923 14.199 Last Violet Star – Mastermind in the Events Ten Years Ago
Jin Baihua’s sudden outburst left the Lu Brothers dumbfounded. They knew, especially Lu Er knows, that everything Jin Baihua had said was real. Bai Qiyin and he were born with average talent in cultivation which is why even now they had only reached the stage of Golden Core but this is only thanks to all the resources Lu Yi and Hei Anjing prepared for them to use.
If I and Bai Qiyin were born in a normal household, they might not have even reached Qi Refinement Stage or become the cultivator of the current level they are now. The difference between a talented one to an ordinary talent is apparent. A talented person only needs to work on it once to understand it but an ordinary person has to put in ten times the effort to achieve the same result as a talented one.
But what if this ordinary talent is born in a household with lots of resources together with an elder brother whose talent is only geniuses while, on the other hand, the talented person was born in a poor family with no stable support at all? Adding up this situation and comparing the talented one to an ordinary talent is a possibility for the latter to beat the former or at the very least reach the same level of strength.
The difference between the poor and the rich makes things. An average talent cultivator as long as they have resources would be able to contend with the cultivation of a talented person who was born into a poor family and lacks resources.
Aside from the standing of one’s family, special circumstances like family bloodline also affect the path of a cultivator. Those who were born with special bloodlines were meant to be ahead of their peers of the same age. Compared to the Jin Tiangui Sect which only has money and to an immortal clan like the Bai Lengshui Sect. The latter would be more prominent than the former. Bloodlines were something they were born with and it was directly connected to the Origin of the family.
So compared to an illegitimate son who was born in poverty, Jin Baihua and Lu Er, who was born to the Lu Clan an Ancient Sect as one the second heir of the Lu Weifeng sect. Lu Er had more resources and his standing in the family was secured. After all, not all illegitimate children were fully accepted in a family. So to Jin Baihua, the Jin Tiangui Sect’s money had nothing to do with him. He is still the poorest in the Jin Clan and the only thing he got from joining this family is that he no longer needs to live in poverty.
That’s why from Jin Baihua’s point of view, Lu Er and Bai Qiyin who were born into prominent families were also privileged in their cultivation. They were born with average talent but because they come from a rich family they had no problems with resources to increase their strength plus one of them had a hidden bloodline.
In Jin Baihua’s eyes, it was unfair. He had more talent than these two. How come he had to beg for resources while they were directly given by their elder brothers even without asking for them? This is why Jin Baihua blames heaven’s unfairness when in reality, he is only envious of what these two, who were no different than weaklings in his eyes, have everything that he doesn’t have.
A loving family. Jin Baihua’s only family was gone the moment his mother died.
.....
A friendly clan or sect. As an illegitimate son, he had no right to resources like the legitimate born son possessed. He was even treated worse than a servant as he didn’t have the love of his father.
A friend. Jin Baihua was hated by his own clan and sect. There is no such thing as a friend. Only a deviant that was hated by the cultivation world itself, Cao Rumin was his sole bad friend but in the end, he still died.
A lover. He fell in love with someone who already had a lover. This someone is the heir of a great sect and was born to lead his own clan. Yun Huaxia’s standing is completely opposite of Jin Baihua who had no backing or family even talent was unequal. Jin Baihua already felt that his standing would never fit Yun Huaxia especially when the person he loves was never him.
This is why he hated Bai Qiyin. Born as a young master of a Great Sect and immortal clan. With average cultivation yet but born with a special bloodline. Plus that overprotective elder brother whose talent in cultivation is one in a thousand years. Jin Baihua felt it was unfair for someone untalented to stand beside the man he yearns for.
Unfortunately, Yun Huaxia can give him some kindness but never his love. This left Jin Baihua heartbroken and was also the last straw that made him choose to betray his whole race for the sake of a moment of care from the Devil named Fennu.
Lu Yi who could no longer bear it spoke out among the friends of Yun Huaxia. He was the oldest and most straightforward. He also knew about Jin Baihua’s love for his sworn brother. Who would notice that the pair of eyes full of jealousy keeps watching his friend and his friend’s Dao Companion? He just didn’t inform his brother as he was afraid that his kindness would make the relationship between him and his Dao Companion sour.
“Enough. What you are not meant to have would never be yours. Something you aren’t born into would never be your family. You are born with talents but you choose to use them to scheme against other people. If a person treats you kindly, why do you want to destroy that person’s happiness? You are envious of the other people in your generation but why should they care about you? You are just a stranger and not a family. Who are you to blame them? Do you think one can choose their own parents? Choose their own siblings? Or choose the life they are born with?”
“Wake up. The moment you are born what was given to you will be yours but what will you have in the future will be what you worked hard for. What’s the pinpoint of being jealous or envious of something that will never be yours? Is it better to create or work hard to get what you want? The moment you choose to do otherwise the result would be something you choose yourself. Grit your teeth and accept what you have chosen for yourself. Stupid brat!” Lu Yi said.
Jin Baihua was quiet but the expression on his face was too ugly to ignore. He was glaring at Lu Yi as if he wanted to eat him alive. Lu Yi was fearless even before dying once he stared back straight at the man’s glare and even raised an eyebrow while looking at him arrogantly.
Lu Yi continues to talk, “You said you hate my younger brother and the fiancé of A’Hua, Bai Yin. But in reality that wasn’t it, you only think they don’t deserve it as for those whom you were envious and hated, it should be A’Wuan and Chun Hongyun-Jun instead.”
“W-Why... Do you say so?” asked Jin Baihua.
The answer of Lu Yi is, “It is simple. Because they are the ones in the same generation as you. Shiyan was born in the same years as Bai Yin and Xiao Er. Erdi (” Yun Huaxia) and I were in the same generation as well. On the other hand, A’Wuan, Chun Hongyun-Jun, and you were in the same generation.”
“One is the Second Prince of the Yun Clan and one of the Twin Cloud Heirs of the Lan Zhuayun Sect. His talent was said to be even stronger than his elder brother. Meanwhile, the second one is the Senior Brother of one of the Great Sects, Bai Lengshui Sect. Even though he was not the heir of the Bai Clan his standing is even above the said heir. His talent is said to be monstrous and was called the Demon for his cruelty towards his enemies.”
“Being compared with two geniuses is like a nightmare for you. They had everything you do not have and even the talent you pride yourself on is even weaker than theirs. If not them that you hate, why would you make those rumors about A’Wuan being a Demonic Cultivator? Spread the relationship between the two of them and at the same time taint their reputation.” Lu Yi said.
Jin Baihua was startled for a moment but suddenly he grinned so evilly.
“Hate them? I won’t stoop that low. Let’s just say I loathe them.”
“You are so unreasonable! It’s not their fault they are born in the same generation as you!” Lu Er exclaimed.
Jin Baihua snorted and threw disdainful eyes at the Lu siblings. Before becoming a devil, Jin Baihua used to wear a mask of white lotus to keep his reputation clean. At least to the point, the masses wouldn’t have to think about his hateful origins. Now that he has become a devil he removes all pretense and his negative emotions are all evident on his face.
“Unreasonable? Me?! Was it my fault I was born in the same generation as them? That stupid old man would always compare me to the two of them. He would always say ‘That lad from the Bai Lengshui Sect or that Second Lord of the Lan Zhuayun Sect is...’ then disdain me for not being either of them.”
“Even before he died... That old thing never forgot to compare me to them and would also complain about how great it would be if one of his sons were either of the two of them. I don’t even think that annoying old man even remembers my name. Or maybe he never cared about any of his illegitimate children until the end.” Jin Baihua said.
Lu Yi thought of something and his face turned dark.
“How long has that Devil inside you been with you?”
“Don’t tell me even before you enter the Jin Tiangui Sect you’ve already signed the contract with the devil?”
“Are you the one who helped the Xie Clan to increase their strength secretly? Are you also the one who invited the Devil that almost destroyed the Lan Zhuayun Sect more than ten years ago? Also the mastermind behind the fifth prince becoming the vessel?”𝗳𝔯𝒆e𝘸𝗲𝗯𝓷𝗼𝘃𝘦l. 𝒄o𝓂
“You did all that didn’t you?”
Each of Lu Yi’s questions was about events that involve the devil race and the Seven Deadly Sins. Lu Er didn’t expect to hear these thoughts that his elder brother’s guess is plausible after all Jin Baihua’s only friend, Cao Rumin is also a devil’s vessel as he. There is no way Cao Rumin becoming a vessel for the high-ranking devil is a coincidence.
Lu Er asked, “Are you the one who made that notorious Demonic Cultivator, Cao Rumin become a Devil’s Vessel? Did you do all that to make Chun Hongyun-Jun and Brother Wuan fight them? Because you know that the only way to kill a devil inside a human body is to kill the vessel.”
“You placed a high-ranked devil in the Lan Zhuayun Sect intending to have him directly get involved with the Yun Clan and... your real target was not Brother Wuan but Chun Hongyun-Jun.”
Pfft!
“I did all of it so what if you know? Everything had happened already and... I get to kill one of those two loathsome men. I wanted to kill Chun Hongyun-Jun first to weaken the Lan Zhuayun Sect who would have thought that the Ice Demon would sacrifice himself instead. At that time, it made me so happy at how foolish they had become because of love. Hehehe~” Jin Baihua said.
Finally, the mastermind behind the movements of the Devil race had been unfolded. No one knows how long Jin Baihua had the devil in his body nor knew that he was involved in all the events that happened because of the Devil Race. Regardless, everyone was shocked by such sudden revelations.
