Chapter 2359: Chapter 2360: The Sages of Each Family
"Yield?"
"That’s right. In fact, even within the Sky Beyond the Skies, the Daoist Family and the Ru Family are the most adept at adapting to circumstances. To put it bluntly, they are very good at adapting themselves and aligning with the characteristics of your Hua Clan."
"Therefore, they quickly occupied significant positions within your Hua Clan. But I’ve always felt there’s an indescribable relationship between the origin of the ancient Bai Family and your Hua Clan."
"So it’s unclear who influenced whom."
Xue An fell silent.
Because the information he received today was indeed overwhelming, even he needed to carefully digest and organize it.
Yue Shifang did not rush him, simply standing aside and watching with a smile.
After a long while, Xue An finally exhaled deeply.
"I understand!"
"Understand what?"
"You don’t actually know who the hidden mastermind is either, do you?"
Yue Shifang nodded, "That’s right! In fact, from the very beginning, I told you that even I am not clear on the answers to these questions. I can only tell you everything I know!"
Xue An smiled, "So I still thank you because the information you provided is indeed important. At least through this information, I’ve deduced one principle!"
"The hidden mastermind against the Hua Clan must be closely related to the Hua Clan’s sudden downfall back then, meaning..."
Xue An paused and said solemnly, "As long as we find the cause of the Hua Clan’s downfall, we can unravel the entire mystery!"
Yue Shifang clapped his hands and sighed, "Exactly, your thinking is just like mine, but unfortunately, I’ve investigated for thousands of years without finding a single clue, as if an invisible hand has erased all traces!"
This was the second time Yue Shifang had said this, indicating his helplessness regarding this matter.
In contrast, Xue An just smiled, "Some things, as long as they’ve happened, can never erase the traces of their existence, so I will find the answer. I firmly believe this!"
Seeing the determined look in Xue An’s eyes, Yue Shifang suddenly felt a tinge of envy.
Though his injuries had healed, making him appear similar in age to Xue An, he found his mindset inevitably becoming old.
He had even lost his sharpness, far less filled with youthful spirit compared to Xue An.
Could living for over three thousand years really be so different from living for over ten thousand years? Or was he truly getting old? Yue Shifang couldn’t help but wonder.
This melancholic feeling persisted until Xue An left.
When only Yue Shifang was left in the shrine, he raised his head and sighed.
"Do you all think I’m really old?"
With these words, ripples began to appear on the empty wall behind the shrine.
Soon, dazzling lights started to manifest.
A moment later, an old voice laughed, "Why is Little Shifang suddenly so sentimental?"
Little Shifang!
Perhaps only those whose souls inhabited the ancestors’ shrine within the Bing Family had the privilege to call Yue Shifang that.
Meanwhile, another voice chuckled mischievously, "What else could it be? He was probably provoked by that youngster!"
Following the words, several phantom figures appeared amidst the radiance on the wall.
The speaker was an old man with white hair and a robust man with a full beard.
Hearing this, Yue Shifang forced a bitter smile.
"Elders, please don’t tease me. I was just expressing my feelings!"
"Exactly, you bunch of old folks are just not respecting your age. If you ask me, Little Shifang shouldn’t pay you any mind at all!"
A woman’s clear voice accompanied the appearance of a gorgeously dressed lady’s phantom.
"Hehe!" Seeing this woman, the bearded man couldn’t help but laugh and rubbed his hands.
"My dear Xianyi, you’re awake too!"
The woman glared at the bearded man, "Who’s your dear Xianyi?"
"Of course, it’s you!" the bearded man chuckled.
"Zhongli Shan, dare you say that again?" The woman glowered.
"Oh come now, why so serious? I was just expressing my excitement at seeing you!" Zhongli Shan quickly smiled apologetically.
"Bah, like I don’t know what you’re up to, Zhongli Shan? Let me tell you, I, Gu Xianyi, am not a woman who lets you take lightly. If you can’t give me a proper explanation today, I’ll pluck out every single hair from your beard!" Gu Xianyi threatened.
Hearing this, Zhongli Shan shrank back in fear and quickly looked towards the old man for help.
"Old Man Yue, say something, won’t you? Just watching the show from the sidelines, what kind of behavior is that?"
The old man chuckled while stroking his beard, "What is there to say? You caused this mess, so naturally, you should calm it down! What does it have to do with this old man?"
Hearing this, Zhongli Shan became anxious, "Yue Huacang, how can you do this? I always treated you as a senior!"
Gu Xianyi sneered at this, "Zhongli Shan, stop dragging Elder Yue into this. Today you need to give me an answer!"
"An answer, what answer, dear lady, I’m sorry, isn’t that enough?" Zhongli Shan began to beg.
"No way! Just saying ’I’m sorry’ isn’t enough!"
"Then what more do you want?" Zhongli Shan appealed in despair.
Gu Xianyi suddenly widened her eyes in disbelief, "You dare shout at me?"
"I... I didn’t!"
For a moment, the scene became bustling with activity.
Zhongli Shan and Gu Xianyi were quarreling, while Yue Huacang and several elders whispered among themselves on the side.
"Who do you think will win this time?"
"Isn’t it obvious? Definitely Gu Xianyi! How could that fool Zhongli Shan be her match?"
"I think so too. How long do you think Zhongli Shan can hold out this time?"
"At most this long!" the elderly man held up two fingers.
"Twenty minutes?"
"Heh, you’re overestimating Zhongli Shan. At most, two minutes, and he’d have to kneel and beg for mercy. Don’t you believe it?"
"I don’t believe it! It should at least be three minutes!"
"Then let’s make a bet!"
"A bet it is!"
For a moment, these onlookers seriously opened a betting pool.
The bet was on when Zhongli Shan would admit defeat.
And these words drifted into Yue Shifang’s ears, leaving him both amused and helpless.
Exactly!
These people, who bickered incessantly upon meeting and delightedly watched from the sidelines, were indeed the sages from the families of the Bing Family.
For instance, Zhongli Shan hailed from the Zhongli Family, while Gu Xianyi was the founding ancestor of the Gu Clan.
