Chapter 128 Shangguan Haitang’s Thoughts

“I never expected it, I never expected it. I was raped again.”

“And this time, it wasn’t Dongfang. It was Yaoyue!”

“To be honest, when I was first touched by the blood, I thought it was Dongfang. It was only when I saw the person that did it that I realized that the person who did it this time was Yaoyue.”

“Although it’s a bit of a cowardice, I still don’t understand why Yaoyue did this?”

“Is it because I’m too handsome? Okay, I admit that I look pretty good, but that shouldn’t be the reason why Yaoyue forced herself on me, right?”

“Combined with the complicated expression on Yaoyue’s face when she first saw me, I always feel that Yaoyue regarded me as a substitute for someone.”

“Yes, it’s Yulang Jiang Feng.”

“After all, Yulang Jiang Feng is the man Yaoyue likes and cannot get.”

“So, do I look a lot like Jiang Feng?”

“So, in Yaoyue’s eyes, am I a substitute for Jiang Feng?”

“Although Jiang Feng has been dead for more than ten years. But to be honest, I still find it hard to accept being regarded as a substitute.”

"After all, it's not that I'm not good enough, and it's not that no one likes me. The people who like me are not as good as Yaoyue."

"So, I really feel uncomfortable being treated as a substitute by Yaoyue."

"Of course, it's also possible that I'm not treated as a substitute for Jiang Feng. But the relationship between Yaoyue and I, or in other words, how long have we known each other? How many times have we met? How many words have we said to each other? The number of times I've spoken to her is not as many as the number of times I've spoken to Lianxing."

"So, it's completely unreasonable to say that Yaoyue likes me."

"So, when it comes down to it, there is only one truth! That is, I was treated as a substitute."

"Perhaps, this is why Yaoyue's attitude towards me is very strange."

"Maybe in the beginning, Yaoyue was only here for the Shenzhaojing. If I didn't look like Jiang Feng, Yaoyue would have asked me for it directly when we first met, and then we would have had no further contact. It's just because I look like Jiang Feng, so Yaoyue brought me back to Yihua Palace. After that, she imprisoned me in Yihua Palace because I look like Jiang Feng, and didn't let anyone else talk to me. This is a repeat of what happened to Jiang Feng and Hua Yuenu. And then I've been imprisoned like this ever since." "

If it weren't for Dongfang, or even if it weren't for Tiedan Shenhou's intrusion, I would have continued to be imprisoned by Yaoyue until the day when my strength surpassed Yaoyue's."

"...Of course, the above are all my personal guesses. After all, I don't know if I really look like Jiang Feng, and I haven't even seen Jiang Feng."

"But I think my guess is very likely."

"Ah!!!"

"Even if it was Yaoyue, I would be extremely upset if she treated me as someone else's stand-in!"

"But, regardless of whether it was a body double or not, they still had sex, and this whole thing is giving me a headache."

"Forget it, whatever. I'll go back to Huashan with Master's wife tomorrow. I came down this time to find the Divine Illumination Sutra for Master, to make him a whole man again. I didn't expect so many things to happen in between."

"I don't know if the Divine Illumination Sutra can regenerate severed limbs. If it can, that's great. If not, I'll try other methods, like the Rama Internal Power. I don't know if Rama Internal Power exists in this world."

After finishing his diary entry, Ye Xiu gained another month of internal power cultivation, and his understanding of the Divine Illumination Sutra also reached a new level.

Ye Xiu felt that if he continued at this rate, it wouldn't be long before he could break through from the ninth level of the Xiantian realm to the Grandmaster realm.

Remembering that back in Huashan, a Grandmaster who was almost at the bottom of the ladder had nearly killed Ye Xiu, it had only been so long, and Ye Xiu was almost a Grandmaster. His progress was incredibly rapid.

Ye Xiu was lying on the bed, feeling a little nervous and a little expectant. He wondered if anyone would come to take his blood tonight.

Just when Ye Xiu was thinking about this, there was a bang outside his room, followed by the sound of fighting.

Yao Yue and Dongfang Bubai were standing outside Ye Xiu's door, glaring at each other.

Neither of them wanted the other to enter Ye Xiu's room. Once one of them made any unusual movements, the other would attack without mercy.

The sound Ye Xiu heard was the sound of fighting when Yao Yue tried to enter Ye Xiu's room and was stopped by Dongfang Bubai.

As the saying goes, one monk carries water to drink, two monks carry water to drink, and three monks have no water to drink. However, Yao Yue and Dongfang Bubai were only two people, and they already had no chicken to eat.

...

Lian Xing listened to the noise outside and couldn't help shaking her head.

Looking down, she rolled up her sleeves, and surveyed her still-unsightly left hand. Lianxing sighed softly. Cultivating the Shenzhaojing (Shen Zhao Jing) still required time. She only hoped the time it took to heal her hands and feet could be reduced, allowing her to quickly regain her perfect form.

At that point, perhaps she'd emulate Dongfang Bubai—no, Lianxing wouldn't necessarily resort to force on Ye Xiu. After all, she wasn't the domineering type like Dongfang Bubai.

With this thought in mind, Lianxing smiled as she flipped open her diary, preparing to read today's entry.

However, upon seeing Yaoyue imitate Dongfang Bubai and force herself on Ye Xiu, the smile vanished completely, replaced by shock.

Yesterday, Lianxing had assumed it was Dongfang Bubai, who had simply been blocked by Yaoyue, leading to their long, drawn-out fight. She hadn't expected the person who had used force on Ye Xiu to be her sister, Yaoyue, rather than Dongfang Bubai.

Thinking about her sister Yaoyue's personality, Lianxing felt that this was indeed something her sister would do.

But! But!

Her sister Yaoyue was already having sex with Ye Xiu. Doesn't that mean Ye Xiu's favorability towards her would increase?

After all, Ye Xiu's previous diary entries showed that, while Ye Xiu had some objections to being raped by women, he wasn't completely averse to it either. Perhaps Ye Xiu had already begun to accept Yaoyue.

And once Ye Xiu accepted Yaoyue, his favorability towards her would increase, and Yaoyue would use this to significantly increase her strength.

So, would Lianxing ever surpass Yaoyue in strength?

Was she destined to be suppressed by Yaoyue for the rest of her life?

Lianxing gritted her teeth, a flicker of resentment in her eyes. She even felt the urge to throw herself at Ye Xiu, but the sight of her left hand and foot instantly dispelled the slightest bit of courage she had just felt.

"Ah!!!" Lianxing sighed softly, filled with resentment.

Being able to surpass Yao Yue is almost an obsession of hers. However, before she met Ye Xiu and knew the ability of the diary, she herself had not realized this obsession. But now, her obsession has been activated, but she suddenly found out that she can't do it. It is conceivable how sad Lian Xing feels at this moment.

However, as Lianxing continued reading, she was stunned to see that Ye Xiu actually believed Yaoyue had forced herself on him because she mistook him for Jiang Feng's bodyguard. Then, she couldn't help but laugh.

Suddenly, Lianxing found it quite amusing, quite hilarious!

She seemed particularly enthused by the gossip surrounding her sister, Yaoyue.

It was as if she could involuntarily feel joy from seeing Yaoyue embarrassed.

Seeing Ye Xiu's written words dismissing Yaoyue's perceived role as Jiang Feng's bodyguard, Lianxing felt immensely delighted.

She even wondered what her sister Yaoyue's expression would be like when she learned of Ye Xiu's thoughts.

However, when she saw Ye Xiu leaving Yihua Palace to return to Huashan, Lianxing frowned slightly, feeling a sense of reluctance.

However, she also knew she had no reason to force Ye Xiu to stay. After all, the favorability system prevented women like Lianxing from taking any drastic action against Ye Xiu.

No one wanted to lose favorability.

Dongfang Bubai and Yaoyue were still locked in a standoff outside Ye Xiu's door, neither refusing to give in.

Dongfang Bubai then fetched his diary.

Seeing Dongfang Bubai's actions, Yaoyue was stunned for a moment before she too pulled out the diary.

However, upon realizing Ye Xiu suspected Yaoyue of using him as a substitute, Dongfang Bubai and Yaoyue's reactions were completely different.

They both knew full well that, given the diary, Yaoyue couldn't possibly consider Ye Xiu a substitute for Jiang Feng.

It was all right to say Yaoyue was dissatisfied, or even to say she was motivated by favorability and the desire for more rewards, but treating Ye Xiu as a substitute for Jiang Feng was

simply out of the question. Even though Dongfang Bubai understood this, he remained delighted.

Dongfang Bubai raised an eyebrow and looked at Yaoyue, whose expression darkened.

Yaoyue's face was gloomy; she hadn't expected Ye Xiu to view her in such a way. It was no wonder, after she had won Ye Xiu over, his favorability had only risen to 72.

Although the increase from the original 31 to 72 was not a small amount, the final height reached was clearly not what Yaoyue expected.

So this was the reason.

This made Yaoyue very unhappy, especially now that she had almost completely stopped missing Jiang Feng after half a year. Even if she continued to execute the plan of letting Hua Wuque and Xiao Yuer kill each other, it was simply because she didn't want her efforts of more than ten years to go to waste.

But now, Ye Xiu's favorability towards her was not high enough because of a mere Jiang Feng, which made Yaoyue very unhappy.

Yaoyue wanted to go to Ye Xiu to talk it out, but Dongfang Bubai was waiting nearby.

Dongfang Bubai saw Yaoyue looking at him and couldn't help but smile provocatively.

Seeing Dongfang Bubai's smile, Yaoyue's unhappy mood instantly turned into anger, and she directly hit Dongfang Bubai with a palm.

Dongfang Bubai also smiled and met his attack.

But to be honest, while Dongfang Bubai's strength wasn't much worse than Yao Yue's, it was still slightly inferior. The difference was so small that, while Dongfang Bubai wouldn't lose or get hurt during a fight, he was always at a disadvantage. This was not a fight Dongfang Bubai particularly enjoyed.

However, facing the cabbage that was eyeing his own pig, Dongfang Bubai would definitely not show weakness.

In the room, Ye Xiu listened to the sounds of another fight, yawned with boredom, and simply fell asleep, not caring if anyone would come to take his blood today.

...

"Huh? This diary?" Shangguan Haitang stared at the newly appeared diary with wide eyes.

Shangguan Haitang had obtained the diary last night, and she had been unable to sleep almost all night. As soon as the sun rose, she couldn't help but look up some information.

Speaking of which, most of this information was collected and organized by Shangguan Haitang and then stored in the database. Therefore, Shangguan Haitang had a deep impression of a lot of the information.

A single piece of data and information may seem normal, but when the data increases, there will inevitably be some loopholes.

Although these loopholes are not many, they also make Shangguan Haitang realize that her adoptive father may not be as simple and pure as she thought before.

The more information Shangguan Haitang looks at, the more terrifying she feels that her adoptive father, Tiedan Shenhou, is.

Shangguan Haitang wants to go directly to Tiedan Shenhou, but on the one hand, Tiedan Shenhou is now in seclusion to heal his injuries and has not come out, so Shangguan Haitang can't find him at all.

On the other hand, Shangguan Haitang thought of what was written in the diary. Tiedan Shenhou did not trust anyone except himself.

Even in the diary, her death seemed to be related to Tiedan Shenhou.

Either she died at the hands of Tiedan Shenhou, or she died in the scheme of Tiedan Shenhou!

When Shangguan Haitang thought about this, she couldn't help but think that if she went to Tiedan Shenhou at this time and persuaded him to be loyal to the court, she was afraid that Tiedan Shenhou might kill her immediately to silence her.

Shangguan Haitang was filled with sorrow.

Of course, after so many years of training, Shangguan Haitang would not show her thoughts directly on her face, so on the surface she seemed to be no different from a normal person, but in fact, her heart was extremely uneasy.

She even wanted to find someone to talk to, but she didn't know who to find.

After staying in the database until the evening, Shangguan Haitang returned to her residence and took out the diary she had carefully hidden before. Shangguan Haitang didn't want anyone to see

this diary except herself. However, when Shangguan Haitang opened the diary again, wanting to see if there was any other information in it, preferably information that could break the deadlock, she suddenly found that there was another entry in the diary.

This scared Shangguan Haitang.

What's going on?

She'd clearly hidden the diary well, so who had entered her room after she'd left and written a new entry?

And why?

Was he trying to tell Shangguan Haitang that her adoptive father wasn't a good person?

What was his motive?

And most importantly, the content of today's entry had nothing to do with her adoptive father, Tiedan Shenhou. Judging from the content, it was clear that the diary's owner had been raped by Yaoyue—

well, Shangguan Haitang felt that the author truly had hysteria, and it was quite severe.

While Shangguan Haitang didn't know how the person knew about her adoptive father, Tiedan Shenhou, he actually wrote that Yaoyue, the Palace Master of Yihua Palace, had forced him? To Shangguan Haitang, this was utterly impossible, a joke.

Before, it was Dongfang Bubai, and now it was Yaoyue.

The leader of the Sun Moon Divine Cult, the Grand Palace Master of Yihua Palace.

In the martial arts world, these were both powerful figures, and how could they do such a thing to a mere Huashan Sect disciple?

And this person even claimed to look like Yulang Jiangfeng?

This is just too narcissistic.

Although Yulang Jiang Feng lived fourteen years ago, a portrait of him still exists at Hulong Villa.

While the portrait doesn't perfectly capture his appearance, it shows him as a strikingly handsome man. The diary's owner even claimed to resemble Jiang Feng.

If the diary's owner truly was that good-looking, then Yaoyue's rape seemed plausible. After all ,

Yaoyue had harbored feelings for Jiang Feng fourteen years ago, even pursuing him relentlessly, leading to Jiang Feng's hasty escape and eventual death at the hands of the Twelve Zodiac Signs.

However, there were no such rumors regarding Dongfang Bubai.

Could Dongfang Bubai be a similarly obsessed womanizer like Yaoyue, raping attractive men whenever she saw one?

Ugh, that's sheer nonsense.

Shangguan Haitang silently grumbled at the diary's owner, but the contents of this new entry did ease some of her anxiety. Even if her real concerns weren't resolved, at least she felt a moment's relief.

"Has anyone been to my room today?" Shangguan Haitang asked the guards around her.

"Sir Shangguan, no one has entered your room today." The guard replied.

"Yes." Shangguan Haitang nodded.

In fact, before she asked, she knew that her question would not have any answer. After all,

the person who could quietly put the diary on her bedside without her noticing was definitely not a simple character, and naturally he would not be discovered by the traitorous guards around.

Shangguan Haitang looked at the diary, thinking, what is the other party's purpose, what does the other party want to do?

What is the use of this diary that suddenly appeared today and has nothing to do with her? Why did the other party write such a diary?

Is there any secret in it?

Shangguan Haitang's mind kept flashing one question after another, and even many questions were directly erased by Shangguan Haitang the moment they came up, because those questions were not worth thinking about at all.

"Perhaps, we can start from the perspective of the person in this diary, and perhaps there will be some new discoveries!" Shangguan Haitang looked at the diary.
