Long Sorrow Song - C104
Many things could happen in a year. Many people would be born, and many people would die. But there will always be things that will not change, things that time cannot change, and this thing is called — justice.
Ye Mo Han brought up the topic of the Jade Pavilion, and Lu Zibai frowned, pouring himself another cup of wine. He then asked Ye Mo Han: “Does Brother Yun know that the Jade Pavilion Master is already dead?”
“Dead?” Ye Mo Han’s head exploded. How could the master of the Emerald Jade Pavilion die? And how?
“It was Sect Leader Zhang from the Hua Mountain Sect who killed that pavilion master at the top of the Wild Goose Falling Peak. The tree had fallen and the monkeys had scattered. This Emerald Pavilion was like a fleeting flower in the martial world.” “Lu Zibai’s words were full of praise.” “The Sect Leader Zhang of the Hua Shan Sect is really a hero amongst the female disciples. No matter how well he has hidden himself, he still hasn’t been able to escape Sect Leader Zhang’s eyes.”
Ye Wen felt a chill run down his spine. Over the past year, he had been thinking about many different ways in which he had been killed by Zhang Qingwu. However, how could Zhang Qingwu make the people of Jianghu believe him? That day, Chen Shaochong admitted that the Pavilion Master had someone else. Furthermore, he did not want to be with Sun Muxia, so why didn’t these two raise any doubts?
Ye Mo Han pretended not to know Lu Zi Bai’s words: “I don’t know much about the martial arts world, so could I trouble Young Master Lu to explain in detail who exactly is this Ye Mo Han?”
Lu Zibai was obviously very attentive to the affairs of the martial arts world, and told all he knew about Ye Mo Han. In these rumors, Ye Mo Han roughly understood why Ye Mo Han had become the master of the Emerald Jade Pavilion. Zhang Qingwu had originally said that Chen Shaochong and Chi Feng’s deaths were to protect the real Pavilion Master Ye, Ye Mo, and this story about the car marshal had been confirmed by Sun Muxia and Wuyu. The three great sects’ leaders held the same theory, and even if this story wasn’t the truth, it would definitely become a fact because no one dared to question the words of the powerful ones. After the deaths of Chi Feng and Chen Shaochong, Zhang Qingwu found that things were not as simple as they seemed, so he asked Ye Wen Han to go to Falling Goose Peak to drink. While Zhang Qingwu was drinking with Ye Mo Han, he tried every means possible to see if Ye Mo Han was the master of the Jade Pavilion. Ye Mo Han kneeled down in front of Lin Mo Xiao and Ye Sheng’s tombs and said some words. He vowed to wipe out all the sects in the world, allowing the Jade Pavilion to rule the world and fulfill the wishes of his father and grandfather. As the saying goes, after drinking wine and spouting truths, Zhang Qingwu verified Ye Mo Han’s words and his doubts one by one, and confirmed that Ye Mo Han was without a doubt the true master of the Emerald Jade Pavilion. Thus, he took advantage of Ye Mo Han kneeling in front of the grave, and stabbed Ye Mo Han. Normally, how could Zhang Qingwu possibly defend against Ye Wen’s kung fu skills? Fortunately, Zhang Qingwu stabbed him, and while he was drunk, Zhang Qingwu pushed him into the bottomless abyss at the bottom of Wild Goose Peak.
The wine was as red as blood, and the taste was good, but it was not easy to make people drunk. Lu Ziming and Ye Mo Han had almost drunk all the wine, but they were still not drunk. Lu Zibai poured another cup of wine for Ye Mo Han, “Sect Leader Zhang is a wise man, if not for the fact that she is a demon known as Ye Mo Han, the martial world would probably be in turmoil forever.”
Lu Ziqing’s words had already expressed the view of the martial arts world as a whole: Ye Mo Han was already dead, but it also confirmed the reputation of the Jade Pavilion Master. The Jade Pavilion also disappeared along with Ye Mo Han’s death. These were all the words of Zhang Qingwu’s family, the loopholes frequently appeared, and Ye Qinghan felt helpless in his heart. He drank the wine in his mouth while scheming in his mind. He was very clear on his own situation. If his identity was discovered, not only would his life be lost, the Emerald Jade Pavilion would also stir up a ruckus once again. Where was the Emerald Jade Pavilion now? Had they secretly integrated into the Hua Shan Sect? Or had the Hua Shan Sect already completely become part of the Jade Pavilion? In any case, Zhang Qingwu had become inseparable from the Jade Pavilion in Ye Qingwu’s cold heart. The strange thing about Ye Wen was that Wu Xiang and Sun Muxia wanted to prove that he was the master of the Jade Pavilion. Was it because he had died? After the Hua Shan sect gave their evidence, the two of them tacitly did not ask about the martial arts world. Was this abnormal behavior related to the Jade Pavilion?
He was even more at a loss this time. He had a clear goal before leaving the valley, and that was to find the master of the Emerald Jade Pavilion, and after killing Zhang Qingwu, pulling him down from his position as the Sect Leader of the Hua Mountain Sect would be a secondary goal. Right now, it was as if the Jade Pavilion had been completely destroyed. If it really did not appear again, what would happen to Ye Mo Han?
“Brother Yun Du, you don’t look too good.” Lu Ziqing’s expression was the same as ever, obviously the two of them drank wine that would not make anyone drunk.
“Those who don’t get drunk get drunk.” Ye Mo Han let out a long sigh and drank the rest of the wine directly from the wine container. As the wine entered his mouth, the sweet taste became a piercing and spicy taste, burning Ye Mo’s heart and mind were in a mess.
Lu Zibai laughed heartily and said, “Brother Yun Du, no matter who you are, as long as what you do doesn’t affect the Lu bank, I, Lu Zibai, will make you a friend.”
Ye Zihan sat down and cupped his hands towards Lu Zicheng, expressing his gratitude, “Then I may have to stay in your place for a few more days. I hope Brother Lu can help me.”
Ye Mo Han wanted to stay at the Lu family for a few more days, and only after his martial arts recovered would he come up with other ideas. He had originally planned to go to the Mo family to find Mo Xi Yan and Liu Yi Yi Yi, but things were too far away and he was afraid of causing trouble. With Lu Ziyi’s position in the martial arts world, it was much safer for Ye Jianhan to live here than to roam around outside.
Lu Ziqing clapped her hands and said: “Brother Yun Du, what I have said is exactly what I had expected. There are almost five hundred hanger-ons in the Lu family, and if Brother Yun Du is willing to stay here, it will be a joyous event for our Lu family.”
Ye Mo Han laughed coldly in his heart. Lu Zi Bai said this because she was afraid that Ye Mo Han would harm the Lu family, so she quickly agreed to Ye Mo Han’s request. Her goal was to better monitor Ye Mo Han and see what kind of conspiracy he would come up with. Although the two of them were chatting merrily, Ye Mo Han could sense that the person in front of him, who was around the same age as him, was respected by everyone, and had a deep shrewdness to him. It was just that his shrewdness was different from Zhang Qingwu’s. As for Zhang Qingwu and the Emerald Jade Pavilion behind his back, they were the ones that made Ye Mo shudder. He had a hunch that Zhang Qingwu was just a chess piece under the pavilion master of the Emerald Jade Pavilion. If that was really the case, then wouldn’t Wu Dang and Shaolin Sect Leaders also be under the control of this Pavilion Master? Otherwise, why would these two have a tacit understanding to remain silent? The two of them really did not know what Ye Mo Han had been accused of and kept it a secret. Ye Mo Han had to step by step to find out.
