Monarch Night

Chapter 1567: Chapter 3: Yan Nan’s Melancholy [2-in-1]

"Fifth Brother."

It was Bai Jing calling from outside.

"Fifth Brother is not here!"

Yan Nan said irritably.

Remembering that Yemo was surprisingly associated with this guy’s lineage; suddenly he didn’t want to see Bai Jing’s face anymore.

Bai Jing chuckled and pushed the door open, entering; upon seeing Yan Nan now sprawled on the throne like a pancake, face full of grief, he couldn’t help but be stunned: "Fifth Brother, what’s wrong with you?"

"It’s all because of you!"

Yan Nan cursed fiercely.

"Me?"

Bai Jing was surprised: "What did I do?"

"You know very well what you did!"

Yan Nan replied angrily: "I get angry just seeing you. Why did you come here?"

Bai Jing was speechless.

Looking at Yan Nan’s awful expression, did he really know something?

He scratched his head, feeling a bit guilty, and laughed sheepishly: "Fifth Brother, those White Feather Eagles of yours, I really didn’t mean to kill them. Even though I did mention wanting to roast their wings, it truly was an accident. At the time, I didn’t see clearly, just felt shadows looming, and instinctively swung a sword... Afterward, I realized I had cut down the White Feather Eagles... Anyway, since they’re dead, it’s a waste not to eat, right?"

Bai Jing admitted his mistake: "Fifth Brother, this matter is my fault, even if it wasn’t intentional..."

"!!!"

Yan Nan nearly fainted from anger.

If you hadn’t spoken up, I wouldn’t have known how that flock of White Feather Eagles died a year ago... Turns out you really roasted and ate them!

The White Feather Eagle is an unusual spiritual bird; usually, when soaring in the sky, it looks unremarkable. However, in an emergency, ascending straight up into the high clouds, at such altitude, its speed surpasses even the fastest experts.

It can fly at full speed for two days and two nights!

Yan Nan raised a brood, intending to put them to great use. After all, the White Feather Eagle can carry people in flight.

But just as they matured, before they could be utilized, they were gone.

Only a pile of eagle feathers was found.

Yan Nan investigated several times yet found no clues, and today unexpectedly found the real culprit, even confessing voluntarily.

Yan Nan steadied his anger and said plainly: "Who asked you about the White Feather Eagles? This I knew long ago. As family, don’t I know your taste? It’s fine that you ate them; it doesn’t matter. But what I’m talking about is another matter! You know what it is! Stop distracting me with trivial things!"

Bai Jing became even more embarrassed.

"Fifth Brother... You... Why stubbornly bring up old grievances; it makes the brothers feel bad. It’s over, let’s just let it go, okay? I sincerely apologize to you."

"Enough nonsense!"

Yan Nan slammed the table and swiftly pulled out a Golden Mace, placing it with a bang on the table: "Are you forcing me to use the family law our Eldest Brother left?!"

"No, no, no..."

Bai Jing scrambled backwards, face turned pale: "Fifth Brother, I’ll speak."

"Humph!"

"Back then, when Sun Wutian and the others went out and ended up getting killed, it wasn’t me intentionally inciting it. I only mentioned there might be an array set up by Dongfang Sansan over there, and they just went over. I was just rambling after drinking..."

Bai Jing said dejectedly, face turning white: "How could I have known that those Old Demons and Jianghu veterans would never return once they went out... They all fucking died there... Damn it, it was purely an accident..."

"For fuck’s sake!!"

Yan Nan lost it on the spot.

Bai Jing hung his head, not daring to speak.

"Oh, Old Eight Bai, Old Eight Bai..."

Yan Nan was so furious he stood up, pacing in circles, consumed with uncontrollable rage: "This cold-blooded flaw of yours, can’t you change it? Even though Sun Wutian and the others weren’t sworn brothers of ours, they were mainstays of Wei Wo Zheng Sect, partners who helped conquer the world! Even if you only considered them subordinates, you shouldn’t act indifferent when four main figures died for so many years, right?"

"Can you think of others besides us brothers sometimes? Can you?"

"It was your mistake that led to their deaths in battle! Yet, you’ve been pretending to be clueless, not saying a single word for all these years?!"

No matter how Yan Nan berated him, Bai Jing always kept his head hung, saying nothing.

His attitude in admitting fault was good.

But I’ll repeat my mistakes in the future.

This stance made Yan Nan so angry his eyes saw stars.

He was more helpless about Bai Jing’s temper and character than anyone else. Others can cultivate loyal descendants, but this guy only acknowledges brothers and Eldest Brother, and disregards everyone else!

Life and death, none of my business.

You’re dead because of me, it’s still none of my business.

You died saving me... You’re my subordinate, wasn’t it right to save me? As for your death, isn’t it because you weren’t strong enough?

"Is there anything else?" Yan Nan suppressed his fury.

"There’s none left."

"Really none left?"

"This time there’s really none left."

Bai Jing, after being scolded, had long forgotten what he came to see Yan Nan for today.

Upon hearing there’s indeed none left, Yan Nan turned around and picked up the Golden Mace, swung down over Bai Jing’s head: "My eagle! Four people! My eagle! Four people! Damn it!... "

Boom boom boom...

The ground suddenly shook where Yan Nan of Wei Wo Zheng Sect was located...

Everyone looked at each other in confusion: What happened?

After a long while.

Bai Jing stood with a bruised face, like a pig’s head.

Yan Nan panted heavily, his eyes glaring like copper bells.

"Have you changed?"

"Changed."

"From now on, treat the people below better, don’t be so heartless. Damn it, you have countless resources and positions in your hands, sharing a little with them would make them indebted. So don’t be... "

"I have passed everything down."

"..."

Bai Jing coughed and said: "Fifth Brother, I understand what you’re saying, about the White Feathered Eagle, it’s my fault. But as for the others... what else can I do?"

Yan Nan widened his eyes: "??"

"The family is right over there, they’re alive, I’ve given what I should give; I’ve given everything, but if they can’t compete with others due to their own incompetence, what can I do? If they don’t strive for cultivation and get killed, am I supposed to avenge them?"

"As for the sect... why do you all keep saying I’m heartless?" Bai Jing was clearly a bit aggrieved: "Subordinates are subordinates, brothers are brothers. Subordinates have their own destinies and paths, isn’t it better to let them struggle on their own?"

"I’m just doing what we leaders are supposed to do, how does that make me heartless? Must I form a clique with loyal followers to not be called heartless?"

Bai Jing said: "Let them fend for themselves, isn’t that better?"

He was clearly very indignant.

Lived long enough.

He understands what he should, but understanding doesn’t mean he’ll act accordingly.

He’s always had this way of doing things, in Bai Jing’s heart, only ten people mattered to him, that’s his nine sworn brothers and Duan Xiyang.

As for others, he hardly notices them, let alone cares about them.

Even descendants of the Bai Family, sometimes he feels they let him down, but to personally change something, he wouldn’t.

If your father and grandfather don’t guide you, why should I, the ancestor, educate you? If you don’t educate them, and they get butchered, don’t come crying to me!

Just as now, he ate Yan Nan’s White Feathered Eagle, knowing it’s his fault. Because Yan Nan is his sworn brother, it’s his mistake.

But what does Sun Wutian them hearing a few words from him and rushing out to die have to do with him? How is it his responsibility?

He was just a reason.

Yan Nan is also helpless with Bai Jing’s temperament!

He’s been like this for decades, could a beating today really change him? Yan Nan didn’t dream that beautifully.

"So what was your purpose in looking for me today?"

Tossing away the Golden Mace, Yan Nan sighed helplessly.

"Regarding the duel between Life and Death Sword Li Yao and Dong Changfeng, there are four days left; it’s said that Feng Yunqi has already left the Guardian Headquarters, heading to Qipan Mountain to watch the battle."

"Many Jianghu experts are gathering there as well."

"Many of our people will also be going to watch."

"Dong Changfeng has appeared, carrying the Golden Snake Spear, he’s crossing the desert step by step."

"Li Yao is also preparing to set off, so I came to inform you."

Bai Jing said: "Li Yao ultimately belongs to my subordinates."

Yan Nan felt the opportunity arise, asked: "What instructions have you given Li Yao?"

"Instructions?"

Bai Jing was startled: "Is there any need for instructions?"

Yan Nan sighed: "Dong Changfeng proposed the challenge, he must have improved greatly in cultivation. And if high-ranking Guardians allowed him to challenge, they must have confidence in surpassing Li Yao. Otherwise, Dongfang Sansan wouldn’t recklessly lose such a Weapon List expert."

"So, Li Yao is very dangerous now. Life and death danger. And his fate is in your hands with just a thought."

Yan Nan said blandly: "In the Cloud Weapon List challenge, victory or death; without backing from high levels, Li Yao could only die in battle."

"But if you say one word: Li Yao, live to return regardless of win or loss!"

Yan Nan said: "Then Li Yao would feel assured. Since he’s assured, he might choose to save face but retain his life to return. Because his victory or loss has become a sect mission, not personal honor."

Bai Jing said nonchalantly: "What does his life or death have to do with me? He agreed to the challenge without my consent, so his life or death is his own responsibility."
