A Conversation in the Room at Night

"Well...so, I can't really answer anything more about what you've said," Wu Zhangkong continued.

Yes, Wu Zhangkong didn't actually understand his younger brother that thoroughly, nor did he know that much about him.

"Is that so? You don't even know Chang Kong? Well, I can understand that. By the way, do you think we should take him to the academy and have the senior members examine him?" Shen Yi suddenly joked.

"This is unnecessary... In short, I don't want, especially them, to touch my brother or my students!" Wu Zhangkong said coldly.

Hearing Wu Zhangkong's answer was both unexpected and expected.

Meanwhile, as he answered Shen Yi's question, Wu Zhangkong exuded a cold and aloof aura, all for the sake of the fire in his heart.

"Are you still holding a grudge against them? Actually, given the situation back then... they, including the teacher..." Shen Yi tried to explain.

However, before she could say anything more, Wu Zhangkong's expression had already become even more worried.

"Shen Yi, you don't need to say anything more about this matter..."

"In short, I don't hold a grudge against anyone about this. You know, if I really have any, it's only against myself. Besides, I'm not the same person I used to be. Myself? Now I'm just a living dead," Wu Zhangkong continued.

"So, I've been thinking about everything. It's not that I'm unwilling to die, but that I want to find a way to let her live," Wu Zhangkong said with a hint of sadness.

"Sigh... Chang Kong, you're just too stubborn, but... what you said might be right." Shen Yi sighed.

"Stubborn? After all, if it weren't for this, would I still be me?" Wu Zhangkong retorted.

"Hmm? That's true! After all, you are the White-Clad Blue Sword that Long Bing deeply loves, the Wu Zhangkong in the Heavenly Ice, Snow Chill." Shen Yi said with a smile.

Wu Zhangkong remained silent in response, as his thoughts drifted back to that time.

"Oh, Shen Yi, I went to see her before, with my younger brother," Wu Zhangkong said.

"Huh? You, you went back over there? But... are you really not going back to the academy? Chang Kong, do you know how heartbroken Teacher was after you left?" Shen Yi said.

"Yes, I feel sorry for my teacher, so I have no face to go back, and I won't," Wu Zhangkong replied.

"I know, so you're raising these kids just to send them to the academy and hand them over to the teachers in the future, as a way of making amends? Especially your younger brother, are you planning to give him some things in the future so that the teachers can look back on you as their grand-disciple?" Shen Yi said with a sigh.

This time, Wu Zhangkong remained silent, because he didn't know or understand some things.

"Chang Kong, you've made some mistakes. After all, you need to know that there are some things no one can make up for for you. If you want to make amends, only you can do it yourself. After all, you're still alive, and you really need to, and should, move on," Shen Yi said earnestly.

She was very serious, from the very beginning of her apprenticeship to her acquaintance with Wu Zhangkong, and everything that happened afterward.

Finally, we saw that Wu Zhangkong had left that place and hadn't been seen for a long time.

"Alright, Shen Yi... I understand. Let me think about some things some more," Wu Zhangkong said.

"By the way, if I ever return to the academy, it will definitely be with my students, not by myself," Wu Zhangkong continued.

That's right, he figured things out in such a short time and made this decision.

"Yes, as long as you say that, I'll look forward to that day." Shen Yi said happily with a smile.

Having heard what Wu Zhangkong said, Shen Yi could finally rest assured.

Those who know him will understand that Wu Zhangkong has wavered, so there's no need to say anything more.

"By the way, Chang Kong, there's something I need to tell you," Shen Yi said.

"What is it?" Wu Zhangkong asked.

"It's about your younger brother. After his match with Ye Xinglan, and after Ye Xinglan visited him..."

Then, Shen Yi explained the whole story.

Wu Zhangkong showed a hint of surprise when he heard the end of the story.

"Is what you said true?" Wu Zhangkong asked.

"Yes, I can confirm that. Moreover, regarding Ye Xinglan's Stargod Sword, the power of the starry sky, that starlight power, has clearly been affected," Shen Yi said.

"Is that so? The Stargod Sword, the power of the starry sky... Yang Jin, does he still have such an ability?" Wu Zhangkong murmured.

"Huh? Chang Kong, you didn't know either? I thought you might have known, but you were just keeping it as a trump card..."

"No, I don't know," Wu Zhangkong replied.

"Oh, okay? How about this, we'll go to his room tonight, and I'll invite Ye Xinglan along," Shenyin decided.

"Okay, sure," Wu Zhangkong agreed.

In the evening, Wu Yang Jin and his friends finished their dinner and returned to the hotel.

"Hmm? Brother, what do you want from me?" Wu Yang Jin wondered.

I received a notification late in the afternoon, telling me to go back to my room that evening.

"Hmm, that's strange," Wu Yang Jin said.

Then, he went to his and Tang Wu Lin's room, opened the door, and went inside.

Upon entering, one sees three people sitting on the sofa: Shen Yi and Wu Zhangkong.

There was another person, Ye Xinglan, whom I had previously fought against, who possessed the Star Sword Martial Soul.

"Hmm? Ye Xinglan, how are you?" Wu Yang Jin greeted her.

"Oh, hello, are you feeling better?" Ye Xinglan asked.

"Hmm, much better. By the way, brother, what should I call this lady... um, how should I address her?" Wu Yang Jin asked.

"It's alright, you can just call me Sister Shen Yi or Teacher Shen, I'm one of the teachers leading the Shrek Academy team this time," Shen Yi said to Wu Yang Jin.

Looking at Wu Yang Jin who came in, Shen Yi knew that he was not his biological brother, but there were some things about him that made Shen Yi think of Wu Zhangkong.

"Ah, you really look very young, so I'll call you Sister Shen Yi. Um, is there something you need?" Wu Yang Jin asked.

"Yes, it was me who came to see you. But there's something I wanted to talk to you about," Shen Yi said.

"Well, let me tell you the whole story," Wu Zhangkong said.

Subsequently, Wu Zhangkong explained that Ye Xinglan had visited Wu Yang Jin at the time, and then the events involving the Stargod Sword occurred.

"Huh? I see," Wu Yang Jin said.

"Yes, it was after that, during the time I fought you, and you were wielding my Stargod Sword," Ye Xinglan nodded.

"Oh, well, I didn't expect that," Wu Yang Jin said awkwardly, scratching his head.
