Nangong Jingtang possessed a strange art, the Five-colored Divine Light (which could compel all things and discern good from evil)
Under the illumination of the Five-colored Divine Light, the aura of every living being revealed different hues
The lighter the color, the purer the heart
The darker, the more corrupt the intent
When Nangong Jingtang first unleashed the Five-colored Divine Light, she clearly saw that all the ladies of Wuwei Tower reflected pure white light
But Niu Ge and the others shone with blackness
This proved those three demon clansmen had ill intent
Hence her earlier inquiry
Under her gaze, Niu Ge involuntarily stepped back half a pace but remained silent about what had happened
Seeing this, Nangong Jingtang tired of words and directly employed the Soul Search Technique (a soul-probing ritual)
After confirming their rashness, she did not hesitate
She re-illuminated them with the Five-colored Divine Light, erasing those three demons completely
When it was done, Nangong Jingtang turned away and said in a low voice “My apologies for not understanding the situation sooner and offending you all
Zhu, may you and Ye Yu be forever united in heart”
Hearing this, Dong Kui, Jiang Jinhe, and the others were utterly baffled
You’d already won the battle, yet suddenly you killed those three demons and offered apologies? What on earth?
Before Jiang Jinhe could speak, Nangong Jingtang’s figure disappeared as if she’d never appeared at all
With her departure, Jiang Yumo regained her freedom
The four women gathered, brows furrowed, unable to fathom Nangong Jingtang’s strange behavior
At that moment, two figures suddenly appeared at the gate of Wuwei Tower Sect
They were Ye Yu and Yue Wanqiu, having just come from the demon realm
Truly, the restoration of the Five Realms Passage was a blessing
In an instant one could traverse between worlds—immensely convenient
Seeing Jiang Jinhe and Dong Kui outside, Ye Yu asked curiously “What are you doing here”
Jiang Jinhe did not hide it and recounted the events
Dong Kui added “That woman even took my Justice Textbook away”
Upon hearing this, Yue Wanqiu immediately guessed the woman was Nangong Jingtang and transmitted her thoughts to Ye Yu
“Hurry find Sister Nangong—her proud nature may have been overwhelmed seeing so many sisters in the sect at once. You must comfort her!”
In the dream Yue Wanqiu and Nangong Jingtang had spent much time together and knew each other well, so Yue Wanqiu easily discerned her heart
Ye Yu nodded gravely
He knew Nangong Jingtang’s possessiveness was strong
He had planned to guide her patiently, as he had with Li Ruowang, gently tempering her nature
But she had learned everything prematurely—complicated indeed
Regardless, finding her was the priority
With that, Ye Yu vanished in the blink of an eye
After he left, Yue Wanqiu looked at the unfamiliar Jiang Jinhe and Dong Kui, bowed politely and sweetly said “Hello, sisters. I am Yue Wanqiu, Ye Yu’s new consort. Please teach me well going forward”
Everyone’s motives differed
Nangong Jingtang sought Ye Yu exclusively
Yue Wanqiu only wished for a rightful place in his heart
Thus she resolved to be amiable with the sisters, integrate quickly, and free Ye Yu of worry
She would be obedient and proactive
Jiang Jinhe and Jiang Yumo admired her thoughtfulness and warmly took her hands “You’re so sensible. Tell us truly what happened
Is that woman another consort of our lord? And you’re all from the demon realm”
Yue Wanqiu smiled reassuringly “Yes, Sister Nangong is actually very kind—just a small misunderstanding. We’ll explain it soon”
She strove to restore Nangong Jingtang’s reputation so no rift grew from today’s events—a model younger sister indeed
Meanwhile, Ye Yu was lucky: atop a cloud he quickly found the disconsolate Nangong Jingtang
She did not expect to meet him under such circumstances
Though her heart still raced, she stood quietly, not flinging herself into his arms
After a long silence, she raised ➤ NоvеⅠight ➤ (Read more on our source) the Justice Textbook and suddenly asked “Is there anything you wish to say to me”
Ye Yu calmly explained the parallel world theory: all that had happened in the demon realm was but a branch of another world
There were many such branches
As she saw, every immortal in Wuwei Tower Sect had become linked through parallel worlds and paired as consorts
Nangong Jingtang took half a step back as Ye Yu approached
What she wanted was a Ye Yu solely her own, yet reality differed far from her imagination
She felt lost and conflicted, unable to leave him yet unable to fully let go—a painful turmoil
Seeing her hesitation, Ye Yu stepped forward and placed the Yudie Sword in her hand
He said “You have two choices: kill me now and return to the demon realm, or accompany me now and never leave my side again”
Gazing at the sharp blade, Nangong Jingtang was speechless
Ye Yu seized the moment, grasping her wrist and pointing the sword at his own chest “I’ll give you five breaths to decide. If you still cannot choose, I will decide for you
Five
Four...”
Before he could finish, Nangong Jingtang released the Yudie Sword and leapt into his arms “You monster, do you only know how to bully me”
Ye Yu gently patted her back and quietly exhaled
As they say, drastic measures for serious ailments
Though this was his first time trying such a method, it proved remarkably effective
Indeed, a real win!
