Chapter 326: The Immortal Venerable Descends Into Demonic Madness 55
"I locked him up."
"Hmm... What??"
Du Lao’er was surprised and looked towards Su Yan.
Su Yan looked at Du Lao’er with a frown.
"Didn’t you say he showed signs of demonic intrusion after his failed advancement? I let him cultivate in solitude to stabilize for a few days before discussing further."
Du Lao’er listened with a complex expression.
"You locked him up as soon as he came back? Did you say anything to him?"
Su Yan thought for a while.
"Just told him to cultivate for a few days."
That day, because of the rain, she had already been suppressing her impatience, but perhaps, she might have inadvertently revealed something.
Su Yan thought quietly to herself.
Du Lao’er looked at Su Yan and sighed.
A Pure Cultivation genius, being clear-minded and having few desires is the norm.
And yet that person showed signs of demonic intrusion, which means he was haunted by some unshakeable person or matter.
That day, after Feng Yu failed his advancement, he ran to Guan Ning Valley to find Su Yan.
He didn’t care that his unstable cultivation might cause trouble.
What does this imply?
It implies that Su Yan is the Heart Demon that caused Feng Yu’s advancement failure.
Moreover, considering he deceived Su Yan about his identity, he was likely feeling uneasy inside. As a result, when she impatiently told him to focus on his cultivation, they never saw each other again.
Du Lao’er pondered, this kind of treatment... that renowned Immortal Venerable of the Cultivation World, better not make any rash decisions out of despair.
Su Yan, observing Du Lao’er’s expression, seemed to understand something.
She spoke up,
"By doing this, could he be in danger?"
Du Lao’er rolled his eyes and reached out to grab a fruit.
"That’s your male pet, how would I know what he’s thinking."
Su Yan quickly pulled the fruit plate towards herself.
Du Lao’er reached for the edge of the fruit plate.
Smiling cheekily, he immediately changed his tune,
"I think, you better go see for yourself, don’t you miss him?"
Su Yan lowered her gaze momentarily.
The reason she had him go into seclusion was also because she couldn’t calm herself down.
Now, as the rain has stopped, there seemed to be no reservations anymore.
At the side hall’s entrance, Feng Yu stood there.
Carrying a tray in his hands.
He had returned to his usual demeanor, aloof and distinguished.
And his aura had stabilized around him.
It seemed, everything was back to normal.
Only...
Feng Yu gripped the tray, gazing from afar at Du Lao’er and Su Yan pulling at the fruit plate in the pavilion.
Du Lao’er looked pleasingly amused, although Su Yan’s expression wasn’t visible, it felt like she didn’t mind.
His eyes were deep and dark, concealing his thoughts.
His hands trembled for a moment, then suddenly clenched.
Crack, the edge of the tray was indented.
His power radiated out from him, no longer the pale nearly transparent color it usually was.
It turned black, as if something tumultuous stirred within it.
At that moment, Su Yan seemed to sense his presence, looking over from afar.
Feng Yu immediately contained his aura, lowering his head in the demure manner of a Banished Immortal.
With his head bowed, he let out a faint smile, not known whether he was mocking himself or something else.
He, Feng Yu, was possessed by a demon.
Other Pure Cultivators always had to combat their Heart Demons, sometimes for years, or even decades.
But for him, in just three days, the Heart Demon was already beyond his control.
Every scene in which Su Yan left him with cold, indifferent lips and her joyful moments with other men replayed in his mind.
Thinking of this, he wanted to kill everyone who came close to Su Yan.
He kept reminding himself that he came to seek Su Yan’s forgiveness.
Her being harsh on him was justified; he had deceived her.
