Truth—Ah Yin Breaks Down

Because he had laid the groundwork when he obtained his second blank martial soul, Luo Ye bringing up making the Blue Silver Emperor his second martial soul and soul spirit did not seem so abrupt now.

What was the highest form of lying?

It was certainly not spouting nothing but nonsense.

It was mixing a portion of truth into the lies, making the other party naturally believe that what Luo Ye said was the truth.

The moment Xiao Wu saw the new entry in the diary, she froze. Then she felt as though she had fallen into an ice cellar. Despite the scorching weather, cold sweat covered her body, her hands and feet turned icy, and even her body began trembling uncontrollably.

After Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong exchanged a glance, they both turned to look at Xiao Wu, their eyes filled with pity.

Since Luo Ye had written this in the diary, it proved that Tang Hao had definitely followed them to Shrek Academy.

After all, they only needed to check whether Flender and Zhao Wuji were injured to know whether Tang Hao had beaten them badly as Luo Ye claimed. There was simply no point in Luo Ye telling such a lie.

That also meant that, just as Luo Ye had previously said, Tang Hao had long since discovered Xiao Wu's identity as a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast. He had probably begun planning to obtain a hundred-thousand-year soul ring and Spirit Bone for Tang San from that very moment.

Once she realized this, even though Xiao Wu still retained some trust in Tang San, she nevertheless began considering leaving.

She trusted Tang San, but she did not trust Tang Hao.

Noticing that Xiao Wu's attitude had begun to waver, Ning Rongrong spoke directly.

"I heard my father, Sword Grandpa, and Bone Grandpa mention the Clear Sky Sect before. Back then, Tang Hao came into conflict with Spirit Hall, and even the previous Pope died because of Tang Hao."

"To avoid disaster, the Clear Sky Sect publicly declared that Tang Hao had been expelled from the sect and chose to go into seclusion."

"Tang Hao must feel indebted to the Clear Sky Sect. So long as there is an opportunity to repay the sect, there is no way he would let it slip by."

Ning Rongrong paused there, then continued meaningfully.

"Even if Tang San's feelings for you are genuine, Tang Hao would not care in the slightest. And besides, according to Luo Ye, Tang San had been plotting against you from beginning to end."

"What you do is up to you."

Zhu Zhuqing did not kick her while she was down, nor did she frighten Xiao Wu as Ning Rongrong had. Instead, she looked at her with complete sincerity and said, "Luo Ye said that if you and Ning Rongrong had not helped me in my previous life, I would have died at Dai Mubai's hands."

"Even for the sake of that matter from my previous life, no matter what choice you make, I will do everything in my power to help you."

Xiao Wu gave Zhu Zhuqing a grateful look upon hearing this. She pursed her lips without replying, but the scales in her heart had already begun gradually tipping toward Luo Ye and Zhu Zhuqing.

As long as the currently verifiable contents of the diary were proven true, Xiao Wu would naturally accept everything in it.

She would completely believe that Tang San was an Outer Realm Heavenly Demon, that he had been plotting against her all along, and that he would kill the Vast Sky Bull Python and Titan Giant Ape in the future.

By then, Luo Ye taking her away would be the natural course of events.

Xiao Wu was not the only one who nearly broke down because of this new entry. Ah Yin was the one who found it hardest to accept.

Ah Yin knew very well that Luo Ye had not lied about how she could recover at the fastest speed after returning to her ancestral land.

As the Blue Silver Emperor, she could command Blue Silver Grass anywhere on the Douluo Continent. In particular, the Blue Silver Grass in the ancestral land that had lived long enough could provide her with even more life force.

Not to mention that there was also a Blue Silver King there.

So long as Ah Yin went there and revealed even the slightest sign that she needed it, the Blue Silver King and the Blue Silver Grass there would immediately offer their lives to her, their emperor.

Before her sacrifice, Ah Yin had told Tang Hao about the Blue Silver Emperor's characteristics.

She had originally believed that Tang Hao had not brought her back to the ancestral land because he had forgotten about this trait.

But after seeing Luo Ye's diary, it was as though she had been struck in an instant. A thought of doubting Tang Hao arose uncontrollably in her mind.

"Could Brother Hao really have deliberately pretended to forget this, refusing to take me to the ancestral land so that Little San's martial soul could evolve into the Blue Silver Emperor?"

"How could this be? How could Brother Hao have been plotting against me from beginning to end? No, that can't be true. Brother Hao must have simply forgotten."

Ah Yin defended Tang Hao with her words, yet she still clutched her head in anguish. Her elegant, noble face was filled with sorrow, and two illusory tears ran down from the corners of her eyes.

Ah Yin desperately wanted to keep believing Tang Hao and refused to believe Luo Ye's diary.

But if Luo Ye had only been right about one thing, it could still be called a coincidence. Yet with coincidence after coincidence piling up, how could she continue trusting Tang Hao as wholeheartedly as before?

Not just Ah Yin—no matter who replaced her, they would begin to suspect Tang Hao now.

Just then, new words appeared in the diary. Ah Yin had no time to dwell in her sorrow and immediately checked them.

Back when Ah Yin chose to take human form and enter the human world, everything felt fresh and novel to her. She wanted to travel around and see the world, and before long, she met the two brothers, Tang Xiao and Tang Hao.

By a twist of fate, Ah Yin chose to travel with the two of them.

After they spent some time together, both Tang Xiao and Tang Hao developed feelings for Ah Yin. Though Ah Yin was a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, she had never experienced such a situation. After some more time passed, Tang Xiao chose to withdraw from the struggle for her affection and bring Tang Hao and Ah Yin together.

Ah Yin also gradually developed feelings for Tang Hao, and they ultimately became a couple.

It appeared that the Tang Xiao and Tang Hao brothers were competing for the woman they loved, but in truth, their goal was merely to obtain Ah Yin's soul ring and Spirit Bone.

Tang Xiao chose to withdraw not because Ah Yin had fallen for Tang Hao, but because Tang Hao's talent far surpassed his own.

Letting Tang Hao obtain Ah Yin's soul ring and Spirit Bone would bring greater benefits to the Clear Sky Sect.

It could be said that from the moment Ah Yin encountered the Tang Xiao and Tang Hao brothers, her tragedy was already destined.

Even though Tang San was an evil Outer Realm Heavenly Demon, he was still far inferior to Tang Hao in this regard. His plotting against Xiao Wu was merely following Tang Hao's old path.

Unfortunately, Ah Yin was still being deceived even now. Even though I know she is currently in Holy Spirit Village, I cannot take her away directly.

Even if I told her the entire truth, she would probably not believe me. To Ah Yin as she was now, Tang Hao and Tang San were the people she trusted most.
