She stood up, glanced at Gong Mingyue in the ice coffin, then looked around. Her inner demon? What was she most afraid of now? The thought of Gong Mingyue dying tore at her heart like a knife! She knew in her heart that he was her inner demon!
With a determined heart, Ji Jiuying leaped away from the Xuanjing Ice Coffin, gripping the Illusion Demon Sword tightly in her hand and continuously channeling spiritual energy. She knew that if she couldn't get past this hurdle, she would never be able to enter another realm of mind.
Just as she was about to strike the ice coffin, Gong Mingyue appeared outside the ice coffin, gazing at her with doting eyes.
"Ah Yue~"
Ji Jiuying's eyes reddened, and her voice trembled.
"Xiao Jiu, come here!" Gong Mingyue reached out his hand to Ji Jiuying, his eyes full of love!
The spiritual power that Ji Jiuying had gathered in her hand vanished instantly. Her feet moved forward involuntarily. Looking at the man in front of her who looked exactly like Gong Mingyue, she hesitated. She admitted that she couldn't bring herself to do it!
In a daze, two voices appeared in my mind!
"He's the man you love most, are you really willing to kill him?"
"No, he's not, he's a fake! You absolutely mustn't listen to her!"
"He is the real one. You'll regret killing him for the rest of your life!"
"You'll regret it for the rest of your life if you believe her!"
"He's right in front of you, why are you still hesitating? Is all your love for him fake?"
"Don't believe her, she's a fake. The real Gong Mingyue is still waiting for you in the Boundless Sea..."
"Believe me, this is the Infernal Sea!"
"······"
Ji Jiuying suddenly snapped out of her daze, almost being deceived. She leaped a few steps away from Gong Mingyue in front of her. She was currently in the cultivation tower, how could she possibly be in the Boundless Sea? Yes, the real Gong Mingyue was waiting for her to rescue him in the Boundless Sea.
"Little Jiu'er, don't you love me anymore?" Gong Mingyue said sadly.
Ji Jiuying gathered spiritual energy in her hand again and swung it fiercely, shouting, "You! Are not him!"
Thud—
With a loud bang, the ice coffin and Gong Mingyue disappeared. Darkness fell before their eyes, and the vast mist vanished, replaced by a lush green forest.
The lights on the fifth floor of the cultivation tower went out, and the green lights on the sixth floor lit up. Shen Qingqiu, Feng Che, and the others breathed a sigh of relief. Shen Miaoqing couldn't wait to go back and tell Wen Longting and the others, but Qingling was still unconscious.
Two more days have passed.
Feng Che and Yu Bugui sat in the main hall, neither of them uttering a word! The surrounding air seemed to be filled with two opposing currents, vying for dominance!
"It's truly unexpected that the God Venerable Guixu, who disappeared hundreds of years ago, would become the dean of a lower-dimensional continent," Feng Che said first.
Yu Bugui downed the wine in his cup in one gulp. "Returning to the Void Divine Venerable!" Heh! He had almost forgotten how many years it had been since anyone had called him that!
"I never thought anyone would still remember this deity! Truly, the renowned Second Master Feng of Sifang City lives up to his name."
Feng Che wasn't surprised that he recognized him, after all, he had been traveling around all these years, and he was also one of the top three master-level weapon refiners in the Tianyu Continent!
Feng Che lowered his eyes. Was it a coincidence that he took Xiao Jiu as his disciple, or was there another purpose?
Yu Bugui toyed with the wine cup in his hand. What was he, the second-in-command of the Feng family, doing in this lowly continent? And why was he staying by his disciple's side every day? What was his intention?
The two of them, though only four eyes, were filled with countless schemes! They were both on guard against each other.
"I don't care..."
The two spoke at the same time, and Yu Bugui and Feng Che were both stunned, an awkward atmosphere spreading between them.
"Your Majesty, you speak first!" Feng Che interrupted the strange aura.
"Xiao Jiu is my only disciple. I don't care what your purpose is in getting close to Xiao Jiu, but if you hurt her, I will not let you go even if it means becoming an enemy of the entire Sifang City!" Yu Bugui said sharply, his serious appearance completely different from his usual roguish demeanor.
“Xiao Jiu is my own niece, so naturally I wouldn’t harm her in the slightest. But you, was it a coincidence or did you have other motives in taking her as your disciple?” Feng Che chuckled.
As soon as he finished speaking, Yu Bugui stared at Feng Che in astonishment. He was actually his disciple's maternal uncle? How could Xiao Jiu be in this Cangming Continent... Feng Lan? Feng Che? Could it be that her deceased mother was the eldest daughter of the Feng family in Sifang City who had been missing for over ten years!
Yu Bugui finally understood why she had said earlier that people from the Holy Domain Continent had come to cause her trouble!
Thinking that Miss Feng had run away because of the Feng family's ancestral precepts, Yu Bugui exuded a dangerous aura. "You're her maternal uncle? Heh~ I'm sure Second Master Feng knows why you're staying by her side. I'm warning you, if you dare to take her back to Sifang City, I will definitely slaughter every last one of them!"
As Yu Bugui's oppressive aura descended, Feng Che naturally understood the meaning behind his words. Fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, and he forcibly suppressed the metallic taste in his throat. Hehehe, truly worthy of being a god-level being who has cultivated for thousands of years! As long as he has no other motives, it's not bad for Xiao Jiu to have him as a god-level being as her backer!
“Your Majesty, although I am also a member of the Feng family, I am different from them. The Feng family’s ancestral precepts have been passed down for thousands of years and are not something I can change! It was precisely because I was powerless to help my little sister that I chose to travel abroad!”
"Although I claimed to be traveling, I was always keeping an eye on the Feng family and everything about my little sister. It wasn't until recently, when the Feng family triggered the tracing array, that I learned my little sister had given birth to a baby girl. I then followed the Feng family to search for her, and fortunately, I found her before they did. I was by Xiao Jiu's side to protect her, not wanting her to follow in my little sister's footsteps."
“My third brother, Feng Luo, has already arrived on this continent, and now it’s very likely that her identity has been exposed because of the Blazing Sun Bow. If she is discovered by the other members of the Feng family, we’ll be in big trouble!”
Feng Che said with a hint of helplessness.
Yu Bugui stared intently at Feng Che, remaining silent, seemingly still weighing the credibility of his words!
From the day she gave him the Sunbow, she must have suspected his identity. Later, when the seal on the Sunbow was broken, she must have already found the answer in her heart. However, she did not pry into the matter. She knew when to advance and retreat and was tactful. This was also what impressed him the most about this girl!
Xiao Jiu is a very shrewd girl. She wouldn't let someone stay by her side for no reason. So there's only one possibility: she trusts him!
"Since we share the same goal—protecting her—let's continue as before and not interfere with each other! As for the divine artifact, the Blazing Sun Bow, as long as she doesn't leave the academy, no one can do anything to her. If she wants to leave, we can just fight her!" Yu Bugui said domineeringly.
Feng Che nodded, wanting to say something more, but then heard footsteps at the door, so he didn't speak again.
"Old Yu, something terrible has happened!"
