Chapter 441 The Young Swordsman's Tale: Underworld Chapter 9
Xiao Yu's sudden display of power rekindled the interest of the people in the underworld in the human world, and they began to pay attention to what was happening there again.
However, the focus was entirely on Xiao Yu.
And so, they were enlightened.
In just two months, Xiao Yu successfully reversed Wuxin's mental state by using various clever words and well-timed emotional maneuvering.
He transformed Wuxin's initial rejection of him into a deep dependence on him, a skill so remarkable that it left everyone in awe.
Of course, they could also see that Xiao Yu had invested genuine emotions in this process.
Otherwise, how could someone with unintentional intelligence not sense it?
It was precisely because of this sincere emotion that Wuxin was able to fall for him so quickly without even realizing it.
As Xiao Ruofeng watched the two brothers on the big screen, their bond growing stronger day by day, his eyes involuntarily welled up with tears.
There was a time when he and his brother were just as close.
But later...
Ugh!
Hopefully, Xiao Yu and Wuxin can avoid repeating the mistakes he and his brother made.
This sudden realization weighed heavily on Xiao Ruofeng's mind, leaving him unable to calm down for a while.
Seeing Xiao Ruofeng's appearance, everyone quietly moved their chairs to the side to keep a certain distance from him.
I'm afraid I'm afraid!
They were genuinely afraid of being infected by Xiao Ruofeng's brother-obsessed mindset.
Xiao Ruofeng noticed the unusual behavior of everyone and felt somewhat confused, but before he could ask, he saw that Xiao Yu and Wuxin had already arrived in Snow Moon City.
The thought of seeing Baili Dongjun, Sikong Changfeng, Li Hanyi, and other old friends filled Xiao Ruofeng with a small surge of joy, and he put aside the confusion in his heart.
The others in the hall ignored Xiao Ruofeng and began to discuss the matter.
"What do you think is Xiao Yu's purpose in coming to Snow Moon City? Is it to win over Snow Moon City and gain more support for himself?"
"That is indeed possible. Snow Moon City is now the leader of the martial arts world. If Xiao Yu can gain its support, he will have a great advantage in the upcoming struggle for the throne."
"Hmm, it doesn't look like it to me. Don't forget, Baili Dongjun is Xiao Ruofeng's junior brother, Sikong Changfeng is one of the four guardians of Tianqi under Xiao Ruofeng, the Vermilion Bird Envoy, and Li Hanyi is the daughter of Lei Mengsha and Li Xinyue."
These individuals all had intricate connections to Xiao Ruofeng. Now that Xiao Ruofeng is dead, their only support would likely be for Xiao Chuhe, whom Xiao Ruofeng had personally mentored and raised, not Xiao Yu!
"What exactly is Xiao Yu's intention in coming to Snow Moon City? Is it really just to nullify the Locking Mountains and Rivers Agreement and allow Wuxin to stay in Beili?"
"...I feel that things are not so simple. Judging from Xiao Yu's words and actions over the past two months, he is a very shrewd person and would never do anything in vain. Therefore, there must be some kind of plan behind his actions."
Listening to the discussion, Xiao Ruofeng saw that they all believed that Xiao Yu came to Snow Moon City with some unspeakable secret.
He couldn't help but frown and said, "Could it be that you're overthinking it? Perhaps Xiao Yu came to Snow Moon City simply to help Wuxin abolish the Locking Mountains and Rivers Pact?"
Upon hearing this, everyone was stunned for a moment, and they all cast strange glances at him.
what!
The group moved their chairs away with a look of disgust, afraid of being infected by this "naive" person.
Seeing everyone's reaction, Xiao Ruofeng could only sigh silently in his heart, slowly lowering his eyes to hide the turmoil in his heart.
It wasn't that he was stupid or couldn't see the essence of the matter.
Instead, when he saw Xiao Yu and Wu Xin, he couldn't help but feel a sense of resonance and projected his brotherhood with Xiao Ruojin onto them.
Therefore, he found it hard to accept that Xiao Yu's approach to Wuxin was out of some kind of calculation.
Once such a thought arises, it involuntarily leads him to think that perhaps his brother's care and protection of him was just another form of exploitation.
This is the cruel truth that he least wants to face and dares not delve into deep into his heart.
He preferred to believe that his brother killed him out of desperation, forced by the political situation at court.
He also refused to believe that his brother had developed an irreconcilable rift with him, lost trust in him, and thus conceived the cruel idea of eliminating him.
When he was critically ill, it was his elder brother who set aside his princely dignity and knelt before the imperial physician, which allowed the physician to save his life.
In the treacherous and perilous imperial palace, it was his elder brother who did everything in his power to protect him, allowing him to grow up safely.
If it weren't for his elder brother's careful protection, how could he have become the powerful Prince of Langya in the future?
His elder brother treated him so well and showed him such deep affection; how could he believe that it was all just manipulation and scheming?
For him, this idea was even harder to accept than taking his life.
Xiao Ruofeng forced himself to stop thinking about it and instead tried to focus his attention on the large screen in front of him.
Xiao Ruofeng was shocked to see Xiao Yu defeat Li Hanyi with just a single sword intent on the big screen.
Even with the groundwork laid by the White-Haired Immortal and the Purple-Clad Marquis, which gave him a certain understanding of Xiao Yu's strength, he was still somewhat aware of his abilities.
But the strength that Xiao Yu has shown now far exceeds his expectations.
As one of the five great sword immortals of the world, Li Hanyi's strength was naturally not to be underestimated. However, Xiao Yu was able to knock her down without any effort, which clearly showed that his cultivation was far superior to Li Hanyi's.
Xiao Ruofeng couldn't help but smile wryly, lamenting his own shortcomings in judging people.
He had thought Xiao Chong was gentle and kind, but he never expected that the other party was ruthless and heartless, and would stop at nothing to gain power.
Xiao Yu, he once thought, was of mediocre talent, far inferior to Chu He who was exceptionally intelligent from a young age.
But now, Xiao Yu is only nineteen years old, yet he can easily defeat Li Hanyi, one of the five great sword immortals.
Even he was shocked by this talent and strength.
Thinking this, he heard Xiao Yi slap his thigh and suddenly stand up, his eyes gleaming with barely suppressed excitement: "Xiao Yu now definitely has the strength of the Divine Travel Realm, and may even be stronger!"
Upon hearing this, the crowd erupted in uproar, their faces filled with disbelief.
"You...you must be mistaken? Xiao Yu...he shouldn't have reached the Divine Travel Realm yet, right?" Although Emperor Xiaokang was reluctant to question his elder's judgment, the news was so shocking that he couldn't help but ask the question.
Xiao Yi stared at Xiao Yu on the big screen with shining eyes, then glanced at the crowd with disdain: "None of you have ever entered the Divine Realm, so naturally you can't see the intricacies of it."
