Chapter 275 Young Man on a White Horse Drunk in the Spring Breeze 50
"Do you know how many Bei Que people they slaughtered when they allied with Xi Chu to attack Bei Li? How many innocent people were displaced? And how long did it take to rebuild their homes?"
"Now, Bei Que is still unwilling to give up and intends to restore the country. They have already colluded with the Northern Barbarians. They are just waiting for Yue Feng City to break through to the ninth level of the Void Thought Technique and have the strength to contend with Mr. Li. Then they will immediately send their troops south to reignite the war and attack Bei Li again."
"At that time, how many innocent lives will Beili have to sacrifice? What kind of catastrophe will the world be plunged into?"
"You can pity those enemies, so why can't you show some compassion for the people of Beili?"
"Your food, clothing, shelter, and transportation all come from the people of Qiandong City. Instead of protecting them, you stand on the opposite side and sympathize with those remnants of the Northern Kingdom?"
How could there be such an ungrateful, shameless person as you in this world?
When Xiao Ruojin cursed, every word was precious and eloquent, without a single wasted word. Each sentence was like a sharp sword, precisely piercing the depths of Baili Dongjun's heart.
Baili Dongjun's face was contorted with rage, and a purplish-red hue appeared beneath his fair skin: "I agreed to help Yuefeng City emerge from seclusion so that he would give up on restoring his kingdom and lead his remaining people to live in peace. How could I just stand by and watch him invade Beili?"
"As for your Northern Li royal family, back then, your father, Emperor Tai'an, was afraid that his generals were too powerful and threatened the emperor. He first unjustly killed General Ye Yu, and now he has turned his attention to my Zhenxi Marquis's mansion. Now it's your turn to casually pin the accusation of treason on the Zhenxi Marquis's mansion. It's simply despicable and shameless."
Baili Dongjun was emotional and spoke vehemently, and was on the verge of losing control.
Upon seeing this, Baili Luochen's expression changed drastically, and he immediately rebuked in a deep voice, "Dongjun, shut up!"
In this world, some things can be said, while others cannot even be mentioned.
Although Baili Luochen seemed angry before, he was very careful with his words. Unlike Baili Dongjun, who disregarded everything and blurted out things he shouldn't have said.
These few words alone are already a great disrespect, and it is not impossible that they would confiscate the property and exterminate the entire family.
Baili Luochen wanted to tell his grandson to shut up, but Baili Dongjun was so angry that he was almost insane and couldn't listen to anything else.
Not only that, he even drew his sword, Unstained Dust, pointing the tip at Xiao Ruojin. His crazed appearance made Xiao Ruojin want to laugh.
Xiao Ruofeng, with a cold look in his eyes, quickly stepped forward, used the Heaven-Slaying Sword to deflect Bu Ranchen, and then stood in front of Xiao Ruojin.
Even though with Xiao Ruojin's current cultivation level, Baili Dongjun couldn't even touch the hem of his clothes, and there were very few people or things in this world that could hurt him, Xiao Ruofeng still subconsciously stood in front of him.
At first, Xiao Ruofeng was worried that his brother's words were too harsh and that Baili Dongjun might not be able to handle them. Unexpectedly, Baili Dongjun's outburst did not hit Xiao Ruojin's sore spot, but instead made Xiao Ruofeng furious, completely igniting his anger.
"Baili Dongjun, wake up! If you dare to speak disrespectfully to my brother again, don't blame me for being impolite."
Enraged, Baili Dongjun felt as if he had suffered a thousand wounds when he saw his junior brother, who had always been quite kind to him, treating him like this: "Junior brother, you..."
"Alright, Dongjun, stop fooling around." Baili Luochen stepped forward and grabbed his grandson. His stern gaze, unlike anything he had ever shown before, made Baili Dongjun hesitate to move for a moment.
Xiao Ruojin patted Xiao Ruofeng's shoulder, signaling him to step aside. Then, with a half-smile on her face, she looked at the grandfather and grandson opposite her and slowly said, "Baili Dongjun, you have been pointing your finger at me and cursing me for so long. I will return three sentences to you."
"Your Highness..." Baili Luochen's brows twitched suddenly, and he hurriedly tried to stop him, but it was obviously too late.
Xiao Ruojin stood there, raising her voice: "Baili Dongjun, listen carefully. My first words are: the reason Tianwaitian approached you is because you have a natural martial vein. In other words, your so-called 'love' with this Beique princess was a deception from the start. So the question is, is love that begins with deception still love? Or rather... can you tell whether she is deceiving you or truly loves you?"
Baili Dongjun's body jolted violently, and he froze on the spot, unable to move.
His gaze shifted from anger to astonishment, and then to deep confusion.
Xiao Ruojin's words were like a sharp, icy blade, precisely dissecting the hidden depths of his heart and pointing directly to the truth he had never dared to face or admit.
Recalling his first encounter with Yueyao, he was only thirteen years old at the time. Even if he was narcissistic, he wouldn't naively believe that he could bewitch everyone back then and make Yueyao fall in love at first sight.
Later, during the school's major exam, Yueyao used the alias Yin Luoxia, also with the aim of getting close to him. It can be said that their reunion was a deception planned unilaterally by Yueyao.
Xiao Ruojin was right; their love story did indeed begin with deception.
So... what about now?
Has Yueyao truly developed feelings for him now?
Or is it because she wants to continue to utilize his innate martial arts meridians that she stays by his side?
The deeper a person loves, the more prone they are to feeling anxious and insecure.
These hurtful words had already begun to shake Baili Dongjun's resolve.
He believed he genuinely liked Yueyao, but did Yueyao genuinely like him in return?
Thinking of this, Baili Dongjun looked at Yueyao with a suspicious gaze.
As if by telepathy, Yueyao also turned her head at the same moment. Their eyes met, and their feelings for each other seemed to be confirmed at that moment.
Sensing the determination and affection in his lover's eyes, Baili Dongjun instantly put aside the wavering he had just felt.
However, just as he was about to loudly refute Xiao Ruojin, her second sentence came rushing in like a river bursting its banks, unstoppable.
“Baili Dongjun.” Xiao Ruojin’s voice was cold and powerful, piercing through the surrounding noise and striking the depths of Baili Dongjun’s soul:
"My second point is: Tianwaitian came to Tianqi City because of you, and Ye Dingzhi was targeted by them because he was trying to save you. You could say that the hardships he's experiencing now were originally meant for you by Tianwaitian, but he's stopped them. Tell me—"
Was Ye Dingzhi taking the blame for you, bearing the consequences for you?
Baili Dongjun's eyes widened suddenly, as if struck by lightning. His hand, which was reaching for Yueyao, froze in mid-air, and his face turned pale instantly.
