Chapter 1373 - 1373 Yu Huang, You're So Cold-Hearted
1373 Yu Huang, You’re So Cold-Hearted
After listening to Yu Huang’s analysis of Zhan Wuya, Ye Qingyang suddenly sneered. After he picked up his wine glass and took a sip, he suddenly placed the wine glass on the glass table and pushed Sheng Xiao away.
After Sheng Xiao was pushed away, he lost his balance and almost fell from his high perch.
He put down his legs on the pedal in time and pressed them against the ground. Only then did he stabilize himself. After he sat up straight, he glanced at Ye Qingyang unhappily, but realized that Ye Qingyang was looking at Yu Huang with an indescribable gaze.
When his black eyes looked at Yu Huang, they were filled with disappointment, fear, and mockery.
Sheng Xiao was shocked by Ye Qingyang’s gaze.
“What…” Before Sheng Xiao could finish asking, Ye Qingyang spoke first. “Yu Huang.” Ye Qingyang looked straight at Yu Huang. Seeing that she was calm and unflappable, he sneered. “I used to think that you were very kind, but now, I think that you’re actually quite evil.”
Yu Huang looked up and stared at Ye Qingyang fearlessly. She knew what Ye Qingyang was thinking, but she still pretended to be puzzled and said, “How am I evil?”
Ye Qingyang’s gaze instantly became sharp as he pointed out, “Zhan Wuya was raised by Prime Emperor Jiuxiao since he was young, so he won’t doubt Prime Emperor Jiuxiao. The road under his feet seems flat and smooth, but he doesn’t know that there is a 10,000-meter deep pit in front of him!”
“Once he falls into the deep pit, he will be consigned to eternal damnation! As for you, you saw the deep pit in front of Zhan Wuya, but you refused to remind him! Yu Huang, even though you and Zhan Wuya aren’t good friends, we are still schoolmates who have been together for a period of time.”
Ye Qingyang hit the nail on the head. “Yu Huang, you’re really cold-hearted. Can you be so calm when something like this happens to someone around you? To protect yourself?” He wanted to ask, “If one day, I’m in the same situation as Zhan Wuya, will you also watch coldly without helping?”
However, Ye Qingyang felt that this question did not match his image as a ghostly cultivator big shot, so he did not say it.
Sheng Xiao felt that Ye Qingyang’s words were a little harsh. When he saw that Yu Huang’s expression had darkened, he knew that she was angry. Sheng Xiao activated his spiritual energy and was prepared to stop them in time if a fight broke out.
However, Yu Huang quickly calmed down. “In your opinion, I was watching coldly from the sidelines regarding Zhan Wuya’s matter, but how do you know that I didn’t secretly give him a way out?” Yu Huang’s tone was still calm, but her beautiful face was still very tense. Clearly, she was a little unhappy with Ye Qingyang’s evaluation.
Ye Qingyang was stunned when he heard her say that. “A way out…”
Could it be that Yu Huang had other plans?
The hostility in Ye Qingyang’s eyes faded a little. When he spoke again, his tone was much calmer. “What did you do?”
Yu Huang did not say it explicitly. She only said mysteriously, “Zhan Wuya chose the path himself, so he has to walk down it himself. Zhan Jiuxiao dug the pit for him and will keep thinking of a way to lure Zhan Wuya down. Currently, we can’t fill the 10,000-meter deep pit, nor can we make Zhan Wuya see the harsh truth.”
After Yu Huang opened her beautiful eyes, she looked at Sheng Xiao and Ye Qingyang as she said, “I laid a strong net under the deep pit, so if Zhan Wuya really jumps down, he won’t be hurt that badly.”
“This way, he can be safe and see the situation clearly.”
Upon hearing this, Ye Qingyang was silent for a long time before he took the initiative to apologize in a low voice. “I’m sorry. I was too harsh just now, but don’t blame me for being too harsh. I can’t read your mind. Even Sheng Xiao probably didn’t know about your arrangements. From my point of view, I do think you seem too cold and heartless.”
“I’m sorry. Please forgive me.”
Ye Qingyang was frank and direct.
If he said something wrong, he would apologize immediately.
If he could not stand something, he would uphold justice on the spot.
“With your personality, I really don’t know how you became a ghostly cultivator. I think you’re more suitable for being a lawyer,” Yu Huang teased. Seeing Ye Qingyang’s slightly awkward expression, she suddenly lamented, “I know what you’re really concerned about.”
Ye Qingyang was stunned and asked skeptically, “What?”
As Yu Huang swayed the fruit juice in the glass, she revealed what Ye Qingyang cared about the most. “Just as you said, Zhan Wuya and I aren’t good friends, but we are at least acquaintances who have been in the same school for a period of time. Similarly, although you and I are good friends, we don’t know each other’s background. What you really care about is whether I would watch coldly from the sidelines and protect myself if the person in a desperate situation was you and not Zhan Wuya.”
“You’re wondering about what I think of you and how much I care about you. You’re wondering if I, or rather, us, are worthy of your sincerity. Could our group be the second Jing Jiaren, the second Jing family?”
Ye Qingyang felt a little embarrassed that Yu Huang had guessed his thoughts accurately.
He subconsciously tightened his grip on the wine glass. There was a sentence that lingered on the tip of his tongue, but he did not have the courage to ask.
At this moment, he heard Yu Huang say, “Ye Qingyang, if you were that blind person walking on the plain, if there was a deep pit in front of you, I definitely wouldn’t watch coldly from the side and protect myself. I would tell you that there was a trap in front of you. If you don’t believe me, then even if I break your leg, I will bring you out of danger.”
“Because when it comes to real friends, I’ll never risk their lives.”
Upon hearing Yu Huang’s words, Ye Qingyang calmed down and snorted as he asked, “We’ve only known each other for a few months, but you already like me so much?” This ‘like’ did not have romantic implications. It was purely admiration and trust for one’s friend.
“If I said that you’re as important to me as Yin Rong and Xiao Shu, would you believe me?” Yu Huang suddenly asked.
Ye Qingyang was rendered speechless by Yu Huang’s question.
He gave Yu Huang a deep look. In the end, he didn’t say if he believed her or not. Instead, he lowered his head and took a sip of wine.
The taste of the wine suddenly became spicy.
Ye Qingyang choked on the wine and coughed.
