【Looking at the Blue Sea Tide Summoning Technique handed over by Ye Yu, Luo Ning was deeply moved.】
【She quickly took it and began to carefully examine it.】
【Once confirmed genuine, a relieved smile finally appeared on her face.】
【She held it close to her chest with both hands and sincerely said to Ye Yu, “Thank you.”】
【Ye Yu only shook his head slightly in response.】
【Helping Luo Ning retrieve the Blue Sea Tide Summoning Technique was a matter previously agreed upon.】
【This time, if Luo Ning hadn’t helped again,】
【Ye Wanqing would surely have been captured.】
【At that moment, Ye Yu would have been constrained.】
【So, the one who should be thanked now was really Ye Yu himself.】
【Just as he was considering whether to retrieve something from the Conscience Workshop as a reward,】
【he noticed Luo Ning seemed hesitant to speak.】
【Ye Yu decisively said, “Speak up. We’re no strangers now—after all, Ye Wanqing calls you sister-in-law!”】
【Luo Ning instantly blushed and shot Ye Yu an annoyed look.】
【Honestly, although there were many rumors about the two of them on Yingning Mountain,】
【as the people involved, they both felt quite helpless.】
【Unexpectedly, Ye Yu brought it up himself this time.】
【This made Luo Ning both annoyed and amused.】
【If they truly used the name Ye Wanqing called her, then indeed there was no distance between them.】
【In that case, why be so shy?】
【After realizing this, Luo Ning immediately took out paper and pen and began writing.】
【“That giant ape manifestation just now — was that created by you?”】
【Ye Yu looked at the question on the paper and did not deny it, nodding: “Yes, it was me.”】
【Upon receiving confirmation, Luo Ning’s eyes brightened.】
【When Ye Yu fought Yang Xiao before, that white-haired giant ape’s invincible figure left an indelible impression on her.】
【If she could ask Ye Yu to come back together, maybe all problems would be easily solved!】
【Luo Ning raised her eyebrows slightly and began writing again.】
【But halfway through, she suddenly stopped.】
【“Mother despises outside demons most.”】
【“If I really invite Ye Yu back to help, Mother certainly won’t agree.”】
【“Forget it, it’s better to handle my own troubles myself.”】
【Luo Ning lowered her head slightly, then erased all she had written.】
【She took a new sheet and wrote again: “The giant ape manifestation is very powerful. I have matters to attend to, I’ll leave first.”】
【Ye Yu read the words and felt utterly confused.】
【What’s this about? Just a single sentence saying it’s powerful and that’s all?】
【Ye Yu gave a bitter smile but looked up again, only to find Luo Ning had already left.】
【At that moment,】
【he didn’t think much /N_o_v_e_l_i_g_h_t/ of it, assuming Luo Ning just wanted to start practicing the technique as soon as possible.】
【Indeed, becoming stronger is the obsession of all demons, isn’t it?】
【Ye Yu shook his head slightly and strode toward the distance.】
【Two months later.】
【With financial support from the Conscience Workshop, Ye Yu smoothly entered the early Golden Demon Realm.】
【During this period, the demon world was notably peaceful.】
【Meanwhile, Feng Zhenxin’s reputation soared once more.】
【The reason was simple: the bounty of five million demon stones was suddenly withdrawn.】
【No announcement, no word to any demon about who claimed the bounty.】
【It simply vanished without reason.】
【All demons speculated whether Feng Zhenxin had reached a reconciliation with Red Dawn Sheep Lord, thus canceling the bounty.】
【But some things could never be hidden.】
【Five days after the bounty was canceled, the missing Red Dawn Sheep Lord Yang Xiao still hadn’t appeared.】
【Yet demons spotted a chaotic scene deep in remote mountains, along with fragments of the sheep emblem from Yang Xiao’s waist.】
【Based on these signs, demons immediately judged that Yang Xiao likely hadn’t reconciled with the Conscience Workshop.】
【The bounty was withdrawn because he was already dealt with.】
【This conclusion immediately caused a huge uproar in the demon world.】
【It must be known that Red Dawn Sheep Lord Yang Xiao was no ordinary peak Golden Demon Realm demon.】
【He had two fellow disciples, dog demon Lu Ye and ox demon Zhou Zichuan.】
【The three were as close as blood brothers, known as blood-drinking brothers, inseparable.】
【Killing Yang Xiao was tantamount to making mortal enemies with Lu Ye and Zhou Zichuan.】
【Most importantly, these three had a master.】
【Their master was a top-tier current powerhouse, Demon Lord Xiang Muchen.】
【No matter how strong the Conscience Workshop was, it couldn’t bear the consequences of this.】
【For a time, countless demons had already prepared to watch how this incident would develop.】
【Unexpectedly,】
【there was no follow-up.】
【Lu Ye, Zhou Zichuan, and even Demon Lord Xiang Muchen all ignored Yang Xiao’s death.】
【Brother’s death, disciple’s hatred—just passed quietly like that?】
【What does this mean?】
【The only explanation was that behind the Conscience Workshop stood an extremely terrifying existence.】
【So terrifying that even a top powerhouse like Xiang Muchen dared not raise a complaint, choosing silence instead.】
【At first, some guessed it might be Huannianhe, lord of Jian Demon City.】
【But soon this possibility was denied.】
【Huannianhe was also a top powerhouse, but wouldn’t cause Xiang Muchen to keep silent.】
【Besides, he had already entered seclusion before Yang Xiao died.】
【He couldn’t have supported Feng Zhenxin.】
【That meant the Conscience Workshop’s backing was even more terrifying.】
【The Conscience Workshop’s reputation in the demon world soared continuously.】
【Insiders spread rumors that behind Feng Zhenxin stood a peak Demon Lord Realm demon.】
【With power enough to suppress the entire current demon world.】
【The Conscience Workshop never responded to such rumors.】
【They simply focused on searching for rare heavenly materials and top cultivation manuals.】
【Leaving the demon world with an aura of inscrutable profundity.】
【Now, demons working for the Conscience Workshop carried an air of superiority.】
【Perhaps that was the security brought by their powerful backing.】
【But they didn’t know that the monkey demon behind Feng Zhenxin, Ye Yu, was also very curious about all this.】
【Ye Yu sat on the highest seat of the Conscience Workshop, curiously looking at Feng Zhenxin.】
【“Tell me, why did Yang Xiao’s brothers and master not say a word?”】
【“Could it be that you really have a powerful expert behind you?”】
