Another day passed.

Early in the morning, Ning Wan set out on the journey down the mountain with Chu Si and Shen Jingze.

After three full hours, the three of them successfully settled down in the inn.

After a short rest, Ning Wan and Chu Si stood at the door of the place called "Wutong Garden".

Wutong Garden, an abandoned courtyard not far from the inn.

The store looked a bit old, and even the signboard was covered in dust.

Not to mention people, there are not even mice.

And Chu Si, who was following behind her, frowned even more.

Looking at the courtyard in front of him, he stopped Ning Wan who was about to go in and said, "Junior sister, are you sure you're not in the wrong place?"

Chu Si's indescribable expression perfectly conveyed the meaning of rejection.

This place doesn't look like a place where you can send letters.

Ning Wan shook her head slightly, "No, Fourth Brother."

"We've looked around. As long as this courtyard is called this name, it can't be wrong."

Although she didn't want to believe it, it was the fact.

Seeing Ning Wan say this, Chu Si said nothing more. He walked forward and knocked on the gate a few times.

But before anyone could open it, the door creaked open and a crack appeared.

The dilapidated scenery of the courtyard came into view of the two men.

There was a very thick sycamore tree in the yard, and it was surrounded by dead leaves of the sycamore tree.

Chu Si turned around and happened to meet Ning Wan's eyes. After hesitating for a moment, the two of them stepped into the courtyard.

Those dead leaves seemed to have not been cleaned up for some time. When you stepped on them, you could still feel their obvious thickness.

"Who is coming?"

Before Ning Wan and Chu Si could look for the person, a vicissitudes of life voice, with a little hoarseness, came out.

Chu Si calmly pulled Ning Wan behind him, looked at the sycamore tree, and after catching a glimpse of the shadow there, he breathed a sigh of relief: "Junior Chu Si greets Senior."

Ning Wan: "Junior Ning Wan greets Senior."

"What are you two young people doing in a place like this?"

The man seemed to be behind the tree, or more accurately, lying under the tree, drinking tea and basking in the sun.

Chu Si said sincerely, "I have a letter that I want to give to the shopkeeper of Wutong Garden."

Ning Wan, who was protected by Chu Si behind him, nodded and was about to take out the letter.

"I haven't sent letters here for a long time. If you want to send a letter, please find another place."

The man seemed to take another sip of tea, sipping it slowly, but he bluntly rejected the two people's request.

Perhaps he hadn't expected this answer. Chu Si thought for a while and said, "It's not a letter. It's our master who wants us to give this letter to the owner of Wutong Garden."

The man seemed to have not expected that it would be given to him. His little finger trembled slightly. He was silent for a long time before he slowly asked, "Who is your mentor?"

The two who felt there was still hope said in unison: "Master Chu You."

The sound of cups falling to the ground responded to the two of them.

The white porcelain cup fell on the ground covered with dead leaves but did not break.

Then, there was the subtle sound of feet landing on the ground and crushing dead leaves.

Before Ning Wan and Chu Si could discuss countermeasures, the man spoke again: "Chu You?"

It was like a whisper, as if thinking about the person behind these two words.

“But Chu You in the Temple of Gods?”

"Exactly."

Chu Si did not hide it and affirmed it firmly.

The next moment, they also saw the person hiding behind the paulownia tree.

He had gray hair, a few wrinkles on his face, and tattered clothes that barely covered his body, but his eyes were exceptionally bright, without a trace of cloudiness.

His limbs were smooth and powerful, not at all like an old man.

"Come in first."

Chu Wu looked at the two people not far away, sighed, picked up the cup that had just fallen to the ground, and spoke helplessly.

What is meant to come will come.

At the same time, another "uninvited guest" came to the inn.

Yin Yingying followed the system's requirements and disguised herself as a female doctor. After some disguise, she settled down in the inn early.

【Host, the male protagonist is here. 】

Yin Yingying was very curious when she heard this. How did the system know that Shen Jingze would go down the mountain?

Unfortunately, her repeated non-cooperation made the system unwilling to say more and it just kept urging her to complete the task.

Shen Jingze was standing by the window in the room, looking at the busy street, but his mind was on Wutong Garden.

The tribulation he had gone through had weakened his divine power considerably, but he could not hide what had happened in Wutong Garden from him.

Suddenly, a knock on the door interrupted Shen Jingze's thoughts.

After hearing the knock on the door, Shen Jingze frowned slightly, his fingertips moved slightly, and as if he remembered something, he walked to the door.

"What's up?"

Shen Jingze looked at Yin Yingying in front of him and had no intention of letting her in.

"Your Excellency, God, have you forgotten our previous deal?"

Yin Yingying looked at Shen Jingze as if he were a stranger, and she couldn't help feeling a little agitated. She ignored the warnings from the system in her mind and mentioned again what Shen Jingze had promised before.

[Host, does the system have a grudge against you? ]

My death will do you no good.

You should trust the system, not treat it as your enemy.

The system originally thought that Yin Yingying had changed, or at least would not openly say that she wanted to get rid of it.

What's more, Yin Yingying has been very cooperative these days, but she didn't expect that she was waiting for it here.

The system wanted to continue struggling, but Yin Yingying sneered after hearing what it said: "Do you think I will believe it?"

System: ...If you don't want to believe it, then don't believe it. The demon princess who was protected too well by her parents naturally didn't know that she was born in a cage, and she foolishly thought that this was determined by her own nature.

[Host, do you really think that you were born in the abyss by nature?]

[You don't know about the great war a hundred years ago, and the demons don't dare to discuss it, but do you really have no responsibility at all?]

Yin Yingying was confused by what the system said.

There was no war a hundred years ago. They were clearly conducting peace talks.

Regardless of whether it is true or not, even if it is true, this must be a joint decision of the demon clan.

There is always fighting and killing, and the ones who die emotionally are not their own family and friends.

Don't be ridiculous. If you say this, she would have to be a fool to believe it.

Yin Yingying couldn't help but laugh at the system in her heart again.

"I haven't forgotten."

Shen Jingze naturally knew what Yin Yingying was talking about. After thinking about it, he gathered a spiritual power at his fingertips and enveloped Yin Yingying.

Unlike before, Yin Yingying could clearly feel that Shen Jingze's divine power this time really threatened the system in the sea of ​​consciousness.

Driven by the desire to survive, the system even considered controlling Yin Yingying again.

But this time, the system did not do as expected.
