A flash of understanding crossed Xiao Fan's face, followed by a look of regret. After all, he and Ye Yan were fellow disciples under Xu Yunfan, so their relationship had been decent enough.
But his expression soon returned to its usual calm.
He murmured, "Senior Brother Ye... his ambition was too great, and his obsession ran too deep. Ever since he joined the sect, he saw nothing but power and revenge. It was inevitable that his actions would become radical and paranoid."
It was a fair assessment.
"Paranoid?"
Xu Yunfan scoffed, his heart completely unmoved.
"That wasn't paranoia! It was stupidity! Utter and complete stupidity!"
He looked at Xiao Fan, his eyes so deep they seemed capable of piercing right through a person's soul.
