Chong Jiu raised his hand and slapped him away.
"Go, take more people with you," Chong Jiu said to Rong Jin.
Rong Jin bowed and then used his voice to tell someone to go outside.
Shu Jianyue glanced at the man, then looked at Chong Jiu and said, "You can handle this man."
Chong Jiu nodded in agreement and instructed Bai Jue to take the person away.
Shu Jianyue glanced at the time and said, "It's getting late. Everyone, you may all leave now. If you have anything to discuss, come find me again tomorrow."
Fan Yin glanced at them, pulled Bai Shai to his feet, bowed, and left.
Seeing that Fan Yin had taken the lead and left, the others also bowed and took their leave.
Everyone assumed they had other things to deal with, or that it was something they couldn't easily listen to.
It has to be said that they were all very shrewd. Shu Jianyue simply didn't want to deal with them anymore, which is why she ended the banquet.
Once the doors of the main hall were closed, Shu Jianyue nestled into the emperor's throne.
He had completely lost his previous authority and exuded a lazy air.
Chong Jiu sat down next to her, placed her legs on his own, and slowly began to massage them. "Tired?"
"I'm tired of holding it." Maintaining the same posture for too long is exhausting.
Yan Xi also came over and massaged her other leg.
Lou Qiongshang glanced at Yan Xi, walked over and said, "Then I'll take my leave too."
"Okay, you go ahead and do your work. Xixi, see it off for your mother." As soon as Shu Jianyue finished speaking, she felt the pressure from the moxibustion massage increase.
Yan Xi glanced at Lou Qiongshang, nodded, and stood up.
Lou Qiongshang's eyes held a hint of a smile. "Farewell," she said, and walked out of the main hall side by side with Yan Xi.
After they left, Chong Jiu looked at Shu Jianyue with dissatisfaction.
Shu Jianyue sat up, patted his shoulder, and said, "You've already let go of the past, so why be the bad guy?"
"Lou Qiongshang is the Heavenly Dao, and he is in the Upper God Realm. Is he afraid that Xixi will suffer a loss?"
"Besides, he's practically married into the family, so stop putting on that cold face."
Yu Chuan came closer and asked them curiously, "Father, Mother, what are you talking about? What did Xi Xi suffer, and what does it have to do with Lou Qiongshang?"
Shu Jianyue and Chong Jiu both looked at him, then exchanged a glance.
Shu Jianyue looked at Yu Chuan and said, "Son, you'll be single for life if you keep going like this."
Yan'er and Lou Qiongshang have been seeing each other for so long, and this guy still doesn't know anything about it.
Wu Yan, who was standing to the side, lowered his head and after a long while raised his head to ask, "Does Master intend to marry Senior Sister Xi Xi to Lord Lou?"
Shu Jianyue shook her head and said, "It's not what your teacher thinks, but rather what your senior sister thinks. It's her own life, and she can decide for herself who she wants to marry."
Wu Yan nodded and didn't ask anything more.
Yu Chuan only then realized what was going on, and asked with wide eyes, "So, it was Lou Qiongshang who was after Xi Xi?"
Shu Jianyue rolled her eyes at him, "They started eyeing Xixi back when they were still in the Holy Spirit era. It's a wonder you only found out now."
Yanhuang looked at Wuyan for a while, then stood up and said, "Wuyan, come on, let's chat for a bit."
Wu Yan looked at him and nodded after a while.
Seeing this, Xing Guyu got up to follow, but Yan Huang didn't even turn his head and said, "Don't follow. I want to have a word with Wuyan alone."
Xing Guyu's expression immediately changed, and he glared at Yan Huang's back as if he wanted to glare a hole through him.
Yan Huang stiffly walked out of the main hall and came to a rockery next to it. He turned around and looked at Wu Yan directly, asking, "Do you like Xi Xi?"
Wu Yan was taken aback, then frowned as she looked at him. "What do you mean?"
"It doesn't mean anything, I just wanted to tell you that if you like someone, act quickly. Don't wait until your Senior Sister Xixi gets married before you regret not doing anything," Yan Huang said with a smile.
Wu Yan shook his head and said, "I like my senior sister, but I hope she can find someone who will always take care of her and protect her."
Yan Huang's eyes widened. "Why can't you take care of her? Why can't you cherish her?"
Wu Yan looked at a swaying little flower on the artificial hill and said, "I won't stay in the Upper God Realm forever, how can I take care of her and protect her?"
"You know your senior sister's identity; she can't leave the Upper God Realm, but I..."
"But he is the prince of the ghost realm."
Yan Huang paused, and after a long while said, "Your old man is in his prime, and it's not time for you to inherit the throne yet, so you don't need to worry about it."
Wu Yan looked at him and said, "I don't covet the throne of the Ghost Realm, but I am more suited to stay in the Ghost Realm."
"I will return to the Ghost Realm after my senior brothers and sisters return to their places."
Yan Huang stopped trying to persuade him and patted him on the shoulder, saying, "You are far more mature and steady than I imagined, but as your father, I hope you can be a little crazy once in a while."
"Just like your master said, she fully respects Xixi's choice, after all, it is her own life, so I feel the same way and hope that you will make a good choice in your own life."
"It's still early, think it over carefully." Yan Huang patted his shoulder again and left.
When he reached the entrance of the main hall, he thought for a moment and decided not to go in. He sent a telepathic message to Chong Jiu, telling him that he was going to Fan Yin's place, and then left the imperial palace.
Wu Yan jumped onto the artificial hill and sat down, gazing at the flowers growing in the cracks of the rocks in a daze.
Xing Guyu walked over and frowned as he saw this scene. "Yan'er, what's wrong?"
Wu Yan didn't look up; he kept staring straight at the flower.
In the main hall, Shu Jianyue looked at Gu Yunxiao and asked, "Master, if you don't have Spirit Nourishing Pills, just ask Chaotian for them. Don't be shy with your disciple."
"We have plenty of Spirit Nourishing Pills; you can eat them like candy every day."
