Chapter 195 Past events
While Yun Yici was pondering, Wen Fuyue said to her disciples, "I have something to say to your junior sister. You should go back and rest first."
Rong Xuan and the other two had no suspicions, assuming that Yun Yici had recently formed his core and that Wen Fuyue had something else to tell him.
The three bowed to Wen Fuyue in succession and took their leave.
After Rong Xuan and the other two left, only Wen Fuyue, Yun Yici, and Shen Huaichuan remained in the spacious courtyard.
Yun Yici asked, puzzled, "What does Master want to see me about?"
And Shen Huaichuan is also staying here?
Wen Fuyue beckoned Yun Yici over, and then they went together to sit in the small pavilion where Shen Huaichuan was sitting.
Wen Fuyue said, "I noticed you seemed a little off just now. Is there something you can't say directly?"
Yun Yici was moved by Wen Fuyue's keen observation, but she didn't know where to begin to express the words she had been holding back.
She only deduced from the minor details in the original plot that the Tiger Clan might be the culprit behind the extermination of the Muyun Clan.
Therefore, she had no way of knowing this until Mu Yunjian told her about it himself.
Yun Yici pondered for a moment and said, "When I arrived, I happened to hear Senior Li Ji asking which demon kings and clan leaders had arrived in Qingqiu among the female demons who came to deliver the jade pendant."
"The Chilong clan and the Huzheng clan have arrived."
"I was just about to talk about this, but I suddenly remembered that my senior brother once mentioned revenge to me."
"Although I don't know who his enemies are, all the prominent demons will be showing up at this Moon Worship Festival, and I'm very worried about Senior Brother Mu."
After listening to what Yun Yici said, Wen Fuyue sighed and said, "You've put your heart into it."
"It's my fault as the master; I forgot such an important matter."
Wen Fuyue thought that this was an opportunity in Muyun, and with Li Ji's guarantee, the safety of her disciples was not a problem, so she thought of bringing a few disciples out to broaden their horizons.
“That Tiger-like Demon Clan is the leader of the clan that wiped out your senior brother.”
"This matter has to start with Feng Nian's divination. After I brought your senior brother back to Wangchen Peak, seven or eight years passed, and it was time for the second disciple that Feng Nian had predicted to appear."
"I followed his directions and went to search, but to my surprise, the place he pointed out to me was actually a relative by marriage of the Xie family."
"I thought they were descendants of the younger generation of the Xie family..."
Yun Yici asked in bewilderment, "Which Xie family?"
Yun Yici was still young, and Wen Fuyue knew that she was unaware of the relationships between aristocratic families.
So he explained in detail: "The Xie brothers, Qianjue and Shiqing, who are with you in the academy, are members of the Xie family."
"After your second senior brother's father returned to the human realm, he took on the position of clan leader and became a Daoist couple with Xie Qianjue and Xie Shiqing's aunt."
“Their youngest son was already five or six years old at the time, and I thought the apprentice Feng Nian was talking about was that child.”
As Yun Yici listened, the system squeaked like a groundhog: "Xie Qianjue's aunt is Mu Yunjian's stepmother!!"
"It connects to the plot of the Xie family being wiped out."
"After Wen Fuyue died, no one could suppress Mu Yunjian, so he returned to his father's clan and not only slaughtered his own father's clan, but also did not spare the Xie family."
"No wonder Xie Qianjue is a savior. His entire family died at the hands of Mu Yunjian, so he was destined to take revenge on Mu Yunjian."
Yun Yici originally wanted to defend Mu Yunjian, saying that he had only just established his foundation and how could he possibly take on an entire powerful clan by himself?
However, the villains in the story who are so ruthless as to collude with the demons in order to achieve their goals will inevitably be punished according to the law of cause and effect. How innocent were those who died unjustly?
Yun Yici silently vowed in her heart that she would never let Muyunjian become like the one in the story again.
Wen Fuyue continued, "I saw that the child was spoiled and arrogant, so I felt that Feng Nian's calculations might have been wrong."
"But when I left, I discovered that one of the courtyards was sealed off with a demon-locking magic array."
"When your senior brother's father saw that I was interested in that courtyard, he warmly invited me to go in and exorcise the demon."
"When I went in, your senior brother had just transformed into his original form and was in a dormant state."
The rabbit, no bigger than a person's palm, could be crushed with a little force; it didn't seem like it would harm anyone.
Feeling a pang of pity, Wen Fuyue packed up the baby rabbit and took it with her, intending to bring it back to the Nanhua Sect and raise it as a spirit pet on Wangchen Peak.
Little did he know that upon returning to the Nanhua Sect, the rabbit transformed into a rebellious and unruly youth.
Not only does he think about betraying the clan every day, but he also spews vulgarities and clamors to kill every last member of the Xie family by marriage.
Wen Fuyue was initially unaware of the situation, but upon hearing the boy's foul language and unchanging nature, she naturally showed no mercy in punishing him.
After the first punishment, while Mu Yunjian was recuperating, Wen Fuyue went to investigate his background.
Mu Yunjian's father was the second son, his grandfather was the former clan chief, and his ancestors were cultivators of the Beast Taming Sect.
However, by the time of Mu Yunjian's father's generation, they had been reduced to a minor clan, only able to sell spirit beasts and survive by supporting the Beast Taming Sect. Even the lowest-ranking manager of the Beast Taming Sect could give them attitude.
Because of the family's decline, Mu Yunjian's father had thought about revitalizing the family when he was young.
Then, during one of his travels, he never returned.
Just when everyone thought he was dead, he returned, remaining tight-lipped about his experiences abroad.
Later, under the arrangement of his family, he became a Daoist couple with a female cultivator from the Xie family.
To say that he was related to the Xie family by marriage was an exaggeration. His father did marry a woman from the Xie family, but she was related to the main branch of the family.
If Xie Qianjue and Xie Shiqing had a biological aunt, they would never have married into such a small clan.
Unexpectedly, more than a decade later, a strangely-looking boy came to their door looking for his relatives.
Not daring to offend the Xie family behind his Daoist partner, Mu Yunjian's father had other ideas and used the Demon-Locking Array passed down from their ancestors to lock the boy inside.
After interrogating Mu Yunjian, Wen Fuyue learned that Mu Yunjian's father actually wanted to use Mu Yunjian's half-demon identity to capture and tame high-level demon beasts to revitalize the family.
That's why he locked up Mu Yunjian to toughen him up.
Unexpectedly, Mu Yunjian was more compliant to gentle persuasion than to force. His hatred for his father's clan made him increasingly terrified, fearing that the entire clan would suffer if this wicked child were born.
Thus, the matter of inviting Wen Fuyue to exorcise the demon came about.
After Wen Fuyue figured out the inside story, she removed Mu Yunjian's father from his position as clan leader and crippled him as a way to seek justice for Mu Yunjian.
Afterwards, Wen Fuyue returned to the sect to apologize to Mu Yunjian and promised to take him as her disciple and teach him magic, on the condition that he would not run away from the mountain again to take revenge on innocent clansmen.
For reasons unknown, Mu Yunjian agreed, and later, in his interactions with Wen Fuyue, he gradually came to regard his master as a father figure.
After the master and disciple had a heart-to-heart talk, Wen Fuyue learned from Mu Yunjian about the tragic massacre of his demon clan.
The one who wiped out the E'er clan was the Hu Zheng clan.
Mu Yunjian agreed to temporarily put aside his hatred and focus on cultivation with Wen Fuyue, also because he was willing to set aside his minor grudges for the greater ones.
