"Scram."
Leng Xingzhi let out a soft snort, and all the demonic creatures and the person called the Demon Crone vanished without a trace.
"Senior Brother."
Chu Lingwei was shocked by what had just happened. Why were these demons so afraid of her Senior Brother? It was simply unbelievable.
"Weiwèi, are you hurt?"
Leng Xingzhi turned around and reached out to support Chu Lingwei, smiling with a hint of helplessness. "You, you always run into such big trouble when I'm not by your side."
"Senior Brother."
Chu Lingwei was inwardly startled. She had used her spatial powers to become invisible, and no one could have detected her. Even those at the Dominator realm couldn't sense her presence, yet Senior Brother had found her so easily.
What was even more important was that he could pass through the barrier of spatial powers and reach her.
What kind of terrifying ability was this?
"What, you don't even recognize your Senior Brother?"
Leng Xingzhi breathed a sigh of relief. When he realized Chu Lingwei was in the Demon Crone's territory, his heart had almost dropped out of his chest. Weiwèi's cultivation was so weak; it was truly worrying.
Removing the barrier, Chu Lingwei looked at Senior Brother before her. "Senior Brother, who exactly are you?"
A disciple of a Spiritual Cultivation Academy couldn't possibly have a cultivation stronger than the Dominator realm. She had begun to doubt if the person before her was truly her Senior Brother.
"Junior Sister, don't you trust your Senior Brother?"
"It's not that, I just don't believe in Senior Brother's identity." Chu Lingwei shook her head. She felt that Leng Xingzhi's identity might even be fake.
"Let's go, we'll talk about it after we leave here."
Leng Xingzhi took Chu Lingwei and stepped onto a spiritual sword, leaving the cave. Soon, they appeared on a mountain peak. "Just now, I was searching for you right here. I should have found you sooner."
"Senior Brother, who are you?" Chu Lingwei pursed her lips, looking at Leng Xingzhi. The Senior Brother from moments ago had made her feel a sense of killing intent.
"Junior Sister, I am your Senior Brother, and I will always be your Senior Brother. I never intended to harm you." Leng Xingzhi took a step closer to Chu Lingwei, his eyes filled with affection. "Weiwèi, your Senior Brother has never lied to you."
"Never lied to me?"
Chu Lingwei smiled. It seemed her Senior Brother still didn't want to reveal his identity. "When we were in the Spirit Domain, you completely tricked me."
Leng Xingzhi: "..."
As expected, Junior Sister had guessed it long ago.
"Junior Sister, even in the Spirit Domain, I never intended to deceive you."
"You destroyed the Spirit Domain." Chu Lingwei snorted. She had always found that person called Wuming a bit strange, his gaze towards her peculiar. So, he was indeed her Senior Brother.
"Yes, it shouldn't have existed." httpδ:/m.kuAisugg.nět
Leng Xingzhi looked into the distance, a ball of demonic energy swirling in his eyes. This made Chu Lingwei take a step back. "Senior Brother, your eyes?"
Chu Lingwei could see clearly. The eyes of Senior Brother just now contained demonic energy. She could distinguish between true demonic energy and illusionary demonic energy.
"Junior Sister, are you afraid of me?" Leng Xingzhi's heart ached. Weiwèi was actually afraid of him.
"No, it's just..." Chu Lingwei looked at her Senior Brother with a complex expression. Could he be... No, how could Senior Brother be a demon? She couldn't believe it.
"Just what?"
Leng Xingzhi reached out and gently stroked Chu Lingwei's cheek. The demonic energy in his eyes did not dissipate, carrying a hint of affection as he gazed intently into Chu Lingwei's eyes. "Weiwèi, don't be afraid of your Senior Brother."
"Senior Brother!"
Chu Lingwei's heart pounded. The affection in Senior Brother's eyes was not hidden at all; Chu Lingwei saw it clearly.
"Weiwèi, you'll know in the future." Leng Xingzhi sighed softly and stepped back. The demonic energy in his eyes gradually subsided, and his face returned to its usual gentle demeanor. "Weiwèi, your Senior Brother has always admired Junior Sister."
Chu Lingwei felt as if her head had exploded, leaving her mind blank.
She had never imagined that Senior Brother would confess his feelings to her in the demon realm, and that he might be a demon himself.
"Senior Brother, I have something to do." Chu Lingwei took a deep breath, summoned her flying artifact, and quickly departed.
No, she had to leave this place and think about this matter properly.
Leng Xingzhi watched his Junior Sister disappear before him, a hint of helplessness flashing in his eyes. Was Junior Sister afraid of him just now?
After flying for half a day, Chu Lingwei's body went limp, and she sat down on her flying artifact.
"Weiwèi, what's wrong? Your heart is very chaotic right now."
The Phantom Cat appeared before Chu Lingwei, looking at her with concern. "Are you afraid of Senior Brother?"
"Maomao, tell me, do you know Senior Brother's true identity?"
Chu Lingwei looked at the Phantom Cat. As a spiritual beast, he should have discovered Senior Brother's true identity earlier.
"I don't know, I didn't sense anything." The Phantom Cat lowered its head, its eyes full of self-reproach. It had also been startled when it saw Senior Brother's identity just now. "However, a few times, Senior Brother made me feel scared. I only know that Senior Brother should be extremely powerful, more so than those Dominator realm experts."
"How could this be?"
Chu Lingwei slumped. She had considered many possible identities for Senior Brother, but never this one.
Moreover, Senior Brother's confession had made her heart feel a little fearful. For a moment, she couldn't distinguish whether Senior Brother was speaking the truth or lying.
"Weiwèi, are you afraid of Senior Brother?" the Phantom Cat asked, looking at Chu Lingwei. She didn't seem afraid in her current state.
"Not afraid."
Chu Lingwei thought about the question seriously. The first reaction she had upon seeing the demonic energy in Senior Brother's eyes was shock.
She might have been scared, but not of Senior Brother himself, but of him deceiving her.
"Then that's good. As long as you're not afraid of Senior Brother, isn't that enough?" The Phantom Cat's eyes held a hint of confusion. If Weiwèi wasn't afraid of Senior Brother, could they return to how things were before?
Chu Lingwei looked at the Phantom Cat. Could things really be as he said?
"Weiwèi, I admire you."
As Chu Lingwei recalled this sentence, her heart began to pound uncontrollably, and her face turned red.
"Weiwèi, your face is so red!"
Seeing Chu Lingwei's complexion, the Phantom Cat couldn't help but exclaim.
"I'm fine." Chu Lingwei touched her face and calmly turned her head away, not allowing him to see her face. Thinking that these words had come from Senior Brother, Chu Lingwei felt her heart heat up uncontrollably.
"Weiwèi, what do we do now?"
Chu Lingwei had stayed in this place for three days, sitting on their flying artifact, neither advancing nor retreating.
"I don't know."
Chu Lingwei answered honestly. She had entered this place to search for traces of her father, but her tracking talisman had been completely ineffective.
"Ah, how about we go find Senior Brother?" the Phantom Cat asked cautiously.
