ICAY Chapter 151

The Hypocritical False Gentleman

Yun Dan kicked away the person charging at her and immediately rushed to Xiao Yueqing’s side to support him.

“How are you? Are you alright?”

Xiao Yi’s sword thrust hadn’t been deep, so Xiao Yueqing had only suffered some superficial injuries and his heart wasn’t damaged.

But he knew Xiao Yi was warning him—warning that if he still refused to side with him, he would strike at him again.

Yun Dan quickly took a few steps forward, shielding Xiao Yueqing behind her as she stared at Xiao Yi and questioned him, “Are you out of your mind? You can even strike at your own biological son. I always said there’s no difference between you and Tang Lan.

She schemes against her son, and you scheme against yours. She harms her son, and you harm yours. You two should be locked together for life—what a perfectly matched couple you make.”

Yun Dan should have known all along that Xiao Yi and Tang Lan truly were a married couple. Even though Tang Lan had harmed Xiao Yi years ago, after all these years, Xiao Yi had become just like Tang Lan used to be.

Perhaps thinking the provocation wasn’t enough, Yun Dan added a few more words that angered Xiao Yi half to death.

“They say sleeping in the same bed doesn’t produce two different kinds of people. I never used to believe it, but seeing you and Tang Lan, I really do now. No matter what Tang Lan did to you back then, you shouldn’t harm your own biological son like this.

Xiao Yueqing has always respected you greatly. He was willing to do whatever you asked. You wanted Tianqing Manor and he gave it to you. Yet you can even scheme against your own son—how are you any better than Tang Lan? The two of you should never separate for the rest of your lives, forever locked together.”

Xiao Yueqing was actually surprised that Yun Dan could say so much. Hearing these words left him stunned.

He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth—there was nothing seriously wrong.

Those two martial arts manuals seemed to have protected his heart meridians, so this sword strike caused him no real harm.

“I’ve said it before—I won’t allow you to harm the people I care about. Now that you’ve harmed so many innocent people, I can’t possibly stand on your side.”

If Xiao Yi only wanted revenge against Tang Lan, Xiao Yueqing naturally wouldn’t have come out to stop him.

Because in his view, Tang Lan had done wrong and naturally had to pay the price.

But Xiao Yi’s ambitions were considerable. After seizing control of Tianqing Manor, he extended his evil claws to other sects, nearly wiping out the entire Tang Sect, and also harmed all the other sects.

Now he even wanted to attack the Heavenly Sword Sect. In both reason and emotion, Xiao Yueqing couldn’t support him.

Xiao Yi was deeply hurt that his own son wouldn’t stand by his side, and he blamed it all on Yun Dan, believing she had corrupted his son.

He pointed his sword at Yun Dan and said, “If it weren’t for you, this vile woman, constantly saying these things in front of my son, he wouldn’t have become like this. So what if I want to slaughter all the sects?

They wronged me, so naturally they must pay the price. They and Mingyue Manor were always my enemies. Whatever I do is justified. Not only did you refuse to give me the treasure maps, you even turned my son against me. I must kill you.”

As the various factions stood in stalemate, other forces actually arrived at the Heavenly Sword Sect at this moment, apparently all coming to support it.

Among the crowd, Yun Dan saw Dongfang Wuchen, and also Tang Huairou and the others.

It seemed these people had come to cause trouble for Xiao Yi.

Xiao Yi seemed to have anticipated long ago that all these sects would gather at the Heavenly Sword Sect.

He hadn’t originally intended to attack the Heavenly Sword Sect at first—he just wanted to create a diversion to lure all the major sects here, in order to catch them all like turtles in a jar. He hadn’t expected these sects to be so simple-minded as to take the bait directly.

Yun Dan quickly helped Xiao Yueqing back to Ye Bei’s side.

She frowned, sensing a bad premonition.

“Master, I think Xiao Yi’s sudden attack on the Heavenly Sword Sect seems like a diversion. He’s even gathered the other sects here. I think he might want to catch them all in one net. The Heavenly Sword Sect isn’t his primary target—these sects are.”

Ye Bei nodded. He had known from the beginning.

This was precisely why Ye Bei had initially wanted Yun Dan and Xiao Yueqing to leave quickly.

When Tang Huairou saw Xiao Yueqing, her teeth itched with hatred.

She believed she had been severely harmed by Xiao Yueqing, so she incited the other sects to condemn him.

“Everyone listen to me—as Xiao Yi’s son, don’t think Xiao Yueqing is anything good. Everyone knows that when Xiao Yueqing was the master of Tianqing Manor, he was an absolute demon lord.

Even though he’s no longer the master of Tianqing Manor, as Xiao Yi’s son he’s definitely no good person. The disasters our other sects have suffered are all connected to Xiao Yueqing. If you ask me, we should just kill both father and son.”

How could Yun Dan not see that Tang Huairou was saying these disgusting things because she wanted to get revenge on Xiao Yueqing?

Tang Aotian was henpecked. Since Tang Huairou had said so, and the Tang Sect had indeed been severely harmed by Xiao Yi, he naturally came out to condemn Xiao Yueqing as well.

“That’s right, this Xiao Yueqing, as Xiao Yi’s biological son—when the beam is crooked, the frame is askew. He nearly wiped out our entire Tang Sect and harmed the other sects like this. We absolutely shouldn’t easily forgive Xiao Yueqing. When the court breaks the law, they still execute nine generations of relatives. Why should Xiao Yueqing be allowed to stay out of it?”

Yun Dan couldn’t help but want to roll her eyes.

Give me a break—what happened to your Tang Sect, you deserved it, okay?

Dongfang Wuchen didn’t agree with these words at all.

“I don’t believe that. The person who did all these things is Xiao Yi. You shouldn’t blame everything on Xiao Yueqing.

He clearly hasn’t done anything, and he’s also a victim. Everyone just saw that Xiao Yi nearly killed Xiao Yueqing. The father and son are already at odds—why would you assume he’s working together with Xiao Yi?”

However, Tang Huairou hated Xiao Yueqing to the extreme—how could she care what this younger brother said?

Especially since Dongfang Jue and Tang Lan had always favored Dongfang Wuchen, causing Tang Huairou to constantly dislike this younger brother.

Now that she had found an opportunity, she naturally wanted to try every means to provoke him.

“Dongfang Wuchen, don’t think I don’t know what your relationship with Xiao Yueqing is. You and he are half-brothers from the same mother. Of course you should make excuses for your own older brother, but I’m different.

There’s no relationship between him and me whatsoever. Plus, our entire Tang Sect and Mingyue Manor were severely harmed by him. Your father also died miserably under Xiao Yi’s sword. Why are you making excuses for your enemy’s son?”
