Chapter 1125: Must be in A Dream!

Must be in A Dream! . . .

In the midst of an eerie silence, Zhu Jiutian's sudden outburst was startling and jarring.

Everyone present swiveled their stiff necks to direct their gaze at Zhu and Zhan.

Some turned their heads so abruptly that their necks produced a loud crack, leaving them feeling sore.

"Ahem..." Yue Shuang cleared her throat. She returned to her calm, aloof demeanor and stated blandly, "We've had a comprehensive discussion with Lord Cha regarding the current situation. We've gone over the entire sequence of events, shared our perspectives, and ultimately engaged in negotiations."

"It did take quite some time. Given the extensive matters that needed to be addressed and their significance, it was necessary to delve deeply into the discussion to ensure nothing was overlooked," Yue Han added.

However, their explanations only seemed to make things worse, as if they were attempting to cover up a falsehood.

"Puff... Ahem... cough, cough, cough..." Zhan Yunfei choked and started coughing uncontrollably.

Zhu Jiutian's eyes widened as if he had seen a ghost...

Cha Nantian was utterly baffled. He had no idea what to say...

"Discussed it... Exchanged thoughts... Had a negotiation..."

"How much we should talk about and how important it was..."

"So that nothing would be missed..."

"What in the world?"

"If someone else had said these words, it would be fine."

"But... who are you?"

"You are Shuang and Han of Qiong-Hua Palace!"

"You made it clear that you'd never negotiate, that you didn't concern yourselves with right and wrong, that you only yielded to the stronger fist!"

"Now you've changed your tune... Can't you take this seriously..."

"Well, in fact, I believe that everyone should be reasonable," Yue Shuang said with an air of solemnity, as if she had discerned Cha Nantian's internal monologue.

"Indeed! Justice is among us! Those who are unreasonable are the bad guys!" Yue Han chimed in.

"So we must be reasonable. We must choose right over wrong!" Yue Shuang continued in a matter-of-fact tone.

"We are the good guys," Yue Han declared serenely.

Cha Nantian couldn't help but keep his eyes wide open. He felt as though he were in a surreal dream.

He couldn't find the words to convey what was transpiring at that moment!

Zhan Yunfei collapsed to the floor and coughed violently, as if his world were crumbling. It appeared that he wouldn't cease coughing until the world's end!

This wasn't an exaggeration—it was the stark reality. Zhan Yunfei was thoroughly confounded. He had no idea how to react and had become choked up. The more they spoke, the worse he felt. It was evident that he would continue coughing considering his speechlessness.

He even welled up with tears due to the prolonged coughing.

Zhu Jiutian fared no better. He stood there like a stunned bird, his mouth agape and his neck craned, maintaining the same pose for an extended period.

Others might have assumed that the two ladies were simply being reasonable. Their words did indeed appear accurate...

However, Zhan Yunfei and Zhu Jiutian knew all too well how terrifying the two ladies could be.

They possessed a far more profound understanding of the two ladies than anyone else!

These fearsome women were never concerned with being reasonable. For them, power was all that mattered! The mightiest fist represented justice!

Han Bingxue, who had been concealed in the shadows, was equally taken aback. His mouth hung agape for so long that when he tried to close it, he nearly bit his tongue.

"What... What on earth is happening?"

Han Bingxue was one of the few individuals in Qing-Yun Realm who had a thorough understanding of Cha Eun Xiao, and he was well aware of Cha Eun Xiao's true identity. However, even he found himself completely bewildered at this moment.

He felt like a total imbecile.

"The others might not know Cha Eun Xiao's true identity, so I can understand why they're shocked. But I know everything... I'm privy to far more information than they are! Why am I also confused?"

Indeed, everyone was certain of one thing: the conversation within the practice area must be the cause of the shock. Everybody knew that much.

But no one knew what Cha Eun Xiao had said or done to the two ladies to bring about such an abrupt, astonishing, and inexplicable transformation.

Even Han Bingxue, who was the most knowledgeable about Cha Eun Xiao among this group, could only conceive of one plausible explanation.

It was the only logical possibility that Han Bingxue could come up with. "Did... did he actually exhibit a powerful performance... in there... to, perhaps... court the two ladies?"

"Did he win them over?"

This was the sole explanation that Han Bingxue could fathom, even though it was absurd and perplexing.

However, it gave rise to a new question in his mind. "Cha Eun Xiao is merely at the first level of the Dao Origin Stage. How could he have accomplished this nearly impossible feat?"

He grabbed his own hair, deep in thought. "What did he do to make the two ladies his own? They were his sworn enemies just a short while ago! What did he do to gain their favor?"

"If he didn't win them over, they wouldn't be acting like this..."

"Could it be because of his appearance? He's handsome! Wait... if he could do it with his looks, can't I... Can't I also woo two ladies at once..."

As his thoughts spiraled deeper, his mind wandered even further...

The more extensive the universe, the further a person's mind can travel. How accurate this saying proved to be!

The occurrences in Han Bingxue's thoughts perfectly validated this notion.

"After learning the truth, we felt... ashamed," Yue Shuang stated with a serious tone. She continued to shock and astonish those around her with her cold, indifferent demeanor.

"Ashamed?"

The people present were in a state of unconscious shock.

"This must be a dream!"

"We're all collectively experiencing a strange, magical, astonishing, incredible, unbelievable, and terrifying dream!"

Cha Nantian involuntarily took a deep breath. He stared in disbelief at Yue Shuang and Yue Han.

He was genuinely dumbfounded.

The two ladies, who had maintained their frosty expressions for hundreds of years, began to feel uneasy under Cha Nantian's unrelenting gaze. They coughed to mask their discomfort. Yue Han nodded and said, "That's correct. We felt ashamed."

Even after confirming that the ladies were sincere in their statement, Cha Nantian remained in a state of shock.
