Chapter 48: Are we going to be sacrificed?
Yu Sheng was somewhat restless.
It had always seemed to him, ever since he was a child, that there was nothing wrong with killing.
If he wants to kill me, then I will kill him.
Everything was resolved by killing, which made things unexpectedly straightforward and clean.
Some of the policies issued by Mo Pavilion could be utilized, but others made Yu Sheng feel somewhat constrained.
It always felt like... being tied hand and foot, which was uncomfortable.
The lighter, which he had lent to a teacher once, hadn't been used for a long time, and he found it oddly unfamiliar.
However, the food here was much better than in Sin City.
And...
The people seemed... quite alright as well.
This was the most genuine portrayal of Yu Sheng up to this point.
Liu Qingfeng glanced at Yu Sheng, his tone becoming gentler: "Nervous?"
Yu Sheng looked slightly bewildered: "Why should I be nervous?"
"Because... this exam will determine your fate."
"Either you will emerge as a loong from the sea."
"Or lead an ordinary life."
"If you want to continuously grow stronger in this world, you need to carve out a path in this exam, making everyone see and remember that there was once a Youth named Yu Sheng, whose debut... was nothing short of spectacular."
Liu Qingfeng's words were incredibly sincere, and his gaze towards Yu Sheng... contained pure trust without any impurity.
It was as if he had already seen that moment.
And he was looking forward to it.
"No matter now or in the future, you are my most outstanding student."
"My hope is that one day, even if I am old, sitting in a wheelchair, my mind cloudy, when your name is mentioned, my face will still show a proud smile."
Liu Qingfeng looked out the window, his eyes filled with longing as if anticipating that day.
As a warrior, his lifelong dream was to slay all demons.
As a teacher, he hoped that all his students would become as loongs.
And for Yu Sheng, he hoped for even more, much more...
Sometimes, he had unconsciously started to see himself in many different roles.
Yu Sheng stared at Liu Qingfeng's back, slightly entranced.
It was as if in this moment, he saw a shadow in Liu Qingfeng.
When he first entered Sin City, during those countless cold nights, that blurry figure in his dreams...
Like a towering tree, sheltering him from all the storms.
But...
Dreams are fake.
And reality... probably is too.
Yu Sheng shook his head gently, returning to his calm demeanor: "But I don't like being the center of attention. In Sin City, those with high profiles rarely survive."
"Then become stronger!"
"Surpass everyone, to the point where even the mention of your name makes others back away in fear!"
Liu Qingfeng's tone was firm, even a bit harsh: "I hope you become a kind person, but not a foolishly kind one."
"As a human, protecting your home and country is your duty."
"But if anyone dares stab you in the back..."
"They’re fair game!"
"Even if it means turning the world upside down, creating mountains of corpses and seas of blood, Mo Pavilion will support you."

"I can't say everyone in Mo Pavilion is good, but you can always trust Mo Pavilion."
"Mo Pavilion stands with the truth, regardless of whether we are outnumbered or not!"
Liu Qingfeng didn’t turn around, still facing the window, but his words were etched into Yu Sheng’s mind.
Mo Pavilion... stands with the truth.
"If I get the chance, I'll try it."
"After all, I need to make money too."
Yu Sheng said with a shy smile, scratching his head like he usually does when he laughs.
However, his smile was always somewhat insincere.
As if he was laughing just for the sake of laughing.
Sunlight streamed through the window, casting elongated shadows of them on the floor.
"Come on, I’ll treat you to dinner tonight!"
"A big feast!"
Liu Qingfeng looked at Yu Sheng's reflection in the window and grimaced slightly, then, with a somewhat youthful vigor, he clenched his fist.
"Teacher..."
"You look... kind of silly right now."
Yu Sheng quietly watched this scene and gave his commentary.
Liu Qingfeng, as if struck by lightning, froze in place.
Just then, a student came back to the classroom to retrieve something. Liu Qingfeng quickly withdrew his hand and coughed twice by his mouth.
The student glanced strangely at Liu Qingfeng, then at Yu Sheng, scratched his head with a puzzled look, and turned to leave.
For a moment, even he thought...
The usually stern teacher seemed... to have transformed suddenly.
It must be his imagination... right?
"Who's calling who silly now!"
"Show some respect when you're talking to your teacher!"
Liu Qingfeng glared at Yu Sheng, then forcefully composed himself and walked towards the door with his hands behind his back.
He had intended to lighten the mood with Yu Sheng, but it turned out...
It was indeed a bit awkward.
Yu Sheng watched Liu Qingfeng's somewhat embarrassed retreat, the corners of his mouth curling slightly into a...
...
"Is everything clear now?"
Pavilion Master Lin, with a stern expression, sat at the head of the conference table and surveyed the room.
Below...
The entire Third Squad of the Demon Exorcism Pavilion.
Dark Pavilion, Zhao Qingyi.
Including Wang Wenxuan from the Reserve Forces and several members of the Security Bureau, expressions progressively turned solemn.
An Xin’s smile had gradually faded; first, she glanced in Zhao Qingyi's direction and pursed her lips, then spoke, "There's something I'm not quite clear on."
"According to what you've said, Pavilion Master Lin, this operation doesn't quite make sense."
"If the Cult is causing trouble in Mobei, where's the benefit for them?"
"The Cult never undertakes actions without a benefit."
"Perhaps there are other plans on your side that we aren’t privy to due to our clearance, but I just want to confirm one thing..."
Taking a deep breath, with an unprecedented seriousness, An Xin locked eyes with Pavilion Master Lin.
"Are we... going to be sacrificed?"
