Chapter 171 – Water Monster! (1/2)

Chapter 171: Water monster!

Lin Canghai turned and walked away, but not far away.

He was still staring intently from a neither far nor close place, worried that Li Muyang would suddenly attack Qiandu. This is a common scene in a movie. In order to conceal a secret, some people will not hesitate to kill everyone who knew of their secret.

Because this is the best way of hiding a secret.

Unaware, Qiandu walked straight over to Li Muyang's side, step to the edge of the cliff, trying to peer into the endless abyss and the wisps of mist swirling underfoot, and leaving her lean back facing Li Muyang, as though she's not at all afraid of a fatal blow from him. Her voice was crisp and sweet, as she said in a slight rebuking tone: “Canghai is a very proud fellow.”

“I know.” Li Muyang nodded. Someone who could easily block the Chu Xun's sword attack, how would he not have a little temper?

“So it's hard for him to accept the way you speak.” Qiandu turned round take a glimpse at Li Muyang and gave a charming smile. “Li Muyang, you don't trust anyone, right?”

Li Muyang remained silent.

Not that he's not willing to believe in anybody, but he does not dare to believe anybody.

He was a dragon. He was the target that everyone in the entire divine continent wants to slaughter——Because of some inexplicable hatred, but more because they wish to become a dragon hero.

Whatever the reason, as long as his ident.i.ty is leaked, he instantly would become the target of countless hunters.

With his current level of cultivation, he had no power to protect himself at all.

He can choose to believe in Qiandu and Lin Canghai, but what if they betrayed his trust?

“You're very dangerous. This, do you admit it?” Qiandu turned around again to take another glimpse at Li Muyang, but this time she didn't turned back around. Her eyes, as bright as the stars overhead, stared unblinkingly into Li Muyang's eyes and paid particular attention to the changes in his facial expression. “Although I don't know who you are, but you underwent some very frightening changes. Most importantly, these changes were not under your control. You couldn't control your body, you couldn't control your thoughts.”

“I'm still Li Muyang.” Li Muyang voice was deep, filled with distress. “No matter what happens, I am still Li Muyang. I don't have any intention to hurt you two, I think of both of you as my friend.”

“Since you take us as your friend, yet you did not hesitate to use Teacher Xiahou to threaten us——it seems the secret that you want to hide must be very painful, right?”

“——” Li Muyang knew that Qiandu is an intelligent girl and won't be deceived so easily.

“You're not really a demon, right?” Qiandu asked aloud.

“I'm not.” Li Muyang anxiously replied, looking seriously at Qiandu. “I'm not a demon. How would I be a demon? If I was a demon, I wouldn't have been able to study here at Starry Sky Academy—— ”

“Then, what's the situation? Don't deceive me with such an idiot excuse like being possessed by a demon when practicing——” Qiandu said sternly. “The fact that you attacked Teacher Xiahou during his lecture, has aroused the attention of all the teachers and students of the school. But Teacher Xiahou personally stood out to explain for you, told everyone that you were practicing a high-level technique, which led you to do such a thing. Given the reputation and respect a famous teacher of Starry Sky, some students believed him——but I don't believe it.”

“Indeed the truth is not like that.” Li Muyang said severely. “The reason I acted like that in cla.s.s was not because I was practicing some techniques or possessed by a demon. But for other reasons——I'm sorry, I can't tell you what it is. However, even Teacher Xiahou was willing to forgive me and took the initiative to stand out to help me explain, that's enough to prove I'm not a bad person. I'm still a student of Starry Sky Academy, I will never tarnish Starry Sky Academy's name.”

“What to do?” Qiandu's lips curved into a shallow, slow smile, saying: “I clearly know that you're very dangerous and there's a possibility that a demon is hiding inside your body, but I still can't help but want to forgive you.”

“Qiandu——”

“Li Muyang.” The smile on Qiandu's face faded, she stretched out her hand to Li Muyang, “Do you want to try and believe in others?”

“What?”

“Believe me, and also believe Canghai. Like you just said, treat us as your friends, real friends, friends that can keep your secrets.” Qiandu's hand was still waving in mid-air, her eyes earnest and resolute. “To carry a secret like that by yourself, life must be very difficult and painful. If you like, you can tell us the secret. We can help you carry your burden with you. If you don't want to, then choose to believe, believe that we will never tell anyone this secret, unless with your consent——”

“Why?”
