Chapter 1289 Tell Me, Is She Sincere?

During this period of time, Feng Yuncheng had been cultivating the Phantom Transformation Technique in the training area and stayed out all night frequently.

Beatrice had also been undergoing demonic training recently.

When Beatrice's professor found out that Beatrice's Buddha Pagoda cultivation technique had a total of nine moves, and that she had only learned the first move, the Nine-Layered Divine Pagoda, she realized that Beatrice had immeasurable potential.

Therefore, Beatrice's professor planned to personally supervise Beatrice's cultivation. She swore that he would let Beatrice completely master the Buddha Pagoda cultivation technique before she graduated.

She was confident that Beatrice could rank within the top hundred of the inner academy big shots during the graduation assessment.

Therefore, Beatrice had been busy for the past two days.

When it was almost midnight, Ye Qingyang left the desolate place on time and returned to the lake island villa.

After Ye Qingyang pushed open the door and saw that Sheng Xiao and Yu Huang seemed to be waiting for him in the living room, he frowned.

Something was wrong.

Ye Qingyang closed the door calmly, changed into his slippers, and walked towards the sofa in the living room.

After sitting down, he glanced at the clock on the wall first.

It was 11:50 PM.

There were still ten minutes before the burning pain would flare up.

Recently, with Yu Huang's help, Ye Qingyang's flare-up was no longer as intense as before. Previously, he had been tortured until his nerves were numb. Ye Qingyang was used to it, so he didn't think much of it. However, once his body experienced being pain-free, he refused to continue enduring the torture like before.

After Ye Qingyang glanced at Yu Huang and Sheng Xiao's interlocked hands, he pursed his lips and said, "There are still ten minutes before my chronic illness flares up. If you have something to say, say it now. Don't force me to submit when my body is being tortured."

"What are you talking about?" Yu Huang rolled her eyes and said, "Do I look like that kind of person?"

Ye Qingyang stared at Yu Huang seriously for a moment before nodding solemnly as he said, "Yes."

Yu Huang was speechless.

Sheng Xiao chuckled as he said, "Ye Qingyang, I need your help with something."

Ye Qingyang crossed his arms and looked at Sheng Xiao without saying anything.

He didn't seem like he was willing to help Sheng Xiao.

Yu Huang said, "Do you still remember? Back then, when you asked me to treat your chronic illness, I sincerely invited you to join the Monster Sect, but you rejected me, so I changed my condition and asked you to help me do five things. You agreed to this condition."

As if he was angered by Yu Huang's words, Ye Qingyang's lips curled into a cold smile.

"Sincere invitation?" Ye Qingyang snorted at Sheng Xiao and said, "When your woman invited me to join the Monster Sect, she generously promised to let me become the second disciple of the Monster Sect. Tell me, was she sincere?"

Sheng Xiao had never heard the mention of this.

When Yu Huang was making a deal with Ye Qingyang, Sheng Xiao was busy challenging the elite academy students.

Sheng Xiao turned to look at Yu Huang with a questioning gaze.

Yu Huang shrugged and nodded in acknowledgment. "Yes, I said that before. That's because I know very well that it's impossible for a person like Ye Qingyang to join an unknown small sect like ours. I was just teasing him."

Ye Qingyang was speechless.

Helpless, Sheng Xiao apologized to Ye Qingyang, "I'm sorry, but my lover is a little naughty."

Ye Qingyang said, "She's not just a little naughty. She's very naughty."

"I didn't expect you, Ye Qingyang, to be a man who likes to dig up old scores." Yu Huang's tone was filled with disdain.

Ye Qingyang snorted again.

Sheng Xiao glared at Yu Huang reproachfully and said, "Be more serious."

Only then did Yu Huang adjust her attitude.

She asked Ye Qingyang, "Let me ask you, does the deal still count?"

Ye Qingyang felt that helping Yu Huang do five things was too much of a loss, so he said, "No, I choose to join the Monster Sect and become a disciple." Then, he cupped his hands at Sheng Xiao and Yu Huang. "Sect Master, First Elder, I've just entered the sect, so please forgive me if I offend you or make any mistakes."

Yu Huang and Sheng Xiao were rendered speechless by Ye Qingyang's actions.

Sheng Xiao looked at Ye Qingyang and Yu Huang in amusement as he thought to himself, 'Yu Huang, you've met your match today.'

However, how could Yu Huang be so easy to defeat?

She nodded and took out a black pearl bracelet from her interspatial ring.

When Sheng Xiao saw the bracelet, she recognized it immediately. Su Xuanye used Na Luo to give it to Anna to induce her demonic transformation. However, Su Xuanye and Na Luo were dead, so the bracelet no longer harbored any danger.

Now, this bracelet was just a simple Divine Bracelet that could help people sleep soundly.

As Yu Huang stared at the bracelet in a daze for a while, she thought of Na Luo.

Shaking her head, Yu Huang said to Ye Qingyang, "Since you've entered the Monster Sect and become the second disciple of the Monster Sect, from now on, we're family. I don't have anything special, but this bracelet is made of black pearls from the deepest part of the deep sea. It has the effect of calming one's soul and helping one sleep."

Yu Huang looked at Ye Qingyang lovingly as she stuffed the bracelet into Ye Qingyang's palm. Then, she patted his arm and said with a smile, "It's a token of appreciation. I hope you don't dislike this gift."

Ye Qingyang didn't expect Yu Huang to actually push her luck with her identity as the 'First Elder'.

He was speechless and vexed.

"I chose to help you do five things instead." Ye Qingyang didn't want to become allies with this group of freaks.

However, Yu Huang clenched Ye Qingyang's fingers tightly and held the bracelet tightly as she said firmly, "What are you saying? You said yourself that you were willing to join the Monster Sect and I even gave you a greeting gift, so how can you go back on your words?"

"Ye Qingyang, if you really do this, how is it different from Jing Jiaren backtracking on your engagement act back then? Could it be that you also want to be a person who goes back on his words like the Jing family and Jing Jiaren?"

Yu Huang's words completely blocked off Ye Qingyang's escape route.

Ye Qingyang snorted. "How cunning!"

He shook off Yu Huang's hand and threw the bracelet into his interspatial ring in disdain. Sensing a dull pain in his chest, he looked up at the clock on the wall and said in a low voice, "It's twelve o'clock." His old illness was starting to act up.

Yu Huang stared at Ye Qingyang's chest for a moment before suddenly saying, "Ye Qingyang, tonight, I'll help you completely extinguish the flames in the phantom core so that you won't have to endure the pain of the flames burning your body anymore."

Ye Qingyang was delighted, but he didn't show it on his face.

He asked Yu Huang, "Can you really do it?"

Nodding her head, Yu Huang said, "Before I entered seclusion, I promised you that after my seclusion ended and I successfully broke through to the Grand Master Realm, I would be confident enough to completely cure your old illness. Tonight is the best chance."

Ye Qingyang asked her, "Why tonight?"

Yu Huang looked out the window and said, "The moon is the brightest tonight." After she came to the window and pushed it open, she looked up at the starry sky and saw that the starlight was even more dazzling than usual.

Nighttime was when all the living beings in the world gathered to relax.

Such a night was when psychic power was at its peak.
