Chapter 163: Shengyue's Hand Was Cut Off
But Cai'er ignored her and just walked forward and took the unsteady Xingyuan from her hands.

Seeing this, Chen Ying'er did not say anything else, but stepped aside tactfully and was about to go out the door. But before she could put her hand on the door, Cai'er stopped her.

"Ying'er, you don't have to avoid it."

Chen Ying'er didn't understand what Cai'er meant. Why did you let me stay here when you, the queen, came? Just to be a light bulb?
Although Chen Ying'er felt a little unhappy when she thought of this, she didn't know why, and she didn't leave the room, but sat on the chair next to her.

Although Cai'er, who came in a hurry, had a not-so-pleasant smell of demon blood on her body, Xingyuan's subconscious mind was resisting contact with such Cai'er, but he still hugged Cai'er tightly, as if he wanted to rub her into his body.

"Xingyuan..."

Seeing that Xingyuan's white robe was covered in blood after being rubbed by her, Cai'er couldn't say the words she wanted to complain to Xingyuan. "Ying, Ying'er just said that you almost died. Is that true?"

"I do not know."

Xingyuan didn't want to cause Cai'er to worry. "But am I not standing here in good health? I heard from our elders that it was my great-grandfather who saved me."

"..."

Cai'er didn't answer, and it took her a long time to squeeze out a "hmm" from between her teeth.

Xingyuan didn't care. He rubbed her head and called Chen Ying'er, who had a complicated expression on her face, "Okay, let's go back. Thank you for your hard work."

However, the door was pushed open again, and this time the person who came in was the great-grandfather.

"ever……"

Before Xingyuan finished speaking, he noticed the empty sleeve of Shengyue's left hand. His pupils contracted instantly and he was stunned for a moment.

Sheng Yue didn't say anything, but glanced at the only outsider in the ward, Chen Ying'er.

"Captain, I'll go down first and tell Sister Li Xin and the others outside that you're awake." Chen Ying'er was still very smart and knew that she shouldn't be present for the following conversation.

Cai'er sniffed and seemed to smell another smell of blood in the air, and fell silent.

"Come here and let me take a look."

Shengyue pulled over a chair and sat down, then waved to Xingyuan.

"……Um."

Xingyuan patted Caier on the shoulder, then walked to his great-grandfather Shengyue with the help of the wall, stretched out his hand and let the other party's mental power flow through his veins throughout his body.

Although Shengyue looked indifferent at this moment, Xingyuan had no way of pretending not to see it, "Great-grandfather, your hand..."

"nothing dealing with you."

Sheng Yue grabbed Xing Yuan's wrist, narrowed his eyes and said, "It was cut off by the two Moon Demon Kings in order to cover the retreat of others."

Moon Demon? Heavenly King? Why did they appear in the battlefield of Exorcism Pass?

Although he had many doubts in his heart, he also knew that even Sheng Yue would not be able to answer his questions.

"Then your hand..."

Xingyuan bit his lip, his eyes reddened, "Is there any way to get it back?"

"The hand has been destroyed."

After repeatedly confirming that there was indeed no residual mental toxin from Lamer in Xingyuan's body, Shengyue finally breathed a sigh of relief. He patted Xingyuan on the shoulder and said in a nonchalant tone, "I'll just ask Ling Xiaotian from the Priest Temple to help me reshape my flesh and blood some other day."

"…Thank you, great grandfather."

Xingyuan opened his mouth. He understood Shengyue's character very well and knew that she hated others being hypocritical. And now that his hand was gone, there was no point in saying anything more.

"You understand me better than Ling Xin..."

Seeing this, Sheng Yue couldn't help but laugh. "...Did you kill Lamer?" Cai'er suddenly asked.

Sheng Yue stopped smiling and looked at Cai Er beside him. After a long silence, he replied, "It's not me."

truth.

Cai'er nodded, turned around and went out, waiting for Xingyuan to come out.

“It’s really a headache.”

Shengyue wanted to scratch his head, but found that he could only use the hand that was on Xingyuan's shoulder.

"It's not easy for you to be stuck between us and Cai'er."

Sheng Yue sighed, "Did Cai'er tell you not to have any contact with us 'family'?"

Xingyuan shook his head and replied: "No."

"You can't even fool Cai'er, and you want to fool me?"

Shengyue saw through Xingyuan's lie at a glance, but because he had good intentions, she didn't care. "I know Cai'er is willful, but she is really important to our Assassin's Temple. You just need to be good to her. You don't need to worry about our family affairs."

I don't want to get involved in your family's affairs, but the Reincarnation Spirit Furnace is in Cai'er's body, so I have to take care of it.

After Xingyuan finished complaining in his heart, he shook his head towards Shengyue and said, "Cai'er listens to me very well, and I will treat her well. Great-grandfather, you don't have to worry."

"Ah."

Sheng Yue didn't comment, and then asked casually, "What happened to Chen Ying'er just now?"

“… is my teammate.”

"Ok?"

Shengyue suddenly opened his eyes and looked at Xingyuan. It was not that Xingyuan had lied to him, but that he was telling the truth.

"Great-grandfather?"

"nothing……"

Sheng Yue waved his hand and sat back in his seat, tapping his fingers on the table. After pondering for a while, he decided to speak: "Logically speaking, I shouldn't say these words, but you are already a member of our Sheng family..."

"Great-grandfather, please speak."

Sheng Yue cleared his throat, as if he felt it was inappropriate to discuss this with a person behind him. "In our Temple Alliance, having three wives and four concubines is common, especially for those with higher cultivation and talent. Having children is not only for the purpose of passing on the family line, but also for contributing to the alliance."

Great-grandfather had said it so clearly, how could Xingyuan not understand? However, being told this by an elder, he inevitably felt embarrassed and blushed, "Great-grandfather, this..."

"I just said this casually. It doesn't matter if you just pretend you didn't hear it."

Shengyue couldn't sit still any longer, so he waited for Xingyuan to recover and then quickly reunited with his teammates so as not to affect the subsequent team competition.

Watching Xingyuan walk out of the door and then be picked up by Cai'er and jumped down the stairs, Shengyue couldn't help but sigh again.

What he didn't tell Xingyuan was that because Cai'er had the Reincarnation Spirit Furnace fused into her body, it was very likely that she would not be able to grow old with him.

Because if you can't pass the test of the reincarnation furnace, that would be a purgatory where living would be more painful than death.

Shengyue truly treats Xingyuan as his own child. Even if Cai'er was not a factor, he would still go to the demon clan's central army tent for Xingyuan.

It was because Shengyue had already regarded Xingyuan as his own child that he said those words just now, because he didn't want to see Xingyuan hanging on Caier's tree for the rest of his life.

He felt that Xingyuan was the 'Saint of Reincarnation' of their own Magic Temple.
