Chapter 197 - The Truth Behind The Soul Swapping (2/2)
Everyone let out a sigh. Perhaps Bai Qiao herself had had her suspicions about the matter, but love had blinded her from seeing the truth.
What Xin Han said about taking revenge for his Dao partner simply did not make sense. If he had really loved Yun Xuan, he could not have failed to tell the real Yun Xuan from the fake. He had kept on with the pretense on account of Bai Qiao being the daughter of Emperor Bai Ti.
Xin Han was not heartless because of his practice of the Heartless Dao, the only person he loved was himself. He had chosen to abandon Yun Xuan to achieve immortal ascension, so naturally, he had no qualms abandoning Bai Qiao now!
Lonemoon looked at the devastated Bai Qiao and shook his head. It looked as if he would not get any more answers out of her today. Turning to Xuan Tong and Yu Hong, he instructed, “Take her back. Inform Emperor Bai Ti about this matter and ask him to fetch her back.”
“All right!” Yu Hong answered. With Xuan Tong’s help, she carried Bai Qi out of the room. Qi Chengyu and the other disciples left as well, as did Chen Ge…
Xuan Tong looked back at the man following her. She frowned and said reflexively, “Scram!”
“OK.” Chen Ge turned back and sat down.
Shen Ying: “…”
Yi Qing: “…”
Lonemoon: “…”
What happened to this child? Even the script had changed. The female lead was supposed to have a one-sided crush on the male lead, but now the roles seem to have reversed. And wasn’t Chen Ge supposed to be trying to save his disciple? Why was he following her instead?
“Er… It looks like we can’t take the risk of Xuan Tong and Bai Qiao swapping their souls back?” Lone coughed awkwardly and stole a look at Chen Ge. The changes to the plot was getting too weird for him. They could not simply beat the two girls up to damage their primordial spirits just for the sake of swapping their souls back. They could only wait for Bai Ti to come and let the guardians of the girls decide on the matter. “But at least this problem has a solution.”
“What solution?” Shen Ying asked suddenly.
“What do you mean?”
“That Sin fellow…”
“It’s Xin, Xin Han!” Lonemoon’s mouth twitched in exasperation. You can’t change a person’s name at will!
“Yes, that’s right. If he was the one who masterminded the soul swapping affair, don’t you think it’s strange that he abducted Green Tea (Hui Ling)?”
Everyone stood up in shock. Shen Ying was right. If he were truly the mastermind, then being the heartless man that he was, why would he swap Hui Ling’s soul into Bai Qiao’s body? He was already a celestial emperor; he had no reason to risk offending Bai Ti.
“Master! Xuan Tong told us that the aura inside the tunnel was very strange.” Yi Qing suddenly recalled. “Do you know what it was?”
“Demonic Qi!” Before Shen Ying could answer, Chen Ge finally came out from his reverie and cut in, “There was demonic Qi inside the tunnel!”
Lonemoon: “…”
Yi Qing: “…”
The crowd: “…”
