"Who is that man? Why is Lord Shadow so respectful to him?"
"Could it be Lord Mo Ning who has already ascended? I heard that Lord Mo Ning is handsome and has an extraordinary demeanor. That man fits the description very well!"
"No way?"
The bustling streets became lively again. As they had just survived the disaster, they naturally expressed their feelings through singing and dancing. Therefore, the matter of Morning and Shadow was soon drowned out by the enthusiastic laughter and singing of the people.
Shadow followed Mo Ning back to his residence. Seeing that Mo Ning was silent, Shadow asked worriedly, "My Lord, is there anything bothering you?"
"Why do you ask?"
"Since you have been silent since the day we came back, I dared to ask you."
Shadow glanced at Mo Ning, and after finding that he was not angry, he continued, "If you have anything bothering you, please tell me. I will do what I can. If I can't do it, I can give you some advice."
After hearing Shadow's words, Mo Ning lowered his eyes, and his handsome face looked sad.
"Shadow, tell me, who is better between me and Yang Kun?"
"Of course, my Lord!"
Shadow answered without hesitation, but Mo Ning seemed a little unhappy: "If I am really better than Yang Kun, then why did the Book of the World and the Heavenly Dao choose Yang Kun instead of me? Is it because I am not as optimistic and sentimental as Yang Kun?"
"Is it because of this that the Master is unhappy?"
Shadow looked at Mo Ning cautiously, but he didn't expect that Mo Ning actually nodded in agreement.
"I just can't understand why those people like Yang Kun so much?"
Shadow was silent. He didn't know what to say to comfort Morning.
"Maybe it's because Yang Kun was born into a commoner family, so he can blend in with the common people. Your Excellency doesn't need to worry about this."
"Shadow, you know what? Being an emperor is lonely, especially for someone like me. There's nothing wrong with enjoying solitude, but when I saw them laughing so happily and willing to sacrifice their lives for each other, I had some doubts and confusion. I also began to doubt whether I should enjoy solitude."
Mo Ning sighed, which made Shadow feel a little distressed. However, Shadow did not show it, because a qualified guard would not have personal feelings.
The hall fell into silence, and suddenly a golden light descended into the hall, causing Shadow to stand in front of Mo Ning and look at the golden light vigilantly.
In the golden light, an indistinct figure said to Morning and Shadow, "Are you Morning? The most powerful person in the entire West?"
"Who are you?"
Mo Ning looked at the blurry man calmly and did not answer him. But the man did not care whether Mo Ning answered him or not. After hearing what Mo Ning said, a golden light flew towards Mo Ning, and it disappeared into Mo Ning before Mo Ning and Shadow could block it.
After the golden light entered Mo Ning's head, he heard a vicissitudes of life voice sounding in his mind.
"Do you want to have great power, surpassing everyone in this world? Do you want to own the world and become the master of this world?"
