Chapter 316 Shi Ye Cried

Perhaps everyone knew that Qian Shiye was suffering immense pain at this moment, so none of them dared to approach and disturb the two.

That's fine too.

Everyone left in silence, leaving only Tang Nian and Qian Shiye in the meeting room.

The emotions that had been held back until now surged forth like water bursting its banks, and Qian Shiye could no longer suppress them.

Qian Shiye suddenly opened his arms and hugged Tang Nian tightly, burying his face in Tang Nian's neck.

Tang Nian was slightly taken aback. After a moment's hesitation, she slowly reached out and tightly embraced Qian Shiye's slender waist.

Although Qian Shiye was a man, his waist was so slender that it seemed as if it could break with a gust of wind.

Tang Nian instinctively tightened her arms and hugged him tightly.

Qian Shiye was like a wounded beast, desperately trying to meld Tang Nian into his body and integrate her into the depths of his soul.

Gradually, Tang Nian felt a slight dampness on her shoulder.

She paused slightly, but ultimately chose to remain silent, not uttering a word, but instead hugging Qian Shiye even tighter.

After a long silence, Qian Shiye's voice, slightly choked with emotion, finally broke through the silence, "I can't believe so many people died. Niannian, do you think things would have been different if I had known about this sooner? Would this tragedy have been avoided? Would I have been able to save them?"

Faced with Qian Shiye's question, filled with self-blame and regret, Tang Nian silently lowered her eyes, pondering to herself.

To be honest, Tang Nian didn't think Qian Shiye would have had the chance to know about the Spirit Hall's plan in advance.

But at this moment, seeing Qian Shiye's heartbroken appearance, Tang Nian couldn't bear to say those words to hurt him.

So she simply nestled quietly in Qian Shiye's arms, hoping to cheer him up in this way.

Perhaps Qian Shiye didn't necessarily want Tang Nian to answer his questions; he just wanted to express what he couldn't understand.

After a long while, so long that Tang Nian's shoulders were a little sore, Qian Shiye finally let go of her.

"Niannian, you're all I have left." Qian Shiye held Tang Nian's hand tightly. "Thank you for being by my side."

Tang Nian smiled gently and said softly, "I also want to thank Shi Ye for always being by my side."

There is no room for Thousand Nights at Shrek Academy.

Although no one outwardly seemed to care much about it, in reality, Qian Shiye's special status as the young master of the Spirit Hall made him somewhat out of place and put him in an awkward position.

In contrast, even though the Shrek Seven Devils had been away from the academy for a long time, the academy still preserved their original rooms.

Tang Nian let Qian Shiye stay in her room, while she chose to stay temporarily in Xiao Wu's room.

As night slowly falls, the sky is dotted with twinkling stars.

Tang Nian had spent countless long days and nights at Shrek Academy.

However, for some reason, she tossed and turned in bed tonight, unable to fall asleep.

A strange unease spread through her heart, as if something ominous was about to happen.

Just as Tang Nian was anxiously tossing and turning in bed, she suddenly noticed a faint sound of footsteps approaching her room.

The footsteps were not loud, but they were exceptionally clear in the quiet night.

The visitor seemed to hesitate in front of her door, reluctant to knock on the tightly closed door.

Having spent a long time with Qian Shiye, Tang Nian knew his footsteps by heart. Judging from the brief sound alone, she immediately realized that the person outside the door was not Qian Shiye.

So who could it be?

The thought had barely crossed her mind when a figure involuntarily surfaced in her heart. Could it be...?

Filled with doubt, Tang Nian quickly got up, dressed, and tiptoed out of bed toward the door.

As she gently turned the doorknob and slowly pushed the door open, a familiar figure came into view.

Sure enough, standing outside the door was Tang San!

Tang San showed no surprise at the sudden appearance of Tang Nian.

"Brother, you're back—" Tang Nian said.

Tang San's face was so solemn it seemed like it could drip water. He nodded slightly, and Tang Nian, who was standing to the side, felt a sinking feeling in her heart when she saw Tang San's expression. She keenly sensed that the situation might be worse than she had imagined.

Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single look!

So she gently tugged at Tang San's sleeve and led him into the room.

After the two were seated inside, Tang Nian finally couldn't contain her anxiety and worry and asked softly, "Brother, how is Emperor Xue Ye's health?"

However, Tang San simply shook his head silently, his already serious face now appearing even more frosty.

Tang San took a deep breath and said in a low, heavy voice, "Emperor Xue Ye probably doesn't have much time left. We must prepare a countermeasure as soon as possible." These words were like a thunderclap in Tang Nian's heart.

For a moment, the entire room fell into a deathly silence.

Neither Tang San nor Tang Nian spoke again. They looked at each other, their eyes revealing deep worry and helplessness.

Qian Renxue, an enemy who has been lurking within the Heavenly Dou Empire for many years, has been like a venomous snake hiding in the shadows, quietly eroding the foundation of this vast empire.

Although the Heavenly Dou Empire appears prosperous on the surface, it is actually riddled with internal conflicts and on the verge of collapse.

All of this is thanks to Qian Renxue. The reason why there has not been any major chaos yet is simply because Emperor Xueye is still on the throne, and his authority can temporarily suppress the surge of various forces.

But if Emperor Xueye were to pass away, the consequences would be unimaginable...

"Isn't there any way at all?" Tang Nian asked.

Tang San took a deep breath and slowly said, "The poison that Emperor Xue Ye was afflicted with has penetrated deep into his bone marrow. He is only able to survive now thanks to the combined efforts of Poison Douluo and that expert in using a life-extending method. But even so, every extra day he lives is extremely difficult."

Tang Nian listened quietly to Tang San's words, pondering them in her heart. After a moment, she nodded gently, indicating that she understood what Tang San meant.

"Brother, I know this matter is of great importance, and I will do my best to succeed as the successor. There is an even more powerful organization hidden within the Spirit Hall. Faced with such a powerful enemy, only by becoming the successor can we have the strength to fight against it."

Tang San hesitated for a moment before finally speaking, "I've come to see you today because of Qian Shiye."
