Since they had decided to see Prime Emperor Yu Tian tomorrow night, Yu Huang and Sheng Xiao bid farewell to Zhan Wuya.
Zhan Wuya felt that it was too sudden. "You guys have just arrived, but you're already leaving? You have to stay for the night no matter what." During dinner, they had no intention of leaving. Why were they suddenly leaving now?
"It's like this. Our break is about to end. Since there are still two more days, we want to go to the Magic Academy to see our good friend." Yu Huang lamented. "Yin Rong is staying in the Magic Academy all alone. We haven't seen each other in a long time. We miss her very much."
"So you're going to see your friend." Zhan Wuya saw that Yu Huang and the others had already made up their mind to leave, so he did not ask them to stay and only said, "You don't have to greet my mentor. I'll go and inform him personally tomorrow morning. If you're in a hurry, I'll find you an aeroplane."
Sheng Xiao did not reject Zhan Wuya's arrangement.
Zhan Jiuxiao had killed his grandfather, so it was not too much for him to sit in the War God Clan's aeroplane. "Then I'll have to trouble you, Mr. Wuya."
"It's not troublesome." Zhan Wuya's lips quivered a few times. He had many things to say, but he was too ashamed to say them.
Sheng Xiao could tell that Zhan Wuya was conflicted, so he patted Zhan Wuya's shoulder and said calmly, "Mr. Wuya, I'll take responsibility for my own actions. The person who killed my grandfather was Prime Emperor Jiuxiao. It has nothing to do with you. You and I are still friends, so you don't have to feel ashamed of what Prime Emperor Jiuxiao did back then."
The person who should be ashamed was not Zhan Wuya at all.
Zhan Wuya was not naive enough to think that Sheng Xiao did not mind. Sheng Xiao just did not blame innocent people.
Zhan Wuya's intuition told him that Sheng Xiao would not let this go easily.
"Let me send you off." Zhan Wuya personally sent the two of them off. Before they reached the aeroplane in the inner city, they saw Ye Qingyang, who had rushed over.
"Yu Huang, are you guys leaving?" Ye Qingyang suddenly teleported in front of them and blocked their path.
From the looks of it, he had received their message and teleported over.
"Yes, we have some private matters to do." Yu Huang smiled at Ye Qingyang and said, "Your break isn't over yet, so stay in the inner city and accompany your good friends. See you in the inner academy." She patted the back of Ye Qingyang's hand and pulled Sheng Xiao away.
However, Ye Qingyang said, "That won't do. I have to leave with you guys." He glanced at the strict and towering inner city building with a playful gaze as he said mysteriously, "I'm a ghostly cultivator, so I don't dare to stay in the inner city, which is filled with Beast Tamer powerhouses. Perhaps after I fall asleep tonight, I'll never wake up again."
Ye Qingyang touched his Adam's apple and stared at Zhan Wuya, whose handsome face was tense, as he said meaningfully, "There's a fiendish cultivator suppressed under this deserted island. That fiendish cultivator was able to possess Mr. Sheng Pinghui and commit evil back then. Perhaps he can also possess me and continue to commit evil."
Ye Qingyang suddenly gave Zhan Wuya a sinister smile as he whispered into Zhan Wuya's ear, "Zhan Wuya, be careful. You might also be possessed by a fiendish cultivator when you fall asleep one night." With that, Ye Qingyang quickly ran to the front and boarded the aeroplane before Yu Huang and the others.
Yu Huang and Sheng Xiao looked helpless. Zhan Wuya was so angry that he clenched his fists because of what Ye Qingyang said before he left.
"We'll get going first." After saying goodbye to Zhan Wuya again, Sheng Xiao and Yu Huang boarded the aeroplane without hesitation. When they saw Ye Qingyang, who was sitting at the bar and drinking, Sheng Xiao asked him, "Why did you say those words in front of Zhan Wuya?"
After Ye Qingyang took a sip of the wine, he leaned back and his gaze passed Sheng Xiao's back and landed on Yu Huang, who was behind him. Then, Ye Qingyang said mysteriously, "Yu Huang, who do you think will be the next fiendish cultivator?"
Yu Huang lowered her eyes and met Ye Qingyang's deep black eyes in surprise.
She really did not expect Ye Qingyang to have the same evil thoughts as her.
Yu Huang did not answer him, but she walked to another bar stool and sat down. Then, she said to the bartender, "Please squeeze me a cup of apple juice." Behind the bar counter, there was a transparent glass window. After Yu Huang raised her head and stared at the sky behind the glass window, she suddenly praised, "The stars in the sky are so beautiful tonight."
Upon hearing this, Ye Qingyang raised his wine glass and clinked it with the fruit juice cup in front of Yu Huang. Then, he looked up at the ceiling and lamented, "I wonder how long the stars in the sky can remain lit up for."
These two people were talking in riddles.
As Sheng Xiao was sandwiched between them, he listened to them with an impassive expression.
He raised his head and looked at the ceiling, then at the stars outside the window. As he thought about the question Ye Qingyang had asked Yu Huang earlier, he suddenly felt enlightened.
How long could the stars in the sky remain lit up for…
How long could Zhan Wuya remain safe and sound…
"How is that possible…" Sheng Xiao could not believe his guess. He looked at Yu Huang to ask why she and Ye Qingyang thought that Zhan Wuya would become the second fiendish cultivator.
pαпdα-ňᴏνê|·сóМ Yu Huang and Sheng Xiao had telepathy. Without him asking, Yu Huang told him the answer.
"Moth painting."
Sheng Xiao was stunned. "Moth painting?"
Nodding her head, Yu Huang said with a complicated expression, "Brother Xiao, you also went to Mr. Wuya's house today. Did you notice a cicada oil painting hanging on the wall of his living room?"
"I saw it." But Sheng Xiao did not notice anything wrong with the painting, so he said, "Cicada symbolizes the cycle of life. Is there a problem with the painting hanging in the living room?"
"Heh…" Ye Qingyang let out that sinister smile filled with ghost energy as he said," Then did you notice the white cicada skin that he took off transformed into a pitch-black cicada body that makes people uncomfortable? "
"Generally speaking, when a cicada sheds its shell, what it sheds should be a golden cicada's molt, while the new cicada has a body that is close to a light yellow color. As for the cicada in the painting, it sheds its innocence and purity and obtains darkness and evil. That's not a cicada shedding its shell. It's simply a curse!"
"The person who gave Zhan Wuya the painting is trying to slowly bewitch Zhan Wuya's mind through the painting. When the time is right, he will turn the child he is most proud of into a cruel and evil demon!"
Sheng Xiao was terrified when he heard Ye Qingyang's words.
He was not afraid of the painting, but of the ruthlessness of the person who gave it to Zhan Wuya.
Yu Huang also said, "I don't know what that painting is, but my psychic power can sense a strong demonic nature from that painting. I think that the moment that cicada completely breaks out of its shell and rebirths will be the moment Zhan Wuya forgets his original self and becomes a demon."
"Brother Xiao, Zhan Wuya's situation is very dangerous." Yu Huang twirled the fruit juice cup in her hand as she lamented softly, "I even suspect that Prime Emperor Jiuxiao was willing to take him in back then because he had ulterior motives."
Zhan Wuya respected and loved the person who had ulterior motives against him like a god.
How sad.
