The First Elder frowned tightly. “You’re only telling me this, right? If you stir up the past in the sect wantonly, it’s inevitable that you’ll be punished.”
“I can’t understand. Have you forgotten when you brought Ling Yue along to play? Our children were also harmed by our enemies. It was Ling Yue who gave us new hope.”
Huo Jue did not stop just because he was berated. Instead, the more he spoke, the more he poked at the First Elder’s heart. “I know that it has already happened and the outcome can’t be changed, but I just want the truth. Am I wrong?”
“You’re not wrong. No one is at fault in this matter. But everything about this matter is still a mystery so far. Do you think I don’t care about the reason for this? I’ve investigated more than once, but the explosion at the scene left nothing behind. Even if 1 wanted to investigate, I couldn’t find anything.”
The expression on the First Elder’s face was mixed with a little discomfort, but he quickly restrained it. “No matter what, we’re not the most anxious. Sect Master Ji is the most uncomfortable. What we can do now is not to say a word, but investigate. We have to find out the truth.”
When Huo Jue heard this, he was obviously happy. “I can rest assured with your words. In the past, i felt that everyone was avoiding this matter. So 1 took this opportunity to ask today.
“First Elder, I apologize if I had offended you, but i did all of this for Ling Yue.”
“It’s okay. If it weren’t for Ling Yue, I wouldn’t have risked my status a few times and tried to find traces.”
The First Elder was very relaxed. He slowly sat on the sofa, but his voice was very serious. “But this matter is definitely not as simple as it looks. I can clearly feel an invisible hand controlling everything behind me. We can’t even compare.”
Huo Jue reached out and stroked his beard. “To be honest, as long as I can return the truth to Ling Yue, I can accept any outcome. Even if i lose my life, I will die without regrets.”
“I understand that you can give up everything for Ling Yue, so can I.” The First Elder still changed the topic back to business. “However, our main mission now is to find a suitable place for the organization to settle down. We still need you to work harder on the Zhou family.”
“No problem. Just wait for my news.” Next, Huo Jue briefly reported his work progress. After exchanging opinions with the First Elder, he was about to leave. Just as he reached the door, a voice came from behind.
“Huo Jue, wait a moment.”
In these few seconds, the First Elder was struggling in his heart, but in the end, he made a decision.
“What’s wrong, First Elder? Do you have any other instructions for this matter?”
Huo Jue’s eyes were a little confused. “Just tell me what instructions you have. Although I’m worried about Ling Yue at all times, i can still distinguish the priorities. The organization’s matters are definitely number one.”
“You misunderstood me. I called you to tell you about Ling Yue.”
The First Elder’s heart was obviously very heavy. “After what happened back then, Sect master Ji Chen and Sect Master Ji Yun personally handled it. Very few people know the exact news. It’s only because I’m the First Elder that I know a little.”
“Please, tell me. Whatever it is, 1 don’t want to miss any relevant news.” Huo Jue was clearly excited. “Perhaps with these, 1 can follow the clues and find out more. I might even be able to find out who’s controlling the people behind the scenes.”
“Everyone only knows that everyone lost their lives because of the explosion, but no one knows that the bomb was not set up by the enemy. After special extraction, it was discovered that the bomb was personally made by Ling Yue,” the First Elder said.
Huo Jue asked, “Is it the latest model developed by Ling Yue?”
“That’s right, that’s it. The bombs extracted from everyone’s bodies are Ling
Yue’s homemade bombs. There’s even a mark she left on them..”
