Chapter 272.2
Tang Fei sighed and said with a wry smile, “Unexpectedly, our master has been working hard for Ziqing Sacred Land all his life, and in the end he became the victim of two traitors fighting for power and profit.”
After Murong Pianpian was silent for a long time, she whispered, “Then how do you know all this?”
Tang Fei laughed at himself and said, “Master is dead, but the Second Elder’s plan failed. Instead, the Great Elder’s lineage completely controlled the power of Sacred Land. The Second Elder was naturally unwilling. But for people like him, if he is not fully sure, or if he is pushed into a desperate situation, how can he take the lead himself? And after the death of the master, I, as the future successor of the Ziqing Sacred Land’s Holy Lord, naturally became his best tool. He secretly spread the news that our master was actually poisoned instead of being in seclusion to me before. Although he didn’t say who the person that poisoned our master was, with the Great Elder’s attitude at that time, anyone would immediately doubt him.”
Murong Pianpian was taken aback, “The one who spread the news of our master’s poisoning turned out to be someone from the Second Elder?”
Tang Fei nodded, “When I first heard the news, I didn’t act rashly, but wanted to find out the source of the news first. After all, such news cannot be groundless, and those who spread the news must have some ulterior motives. To figure out their purpose, I searched and searched, and finally found the second Elder.”
Speaking of this, Tang Fei suddenly asked back, “Do you still remember that there is a disciple named ‘Tao Yuan’ under the Second Elder’s lineage?”
Murong Pianpian nodded, “I remember that she looks ordinary, but she is extremely tall. Her reputation… is not very good among the disciples. I heard that she is bitter and mean, jealous of the talented, and many people are very dissatisfied with her. It can be said that also very strange, but the Second Elder is extremely dependent on her, and many important things will be entrusted to her.”
Speaking of this, Murong Pianpian suddenly eyes revealed doubts, “By the way, I remember that Tao Yuan seemed to have died in an experience two years ago. Could it be that this matter is also related to the Second Elder?”
Tang Fei nodded, and said with emotion, “You have become smarter.”
