“Tsk.” Mo Xiao leaned against the red old sofa as he hugged She Ying and fiddled with a few strands of She Ying’s hair with his fingertips. He narrowed his eyes at Yu Huang as he revealed her true motive, “You suspect that the spies planted by the Great Dao in the Space Administration have yet to be completely removed and want to take the opportunity to bait the fish so that we can reel in the net together?”
Yu Huang nodded and said, “Yes.”
At this moment, Si Cheng looked at Yu Huang with a complicated gaze as he asked, “Ah Huang, you even suspect Grand Mentor?” Grand Mentor treated Yu Huang extremely well. If Yu Huang was even wary of Grand Mentor, her thoughts were too…
At the thought of this, Si Cheng became afraid of Yu Huang.
Si Cheng also knew that it was safer to be cautious, but Prime Emperor Divine Miracle had helped Yu Huang greatly. If Yu Huang even schemed against Prime Emperor Divine Miracle, this child was too scheming. If she could scheme against Prime Emperor Divine Miracle, she could scheme against them as well.
Seeing what Si Cheng was worried about, Yu Huang didn’t want Si Cheng to misunderstand her, so she hurriedly explained, “I naturally trust Mentor.”
Si Cheng looked straight into Yu Huang’s clear and calm eyes. When he sensed Yu Huang’s sincerity, he felt a little more at ease. Seeing that Yu Huang didn’t call Prime Emperor Divine Miracle over for a private chat, Si Cheng asked her, “Could it be that you have other plans for letting Grand Mentor go to the Space Administration?”
Before Yu Huang could explain, Madam Brulee shook the gorgeous fan with peony flowers in her hand and chuckled as she asked Si Cheng, “If we want to get down to business, we have to send someone we can trust to catch the mole, right? Grand Mentor is the only Prime Emperor big shot on the Cang Lang Continent, so he’s the most suitable person to catch the mole.”
Si Cheng was instantly enlightened. “That’s true.” Noticing that Taixu wasn’t there either, Si Cheng asked Yu Huang, “Why don’t I see my mentor? Ah Huang, did you send both Mentor and Grand Mentor to catch the mole? Mentor is only an early-stage Prime Master now, so I’m afraid he’s no match for those people.” Si Cheng was focused on Taixu and ignored the hesitation that flashed across Yu Huang’s eyes.
Mo Xiao, who had been observing Yu Huang, naturally didn’t miss her subtle reaction.
Mo Xiao sat up straight and asked Yu Huang with a frown, “Ah Huang, are you suspecting Prime Emperor Taixu?”
Upon hearing this, everyone revealed shocked expressions.
Si Cheng hurriedly asked Yu Huang, “Ah Huang, could it be that you suspect that there’s something wrong with my mentor? That’s impossible!” Si Cheng trusted Prime Emperor Taixu very much and didn’t want Yu Huang to suspect Taixu, so he explained anxiously, “I’ve been under Prime Emperor Taixu’s tutelage for more than 170 years. All these years, I’ve had a deep relationship with Mentor and have been alone with him quite often. Mentor is definitely trustworthy.”
“If there’s really something suspicious about Mentor, how could Grand Mentor not notice?”
“Yu Huang, there might be a misunderstanding. I don’t believe that Prime Emperor Taixu will betray us.” When Madam Brulee was still a butterfly vine, she was picked up by Prime Emperor Divine Miracle and brought back to the inner academy. It was the dean who took good care of her day after day that allowed her to transform into her human form.
Whether it was out of selfishness or out of her understanding of Prime Emperor Taixu’s character, Madam Brulee didn’t believe that Prime Emperor Taixu would betray them.
As a bystander, Jing Rujiu became the calmest and most rational one. “Darling.” Jing Rujiu asked Yu Huang gently, “Why do you suspect the dean? I think the dean is an upright and kind person. He doesn’t seem like an evil person who would betray the three thousand worlds. Can you tell us about your doubts?”
“That’s right, Ah Huang. Tell us, what’s so suspicious about Prime Emperor Taixu?” Mo Xiao also wanted to hear Yu Huang explain in detail.
Yu Huang felt terrible when she heard everyone defending Taixu.
She hoped more than anyone else that Prime Emperor Taixu was trustworthy.
But…
Yu Huang knew that Si Cheng and Prime Emperor Taixu had a deep relationship, so she couldn’t pin Prime Emperor Taixu’s crime on him in one go. Yu Huang said calmly, “Last night, I deliberately gathered all the professors together and told them the news of the Divine Masters’ deaths, so that I could take the opportunity to pry into their past and future. However, I discovered that the lifeline of the dean I trusted and loved the most was actually severed a year ago and I actually couldn’t see his future.”
“What?!” Si Cheng stood up from the sofa in agitation. “If his lifeline is broken, it means that my mentor is dead. Then who have we be seeing in the past year?!” As Prime Emperor Taixu’s every frown and smile flashed across Si Cheng’s mind, he clenched his fists and said with an indignant expression, “I don’t believe it.”
