Sheng Xiao said, "That's indeed a possibility." After Sheng Xiao stood up and walked to the window, he looked at the high-rise buildings in the city below. When he thought about how he was about to return to Jingdu and Yufu City, he felt homesick.
Mo Yuelou and the others didn't know what Sheng Xiao felt. They were more concerned about why Sheng Xiao returned to the Holy Spirit Continent all alone.
"Young Master Sheng." Mo Yuelou stared at Sheng Xiao's back as he asked in confusion, "The situation is urgent now, so why did you suddenly return to the Holy Spirit Continent all alone? Is there something urgent you need to do?"
After Sheng Wuque thought about how Prime Emperor Divine Miracle had helped Sheng Xiao become a Divine Master in order to find the reincarnation of the Divine Masters, he asked, "Could it be that there are other reincarnations of Divine Masters hidden in the Holy Spirit Continent?" Sheng Wuque was just joking.
However, Sheng Zhou, Feng Tang, and the others looked at Sheng Xiao nervously after hearing Sheng Wuque's joke.
Sheng Zhou asked Sheng Xiao, "Are you really here for this?"
"I came back this time to tell everyone that I'm safe." Sheng Xiao turned around and leaned his long legs against the sightseeing glass window behind him. His handsome face was against the light, and his deep and sharp facial features gave off a sense of intimidation.
He said, "We've been gone for seven years. The longer we're gone, the more worried everyone will be. Therefore, I decided to come back first and let everyone know about the changes in our Great World. I hope my arrival can bring hope to everyone."
"If a world loses hope, that would be awful."
Upon hearing this, Mo Yuelou sighed heavily and said, "You're right. A hopeless world will fall into chaos." Mo Yuelou glanced at everyone and said, "You guys aren't in the military camp, so you don't know how bad the change in morale has been in the past two years. You guys have been gone for seven years, and all the former top experts have self-destructed their Beast Hearts and become civilians. From some time ago, signs of an apocalypse began to spread in the civilian world. The soldiers in the military camp are unstable, and all kinds of cruel situations frequently appear on the battlefield…"
Mo Yuelou didn't elaborate on the details, but Feng Tang and the others could understand what Mo Yuelou was implying.
A country and world that had lost hope would fall into chaos and lose order.
A society without order would be stripped of its civilization, revealing the barbaric and inhumane ugliness inside.
Burn, kill, rob, rape…
There would be anarchy, and people would lose their humanity and become beasts driven by desire and ruthlessness.
If this continued, before the Great Dao could reel in the net, the Holy Spirit Continent would destroy itself.
Staring at Sheng Xiao, Mo Yuelou suddenly calmed down and said, "Sheng Xiao, thank you for coming back." The news of Sheng Xiao's return would be like a bomb in every corner of the Holy Spirit Continent. It would kill off the greed of everyone with ulterior motives, and bring order and hope back to the human world. The Holy Spirit Continent would stabilize again.
Mo Yuelou was grateful for Sheng Xiao's return.
Sheng Xiao was touched when he saw the respect and gratitude in Mo Yuelou's eyes. Coming back this time was the right decision.
"I decided to come back and take a look. Also." Sheng Xiao glanced at Sheng Zhou with an unfathomable gaze.
When Sheng Zhou met Sheng Xiao's gaze, Sheng Yang's figure flashed across his mind.
As expected, he saw Sheng Xiao say, "I came back on behalf of my friends to see if their family is okay." Sheng Xiao asked Sheng Zhou, "Eldest Senior Brother, are my parents and sister okay? You took good care of them, right?"
Sheng Wuyang and Sheng Wuque understood the meaning behind Sheng Xiao's words. Sheng Xiao was asking Sheng Zhou if he had done anything to Sheng Yang.
Sheng Zhou's earlobes turned red. Then, he lowered his head and stammered, "Young Master, I promised you that I wouldn't marry her without your permission." Sheng Zhou had always been a person who kept his word, so he would do what he had promised Sheng Xiao.
"That's good."
"Feng Tang." Sheng Xiao suddenly called out to Feng Tang.
Feng Tang was a little stunned when he was suddenly called out.
He looked up in shock and asked Sheng Xiao, "Did something happen to Little Fourth in the Great World?" Feng Tang couldn't think of any other reason.
"No, I have something to ask you." Sheng Xiao nodded at Eternal, who walked in and politely invited Mo Yuelou, Caro Xiangfu, and the others out, leaving only the confused Feng Tang and Sheng Xiao.
After leaving the conference room, Sheng Wuque leaned against Sheng Wuyang's shoulder and turned around to look at the conference room curiously.
However, Eternal closed the door and blocked Sheng Wuque's prying gaze.
"Tsk, Eternal's personality isn't cute at all." Sheng Wuque complained, "As expected, like master, like child." In Sheng Wuque and the others' eyes, Eternal, who was the human version of Sheng Xiao's beast form, was Sheng Xiao's child.
He felt that Eternal was more stoic and aloof than Sheng Xiao.
Sheng Zhou, Mo Yuelou, and Xuanyuan Chen exchanged looks. They realized that Sheng Xiao's main purpose for suddenly returning to the Holy Spirit Continent was to investigate something with Feng Tang.
Something related to Feng Tang…
Mo Yuelou whispered, "Could it be Yuncheng?"
Feng Yuncheng's handsome face flashed across Xuanyuan Chen's mind and he said with a frown, "That kid had always been a little strange. Could it be that he did something suspicious?"
"Stop guessing. Since they closed the door, they definitely don't want us to hear them," Caro Xiangfu said thoughtfully.
Xuanyuan Chen glanced at Caro Xiangfu's stomach, but didn't say anything and went straight to the wine hall in front.
Sheng Zhou also took Sheng Wuyang and the others away.
After confirming that Sheng Zhou and the others had left, Sheng Xiao said to Feng Tang, "Please sit, Mr. Feng Tang. Don't be nervous. I made you stay behind because I want to ask you something."
Feng Tang was very smart and immediately thought of Feng Yuncheng.
He clenched his fists and asked uneasily, "Did Fourth Brother cause a disaster in the Great World?" Thinking of the uniqueness of Feng Yuncheng's beast form, Feng Tang felt even more uneasy and asked worriedly, "Could it be that Fourth Brother was bullied in the Great World and became a demon?"
This was the worst outcome Feng Tang could think of.
"Neither." Seeing Feng Tang's nervous reaction, Sheng Xiao thought to himself, "Feng Tang has quite a deep relationship with Fourth Brother."
Sheng Xiao told Feng Tang about his purpose. "Mr. Feng Tang, I want to know more about Yuncheng's background."
"Yuncheng's background?" Feng Tang was confused and asked, "What special background can he have? He's the Feng family's fourth son. On the day he was born, the siblings and my father were guarding outside the delivery room. I was there when he was born."
Realizing that Sheng Xiao was suspicious of Feng Yuncheng's identity, Feng Tang said sternly, "Young Master Sheng, I, Feng Tang, have never been a person who lies. I know that what you're doing now is for the sake of the commoners of the three thousand worlds and you must have your reasons for suddenly asking about him. I, Feng Tang, am not stupid. I definitely won't lie about such a thing."
