"The judgment that was bound to come had finally arrived!"
Ye Xishui hid somewhere no one could find, watching the canopy stir once more as her own monologue was about to play.
Instead of the fear she had felt before, she now felt a sense of release.
After all, ever since Long Xiaoyao's monologue had ended, Ye Xishui had sensed that it would soon be her turn.
Once all the truths behind everything were exposed, who knew what kind of uproar it would cause?
She feared that Xiaoyao would make a mistake because of it.
But Ye Xishui herself was also afraid, unwilling to face those things, which was why she had chosen to run away.
Yet the more she did so, the more tormenting it became for her.
Especially during this process of waiting for the final judgment!!
[My name is Ye Xishui, and I possess twin martial souls.]
[My first martial soul is the Blood Soul Demon Puppet; my second is the Bright Phoenix. Yet I concealed the fact that I possessed a second martial soul for over two hundred years, never daring to use it before anyone else.]
[Because I am the Holy Spirit Church's Holy Maiden, Old Ghost Zhongli's disciple, and a sinful evil soul master!]
[When I was young, I remained in the Holy Spirit Church and cultivated diligently, rarely going outside. The first time I ever traveled far from home was when I disguised my identity to participate in the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament.]
[Of course, my purpose in entering the tournament was not so simple. I was there on behalf of the Holy Spirit Church to inspect the outstanding members of the younger generation from our era.]
Ye Xishui's monologue was remarkably different!
She had barely begun by briefly introducing her circumstances before she caused an earth-shattering shock among the major factions and throughout the human world.
In just a few sentences, she had completely overturned the impression people had formed of Ye Xishui from the monologues of the Dragon God Douluo and the Dragon Emperor Douluo.
"This broad ain't no good person, huh?" A student at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy could not help sighing.
The opening of the Death God Douluo's monologue was simply too explosive. She had started with such a shocking self-revelation that it was utterly overwhelming.
Combined with those unmistakably clear statements, anyone could tell that something was wrong with Ye Xishui.
Thus, what everyone focused on at that moment was not her second martial soul, which she had kept hidden all along, but Ye Xishui's true identity.
Xishui had been an evil soul master from the very beginning?!
Even her meeting me back then had been deliberate.
As he watched the revelations on the canopy, Long Xiaoyao's eyes were filled with incredulous shock.
He had never expected the truth he wished to know to come so suddenly!
And the contents of that truth were actually this explosive!
How many people capable of cultivating to the realm of an Ultimate Douluo could possibly be fools?
Thus, Long Xiaoyao quickly pieced together an inference from the clues that had just emerged in the monologue.
If everything, starting from Xishui's meeting and acquaintance with him and Mu En back then, had been a deliberately orchestrated conspiracy, then it was far too terrifying.
After learning the so-called truth mentioned by the canopy earlier, Long Xiaoyao's heart ached as though he had suffered a fatal blow.
How could he not be shaken?
Over all these years, Long Xiaoyao had willingly worked for Xishui and for the Holy Spirit Church, choosing to aid evil.
Was it not all because of the guilt that had arisen back then, so that he could carry out that so-called atonement?
But judging from the current situation, if everything had been fake, then it was simply too painful and too powerless for Long Xiaoyao to bear.
At that moment, Long Xiaoyao seemed to begin understanding why his future self had felt so powerless after learning that so-called truth.
"Ah..." Long Xiaoyao felt an inexplicable pain in his chest.
Compared to the utterly miserable Long Xiaoyao, Mu En, who was in seclusion refining the Hundred-Year Lifespan Gu, was in a far better state.
First, he was in seclusion and did not need to face this situation directly.
Second, unlike Long Xiaoyao, Mu En had already moved on.
Therefore, even after he emerged from seclusion and learned this so-called truth, his reaction would not be as extreme as Long Xiaoyao's.
[At that Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament, I met the two most important people in my life.]
[One was named Mu En, and the other was named Long Xiaoyao.]
[We were young to begin with, and our talents were all quite good, so we easily became close. Besides, I had approached them with a purpose from the start.]
[Thus, I successfully made Mu En and Long Xiaoyao fall in love with me without realizing it. Yet during that process, I also sincerely fell in love with one of them.]
[That's right, the one I loved was Long Xiaoyao. Xiaoyao was so handsome and dashing, lively in personality, fond of standing out, and possessed an imposing aura that charged forward without fear. That was everything I loved.
Although Mu En was also very good, his personality was somewhat dull. Therefore, I regarded Mu En more as a dependable older brother.]
[But I could not choose Xiaoyao, because Old Ghost Zhongli would never permit me to choose him. The faction behind Xiaoyao was simply too weak. Choosing Mu En better served the interests of the Holy Spirit Church.]
[After all, Brother Mu was born into the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, came from Shrek Academy, had blood ties with the Heavenly Dragon Sect, and was the personal disciple of the current master of Shrek Academy's Sea God Pavilion. He was destined to become the Sea God Pavilion Master and one of the continent's top powerhouses in the future.
If such a person could be controlled by the Holy Spirit Church, not only would the Holy Spirit Church's strength rise to another level, it could also receive better cover.]
[Thus, under Old Ghost Zhongli's coercion, I had no choice but to choose Mu En.]
[At the same time, because of this, the heartbroken Xiaoyao chose to leave us and venture out into the world alone.]
[The only thing that gave me some comfort was that Xiaoyao was very strong, so nothing unexpected would happen to him.]
Xishui...
Seeing this, much of Long Xiaoyao's anger and helplessness immediately faded.
He had never imagined that there had been such hidden circumstances behind the choice Xishui had made between him and Mu En back then.
At that moment, Long Xiaoyao hated the Holy Spirit Church and that damned Old Ghost Zhongli to the core.
If that bastard, dead beyond dead, had not obstructed them, would he not have ended up with Xishui back then?
Would the three of them have avoided all those subsequent tragedies?
"Ah..." Seeing this, Ye Xishui seemed to recall the past.
It was that single mistake back then that had completely caused the tragedies that followed.
Two people who clearly loved each other had been unable to be together, and even dependable Brother Mu En had been dragged into that vortex.
She truly was a woman burdened with grave sins!!
