God's Gift

Yu Youyou's expression was too innocent and sincere, so Lu Keming thought it was something unimportant. He nodded, looked at the direction Chen Qingqiu left, and followed with Yu Youyou.

Shen Minghua and others followed closely behind.

Chen Qingqiu did not go up the mountain directly. He found the clan leader's daughter-in-law again and asked her about the relevant matters in detail. He learned that the villagers would take the girl up the mountain at night.

He planned to follow the villagers at night to check the location of the Ten Thousand Faces Buddha Temple and where the girls were imprisoned.

But Chen Qingqiu is just an ordinary person. He does not have the mental strength to cover his tracks like the students of Mingniao Academy, nor does he have such strong ability to fight against a group of villagers.

Besides, there is no one here who can help him except the clan leader's daughter-in-law.

He did catch up with the villagers at night, climbed up the mountain carefully, and saw the small Buddhist temple at the foot of the cliff.

Chen Qingqiu saw the girls being taken into the temple one by one. Not long after, painful cries for help were heard from the temple.

The girls who were still chatting and laughing a few days ago were dedicated to the Ten Thousand-Faced Buddha by their parents before they could react to what was happening.

Only then did they realize that they were born just to be tools.

They cried and screamed, but no one paid any attention.

Bright red blood flowed out from the wounds cut by the villagers with knives, and streams of blood flowed into the incense altar. The thousand-faced Buddha that they once revered and worshipped turned into an evil ghost, wanting to drink their blood and eat their flesh.

Chen Qingqiu hid in the forest outside, clenching his hands tightly.

Yu Youyou and a few others had been following behind him, so naturally they also witnessed everything with Chen Qingqiu.

There was a serious atmosphere in the air.

Chen Qingqiu in front remembered the location of the Buddhist temple and turned to go down the mountain, but several students walked out of the temple, including members of the White Dove and the Blue Dragon.

Lu Keming glanced at those people, then turned away indifferently. He lowered his head and picked up Yu Youyou, and asked to ruin the atmosphere, "Are you cold?"

Yu Youyou was staring at Chen Qingqiu intently. When she heard Lu Keming's question, she just casually responded, "Not cold, not cold."

"She's wearing a fur coat, how can she be cold?" Fang Ziang was originally filled with righteous indignation, but when he heard Lu Keming's words, he looked at Lu Keming in disbelief.

How could Lu Keming still have the time to care about these things?

Lu Keming glanced at Fang Ziang, but before he could say anything, Anthony punched Fang Ziang and cursed, "Shut up."

Fang Ziang then reluctantly turned his head and continued to look at the students outside the temple gate, only to see that they seemed to have discovered something and were running towards where Chen Qingqiu had left.

The place Chen Qingqiu went was very secretive, but he had no mental power to help hide his tracks, and the students of Songbird Academy quickly caught him with the help of their mental power.

Shen Minghua looked solemn as he looked at those members of the White Dove Group. He was about to raise his foot to help Chen Qingqiu, but found that he could not move.

"What's wrong?" Ye Li quickly noticed Shen Minghua's abnormality and asked immediately.

"I can't move." Shen Minghua tried to move his feet again, but found that he still couldn't move.

Fang Ziang's eyes were fixed on Chen Qingqiu. He saw that the students were already escorting Chen Qingqiu into the temple. He glanced at Shen Minghua, and seeing that Shen Minghua was unable to move, he anxiously prepared to run up himself.

But when he tried to move, he found that he couldn't move.

Shen Minghua's case hadn't been dealt with yet, and Fang Ziang had another problem. Ye Li looked over in surprise and asked, "What's going on?"

Lu Keming looked at the few people, a hint of thought flashed in his eyes. He lifted his foot, but there was no problem.

Yu Youyou sat in his arms and had been watching them since Shen Minghua's condition began, but her expression was exceptionally calm, as if she had expected it.

She thought for a while before saying to Shen Minghua and Fang Ziang as if she were making a normal suggestion:

"Don't think about saving Chen Qingqiu in your heart, try to see if you can move."

After hearing Yu Youyou's words, Shen Minghua tried to calm down his mood and tried to stop those students. However, he found that his feet, which had been fixed to the ground like cement, seemed to have been untied and could move again.

"Youyou, how did you know?" Shen Minghua looked a little surprised and immediately looked at Yu Youyou.

"I guessed." Yu Youyou blinked twice and said with a smile: "Just now, Lu Keming didn't want to save Chen Qingqiu at all, but he could move. But you want to save Chen Qingqiu, but you can't move."

Lu Keming lowered his eyes and stared at Yu Youyou's fluffy ears, with an unclear look in his eyes.

"What does this mean? Why can't we save him?" After hearing Yu Youyou's words, Ye Li was stunned for a few seconds and asked subconsciously.

"Maybe it's because these things have already happened." Yu Youyou's face showed no strangeness, as if she was really guessing, and she said crisply:

“The past cannot be changed, so actions that conform to the past can be accomplished, but things that go against the past cannot happen.”

Shen Minghua quickly understood what Yu Youyou meant, and said thoughtfully, "Youyou means that even if Bai Ge and Lan Long's students were not here today, Chen Qingqiu would still be caught by the villagers."

"That's probably the reason." Yu Youyou nodded.

Lu Keming stroked Yu Youyou's fur, her figure reflected in his deep pupils. He didn't know what he was thinking, and he suddenly asked:

"Then why was I able to kill the patriarch in the first flashback?"

Fang Ziang widened his eyes again when he heard this, looking at Lu Keming in disbelief, "What, you killed the clan leader when he disappeared?!"

He also explained why the villagers couldn't find anyone.

Lu Keming raised his eyelids and glanced at Fang Ziang. There was no emotion in his eyes, but it was enough to shock Fang Ziang.

Fang Ziang was so frightened that his neck shrank, and he choked for a while, then whispered:

"Good kill."

Lu Keming turned his gaze away expressionlessly and looked at Yu Youyou again, patiently waiting for her answer.

Yu Youyou raised her head and looked at Lu Keming. The two looked at each other for a long while, and the air became quiet.

Lu Keming smiled and reminded: "Youyou?"

Yu Youyou then retracted her gaze, shook her ears, and replied: "Because time no longer repeats itself, the past can no longer be repaired. So even if we are in the same flashback, we cannot change the past now."

Lu Keming's eyes moved, but the deep meaning in his eyes was not obvious. The smile on his face became bigger, and he responded nonchalantly: "So that's how it is."

"How come you are so smart?" After listening to Yu Youyou's words, Fang Ziang felt that what she said made sense and looked at Yu Youyou in surprise.

"There's nothing I can do, it's natural." Yu Youyou raised her head proudly and wagged her tail.

Fang Ziang looked at Yu Youyou's smug look and clicked his tongue.

Lu Keming, on the other hand, hasn't spoken since Yu Youyou answered his question. His hands, which were resting on Yu Youyou's body, were rubbing repeatedly, with a somewhat gloomy look in his eyes.

She knows everything.
