Chapter 744 So Stupid
By the time Feng Tianyu returned, everything had already been settled.
Jiang Lin brought the person to Feng Tianyu unharmed and immediately tried to slip away, but Ye Wanxi stopped him.
"Fourth Senior Brother, don't go yet, I have something to ask you."
"What?"
Ye Wanxi didn't explain immediately: "I also made an appointment with a few other senior brothers. We'll talk about it when they arrive."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Lin subconsciously exchanged a glance with Feng Tianyu, sensing that something was amiss.
However, Ye Wanxi rarely changes her mind once she makes a decision, especially when it comes to serious matters.
Half an hour later, Xiang Yueqi and the others rushed over and were all stunned when they saw the three of them.
Qi Yingxuan was the most straightforward. He covered his nose, took two steps back, and said with a look of disgust, "What did you guys do? Why do you all smell so... bad?"
The stench he was referring to wasn't a literal smell, but rather that they all seemed to be covered in something unclean, clearly indicating they had recently been in contact with something unpleasant.
Ye Wanxi didn't say anything, but sat down opposite them, as if to say, "You're all surrounded by me." She asked, "I called you here today to ask you something."
"What's up?"
"Uncle-Master Wu."
Upon hearing those three words, everyone's expression momentarily became unnatural, though they quickly returned to normal, Ye Wanxi still noticed it.
Ye Wanxi narrowed her eyes, her gaze sweeping over each of them: "It seems you all know."
Qi Yingxuan chuckled sheepishly a few times, then broke the silence by speaking up: "What do you know? What happened to Uncle-Master Wu? Why did you suddenly bring him up, Junior Sister?"
"Because I recently met a young man who looks about 70-80% like Uncle Wu."
"What?!" Qi Yingxuan exclaimed in surprise. After realizing that he had overreacted, he quickly covered his mouth and silently endured the glares from his senior brothers.
Ye Wanxi raised an eyebrow at him: "Fifth Senior Brother, you seem quite surprised by this?"
Qi Yingxuan broke out in a cold sweat and said dryly, "I am a little surprised. I didn't expect that my uncle, who seems like a very proper and abstinent person, would have descendants."
"Descendants?" Ye Wanxi immediately grasped the key point. "How do you know this person is a descendant of Uncle Wu, and not Uncle Wu himself? After all, we can all be reincarnated and appear here, so it's not surprising that there's another Uncle Wu."
Qi Yingxuan's lips twitched slightly. He thought to himself, "Everyone else might be able to, but I'm not. Someone who was beaten to the point of having his soul scattered and whose corpse was supposedly burned to ashes on the spot, let alone being reincarnated, would be a loser if he could even leave behind a soul or two!"
“Uncle Wu… he ascended to heaven, yes, he ascended to heaven, so it’s impossible for him to be reincarnated like us. That person definitely can’t be him.”
"Ascension?" Ye Wanxi stared intently into Qi Yingxuan's eyes, but she couldn't quite believe it.
"Really?" Ye Wanxi's gaze swept over the others again.
Xiang Yueqi and the others were stunned for a moment, then quickly nodded in agreement.
Bang--
Ye Wanxi slammed her hand on the table, startling everyone.
"Oh, you guys! You've even teamed up to lie to me. Tell me the truth!"
Qi Yingxuan was startled and muttered softly, "That's the truth."
Ye Wanxi sneered, "Fifth Senior Brother, don't you know that your eyes always dart around unconsciously when you lie?"
"I didn't!" Qi Yingxuan suddenly looked up, appearing fierce on the outside but guilty on the inside.
The atmosphere in the room suddenly froze. Jun Wuduan glanced at the person who had almost confessed without being asked, his face full of disgust: "So stupid."
Xiang Yueqi sighed deeply, looking utterly hopeless.
Jiang Lin glanced at him coldly and uttered two words: "Idiot."
Whoosh whoosh whoosh—Qi Yingxuan felt as if several arrows had pierced his heart. He was somewhat resentful but helpless.
Ignoring the personal attacks on Qi Yingxuan by his fellow disciples, Ye Wanxi snorted coldly and brought the topic back to the main point: "What exactly happened?"
Xiang Yueqi and the others exchanged glances, then turned to look at Feng Tianyu in unison.
Seeing that he remained silent, seemingly agreeing, Xiang Yueqi sighed softly and said helplessly, "Fine, since you want to know, there's no point in hiding it anymore."
Ye Wanxi's ears perked up immediately.
"Do you still remember the Demon Realm's massive invasion in your past life, where they wantonly slaughtered innocent mortals and ultimately used millions of souls to set up the Immortal Slaughtering Formation, intending to wipe out all righteous people in one fell swoop?"
Ye Wanxi's heart skipped a beat. The old story was brought up again, and she couldn't help but feel a little dazed. She composed herself and said, "Of course I remember."
Xiang Yueqi glanced at Feng Tianyu secretly and continued, "That day, you sacrificed yourself to break the Immortal Slaughtering Formation. You gave the righteous path a chance to survive. Your senior uncles, senior brothers, and even your master led the disciples to drive back those demons and demon races, completely driving them back to the Demon Realm, and placing a seal on the road from the Demon Realm to the human world."
They did want to completely wipe out these scumbags who killed their junior sister, but how easy was that?
As long as people have desires and evil thoughts, they may develop inner demons. One thought can make someone a god or a demon, just as there is shadow where there is light, and black where there is white. These things cannot be killed or destroyed. We can only block their outlets and prevent them from easily coming out to harm people.
As Xiang Yueqi said this, she secretly glanced at Feng Tianyu again: "During that time, Senior Brother was like a completely different person. He wasn't satisfied with just sealing the Demon Realm; he still longed to avenge you."
Ye Wanxi was stunned and couldn't help but glance at him.
"And what happened next?"
"Later..." Xiang Yueqi pursed his lips, "It turned out that the seal couldn't completely prevent such things from happening. There were still some powerful demons who secretly bypassed the seal using other methods and escaped to harm people. Whenever my senior brother heard about it, he would rush over and kill them. Until one time..."
Ye Wanxi's heart jumped: "What?"
"Once, my senior brother heard that a village in the south was ravaged by demons, with many dead and injured. So he went there alone, but unexpectedly fell into a trap carefully set by the demons."
Ye Wanxi couldn't sit still any longer: "Is that so? Are you injured? How serious is it?"
The gloom and coldness on Feng Tianyu's face faded slightly because of Ye Wanxi's words: "I'm fine."
Ye Wanxi wasn't going to let him fool her like that: "So, are you injured?"
Feng Tianyu remained silent for a moment, then gave a vague answer: "It's not serious."
"Not serious? That means you're still injured, right?"
Feng Tianyu remained silent.
Ye Wanxi's eyes suddenly reddened, and the others panicked upon seeing this.
"Junior Sister, don't cry! Senior Brother is perfectly fine, isn't he? He's really alright."
“Junior Sister, if you don’t trust others, don’t you trust Senior Brother? He’s the most outstanding disciple in our sect, a genius even Master, who is so self-important, acknowledges.”
