Chapter 358 The Young Singer's Journey 27
Baili Dongjun hadn't expected Xiao Yu to bring up his past with Yueyao, and his expression instantly became complicated. However, he quickly forced himself to calm down: "My initial intention in going to Langyue Blessed Land was to persuade Yuefeng City to give up the idea of restoring the kingdom, not..."
"Do you even believe that yourself?" Xiao Yu interrupted him without any politeness.
Baili Dongjun was speechless.
Yes!
He went to Langyue Blessed Land at Yueyao's request, and his original intention was indeed to persuade Yuefeng City to give up on restoring the country, but who would believe such a reason?
Helpless, Baili Dongjun could only sigh: "The past is complicated and difficult to understand. However, I, Baili Dongjun, have always acted with a clear conscience. I have my own considerations and decisions regarding Yueyao and Yuefeng City. If you insist on distorting things in this way, I have nothing more to say."
"Acting with a clear conscience?" Upon hearing this, Xiao Yu's lips curled into a sarcastic smile, as if he had heard the most absurd joke in the world: "How dare you say such a thing?"
"After the fall of the Northern Kingdom, it was determined to restore the kingdom. It secretly contacted the Northern Barbarians' Iron Cavalry. As long as Yuefeng City breaks through the ninth level of the Void Thought Technique and emerges from seclusion, it will not hesitate to march south. The flames of war will reignite within the territory of the Northern Kingdom, and the people will once again fall into dire straits."
"You know this clearly, yet you still chose to agree to go to Langyue Paradise for the sake of so-called love. How is this any different from treason and collusion with the enemy?"
"Furthermore..." Xiao Yu's voice was full of sarcasm: "If it weren't for you, how could Ye Dingzhi have ended up in such a miserable state?"
Ye Dingzhi and Yue Yao are Baili Dongjun's weaknesses. In the previous life, Xiao Yu was able to use the two of them to berate Baili Dongjun to the point of collapse and going mad. Now, mentioning their names again can still easily touch his mind.
Anger flashed across Baili Dongjun's face. He flung his sleeve and roared, "Hmph! Are you trying to pin all the blame on me, Baili Dongjun, by making such unfounded accusations?"
Faced with Baili Dongjun's anger, Xiao Yu remained unusually calm: "If Ye Dingzhi hadn't tried to save you, would he have been targeted by the people from Tianwaitian? How could he have gotten entangled with that person and ended up like that?"
"Don't forget, the initial target of the Outer Heavens was you!"
"From a certain perspective, Ye Dingzhi is simply taking on the suffering that you should have faced."
"So you yourself tell me, did Ye Dingzhi's final fate have anything to do with you?"
Baili Dongjun's eyes suddenly widened, and he stood frozen in place as if struck by lightning.
He had never considered the issue from this perspective; all he had ever seen was Ye Dingzhi going mad and losing his mind because of Yi Wenjun. In the end, disregarding the lives of the people of Beili, he led the Demonic Sect on an eastward expedition in a near-mad manner.
In his mind, Ye Dingzhi had gone astray, but he never thought deeply about why Ye Dingzhi would embark on this path of no return.
However, at this moment, Xiao Yu's words struck him like a heavy hammer, forcing him to re-examine everything from the past.
Thus, a chilling truth gradually surfaced.
It turns out that he was the source of all the tragedies; he was the one who inadvertently ignited this series of disasters.
If it weren't for capturing him, Tianwaitian wouldn't have gone to Tianqi City to disrupt the school's grand exam, and Brother Yun wouldn't have been seriously injured while saving him.
If Yun Ge hadn't been injured, he wouldn't have ended up in the backyard of Jingyu Prince's Mansion, and he certainly wouldn't have met Yi Wenjun there, thus beginning that ill-fated relationship.
That's right!
He, Baili Dongjun, was the one who started all this misfortune.
He was the one who pushed Brother Yun into that endless abyss, making Brother Yun suffer hardships he shouldn't have had to endure.
For so many years, Baili Dongjun has felt guilty for accidentally killing his beloved. Now, this guilt has been compounded by the fact that he has harmed his close friend.
Almost instantly, his defenses were destroyed by endless self-blame and guilt.
The emotions that had been building up for over a decade surged forth like a flood bursting its banks, leaving him almost breathless.
Seeing Baili Dongjun's pained expression, Xiao Yu felt much more at ease.
Sure enough, he really hated those who were obsessed with love, especially those who couldn't distinguish right from wrong, disregarded national interests, and only knew how to indulge in romance.
When it comes to being love-struck, Xiao Yu feels like he can't help but want to curse.
I couldn't help it, I really couldn't help it!
After engaging in all sorts of foolish and disgusting behaviors that harm others and themselves, these love-struck individuals always put on an innocent and pitiful act, as if they were the most heartbroken victims in the world. This is utterly disgusting.
What's even more unbearable is that they use love as a shield, trying to get the people who have truly been hurt to forgive them.
If you refuse to forgive, they will accuse you of being unkind and cruel, portraying you as a heinous villain.
If possible, I really hope that people obsessed with love can have their own independent world and stop bothering those of us who are trying to live normal lives.
……
The crowd downstairs watched as Baili Dongjun struggled and writhed in pain atop the pavilion, confirming that Xiao Yu's words were true. The scene instantly spiraled out of control.
Baili Dongjun, the most respected and respected figure in the martial arts world, is actually colluding with Bei Que and even once tried to rescue Emperor Yue Fengcheng of Bei Que!
Isn't this treason?
This news came as a bolt from the blue, shocking everyone present.
They had no time to consider whether Baili Dongjun and Yueyao's feelings were genuine or feigned, let alone investigate how deeply they had loved each other.
All they cared about was that Baili Dongjun had actually disregarded the safety of Beili for the sake of the Beique Princess, and instead went to help the Beique Emperor.
This action immediately touched a nerve with everyone.
Back then, Ye Dingzhi alone caused chaos and unrest in Beili.
If Baili Dongjun had actually succeeded in saving Yuefeng City back then, given Yuefeng City's hatred for Beili, Beili would undoubtedly have faced an even more severe and difficult situation to manage.
Upon realizing this, everyone gasped in shock.
Good guy!
They originally thought Ye Dingzhi was already a major scourge to Beili, but they never expected that there would be an even greater threat.
In particular, this person had the Zhenxi Marquis's mansion as a cover, and he was also the number one martial artist in the world at the time, making him even more concealed.
"Is Baili Dongjun's insistence on sending Ye Dingzhi's son back to Tianwaitian a scheme to have him unite the remnants of Beique and invade Beili again?"
In the crowd, someone muttered something under their breath, which immediately drew a chorus of agreement and discussion from many others.
