Yun Qingluo felt that she had finished explaining some things, so she rushed into the house, took off her coat, and lay down on the bed.

Ah, what a comfortable bed.

She finally slept on her Simmons mattress.

She took this mattress from the system; only Yunying and Mo Beichen knew about it.

Mo Beichen already knew she had a system, and although Yun Ying didn't know, she didn't ask any further questions.

She had complete confidence in the people of the Divine Healer Valley.

Yun Qingluo closed her eyes in enjoyment. She would take this mattress with her when she went home.

I probably won't set foot on the Xuancang Continent for several years after this departure.

Xiao Yi, holding a bag of potato chips in the system, asked, "When are we going back?"

Lying on the bed, Yun Qinglu muttered, "It'll probably be soon."

Yunying, who was covering her with a blanket, heard Yun Qingluo's muttering but didn't quite catch it. She asked in a low voice, "What?"

She leaned down to listen, but Yun Qingluo did not answer.

Yunying stood up, glanced at Yun Qingluo, and found that she had already fallen asleep.

Yun Ying stared at Yun Qingluo for a while before sighing, turning around, and walking out.

Outside the door, Feng Tianxing was holding a box. Yunying saw this and asked him, "Why haven't you sent it to the palace yet?"

Feng Tianxing hesitated for a moment, "Should we tell the monarch about this? It seems the monarch probably doesn't know."

Otherwise, Yun Qingluo should have taken it out while she was in the palace, instead of only remembering it now that she's back.

Yunying felt there was no need to tell Mo Beichen, but then she remembered what the old valley master had said: Mo Beichen didn't remember Yun Qingluo.

Fearing that Mo Beichen might misunderstand Yun Qingluo, she replied to Feng Tianxing, "It's fine to tell him. The Emperor should still be in the palace. After you enter the palace, you can go find him and ask him what he thinks first."

Feng Tianxing nodded and left.

Inside the Imperial Study of the Xuancang Palace, the atmosphere was solemn and quiet.

Mo Beichen was filled with doubts, not understanding why Xuan Ming had left him behind alone.

His eyes revealed a hint of mockery and incomprehension, and he said in an icy voice, "When you were all alone, it was perhaps somewhat understandable that you asked me to play chess, but now that you have a new lover, why are you dragging me to play chess? Do you have some kind of weird fetish?"

At this moment, the two men are sitting facing each other, with a chessboard between them.

Upon hearing Mo Beichen's sarcastic remarks, Xuan Ming's lips curled up slightly, revealing a faint smile.

He knew that Mo Beichen was always outspoken and never hid his thoughts.

This candor made him feel relaxed, allowing him to shed the mask of an emperor and reveal his true self.

Thinking this, Xuanming's smile became more genuine. "You're about to leave, can't I even stay a little longer to chat?" Xuanming said in a calm tone.

Mo Beichen glanced at him, a look of disgust on his face, and couldn't help but tremble his arm.

He retorted without hesitation, "You can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want. I could understand your pitiful look when you were seriously ill and entrusted your children to others. But your hypocrisy now is unbearable. As long as you take the medicine Luo Luo gave you on time, you will be fully recovered in less than two years, and your health will even be better than that of ordinary people. Having two children in three years is definitely not a problem."

Mo Beichen's words froze the smile on Xuan Ming's lips. "You knew that too?"

Mo Beichen sighed, his tone indifferent, "I had a rough idea of ​​what was going on, but I didn't know the specifics until I met Elder Xuan."

Based on what Elder Xuan inadvertently revealed, Luo Luo made a judgment. She said that what you have isn't a curse, but simply a hereditary disease. It just so happens that the symptoms have weakened in your generation, which is why she was able to help. If it were your father, she probably still wouldn't be able to save him.

"Furthermore, there is something else that I think you should know. When the island-guarding immortal came to find you, he should have given you a wisp of immortal power. However, your wisp of immortal power was relatively weak. The island-guarding immortal has melted it into your meridians, which is why you have been able to sustain yourself for so many years. Although your body is still constantly depleting, it has not shown any signs on your face."

“The way of Heaven cannot be defied. This doesn’t count as him interfering with your karma, so it won’t have much of an impact on him,” Mo Beichen added.

This was also the information conveyed to him by the island-guarding immortal, which was transformed from that wisp of immortal power. Of course, there was another part that he did not say, nor was it necessary to say it.

Xuanming stopped smiling and felt the internal energy flowing slowly through his body.

After taking Yun Qingluo's medicine, his control over his body has indeed improved significantly, his internal energy is constantly recovering, and all his bodily functions are gradually returning to normal.

He firmly believes he will get better.

But when he heard Mo Beichen say that his illness was not a curse, but a hereditary condition, his heart was still filled with shock.

"I always thought I was unlucky, but now it seems I am lucky." Xuan Ming smiled, but the smile was tinged with bitterness.

Mo Beichen glanced at him but remained silent.

To be honest, it was all too bizarre, and he was quite shocked by it.

Xuanming continued, "So, when I first met you, I felt a sense of familiarity with you, even a feeling of closeness, which made me want to trust you. It turns out that the immortal power of the island guardian immortal was within both of us. It was because of that immortal power that I felt a sense of familiarity."

Mo Beichen nodded. "Perhaps so. I didn't feel anything at first because that immortal power was only temporarily stored in my body and hadn't become part of it. So I was a stranger to you. But you're different. That immortal power has long been integrated with you, so you can sense the immortal power in my body, but I can't."

"Yes, that should be the reason. However, precisely because it is a hereditary disease, immortal power cannot defy the will of heaven, so it has some effect but not much. Later, my health deteriorated, and I had an idea to entrust the Xuancang Continent to you." Xuan Ming said with a smile, recalling his past thought.

Mo Beichen gave a mocking smile, "How could you have such strange thoughts about a continent that's considered a bottom-tier continent? It seems you're quite ill."

His tone was completely flat, as if he were only hearing a casual greeting.

Xuanming shook his head and explained, "Of course I sent someone to check your details. You're willing to spend most of your life guarding that person because of a promise you made when you were young, which shows that you're a person who values ​​promises."

They say, "What is love in this world that makes people willing to die for it?" She saved your life back then. At that time, there was no affection between you, but with just that casual remark of offering yourself in return, you agreed and kept your word.

Mo Beichen's body stiffened. His intuition told him that the "she" Xuan Ming mentioned should be Yun Qingluo.

But he still had no recollection of it.
