Chapter 668 Attempting to Cover Up the Truth
After hesitating for a moment, Ye Wanxi decided to answer truthfully.
"No."
The light in Feng Tianyu's eyes vanished instantly: "Oh..."
Ye Wanxi's heart tightened, and she hurriedly said, "None of the other senior brothers either."
“Oh…” Feng Tianyu lowered his head slightly and silently shut himself in.
It doesn't matter whether other people are around; what matters is that I'm not.
Ye Wanxi understood immediately, and became even more dumbfounded.
"In my illusion, there is my master, and many familiar senior brothers and sisters..."
"Oh..." So many people, but he's not among them!
Feng Tianyu's jealousy has been completely overturned.
"The reason why you and the other senior brothers are not here is because you are still here, while most of them are no longer here."
This includes Senior Sister Yunke, who has been reincarnated but has no memory of her past life.
Feng Tianyu was stunned, not expecting this reason. His eyes flickered slightly as he secretly recalled what he had seen in the illusion.
"It is precisely because you are all gone that I am certain that this illusion must be constructed in accordance with people's wishes, based on the deepest desires of those who enter the scene. Just like me, my biggest regret is that I left too early and was unable to say goodbye to everyone in person, or see you all one last time."
As soon as Ye Wanxi finished speaking, Feng Tianyu hugged her.
"Senior Brother?"
"So, you met your master."
"Um."
Did you say anything to him?
Ye Wanxi nestled in Feng Tianyu's arms and slowly closed her eyes: "I gave him a gift for his seventieth birthday. I had prepared it for a long time, but unfortunately, I hadn't been able to give it to him. This time, I did. And then I told him..."
"What?"
“I love him so much. I have always regarded him as my closest elder. In my eyes, he is not only my mentor, but also my father.”
Feng Tianyu's heart stirred slightly, and he couldn't help but hug her even tighter: "I know."
Ye Wanxi's eyes stung slightly, and the corners of her eyes were a little moist: "Even though I know it's fake, I still really hope he can hear these words."
“Yes, he will.” Feng Tianyu paused, then added, “He has always known.”
"Hmm." Ye Wanxi nestled in Feng Tianyu's arms for a moment to calm down, then suddenly looked up at Feng Tianyu, "Senior brother, what about you? What did you see inside?"
Feng Tianyu stiffened, his eyes flickering as he said, "It's nothing."
"Nothing?" If there's nothing, why would you appear before me with such a murderous aura, and almost fall into demonic possession?
Ye Wanxi clearly didn't believe her. After a moment of silence, she tentatively asked, "Am I in your illusion?"
Feng Tianyu remained silent for a long while before finally saying, "Yes."
Ye Wanxi frowned. If she was there, then why was her senior brother still...? Could it be...?
"Am I...dead?"
Feng Tianyu's face instantly darkened: "That's not you."
"It really is!" Ye Wanxi was startled and hurriedly said, "Yes, yes, it's all fake. I'm standing right in front of you, perfectly fine!"
When Ye Wanxi learned that she had appeared in the illusionary realm of the Sealed Heaven Domain and had even "died" once, she subconsciously assumed that her senior brother had encountered the same thing as in his previous life and had watched her die for her cause.
Little did she know that what Feng Tianyu encountered was completely different from what she had imagined.
Feng Tianyu sensed something was wrong as soon as he was dragged into the illusion. In the illusion, he witnessed his junior sister's coming-of-age ceremony, successfully confessed his feelings to her, and then... the two got married.
On their wedding day, he finally confirmed her identity and killed her with his own hands.
The bright red wedding dress was scattered on the ground, and the "junior sister's" phoenix crown had also rolled to the side.
Feng Tianyu could never forget the look in the other person's eyes when they fell to the ground. Even though he knew it was all fake, he still couldn't help but be obsessed when he saw that face, which looked exactly like his junior sister's, completely lifeless.
He killed everyone he could see until he reached Ye Wanxi.
"If... I mean if..."
"What?"
"If one day I really become a demon, will Yuanyuan hate me?" Will she, like those self-proclaimed righteous people, regard him as an outcast and do everything in her power to kill him in order to prove her hatred of evil?
"Of course not. There are no purely good people or purely bad people in this world. Just like there are many scoundrels among the righteous, I believe that those who have fallen into demonic ways are not necessarily all bad people."
Ye Wanxi paused for a moment, then said, "However, I do not wish for you, Senior Brother, to fall into demonic possession."
Before Feng Tianyu could even relax after hearing Ye Wanxi's first few sentences, he was startled by her last one and asked in a hoarse voice, "Why?"
“Those who fall into demonic possession will inevitably have obsessions. If the obsessions are too deep, it is easy to lose oneself. I do not want my senior brother to lose himself, and I do not want you to forget me because of this.”
"I will never forget you." Feng Tianyu thought for a moment and added, "Even if I am reincarnated, I will definitely think of you the moment I see you."
Ye Wanxi was stunned for a moment, then suddenly remembered the first time their paths crossed in this life.
Even though the eldest brother clearly didn't remember her, he didn't push her away when she rushed over to hug him; instead, he indulged her.
Thinking this, Ye Wanxi couldn't help but smile a little.
Ye Wanxi didn't ask any more questions about what happened in the illusion. Instead, she recalled the scene before Feng Tianyu broke through the illusion.
"Speaking of which, when my senior brother found me, I had just... found the array point within the illusion, shattered the mirror with my dagger, and seen the face of the person behind it all..."
Feng Tianyu raised an eyebrow slightly: "You saw his face? What does he look like?"
"He looks to be in his early twenties, with a very pale face, an unnatural kind of pale. Most importantly..." Ye Wanxi paused for a moment before finally stating her thoughts, "I think he looks a bit like... my martial uncle."
Feng Tianyu's expression changed slightly: "Who are you talking about?"
“I think he looks a bit like my martial uncle, Martial Uncle Wu.” Ye Wanxi frowned, looking somewhat troubled. “I can’t quite put my finger on why, but I just have a gut feeling. When I see him, I feel… that Martial Uncle Wu might have looked like this when he was young.”
Ye Wanxi was puzzled by her own idea, completely unaware of Feng Tianyu's face, which was as black as the bottom of a pot.
By the time Ye Wanxi realized something was wrong and looked up at him, Feng Tianyu had already calmed down and his expression was normal.
"You might be mistaken."
"You saw wrong? How could that be... He clearly..." Ye Wanxi stared at him suspiciously, "Senior Brother, are you hiding something from me?"
"You're overthinking it. I just think this person can't possibly be my martial uncle, much less someone related to him."
"Why do you think so?" Ye Wanxi's doubts deepened. She had only mentioned that the other person looked like her martial uncle, without saying that the other person was related to her martial uncle. How could her senior brother...
