In Another World, Everyone Want to Kill Me!-Chapter 200: Truth Revealed

He glanced at Bai Huayue and he hesitated, unsure of how to begin.

Bai Huayue understood the misgivings in his heart and smiled as she said, "Mingxuan, say whatever you want to say directly. There are no secrets between Brother Lu and me."

When Bai Huayue say this, Yue Mingxuan no longer put on a hesitant front and asked bluntly, "I want to know... What is Brother Lu’s relationship with Flying Opera Group?"

Yue Mingxuan’s question made Tang Lubao laugh out loud. "My relationship with the leader of Flying Opera Group is extremely close. One could say I am Flying Opera Group’s second-in-command."

After speaking, he cast a deep look at Bai Huayue, wondering when this so-called "extremely close relationship" might someday become "she is my wife."

Seeing Tang Lubao admit so frankly his connection with Flying Opera Group, Yue Mingxuan was somewhat surprised. "Then does Brother Lu know who was behind my capture this time?"

After thinking for a moment, Tang Lubao replied, "It was Flying Opera Group’s chief steward, Xiaoyu ."

Seeing that he understood everything so clearly, a sense of grievance rose in Yue Mingxuan’s heart.

"Then since you knew who did it, and also knew that the one taken was me... you... you..."

His heart turned sour and he found himself unable to continue.

Although he come here to seek clarity, he never expecting the truth to be this painful. 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

Seeing that Yue Mingxuan looked as though he was about to cry, Bai Huayue hurried forward two steps and took hold of his hand. "Xiaoxuan, you once called me sister. Do you trust my words or not?"

Yue Mingxuan took a deep breath and nodded.

She continued, "Just now, Brother Lu did not lie to you. You were indeed captured by Flying Opera Group’s chief steward, Xiaoyin and the place you were imprisoned was indeed Piaoxiang Courtyard under Flying Opera Group’s control. We only learned that you had been taken there after Prince Shang sent someone to deliver a message. But if you place all the blame on Brother Lu for this, that would be unfair, because I am the leader of Flying Opera Group. If you have any resentment, it should be directed at me."

Hearing Bai Huayue say this, Yue Mingxuan widened his eyes in shock, then quickly understood.

No wonder those two people were so intent on plotting against him, so she was actually the leader of Flying Opera Group...

Thinking of this, he hurriedly asked, "Sister, they didn’t do anything to you, did they?"

Bai Huayue patted the back of his hand in return and said, "Xiaoxuan is so good, it’s rare that after suffering such grievances yourself, you are still thinking about my safety. This matter was originally done by Xiaoyin behind my back. She colluded with an outsider and want to seize the position of leader in one stroke. She never expected that you would overhear their plans. Brother Lu and I truly did not know about it at first. Xiaoxuan, you suffered these hardships largely because of me. I owe you an apology."

As she spoke, she moved to bow in apology to Yue Mingxuan, but he quickly stopped her.

"Sister, at first I was only aggrieved, thinking that you and Brother Lu clearly knew I was in Piaoxiang Courtyard yet did not come to rescue me. I never expected there to be so many twists and turns behind this. Then what happened to this Xiaoyin? And who exactly did she collude with?"

At the mention of Xiaoyin, a trace of gloom flashed through Bai Huayue’s eyes. "After Xiaoyin saw that her plot had been exposed, she tried to flee, but she was killed by assassins sent by that man."

Yue Mingxuan shuddered violently.

He had personally seen their intimacy moments before they had been full of tender affection, yet in the blink of an eye that man could mercilessly kill a woman who had once been close to him. Such a man’s heart was truly far too cruel.

Seeing Yue Mingxuan fall silent, Bai Huayue more or less guessed what he was thinking. "Dealing with that kind of man is no different from seeking skin from a tiger. Xiaoyin meeting such an end can only be called reaping what she sowed."

"Then... does Sister know that man’s identity?" Yue Mingxuan thought for a moment and asked again.

When the enemy was in the open and he was in the dark, it was better to understand things clearly.

If he could not afford to provoke such a person in the future, could he not at least avoid him?

Bai Huayue shook her head. "I don’t know either. That man acts with extreme caution and ruthless methods. After things were exposed, he killed to silence witnesses. Even if we wanted to investigate, we wouldn’t know where to start."

Hearing Bai Huayue say this, Yue Mingxuan sighed quietly in his heart. This Beirong Kingdom truly was full of danger and peril, it seems it’s not a place suitable for long-term stay.

Now that the misunderstanding had been cleared up, the atmosphere among the three of them eased considerably.

Seeing his expression relax, Bai Huayue probed, "Xiaoxuan, don’t you want to know what our Flying Opera Group actually does?"

Yue Mingxuan smiled somewhat embarrassedly and said, "I thought this counted as a rather sensitive question, so I never dared to ask. I figured it was probably similar to Brother Lu’s Midnight Blades."

Rashly inquiring into another faction’s internal affairs was a major taboo in the martial world.

Although he was not a jianghu person, he still understood this point.

Bai Huayue nodded. "Thinking that way isn’t wrong. It’s just that within our Flying Opera Group, the people under us are what the streets commonly call the ’lower nine professions.’"

The "lower nine professions" originally referred to people of relatively low social standing, such as actors, scribes, matchmakers, prostitutes, thieves, and the like.

They were further divided into nine ranks, as the saying went: first-rate actors, second-rate hustlers, third-rate pimps, fourth-rate procurers, fifth barbers, sixth masseurs, seventh prostitutes, eighth thieves, and ninth ash-blowers.
