As the old city lord watched the island of the Nine Palaces Gate gradually recede into the distance, he pondered the events that had unfolded before him. Less than an hour later, he was still somewhat bewildered.

"Ah Zhao, you all..."

I expected it to be strong, but I didn't expect it to be this strong.

Mo Yunzhao smiled. "Is Grandfather unhappy?"

"Happy." Looking at Mo Yunzhao's blood-red eyes, the old city lord suddenly slapped his forehead. "Oh no, Lin Xiang is dead. I still have questions to ask him."

Where is his son?

He finally managed to find out the information.

That's why I ventured into the Nine Palaces Gate, and almost lost my life there.

As a result, they are now dead, and he still hasn't found out.

Old City Lord Mo looked up at Ling Jingyu, “…”

I can't bring myself to say anything blaming them, after all, they saved my life.

Ling Jingyu looked at him and said, "I know."

"Uh..." Old City Lord Mo looked at him in disbelief.

"Uncle Mo is in the Tianluo Tower, of course he..."

Faced with the hopeful gaze of the old city lord, Ling Jingyu hesitated to continue, but still said, "There's only a skeleton left."

The hopeful eyes of the old city lord immediately dimmed. "How did you know?"

"I have feelings for A-Zhao, so her affairs are my affairs, which is why I investigated everything thoroughly." Ling Jingyu lied without blinking.

Of course, it's not exactly lying.

Because he had investigated this matter in his previous life.

Everything was a conspiracy by the Heavenly Tower.

The old city lord gave a muffled "hmm," and said, "I want to see the person alive, or... I want to see the body."

I have to see it to believe it.

Even if he is the Crown Prince and someone who likes A-Zhao, you can't believe everything he says.

Ling Jingyu nodded slightly and said nothing more.

Mo Yunzhao didn't pay any more attention to Ling Jingyu.

Ling Jingyu was immediately puzzled and leaned closer to Mo Yunzhao: "Ah Zhao, why are you ignoring me again?"

Mo Yunzhao raised an eyebrow at him, "Have you reflected on your actions?"

Ling Jingyu: "..."

Several days have passed, why should he still have to reflect on his actions?

Ling Jingyu thought and thought, but still couldn't come up with an answer. "How about this, A-Zhao, you ask, and I'll answer to the best of my knowledge, okay?"

"I'm not interested anymore," Mo Yunzhao said calmly.

She didn't recall all of Ling Jingyu's memories at once, but thinking about them every day was enough.

Whether in her past life or now, she is certain that she loves him.

However, their past life together was filled with hardship.

Whatever misunderstandings they had, she didn't ask, and he didn't say. The misunderstandings deepened, and they drifted further and further apart.

For example, in his past life, he captured her and took her to the Valley of the Medicine God, where the Medicine God turned her into a poisonous person.

He didn't explain that she was a poison person who was almost ruined by the process, and that he had the Medicine God turn her into a poison person in order to save her.

Furthermore, the Medicine God broke his principles by turning her into a poisonous person, which gave the Medicine God a legitimate reason to clean house, attack the Medicine God Valley, kill the Medicine God, and lead to the destruction of the Medicine God Valley.

With more memories, she naturally came to understand Ling Jingyu's thoughts.

He was afraid she would hate him.

He was afraid she would feel guilty.

But, given a second chance at life, why think about all that?

She just wanted to cherish him.

But he remained silent, which made her very angry.

The old city lord Mo nudged Ling Jingyu's shoulder, "Your Highness, are you hiding something from A-Zhao?"

This is not a good habit.

Ling Jingyu was in a difficult position.

"Ah Zhao, let's talk about it when we get back. I won't hide it from you this time."

He felt he should go back to Nie You to ask for advice on how to appease A Zhao.

Of course, you could also find your sister-in-law, or even Fuliu.

Those two understand Ah Zhao best.
