This is the temptation of the Red Fruit!
Rong Yi chuckled lightly, watching the scene unfold. This brat had always known what the other party could not refuse, but accepting it felt as unpleasant as swallowing a fly.
Ouyang Hao's expression twitched slightly; he was somewhat disdainful of Yun Tianmo's actions, yet he truly could not refuse.
"Why?"
Why did the credit for this matter fall on his daughter's shoulders? What exactly was Yun Tianmo planning?
Ouyang Hao's protective instincts for his daughter were no less than Bai Su's. If there was even a hint of danger in this matter, he would absolutely not agree. Even if it tarnished his daughter's virtue, so what? The young lady of the National Protector's Mystic Master Manor should not be reduced to being pointed at by others.
He would never bow to anyone!
"Bring it here." Yun Tianmo maintained her indifferent expression towards Ouyang Hao and coldly instructed the shadow guard.
The shadow guard turned and left, quickly returning, which made Ouyang Hao's forehead twitch with anger. Did they really not take the National Protector's Mystic Master Manor seriously?
With a cold snort, he saw the shadow guard carrying a round jar that looked like—
Ashes?
"The person who harmed your daughter is in here." The implication was clear: I have avenged your daughter, and I'm giving you this great achievement. You should agree quickly and stop hesitating or doubting.
What? The person who harmed Xin'er is contained within this jar?
Ouyang Hao glared furiously and stepped forward to snatch the jar away. How could someone who had hurt his daughter be treated so casually? The shadow guard dodged, refusing to let go. What a joke! Without the Master's orders, he dared not release his grip.
"Give it to me!"
The Shadow Guard looked at Yun Tianmo. After receiving a nod from him, he handed over the jar.
Ouyang Hao was also hot-tempered; as soon as he took hold of the jar, he wanted to smash it. This person deserved to die a thousand times over to quell the anger in his heart, especially since he was being pressured by Yun Tianmo because of this matter.
"Have your people not found out any news yet?" Yun Tianmo did not stop him and casually mentioned it. The rest was left for Ouyang Hao to comprehend on his own.
Ouyang Hao paused in his movements, hesitating. The implication of those words was that the jar contained ashes. Could it belong to that person?
"Zi Yi." Although Ouyang Hao had a fiery temper, he was not impulsive. He decided to call someone in to ask what had been discovered.
Dressed in gray, Zi Yi entered the study upon hearing the call. He cupped his fists toward those present and said, "What orders do you have, my lord?"
"Speak. What have you found out?"
In recent days, he had been busy calming Bai Su and worrying about his daughter's injuries, which had delayed this matter.
Upon hearing this, Zi Yi did not hold back. In front of Yun Tianmo and Rong Yi, he recounted what he had discovered, then cupped his fists again and exited.
"That guy again!" After listening to Zi Yi's report, Ouyang Hao gritted his teeth. The jar in his hand looked extremely dangerous. If he lost control even slightly, it might shatter.
Bai Zhan, a name that Ouyang Hao had hated for many years. If it weren't for him, how could Bai Su...
Rong Yi sat quietly beside them, maintaining a cold demeanor, but the way he gripped the armrest revealed that his heart was also unsettled. Even after so many years, with his cultivation level, he should have long since let go of all this; however, upon hearing the name Bai Jin, he could no longer remain calm.
Bai Zhan, what exactly do you want? Was it not enough to harm so many members of the Bai Clan back then? You even laid hands on your own brother's family. Thinking back on how he treated Bai Su and his own mother, this scourge truly cannot be allowed to remain any longer.
If it weren't for his moment of weakness back then, today Ouyang Zixin wouldn't be...
Both of them felt a tumult of emotions, while Yun Tianmo remained much calmer. After a while, he spoke up, "Bai Jin later allied with my royal brother and became useful to me."
"Your person? Then how did he..."
Yun Tianmo raised his hand to interrupt Ouyang Hao's question, saying, "Although ignorance is no excuse, I still granted him death."
Upon hearing this, Ouyang Hao's body shook, and he crushed a chess piece in his hand. The Ninth Prince was indeed ruthless. If this person was under his command and harmed his daughter, then it would be a senseless death. But why would Yun Tianmo act this way?
"Do you want to know the reason?" Rong Yi finally spoke up at this moment, as if asking Ouyang Hao but also helping him inquire about Yun Tianmo.
The matter of Bai Jin had not been explained clearly by Zi Yi back then, so it fell to Yun Tianmo to elaborate—
The person Bai Jin missed most in his life, besides his parents, was his sister Bai Su. They grew up together and had a very close bond. Later, when he learned that Bai Su was also persecuted, his hatred intensified, which made Yun Tianmo feel very assured using him.
However, it was precisely this assurance that led to him almost killing his own niece by mistake.
Bai Jin ultimately committed suicide because he realized he nearly ruined Yun Tianmo's plan. Coupled with regret, after so many years of finally seeing a relative, he almost killed her with his own hands. If that had happened, what difference would there be between him and Bai Zhan?
Thus, when he died, it was actually a relief. Thanks to Yun Tianmo's appearance, he did not become the kind of person he despised the most. This gratitude made him believe in the promise Yun Tianmo made during childhood.
As long as he remained loyal, even if he died, someone would avenge him.
Ouyang Hao did not expect Yun Tianmo to possess such a resolute spirit. He glanced at Rong Yi and thought that he had indeed found a good disciple.
Rong Yi naturally felt proud as well; although this brat often went against him, his mind was sharper than anyone else's.
"Hmph." Ouyang Hao let out a cold snort at Rong Yi's smugness, but he had no intention of destroying the jar in his hand.
Although Yun Tianmo's actions were not very ethical, for Ouyang Zixin or Bai Su, this was the best way to handle the situation. If they were to decide, it was likely that Bai Jin would not die, but he would continue to suffer, perhaps for a lifetime.
His suffering was already enough; death would truly be a relief for him.
When the revenge was finally achieved, they could offer three cups of wine at his grave to comfort his spirit.
"It seems I have no choice." Having come to this realization, Ouyang Hao said with a bitter smile, "Those who don't know might think we've gained a great advantage."
He bore both the credit and the reputation, yet the helplessness in it all was something only Ouyang Hao truly understood.
"Susu is kind-hearted." Rong Yi reminded Ouyang Hao that this matter must not be known by Bai Su under any circumstances.
"Are you saying I'm heartless?" Ouyang Hao protested; what was this all about? It was his disciple's actions, and now he was being blamed.
"Haha, why do you need to say it yourself?" Rong Yi's ethereal figure had already left the study as her laughter echoed, leaving Ouyang Hao fuming alone.
"Farewell." Yun Tianmo also exited the study, looking up at the night sky. Well, tonight's results were quite good. (To be continued.)
