64: Chu Yunshang wakes up and decides

The night passed without incident.

The next day at noon.

"Xiao Tian, are you and Grandpa Tuo hiding something from me?" Chu Yunshang's slightly low voice rang in his ears.

Chu Tian opened his eyes and saw that his older sister had awakened from her coma. She was currently leaning against the headboard, staring blankly at the ancient tree outside the window. Her eyes held a hint of loneliness and emptiness, lacking her usual vivacity.

Her pale complexion from yesterday was now filled with blood, her cheeks rosy and incredibly beautiful. The Devilish Qi cultivated by the Supreme Yin Yang Art had been neutralized, and combined with the Dao essence brought by the Dao seed of the Supreme Yin Yang Great Dao Art, Chu Yunshang now possessed an Innate ethereal beauty.

However, upon seeing his older sister's empty, lifeless eyes, devoid of her usual lively spirit and instead filled with deep pain, Chu Tian's heart instinctively tightened. Yet, he also understood that this was a necessary process for his older sister.

In the original plot, Chu Yunshang loved Ye Feng deeply, never suspecting him in the slightest until the Supreme Yin Yang Art erupted.

Looking at his older sister's empty, pained eyes, Chu Tian knew that this Devilish Qi eruption, combined with his conversation with Old Tuo after he inquired about the Supreme Yin Yang Art last time, had made her guess something.

Chu Tian did not answer. Instead, he got up, tidied his clothes, and prepared to leave the room.

He had always believed that many things should happen naturally; only by comprehending them oneself could one truly understand them deeply. No matter how much others explained, it couldn't compare to a moment of enlightenment through one's own careful thought.

Chu Yunshang was not foolish; on the contrary, she was very intelligent, merely inexperienced.

The matters concerning Ye Feng and the Ye Family should be understood and discerned by Chu Yunshang herself, gradually accepting them. If he said too much, it might backfire.

"The Supreme Yin Yang Art is a Demonic Path Daoist Magic of the Supreme Demon Sect. The high-ranking members and Core Disciples of the Demon Sect... throughout the continent, they caused widespread resentment, and the major top Sects were helpless..."

At this moment, Chu Yunshang's low voice came from behind, causing Chu Tian's steps to halt. He slowly turned around: "Big Sister, you know everything."

Chu Tian's voice was low.

Just then, Old Tuo heard the sound and pushed open the door, walking in. Upon seeing Chu Yunshang's empty, lifeless eyes filled with pain, his eyes were streaked with blood.

"Young Miss, please don't be like this. That Ye Feng is just a wolf in sheep's clothing, a beast..."

Old Tuo trembled all over, his voice filled with pain and heavy Evil Qi: "This old servant will accompany you to Saint Emperor Peak right now. You can personally kill that scoundrel Ye Feng to vent your anger..."

"Grandpa Tuo, I don't want to kill Ye Feng right now. I just want to know the truth." Chu Yunshang's voice trembled as she looked at Chu Tian with a hint of pleading, "Xiao Tian, will you tell me everything you know and everything that has happened recently?"

"I don't want to continue being so foolish, to be a Puppet who knows nothing."

Chu Yunshang's voice was filled with endless pain—the kind of pain that comes from being betrayed after giving all your trust, suddenly realizing that in the other person's eyes, you were just a Puppet, a Cauldron, a pawn. The immense spiritual impact on her was simply inexpressible.

She was innocent, but not foolish, and her Heart-Nature was very sensitive. When Chu Tian mentioned the Supreme Yin Yang Art and she gave a positive reply, the bone-chilling coldness from her younger brother, and Old Tuo's sudden appearance with his burst of Killing Intent, made her sense that something was wrong.

The next day, she began to read the ancient texts treasured in the Holy Emperor Peak Scripture Pavilion. When she found the records of the Supreme Yin Yang Art in the dusty Demonic Path Sect records, Chu Yunshang felt as if her world had collapsed.

"After finding the Supreme Yin Yang Art in the Scripture Pavilion, I actually tried to comfort myself, finding excuses for Ye Feng. Perhaps he didn't know it was a secret technique of the Demon Sect, or perhaps he was having me Cultivate the main formula of the Supreme Yin Yang Art, or perhaps he..."

Chu Yunshang's voice trembled, and two streams of clear tears suddenly slid down her empty, lifeless eyes: "But the moment the Devilish Qi in my Dantian suddenly erupted, I, your elder sister, suddenly felt that I only wanted to kill. Memories of Mother and Father, and beautiful memories with you, my younger brother and sister, seemed to be drifting away. At that time, in my mind, only Ye Feng's figure remained. My seven emotions and six desires were leaving me..."

"Young Miss, if you want to cry, just cry. Don't hold it in." Old Tuo trembled all over and suddenly stepped forward, wanting to comfort the Young Miss. But in the end, he only patted Chu Yunshang's shoulder. One must know that normally, he always adhered to the duties of a master and servant, never overstepping his bounds.

"Grandpa Tuo, what did I do wrong that Ye Feng would treat me this way?" Chu Yunshang threw herself into Old Tuo's arms, sobbing softly.

"Sister, you didn't do anything wrong. It's Ye Feng who deserves to die."

Chu Tian's voice was low, and he took the opportunity to tell Chu Yunshang about the many things that had happened in recent days: the betrayal of the Liu Family, and how Ye Tianxiong, under the guise of Sect interests, wanted to gouge out his eyes.

"Ye Hongwu, Ye Fan, the Ye Family actually plotted against you, my little brother! Uncle Tianxiong watched you grow up, and he's Father's sworn brother in life and death, yet he wanted to gouge out your brow, Xiao Tian. That scoundrel!"

Chu Yunshang looked up, and an unprecedented Evil Qi surfaced in her empty, lifeless eyes.

"These scoundrels from the Ye Family not only plotted against me, but they even wouldn't spare you, my little brother."

"That little girl Liu Yun, who usually seems well-behaved, is actually so shameless in secret! And that group of scoundrels from the Liu Family, who took so many benefits from our Family, yet still dared to plot in secret and act against our Family!"

Chu Yunshang gritted her teeth and suddenly said, "Big Sister was still a bit confused about why you, little brother, would suddenly go against Father's wishes and rush to the Eternal Heaven Hall to participate in the test.

No wonder Ye Feng received a message from Uncle Tianxiong and hurried back to participate in the test at Eternal Heaven Hall, along with many other Ye Family Prodigies.

They were clearly plotting against our Family."

Chu Yunshang looked into Chu Tian's eyes and suddenly said, "Xiao Tian, is it that the Ye Family wants to harm our Family, so they don't want our Family to stand out?"

Chu Tian's expression was calm. After all, he couldn't say that he knew many of the later plot developments. He nodded slightly and said, "Big Sister, at this stage, I am also suspicious, but all signs already point to the Ye Family."

"Xiao Tian, I've decided. I want to go with you to participate in the Eternal Heaven Hall test." Chu Yunshang raised her head, wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and said with determination.

Upon hearing this, Chu Tian smiled slightly and nodded. Chu Yunshang's intelligence and rapid growth exceeded his expectations.

Currently, apart from him, the Chu Family members were still steadfastly carrying out Chu Tian King's orders to remain low-key and not stand out. On the Hengtian Board, he was the only young generation member from the Chu Family.

Chu Tian understood that the Chu Family Prodigies didn't not want to break into the Hengtian Board, shine brightly, and be revered by all. However, their old man, Chu Tian King, had too much accumulated prestige. Many young Prodigies of the Chu Family, though tempted when they saw him reach first place on the Earth Ranking, still dared not defy Chu Tian King's orders.

After returning, he had actually been thinking about how to reverse this low-key trend in the Chu Family. As a dignified founding Family, the young generation should naturally dominate and traverse all directions, establishing prestige for the Chu Family. Continuing to remain silent like this would only send a signal to the outside world that the Chu Family's young generation was no longer capable.

This would cause immense damage to the Chu Family's prestige.

And Chu Yunshang, as everyone knew, had always been Chu Tian King's most obedient good girl.

Her ascent to the Hengtian Board would undoubtedly play a huge role in reversing the current atmosphere of the Chu Family.

At this moment, a shiny bald head appeared outside the door. Hui Mei's voice trembled with excitement:

"Big Brother, my cousin has arrived at Saint Heaven Sect, but she learned that you've once again taken first place on the Earth Ranking, so she went directly to the Eternal Heaven Hall to take the test."

PS: My body has mostly recovered. I will resume three updates a day starting tomorrow and try to make up for the chapters I owe from the past two days.
