Finally, Zhang Ling'er left.

Ye Mujiu simply stood at the door, watching Zhang Ling'er leave until Zhang Ling'er's figure gradually disappeared into the morning glow. Only then did she slowly stand up, rub her tired brows, and her stunningly beautiful face was covered with tears.

"Brother Mu, I know it's not her fault, someone is interfering, but I just can't get over this. What should I do? We can't go back to the way things were, we can never go back to the way things were..."

Zhou Mu comforted him, "Since that's the case, then don't force yourself too much."

"Uh-huh……"

Ye Mujiu nodded with tears in her eyes.

"There's something I'm not sure if I should tell you," Zhou Mu said hesitantly, looking at Ye Mujiu.

Seeing Ye Mujiu looking over, he added, "I only just remembered this myself."

"Is there anything about Ling'er?" Ye Mujiu asked.

Zhou Mu said, "Yes."

He paused for a moment, then said, "Zhang Ling'er is engaged; her husband is the Domain King of the Divine Realm."

"Divine Realm..."

Ye Mujiu was stunned for a long time before she could retrieve the information from the Divine Realm from her mind.

This was a level she had never been able to reach before, and it had only been briefly described in a few words in ancient books.

Legend has it that this is an extremely powerful force.

The Divine Realm has ten palaces and ten halls. Each palace master and hall master is a Saint King, while the Realm King has already reached the Quasi-Emperor realm.

It is truly terrifying.

"How old is that Domain King...?"

She asked instinctively.

Ultimately, she was still somewhat worried about Zhang Ling'er's situation.

After all, it's a deep friendship built over more than a decade; it can't be erased overnight.

Generally speaking, how could someone so young possibly wield such a huge power?

Could it be...?

"If I'm not mistaken, the King of the Divine Realm should be celebrating his two-hundredth birthday this year. Two hundred is a milestone, so he's using a wedding to bring good luck."

Zhou Mu hesitated for a moment before speaking.

At that moment, a line of poetry suddenly came to mind.

It's by Su Shi: "A pair of lovers under the mandarin duck quilt at night, a pear tree in full bloom overshadowing a crabapple."

Upon hearing this, Ye Mujiu's eyes widened in surprise.

"He's old enough to be her great-grandfather, how can he still be like this..."

She didn't say the rest, seemingly finding it difficult to speak.

She suddenly felt sorry for Zhang Ling'er.

"So I guess that the most likely reason she saw you this time was to say goodbye and part ways forever."

Although the word wasn't quite right, Zhou Mu couldn't think of a better adjective at that moment.

There are two interpretations of the so-called farewell.

One type is the mutual appreciation before parting, as they fear they will never see each other again before marriage.

The other is the road to the underworld...

"Was I...too fierce just now...?"

Tears welled up in Ye Mujiu's eyes, and her heart, which had finally calmed down, began to race again.

She had thought of everything Zhou Mu could think of.

She knew Zhang Ling'er's personality much better than Zhou Mu did, so it was highly likely that her former best friend would choose a path of no return.

"It's really tough on her. The pressure from the Divine Realm is too intense. As far as I know, Zhang Tianjian once went to the Divine Realm in person, but in the end, he didn't even get to see the heads of the Ten Palaces and Ten Halls, let alone the Domain King. He was only greeted by a servant. He was utterly humiliated."

As Zhou Mu spoke, he picked up the teacup beside him and took a sip.

etc.

Why is there tea here?

He quickly looked over and saw Lu Shan holding a pot of tea, looking at him with a meaningful gaze.

"You're back?"

Zhou Mu swallowed.

Lu Shan said with a smile, "You bullied her again?"

He had an expression that said, "You know, I know, we all know."

Zhou Mu said with a dark face, "This little girl is just being sentimental because of the scenery."

Lu Shan ignored him and moved closer to Ye Mujiu, saying, "Did that kid bully you again? Tell your good brother, and I'll teach him a lesson for you."

"No..." Ye Mujiu's voice was a little hoarse, perhaps because she felt very uncomfortable after learning about Zhang Ling'er's situation.

After all, Zhang Ling'er couldn't control her father's decision, and besides, she didn't know the inside story. It's a bit unreasonable to blame her now.

That's what I think, but I just can't get over that hurdle in my heart.

Then, she roughly recounted the whole story, and after she finished, her guilt towards Zhang Ling'er deepened.

"I knew she was coming to say goodbye. I shouldn't have been so cold to her. How did our good relationship turn out like this?"

Her face was full of helplessness, as if she wanted to seek help.

After hearing these words, Lu Shan was stunned for a moment, then looked at Zhou Mu.

The latter's expression didn't seem so desperate.

He then looked at Ye Mujiu with a smile, "So, do you want to save her?"

"Yes..." Ye Mujiu blurted out, "Do you have a way to save her?"

After saying this, even she herself couldn't quite believe it.

The Divine Realm—those are truly celestial beings. Not to mention the Quasi-Emperor level of the Domain King, just considering the Saint King level of the Ten Palaces and Ten Halls, it's enough to make one despair.

In contrast, the Desolate Heaven Domain has never produced a Saint King-level expert to date.

The Sword God Palace is considered one of the top powers in the Desolate Heaven Domain, but when facing the God Domain, it can only act like a gentle lamb.

However, the old man next to Lu Shan seems to be quite powerful; he's some kind of Black Emperor.
