The next morning.
Gu Jian received a message from the Empress inviting him.
They said they were going to a banquet.
They also said that one could bring a demon servant with them.
Gu Jian was very surprised.
This was the first time Hu Linglong had summoned him since he became the top martial arts champion.
A private banquet—that was a first for me.
Don't even mention him, he was a martial arts champion.
Within the entire Demon Kingdom, perhaps no minister has had the honor of receiving a private banquet invitation from Fox Linglong.
However, after pondering for a moment, Gu Jian took Tu Xiaowu with him to the palace...
Meanwhile, in the Misty Sect.
For several days in a row, Ye Qingcheng stayed in Gu Jian's cave, using the unique spiritual jade used to forge array treasures to carve a statue for Gu Jian.
Ye Qingcheng's carving skills are not particularly advanced.
However, her powerful cultivation and divine sense still allowed her to precisely control the carving knife, sculpting Gu Jian's appearance vividly.
Over the course of several days, Ye Qingcheng had already sculpted Gu Jian's head.
Ye Qingcheng stared blankly at Gu Jian's face.
It seemed that only at this moment did Ye Qingcheng realize how handsome Gu Jian was.
However, thinking about the scene seen in the Moon Goddess Mirror, she was still thinking about it.
Ye Qingcheng's face couldn't help but show a hint of sadness again, and tears fell down her face once more.
"Jian'er, what must I do for you to forgive me?"
Let's turn to the other side of the story.
Liu Ruyan stepped into the ethereal secret realm.
The disciples of Misty Peak who were cultivating in the secret realm were dismissed.
Then he had a group of sycophants guard outside the secret realm and told them not to let anyone in.
Liu Ruyan walked lightly and gracefully towards the sacred mountain of the secret realm.
The moonlight, like water, shone down and fell upon Liu Ruyan's face.
Liu Ruyan, who possesses the Nine Yin Divine Body, is like a fairy from the moon palace.
At this moment, Liu Ruyan was heading towards the sacred mountain.
She had something on her mind.
It was about a conversation Ye Chen had with her more than a month ago—
In a valley, Ye Chen presented a bouquet of flowers with great care, "Second Senior Sister, these flowers represent my feelings. Would you like to be my Daoist partner?"
"You possess the Nine Yin Sacred Body, and in my junior brother's heart, you are the most perfect Daoist partner."
Liu Ruyan remembered that she smiled and said, "Fourth Junior Brother, although you are exceptionally talented and possess the Supreme Phoenix Bone, you are still a little short of what I, your senior sister, require."
Ye Chen was surprised and asked, "Senior Sister, tell me, where am I lacking?"
Liu Ruyan smiled gently, "My beloved Liu Ruyan must at least rule the world and soar through the heavens."
"If you become the Holy Son of the Misty Sect in the future, you may have the opportunity to become my Daoist partner. Right now, you are still a little short of that."
Ye Chen smiled confidently and said, "The Holy Son of the Misty Sect is nothing more than a piece of cake for me."
Liu Ruyan smiled gently and said, "Fourth Junior Brother, don't brag."
“Even if Master dotes on you, when it comes to the position of Holy Son, I think Senior Brother has a better chance than you.”
"he?"
Ye Chen smiled dismissively.
Liu Ruyan asked, "What, do you look down on Senior Brother?"
Ye Chen said calmly, "How can Gu Jian compare to me? I, Ye Chen, am the chosen one, and even the Heavenly Dao is on my side."
"Second Senior Sister, just you wait and see. I am the only heir of the Misty Sect."
Seeing Liu Ruyan's doubtful expression, Ye Chen added, "Second Senior Sister, don't disbelieve me. You'll understand in a month at most."
"..."
The events of that day still echo in my mind.
Liu Ruyan never told anyone about these things.
In fact, in Liu Ruyan's eyes, Ye Chen was indeed more promising than her senior brother.
After all, he was his master's most beloved disciple.
The eldest brother, however, was universally disliked.
Even she disliked her senior brother somewhat.
However, more than a month has passed since the time Ye Chen and he agreed to meet.
Ye Chen didn't seem to have gained anything.
This surprised Liu Ruyan.
Now, Liu Ruyan is very curious.
What exactly did Ye Chen do during this past month?
In addition, I heard from Master that...
In his previous life, the eldest brother gave the Supreme Bone to his fourth brother in order to save him.
Liu Ruyan was eager to know if this was a coincidence.
Is it still part of Ye Chen's plan?
In addition to this previous life, the eldest brother was also falsely accused of colluding with demons and was eventually ordered to be executed by his master.
What is the truth behind this matter?
Amy Yip also said.
In her previous life, she also committed perjury.
Liu Ruyan didn't believe it.
After all, Liu Ruyan's original plan was to let Ye Chen and her senior brother compete for it.
Unless the outcome has already been decided.
Otherwise, she wouldn't take sides or make a choice easily.
While pondering these things.
Liu Ruyan had arrived at the mountainside of the sacred mountain and saw the icy sacred lake.
Immediately, she boarded the small boat, activated her spiritual power, and made the boat break through the waves, heading towards the small island in the middle of the lake.
A moment later, Liu Ruyan, dressed in ethereal white, arrived at the central island with light steps.
Liu Ruyan walked step by step toward the location of the Heaven-Mending Divine Mirror.
Tonight, the blood-red moonlight is dimmer than usual.
But the sunlight still draped Liu Ruyan's body in a blood-red cloak.
A moment later, Liu Ruyan arrived in front of the Heaven-Mending Mirror.
Even before the silver-white Heaven-Mending Mirror was activated, it reflected Liu Ruyan's gentle and stunning appearance.
Looking at her beautiful and charming self, Liu Ruyan slightly parted her red lips and slowly said, "Given my current status, there is absolutely no need for me to slander my senior brother."
"Of course, I admit that I did take advantage of him before, but it was nothing serious."
"After all, he also coveted my body."
"Today, let me prove myself."
"I, Liu Ruyan, owe no one anything!"
