Bab 59: Chapter 59: Ah Yin Feels Broken
At this moment, Tang Hao was completely unaware that the "Blue Silver Emperor" in front of him was just an ordinary Blue Silver Grass! The real Blue Silver Emperor, Ah Yin, had already become Su Ming's spirit soul, and her original body had disappeared along with her. That's why this "Blue Silver Emperor" appeared so abnormal.
If Tang Hao could communicate with the Blue Silver Grass, the truth would have been revealed. Unfortunately, there was no such possibility.
One year later, when Tang Hao returns and finds his Ah Yin has turned into an ordinary Blue Silver Grass, what will he feel then?
On the other side, not long ago, Su Ming and Xiao Wu had already transferred to a secluded area within Nuoding Academy. This was a place where the two of them often trained together. Normally, no one else would come here, and it was essentially their personal space. No one in the academy would dare question it!
Xiao Wu was the public leader of the students at Nuoding Academy, while Su Ming was the hidden boss.
Once they arrived, both Su Ming and Xiao Wu relaxed immediately. Ah Yin also emerged from Su Ming's spirit ring and gazed at him.
Xiao Wu then voiced her earlier curiosity: "Su Ming-ge, what was that thing you swapped for the Blue Silver Emperor's right leg bone? It looked and felt so similar!"
Su Ming smiled and explained, "That was also a soul bone, but it was only a hundred-year-old Blue Silver Grass right leg bone. As for how I got it, I can't tell you. It's the only secret I can't share with you both."
Ah Yin and Xiao Wu exchanged a glance: Don't think we don't know! That thing definitely came from your system. There's no way a Blue Silver Grass could drop a hundred-year soul bone—it's practically impossible!
Su Ming continued, "Even though that Blue Silver Grass soul bone was only at the hundred-year level, I used a special process to make its aura and appearance identical to the ten-thousand-year soul bone that Ah Yin produced."
Ah Yin then spoke to Su Ming and Xiao Wu telepathically, "I'm not going to question where you got that from, but I do have a question: was this really necessary? Why bother leaving a fake behind? You could've just taken the original and left."
Su Ming smirked coldly and replied, "Ah Yin, trust me. If I hadn't left a fake, your so-called Tang Hao would have massacred the entire village. Don't believe me? I know him better than you do. You don't have to believe me now, but time will prove it."
Su Ming wasn't wrong. When Tang Hao initially realized his imprint was gone, he really had the thought of slaughtering the whole village. To him, the lives of the villagers weren't worth as much as the ten-thousand-year soul bone.
And what did it matter if they were just ordinary people who hadn't awakened their spirit power? Wiping them out wouldn't change anything!
Su Ming continued, "Do you really think your sacrifice was just a coincidence? Why did Tang Hao keep dragging you around even while you were pregnant? Anyone with common sense knows you should hide until after giving birth! As a member of the Clear Sky Clan, he definitely knew better. And at the time, his spirit power had conveniently just reached level ninety, meaning you could sacrifice yourself for him. Don't you think that's too coincidental?"
"If his spirit power had been at level eighty-seven or eighty-eight, you wouldn't have been able to sacrifice yourself, and both of you would've died. And it just so happened that you were discovered by the previous Pope of Spirit Hall, Qian Xunji. All these coincidences—haven't you ever thought that something wasn't right?"
Ah Yin trembled at Su Ming's words. Even though she had learned about these things from Su Ming's diary, hearing them from his mouth made it harder for her to accept!
She tried to argue, "But after I sacrificed myself, Hao became so broken… He drank every day. He wasn't like that before."
Ah Yin was trying to use this as a reason to convince herself.
Su Ming, sensing that Ah Yin still wasn't convinced, added fuel to the fire, smirking, "I don't know why he acted that way, but what if he was faking it? If he truly felt guilty, why did he leave you in such a damp and dark place? He should have taken you to the Blue Silver Emperor's ancestral land!"
Ah Yin was shocked. "How do you know about the Blue Silver Emperor's ancestral land?"
Of course, Ah Yin knew about it, but she had to feign ignorance.
Su Ming replied, "You're the emperor of a species. How could you not have an ancestral land? That would be ridiculous."
He delivered a final blow: "I've said everything I needed to. When you reach ten-thousand-year cultivation and can reform your body, I'll let you confront Tang Hao and find out the truth. Then you can decide whether to give up on him. As it stands, I think you're wasting your feelings."
Xiao Wu, who had been listening all along, spoke up: "Aunt Ah Yin, I think Su Ming-ge makes a lot of sense. You should really think about it. After all, I'm just like you—both of us are spirit beasts who transformed into humans. We're on the same side!"
Ah Yin gave Su Ming and Xiao Wu a complicated look before retreating into the spirit ring. She really needed time to process everything.
With Ah Yin gone, Su Ming turned to Xiao Wu and said, "Let's head back and rest for a bit. In a few days, we'll be heading to Shrek Academy. I can't wait to see if that place is really as great as the Grandmaster claims. I hope I won't be disappointed!"
Xiao Wu thought: Don't you already know exactly what Shrek Academy is like? Besides, if it's so amazing, why would it be in such a remote area?
However, she remembered that the Grandmaster had mentioned that the head of Shrek Academy was his brother and part of the Golden Iron Triangle, with a power level of seventy-eight. That was indeed quite impressive.
Most academy heads weren't nearly as strong.
As Su Ming and Xiao Wu made their way back to Dorm Seven, Su Ming casually started writing in his diary. He hadn't had a chance to write yet today, and after everything he had done, it felt good to relax a bit. He also hoped that the system would reward him with more transfer talismans—he had only received that one over the years, and honestly, it was the most functional and useful talisman he had ever gotten!
[Today, Xiao Wu and I returned from Holy Soul Village. In a few days, we'll set out for Shrek Academy. I'm really looking forward to meeting the little witch, Ning Rongrong, and the cat, Zhu Zhuqing!]
Ning Rongrong was equally excited, thinking: I've been waiting for this day for so long. If it weren't for the system's rules, I would've already run to Nuoding Academy to meet Su Ming!
