Duanmu Qingchen's golden eyes were always fixed on the huge dark chessboard in front of him, just like the dense web of life in front of him. He wondered if there was a thread connecting him and her that made him drop everything and come down to find her, stand here with her, play this game of chess, and decide this person's fate.
He really...left everything behind.
He abandoned the official duties in his hands, abandoned his high and mighty face, and even more so, abandoned... his deep hatred for her.
Today, it seemed that they were deciding Li Juanlan's fate, but wasn't it also deciding his and her fate? If he lost today, he would have to go back alone, face all those tedious things, and continue to fight to protect the Divine Realm...
He would rather die! than admit that he needed her.
However, reality forced him to admit that he... had lost...
He...really...needs her...
In the secret realm, Lin Tingjun sat at the table, holding a jade cup, leisurely tasting wine. Beside him, Hei Yan squatted on the stone table with a wine pot in his hand, his face became even darker. He was actually here to serve Lin Tingjun!
How shameful!
It’s so infuriating!
He went from being the prince of the demon god to being a servant.
At this moment, he must not let that person see him, otherwise, he would be completely disgraced and would never be able to raise his head in the Demon God Realm again.
Lin Tingjun tapped the stone table, and another wine glass appeared on the table. It was prepared for Fu Mingrui.
When Hei Yan saw that Lin Tingjun actually asked him to pour wine for Fu Mingrui, his eyes immediately spit fire! It would be fine if he just poured wine for him, but he actually asked him to pour wine for a mortal? Fu Mingrui was just a small-time Wenquxing at best, what about him? !
Heiyan was so angry that he couldn't vent it on Lin Tingjun, so he could only rush towards Fu Mingrui.
He immediately shouted to Fu Mingrui, who was still staring blankly at the secret realm, "Have you finished reading it?!"
Fu Mingrui stood by the lotus pond, looking around the secret realm in a daze. He couldn't imagine that such a large space could be contained in a small room the size of a cabinet. Everything in front of him could no longer be explained by common sense, and it once again proved what Duanmu Qingchen said, the lotus is a fairy from the Ninth Heaven.
The Ba Xia in the backyard of Jiumen appeared after Lian Youyou came, and all the changes in Jiumen also happened after Lian Youyou came. Therefore, Lian Youyou is the key.
However, he still couldn't believe this answer. How could the Ninth Heaven Fairy suddenly come to the mortal world? And how could she suddenly come here
Before Lian Youyou appeared, Fu Mingrui did not believe in ghosts and gods, nor did he believe in the six realms.
But after Lian Youyou appeared, he had to believe what he saw, but he still found it unbelievable. He felt like his head was about to explode from the worries caused by the subversion of his belief.
Heiyan called out to Fu Mingrui and found that the idiot didn't respond. His face instantly turned gloomy and a low "gurgling" sound came from his throat.
Lin Tingjun took a sip of wine leisurely and smiled faintly: "That's great, look, he can worry about some trivial things, this is the joy of being a mortal."
Hei Yan stared at him coldly and disdainfully: "You can also sleep more and worry more as Lin Tingjun."
Lin Tingjun held the wine glass and smiled, his fingers were long and beautiful: "A cat thinks I wake up too early and is in the way, hum... Come to think of it, I don't have any worries when I'm Lin Tingjun, well... I sleep all day... When I wake up, the worries come..." Lin Tingjun supported his chin with one hand, turned the wine glass, and frowned slightly.
Hei Yan sneered and said, "You mean... Youyou is your trouble?! Youyou, Lin Tingjun said you are his..."
"Bang!"
"Meow!"
All of a sudden, Heiyan's cat face was pressed onto the stone table by Lin Tingjun, flattened, unable to move, and unable to make a sound. A pool of blood gradually spread from the place where Heiyan was pressed against the table, and the sound of teeth being smashed could be heard faintly.
Lin Tingjun held Heiyan with one hand and continued to sip wine leisurely with the other hand. This cat is just too talkative. If I had known earlier, I would have let him just meow.
Fu Mingrui finally came back to his senses after hearing Heiyan's shout. He was shocked when he looked back, and his eyes widened involuntarily, because there was a pool of blood next to Heiyan's face on the stone table!
The snow-white marble table was stained with bright red blood, which was eye-catching and frightening.
Lin Tingjun picked up the wine glass, continued to hold Heiyan with one hand, and raised the glass with the other hand and smiled at Mingrui: "Sit down and have a drink with me. Youyou is playing chess with that man, and she won't be back so soon." Lin Tingjun smiled contentedly, and there was a hint of cunning in his calmness.
For some reason, Fu Mingrui felt a little uneasy when looking at Lin Tingjun's smile, especially when he was "torturing" the black cat, he could still smile so calmly.
Seeing Fu Mingrui staring at Heiyan who was being held down by him, Lin Tingjun smiled and said, "Don't worry about him. He won't be killed that easily." After saying that, Lin Tingjun let go of Heiyan.
Hei Yan supported the table with both hands and tore his cat face off the stone table with great effort. The blood on the stone table suddenly disappeared, as if it was absorbed by the stone table.
"Puff!" Heiyan spat out another mouthful of broken teeth in his mouth, turned around and stared at Fu Mingrui coldly, "What are you looking at? Anyway, when you get out, you won't remember anything, hum!" Heiyan picked up the wine jug in his hand, took a sip of wine to rinse his mouth, spat out a mouthful of blood, and new teeth quickly grew out of his mouth.
Fu Mingrui stared at it in a daze. This black cat could really talk! This was the first time he saw him talk so clearly.
At the same time, he was also surprised by what Black Cat said. Black Cat said that when he went out, he would not remember anything that happened here. Did Black Cat mean that they wanted to erase his memory
Who are they? No, it should be said that they are the gods!
Time, like fine sand blown through your fingers, flies by without leaving a trace, is endless and cannot be captured.
Yun Yao brought Yuchi Jingbei to the northern district of the capital.
The North District was quieter than usual tonight, even beggars were rushing to the Mirror Lake to beg. There were only a few drunkards lying on the dirty streets, groaning and vomiting, and the air was filled with an indescribable stench.
Yuchi Jingbei held his nose and frowned as he led his horse. He had never been to North City, but he knew it was the slums of the capital. He had heard from his eldest nephew, who was a captain of the Imperial Guard, that the North District was the most chaotic place in the capital, where good and bad people mixed together, and the biggest underworld forces in the capital gathered. If there was nothing going on, it was a place that even officers and soldiers did not want to provoke, because the people there were really not afraid of death.
Yuchi Jingbei was surprised that Yun Yao brought him here. Could it be that Yun Yao suspected that the girl's disappearance was related to this place? After all, there was an unknown dark force here.
Along the way, he also heard a general idea from Yun Yao. Besides being shocked, he was also extremely angry. (To be continued)
