Chapter 219 It's still because her cultivation isn't enough that she's reading this...

"Asagiri, this scene should look familiar to you, right? Now that you know who you are, you can't escape this time." Ling Jin looked at Asagiri with a smug expression.

In an instant, "Shuyue" changed her appearance, tears streaming down her cheeks, and pleaded, "Ajin, please stop, don't go any further."

"Shut up, I told you to shut up! If it weren't for you back then, this body would have been mine. Now that we finally have a way to separate us, you're being stupid again."

“But what you’re doing is wrong, and... and our physical bodies shouldn’t look like this.”

"Stop pretending. How much better are you? You've fallen for that Xuanwu too. Do you know how much I want to throw up if I spend any more time with that madwoman? So what if she's the God of War? She's still a fool. Do you really think she loves you? She'll love whoever has that face."

"But...but you shouldn't hurt people."

"Idiot! You're an idiot! If she doesn't die, the two of us will."

Asagiri took a deep breath. "Enough, stop arguing!"

When "Shuyue" looked up, Chaowu couldn't quite tell who was looking at her, so she asked directly.

"You mean, someone is directing you from behind? Who is it?"

“Yes…” Lingxi was about to speak, but was interrupted by Lingjin.

"Don't tell!"

Someone's coming; let's leave.

Asagiri turned her head and looked over, then looked at "Suzue," who was still arguing and unable to move.

【Take this and gag her.】

Looking at the steamed bun in her hand, Asagiri didn't have time to think and stuffed it into "Shuyue's" mouth. Then she picked her up and ran away. She ran very fast, making sure to avoid the immortals rushing towards Lingyoutan, and only stopped after running a certain distance.

Watching the immortals rushing towards the Spirit Udumbara, Chaowu's heart sank. She had come to Mount Ling to investigate the incident of Shuyue burning the Spirit Udumbara.

I never expected that what happened back then would happen again.

The lingyoutan flower turned to ashes instantly upon contact with the fire.

"What exactly happened? Why was the Udumbara flower burned again?"

"Who did this? Who on earth did this?"

"It's the Goddess Shuyue," a little fairy whispered.

The immortals looked over and found the little immortal who had spoken.

Under the gaze of so many eyes, the little fairy shrank back slightly. "I saw it. Just now, the Goddess Shuyue came this way."

The immortals looked at each other, and none of them spoke.

When the Goddess Shuyue was punished by heavenly lightning, her soul did not dissipate. Instead, she was able to reincarnate and encountered the Xuanwu God Lord who was undergoing tribulation in the mortal realm.

After Xuanwu God Lord returned to his position, he was taken back to the God Realm.

This matter is no secret. Moreover, the Goddess Shuyue also came to Mount Ling this time with the God Lord Xuanwu.

Asagiri turned to look at "Suzue," "Was someone seen when you came over?"

Shuyue didn't speak, turning her head away. With such a bad temper, it must be her younger sister, Lingjin.

Asagiri retorted, "You have the nerve to call your sister stupid? You're stupid enough too. What are you glaring at me for? You think you're so smart? These little tricks can only fool that idiot Gengo."

He took the steamed bun down and asked Chao Wu, "Who exactly is the mastermind behind this?"

Ling Jin snorted, "I won't tell you."

Asagiri stuffed the steamed bun into her mouth again.

Upon hearing what the lesser immortal said, the immortals exchanged glances and began to discuss among themselves.

"Could it be that she still harbors resentment because of what happened back then, which is why the Goddess Shuyue burned the Spirit Udumbara again?"

"If that's really the case, then this Goddess Shuyue is truly incorrigible. What grudge does the Udumbara flower have against her that she would burn it again?"

When the last time Ling You Tan was burned, it was also the Goddess Shu Yue who was here. Now, after she came, Ling You Tan was burned again. It's hard not to suspect that the Goddess Shu Yue is dissatisfied with what happened before.

Shuyue struggled for a moment, but her body still couldn't move. She had inhaled a lot of the powder herself, and Chaowu's portion had also backfired on her. At this moment, her head was a little dizzy.

Just as the immortals were discussing this, the little immortal was suddenly grabbed by the neck.

Xuanwu arrived at some unknown time and overheard everyone's conversation. He heard from a fairy that she saw Shuyue coming this way, and after the Spirit Udumbara was destroyed again, suspicion fell on Shuyue.

Without thinking, he reached out and grabbed the little fairy by the neck.

"You dare to wrong Shuyue? You're asking for trouble."

No, I didn't.

A golden light flew over and struck Xuanwu's wrist.

It was the Buddha of Mount Ling who came. He put his hands together and chanted a Buddhist prayer.

The little fairy quickly stepped back before speaking, "I saw with my own eyes that Goddess Shuyue entered this sea of ​​spiritual Udumbara flowers, and I am not lying. As for whether it was the spirit that Goddess Shuyue burned, I did not see it with my own eyes."

He felt wronged; he had only spoken the truth, yet Lord Xuanwu was trying to kill him.

"Those of you have not witnessed it with your own eyes, so do not speak rashly. Since you have doubts, why not invite the Goddess Shuyue to come over and ask her in person?"

"Yes, why don't we just ask the Goddess Shuyue?"

"Strange, where did the Moon Goddess go? Since she entered this sea of ​​spiritual Udumbara flowers, how come we haven't seen her?"

When Xuanwu appeared, Chaowu noticed that "Shuyue's" expression had changed. She took the steamed bun down and asked, "Who is the mastermind behind this?"

“Yes…yes…” Lingxi opened her mouth several times, but did not say the name of that person.

I can't explain it.

Ling Jin laughed, "Idiot, we're all under a curse, there's no way we can say that person's name, you wouldn't know."

[If you can't just say you can guess, you can at least say "yes" or "no," right?]

This was the experience that Xiang Bei summarized for herself during that period.

If she could meet Asagiri face to face, she would have already made all sorts of explicit and implicit advances.

Asagiri looked at the other person and asked, "Is it Lord Xuanwu who is manipulating everything behind the scenes?"

“It wasn’t him. The Divine Lord knows nothing about this,” Lingxi said urgently.

"Is the other person someone I know?"

Ling Jin turned her head away, and Ling Xi said, "Yes."

"Is it a man?"

"Yes."

Asagiri looked at "Suzue's" face, picked up a twig, and wrote down the name of the person she suspected on the ground. "Is it him?"

"Yes." Lingxi nodded with difficulty.

As the morning mist rose, she saw her feet trample the names on the ground until they were no longer visible.

"Was he also the one who burned down the Udumbara flower?"

“I don’t know. He just told us to bring you here and leave the rest to him.”

Asagiri looked into the distance but did not see the person.

He didn't come, or perhaps he did come but is hiding in the shadows.

Looking around, Asagiri's gaze fell on a spot where a corner of clothing was visible, but when she rushed over, the person who had been standing there was gone.

Shuyue, who had been left behind, was also found. Xuanwu noticed that something was wrong with her and immediately went up to hug her.

“Ah Wu.”

“Ah Yue”.

Seeing them embracing as if no one else was around, the immortals who originally wanted to ask Shuyue for clarification looked at each other, unsure of how to begin.

Finally, it was the Buddha of Mount Ling who spoke up, "Lord Xuanwu, please allow us to ask Goddess Shuyue a few questions."

Xuanwu looked at Shuyue before saying, "It absolutely couldn't have been Shuyue who did it."

The Buddha simply chanted a Buddhist prayer and looked at "Shuyue".

"Does the goddess know how this sacred Udumbara flower was burned?"

Just as Shuyue was about to speak, she caught a glimpse of Chaowu walking towards them out of the corner of her eye. The moment their eyes met, she changed the words that were on the tip of her tongue, "I saw that the sea of ​​flowers was beautiful, but I only glanced at it a few more times, and then I don't remember anything else. When I woke up, I was already here."

"Did the goddess notice anything amiss?"

"No."

The Buddha sighed and did not ask any further questions.

Asagiri stood at the back and did not step forward. The other party wanted to use the same trick again and pin the crime of burning the spirit Udumbara on her.

Burning the spirit Udumbara is not a capital offense, but to give the Buddhas of Mount Ling an explanation, she can be imprisoned first, just like she saw in her dream, and then she will be completely in their hands.

Asagiri stood there quietly watching all of this. She couldn't understand why the other party was so determined to kill her.

Could it be because of the seal on her body?

Shuyue leaned against Xuanwu's chest, tugging at his sleeve, and said, "Awu, let's go back. I don't want to stay here anymore. I feel so uncomfortable."

Xuanwu held Shuyue in his arms, his gaze sweeping over all the immortals watching, and he uttered a harsh threat, "The humiliation Shuyue suffered today will surely be repaid to you all twofold in the future."

Finally, his gaze fell on Asagiri. "Especially you. I don't care what your purpose is, or what tricks you might use, if you dare to harm a single hair on her head, I will definitely kill you."

Asagiri: "..." She was just standing here breathing, so why did this madman hate her again?

"What does the Divine Lord mean by that?"

"You know what I mean, Asagiri. Did you do all this just to break me and Sogetsu apart?"

"My Lord, don't speak recklessly. Produce evidence. Don't just pin the blame on me. If that's the case, can I say that you burned the Spirit Udumbara? I've heard that you were there when the Spirit Udumbara was burned. Is it possible that you did it and framed the Goddess Shuyue?"

"you……"

The immortals nearby, upon hearing this, also felt that there was some truth to it; Xuanwu Divine Lord's reaction was indeed a bit excessive.

"That can't be right. No one saw who burned the Spirit Udumbara. Why is Lord Xuanwu so certain?"

"Yes, yes, how could Lord Xuanwu do such a thing, daring to slander Goddess Chaowu so casually."

Hearing the discussions, Shuyue became anxious. Xuanwu's continued absence made her uneasy, and she simply fainted.

The news that the Spirit Udumbara flower had been burned again spread, and a fairy even witnessed the Goddess Shuyue going to the Spirit Udumbara flower sea, which made the rumors even more intense.

Shuyue was naturally aware of this. She stayed in the Xuanwu Temple and did not come out. No matter where Xuanwu went, she stayed by his side.

"Shuyue, don't be afraid, I will protect you, and I will never let anyone hurt you again."

Nestled in Xuanwu's arms, "Shuyue" smirked sarcastically. She clung to Xuanwu precisely for protection. Lingxi had revealed that person's affair; he wouldn't let them off the hook. Now, only Xuanwu could protect her.

When the Heavenly Emperor heard that the Spirit Udumbara had been destroyed again, he ordered his celestial officials to invite the Goddess Shuyue. Xuanwu God Lord thought that the Heavenly Emperor was going to imprison Shuyue in the Heavenly Prison as before, so he refused to release her and even beat the celestial officials out.

I heard that Lord Xuanwu declared that if Shuyue didn't want to leave, no one could take her away from him, or they would have to step over his corpse.

For a time, the realm of gods was bustling with activity.

After returning, Chaowu told Liujing Shenjun what had happened at Lingshan.

"Do you have something to say?"

Asagi shook her head. She was naturally fine. According to Lingxi and Lingjin, the two of them did not seem to have the dual personalities that Xiangbei Sanxian had described. Rather, they were two souls in one body. It was just that she didn't know why she couldn't tell.

It's because her cultivation isn't enough that she can't see it.

Asagiri hesitated for a moment before deciding not to tell Ryukyou-sama about the question she had asked.

She didn't know how to start the conversation.

"Is there anything else?" Liu Jing asked, looking at Chao Wu's worried expression.

"My Lord, if... if... never mind, it's nothing. I'm just curious about the origins of that Shuyue. She doesn't seem to be completely without magical power."

Liu Jing Divine Lord said, "Then you should not have any contact with them these next few days. Xuan Wu is becoming more and more outrageous."

Especially since there was a woman impersonating Shuyue beside him, whom Xuanwu hadn't even recognized, it was best to avoid contact with them to prevent Xuanwu from doing anything unexpected.

"During this time, you should focus on your cultivation and not think about those messy things."

Seeing Liujing Shenjun's serious expression, Chaowu nodded, "Okay, I understand."

She just couldn't understand why the mastermind behind it all would go to such lengths to frame her, and what their purpose was in doing so.

It seems that Shuyue doesn't know much either. Standing in the Xuanwu Temple, it's not easy to see Shuyue.

The celestial officials sent by the Heavenly Emperor couldn't even get through the gates of Xuanwu Divine Lord's palace.

Not long after, Xuanwu and Shuyue held a grand wedding, with the Heavenly Emperor and Empress as witnesses. Xuanwu and Shuyue held hands and swore an oath to stay together forever.

Seeing them together, Asagiri felt a sense of relief for some reason.

As the ceremony ended and Asagiri was about to leave, the Heavenly Emperor blocked her way.

"Goddess Morning Mist, I have heard that the Spirit Udumbara of Mount Ling has been destroyed once again. You were present at the time. May I ask you a few questions?"

After saying that, he added, "Don't misunderstand, it's just that we still need to give an explanation to Lingshan."

Chaowu took two steps back imperceptibly before saying, "I understand, but I don't know what happened. The Buddha of Lingshan asked about it at the time. Who could have imagined that such a thing would happen? It's such a pity for those Lingyutan."

"I see."

"Why is Your Majesty here?" Liu Jing Divine Lord walked over, stood in front of Chao Wu, and asked the Heavenly Emperor.

"Empress, it was just a couple of questions, why are you reacting so strongly?" The Heavenly Emperor looked at Liujing Divine Lord with a helpless expression, as if looking at an ignorant child.

Seeing the strange atmosphere between the two, Asagiri stood behind Ryukyou God-King without saying a word.

"If there's something you can't say in person, why ask me in private?"

The Heavenly Emperor frowned, his face full of disapproval. "Empress, I just want to know what exactly happened. The destruction of the Spirit Udumbara twice is related to my divine realm. Even if Mount Ling doesn't care, as the Heavenly Emperor, I should still investigate and give Mount Ling an explanation."

Liu Jing looked at him and said bluntly, "Whether you're investigating or trying to muddy the waters, you know the answer in your heart."

"We've been married for so many years, can't you even give me this much trust?"

"But in all these years, you haven't visited Qingyue even once, Chenyi. Why are you unwilling to visit him? Or are you afraid to visit him?" Liujing Divine Lord questioned.

Asagiri looked up in astonishment, her gaze fixed on the Heavenly Emperor.

If she hadn't misheard, the Divine Lord Liujing had just called out the name of the Heavenly Emperor.

The name Chen Yi is correct.

Is the Heavenly Emperor's name Chen Yi?

What about Chen Yi, the Immortal Lord of the Heavenly Book Pavilion?

Chaowu looked at the Heavenly Emperor, but there was not a single resemblance between his face and that of Chenyi Immortal Lord of the Heavenly Book Pavilion.

They look completely different.

Could it be just a coincidence of names? But how could a celestial lord share the same name as the Heavenly Emperor?

Chaowu remained silent, feeling increasingly confused. She realized now that she hadn't seen Immortal Lord Chenyi in the Heavenly Book Pavilion for some time.

Zi Linglu has disappeared, and so has Immortal Lord Chenyi.

After the Heavenly Emperor left, Lord Liujing staggered and almost fell down.

"My Lord, are you alright?" Asagiri quickly helped her up.

"I'm fine."

Chaowu paused for a moment, then asked, "Is the Heavenly Emperor's name Chen Yi?"

Liu Jing, the Divine Lord, nodded. "Yes, after calling him Heavenly Emperor for so many years, I almost forgot his original name. Just like me, after being called Heavenly Empress by those celestial officials for so long, I almost forgot my own name."

Even the Heavenly Emperor always called her "Empress," only occasionally using her real name.

Asagiri felt this was too much of a coincidence, and she still wanted to know what was going on.

The immortal lord of the Heavenly Book Pavilion is also named Chen Yi. Is there really no connection between him and the Heavenly Emperor?

Xiang Bei was also shocked by this news. She thought that Zi Linglu's identity was already shocking enough, but she didn't expect that the Heavenly Emperor's story was so amazing.

The system sighed, "At least the plot holes the author dug are starting to be filled slowly."

Chaowu escorted Liujing God-Lord back to the temple. She wanted to stay with him for a while, but the God-Lord said he wanted to be alone for a bit. So Chaowu went to the Heavenly Book Pavilion, where the same little fairy boy was. According to him, Chenyi Immortal-Lord hadn't visited the Heavenly Book Pavilion for some time.

“Sometimes the Immortal Lord will leave for several days, but never like today, disappearing without a trace,” the fairy boy said, frowning. “I wonder if something has happened to the Immortal Lord?”

Chaowu inquired about the places that Immortal Lord Chenyi might usually go.

"I don't know. The Immortal Lord never tells me where he goes. Even when he leaves, he comes back in two or three days."

The little fairy clapped his hands. "By the way, there's a place the immortal lord might go."

"where?"

"It's near the Pool of Ecstasy, but I don't know exactly where."

Following the directions given by the little fairy boy, Chaowu searched the place but couldn't find Immortal Lord Chenyi anywhere, so she had no choice but to return to the Heavenly Book Pavilion. Unexpectedly, she bumped into Immortal Lord Chenyi at a corner.

"Isn't that Asagiri Goddess? Where is she going?"
