Chapter 346 One of the Masterminds Behind the Scenes (1/2)

Before his retirement, Mr. Xi was frequently seen in major news reports, books, and newspapers, and almost everyone in China knew him.

After retiring, I began to enjoy my later years.

Now at eighty, he still looks very energetic and has very few gray hairs.

Master Xi picked up a small porcelain cup and placed it in front of Ye Ling, personally pouring her a cup of tea.

After pouring the food, he gestured for her to proceed, then looked up at Ye Ling.

Ye Ling didn't appreciate his kindness and looked at him coldly.

Seeing that she wouldn't drink, Old Master Xi laughed and said, "What, are you afraid I'll poison you?"

Ye Ling said casually, "This prince simply finds it dirty."

Old Master Xi slowly suppressed his smile: "I still prefer the way you are manipulated by me. Watching you struggle so hard, unable to break free from my grasp, being tormented by me time and time again, is much more fun than what you are doing now."

Ye Ling chuckled lightly: "Hmm, I didn't understand where your inferiority complex came from before. Thanks to you, I've seen so many servants and slaves in the mortal world. For a bite to eat, they lost all dignity, face, and basic human decency."

You used to have to kneel and kowtow to me when you saw me, you must have felt terrible then, right? You are a chosen one of heaven, even emperors in the mortal world had to bow to you, and now that you have finally ascended to heaven, why is your status so much lower?

In the celestial realm, not only do you have to kneel and pay respects to me, but you also have to bow to my pets. You also have to be respectful to the fairies and heavenly soldiers.

If I'm not mistaken, not long after you ascended to the Immortal Realm, your mind began to twist. You couldn't stand immortals who were of a higher rank than you, and you must have harbored resentment towards any immortal you bowed to.

It was around that time that you began to take crooked paths, colluding with foreign races, gradually plunging the Immortal Realm into chaos, and even drawing me into your scheme.”

Old Master Xi lost his composure, his expression slightly distorted.

Ye Ling seemed not to have noticed and suddenly asked, "By the way, what's your name? Every time you bow to me, I never even glance at you. I don't remember what you look like, let alone your name."

"Bang--"

The porcelain cup in Old Master Xi's hand was instantly crushed.

When the shattered fragments flew towards Ye Ling, they suddenly turned into dust and disappeared before their eyes.

Ye Ling remained as steady as Mount Tai, looking at the gloomy-faced Elder Xi: "You're almost in your grave, yet you're still so easily angered. You're truly unworthy of your status in this world."

She suddenly stared at him for a while and said, "Let the Qi and Jiang families, who are originally loyal families, suddenly bear the blame for crimes punishable by death, let the Wei and Gu families and other small families besiege them, and then use the media to report on it extensively, so that the Qi and Jiang families become traitors that everyone hates."

Seeing them being murdered one by one in despair, this vicious thought... Before I had any memories, I used to wonder, who exactly wanted to exterminate the Qi family and the Jiang family?

"Who is targeting me now? Just who is this person? Now that my memories have returned, I realize that this vicious plan was orchestrated by no one but you and your master."

She looked at Old Master Xi with disdain: "I'll call you Little Xi for now. When the Qi family was wiped out, you deliberately made me the one who escaped the net, didn't you?"

Old Master Xi's eyes turned sinister as he stared at Ye Ling and suddenly laughed: "Of course, otherwise why would I let you suffer so much?"
