Chapter 654 Who Is Whose Tool? Who Is Taking Part In The Game?
Chapter 654 Who Is Whose Tool? Who Is Taking Part In The Game?
Chen Yu spoke lightly, but the two sisters couldn't help but shiver.
Unable to stop their thoughts, they wondered how Chen Yu could speak so maliciously in such a calm tone.
Clearly just a young person in their twenties, who hadn't changed professions for a few years.
Other people of the same age were still full of enthusiasm in professional colleges, striving to excel.
Of course, they didn't know that during her time as a young Saintess, Chen Yu, as a legitimate Abyss Lord, had under her command not only her own creations but also some crazy demons.
Torturing enemies' souls was just normal for her.
Chen Yu had a heart for the afterlife, and extracting and refining souls was a common and convenient practice for her.
"Has your sister told you?" Chen Yu asked Yun Biyue, "About what that kid Yun Qianhui said."
"My sister was about to, but there's no need to go into detail. I know about Yun Qianhui's matter," Yun Biyue said calmly.
"What do you know?" Chen Yu asked with a smile.
"Do you know what he found out?" Yun Chenyu nodded.
"In fact, not only do I know, but Yun Tianhe also knows."
"What?" Chen Yu raised an eyebrow.
Yun Chenyu also looked surprised, "Are we talking about the same thing?"
"Are you referring to Yun Qianhui pretending to be foolish and staying on Yun Tianhe's side, secretly investigating Yun Tianhe's past collusion with outsiders to harm our father and uncles?" Yun Biyue said.
For a moment, Chen Yu and Yun Chenyu looked at each other.
"Yes, I know, and Yun Tianhe knows too," Yun Biyue continued.
"Haha, who is Yun Tianhe?"
"If it weren't for Yun Tianhe's indulgence, could he have easily obtained Yun Tianhe's confidential information?"
"His every move is under Yun Tianhe's surveillance."
"Uh, this..." Chen Yu was momentarily speechless. "Are you saying Yun Tianhe let him find out on purpose? Why?"
"Because Yun Tianhe wants to use his identity as a banner to attract people from our side to join him, that's all."
"So far, it seems to be working well," Yun Biyue said with a self-deprecating smile.
Indeed, by "working well," she meant that those who were originally on her side had defected to Yun Tianhe.
"Is it worth it?" Chen Yu frowned. "Those defectors are just some fair-weather friends. Is it worth exposing our secrets for them?"
"Secrets?" Yun Biyue shook her head. "Are they important? Not really!"
"In his eyes, what matters is the benefit."
"The benefits brought by those fair-weather friends."
"These secrets are of course..." Chen Yu instinctively wanted to say they were important.
But upon reflection, it seemed...
Not important!
After the father of the Yun sisters died, Yun Tianhe turned around and began to usurp the power of the Treasure Gathering Pavilion.
Because he had already won.
With Yun Tianhe's death, there was no one in the Yun Group who could compete with him.
After stabilizing the Yun Group, who would care about the deaths of the Low-Grade members of the Yun family?
Apart from the immediate family members of the deceased, who else would be concerned?
Yun Tianhe's suppression of the Yun family's factions had already sown deep enmity between the two sides.
Even if the truth were to be revealed, it would only lead to more animosity.
Apart from that, there would be no further losses.
In terms of results, it was the same.
After learning about Yun Biyue's ordeal, Chen Yu had already decided to kill Yun Tianhe.
Now that she knew Yun Tianhe had killed the father and uncle of the Yun sisters, it was no different from killing Yun Tianhe.
"That... seems to make sense, doesn't it?" Yun Chenyu turned to Chen Yu in confusion.
"...Indeed, it does," Chen Yu nodded.
"Yun Tianhe's actions against the Yun family factions are undeniable."
"Think about it, even if your father wasn't killed by Yun Tianhe, would your attitude towards him be different?"
"It seems... you're right," Yun Chenyu realized.
"Wasn't Yun Qianhui just played by the other side? Becoming a pawn for nothing?" Chen Yu raised an eyebrow.
"And here I thought that kid was smart!?"
"No, he is indeed a smart person," Yun Chenyu shook her head. "That child has been deep-thinking since he was young."
"You think he was played by Yun Tianhe, lured with some useless secret, and became a tool for Yun Tianhe to erode our side."
"In fact, he is well aware that Yun Tianhe knows what he's up to and that his every move is under Yun Tianhe's watchful eye."
"However, he still chose to do so."
"Why?" Chen Yu asked in confusion.
"First, the truth," Yun Biyue said. "The truth may not matter to others, but it matters a lot to us!"
"My father, his father and grandfather, my uncles, they cannot die without a clear reason!"
"Even in death, they shouldn't leave behind a foolish reputation!"
"Indeed," Chen Yu nodded.
As children, how could they remain indifferent to the passing of their parents?
"Second, power," Yun Biyue continued,
"Yun Tianhe sees him as a banner, giving those fair-weather friends an excuse to switch sides."
"But in reality, even without this banner, those fair-weather friends would still defect under heavy pressure."
"If they openly betray us, then those people would completely break ties with us, with no chance of returning to our side."
"But his presence gives these people a reason and acts as a buffer, preventing the fair-weather friends from completely severing ties with us."
"Once we gain power, these people will immediately return to our side."
"...In reality, defectors are not necessarily despicable, as they also have their own difficulties."
"Few people would steadfastly stand on a sinking ship, facing certain doom with the ship."
"The so-called loyalty has always been relative."
"I will have a showdown with Yun Tianhe. It's either he dies, or I perish."
"Yun Qianhui, by Yun Tianhe's side, has kept a hidden force for me."
"At a critical moment, it can play a decisive role."
"Third, intelligence," Yun Biyue raised three fingers.
"Yun Qianhui is quite capable."
"In the Yun Group, Yun Tianhe's major moves cannot escape his notice."
"Over there, at least I won't be clueless about Yun Tianhe's actions."
"I see," Chen Yu nodded.
"This kid does have some potential."
Being able to use intelligence to maneuver against overwhelming strength and still not be at a disadvantage is rare.
The strongest naturally used to be the former young Saintess.
Her designs were like a masterpiece of divine craftsmanship, seamless and natural.
She always left behind a backdoor, excelled at creating a storm from a calm sea, and set up earth-shattering traps in a subtle manner.
Once she made a move, her offensive was like a collapsing sky, with endless layers of killer moves.
As an opponent, you simply wouldn't know where she had laid her traps, nor when you would inexplicably face death.
And Yun Qianhui, although young and appearing too deliberate and lacking in depth due to his low level, had undoubtedly done his best in terms of process and results.
Suddenly, a thought flashed through Chen Yu's mind.
"Perhaps, the trial stone tablets made by the heavens are meant for people like him."
"In the future, perhaps he will achieve something."
