Chapter 721: Where the Target Lies

"This power is both unfamiliar and familiar!"

He narrowed his eyes slightly; such powerful strength was rare in this world, capable of severing his perception with ease, 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 with the abilities granted by repeated lucky draws, which now gave him Super Perception and a super-powerful brain, he was still not truly omniscient and omnipotent.

When things as foggy as this 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 lurking and 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 at it made one's heart tremble.

Those with stronger perception might feel as worried as Shen Yu upon 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 within a weak, ordinary body, which was truly incredible.

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

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

"Or is it that he is 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. Yet no matter how he looked at the Dong Yu before him, the aura on his body did not seem like a disguise.

But the two energies were too similar, so similar that one could not help but be suspicious.

Gradually, Shen Yu frowned slightly. No matter how he looked at it, he always felt a sense of dissonance between this power and Dong Yu.

For someone who was clearly gentle and refined to be unaffected by this dark power in the slightest was something one could not even imagine how it was achieved.

He seemed to have felt this dissonance before, only it hadn't been very strong at the time, and he had only felt a slight sense of 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 him let his imagination run wild.

Setting aside 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 that really possible? Such a little girl, looking innocent and pure, didn't look like it at all.

Hadn't Di Pangpang said it? Eliminate all that is impossible, and the final answer, 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 that he come to save Dong Yu, which gave even less reason for it.

Shen Yu then shook his head; this little girl's perception ability was very strong, even able to vaguely sense his own strength.

She should know that it would be an easy task for him to save Dong Yu. If she were the one behind it, why would she have him come to save the person? Wouldn't that just be 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 dissonance 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 feel it, but if it were someone like Shen Yu with Super Perception, they would probably notice it immediately.

And the power within Dong Yu was hidden very deep, making it very difficult for people to notice.

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

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

"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 was asking 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 is the one who 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 dare to confirm it."

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

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

To be honest, when he learned that Shen Yu had been invited by Xue Sha to save him, Dong Yu was very moved; his previous suspicions about this younger sister had dissipated the moment Shen Yu appeared.

When a person is misunderstood, wronged by everyone, and surrounded by malicious gazes, that 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 constantly working 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.

However, when he felt the power that flashed and disappeared on the Prefect's body at the moment of his death, his heart had already sunk to the bottom.

And then seeing Shen Yu muttering to himself in doubt and conflict, 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 clever as Dong Yu was, he immediately began to understand that he might really not have been wrong about some things; the person he least wanted to believe was the most impossible one was likely the true answer.

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

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

"Yes, 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?"

With a wry smile and a shake of his head, 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; all the power in his body was targeted and suppressed, and even if he were to lose his mind and go completely mad now, he wouldn't be able to cause much destruction.

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

Suddenly thinking of something, Dong Yu looked up abruptly at Shen Yu, his pupils shrinking violently in an instant.

"Not good, Lord Shen, leave quickly!"
