Liuli remained silent for a long time. Yu Ke continued after a moment of silence, saying, "After the young lady left on her wedding day, the Venerable One locked himself in the Demon Lord's Palace for a day and a night before coming out. After that, his temperament changed. At the time, everyone thought that the young lady's departure had been too much of a blow to the Venerable One, which was why he changed like that."
"But the Venerable One's reaction when you returned a few days ago was too strange. In this world, the person the Venerable One is least likely to want to kill is you. How could he possibly order your execution?"
Liuli slowly opened her eyes, and hesitated before saying, "In that case, it is indeed true..."
Yu Ke asked in a deep voice, "Miss, I heard that His Excellency came to see you once later. What was His Excellency like at that time?"
Liuli pondered for a moment, then said softly, "The Li Molin who came to see me later was exactly the same as before. I remember asking him why he was so different, and he told me that the magic of the Chi You Banner affected him, so he often couldn't control his body..."
"It's not that simple." Yu Ke muttered thoughtfully, "The magic of the Chi You Banner..."
Liuli turned to look at Yu Ke, her expression somewhat grave, and said, "Yu Ke, what are you worried about?"
Yu Ke leaned closer to Liu Li, lowered his voice, and slowly uttered two words: "Possession."
Liuli's face changed as she suddenly realized the danger Li Molin was in.
Yu Ke said in a low voice, "I have been thinking about this question these days. Looking at the Venerable One, there has been no sign of any struggle. The only time he showed any sign of something was wrong was when the young lady came back. So I guess that the Venerable One was willingly possessed and must have been deceived."
Enraged, Liu Li said in a deep voice, "Whoever tried to harm Li Molin, I will not let him get away with it!"
"With your words, Miss, I am relieved." Yu Ke stood up, cupped his hands, and said, "For His Majesty, the most important person is you. If anyone can awaken his consciousness and give him the will to reclaim his body, it is only you. So please, Miss, save His Majesty."
Liuli said coldly, "Don't worry, Yu Ke. It's late today. I'll go find Li Molin first thing tomorrow morning and find out more about his situation."
"Yes." Yu Ke bowed slightly and said softly, "In that case, Yu Ke will take his leave."
Li Molin's condition made Liuli feel even worse. She closed her eyes, frowned deeply, and replied, "You should leave."
Yu Ke said no more, his face was extremely solemn, and he turned around and slowly left.
Liuli was left alone in the shade of the willow tree, frowning as she pondered various things.

Late that night.
The demons in the City of Gods and Demons continued their commotion until this point, when they finally returned to their dwellings to rest. At this time, all the lights in the city were extinguished, and the surrounding area was completely quiet.
Liuli had long been accustomed to the quiet life that began after dark in Magpie Bridge Town. Since returning to God and Demon City, she naturally couldn't adapt to the endless arguments and noise. Every night when she turned off the lights and prepared to sleep, her ears were always filled with all sorts of sounds, making it impossible for her to fall asleep.
She was extremely tired but unable to sleep. She was extremely disgusted by the noise. In this state, she often tossed and turned, feeling restless and anxious, and thus missed the days in Magpie Bridge Town even more.
She could only fall asleep when the noise of the night gradually subsided. Even then, she had just drifted off to sleep, but her brows were still tightly furrowed and unable to relax.
Suddenly, the sound of a door opening in the outer hall reached the inner hall where Liuli was sleeping, followed by the sound of light footsteps.
However, Liuli, who had just fallen asleep, was suddenly awakened. She opened her eyes abruptly, sat up, and put on her shoes. At the same time, a flash of black light appeared on her body, and she was already dressed in a black outfit.
Then she looked intently at the two tightly closed doors of the inner hall.
