“Using the sect’s magical artifacts to change your appearance, framing others, imprisoning the true clan leader, and intending to harm his life. That’s two.”
“As for three…”
” He gripped the sword hilt, turned sideways to face Zhu Caiwei directly, and said coldly, “Deceiving the Chiqiong tribe, using their stupidity as a tool to conceal your crimes, and attempting to prevent my actions. Truly calculating.”
“But you’re mistaken about one thing. Since Xia Xianning has arrived here, no matter how many obstacles there are, I will not let you go.”
As he finished speaking, his momentum was overwhelming, his voice clear, and for a moment, no one around made a sound. These truths were too incredible, and almost everyone’s expression was bewildered and shocked.
Zhu Caiwei’s hand slid down from Sunda Dan’s shoulder. She pressed against the ground and slowly stood up straight. In this moment, her expression transformed from panic to calm.
“Junior Brother Xia,” Zhu Caiwei said with an unprecedented coldness, “Words require evidence. Are you trying to sow discord between me and my husband’s clan by bringing up our Changliu Sect’s personal grievances?”
Xia Xianning replied, “Of course, I have evidence.”
Zhu Caiwei said, “Either produce it or shut up!”
Xia Xianning smiled faintly and looked into the distance. Another voice then said, “Alright, I’ll show you.”
Luo Mingbai, bathed in moonlight, smiled and walked up the mountain.
At this moment, Luo Mingbai wore a beige long coat and had restored his original appearance. Already tall, he now looked even more slender and ethereal, with a clear temperament. Illuminated by the dim light, tree shadows and flower colors danced around him, making him seem almost like an immortal.
Most notably, he said he had evidence!
Zhu Caiwei was in extreme panic, unable to think of any other way out.
She shifted her gaze from Xia Xianning to Luo Mingbai, seeing the person she had once harmed now looking elegant and handsome. In contrast, she stood disheveled before him, instantly feeling an indescribable humiliation, as if she had been thoroughly mocked and shamed.
Luo Mingbai had only spoken one sentence. It was Zhu Caiwei herself who was narrow-minded, always feeling that when others helped her, it was out of pity. Such a character had long been destined to never feel gratitude or satisfaction.
Chapter 154: Retribution
Luo Mingbai’s true appearance was extraordinary, stunningly beautiful. The Chiqiong tribe members stared at him, momentarily unable to speak.
Zhu Caiwei almost didn’t want to speak to him, but at this point, she had no choice. She felt her throat constricted and said: “Junior Brother Luo.”
“
Luo Mingbai sneered, not even looking at her directly: “We’ve seen blood and blades between us, so we can call each other by name directly. Now…”
“Luo Mingbai!”
Zhu Caiwei suddenly screamed shrilly, interrupting him.
She said urgently: “I know I was wrong. I know I did things that hurt you before. But I was just momentarily confused. Luo Mingbai, I know what you want to ask me. Let’s find a place, and I’ll tell you everything! You’ve always been the most generous and least grudging. I’m your senior sister. We still have some connection, right? Please, I beg you!”
She spoke rapidly and anxiously, almost hysterically, completely unlike her usual self.
Luo Mingbai was stunned. Xia Xianning said, “Don’t pay her any attention.”
He moved aside, revealing the real Sunda Dan behind him, and said to Ruan Hui and Ruan Tu beside Luo Mingbai: “Your father is here.”
Ruan Hui was dumbfounded, and after a moment, suddenly screamed, crying and running towards the real Sunda Dan.
The corpse of the fake Sunda Dan was discovered by him. At the time, Ruan Hui had thought his father was already dead.
Earlier, while Xia Xianning had gone to track Zhu Caiwei, Luo Mingbai had released Ruan Tu, who had been trapped in a basket.
Sunshu ran out and went crazy, bumping around the room.
“
Luo Yingbai was originally extremely tired, but was now completely awake due to his commotion, helplessly getting up and opening the window. He saw Sunhui wandering aimlessly outside in the middle of the night, looking lost.
Sunshu saw the window open and immediately leaped outside, rushing into Sunhui’s arms.
Luo Yingbai noticed his red and swollen eyes, covered in dirt, and looking completely different from usual. He slowly supported his old waist and climbed out the window: “Sunhui, what’s wrong?”
Sunhui forced a slight smile and said, “No, nothing.”
Luo Yingbai raised an eyebrow and said, “Whether you’re afraid of Zhu Caiwei and want to act crazy so she pays less attention to you, or you hate her and want to pull her down from her position, I’ll be a good partner. If something has happened to you, you can consider telling me.”
Sunhui was stunned.
But the other party’s tone and demeanor suddenly made Sunhui feel strangely unfamiliar, as if standing from a higher position, seeing through all his inner thoughts and capable of changing them. He felt small and naive in front of Luo Yingbai.
Sunhui said, “I don’t know what you’re talking about. That person is my aunt.”
Luo Yingbai shook his head, gently wiping his face to dispel the illusion. His appearance returned to its original state, causing Sunhui’s eyes to widen. Luo Yingbai said, “I also came from the human tribe to find her and know what kind of person she is. At your age, knowing how to hide and protect yourself is good, but you’re still lacking. When you mention her, you smile, but your body language is stiff, panicked, and fearful.”
Sunhui had been suppressing his hatred, and now was rendered speechless. He gritted his teeth: “Yes! I’m afraid of her, so afraid I’m almost dying! Sunshu and I couldn’t successfully transform because she was wary of us, unwilling to let us grow up. Since marrying her, my father became like a different person, only caring about her, not caring about our life or death. Now she’s even killed my father! I hope she dies too!
Luo Yingbai smiled slightly, walked over, and patted Suntu’s fluffy head, and the little beast instantly transformed into a young boy. Suntu was shocked, sitting on the ground in a daze for a moment, then directly kowtowed to Luo Yingbai before running to his real father’s side. The family of three, having survived a disaster, hugged each other, just about to burst into tears when they were interrupted by Xia Xianning.
Xia Xianning’s voice remained flat: “Cry later. Sundan, may I ask if you can tell the truth now?” Luo Yingbai said: “Wait, I haven’t presented my evidence yet.”
He snapped his fingers, and two small animals that looked like deer nimbly ran up, knelt on their front legs, and placed the items on their backs onto the ground.
Luo Yingbai said: “Didn’t you just demand evidence from Xianning? Come, take a look.”
His clear and cold gaze fell on Zhu Caiwei’s face.
Zhu Caiwei felt like she was immersed in a basin of ice water, cold and wet all over, with every movement becoming stiff and numb.
She struggled to move her gaze from Luo Yingbai’s face to the ground, and amid the gasps and exclamations of the Chi Qiong tribe members, she saw the fake Sundan and An Ge’s corpses lying there.
Some people rushed out of the crowd and pounced on the bodies, confirming they were their relatives, and then crying broke out.
Zhao Bo angrily questioned: “Zhu Caiwei, what is going on! How dare you kill our tribespeople!”
Zhu Caiwei trembled slightly, then immediately said: “I don’t know what happened! I didn’t bring the bodies. How can you treat me as the murderer based on someone’s words, I…”
This time, Luo Yingbai didn’t even need to speak. Sun Hui had already started screaming: “She is the murderer! I saw her kill with my own eyes!”
