselves. If they hadn’t tried to frame you or allowed themselves to be used by Senior Brother Chang, they never would have met such a fate."
Hearing this, Lin Yun turned to the Direct Disciple and gave a self-deprecating smile. "You’re right. If I had been the one to fail, the He Family’s fate would have been no better than the Chen Family’s. This is all just a consequence of the games the powerful play."
The matter was essentially concluded. By the time Lin Yun returned to his courtyard, Little Ape, who had been secretly monitoring Chang Jing, had also returned.
At this point, Chang Jing’s defeat was sealed. There was no longer any use in having Little Ape continue to watch him.
When Lin Yun returned, Little Ape told him everything it had overheard over the past few days.
When Lin Yun heard the news that Guang Xuanji and Chang Jing were planning to flee Flawless Palace, his brow furrowed.
’Leave Flawless Palace? Where would Chang Jing go? Who is this Guang Xuanji? And what is this organization she mentioned?’ His intuition told him that there had to be some power backing Chang Jing, a power that had likely already infiltrated Flawless Palace.
’Things aren’t as simple as they seem. If even a Disciple like Chang Jing was roped in, could this organization be trying to secretly undermine Flawless Palace from within? To take control?’
He relayed this information to Li Tian, who, upon hearing it, stated that he had never caught wind of any similar rumors.
