"Do you just... want a result that much?" Shangguan Hong looked at Ye Chenge and asked softly.

Ye Chenge did not respond to Shangguan Hong.

Shangguan Hong wiped the blood from her neck. The blood was sticky on her fingers. She looked at her hands with disgust.

She had gotten used to it over the years; they had long thought she was a vicious person who had killed her fellow disciples.

Even Ye Chenge missed her the same way.

Since there is no other choice, why not help her find the answer that Ye Chenge wants.

......

"Why are you here again?" Yan Ying asked, looking at the tall figure standing by the window.

Cen Ji had been hovering before her eyes for the past few days. She hadn't practiced properly for a few days. She didn't understand why he was so idle, wasn't he the Lord of the Demon Realm?

"Why can't you come? Are you tired of me?" Cen Ji said in a somewhat aggrieved voice, as he walked around the lamp stand and came in front of Yan Ying.

Yan Ying smirked and shook her head.

It’s not that he was annoyed with him, it’s just that Cen Ji had just left Guiyun Sect in the morning, saying that he had something to deal with in the Demon Realm. Only an hour later, he had finished his business.

"Where did you go when you were not in the room just now?" Cen Ji asked while sitting on the wooden chair next to Yan Ying.

When he came back, he found that Yan Ying was not there, so he waited for her for a while before she came back.

"Sis has returned to the sect, so I'll go see her," Yan Ying replied. "Sis doesn't know about Wu Bai yet..."

Cen Ji nodded in understanding but said nothing.

Even if Yan Ying didn't say it, he knew in his heart that Yan Ying could not let go of Wu Bai.

"You can tell her..." Cen Ji said softly with his eyes lowered.

It was his mistake to release the Ghost Blade from the Demon Realm, and he felt guilty about Wu Bai's death.

Yan Ying heard what Cen Ji said, but shook her head.

Before Cen Ji could ask, Yan Ying looked at him and said, "The Demon Realm is already notorious. If I say Wu Bai was killed by someone from the Demon Realm, the Demon Realm's reputation will become even worse..."

"Cen Ji, everything you've done these years has been for the betterment of the Demon Realm. I don't want your efforts to go to waste."

Although Yan Ying could not get over Wu Bai's death, she knew that every wrong would be punished.

Gui Ren was imprisoned in a dark cell by Cen Ji and was tortured. She had witnessed it with her own eyes.

She tied a sharp blade to Wu Bai's writing brush, and personally inserted the blade into Gui Ren's broken body. She watched Gui Ren die with her own eyes, which could be considered as revenge for Wu Bai.

Cen Ji looked at Yan Ying with tender eyes.

"Kid, I'm not as useless as you think..." Cen Ji said softly.

Why would he need her to think about these things for him? Why would he care about what those people in the sect think of him?

In this entire Kyushu, he didn't care about anyone except her.

"I don't care what they think of me or the Demon Realm," Cen Ji said indifferently. "Because they can't do anything to me."

Yan Ying looked at Cen Ji helplessly.

Now Cen Ji is no longer the bullied boy he used to be. When she first came, she thought she could change Cen Ji's ending.

But he didn't expect that he not only became a demon, but also became the lord of the demon realm.

Looking at the man in front of her, she couldn't even remember what he looked like lying on the ground covered with scars.

Fortunately, she stopped the loss in time and did not follow the original owner's old path, otherwise she would not be able to defeat the current Cen Ji.
