Hu Mei'er arranged a two storied pavilion for Chen Xiao. Only, Chen Xiao was restricted to stay downstairs, and the three girls' rooms were upstairs, so he was not allowed to casually go up. To put it bluntly, Xiao Ling had continued to treat him coldly after pulling Qing Xuan along.
Other than feeling helpless, Chen Xiao could only accept his fate.
Sitting in the courtyard, the moon was very round tonight, and the stars were shining in the night sky. The night was beautiful. To Chen Xiao, the person beside him was safe and sound, which made him feel a sense of relief.
"Chen Xiao." Zhuang Yu's voice came from behind him. Turning his head, he saw that he was alone.
Regarding Xiao Ling and Yue Yao's appearance during the day, Chen Xiao had already figured it out. Xiao Ling and the others wanted to find Chen Xiao and ask him about this. In the end, Zhuang Yu did not hide anything and directly told them about Chen Xiao coming to Nine Tailed Fox Village.
When he heard that Chen Xiao had actually forgotten to run over to Fox Village, Xiao Ling immediately became nervous. Naturally, he brought Yue Yao here at the first moment. She did not expect to run into the scene of Chen Xiao and Qing Xuan embracing each other.
"What's wrong? What's the matter? " Zhuang Yu thought that something must have happened for Zhuang Yu to come to find him at this time.
However, Zhuang Yu sat down beside Chen Xiao, picked up his wine gourd and drank from it, then gave it to Chen Xiao: "I've been back for so long, yet I haven't drunk any wine with you."
Smiling, Chen Xiao caught the wine gourd and gulped down a large mouthful as well. The wine brewed by Zhuang Yu had always been strong. But...
"Good wine." Chen Xiao praised her. He couldn't help but think back to three thousand years ago, when the few of them would often gather together to drink. That was the happiest period of his life. His friends were good and his beauty was accompanying him. Unfortunately, right now …
Zhuang Yu took the wine gourd and drank another mouthful. Only then did he speak: "Door of War God is already on the right track, as long as we stabilize the development later on, it will be fine. However, do you have any plans regarding the Four Beast Alliance? They are, after all, an even more powerful force. Perhaps if the entire Three Realms join forces, they might not be a match for him. "
Saying this, Zhuang Yu's face revealed a hint of worry.
Chen Xiao directly shook his head, "I don't have any plans. You know, I don't seem to like to think too much about this sort of thing. Since I have already fought with them, the next step is to work hard to increase my strength and defeat them. "
Hearing Chen Xiao's reply, Zhuang Yu couldn't help but be taken aback. He stared at him for a good while before laughing again, "Hehe, I didn't expect that you would still be the same after I reincarnated. Sometimes I really wonder if you ever got scared. Regardless of whether it was back then or now, you would never be afraid of the opponent, no matter how difficult or powerful they were. "
Chen Xiao shrugged. "Don't say that. I still have times to be afraid. However, when I am afraid, I will think of how to eliminate this fear. And the easiest way is to become stronger. As long as you become stronger than what you fear, then you will no longer be afraid. "
Chen Xiao's words could not help but cause him to fall into deep thought. It wasn't just the meaning contained within these words, but also the fact that when Chen Xiao said these words, his tone contained an vicissitudes of life and disappointment.
There was a short silence. After a long while, Chen Xiao reached out to grab the wine gourd, and after drinking another mouthful, he spoke again, "Zhuang Yu, what happened after I died three thousand years ago, do you know?"
When he asked this question, Chen Xiao's expression clearly became solemn.
The matter from three thousand years ago had always been a big doubt in Chen Xiao's heart. Before he left the Wind Moon Continent, this suspicion had already existed. Furthermore, as Chen Xiao found more clues, he started to pay more attention to it.
"This... Actually, I don't know much. When I realized that something was amiss, you had already annihilated all ten of the sects in the six domains at that time, and then, you had issued a challenge to all of the experts in the six domains. " Zhuang Yu paused for a moment, before answering even Chen Xiao's question. Only, his answer, was not much different from what Chen Xiao had heard.
"I already know that. Actually, there was a place behind me that had happened during the great battle. I met the remnant souls that survived the great battle back then and learned all of this from them, as well as … Daylight's body. " As he finished speaking, Chen Xiao's expression flashed with sorrow. When Zhuang Yu heard this, he suddenly froze.
"Daybreak!?" He … He's dead? " Zhuang Yu's voice trembled. Except, he'd long since guessed this situation. In the past three thousand years, he had gone to find Daylight more than once, but none of them had been able to find him.
Chen Xiao said as he nodded his head heavily, "So I really do care about what happened back then. According to the remnant souls, they were killed by me. But I was already framed and killed by Ling Xiao long ago, so I can't possibly do those things again. "
"So someone did those things while pretending to be you?" Zhuang Yu's expression became serious as well. When he first heard of Chen Xiao doing so many things, his first reaction was thought that it was impossible. Because Chen Xiao had no reason to do all those things, but after repeated investigations, all the information pointed to Chen Xiao as the culprit.
And this result made Zhuang Yu extremely disappointed in Chen Xiao.
Fortunately, after Chen Xiao and Yue Yao had disappeared, the appearance of the Extermination Sect and Ling Xiao's methods made Zhuang Yu realize that something was wrong. Afterwards, he carried out another investigation and gradually discovered that the matter from before was not simple. After that, there would be the alliance between him, Murong Xiangtian, Hu Mei'er, and Bai Fan.
Unfortunately, even though the four of them were together, they were still unable to find much of what had happened. It was as if someone had purposely concealed those things, making it impossible for them to find any clues.
Now that Chen Xiao had brought up this matter, Zhuang Yu felt that he should have a chance to learn more.
But Chen Xiao only shook his head, and did not say much. This caused Zhuang Yu to be stunned again: Only shaking his head?
"What's wrong? Anything else? " Zhuang Yu could only ask again.
This time, Chen Xiao didn't try to hide anything, and told him everything he knew. From the moment the demons treated him as the Black Dragon's Holy Envoy, to the experiences in the huge stone dimension, etc.
After hearing what Chen Xiao had to say, Zhuang Yu was shocked. If what Chen Xiao had said was all true, then there were only two possibilities that he could think of: either that those things were done by someone else using Chen Xiao's body, or that Chen Xiao existed with two minds, and the rest of the things were done by Chen Xiao's other consciousness.
