122: Chapter 122 Shen Ye in Black Robes' First Prophecy Has Already Come True

Shen Ye's expression tightened; he nodded, then shook his head.

"The matter... could be considered half-finished, I suppose."

As he said this, Shen Ye subconsciously glanced at Xia Qing behind him.

The two exchanged a look.

On the way back, they had discussed it for a long time.

The truth regarding "Black-Robed Shen Ye," the "Beast creator," and the "Spacetime Loop" was simply too shocking.

Although the logic of that Black-Robed Man was airtight, it was, after all, only one side of the story.

More importantly, according to what the Black-Robed Man said.

The instigators of this world-ending catastrophe were none other than the future Shen Ye and that woman named Ye Fei.

If they told everything to the Wu Tian or the Military Department, what would they do?

To solve the problem at its source, would the Military Department choose the simplest and most brutal method—directly eliminating the current Shen Ye and Ye Fei?

Shen Ye dared not gamble.

The Wu Tian had been a benefactor to him; if he told the Wu Tian about this, it would only force the old Wu Tian into a dilemma of whether to protect him or protect humanity.

Thinking of this, Shen Ye took a deep breath and decided to hide the truth.

"Wu Tian, the specific details are too complex to explain in a short time."

Shen Ye looked at the Wu Tian and said sincerely:

"I came back this time mainly to find someone."

"Find someone?"

The Wu Tian was taken aback:

"Who are you looking for?"

"Among this year's First-Year University Students..."

"Is there someone named Chen Xi? I don't know if you recognize this person, Wu Tian."

Hearing the two words 'Chen Xi,' the Wu Tian's expression instantly became interesting.

He raised an eyebrow:

"Is this young man's ability to cause trouble really that impressive? How did he manage to offend even you two, who are Outside the Border?"

Hearing this, Shen Ye hurriedly waved his hands to deny it:

"No, Wu Tian, you've misunderstood! We have no grudge against him. It's just... the voice in my head guided me, saying that I need this person, Chen Xi, to help me completely solve the problem."

"I see."

The Wu Tian nodded thoughtfully, then sighed with emotion:

"Chen Xi... After your Night Curtain disbanded, he could be called the hottest figure in Jiang University right now."

Xia Qing was somewhat shocked:

"The hottest? Even more popular than our Night Curtain back then?"

"Indeed."

The Wu Tian picked up his teacup and took a sip, then looked at Shen Ye and said:

"This guy's talent is completely on par with yours. He started a team called Nirvana."

"He even recruited your former ace from Night Curtain, Su Xiaoxiao, and brought along a support; the three of them swept the field at the Freshman Challenge Tournament and took first place!"

"What?!"

Shen Ye and Xia Qing exclaimed in unison:

"Xiao Xiao is also on his team!?"

Hearing that a former teammate had joined Chen Xi's command, Shen Ye felt a complicated mix of emotions.

"Yes, besides Su Xiaoxiao, there are two other women."

The Wu Tian counted on his fingers:

"One is the daughter of the Minister of the Military Department, Li Zhenhai, named Li Murou. And there is one more..."

Speaking of this, the Wu Tian suddenly paused.

He scratched his slightly balding head and recalled with a frown:

"That girl who just joined Nirvana... what was her name again?"

Because Ye Fei only joined Nirvana after the school tournament ended, and plus she had been a non-entity at Jiang University before.

Therefore, the Wu Tian didn't have much memory of her.

Watching the Wu Tian deep in thought, Shen Ye's heart instantly jumped into his throat.

A strong sense of unease enveloped him.

Xia Qing pushed up his glasses, his palms already covered in cold sweat.

He glanced at Shen Ye, then tentatively asked the name:

"Wu Tian... that girl, could her name be... Ye Fei?"

"Slap!"

The Wu Tian slapped his thigh and pointed at Xia Qing:

"Eh! Yes, yes, yes! That seems to be the name! Ye Fei!"

"Tsk tsk tsk, you two are Outside the Border, yet your information is even better than mine as the Wu Tian!"

However, upon hearing the Wu Tian's confirmation, Shen Ye and Xia Qing's hearts sank, as if they had fallen into an ice cave.

Their faces instantly turned deathly pale, and cold sweat ran down their backs.

It was over.

Ye Fei had already joined the team!

What that Black-Robed Shen Ye said... it all matched up!

Chen Xi is the captain, Ye Fei is a team member... the future "World-Ending Team."

Except for himself.

The other two people.

Have already assembled!

Black-Robed Shen Ye did not lie!

Then he must find the two of them as soon as possible and tell them the truth!

Shen Ye forcibly suppressed the raging waves in his heart and hurriedly asked:

"Then where are they now!? Are they at school?"

"They aren't here anymore."

The Wu Tian shook his head:

"Didn't I just say? They took first place in the school's Freshman Challenge Tournament. According to the latest instructions from the Military Department, they have already set off to the South District on behalf of the school to participate in the regional joint challenge tournament."

"Calculating the time, they should have just arrived today."

"What!? They've already gone to the South District?"

Shen Ye and Xia Qing looked at each other, both seeing the anxiety and helplessness in the other's eyes.

It seems they were still one step too slow...

Ye Fei has already joined Nirvana; if they don't hurry over.

Although he is not on the team right now.

But Black-Robed Shen Ye's first prophecy has already come true.

He didn't say when he would get mixed up with Chen Xi.

What if the wheels of history start turning again...

"Since that's the case..."

Shen Ye took a deep breath, his eyes becoming incomparably firm:

"We have no choice but to go to the South District to find them. We must find Chen Xi and tell him the truth before things become irreversible!"

The Wu Tian watched their grave expressions and couldn't help but ask:

"What truth?"

"Sorry, Wu Tian."

Shen Ye bowed deeply to the Wu Tian:

"Before a solution to this matter is found, please forgive me for not being able to tell you. This is also to protect you and to protect the school."

"When everything settles down, I will definitely..."

"Alright, alright."

The Wu Tian interrupted him directly and waved his hand:

"I understand. I'm old, and I can't be bothered to remember so many secrets. The less you know, the longer you live."

"Tonight, just pretend you were never here."

As he spoke, the Wu Tian stood up, walked to the window, and looked at the southern sky:

"However, if you want to go to the South District, I'm not very familiar with that area."

"Your current status... as patients recovering from serious injuries, you'll have to figure out for yourselves how to sneak in and how to see them."

"Besides, that place Outside the Border is still dangerous, especially lately. Once you finish your business, hurry back to school. I've already cleaned up the loose ends regarding that Forbidden Curse for you."

Shen Ye looked at the old man before him who trusted them unconditionally and was even paving the way for them, his eyes reddening.

He bowed deeply once more, his voice choked with emotion:

"Understood... Thank you, Wu Tian!"

"Xia Qing, let's go! To the South District!"
