"You can't forget your roots. This is what you care about the most."
"That's right." Zhan Wuya nodded vigorously. "The only person I can't bear to hurt in this world is my mentor."
"Mr. Wuya, Prime Emperor Jiuxiao has indeed done you a great favor, so you can't let him suffer public humiliation…" Yu Huang said.
Now that Zhan Jianxue's true colors had been exposed, Prime Emperor Jiuxiao would have no choice but to agree to Zhan Wuya's request to break off the engagement. However, the engagement between Zhan Jianxue and Zhan Wuya had long spread throughout the ten super Great Worlds.
If Zhan Wuya broke off the engagement with Zhan Jianxue, it would be a slap to Zhan Jianxue's face.
Prime Emperor Jiuxiao would be humiliated.
When he heard this, Zhan Wuya's gaze became gloomy and he muttered softly, "So, I can't break off this marriage, right?" However, he knew that Zhan Jianxue was such a cruel person, so he didn't want to marry her at all. Even if he married her, the two of them wouldn't be happy together in the future.
"You can't break off the engagement with Zhan Jianxue, but there must be a prerequisite for this situation." Yu Huang had yet to finish speaking.
Zhan Wuya subconsciously asked, "What prerequisite?"
Yu Huang said, "The prerequisite is that your mentor really treats you like his own child and nurtured you with kind intentions."
Upon hearing this, Zhan Wuya subconsciously retorted, "My mentor has no other ulterior motives towards me! Even a father can't compare to him." Zhan Wuya had never doubted Prime Emperor Jiuxiao's kindness towards him.
Any suspicion was blasphemy.
Yu Huang sneered. "Zhan Wuya. One can't judge a book by its cover. In the past, didn't you also think that Zhan Jianxue was a beautiful and cute little junior who loved you deeply? How do you know that your mentor, who you respect and idolize like a god, doesn't have any ulterior motives towards you?"
Zhan Wuya said, "I…" He wanted to explain, but when he opened his mouth, he realized that he, who had always been eloquent, started stuttering.
Yu Huang stared into his eyes as she pointed out bluntly, "Zhan Wuya, do you dare to say that when you discovered that the thing in the Succubus Witch's body was the Demon Suppressing Eagle, your trust in your Mentor had never wavered? Why didn't you dare to call Prime Emperor Jiuxiao and ask him about the Demon Suppressing Eagle? Why didn't you dare to investigate the details of the battle 170 years ago?"
"Because you're afraid. You're afraid that your Mentor will lie to you. You're even more afraid that you'll discover more of your mentor's dark side."
Yu Huang kicked away the wooden stick in Zhan Wuya's hand and crushed the portrait of Prime Emperor Jiuxiao on the sofa with her foot. Then, Yu Huang lowered her head and looked at the dazed Zhan Wuya as she said, "Zhan Wuya, don't be in a hurry to go back and break off the engagement. Why don't you open your eyes and take a closer look at what kind of person your Mentor is?"
"If you see his true colors clearly, you will know what to do."
Then, Yu Huang walked towards Sheng Xiao and the others.
Zhan Wuya suddenly stood up and asked Yu Huang, "Yu Huang, has anyone ever said that you're very cold-blooded?"
Yu Huang stopped in her tracks, but she didn't turn around.
When Zhan Wuya saw Yu Huang stop, he pointed out angrily, "The fact that you can say such words proves that you're a cold-blooded person who even suspects and guards against your own mentor, father, and friends."
Yu Huang pursed her lips. Then, she turned around and stared at Zhan Wuya with a bright smile as she said, "If those who dare to follow the clues to investigate the truth are called cold-blooded, then those who clearly have evidence but don't dare to investigate the truth are called cowards."
"Zhan Wuya, are you a coward?"
Zhan Wuya was rendered speechless by Yu Huang's words.
