"Look at your brain!" Rong Yi said irritably. However, since it concerned Ouyang Zixin, he didn't keep them in suspense and explained, "We're saying that the girl has nothing to do with the Millennium Ruins."
"Yeah, I think so too. How could Xin'er be related to the Millennium Ruins at her age?" Ouyang Hao felt relieved upon hearing this. Since both of them said so, it must be true.
That's really enough.
Rong Yi truly didn't want to comment on Ouyang Hao. How did Susu fall for this thick-headed guy back then?
"This is just one-sided," Yun Tianmo remarked. Unlike Rong Yi, he always considered the worst possibilities so that he wouldn't be caught off guard if something happened.
Rong Yi glanced at his not-so-lovable disciple and said, "Right now, only a few of us know about this matter. How long do you think we can keep it a secret?"
Nan Gong Yao already knew about the ruins. Once Ouyang Zixin was able to get up, the first thing she would likely do is go to the palace to explain the situation. After that, what would happen wouldn't be something a mere Ouyang Manor could decide; even the Exiled Nation might not have a say.
"Once we enter the ruins, it's up to us," Yun Tianmo was determined to enter the ruins; no one could stop him.
"Wait, are you saying you want to enter the ruins?" This wouldn't do. Ouyang Hao quickly shook his head, indicating that this was not something these two could decide just by talking here. "Can you not say these things in front of me?"
The Millennium Ruins were rare and hard to come by, and Yun Tianmo naturally wanted to get in. He didn't care how he would do it, nor did he want to know. But why did they have to let him hear it? If the Sovereign asked later, wouldn't that put him in a difficult position?
"Do you think you can avoid it?" Rong Yi had probably found the reason why Bai Su could remain so innocent after all these years. For Bai Su, it was a good thing; however, for Ouyang Hao to still naively believe he wouldn't be involved was foolish.
Hmph, that's not naive; it's stupid.
"Let's talk about it when the time comes." Ouyang Hao really didn't want to listen anymore. He quickly stood up and said, "Anyway, I don't know anything. You can use this study for your discussion; I'm leaving."
After saying that, he opened the study door and strode out.
"You really don't have to be like this," Yun Tianmo said with a hint of amusement as he looked at Rong Yi. On one hand, he loved to bicker with Ouyang Hao and make him jealous; on the other hand, he wanted to help him stay out of it—at least keep Bai Su out of it.
Rong Yi sat back down casually and chuckled lightly, "I'm not that kind-hearted."
Yun Tianmo chose not to acknowledge it and was too lazy to deal with these troublesome matters of the elderly. He continued discussing the Millennium Ruins.
"How much do your people know?"
Yun Tianmo calculated in his mind and replied, "Less than one in ten thousand."
Holding Ouyang Zixin's painting, Rong Yi thought for a moment and began to worry, "It's too risky; the Girl can't handle it."
Given Ouyang Zixin's current physical condition, not only would entering the unknown Millennium Ruins be difficult, but even fighting a Mystical Beast would likely prove challenging. According to Yun Tianmo, Ouyang Zixin had to enter the ruins; just based on that Yin-Yang Fish diagram, she probably couldn't escape.
"I'll be there." Regarding the unknown, Yun Tianmo might not be entirely confident, but he was quite assured of his own cultivation.
However, his confidence only earned him a cold snort from Rong Yi. Rong Yi couldn't understand how he ended up with such an arrogant disciple. He completely forgot that he had once been just as confident as Yun Tianmo.
Well, since he couldn't think of a reason to avoid it now, he might as well consider who could be an ally and who might be a hindrance.
"Nangong Yao won't go personally; the most likely candidate is Li Feng by his side. As for the prince, it depends on how Nangong Yao views the Millennium Ruins." Yun Tianmo's first consideration was those in Exiled Nation—who would be temporary friends and who would be enemies.
If Nangong Yao valued the Millennium Ruins enough, he would definitely send his most favored prince along. Even if they gained nothing, it was necessary to at least take a walk inside. After all, there were so many skilled guards; at worst, they could ensure their survival.
"I heard that today people from Dream Nation came to inquire about the Girl's situation?" If Nangong Yao really sent Li Feng with people inside, then for Susu's sake, Rong Yi didn't think it was inappropriate for him to enter personally. However, he was somewhat concerned about Dream Nation's people coming to Capital of the Departed Nation to check on Ouyang Zixin's injuries.
"Yes, Bai Clan sent someone." Yun Tianmo hadn't expected Rong Yi to ask this and took a moment to remember that Baike seemed to have returned with Nangong Tuo when they left Lingchi Peak.
"I know that; what I mean is, what do they want?" Although it sounded a bit like a tongue twister, Yun Tianmo understood the main point of Rong Yi's question.
"The existence of the White Beast hasn't been exposed." The dead cannot leak secrets.
Aside from that, Yun Tianmo couldn't understand what Bai Clan meant by their so-called Legitimate Daughter coming to show concern for Ouyang Zixin. Weren't these two families supposed to avoid each other? Why were they suddenly eager to inquire? Was this a test?
Rong Yi raised an eyebrow and immediately understood Yun Tianmo's thoughts. "Besides testing, I can't think of any other reason."
Two exceptionally intelligent individuals defined the actions of the Bai Clan. However, the master and disciple overlooked one crucial detail: Baike's lingering resentment towards Ouyang Zixin, which prompted them to send someone to inquire about her injuries and see if she was—dead or not!
"How is Cloud Nation?" Cloud Nation is the stronghold of Yun Tianmo. Rong Yi did not believe that he had not sent someone back early to relay messages and prepare for entering the ruins. Regardless of how he arranged things, they would not become enemies.
"I want my royal brother to enter with us." Over the years, no matter what methods were tried, the poison in his brother could not be completely removed for some unknown reason. Therefore, Yun Tianmo decided to let him join in exploring the ruins; perhaps there would be some unexpected fortune.
Yun Tianying, Seventh Prince.
Rong Yi was surprised this time; he did not expect Yun Tianmo to make such a decision. He thought he would protect his royal brother well and never let him get involved in danger again.
However, upon reflection, extraordinary situations indeed require extraordinary measures. Rong Yi had also examined the poison in Yun Tianying; it could be treated and alleviated but could not be completely cured. After so many years, there were still no clues as to why.
"What about Dream Nation?"
Poor Dream Nation; once again, it was treated as cannon fodder by Yun Tianmo. The role of a stepping stone seemed tailor-made for it.
"Clear the way."
Dream Nation, you have no choice! (To be continued.)
