Chapter 367 The Young Singer's Journey 36
"After all, what you think about during the day, you dream about at night. If you truly miss her deeply, how could you never meet her again in your dreams? Why would you seek out some illusory Meng Po soup instead?"
Baili Dongjun's face instantly turned ashen, his eyes blazing with rage. His fists clenched so tightly that you could almost hear his knuckles cracking. He glared at Xiao Yu, forcing out a few words through gritted teeth: "What exactly do you want to say?"
"Since you're so eager to know, I'll mercifully tell you."
Xiao Yu slowly wiped the smile from his face, his eyes deep and unfathomable, and said to Baili Dongjun in a low voice:
"As a remnant of the Northern Kingdom, Yueyao has been stirring up trouble within the territory of the Northern Li Kingdom in order to restore the kingdom. Tell me, is her affection for you genuine, or is she after something else, such as your innate martial arts lineage?"
Xiao Yu's first words made Baili Dongjun's expression even more unpleasant, but he did not stop there, and continued:
"If I remember correctly, when you first met, you were only thirteen years old. How could you be so confident that you could make a princess of a fallen kingdom, who was determined to restore her country, fall in love with you at first sight?"
"Later, Yueyao took the academy's grand exam under the alias Yin Luoxia. What was her true intention at the time? Was your reunion an arrangement of fate, or a carefully planned scheme by her?"
"If she truly loved you, how could she disregard your feelings and allow Tianwaitian to attack Ye Dingzhi? And then deliberately lead you to Tianwaitian?"
"She claims she will persuade Yuefeng City to give up on restoring the kingdom and lead its people to a peaceful life, but can she really do it?"
"She probably doesn't even believe herself, yet she still told you that. What are her true intentions?"
"Enough! Stop talking! I don't want to hear any more of this!" Baili Dongjun roared hoarsely, his eyes bloodshot.
The most effective way to deal with someone obsessed with love, and the most devastating blow, is to destroy their belief in love.
Over the years, the search for the Meng Po soup and the reunion with Yue Yao in his dreams have become Baili Dongjun's only motivation to live.
But Xiao Yu's words have directly destroyed Yueyao's beautiful image in Baili Dongjun's heart, denied their feelings for each other, and turned his years of pain and effort into nothing.
For him, this was worse than death.
However, Xiao Yu ignored him and continued to relentlessly expose: "Furthermore, when Ye Dingzhi led the Demonic Sect on its eastern expedition, many of them were remnants of the Northern Que from the Outer Heavens. If Yueyao really loved peace as she claimed, why didn't she stand up and stop all of this?"
“She is the princess of Beique. As long as she raises her arm and calls, those Beique people will definitely respond immediately.”
"But she didn't! She just silently observed everything that happened. What was she thinking at that time?"
"After the failure of the Eastern Expedition, Ye Dingzhi died, and the Demonic Sect suffered heavy losses. When you search everywhere for Yue Qing, who drove Ye Dingzhi to the brink of despair, as long as she pleads with you, you will definitely let Yue Qing go."
"But she didn't. Instead, she impersonated Yue Qing and made you kill her with your own hands. What was she thinking at that time?"
Baili Dongjun had completely lost control of his emotions. His eyes were wide with rage, filled with intense killing intent: "I've said enough! You're not allowed to say another word! You're not allowed to!"
As he spoke, he lunged at Xiao Yu, but Xiao Yu easily dodged him. Seeing Baili Dongjun's devastated state, Xiao Yu continued his demonic whisper:
"Baili Dongjun, face reality! Yueyao has never liked you. The most important people in her heart are always Beique and her sister."
"She deliberately tricked you into killing her only because you have a high level of cultivation. She didn't want you to continue to attack Yueqing and Tianwaitian, so she resorted to this desperate measure, using your guilt to save the lives of those Northern Que survivors."
"You actually naively believe that she truly loves you? How utterly ridiculous!"
"Yueyao approached you only because you have a natural martial arts lineage. In other words, your love was a meticulously planned deception from the very beginning. Tell me yourself, can love built on deception still be considered love?"
Baili Dongjun swayed slightly, as if Xiao Yu's words had struck a nerve, and he was momentarily stunned.
The anger in his eyes gradually turned into astonishment, and finally into deep confusion.
Xiao Yu's words were like a sharp dagger, precisely piercing the deepest, most hidden part of his heart, ruthlessly revealing the truth he had been avoiding and unwilling to face, and laying it bare before him in a bloody manner.
Did Yueyao ever truly love him?
In his memory, Yueyao's love for him was so genuine.
For him, Yueyao did not hesitate to turn against Wuxiang Shi. If it weren't for Baifa Xian's timely rescue, they probably wouldn't have had those happy times later on.
But... were those memories really real?
As Xiao Yu said, if Yueyao really loved him, then why were her actions so contradictory?
If Yueyao is truly as beautiful and flawless as he remembers her, then who caused Yun Ge's tragedy? And who should bear the consequences?
Why did Yueyao choose to remain silent when the Demonic Sect launched its eastern expedition?
The most crucial question is, why would Yueyao be so cruel as to let him end her life with his own hands?
Didn't she know how painful the rest of her life would be if she killed the person she loved with her own hands?
Could it really be as Xiao Yu said, that Yueyao didn't love him at all and was just using him from beginning to end?
Even in death, he wanted to stir up his guilt so that he could protect Yueqing and the remaining people of Beique.
Baili Dongjun shook his head desperately, trying to deny it all; he refused to believe this cruel reality.
But the reality is so cruelly presented before us.
After Ye Dingzhi committed suicide, he searched everywhere for Yue Qing and those who had plotted against Ye Dingzhi, wanting to avenge him.
During that period, he was obsessed with revenge until he killed Yueyao with his own hands. He was devastated by the loss of his lover and went into seclusion in Snow Moon City, indulging in a life of debauchery and rarely even returning to his parents' residence.
So... everything Xiao Yu said is true?
"No...it's impossible!" Baili Dongjun managed to squeeze out these words, his voice hoarse and trembling, as if each word had taken immense effort: "Yueyao...she couldn't have done this to me! Our relationship was not a deception! We truly love each other, yes! Our love is real!!!"
He repeated himself, his voice tinged with a desperate insistence: "We, we truly love each other!"
Baili Dongjun suddenly roared and turned to run wildly toward Yueyao's grave.
He wanted to see Yueyao with his own eyes and confirm the love that would never fade in his heart.
Yueyao, she must love him; that love is definitely not fake.
