Chapter 461: It Really Is You

~8 min read 1,494 words

"This power is both strange and familiar!"

Narrowing his eyes slightly, such powerful strength was rare in this world; it could easily sever his perception, and Shen Yu even felt this power might exceed his current self.

There were not many in this world who possessed such powerful strength, and in the recent period, he had only seen two, both of whom were ordinary people!

Turning his head to look at Dong Yu, Shen Yu could not help but fall into deep thought; there were some things he could not figure out for the moment.

Even though the abilities granted by repeated lucky draws gave him super memory and a super brain, he was still not truly omniscient and omnipotent.

When things as confusing as fog were placed before him, he still could not figure them out.

"Lord Shen, Lord Shen?"

Seeing that Shen Yu seemed to be stunned there, Dong Yu called out twice, which finally brought him back to his senses.

"What is Lord Shen thinking about?"

"Nothing, just some problems I can't figure out." Shaking his head, Shen Yu did not continue, but instead turned his head to look at Dong Yu again, as well as the power stirring within his body.

This power hidden within Dong Yu's body was equally strong, yet dark and cold, like a pitch-black, bottomless abyss. Even just a glance made one's heart tremble.

Those with stronger perception might feel as worried as Shen Yu after seeing this power. If this power hidden in the body were to erupt in the next moment, could they control it, and would it spiral out of control?

Yet such powerful strength was locked inside a weak, ordinary body, which was truly incredible.

"Why is this power in Dong Yu's body so similar to the power that just severed my perception?"

"Is Dong Yu trying to kill himself? Are you kidding! Who would frame themselves for fun!"

"Or is he currently disguised, and the real him is sinister and vicious, doing this just to satisfy some perverse hobby."

Various doubts surged into his mind, making Shen Yu feel as if he were looking through a fog. But no matter how he looked at the Dong Yu before him, the temperament on his body did not seem like a disguise.

Yet the two energies were too similar, so similar that one had to be suspicious.

Gradually, Shen Yu's brows furrowed slightly. No matter how he looked at it, he always felt a sense of incongruity between this power and Dong Yu.

A person who was clearly gentle and refined had not been affected in the slightest by this dark power; it was even unimaginable how this was done.

This sense of incongruity seemed to have occurred before, but it didn't feel strong at the time, and he only had a slight feeling about it then, unable to say what was wrong.

Therefore, Shen Yu had subconsciously ignored it at the time.

Thinking back on it now, it seemed to be riddled with doubts everywhere, yet he still couldn't quite put his finger on what was wrong.

But the more this was the case, the more Shen Yu began to suspect. Things he had once subconsciously ignored now made one's imagination run wild.

Regardless of whether this power was dark or light, he had seen two people with such powerful strength recently. If it wasn't Dong Yu, then it had to be the other person.

But was this really possible? Such a little girl, looking innocent and pure, didn't look like it at all.

Hadn't Di Pangpang said it? Once you eliminate all the impossible, whatever remains, no matter how impossible, must be the truth.

But at the thought of the vast and bright power within that person, Shen Yu could not help but shake his head. How could someone possessing such power be that kind of despicable person?

Moreover, it was she who requested him to come and save Dong Yu, which gave even less reason for it.

Afterward, Shen Yu shook his head; this little girl's perception ability was very strong, and she could even vaguely sense his own strength.

She should know that it would be an easy task for him to save Dong Yu. If she had done it, why would she let him come to save the person? Wasn't that just adding trouble for himself?

Wait, suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck Shen Yu's mind, and he seemed to have discovered something; he finally understood where that sense of incongruity he had always felt but couldn't describe came from.

The power within that little girl was vast and bright, but it was too conspicuous, as if it were deliberately shown to people.

An ordinary person naturally wouldn't be able to sense it, but if it were someone like Shen Yu with Super Perception, they would probably notice it immediately.

And the power within Dong Yu's body was hidden very deep, making it hard for people to notice.

The biggest difference between the two was that he had noticed the power within the little girl at the first glance.

Whereas with Dong Yu, Shen Yu first knew that he possessed very powerful strength, and only then did he perceive this deeply hidden power through his Super Perception.

"Xue Sha!" The image of this little girl kept appearing in Shen Yu's mind.

A soft and weak little girl, looking weak on the surface but strong on the inside, showing no problems at all.

If it really was her, then the problem arose. One moment she was trying every possible way to kill Dong Yu, and the next she asked him to save him; what kind of game was this?

"Lord Shen, you have been muttering Xue Sha's name; are you wondering if she did all this?"

The sound of Dong Yu's voice in his ear startled Shen Yu, and he couldn't help but look at him again with some uncertainty.

"You know?"

"I had guesses before, but now I seem to be able to confirm it."

"Only the person who knows me best could figure out everything about me so clearly and frame me so easily. My closest relatives are long gone, and the only person who has always been by my side is her."

Taking a deep breath, Dong Yu gave a bitter smile.

Honestly, when he learned that Shen Yu was invited by Xue Sha to save him, Dong Yu was very moved; the suspicion he had previously held toward this younger sister dissipated the moment Shen Yu appeared.

When a person is misunderstood, wronged by everyone, and surrounded by malicious gazes, it is exactly when they are most lonely and helpless.

And at this time, suddenly knowing that there was still someone outside the jail who was silently caring for him and working hard to clear his name, the sense of happiness in his heart was probably indescribable in words.

Even someone like Dong Yu, whose heart was always calm, actually felt joy in that instant, which brought a little warmth to his lonely heart.

It was just that when he felt the power that flashed and vanished upon the Prefect's death, his heart had already sunk to the bottom.

And then seeing Shen Yu muttering in doubt and struggle, mentioning Xue Sha's name, it proved that this Lord Shen had probably also begun to suspect this younger sister of his, whom he had grown up with and who was not his biological sister but was better than one.

As smart as Dong Yu was, he immediately began to understand that he might not have been wrong about some things; the person he least wanted to believe was the most impossible one, and that was likely the true answer.

"That's not right!" Shaking his head, there were still some things Shen Yu hadn't figured out, and he couldn't help but mutter to himself again.

"Since she framed you, why did she ask me to save you? That shouldn't be; isn't she afraid of capsizing the boat by accident?"

"That's right, she has clearly locked me here and is about to achieve her goal, so why lure you, Lord Shen, here? It can't really be to save me, right?"

Shaking his head with a wry smile, he had understood the moment he was locked in here that he was already deep in someone else's scheme.

This jail was clearly aimed at him, and all the power in his body was targeted and suppressed; even if he were to lose his mind and go completely mad now, he wouldn't be able to cause much damage.

Since he was now completely a turtle in a jar, he couldn't be the target anymore. Since her goal wasn't him, then could it be...!"

Suddenly thinking of something, Dong Yu abruptly raised his head to look at Shen Yu, his pupils shrinking violently in an instant.

"Not good, Lord Shen, leave quickly!"
