At this moment, Tang Hao had no idea that the "Blue Silver Emperor" before him was merely an ordinary Blue Silver Grass!
The real Blue Silver Emperor, Ah Yin, had already become Su Ming's spirit soul and disappeared from sight. That was why the "Blue Silver Emperor" in front of Tang Hao was behaving so strangely.
If Tang Hao had the ability to communicate with the Blue Silver Grass, the truth would surely be exposed, but alas, he did not.
One year from now, when Tang Hao returns and finds that his Ah Yin has turned into an ordinary Blue Silver Grass, how will he react?
Meanwhile, Su Ming and Xiao Wu had already transferred to a secluded area in Nuoding Academy—a place where they often trained together. It was their exclusive space, where no one dared to disturb them.
Xiao Wu was openly acknowledged as the leader of the students at Nuoding Academy, while Su Ming was secretly known as the one who truly held power.
Upon arrival, both of them instantly relaxed, and Ah Yin also emerged from her spirit ring, gazing at Su Ming.
Xiao Wu curiously asked her earlier question, "Su Ming-ge, what was that thing you replaced the Blue Silver Emperor's right leg bone with? How could it look so identical in appearance and aura?"
Su Ming smiled and explained, "That item is also a spirit bone, but it's only a century-old Blue Silver Grass right leg bone. As for how I got it, that's a secret I can't tell either of you. It's the one thing I can't share."
Ah Yin and Xiao Wu thought to themselves: "As if we don't know! This thing was definitely given by the system. How could a Blue Silver Grass drop a century-old spirit bone? That's nearly impossible!"
Then they heard Su Ming continue, "Although it's just a century-old spirit bone, I used a special method to make its aura and appearance exactly the same as Ah Yin's ten-thousand-year spirit bone!"
Ah Yin, perplexed, mentally communicated with Su Ming and Xiao Wu, "I'm not sure why you'd go to such lengths. Wouldn't it be simpler to just take the real one without leaving a fake?"
Su Ming chuckled coldly, "Ah Yin, believe me, if I didn't leave a fake behind, Tang Hao would slaughter the entire village. You may not believe me now, but time will prove me right. I know him better than you do."
Su Ming was right. Initially, when Tang Hao discovered his spirit power mark had disappeared, he indeed had the thought of wiping out the whole village. To him, the lives of the villagers were worth far less than a ten-thousand-year spirit bone.
After all, they were just ordinary people without any spirit power. What difference would it make if they were gone?
Su Ming continued, "Also, do you really think your sacrifice was a coincidence? Why did Tang Hao keep dragging you around, even when you were pregnant? Anyone with common sense would know to hide and wait until after the birth."
"Being a member of the Clear Sky Clan, Tang Hao would certainly understand this. Besides, his spirit power had just reached level 90, making your sacrifice possible. Doesn't that seem like too much of a coincidence?"
"If his spirit power had only been at level 87 or 88, you wouldn't have been able to sacrifice yourself, and all three of you would've died together. And yet, the previous Pope of the Spirit Hall, Qian Xunji, just happened to find you. Have you never questioned any of these strange coincidences?"
Ah Yin trembled, her whole body shaking. Although she had already learned this from Su Ming's diary, hearing it from his mouth was still hard to accept.
She tried to defend her thoughts, saying, "But after my sacrifice, Hao became so despondent, drinking all the time. He wasn't like that before."
It was clear that Ah Yin was trying to convince herself of Tang Hao's sincerity.
Seeing this, Su Ming thought it was time to add more fuel to the fire. Coldly, he replied, "I don't know why he acted that way, but what's to say he wasn't pretending? If he truly felt guilty, why would he leave you in such a damp, dark place instead of bringing you to the Blue Silver Emperor's ancestral land where you could recover faster?"
Ah Yin was startled. "How do you know about the ancestral land of the Blue Silver Emperor?"
Though Ah Yin knew about it, she decided to play dumb for now.
Su Ming replied, "You're the emperor of a race. How could you not have an ancestral land? That would be laughable."
Su Ming gave his final remark, "Anyway, I've said what I needed to say. Once you regain your ten-thousand-year cultivation and can take human form again, I'll let you go back and ask Tang Hao directly. Then you'll know what kind of person he truly is. I just feel bad for you."
Xiao Wu, who had been silent for a while, finally spoke up. "Aunt Ah Yin, I think Su Ming-ge makes some sense. You should think it over carefully. After all, we're the same. Both of us are ten-thousand-year-old spirit beasts in human form. We're on the same side!"
Ah Yin looked at Su Ming and Xiao Wu with a complicated expression before retreating back into the spirit ring. She needed time to process everything.
Once Ah Yin disappeared, Su Ming turned to Xiao Wu and said, "Let's go. We should get some rest. In a few days, we'll head to Shrek Academy. I'm really curious to see if this academy is as amazing as the master claims. I hope it won't disappoint me!"
Xiao Wu couldn't help but think to herself, You already know what Shrek Academy looks like. And if it were that amazing, why would it be located in such a remote area?
Still, Xiao Wu was intrigued. According to the master, Shrek Academy's principal was his brother, a member of the Golden Iron Triangle with a formidable level of 78. That was impressive, far stronger than most academy principals.
As Su Ming and Xiao Wu made their way back to their dormitory, Su Ming started writing in his diary. He hadn't written in it yet today, and after all the excitement from earlier, he felt the need to unwind.
He hoped the system would grant him more transfer talismans. Over the past few years, he had only received one, and it was by far the most useful of all the talismans he owned.
Diary Entry:
[Today, Xiao Wu and I returned from Holy Spirit Village. In a few days, we'll head to Shrek Academy. I can't wait to meet little witch Ning Rongrong and the cat-like Zhu Zhuqing!]
Ning Rongrong, upon reading this, thought to herself, I've been looking forward to this for a long time. If it weren't for the system's rules, I might have already gone to Nuoding Academy to meet Su Ming.
