1409 A Painful Blow (2)

Zhan Jianxue suddenly raised her head and looked up at Zhan Wuya. Then, she pinched the wildflower in her hand until it burst and the juice drenched her fingertips. “Wuya, do you think Dad said those words before he went into seclusion to lure me to the Golden Canyon and fall into the nest of the super demon beast? If I hadn’t decided to go to the Golden Canyon to train because of his words, how could I have caused Mom’s death?”

“But…” Zhan Jianxue felt that her a.n.a.lysis was wrong. She shook her head as she lamented,” Perhaps it’s just a conspiracy theory. Because Dad’s words shattered his image in my heart, I became suspicious of all his words and actions in the past. He and Mother have been husband and wife for hundreds of years. They were deeply in love. Naturally, he couldn’t have hurt Mom… ”

Zhan Jianxue nodded as she muttered to herself, “I must be mistaken.”

When Zhan Wuya looked at Zhan Jianxue, he felt as if he was looking at his past self.

After seeing the Demon Suppressing Eagle, Zhan Wuya became suspicious of Zhan Jiuxiao. However, out of respect and love for his mentor, he couldn’t bear to think of the worst. Wasn’t Zhan Jianxue’s reaction exactly the same as his reaction back then?

The more firmly one denied something, the more it meant that it was true. It was just that the person was unwilling to admit it.

“Little Xue,” Zhan Wuya said, “For Mentor to say that he can have other children without you means that he doesn’t care. Mentor’s wife only pa.s.sed away two years ago, but Mentor already has the intention to have another child with another woman. Do you really think the love between Mentor and Mentoress was that strong?”

Zhan Jianxue became dejected once again.

“I…”

Zhan Jianxue looked at Zhan Wuya in shock. “Wuya, why would you say such a thing?” After her eyes darted around, Zhan Jianxue guessed a possibility. She covered her mouth and widened her almond-shaped eyes as she said in disbelief, “Could it be that… you’re also suspicious of him?”

Zhan Wuya nodded. “Yeah.”

“Why?” Zhan Jianxue couldn’t understand.

She suspected Zhan Jiuxiao because she had seen her father’s true att.i.tude towards her.

But her father had never mistreated Wuya.

Why would Wuya suspect his mentor?

Zhan Wuya swallowed for a long time and felt his throat tighten. Then, he said hoa.r.s.ely, “Because I also suspect that Mentoress’s death was very likely caused by Mentor.”

“Why?” Zhan Jianxue was puzzled.

After Zhan Wuya looked around and confirmed that there were no outsiders around, he told Zhan Jianxue about Zhan Jiuxiao imprisoning Prime Emperor Yu Tian and Madam Zhan accidentally discovering Prime Emperor Yu Tian and secretly letting him go.

After saying that, Zhan Wuya concluded, “I suspect that Mentor discovered Mentoress’s actions and was afraid that she would betray him and reveal his secret. That’s why he decided to harm Mentoress. There’s no least suspicious way to die than a mother dying in an accident to save her daughter.”

After saying that, even Zhan Wuya himself was shocked by Zhan Jiuxiao’s ruthlessness.

“Little Xue.” Zhan Wuya looked at the pure white cloud above his head with a pained expression. Then, he lamented with tears, “We treated a demon as a G.o.d and were blinded by his superb acting skills.”

Upon hearing this, Zhan Jianxue looked terrified.

“So… so you suspect that Daddy…” Zhan Jianxue covered her rosy lips with her hand again and said in a hoa.r.s.e voice while crying, “Do you think that the person living in Daddy’s body is the great fiendish cultivator from back then? Be it you, me, Mom, Sister, or Prime Emperor Yu Tian, we were all kept in the dark by this great demon?”

Nodding his head, Zhan Wuya said, “This is only our suspicion. Today, the reason I accompanied Yu Huang to search for the anthropomorphic pine is actually to see you. I want to verify it with you and find out if Mentor really said those words to you.”

“From the looks of it, it’s all true.”

Even though the current Zhan Jiuxiao was a great demonic cultivator, wasn’t the one who had treated him with great kindness all these years a great fiendish cultivator? When the truth was revealed, Zhan Wuya felt despair. On the one hand, he felt grateful for the kindness his Mentor had shown him, but on the other hand, he understood that the gentleness Zhan Jiuxiao had shown him was all fake.

Zhan Jiuxiao spent so much time and effort in order to successfully raise a demonic creature.

After taking a deep breath, Zhan Wuya hugged his battle spear tightly as he looked at the vast blue sky and said firmly, “Cultivating the demonic path isn’t a crime. However, those who cultivate the demonic path to commit evil must be eliminated! Little Xue.” Zhan Wuya turned around and smiled at Zhan Jianxue as he said, “Help me eliminate the demon and avenge Mentoress, Prime Emperor Yu Tian, and everyone in the world who was deceived and harmed by him. How about that?”

As Zhan Jianxue looked at the determined and fearless Zhan Wuya, she no longer felt so bitter anymore.

Eliminate the demon…

After Zhan Jianxue threw away the weeds in her hand and stood up, she nodded at Zhan Wuya. “Alright, I will do my best to help you.”

“Alright, it’s getting late, so you can go back first. If you discover any abnormalities later, remember to think of a way to tell me.”

Zhan Jianxue looked at him reluctantly for a while before leaving. Seeing that Zhan Jianxue had left, Zhan Wuya calmed down and turned to walk into the valley. After walking for a while, Zhan Wuya suddenly sensed a familiar spiritual energy fluctuation.

This fluctuation…

Mentor?

Zhan Wuya suddenly turned around and saw a scene that made his eyes widen.

Zhan Jiuxiao descended from the sky and turned into a ferocious tiger that suddenly bit Zhan Jianxue’s waist. Zhan Jianxue didn’t even have the chance to resist before being abandoned in the gra.s.sland while covered in blood.

“Junior Sister!” Zhan Wuya’s eyes suddenly turned bloodshot.

Zhan Wuya charged towards the place where Zhan Jianxue had fallen.

The tiger transformed into Zhan Jiuxiao again and flew in front of Zhan Wuya to block him. Zhan Jiuxiao looked at Zhan Wuya with an impa.s.sive expression as he asked sinisterly, “You discovered everything?”

Zhan Wuya looked at his Mentor, whom he respected the most in the past, as he roared in pain, “She’s your daughter! How can you be so heartless?!”

“Daughter?” A mocking look flashed across Zhan Jiuxiao’s eyes. He sneered as he said, “Don’t forget that I lost another daughter 170 years ago. Wuya, do you really think I care about their lives?”
