Tang Youyou remained calm and composed as she calmly said, "Third Elder, you should be aware that this Second Elder has been doing some shady things behind the scenes, right?"
As she spoke, she glanced at the Third Elder's expression. She saw that he frowned tightly and hesitated to speak for a long time, as if he was hiding something.
Seeing this, Tang Youyou seized the opportunity and probed indirectly, "Some things go against the will of heaven. Such schemes are doomed to fail. So, there's no need for you to cover for him. As for my master, he already knows all about these things."
By this time, those who had already been skeptical became even more so.
"Your master? He's not likely to care about these things. But if you have something that can pique my interest, I might consider it."
Hearing this, Tang Youyou smiled faintly. Regarding the Third Elder's words, she already had a plan in mind. People with desires are actually the easiest to handle.
Such people usually have simple motives.
Tang Youyou agreed and then asked, "May I ask what the Third Elder desires?"
"I have a simple desire. All I want is power."
Hearing this, Tang Youyou continued, "So, what you want is the Qingyun Sect?"
Hearing Tang Youyou's words, the Third Elder nodded in satisfaction and said enigmatically, "Very well."
At this point, their conversation came to a halt.
At the same time, there was a knock on the door. The person outside knocked very forcefully, which made both of them look over curiously.
Tang Youyou walked over first and slowly opened the door. She saw the person in front of her looking at her anxiously.
"You'er, are you okay?"
Hearing this, Tang Youyou finally recognized that the person in front of her was Hua Ling.
Seeing this, she turned to the person behind her and said, "Third Elder, my master has something to discuss with me, so I'll take my leave first."
Then Tang Youyou followed the person closely. After they went down the mountain, she asked, "Have you taken care of the matter I told you before?"
Hearing this, Hua Ling replied, "Since it's something you told me to do, of course I've done it seriously."
"I saw the First Elder before. But after he entered the Second Elder's residence today, he hasn't come out all day."
Something fishy was going on. Hearing this, Tang Youyou looked at Hua Ling with a mischievous smile and said, "Do you still want to watch a good show?"
"Of course. If I can, I'd love to."
Then, Tang Youyou led the person behind her towards the Second Elder's residence in the distance.
It didn't take long for them to reach the Second Elder's residence.
"Are you sure both of them are inside?"
Hearing this, Hua Ling nodded and said, "They should still be inside."
In the blink of an eye, Tang Youyou, who was originally beside him, had already appeared on the roof beam. She looked down at the Second Elder's courtyard and saw the two of them sitting opposite each other without saying a word.
This was rather strange.
Seeing this, Hua Ling climbed up too and quietly listened to their conversation.
"Master Liu, after all these years, can't you let it go? If we can control these people, our Qingyun Sect will surely thrive in the future."
Hearing this, Master Liu replied, "Your words have no effect on me at all. So, Second Elder, there's no need to waste your breath."
Being rejected again, the Second Elder obviously lost his patience.
The Second Elder roared angrily, "If that's the case, I won't detain you any longer. Please go back, Master Liu."
After receiving such an obvious dismissal order, Master Liu immediately stood up, opened the door, and walked out.
Seeing this, Tang Youyou was about to get off the roof beam when she found someone standing behind her.
"Hua Ling, there's no need to scare me in broad daylight, is there?"
As soon as she finished speaking, she saw another figure jump down. She heard Hua Ling say, "I'm not scaring you. I've been watching the movement of the person inside."
Before he could finish speaking, Tang Youyou immediately grabbed Hua Ling's arm, signaling him to be quiet.
In front of them stood a man with a blank expression.
They heard Master Liu ask, "What are you two doing here?"
When Tang Youyou saw this man, she suddenly felt a bit guilty and replied, "We're not doing anything. We just finished the tasks our master assigned us and are about to go back."
He glanced at the person standing beside Tang Youyou and suddenly said, "You go back first. Leave her here. I have something to ask her."
Hearing this, Hua Ling subconsciously looked at Tang Youyou. Seeing her nod, he reluctantly turned around and left.
As the sun was setting, Tang Youyou quietly followed this man until they reached a place full of flower fields. All the flowers here were Chinese flowering crabapples.
When they got there, Master Liu stopped and coldly asked, "Who on earth are you?"
Surprised by this sudden question, Tang Youyou evaded it and said, "I'm just a student here to learn. What other motives could I have?"
Hearing this, Master Liu looked at Tang Youyou with a half - smiling expression and said, "Do you think I can still trust you with your current behavior?"
Hearing this, there was a slight chill in Tang Youyou's eyes. She looked at Master Liu directly and asked, "So, as the Second Elder said, you still feel ashamed about what you did before."
"So what if I do?"
Seeing that his face remained unmoved, Tang Youyou said, "So, have you really forgotten all the romantic debts you owed before?"
Hearing Tang Youyou's words, Master Liu looked up at her. This was the first time he had observed her so closely.
On Tang Youyou's body, he seemed to see another figure.
"Shuang'er."
He couldn't help but say.
Hearing this, Tang Youyou sneered and said, "Master Liu, do you know that my mother finally gave birth to me with great difficulty back then, but you still wanted to kill her. Do you know that she finally died at your hands!"
Looking at Tang Youyou's face, Master Liu's expression changed drastically. He looked at Tang Youyou and asked, "So, you're Shuang'er's child?"
She naturally knew what this man meant. Although she could see that this man hadn't had an easy life over the years, she could never forget the harm he had caused to her mother.
"So what if I am? Do you think all your words can heal the wounds my mother suffered? You're now separated from her by life and death!"
