Chapter 768 – Kill A Person
Lingyu froze.
“Then I won’t ask.” Chang Sheng said, “Since you don’t want to say anything, I won’t ask anything, okay?”
Lingyu was startled by the sudden hug. He didn’t dare to move and just let Chang Sheng hug his motionless body. After a while, he asked, “Shixiong, why are you hugging me?”
“There are some matters that need to be said like this,” Chang Sheng whispered.
“What matters?” Lingyu asked.
“There were some matters I didn’t understand before, but sometimes, it’s possible to suddenly receive a flash of inspiration and thoroughly understand the matter.” Chang Sheng seemed to be both sighing and smiling. “You asked me before if I can be together with you and become Dao companions with you.”
Lingyu suddenly became nervous and whispered, “I... I did say that, but Shixiong didn’t want to respond, so I didn’t dare to say it anymore.”
“Now, Shixiong has finished thinking about it.” Chang Sheng whispered softly into his ear, “In the future, after everything is over — when the threat of evil Qi cultivators become small and the Nine Lands return to peace and tranquility, and when people can sleep peacefully at night without having to worry about whether they’ll die in battle tomorrow. At that time, if you still like me, we’ll find a place with beautiful mountains and rivers and live in seclusion from the world, okay?”
Lingyu opened his mouth and found his voice after a long pause, “Only... only you and me?”
Chang Sheng answered, “Yes, only the two of us. Everyone else is extraneous.”
Lingyu’s breathing suddenly quickened. He grabbed Chang Sheng’s hand. “Shixiong, did your words mean what I think they meant? I’m not imagining this or thinking too much into this, right?”
Chang Sheng kissed the top of his hair. “It’s what you think it means.”
Lingyu’s eyes teared up.
He didn’t know why he suddenly felt very wronged, but he didn’t dare to let Chang Sheng see it, so he said, “You, you can go first. I’ll think it over. My heart’s been in a mess recently. I have to carefully think about a lot of things.”
Chang Sheng said, “Okay. Whatever Little Yu says.”
So, after Chang Sheng comforted Lingyu, he left.
Yan Tianhen said angrily, “You left just like that — you didn’t even stay for a little longer. I didn’t even give an answer yet, but you left.”
Lin Xuanzhi swept a glance at him. “I thought you were shy and needed space to calm your mood.”
Yan Tianhen: “...”
“No wait!” Yan Tianhen cried out, “Why don’t I have this memory? I don’t remember you saying these words at all!”
“I said them.”
“You didn’t.”
Lin Xuanzhi said, “Everything that happened inside this array world is history and has actually occurred during Spirit Sect’s era.”
Yan Tianhen: “&#k2026;”
After Chang Sheng left, Lingyu squatted in the room for a long time. Then he suddenly realized that he had abandoned himself to despair too much. He was definitely not worthy of Chang Sheng like this. He immediately jumped up and cleaned himself up in front of the mirror.
He had to clean himself up so that he wouldn’t make Chang Sheng lose face when he went out. Moreover, he couldn’t continue feeling remorseful anymore. Although he was an evil Qi cultivator, he could still subdue demons and monsters and help Chang Sheng.
With Lingyu’s help, there would likely be more hope in killing all the evil spirits, and he and Chang Sheng would be able to retire to the mountains and forests earlier.
Lingyu was so excited that he seemed to be in a trance all day. He never dreamed that the person he had been thinking about for many years would reciprocate his feelings and also confess to him.
To think that his dream would actually come true. On that day, Lingyu gently rubbed his eyelids and was in a great mood. After cleaning up, he planned to continue to look for Chang Sheng and talk.
Lingyu had just gone out the door when he ran into Cangdi Fenglang. When he saw this fellow who had hurt him so miserably, his expression naturally didn’t look good. His face darkened immediately, and he planned to ignore Cangdi Fenglang.
Inside Spirit Sect, Shixiong and Master didn’t have any idea about Cangdi Fenglang’s true identity. Naturally, he wouldn’t do anything to this boy either, so as to avoid being blamed.
But Cangdi Fenglang had no self-awareness at all. Not only did he not avoid Lingyu, he even caught up to Lingyu, blocking his way to greet him.
Cangdi Fenglang smiled and showed a pair of little tiger teeth.
“Shixiong, I’m back.” Cangdi Fenglang said, “I also brought you a lot of good things. I found them all outside. You’re definitely going to like them.”
Lingyu just swept a cold glance at him. “I can’t afford to receive those things. Keep them for yourself.”
Cangdi Fenglang was stunned. “Don’t do that. What did I do wrong? Just tell me; I’ll change it.”
Lingyu wanted to say, ‘You can’t change it. I’ll never treat you kindly again in my life.’ But he didn’t in the end.
Lingyu was just about to leave when he suddenly thought of something and said to Cangdi Fenglang, “Will you still go down the mountain with Chang Sheng next time?”
Cangdi Fenglang nodded. “Yeah, we’re going to the West Land.”
Lingyu said, “You’re not allowed to go. From now on, stay away from Chang Sheng. Get as far away as you can from him. Don’t pester him anymore.”
Cangdi Fenglang looked somewhat hurt. “But why? I get along pretty well with Shixiong, and I haven’t offended Shixiong either.”
“Didn’t you want me to tell you what’s wrong with you, and you’ll change it?” Lingyu tutted. “Stay away from Chang Sheng — that’s what you need to change the most. He already has a family now, so it’s different from before. I won’t pursue any past events, but if you still pester Shixiong in the future, my fist won’t be polite.”
“What do you mean?” Cangdi Fenglang frowned blankly. “I never pestered Eldest Shixiong. I only admire him and hold no other feelings for him. The one I like is not him.”
Lingyu hissed to express his disbelief and disdain.
“Anyhow, I’ve said everything I wanted to say. You can decide what to do.” Lingyu wanted to leave after that.
He didn’t see it.
Cangdi Fenglang, who was standing behind him, suddenly changed his expression. His pair of eyes were covered with a cold purple glint. He resembled a fierce ghost that climbed out of hell.
His mind was also a little befuddled. His body swayed from side to side as he took two steps forward, looking shaky. Then, Cangdi Fenglang rushed up to Lingyu from behind like a puppet controlled by strings and squeezed Lingyu’s neck with a forceful grip.
He said through gnashed teeth, “You’re mine, mine! I want you to forget him, completely and utterly forget that man. You’re mine!”
Yan Tianhen was dumbfounded as he watched with wide eyes. He even felt that this seemed a little exaggerated.
Lin Xuanzhi’s expression, however, was gloomy. “Unexpectedly, this boy actually likes you. I thought he was just a masochist before. You treated him so badly, yet he still insisted on following you around, running after you everywhere. Who would’ve thought that there was this layer to his actions?”
Yan Tianhen blinked a few times. “I didn’t know either. I always thought he liked you.”
Lin Xuanzhi asked, “Where can you see that?”
Yan Tianhen said, “You can see that from many matters. Besides, you’re so good. Who doesn’t like you ah?”
Lin Xuanzhi became happy. “I like hearing that.”
Yan Tianhen also smiled.
But in reality, neither of them could actually smile in this situation. Their mood was heavy, uneasy, and indescribably complex
To think that the truth would be so cruel.
A portion of Lingyu’s memories were erased, which just happened to include the part where Chang Sheng confessed to him. Lingyu, who lost his emotional support and was also injured, became more stubborn and irritable in temperament. He forgot why he would leave his shell and anxiously ran back inside his room again.
Cangdi Fenglang stood in front of a pool of blood and patted his head. It took him a long time to come back to himself.
When he saw the pool of blood, he became frightened and jumped back, glancing around for a while. When he didn’t find any casualties, he sighed and dragged his feet away in dejection.
As he walked, he mumbled, “Eldest Shixiong actually made a move so quickly — can you still leave me some room please? I also like Lingyu Shixiong, okay? Ah, forget it, forget it. He doesn’t want his Shidi anymore now that he has Shixiong. Living ain’t easy ah.”
Yan Tianhen: “...”
Lin Xuanzhi: “...”
I didn’t think you’d actually be this kind of Cangdi Fenglang.
Yan Tianhen said, “Dage, did you notice? He can’t remember what he did to Lingyu at all.”
Lin Xuanzhi nodded. “The person controlling him is exerting greater and greater control over him.”
Yan Tianhen was silent for a moment, then said, “If so, then I more or less understand why Master asked me to kill Fenglang, yet insisted on keeping this matter a secret.”
Only Lingyu — who was also an evil Qi cultivator — would be able to absorb and use all the evil Qi in Cangdi Fenglang’s body. What’s more, Dao Zu had already tried fighting him and discovered that he was no match for Cangdi Fenglang when he was in the evil Qi cultivator personality.
And the reason why he kept it a secret was simply due to the fact that Cangdi Fenglang did nothing wrong. From beginning to end, the terrible and desperate killings imposed upon him weren’t what he wanted at all. He was innocent. The person who did all those things wasn’t Cangdi Fenglang at all.
Thus, if Cangdi Fenglang must die, then simultaneously, his good reputation must also be preserved.
Dao Zu tried many methods, such as locking Fenglang by his side and watching him day and night. But he soon found that Cangdi Fenglang could release another copy of himself anytime and anywhere. No matter how powerful the array, Cangdi Fenglang could break it without any effort.
After two more tragic massacres occurred, Dao Zu finally couldn’t stand it anymore.
Sheng Ren came to find him. “Someone has already seen Fenglang’s face. Before long, many people will rush to Spirit Sect and ask you to hand over Fenglang. If people find out that he’s an evil Qi cultivator and has committed so many massacres, then Spirit Sect will lose its status. Not only that, but the hearts of people in the Nine Lands will be shaken.”
Dao Zu used great effort to keep himself from crying out bitterly. He remained silent for seven days and seven nights and, with much difficulty, finally made the decision that he hated himself the most for.
He found Lingyu, who had been hiding in his room for a long time, and said to him, “I know Cangdi Fenglang was the one who attacked you.”
Lingyu was stunned. He hugged his legs to himself and looked up at Dao Zu.
Dao Zu rubbed his head. “I also know that you’re an evil Qi cultivator now.”
Lingyu squeezed his trouser legs in a panic.
Dao Zu said, “Don’t be afraid; this matter is only between us and Heaven. Complete a mission for me. This mission is very hard, but you must do it. Go and kill a person.”
