646 The Most Exciting Time (2/2)

Ye Hongyu looked at him quietly and kept silent.

Ning Que said again, ”The Underworld Invasion will definitely be a sight to behold. Countless years have passed and only our generation will have the chance to witness it. Everlasting night will befall the world, do you not want to see that?”

Ye Hongyu said, ”I want to see it but I cannot go against Haotian's will.”

Ning Que said, ”Please, you have never even heard Haotian speak before. For all you know, he might be lonely for tens of thousands of years in heaven and have always waited for Yama to come here and to have a good fight. If you kill me and Sangsang, Yama will never find the world and Haotian will die lonely, suffering bitterly.

He knew the woman in the pond was very scary.

The scariest part was that he was the same kind of person as her. However, Ye Hongyu's cultivation state had always suppressed his. In other words, Ning Que could only struggle with her but had no way of beating her.

He would rather fight 3 rounds with Master Qi Mei or even another time with the Chief Preaching Monk than to fight against her. Hence, he had been trying to convince her to let him and Sangsang go.”

The two of them ended their discussion quickly, almost as if they didn't think it through. In actual fact, he had used a lot of effort and it was one of the most complex and exciting persuasions in his life. Twice, Ye Hongyu's expression had changed obviously and was nearly persuaded by him.

However, it didn't succeed in the end.

Ye Hongyu walked towards the bank as the water droplets rolled down from her body.

”Since you are sure to not let Yama find the world, all the more reason you can't kill Sangsang.”

Ning Que stared at her naked figure. His eyes were bright and there were no signs of frustrations as he continued saying, ”Teacher said if anything happened to Sangsang, the imprint in her body will be released and Yama will know where the world is.”

Ye Hongyu gently wiped her body, she didn't turn around and said directly, ”Headmaster wouldn't say that.”

Ning Que said, ”These are the words that Teacher had asked Eldest Brother to pass on to the Chief Preaching Monk.”

Ye Hongyu started wearing her clothes. Usually, beautiful ladies looked shabby while putting on their clothes but when it came to her, it still seemed incredibly pleasing. ”If that is what the Headmaster thinks, he would have taken you and Sangsang back to the Academy or even to the edge of the skies a long time ago. Why would he still need Mr. First to run around tiringly?”

Ning Que had no idea that after leaving Chaoyang City, Eldest Brother and the Chief Preaching Monk from Xuankong Temple had a similar conversation in White Tower Temple. The Chief Preaching Monk's view was exactly the same as Ye Hongyu.

Hearing Ye Hongyu's deduction now, his body trembled involuntarily. He had always assumed this was teacher's view and Sangsang's last hope.

The blood-red robes that were spotted with mud returned on Ye Hongyu's body. The heavy divine crown slowly landed and the beautiful teenage girl playing around in the pond immediately became the terrifying Great Divine Priest of Justice.

The black crows at the top of the horse carriage started cawing, it was sounded bad and unlucky.

Ning Que's face turned ugly as he shouted, ”Shut up.”

The black crows quietened immediately but continued again.

Ning Que laughed to himself and shook his head. He ignored them as he hugged Sangsang tighter. Looking at the thick dark clouds in the skies, a tinge of sadness showed on his face.

This sadness was faint but very real. It definitely wasn't faked.

Ye Hongyu looked silently at the opposite bank, feeling his true fatigue, sadness, and frustration. She could subconsciously sympathize with him as she looks up at the dark clouds.

However, just as she lifted her head, she suddenly felt something was amiss.

It wasn't a warning.

Her Taoist Heart didn't give out any warnings, that meant everything was as usual.

However, there still was something wrong.

She suddenly remembered that Ning Que was someone who would get sad but not before a battle. This was because any extra emotions weren't helpful to a battle and he should understand that.

The most important thing was that self-depreciating smile.

Even if he had gone through too much the past two years and could feel for and was hard to suppress his feelings, he shouldn't laugh at himself. This was because a mocking laugh and sadness together meant that he was going to give up.

Ye Hongyu believed that she wouldn't be depressed no matter what happened. No matter how strong the enemy was, she wouldn't give up before the battle ended. That meant that he wouldn't too.

This was where things felt wrong.

Ye Hongyu looked back.

Her gaze landed on the opposite bank.

There was an extra metal bow in his hands that were empty previously.

The bowstring was already tight and was rapidly loosening.

The darkish iron arrow had just left the bow and the white rapids at the tail end were forming.

Behind the metal bow, Ning Que's calm expression seemed exceptionally cold.

Ye Hongyu knew that death was approaching and perhaps, even destined.

Now, she truly understood that everything that Ning Que was doing wasn't his most complex persuasion or the one who put in the most effort in...

It was the most complicated, mind-consuming and exciting arrow in his life.
