Chapter 993: Different Positions, Different Information
To be able to wipe out the entire Holy Spirit Continent in a few seconds, what kind of colossus was hidden in the huge abyss eye?
Previously, when she found out that the four Prime Masters and a thousand Grand Masters were going to activate the Sky Penetrating Array tomorrow and send 12 genius youths to the Great World, Sheng Yang found it ridiculous and incomprehensible.
She thought that they could defeat the mysterious thing under the abyss eye like they had defeated Holy Spirit Goldfeather.
However, Yu Huang was the owner of the Eternal Eye. What she saw through the Eternal Eye was the future that would definitely happen.
After knowing that the Holy Spirit Continent would be devoured by the thing in the abyss, Sheng Yang realized that her father and the others were right.
Taking a deep breath, Sheng Yang wiped the tears off her face and raised her head to shout at the snakeman staff beside Pupu An, “Please get us another box of beer!”
“Okay!”
The snake man wagged his tail and walked over with a box containing 12 bottles of beer. After he placed the beer on the table, he said, “Our boss said that this box of beer is on us.”
Hearing this, Sheng Lingfeng turned around and gave Pupu An a thumbs up. “Thank you, Mr. Pupu An.”
As a Grand Master with a high cultivation level, Pupu An was also someone who would sacrifice himself for the Sky Penetrating Array. He naturally understood why Sheng Lingfeng and his wife brought the three children here to eat barbecue tonight.
It was the revelry before parting.
Pupu An smiled and said, “Tonight, we won’t return until we’re drunk.”
“Okay!”
After Sheng Xiao opened the caps of all the beer and placed it in the middle of the table, he said, “Come on, let’s drink to our heart’s content tonight.”
“Okay!”
They chatted as they drank.
They talked about the interesting things that happened to Sheng Xiao and his sister when they were young. They talked about the various scenes of Sheng Lingfeng and his wife meeting in the Demon Beast Continent. Unknowingly, Sheng Yang and Sheng Xiao downed three of the 12 bottles of beer. Yu Huang and Sheng Lingfeng drank two bottles each.
When the table was filled with empty wine bottles, the sky lit up slightly.
As Sheng Xiao stared at the mess on the table, his eyes turned red.
Sheng Xiao wiped his eyes hard and suddenly lowered his eyes to ask, “When will the next time I come here to eat barbecue and drink beer be?”
The four people at the table suddenly fell silent.
Suddenly, a rough palm pressed on Sheng Xiao’s back.
Sheng Xiao looked up slowly and met his father’s solemn gaze. Sheng Lingfeng looked at his eldest son with relief and reluctance as he said, “Xiao’er, parents bring their children into this world. Everyone has to face the future of their children sending their parents off.”
“And you’re just sending us away a little earlier.” After a pause, Sheng Lingfeng held Sheng Xiao’s hand tightly. “You don’t have to be too sad.”
Sheng Xiao looked at his parents with tears in his eyes.
After recovering a portion of his memories, he had already awakened his sense of belonging to the Black Qing Sky Dragon Race. However, the Sheng clan and his parents who had given birth to him and raised him were also people he couldn’t let go of the most.
“Dad.”
“Mom.”
Sheng Xiao’s address stunned Sheng Lingfeng and Lan Yao.
Immediately after, tears welled up in their eyes.
Sheng Xiao held his parents’ hands and lowered his head to kiss the back of their hands with the most pious and grateful emotions. When two streams of tears landed on the back of Sheng Lingfeng and his wife’s hands, they felt a lump in their throats.
Sheng Xiao choked on his tears as he said, “I’m grateful for your kindness. Don’t worry, I will return to the Holy Spirit Continent with Yu Huang.”
“The day we return will be the day the crisis on the continent is resolved!”
Lan Yao was so saddened that she turned her head in another direction, and tears fell.
Sheng Lingfeng’s eyes were filled with tears as he held Sheng Xiao’s finger and said, “Alright! I believe you will be able to come back.”
He also believed that the crisis on the continent would eventually be resolved.
…
After leaving the barbecue shop, the family returned to the hotel in silence.
In the corridor outside the room, Sheng Xiao saw Sheng Zhou standing at the door.
Sheng Zhou had participated in the Kunlun Mystic Realm’s training with them back then, but he was eliminated and was fortunately saved by the old dean.
Sheng Zhou hurriedly nodded at them and greeted, “Young Master, Young Madam.”
Yu Huang saw that Sheng Zhou had something to tell Sheng Xiao, so she said to him, “Brother Xiao, talk to Sheng Zhou. I’ll take a shower first. Don’t miss Yin Rong’s wedding.”
“Yeah.”
After Yu Huang entered the room, Sheng Xiao looked down at Sheng Zhou and said, “You know everything.” Sheng Xiao sounded certain.
Sheng Zhou’s eyes turned red.
“Yes.” Sheng Zhou nodded vigorously and said, “Mentor talked to me last night and handed the management of the Sheng family to me.”
“Junior Brother.” Sheng Zhou looked at Sheng Xiao sadly and asked, “Is what Mentor said true?”
Sheng Xiao nodded with a heavy expression. “Yes.”
Sheng Zhou bit his lip and trembled.
After a moment of silence, Sheng Zhou suddenly took a step back and bowed to Sheng Xiao. Then, he lowered his head and said, “Young Master, you can leave with assurance. I will help you take care of the Sheng clan and protect all the people in Yufu City!”
Sheng Xiao believed in Sheng Zhou’s strength.
Among all Sheng Lingfeng’s personal disciples, Sheng Zhou was the most mature one. He was born to be the head of a large clan.
In terms of governing a large clan, Sheng Xiao wasn’t as good as him.
As Sheng Xiao stared at the man who was bowing respectfully, he suddenly asked, “Are you just going to take good care of the Sheng clan and Yufu City? Are you really uninterested in Yang Yang?”
Sheng Zhou looked up and stared at Sheng Xiao in shock.
Because he was too shocked, Sheng Zhou didn’t notice that his expression looked panicked.
That reaction was like that of a person with a guilty conscience being exposed.
“Young Master, I… I don’t have any ulterior motives regarding Yang Yang…” Yang Yang was only 20 years old this year. Sheng Zhou was already in his forties. He didn’t dare to let Sheng Xiao think that he was a man with ulterior motives.
However-
Although he did have romantic feelings for Yang Yang,
he had never done anything to Yang Yang.
Sheng Zhou tried his best to clear his name, but when he met Sheng Xiao’s shrewd gaze, he suddenly felt that Sheng Xiao had seen through him.
Sheng Zhou felt very defeated.
Sheng Zhou sighed and his ears turned red as he said in embarrassment, “I do have feelings for Yang Yang. I love her very much, but I know my identity and Yang Yang’s identity. Besides, she’s still young. I’m almost thirty years older than her.”
“I know my limits even without your reminder.”
