193: Chapter 193 The Arrival of the White Peony
"What? This..."
Black Bat was dumbfounded. The group of killers he was so proud of were not even a match for Master Bai Mudan for a single round; they had been instantly killed by her in one move.
Just as he was in shock, Master Bai Mudan suddenly exerted force, and her figure arrived right in front of him.
Those delicate, jade-like hands were clamped firmly around Black Bat's neck.
With a face full of unwillingness and shock, this extra who had appeared from nowhere met his end.
Master Bai Mudan brushed the dust off her sleeves.
She continued walking, as if what had just happened was merely an insignificant trifle.
"Greetings, Venerable One."
Before she had walked many steps, her path was blocked by a woman with snow-white skin.
The person who arrived was Per, one of the four great guardians of the Nether Palace.
"Didn't I warn you not to come looking for me unless it was a matter of monumental importance?"
Seeing the nervous look on the newcomer's face, Master Bai Mudan reprimanded her with great displeasure.
She had gone to great lengths to take Ye Yun, a person with considerable talent, as her disciple, and had dumped the Nether Palace into his hands.
She had originally thought that she could shed her heavy burden, roam the world freely, and see the sights of the world.
She hadn't expected that no matter where she went, someone would disturb her.
Being disturbed by enemies was one thing, but being disturbed by her own people now made Master Bai Mudan even more displeased.
Per sensed the anger in Master Bai Mudan's heart, and her expression became even more awkward.
She was very clear that disturbing her Venerable One while she was traveling the world was indeed inappropriate.
But those rumors spreading online, especially those videos,
if she were to conceal them and not inform the Venerable One,
once the Venerable One found out about those things, she feared the Venerable One would be even more furious; even if she had ten lives, it wouldn't be enough for the Venerable One to deal with.
After weighing the pros and cons, she still chose to come before Master Bai Mudan, prepared to confess everything.
"No need to stammer. What exactly has happened? Speak quickly."
Master Bai Mudan's dark eyes were like two bottomless abysses.
She even restrained all of her aura, looking just like a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl, seemingly harmless.
Yet, those few simple words caused Per, a person with Dark Realm strength who had shone brightly in the mercenary world and was one of the four great guardians of the Nether Palace, to tremble, her entire body subconsciously shaking.
"Venerable... Venerable One, the... the matter is like this..."
Seeing Master Bai Mudan angry, she could only force herself to take a deep breath to calm her mood.
Then, she reported tremblingly: "Reporting to the Venerable One, your subordinate discovered a video on the mercenary network. I have already tracked it down to a newly registered account. The video content is mainly about you and the Underworld Palace Master."
"The content of this video is a profound humiliation for you, for the Underworld Palace Master, and even for the entire Nether Palace."
"Our brothers discovered it in time. Although we deleted many of the videos, the speed at which this video is spreading is simply too fast. Now, the entire mercenary world is likely aware of the Underworld Palace Master's actions."
"What exactly happened with Ye Yun? Speak clearly now."
Seeing Per's strange expression and how she was stammering, having spoken for a long time without ever getting to the point, Master Bai Mudan's tone became increasingly unkind.
As a long-renowned expert, a legend in the mercenary world, the former master of the Nether Palace, and a powerhouse with a resounding reputation.
Master Bai Mudan had an intuition that the matter Ye Yun encountered was not a small one; it was an urgent, life-and-death matter that he simply could not handle well.
"It's like this..."
Per was very familiar with her Venerable One's personality.
She understood that at this moment, she had truly angered her.
Per dared not hesitate any longer. Amidst her confusion, she organized her words and recounted in detail the content of the video that had been circulating.
"That video was framed and synthesized by someone, I don't know whom. They framed the Underworld Palace Master, claiming he was drunk and mistook two Tibetan Mastiffs for you and the Underworld Palace Master's wife, Su Mingyue. The Underworld Palace Master... gave those two Tibetan Mastiffs... gave..."
Hearing Per's account, Master Bai Mudan was so shocked by this earth-shattering news that she was speechless.
Ye Yun had gotten drunk and actually mistaken a Tibetan Mastiff for her, and even forcibly pushed it down.
The most fatal part was that this kind of thing had actually been filmed and spread far and wide.
This matter was simply too shocking.
If it were true, for the entire Nether Palace, and for her and Ye Yun, it would simply be a profound humiliation.
"Things cannot be that simple. I still trust Ye Yun's character very much. Sometimes he does things a bit foolishly, but he wouldn't do something like this. This matter must be a conspiracy; he was framed."
After learning the content of the video, it was indeed beyond Master Bai Mudan's expectations.
She hadn't expected that one day, she would become an object of someone else's delusions.
After deep thought, Master Bai Mudan regained her composure a moment later and did not resent Ye Yun too much.
She believed that the truth of the matter was definitely more than this.
Just as she had said, Master Bai Mudan believed that even if the incident were true, Ye Yun had been framed.
However, given Ye Yun's abilities, the power of the person who could frame him was likely unfathomable; it was already something Ye Yun could not handle.
Thinking of the most critical point, Master Bai Mudan turned her head, looked at Per, and ordered: "Go and make arrangements immediately. I want to rush to the Dragon Kingdom at once to ask Ye Yun about this clearly in person."
With just a few words, Master Bai Mudan had already analyzed the key points.
As for the video content on Per's phone, she couldn't be bothered to watch it.
After all, he was her disciple, and they had spent ten years together day and night. As his master, she naturally understood his character and temperament better than anyone else.
The common flaws of men were undoubtedly displayed in Ye Yun,
perhaps he might be a bit lecherous, but as for pouncing on two Tibetan Mastiffs, and even mistaking one for her and the other for his wife, Su Mingyue,
and committing such beastly acts, Master Bai Mudan believed that her disciple could absolutely not have done such an absurd thing.
Even taking a step back, even if Ye Yun were truly insane, how could this matter be such a coincidence, happening to be filmed and then spread?
Anyone who isn't a fool would understand that there must be many tricks involved; it was clearly intended to frame Ye Yun.
"Yes... Yes, command!"
Per raised her head and subconsciously looked at her Venerable One; on that peerless face, there was still no expression to be seen.
She nodded respectfully, then went down to arrange everything for Master Bai Mudan.
After all, the Underworld Palace Master was in the Dragon Kingdom. With such a big thing happening, I am afraid that no one under heaven can resolve it properly except for the Venerable One going there in person.
