Chapter 329: I Have No Regrets
The supreme beings sighed inwardly, speechless.
It turned out that Chu Yang did not know what actions were taking place! He only knew about a conspiracy against Fairy Wu and had no idea about the huge hidden line involving a Holy Clan Elder.
This guy was merely a pawn being used by others, just a slightly smarter pawn.
Night Slaying Wind was asking Chu Yang about when the Lan Family would act to seize the Holy Clan Elder, but Chu Yang was in a tense situation and naturally thought that Night Slaying Wind was asking about when to frame the Ye Family...
"So, at that time, I told Brother Ye: Be careful, on the night of the ninth day of the twelfth month, the Lan Family will definitely act!" Chu Yang said: "We are all smart people, let's leave it at that." Night Slaying Wind understood immediately, laughed heartily, and drank with me until satisfied before leaving.
Night Slaying Wind was indeed a fool!
The Night Emperor's face darkened. He had given away a large piece of spirit jade, only to receive a piece of utterly useless information.
"This matter has been like this from beginning to end. This is the source of the Ye Family's intelligence," Chu Yang continued confidently, "Your Excellency Night Emperor, if you do not believe me, you can call Night Slaying Wind over, and I will confront him on the spot!"
The Night Emperor's face darkened even further.
Night Slaying Wind was already dead! How could I call him? Why don’t you try calling him?
The expressions of the other supreme beings were equally interesting.
This guy really had a flair for making the Night Emperor seek out a dead man for questioning...
Did Chu Yang not know that Night Slaying Wind was already dead? In fact, he was right there when Night Slaying Wind died, and his death was also facilitated by him!
But he had to pretend he didn’t know and do so seamlessly! He had to act with righteous indignation!
"I believe it!" the Night Emperor pinched his nose and said with suppressed anger.
For over nine thousand years, when had he ever felt so suffocated? And in front of a nineteen-year-old kid? At that moment, the Night Emperor felt his self-restraint was truly remarkable.
"Since that’s the case, your reporting of the Ye Family's news is somewhat understandable, but we of the Xiao Family did not participate and have taken no action. Why did you also inform us? It has caused us to lose four or five elite fighters last night," Xiao Se questioned sharply.
Chu Yang retorted, "If your Xiao Family did not intend to act, why were there so many dead here?"
Xiao Se was left speechless.
The Night Emperor laughed maliciously, saying sarcastically, "Indeed, your Xiao Family did not participate in planning or action, so why did so many die in the place where our Ye Family resides?"
"Isn't it because of this brat's information?" Xiao Se shouted in anger.
"But if you did not intend to act, why send someone to buy information from him? If you weren't planning to act, you wouldn’t move even if the news was delivered to your door!" the Night Emperor mocked.
"That’s right. At the time, the Xiao Family came to look for me," Chu Yang innocently explained, "Since the Xiao Family did not receive information, then they must not be in cahoots with the Lan Family; thus, they must have the support of the Ye Family! Since I was determined to break free from Lan Changge’s control, having more support from the Ye Family was naturally better. Therefore, when Young Master Xiao came to find me, I wasted no words and gave him the intel."
Chu Yang said with a righteous tone, "Moreover, although I received benefits, if I did not accept them, Young Master Xiao might think my information was unreliable."
The supreme beings nodded secretly.
That's how people are.
When someone offers something for free, especially someone not very familiar, you tend to think there might be a problem or that it might be a trap; only what is bought with hard cash is cherished more and believed more firmly!
"As for the Ye Family, it was Young Master Ye Mengse who came to find me. Moreover, Young Master Ye and I are old acquaintances from the Central Plains, and we have quite similar personalities..." Chu Yang continued without waiting for Ye Qingchou to ask, "Young Master Ye is generous and straightforward; he walks through a sea of flowers without touching a single petal. I truly admire Young Master Ye, so when he came to find me, how could I not give him this face?"
