Chapter 50 Ambitious

“Ha ha ha ha, you guys finding out now could be considered to be late!”

An arrogant, somewhat aged, and proud laugh sounded out, breaking the silence. In complete disbelief, Zhuang Sheng looked over at Elder Fu who was faced upward and laughing out loud. Astonished, he said, “Eld.. Elder?”

“It’s you, Blue Snow Stronghold’s spy is you!” Mu Yalun stood up and remorsefully said, his eyes were filled with endless sorrow. He could’ve never guessed one of his most intimate people would betray himself and his home.

“Heng, so what if it’s me?” Elder Fu let out an arrogant laugh. Then, he suddenly grabbed Gu Weiyi in speed of lightning and thunder and retreated ten feet away. Both Xue Yunge and Xue Zhuyue inwardly said ‘not good’. Xue Zhuyue took out his soft sword as it grew in his hand and threw it toward Elder Fu. For a moment, Mu Yalun was also startled, but he quickly regained his senses and took out his “Broken Cherry”, throwing it at Elder Fu as well. But, Elder Fu had already long since run away. And behind Elder Fu, a group of black clothed people suddenly appeared! Their way of disguising themselves caused the Xue brothers’ eyes to flash with a bloody light. It was them, the people who took Yi Yi away that night!

“Why?” Mu Yalun sorrowfully asked.

“Naturally it’s for the position of Master of this Stronghold. He he, Young Master, laofu (I) believe that my martial arts and capabilities aren’t lower than yours, so you can rest assured. I’ll bring Blue Snow Stronghold to the top! When that time comes, Blue Snow Stronghold will lead the entire martial arts world and become immortalized!”

Mu Yalun didn’t respond to him and stayed silent. Then, he unexpectedly thought back to the conversation he had with Wushuang. In this world, people’s desire was endless, the peace he wanted was merely a delusion. It was beautiful, but easy to destroy. In the end, everything was just apart of his extravagant dreams ah.

“You.. You traitor! Blue Snow Stronghold doesn’t need prestige, it’s already respected in the martial arts world! All you want is just the position of Master of the Blue Snow Stronghold, it’s all just to satisfy your own ambitions!” Zhuang Sheng furiously opened his mouth, his eyes were full of hatred.

At this moment, Xue Yunge and Xue Zhuyue were unable to see these abrupt changes as a farce. The person that had been seized by their opponent was Weiyi, the one person who held the most important role in both of their lives. They care about the changes in Blue Snow Stronghold nor did they care for who was the most honored in the martial arts world. As long as the person in their heart was able to return to their sides, everything else in the world was superfluous!

Narrowing his charming eyes, Xue Yunge coldly addressed Elder Fu, “Who is the person behind you? As long as you hand over the woman in your harms, my Xiu Luo villa can help you earn the position of Master of this stronghold!”

“Heng,” The light in Elder Fu’s eyes flashed, “His Majesty’s words weren’t wrong, this woman is very important toward you two! Although your conditions are very attractive, I don’t need your assistance to earn everything. Besides, His Majesty also wants Xiu Luo villa. If I capture you, I can make another contribution to His Majesty!”

His Majesty, the Seventh Prince! Xue Yunge and Xue Zhuyue’s faces turned unsightly. They hadn’t imagined that all that had happened was all the Seventh Prince’s doings! It seems like them originally allowing Yi Yi to exit the manor was a mistake. It brought about an annoyance that shouldn’t be provoked and she became someone else’s tool. Right now they had to go under someone else’s control all because the person in their opponent’s hand was their true love whom they’d rather die than harm. They couldn’t release their pride and insolence, all they could do was endure and adapt.

“Then, what do you guys want to do?” Xue Zhuyue coldly began speaking, “No matter what the conditions are, we agree!”

“He he, Master Xue truly agrees ah. Then in that case, what if I say I want your Xiu Luo villa?”

An aggressive and arrogant voice sounded from behind them. This voice was impossible for both Xue Zhuyue and Xue Yunge to forget in their entire lifetimes. They turned around and were greeted with a yellow clothed, calm, and tyrannical male. He possessed handsome and profound features and keen, hawk-like eyes. A ridiculing smile hung on his face, causing Xue Yunge and Xue Zhuyue to want to step forward and tear him to shreds!

Lan Sheng Ling brought a crowd of black clothed people and a short male who wore a black armband and had a covered face who stood behind him. However, at this moment, the man had an unusual reaction as he was walking in. His whole body was shaking, it looked like he was trying with all his might to restrain himself. Five men, who all wore the same set of clothes, currently surrounded Lan Sheng Ling. Each of them stood respectfully in their spot, perfectly surrounding Lan Sheng Ling in the middle of their circle. However, judging from these people’s careless breathing and stiff faces, there seemed to be some irregularities surrounding them as well. Even further back, there seemed to be a big group of people who all wore the same clothes. Those people belonged to the imperial household’s Yu Lin army! Looking at the scene, Xue yunge inwardly muttered to himself. It seems like Lan Sheng Ling really put his mind on eliminating blue Snow Stronghold! From this beginning, his plot and plans were to be pulled on Xiu Luo villa, his every move was flawless. This type of man had enough ruthlessness, he had the ability to be the person above all people! Faced by such intricate scheming and superior methods, Even he, Xue Yunge, felt ashamed!

But, why would he want to involve Xiu Luo villa? One was upright and the most honored and the other was the head of the underworld. They were the two biggest powers in the martial arts world. Because in the end, when both sides have suffered, he, the Seventh Prince, would be able to reap all the benefits. He would hold all the power in the martial arts world in his hand. Adding onto this was his power in the imperial court. Therefore, even in sudden changes, he would definitely come out the victor! Donning the yellow gown [1] was just around the corner for him! Their (Yunge and Zhuyue) so called care clouded their mind. They both cared about Yi Yi too much, their display was too obvious. Consequently, exploiting Yi yi caused themselves and Blue Snow Stronghold to clash. The black clothed people who ran away on that day were the Seventh Prince’s people. How funny, he was able to divert and blur their line of sight so easily. Xue Yunge inwardly blamed himself for being so careless and unwillingly stared at Lan Sheng Ling.

“Seventh Prince’s plans, strategies, and schemes are profound, Xue admires them. As long as you hand over my mei, Xiu Luo villa is yours!”

“O?” Lan Sheng Ling lowly laughed and satisfaction appeared on his thick face. He looked at Xue Yunge and slowly opened his mouth, but his words were actually for Elder Fu’s ears, “Fu, bring Xue Wushuang over here for me!”

Carrying Gu Weiyi on his shoulder, Elder Fu directly flew over to Lan Sheng Ling. Xue Yunge, Xue Zhuyue, and Mu Yalun’s eyes all closely watched that unconscious figure, their eyes were packed full of impatience and worry. Lan Sheng Ling carried Gu Weiyi in his bosom and looked at their three expressions, letting out a pondering smile.

“It seems like this Majesty has found the right bargaining chip! This little girl’s charm is sure large, even the Master of Blue Snow Stronghold has become infatuated with her.”

“Why do you have to act like this Your Majesty?” Looking somewhat awkward, Mu Yalun seemed like he didn’t like others being able to see through his thoughts. His jade cheeks also held a light blush, he looked like a bashful young lady.

“Why? Hasn’t Fu already clearly stated why? This Majesty wants your Blue Snow Stronghold’s immense power, naturally I must have some methods. But, you should feel honored. This Majesty has wasted five years to plan and prepare for this exact day. To be able to cause me to be so careful, you wouldn’t feel regretful even after dying!” Absentmindedly opening his mouth, Lan Sheng Ling’s slender fingers lingered on Gu Weiyi’s soft and smooth face. It looked like he was granting Mu Yalun a great favor.

Mu Yalun’s jade-like complexion instantly paled and he became distressed. “Then are the assassins, that followed me since the night of the lantern festival, people that you sent to do so?”

“Naturally. The black clothed people sent to assassinate you would cause Xiu Luo villa to misunderstand the situation and for you guys to believe that it was Xiu Luo villa’s doing. It’s a perfect plan, is it not?” He let out a light and cheerful laugh. He glanced down at the still unconscious woman in his bosom and slyly began to speak.

“Originally, Xue Wushuang running away wasn’t apart of any of my expectations. I had thought that I wouldn’t be able to go through with my plan, I even arranged for a substitute. But, when I learned that Xue Wushuang actually entered Blue Snow Stronghold, all my worries became unnecessary. Even the substitute dying doesn’t affect anything.”

Lofty and disdainful eyes looked down at them and Lan Sheng Ling meaningfully remarked, “Fu used all of his capabilities in order to draw misunderstandings between you guys. He he, and Zhuang Sheng, your contribution wasn’t small either ah!”

Zhuang Sheng’s complexion instantly changed and he looked at Mu Yalun. He frantically shook his head and tried to explain himself, “Young Master, this subordinate didn’t do it on purpose! This subordinate doubted Xue guniang, but isn’t the stronghold’s traitor!” Ruefully turning around, Zhuang Sheng shouted, “Elder Fu! As it turns out, you used me!”
