Suddenly, two more people appeared out of nowhere, laughing and chatting. "Oh, you guys arrived here already. Did I miss something?" one of them quipped, oblivious to the tension in the air.

"Tian! You're here!" Ye Suyin exclaimed, all signs of her previous sadness gone as she greeted her friend warmly.

However, just as things seemed about to return to normal, yet another unexpected twist occurred.

Fear seemed to steal over Ye Zhao's face, and his gaze became fixed on Xia Tian, someone who Ye Suyin had thought was a welcome ally.

"Y-You?" Ye Zhao stuttered before standing up and pointing accusingly at Xia Tian, his body shaking with an unexplained terror.

Xia Tian met Ye Zhao's gaze with a self-assured grin, apparently unperturbed by the older man's disquiet.

But before anyone could think much more about it, the tension in the air peaked, and a massive shockwave accosted them without warning.

"I WON'T LET YOU GO AWAY THIS TIME!" Ye Zhao bellowed, his crazed eyes locked onto Xia Tian as he charged towards him with a speed that left even Ye Suyin breathless.

For a brief moment, everything seemed to happen in slow motion.

A sense of disbelief filled the air as Ye Zhao drew closer and closer to Xia Tian, whose expression looked almost bored as he waited for the man's attack.

"Father, stop!" Ye Suyin screamed, but it was too late. Ye Zhao's eyes were now wild with rage, and he was almost upon Xia Tian.

"Disturbing," murmured Nyx, who had somehow appeared out of nowhere.

Her eyes shown with an eerie glint as she flicked her finger, and a black energy shot out from her hands.

In an instant, the impossible happened. Ye Zhao's fist, which was only a moment ago hurtling towards Xia Tian, began to disintegrate.

Then his hand followed suit, and in the end, his entire body followed.

He had simply vanished from existence.

!!

It was almost too much to bear. Even in the midst of all this chaos, Ye Suyin could hardly believe what she had witnessed.

Her eyes were full of horror and shock, and she looked at Xia Tian with an expression of pure disbelief.

Ye Suyin couldn't believe what she was seeing. Her father, lying in front of her, his body destroyed and lifeless.

"He died...?" she whispered to herself, her heart heavy with grief and disbelief.

But the evidence in front of her was irrefutable. Her brother was dead.

"It's... a lie," Ye Suyin whispered, her voice choked with emotion. She turned to Xia Tian, hoping against hope that he would tell her it wasn't true.

Xia Tian turned to her and smiled, his eyes cool and calculating. "I didn't kill him, she did," he said, shifting the blame to Nyx.

The latter looked at him speechlessly, unable to believe what was happening. "But you told me to kill him?" she said, her voice accusatory.

Ye Suyin was stunned.

Xia Tian was lying? But why?

And why did her eyes seem to be betraying her?

She saw Nyx kill Ye Zhao, yet her eyes told it was an lie?

"Why...?" she whispered in horror, her knees buckling beneath her.

Xia Tian spoke slightly amused, "Are your eyes telling it is an lie?"

Ye Suyin didn't nod, but the shake in her body signalled his guess was right.

Xia Tian chuckled, his voice cold and cruel. "All this time, your eyes weren't working. They only showed you what I wanted you to see."

Ye Suyin's heart dropped.

How could this be true?

But the evidance was in front of her...

All this time, Xia Tian had been manipulating her, and she hadn't even realized it.

"That's not true..." she muttered, her voice barely above a whisper.

Xia Tian's grin turned wider, almost feral. "How about this? I killed your brother..."

Ye Suyin's eyes widened in shock. "No...no, you're lying..."

Xia Tian's smile turned cold. "Am I? What do you think, Suyin?"

The reality of the situation hit her like a ton of bricks.

Xia Tian had been lying to her from the very beginning.

All the trust she had placed in him had been misplaced.

"Why?" she whispered, her voice trembling with emotion.

Xia Tian's smile didn't waver.

Ye Suyin sank to the ground, her knees hitting the hard, unforgiving earth.

She couldn't believe it.

The man she had trusted with her life had betrayed her in the worst way possible.

"Does it mean.... Everything you said was an lie..."

She whispered her num eyes staring at him.

Xia Tian can't help but laugh, "Lie? I don't know, figure out for yourself."

"Didn't you said you trust your eyes more than anything?"

Ye Suyin's face went deathly white as memories from the past flooded her mind.

Suddenly, she was transported back to the moment she had spoken about how much she trusted and relied on her abilities.

The weight of those words felt heavy in her throat as she struggled to come to terms with what she was feeling.

But that was just the beginning.

Next came the memories of Xia Tian admitting to killing her brother and saying unspeakably cruel things.

But if her abilities failed to work, did that mean everything he said was true?

How long had he been lying?

Was it since she was born?

Did that mean her parents were not liars?

Did it also mean Ye Wuhan did not always speak the truth?

Her world trembled as she wondered if her abilities had ever been real.historical

If Xia Tian's words had been true all along, how long had he been lying to her?

Had she had been deceived by her eyes since birth?

With each passing thought, Ye Suyin began to question everything she had ever been taught to believe.

The revelation shook her to her core, casting doubt on everything she had ever known.

Life, as she knew it, was suddenly up for debate.

Xia Tian believed in creating destruction and never looking back, as he along with Nyx again walked inside a new portal.

Bai Xue didn't wanted to fly back, also followed them, leaving of Want Wenshu behind.

Ye Suyin suddenly stood up, "Wa-Wait! You can't leave like this!" She yelled running behind him, but they were already gone.

Wang Wenshu became next target of her Agony, "Take me to them!" Ye Suyin held holding her body.

Wang Wenshu showed as complicated look, "You Shouldn't follow him for your own good..." she whispered but it had no effects on Ye Suyin, as the latter continued to shake Wang Wenshu and demand her to be taken to Xia Tian.

In the end, Wang Wenshu took a step, and disappeared in air, making an decison to go back alone.

It was not like she wanted to leave Ye Suyin alone.

But She knew the consequences of offending someone terrible like Xia Tian.

Wang Wenshu thought, 'If this girl by mistake says something inappropriate to him on anger, she would even lose her life.'

Sighing with pity she flew back in the direction towards holy water sect.

The return journey would be long for her...

The wind howled in Ye Suyin's ears as she watched her leave, tears streaming down her face.

"Everyone left?... It was all done by... him." she whispered, her voice broken and full of despair as she blamed Xia Tian for all her troubles.

There was nobody there to listen to her anguished cries, leaving her to suffer alone in excruciating pain.

The death of her family hadn't affected her as much as the jarring realization that she had unknowingly been living next door to her brother's killer for so many days.

And not only that, she had even shared intimate moments with him.

She could no longer find it in herself to forgive the choices she had made.

No comforting souls came to console her when they witnessed the merciless strike that took Ye Zhao's life in an instant.

Fear gripped their hearts as they contemplated, "What if we were next?"

It was in the face of such threats that the true nature of humanity emerged, driven solely by self-preservation.

All those who had failed to come to Ye Suyin's aid unknowingly dodged a cataclysmic event from befalling them.

This phenomenon was commonly referred to as the Victim Drama Triangle.

Rather than taking responsibility for her over-reliance on her abilities, Ye Suyin found herself blaming Xia Tian.

She had fallen into the role of the victim, while Xia Tian had become her perceived perpetrator, the one who had wronged her.

The person who would eventually rescue her from this agony would unwittingly step into the triangle, becoming the recipient of her constant recounting of the suffering she had endured.

This pattern repeated itself countless times, not only in the lives of troubled children seeking therapy but also in the experiences of emotionally shattered individuals grappling with love's anguish.

The only way to break free from the clutches of this drama triangle was to avoid getting entangled in its intricate web.

Wang Wenshu had made a wise decision to distance himself, and the others had followed suit.

Suddenly, amidst her shattered state, Ye Suyin began to perceive faint whispers that beckoned her attention.

"Who?" She looked around in a bewildered state, desperately seeking the source of these mysterious voices.
