"What are you talking about?" Yuanen Yehui frowned; What Sheng Feilong told her was just too unbelievable. "Gu Yue attacked you and even tried to kill you? Why should she do something like that?"
Sheng Feilong shrugged lightly and looked at her with a calm expression. "I told you you wouldn't believe me even if I told you told truth." Yuanen Yehui's frown deepened and she spoke with a serious voice. "No, I want to believe you, but do you realize what you're saying?"
"I know. It sounds incredulous, but it really happened; Gu Yue tried to kill me." Sheng Feilong's expression was still calm and looked Yuanen Yehui directly into the eyes, waiting for her reaction. The latter hesitated for a moment, seemingly lost in thought before staring back at him. "...Why? For what reason would – or did – she attack you?"
"The Netherworld Putrefaction Demon." Sheng Feilong spoke bluntly, causing Yuanen Yehui to frown again. "Your Spirit Essence..?" The former nodded his head, reminding Yuanen Yehui of something. "I never told you guys that name, right? You also only heard it today. However, Gu Yue knew it. And she knew its history. Plus, she questioned me about it, with an unknown high ranked Soul Douluo in tow."
Yuanen Yehui stared at Sheng Feilong, still not knowing whether to believe him or not; Her expression openly showing this exact reaction, so Sheng Feilong just continued to speak. "I won't bore you with the details, but the Netherworld Putrefaction Demon is apparently something unfathomably and inherently evil and Gu Yue wanted to exterminate me before I become an evil Soul Mast. She thought it was inevitable, so killing me sooner instead of later would be easier."
After Sheng Feilong finished, Yuanen Yehui stayed silent for a long while. As a Soul Master with an evil Spirit Essence, she understood that what Sheng Feilong said about being hunted down wasn't uncommon. In fact, she was faced with the same situation, even inside of Shrek Academy; back then, Yue Zhengyu wanted to hunt her down for possessing the Fallen Angel Spirit Essence.
However, Yuanen couldn't believe that Gu Yue would do something like that; She, Tang Wulin and the other students of Shrek Academy never acted like that. Even Yue Zhengyu apologized for his actions and never tried anything again, despite it being his Clan's orders.
"But, they never did anything..." Yuanen Yehui finally said with some difficulty. She looked concerned and somewhat confused, but Sheng Feilong only smiled lightly. "To you, yes. However, you also know how much more dangerous and powerful the Netherworld Putrefaction Demon is. And you don't even know all the details about its origins."
Yuanen Yehui took a deep breath, then looked at Sheng Feilong with a frown again. "...Then what about Tang Wulin? You used him as a hostage?" Again, Sheng Feilong lightly nodded his head, his voice still calm. "Yes. After Master forced that high ranked Soul Douluo to flee, we captured Gu Yue, but she refused to talk, even when threatened with death. So I asked Tang Wulin to come to my room. Master knocked him out, and we used him as leverage to make Gu Yue speak. Ah, he wasn't injured, though. And he also doesn't know what's going on."
Sheng Feilong paused for half a second, then added with a low murmur. "..He probably hates me by now, though. I doubt Gu Yue ever explained it to him..."
Staring at him and noticing his saddened expression, Yuanen Yehui's expression softened somewhat. "Why don't you explain it to him, then..?" Sheng Feilong suddenly leaned back into his chair and scratched his head while showing an annoyed and conflicted expression. "...Master and I assume Shrek Academy is involved. And I don't want to get Tang Wulin into trouble because of this... Honestly, the less he knows, the better. I don't even know why I'm telling you all of this."
Yuanen Yehui's eyes widened slightly and she asked in a surprised voice. "Why would Shrek Academy be involved? Even if they were, they would help you, not send someone to kill you." Sheng Feilong sighed once more, then showed a serious expression again. "Where else could Gu Yue get all this information? I was a member of the Spirit pagoda as well, so I know for a fact that they don't have this kind of information. Even Daedalus, the organisation that is literally made of people with evil and dark Spirit Essences, didn't have any information about the Netherworld Putrefaction Demon."
He paused for a moment, both, Sheng Feilong and Yuanen Yehui, remaining silent in the meantime. "...I don't know how Shrek Academy got their hands on that information, but considering that they even produced about a handful of Gods in their 20.000 years of history, it isn't too unbelievable."
Yuanen Yehui hesitated for a while again. She glanced around to make sure that there was still no one listening in and then started to speak in a slightly lowered voice. "...I'm in a similar situation." Sheng Feilong looked at her, frowning with a questioning expression. "I can't tell you any details, but the Fallen Angel Spirit Essence is more special than how it appears. Shrek Academy is helping me with that, that's why I don't believe they would send someone to deal with you, even if they knew of your Spirit Essence."
"...So you're saying Gu Yue got this information from somewhere else?" Sheng Feilong's frown deepened, now understanding what Yuanen Yehui meant. The latter nodded, causing Sheng Feilong some confusion once again. "But where could she possibly get that information? Tang Sect, maybe? No, wait, she's not a member of Tang Sect."
"I also don't know, but I'm sure that Shrek Academy isn't involved, and if they are, they're definitely not the ones that sent Gu Yue and that Soul Douluo after you." Yuanen Yehui spoke with certainty. She believed what Sheng Feilong told her, but she wouldn't suspect Shrek Academy just because of it.
"Hm, what you're saying sounds reasonably. I guess I need to have people do some digging." A voice suddenly came from behind Yuanen Yehui and Sheng Feilong. Both of them flinched in shock and quickly turned around to face the unknown person, though theirs tiff expressions quickly relaxed. Sheng Feilong smiled, and lightly bowed his head. "Master, you surprised us..."
She Meixiao giggled lightly and walked over to their table, lightly sitting down next to them. "Sorry, I didn't mean to. However, I mean what I said; I'll have a few people investigate this matter thoroughly." Sheng Feilong smiled lightly at her words, but Yuanen Yehui still seemed uncomfortable with She Meixiao sudden appearance.
The latter smiled lightly at her and spoke up with a soft voice. "Don't worry, I already know about the Fallen Angel Spirit Soul's specifics. If I recall correctly, it was a 'Demon King', correct?" Yuanen Yehui's body suddenly shook lightly, but she still nodded her head.
She Meixiao smiled in response again and continued speaking. "I also know that Shrek Academy will help you and your clan with that. Though..." She paused for a moment and glanced at Sheng Feilong and Yuanen Yehui before speaking up again. "With Feilong here, Daedalus might even be the better choice... You saw how the demon's reacted to him. And although he's still weak, relatively speaking, once it comes to the time you need help, he'll probably be a Titled Douluo already."
She Meixiao's smile suddenly widened as she continued to speak with sparkling eyes. "Honestly, even I don't know just how powerful he'll be then! Though it's certain that the Netherworld Putrefaction Demon's suppression of demons is absolute. From what he know, it's actually the absolute bane of all demonic creatures."
By now, Yuanen Yehui was obviously very uncomfortable talking about this matter; So much so that Sheng Feilong stepped in to stop She Meixiao. "Master..." The latter stopped speaking, and glanced at Yuanen Yehui before smiling gently again. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to make you uncomfortable."
Yuanen Yehui remained silent, but nodded her head lightly. Before anyone started talking again, Yuanen Yehui slowly stood up and excused herself. She left just like that, stunning She Meixiao, who looked at Sheng Feilong with an apologetic expression.
However, Sheng Feilong onlylooked at her with a questioning gaze, then looked towards the direction where Yuanen Yehui. "Master... what was that about? What Demon King? And what does it have to do with Yuanen Yehui's cultivation base?"
She Meixiao smiled faintly, but didn't answer Sheng Feilong question. Instead, she asked one of her own. "Feilong, what would you think if I asked Yuanen Yehui to join us?" Sheng Feilong flinched, stunned by the sudden question. "Join us..? On the journey? But she's with Shrek Academy."
"I know. I just want to know what you think about her joining Daedalus." She Meixiao spoke in a serious tone, the smile on her face gone. Sheng Feilong looked at her for a moment, then answered resolutely. "You said I'd be able to help her in the future. I don't care about Shrek Academy, but if I can help her, then I want to do so. If she joined Daedalus, I... I'd be happy."
