That Fair-Faced 'Sage' {Completed}

90. The Elder And Yi Wen 2

.

After absorbing Yi Wen's core, Shuǐ YanXuan had gone from the peak of the Black Realm, straight into the Light Realm, and this had made him the youngest Light Realmer in Xin Dao's history!

He suddenly won the admiration of the Wulin and the entire Clan, including the elders who had initially been against him.

But the Eldest was still significantly stronger than him, and still looked at him with clear disapproval.

"I don't know what wicked thing you did to achieve success overnight, because no such righteous method exists in Xin Dao! After doing evil, you're still no match?! Useless!

"I will write the other Clan Leaders and we will investigate  just how you became so powerful!"

Fear filled Shuǐ YanXuan, as he realized that almost anyone in the Light Realm could challenge him.

Even more frightening was the High Grandmaster, who was in the Heaven Realm!

'If they find out about Yi Wen, I'm done for!' He worried endlessly, but the second Shuǐ elder had come to his rescue.

"Don't fret. The old man won't be able to say anything... In fact there's nothing you should worry about too closely. Nothing can stop you now, so aim for the point where no one frightens you so much!

"Remember, if there was one, there will certainly be more!"

That night, the Eldest Shuǐ Elder had died...

"Did you hear?! He tried to use a demon enhancement pill to breakthrough, but suffered a qi deviation! He could barely talk, and merely kept pointing at the pill, before he gave up and died!"

None of them noticed that he wasn't pointing to a pill at all, but at a person... The second Shuǐ elder, who stood near the table with the pill.

The second Shuǐ elder hid a smile. He had served tea to the Eldest, with a generous helping of poison, knowing he would attempt to cultivate as usual.

When he heard the Eldest cry out in pain, he had planted the demon pill, before calling out for help.

"You don't remember, do you?" The second Shuǐ elder had told the eldest, before the others arrived. "The injury I sustained from you all those years ago, was the reason I could never grow past a point!

"You happily stepped into the Light realm, while I can't even cross the Mid white realm...  We have the same ancestors, so let me send you to them early!"

The next day, the second Shuǐ elder had mourned with  the rest, and he enjoyed the mmay rumours flying around.

"It is highly shameful to the Shuǐ Clan!" Our strongest member! Won't the whole of Xin Dao assume the rest of us are resorting to dirty means to cultivate?!"

"Disgraceful indeed!"

Shuǐ YanXuan felt like he had been saved.

But he never forgot the fear that had gripped him the previous day, and like the second Shuǐ elder had advised, he aimed to be the strongest in Xin Dao.

He remembered the second Shuǐ elder's words, "...if there was one, there will certainly be more!", and that made him recall he and Yi Wen's second night together.

"I'm not sure why I know, but there were certainly two before me." Yi Wen had said. "I don't know where the original two are, but there are currently four of us left, all in different regions...

"I have a younger sister, who is a rare white Lily, one adorable younger brother, who is a rabbit and an annoying uncle, who is an ancient monkey!

"We never met each other, but as the eldest, I can sense, and even hear them... My younger brother is the most unfortunate. Bai Hua mountain, where he dwells, is always disturbed by humans, so he suffered a lot of qi deviations, and became stuck in the body of a child!
