Choose to Betray the Beasts or Resist?

Xiao Wu found it hard to believe the truth.

The brother she had spent six years with, who had said that anyone who wanted to kill her would have to step over his corpse first, had seen through her identity from the very beginning.

He had even made a long series of plans with his father.

Their goal was to make her sacrifice herself in the future, giving up her Soul Ring and Soul Bone.

What a vicious scheme!

The Wheel of Time showed her many, many things that happened afterward.

For instance, after she sacrificed herself, Tang San went to the Star Dou Great Forest.

In the end, Da Ming and Er Ming sacrificed themselves too.

The family she had spent countless years with all ended up becoming Tang San's Soul Rings and Soul Bones.

Yet Tang San still put on a righteous, heroic front, and no one could see anything wrong with him.

They regarded him as a messenger of justice.

How ridiculous!

But now, she seemed to have no choice but to believe it.

In the scenes of her time with Tang San, some close-ups of his gaze were strange.

She had never noticed it before, but now, watching as a bystander, she could see it clearly.

That look was definitely not the doting gaze he should have had for his little sister.

It was calculating, utterly devoid of feeling.

He had hidden it well, but she was certain she had not seen wrong.

When she compared it with the scenes of their past together, the contrast was devastating.

"Those are the things you'll experience in the future. What do you think?"

Chu Xuan's voice rang out in the sky.

Xiao Wu jumped and looked up, but saw nothing.

Wait, Chu Xuan could see it too.

That meant he knew her identity!

He knew she was a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast in human form!

Now that a human Soul Master knew her identity, her life was probably in danger.

At the thought, she really felt like crying.

"Don't be nervous. I'm not interested in your Soul Ring or Soul Bone. I'm someone blessed by the gods. They're falling over themselves to give me Soul Rings and Soul Bones, so I don't need yours."

Chu Xuan's voice reached her, and Xiao Wu fell silent.

She was sure of it: that was disdain.

Yes, undisguised disdain.

It was as if her Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring and Soul Bone were worthless junk from a roadside stall, beneath his notice.

Then again, Chu Xuan was so extraordinary that he could even produce a divine artifact like the Wheel of Time. Why would he need to covet her Soul Ring and Soul Bone?

As for being blessed by the gods?

She did not believe that.

How could anyone be blessed by the gods?

"Come on out. You've seen everything now."

As soon as he finished speaking, white light flashed once more.

When she opened her eyes, she was back in the pavilion at Nuoding Academy.

The change of surroundings left Xiao Wu unable to adjust for a moment, and her head felt dizzy.

By the time she could see clearly, Chu Xuan was already beside her, cracking sunflower seeds.

"You... those things?"

Xiao Wu spoke cautiously.

Chu Xuan was someone who knew her identity.

If he attacked, she probably would not be able to stop him.

Chu Xuan handed her a handful of sunflower seeds and said, "Those are the things you'll experience in the future. It looks a little miserable, being deceived without even knowing it."

"Now that you know the truth, you can avoid some of those situations."

"That Tang San is no good. You'd better watch out for yourself."

The Wheel of Time had already exposed Tang San's identity, so there was no need to give him face.

He was stirring things up; there was no need to worry about the consequences.

With the gods backing him up, he was safe as could be.

If he really did face a life-threatening crisis, the gods would definitely be the most anxious.

When the gods projected themselves down, even the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King would be killed in an instant.

A single apparition of the Sea God could suppress the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King, let alone experts at the God King level.

Xiao Wu lowered her head and silently cracked a few sunflower seeds.

Just as Chu Xuan had said, she now had to consider her own safety.

Or rather, this was no longer just her personal problem. It concerned the entire Star Dou Great Forest and the entire Soul Beast Clan.

Da Ming and Er Ming would eventually sacrifice themselves to Tang San too!

With the loss of the three of them, the overall strength of the Star Dou Great Forest would be greatly diminished, and human Soul Masters entering the forest would have far fewer misgivings.

In the past, Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts occasionally came out and moved about, so human Soul Masters did not dare act too recklessly in the forest.

If no Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts roamed around for a long time, human Soul Masters would become more aggressive. They would have far fewer misgivings about hunting Soul Beasts and would become even more frenzied.

She had to make a change.

Between betraying the beasts and resisting, she had to choose resistance.

She would never be willing to fall prey to Tang San's schemes.

"Thank you. I know what to choose."

The corners of Chu Xuan's mouth rose. It seemed Xiao Wu would choose to leave Tang San.

Or do something in secret.

At this stage, Xiao Wu's feelings for Tang San were limited to those between brother and sister, with no romantic element whatsoever.

So this was also the easiest time to give up that bond.

"Then tell me, what do you plan to do?"

"I want to stay by Tang San's side. If I leave now, he'll become suspicious."

Xiao Wu spoke softly.

Walking away looked carefree, but who knew whether Tang San and Tang Hao would attack the Star Dou Great Forest in a fury?

If that happened, Da Ming and Er Ming would be in danger.

Besides, if she left now, she did not know where to go.

Her cultivation had yet to advance, and she had little ability to protect herself.

Chu Xuan smiled and said, "It seems you have some ideas. I won't stand in the way of your choice."

"If you run into trouble in the future, you can come to me."

"I live in Spirit City."

Spirit City meant he was from Spirit Hall!

Xiao Wu's heart tightened.

Judging from the scenes in the Wheel of Time, Pope Bibi Dong was the one who had killed her mother.

"You... how could you be from Spirit Hall..."

Chu Xuan raised a hand to interrupt her and said, "Although the Wheel of Time showed those scenes, the circumstances of some things are rather special."

"Bibi Dong isn't the enemy who killed your mother. As for why she has your mother's Soul Ring, you'll find out when the time comes."

Hearing Chu Xuan's words, Xiao Wu still harbored deep resentment toward Bibi Dong, but she also began to have some doubts.

If Bibi Dong had not killed her mother, how could she possibly have her mother's Soul Ring?

It was a contradiction!

"All right, I should go back. Thanks again for showing me around."

Chu Xuan stood up and brushed off his pants.

He had finished stirring things up. Now it remained to be seen how Xiao Wu would contend with Tang San.

It should be interesting.

Once he returned to Spirit City, he could have Spirit Hall start dealing with the Clear Sky Sect.

And its affiliated forces, such as the Four Single-Attribute Clans.

Although the four clans had fallen out with the Clear Sky Sect and said all sorts of things about never forgiving them,

because of Tang San, they still ended up standing with the Clear Sky Sect.

So the four clans had to be wiped out.

Spirit Hall was his force now; he could not just stand by and watch it be doomed by Tang San's senseless faction.

Xiao Wu watched Chu Xuan leave, having already made a decision in her heart.

She had to keep a close eye on Tang San.

And by observing him day to day, she would see whether his actions matched what the Wheel of Time had shown her.

If they did, Chu Xuan would be her best source of help.

She could also gradually change her fate based on the scenes she had seen.

At the very least, she could not become part of Tang San's strength.

Otherwise, she would have lived her life for nothing.
