This Is Not the Female Demon Lord I Remembered-Chapter 810 - 649: Sometimes Taking the Initiative Isn't So Bad

"Ah... so that's how it is..."
Liang Yi scratched his head in frustration, unable to figure out how to explain it. However, after learning the truth, he began to speculate about the reason he had returned to Youdao Mountain.
"So I'm suspected by others and sent back here to avoid suspicion?"
After much thought, Liang Yi could only settle on this reasoning.
After all, his Cliff Sword Intent indeed contained some untold secrets. Now, at the critical point where the Mystical Mechanism Continent and the Abyss Continent are about to battle, the fate of the two continents might be decided by the upcoming war.
In such a situation, who would dare allow an unstable element on the front lines? If there's no problem, it's fine, but if one occurs, it could bring a catastrophic disaster to the entire Mystical Mechanism Continent.
Liang Yi understood this decision very well, as seeking stability is most important at a time like this. Even Liang Yi himself was unclear about the secret his Cliff Sword Intent harbored or why Sect Master Wan claimed that the essence of his Sword Intent was actually derived from the Abyss Will.
But understanding is one thing; Liang Yi still felt a tinge of unease in his heart. No one wishes to be the object of suspicion, especially when he'd just risked his life destroying a Heavenly Vein Spirit Core in the Abyss Continent.
Liang Yi lowered his head, ripples spreading from the water's surface in his Sea of Consciousness, indicating the turmoil in his Mental State.
"Hahaha!"
Laughter suddenly drew close, and a broad hand slapped Liang Yi's shoulder firmly.
Chen Hua paused for a moment after hearing Liang Yi's self-mocking words, then burst into hearty laughter.
"Wha... what's so funny?"
Liang Yi helplessly looked at Chen Hua, who was laughing so hard he could barely straighten up.
"Why would you think that way?"
Chen Hua laughed for a while before standing up again, looking at Liang Yi with a hint of blame.
"What do you think of your master and everyone else as?"
"Hmm?"
Liang Yi was puzzled, but subconsciously, he sensed that things might not be as he had guessed.
"You are my disciple, after all, and as long as I'm here, no one can suspect you or Youyi."
Chen Hua placed a hand on the back of Liang Yi's head, pulling him close, and said seriously.
"Even if there's an issue with the Cliff Sword Intent, I believe, Youyi believes, and they believe, that you can handle it. No one doubts you because you are Liang Yi, and everything you've done for the Mystical Mechanism is no less than anyone else."
After saying this, Chen Hua smiled and gave Liang Yi a gentle push. As he pushed Liang Yi backward, with his true body thousands of miles away, the figure manifested through Sword Intent gradually became hazy.
"You've been sent back to Youdao Mountain because the war is still in its brewing stage and hasn't yet erupted. So, you should teach the unique advancement method you created to a few other juniors, helping them accelerate their breakthroughs."
Chen Hua's figure faded more and more, and after waving a cheerful goodbye to Liang Yi, the sliver of Sword Intent finally disappeared completely.
"And spare some time to deal with those Abyss Gates. I believe you should have a way."
Liang Yi stood dazed in place, seemingly still caught off guard, his complex expression mirroring his conflicted inner emotions at that moment.
He hadn't thought that the truth would turn out to be this way, shattering his assumptions to pieces.
As his consciousness drifted back, much time had passed.
Liang Yi's right hand still tightly held his junior sister's hand while his left hand instinctively tried to wipe the corners of his eyes, as something blurred his vision.
"Senior Brother..."
A warm hand reached out proactively. Awakened, Su Youyi tenderly wiped away the tears at the corner of her senior brother's eyes.
Liang Yi looked blankly at his junior sister, his mind still in chaos, so much so that he hadn't noticed her waking up.
Seeing him like this, Su Youyi giggled and gently patted her senior brother's head.
She thought perhaps her senior brother had a bit of a macho streak. No matter what happened before, he would always show her a confident smile, as if everything was under control, never letting her worry.
"Alright, senior brother, sometimes you need to be honest with yourself."
Su Youyi leaned forward, wrapping her arms around Liang Yi, her voice soft and soothing like a gentle mist calming him.
This was the first time she saw her senior brother in such a state, like a hedgehog suddenly revealing its softest ears and belly.
Though she didn't quite understand what had happened, just like her senior brother was always by her side, she would unfailingly stay by his side too. She liked the strong senior brother who could shield her from the storm, but it was nice if he occasionally leaned on her once in a while...
Inhaling the fresh scent from his junior sister, Liang Yi's turbulent emotions finally began to settle.
In Su Youyi's embrace, Liang Yi took a deep breath, organizing his thoughts, and felt the care from his junior sister.
"Getting old... never thought I'd have a breakdown day."
Regaining his composure, Liang Yi chuckled self-deprecatingly. The Ninth Realm Great Perfection rebound couldn't break him, yet his master's words managed to have such an impact on him.
