Chapter 689 The Conspiracy Behind The Marriage
“Impossible!” Pei Xiewen blurted out instantly.
Bi Xiao and Bi You glanced at each other in surprise. They had no idea why Yun Lintian came up with this. Indeed, they were allies, but this matter shouldn’t be his concern.
A gloomy light flashed through Tianqi Junlai’s eyes, and this scene didn’t escape Yun Lintian. Before this, Yun Lintian always doubted the marriage between Bi You and Pei Xiewen. He didn’t believe it was solely because Pei Xiewen was obsessed with her.
Later, he learned that Pei Xiewen was holding Bi You’s younger sister hostage and forced her to marry him. It might be logical, but Yun Lintian felt there should be something more than that. Then, he suddenly remembered what Hongyue said back then—Bi You seemed to possess something special.
Following this notion, Yun Lintian quickly inquired about Bi You and learned that she indeed had a unique talent called Heavenly Eyes. Surprisingly, this talent was similar to Yun Lintian’s Eyes of Heaven but in a much weaker version. It allowed Bi You to see through the target’s profound strength, and once Bi You reached the higher realm, she could possibly sacrifice her lifeforce to look at one’s fate.
After knowing all of this, plus Tianqi Junlai’s earlier reaction, Yun Lintian immediately understood everything. This marriage should be set up by the Sky Qilin Clan. As for why the clan didn’t take Bi You in itself, it was because the Sky Qilin Clan had a custom of remaining pure bloodline. They would never marry outsiders.
“Impossible? Are you going to let your brother die?… Ah, I see. His life is probably worthless to you compared to the marriage.” Yun Lintian smiled mockingly. He turned to look at Pei Siwen and said playfully. “Did you hear it? It seems your brother doesn’t care much about you. What a pathetic.”
Pei Siwen’s lips twitched, but no word came out. He stared at his beloved older brother in disappointment.
“No, don’t listen to him, Siwen. I…” Pei Xiewen hurriedly explained upon seeing the lifeless look in his younger brother’s eyes. It was as though Pei Siwen had already given up on his own life.
“Hehehe. You don’t need to say anything. I know that you are crazy about her… How could you give up your lifetime happiness for a useless cripple like me?” Pei Siwen laughed shallowly. He tilted his head to look at Yun Lintian. The light in his eyes dimmed and was replaced with endless despair.
“Kill me… End my suffering… Please.” Pei Siwen said each word in sorrow. A few minutes ago, he was still a dazzling genius under the world’s spotlight. Now, he was nothing but a waste that everyone looked down upon. What was the point of living further?
“Siwen…” Pei Xiewen wanted to explain something, but he suddenly heard Tianqi Junlai’s voice.
“Let him die… Think about it. He’s already becoming like this. Let him go is the best way to relieve him.” Tianqi Junlai’s voice was plain, without any emotion. “Besides, don’t forget about the agreement between our clan. With the current conditions of your father and grandfather, I believe you could understand what would happen next.”
Pei Xiewen’s heart turned cold instantly. Anger, sorrow, and disappointment flushed into his body and soul. He was well aware that this marriage couldn’t happen without the Sky Qilin Clan. No matter how powerful his clan was, it was impossible for him to force Bi You into this situation.
At this moment, there were two choices for him. One, going against Tianqi Junlai and saving his younger brother. This choice could also mean the downfall of his clan. Another one was to obey him and let his brother die… What to choose now?
Noticing Pei Xiewen’s unusual tangled expression, Yun Lintian glanced at Tianqi Junlai, whose expression was completely calm, with great interest. Looked like what he guessed was true. Tianqi Junlai was behind all the conspiracies.
“Well, it seems you’ve made your decision, Young Master Pei. I will send your brother on the road now.” Yun Lintian chuckled slightly.
“You dare!” Pei Xiewen roared and wanted to rush out, but he couldn’t get rid of the clan elders’ restraint.
Yun Lintian shrugged carelessly and tightened his grip, causing Pei Siwen’s face to turn blue. His eyes bulged as if they could pop out at any moment. 𝗯𝗲𝐝𝐧𝗼𝐯𝗲𝐥.𝗻𝗲𝐭
“Ugh!” Pei Siwen struggled hard. His feet swung around, trying his best to survive.
“Huoyun Tian! I will definitely kill you!” Pei Xiewen roared madly.
Yun Lintian completely ignored Pei Xiewen and looked at Pei Siwen with a playful smile. “Well, seeing you want to survive badly, I change my mind now.” He loosened his grip and sent a strand of profound energy into Pei Siwen’s cracked Origin Core. The profound energy gradually transformed into a small fire, burning vigorously within it.
Afterward, Yun Lintian turned to look at Pei Xiewen and threw Pei Siwen at him. “Here, catch your beloved brother.”
Pei Xiewen saw his younger brother’s figure flying toward him. He hurriedly released profound energy and pulled the latter into his embrace. After checking that his younger brother was still alive, he raised his head to look at Yun Lintian coldly and asked. “What do you want to do?”
Yun Lintian laughed slightly. “Nothing. It’s too boring to kill such a weakling like him.” He turned to look in Zi Mo and Lang Mian’s directions. “Between you two, who wants to come first?”
Zi Mo shrank back uncontrollably, shivering in fright. Even Pei Siwen, who was much stronger than him, had become a vegetable under Yun Lintian’s hand. How could he dare to go up?
Zi Jinghu glared at Zi Mo angrily, but he knew in his heart that his son wasn’t Yun Lintian’s opponent at all. It was no different from committing suicide.
Meanwhile, Lang Mian’s eyes brightened. His body exuded a fighting spirit as he stood up.
“Give up when you can’t fight.” Lang Mo didn’t stop his son. He merely gave a reminder.
“Brother, he’s proficient in both speed and power. Using a mental attack might gain a result.” Lang Xue sent a sound transmission to her brother.
Lang Mian nodded and flew onto the platform.
Yun Lintian was surprised slightly. He thought that these two would hide like a turtle after witnessing his strength. It seemed everyone from the Netherworld Wolf Clan was different from the rest.
Lang Mian cupped his fists and said politely. “Lang Mian is asking Brother Huoyun for a good fight.”
