Chapter 55: I’m Not That Kind of Person
Mingyan stood at the entrance of Bai Ze’s hall, thinking about what she had said, unable to process it all at once.
If Feng Shiyi was the Great Empress, then who was that person who had appeared before him, exuding the might of a Supreme Dao Emperor?
And about the future…
How could he have so many Dao companions? This was a little hard for Mingyan to understand. He didn’t think he was that kind of person, did he?
How could this be?
And it even included Feiyan… This was too strange. He and Feiyan were just friends.
Mingyan let out a breath. The future… was this really what the future looked like?
Bai Ze knew he was a Human King Physique. Although he didn’t show it, he was actually extremely surprised.
He had never told anyone he didn’t trust about his Human King Physique.
Only the people at Yaochi, the Huang Family, his master and senior sister, and his sister Wang Qingchu knew about it. There was no way Bai Ze could have known.
And after she had stated his origins, he had more or less believed her words…
It was highly likely she had really seen those two futures.
Of course, he couldn’t completely trust her just because she knew his past and had spoken a few truths…
Mingyan was silent for a moment, then used the Yin-Yang Concentric Pendant to contact Yue Wu Xia and told his master what had happened on his trip.
“…” Yue Wu Xia paused for a moment, then said, “When it comes to Great Empress Qingzi, Bai Ze is unlikely to be lying. She’s certainly not foolish enough to fabricate lies about a Supreme Dao Great Emperor. Every time we think of the Empress, she can feel it. As for your future, that I do not know.”
“My senior sister has had similar dreams before. In her dreams, you would… leave us, and my sister, Wang Qingchu, would wither away at my grave. Master, I think the bad ending, the bad future that Bai Ze mentioned, is entirely possible,” Mingyan said. “But the good future she spoke of, that I find a little hard to understand.”
“Because you have many Dao companions?” Yue Wu Xia’s tone was a little subtle.
“I guess so…” Mingyan said. “It doesn’t seem to match the kind of person I thought I was.”
“Do you really know yourself?” Yue Wu Xia said calmly.
“…”
“The matter of the Great Empress is unlikely to be false. In the future where you survive, Feng Shiyi is also your Dao companion. So if Feng Shiyi is indeed the Great Empress, then Bai Ze certainly wouldn’t dare to speak recklessly. Therefore, it might be true. Whether to believe it depends on your own judgment.” Yue Wu Xia’s tone softened slightly. “Besides, the future is not limited to just these two paths. Just keep being true to yourself.”
Mingyan nodded. “Thank you for clearing my doubts, Master. By the way, there’s one more thing I need to tell you. I forgot before. My sister wants to meet you, Master.”
“See me?” Yue Wu Xia’s brow furrowed slightly. “That female senior from Yaochi?”
“Yes. If Master has the time… Hmm, if Master doesn’t want to go, you don’t have to. I’ll explain it to my sister.” Mingyan didn’t want his words to put his master in a difficult position. What if she didn’t want to go?
“No need. I will go to Yaochi.” Yue Wu Xia thought for a moment, then shook her head. “If you encounter any problems, remember to notify me immediately.”
“I know.” Mingyan nodded. He could see his master’s figure, and a faint obsession couldn’t help but appear in the depths of his eyes.
He found that his fascination with his master was growing deeper. But it was precisely because of this that he needed to hide it well. He always felt it wouldn’t be a good thing if his master found out.
The two of them cut off their connection, and Mingyan went to find Huang Feiyan and the others.
Feng Shiyi was, of course, with Huang Feiyan, and Jade Peony was also there.
Seeing Jade Peony’s veiled face, Mingyan felt a strange feeling. Because in that future where he survived, Jade Peony had become his Dao companion…
Mingyan shook his head, throwing the distracting thoughts out of his mind, and looked at Feng Shiyi.
When Feng Shiyi saw him coming, she immediately rushed over, hugged him, and pouted, looking wronged. “Mingyan…”
Thinking back now, the “she” that Feng Shiyi had mentioned countless times, but had never named as Bai Ze, was a bit strange.
The Empress who had briefly appeared might also be the Empress, and the Feng Shiyi before him was very likely also the Empress…
Two Empresses?
On the way over, Mingyan had thought about it carefully and believed it was highly likely that Feng Shiyi was a part of the Empress, separated from her.
Otherwise, it would be difficult to explain how the Empress who had attained the Dao and become an Emperor could be such a crybaby…
From this perspective, it was actually the Empress who had let Feng Shiyi come to him. The “she” that Feng Shiyi spoke of was referring to the Empress.
The Empress let Feng Shiyi… let a part of herself come to his side, and seemed to have even told Feng Shiyi that she would die if she left him…
The Empress was unlikely to be plotting against him. She had already reached the pinnacle. The reason she had sent Feng Shiyi to his side… the only thing he could think of was to protect him.
Thinking that in that future, Feng Shiyi also became his Dao companion, Mingyan felt a headache coming on. Feng Shiyi was the Empress. The Feng Shiyi that Bai Ze had spoken of, was it this crybaby Feng Shiyi, or the Empress herself?
This was a bit scary…
“It seems Young Master Ming has had his doubts cleared,” Jade Peony smiled when she saw Mingyan walk over with a strange expression. “Does Young Master Ming wish to leave immediately? If so, I will escort you all down the mountain.”
Mingyan shook his head. “Senior Bai Ze has asked me to stay here for a while. She also said that something big is about to happen in the Southern Continent.”
“In that case, I will arrange a place for you to stay,” Jade Peony nodded and led Mingyan, Huang Feiyan, and Feng Shiyi to their accommodations.
Afterward, Huang Feiyan came to find Mingyan. “What did you and the Demon King talk about?”
Mingyan’s expression was complicated. He let out a light breath, looked at Feng Shiyi who was hugging his shoulder and already asleep, and said softly, “It seems we need to take Feng Shiyi with us. Her identity is beyond my imagination… Feiyan, she might be a part of the Empress, or even the Empress herself.”
Huang Feiyan was stunned for a moment, then looked at Feng Shiyi, who was sleeping soundly on Mingyan’s shoulder, in disbelief. “She…?! She…?! Huh… Really?!”
Obviously, Huang Feiyan also found this fact extremely hard to believe. It was very difficult for her to imagine that this woman who either ate or slept, or just said “Mingyan, Mingyan, Mingyan,” was actually the Empress.
This was too outrageous…
“It’s very likely true…” Mingyan sighed. “Even if she’s not the Empress herself, she’s an existence similar to a clone of the Empress. Her staying by my side is probably the Empress’s request.”
