C2384 Concealment
"If that's the case, then that's great. Thank you, for helping me like this." Qi Tianyu didn't know what to say to thank Fang Min, but what Fang Min had done moved him greatly. They were originally just strangers to each other.
"I think this isn't just because of me right? If the soul of Lord Vermillion Bird really is inside my body, then it must be because she wants to help you. From the first time I saw you, I felt like something was very wrong. It didn't even seem like me. " Fang Min did not think deeply about these words, but they brought great shock to Qi Tianyu.
He thought of that dreamy dream he had had that night. The image of the Vermillion Bird was still flashing through his mind. Suddenly, he had a very selfish and terrifying thought.
If the Vermillion Bird's soul was truly in Fang Min's body, then would the Vermillion Bird have a chance of reviving?
Fang Min saw that his expression was strange and asked: "What's wrong with you?"
"Oh, nothing." Of course, he could not tell Fang Min his terrifying thoughts, otherwise, he might suspect that he had some kind of evil intentions towards him. Although he did have this idea, he definitely could not let Fang Min know about it.
Qi Tianyu told himself that the most urgent matter at hand right now wasn't this issue, but once this thought came out, he would completely be unable to dispel it.
He dejectedly returned to Sheng Ze's residence, and saw from afar that a lot of people had rebuilt the house here. Sheng Ze was in the hall discussing matters with a few elders. Seeing that Qi Tianyu had returned, Sheng Ze waved for him to come over.
"Emperor Zhu Tian, you have returned. We have already grasped the basics of the information, Lan Yuan is right, the people who destroyed the Withered Bone River are not people from the Vermillion Bird region. The formations they used are not things we can control."
"Oh, that's right. Since that's the case, you can continue checking." Qi Tianyu's thoughts were still on what Sheng Ze had said just now, and was not in the mood to listen to him speak any further.
After he finished speaking to the elder, he had arrived at Qi Tianyu's room.
"Emperor Zhu Tian, you don't seem to be right. Is there something wrong?" Sheng Ze went straight to the point.
Hearing him ask that, Qi Tianyu originally wanted to say it out loud, but the words stopped abruptly, he could not tell Sheng Ze the news. From the looks of Sheng Ze's infatuation towards the Vermillion Bird, he would definitely go ask Lan Yuan regardless of anything, and at that time, it would be troublesome.
"It's just that I haven't found out the method to break the Soul-taking Arts. I'm just a bit distracted.
"You don't have to be too anxious, from what I see, Lan Yuan doesn't seem to be doing anything big, maybe the elder exaggerated Lan Yuan's abilities, with his ability, he can't do anything big, and now that I'm back, able to restrain him, as long as we slowly find out his weakness and pull him down, it's fine." Sheng Ze was magnanimous to Qi Tianyu, in his opinion, Lan Yuan was not hiding anything, an earth-shattering event was being planned, if not, how come there was not even the slightest movement?
"Maybe." Qi Tianyu replied flatly.
After that, Sheng Ze left the room, leaving Qi Tianyu alone in his room as he gloomily looked out the window.
Soon after dark, he closed his eyes. As expected, not long after he entered his dreams, he felt the Vermillion Bird appear by her side. He could vaguely feel her soft hands and they laughed and laughed as if they had returned to the past. The Vermillion Bird still liked to talk to him, even though it was a small matter, it was still very interesting for Qi Tianyu to be able to be with it. It was a very happy period for him, and this period of time was already long gone.
In the dream, he felt so real. Everything he said to her seemed to have happened yesterday.
"Vermilion Bird, can I save you?" He knew that it was in his dreams, but Qi Tianyu could not help but ask this question.
"Tianyu, what are you talking about? Am I not right beside you? " The Vermilion Bird in his dream seemed to still be stuck at the same time from back then. The Vermilion Bird laughed as it rubbed its head, continuing to talk to him.
A strong light flashed past and he felt a sharp pain in his head. Qi Tianyu opened his eyes.
Looking at the familiar rooms, Qi Tianyu knew that he was dreaming this time around and it was not like last time.
"I'm afraid it has already become a demon." Qi Tianyu self-deprecatingly touched his head, feeling that it was covered in cold sweat. Since he couldn't sleep anyway, he could only sit up and meditate for a while.
It was already late in the night, but there were still sparse and scattered sounds coming from the surroundings of the Withered Bone River. These were not the elders that Sheng Ze had sent, but a group of people dressed in black, whose masks and faces only revealed a pair of eyes.
One of them, a tall and sturdy man with a strong voice said, "You want us to come back and investigate again? What is there to look at? Haven't we already destroyed most of it?"
"Boss, if you say so, then we'll just do it. It's not like we'll take up much of your time, so what are you complaining about?" Another person with a short stature and a sense of age spoke. Although he looked like an old man, his voice was that of a young man, which sounded very out of place.
"Do you really have to go against me? "No matter what I say, you just have to say it, do you really not like me!?" The tall and sturdy young man was dissatisfied and shouted at him.
"Don't quarrel here, you might attract someone." The two of them stopped talking and looked around. Seeing that they did not cause any commotion, they started to look around the Withered Bone River again.
"I've been looking at it for almost four hours now, but I still haven't found anything. Now, we should return quickly!" The tall and sturdy young man said.
"Wait, look at what this is?" The Shorty suddenly squatted down and dug into the riverbed that had not completely dried up yet. A round and heavy bead that was covered in mud rolled out.0
"It's not like it's anything good. It's just trash left behind by those Elders who are not completely dead yet." The burly man rolled his eyes. He had no interest in looking at them.
"This is not trash. Look at the color, it doesn't look like an ordinary thing." Shorty used his own clothes to wipe off the mud on the bead, and a purple pearl appeared before everyone's eyes, shining extremely gently yet not dazzling, like the moonlight, illuminating half of the Withered Bone River in an instant.
