Before Yama could answer, Meng Po shrugged and said meaningfully, "Although I called the others, I didn't find Lin Lan. He heard the news from somewhere and came to me on his own."
Meng Po paused for a moment, then continued, "If you really don't have any feelings for Xiao Yu Nie, just pretend you don't know anything about this. Anyway, Xiao Yu Nie won't have anything with Lin Lan. Hu Jiu, on the other hand, is indeed worth considering. Little Hu Jiu seems to like Xiao Yu Nie quite a bit. Didn't he even ask Xiao Yu Nie to wait for him for two years?"
As Meng Po spoke, she carefully observed Yama's expression.
But even after Meng Po finished speaking, she didn't notice any change, not even in her movements. Meng Po frowned and wondered to herself, "Could I have guessed wrong?"
But judging from the King of Hell's behavior today, it shouldn't be like this!
Just then, Yan Wenjing suddenly raised his eyes, his deep, pool-like eyes staring straight at Meng Po, and asked slowly in a detached voice, "What did you see?"
Meng Po was slightly taken aback, but quickly recovered and replied with a smile, "It's true that nothing can be hidden from you, King Yama."
Then Meng Po slightly turned her head and said to Judge Cui beside her, "You can go down now. I have something to say to King Yama."
Judge Cui glanced hesitantly at King Yama, and seeing that he didn't say anything, he respectfully took his leave.
Meng Po's smile vanished, replaced by a serious expression. "Now that Judge Cui is gone, I won't beat around the bush. They were indeed invited by me to test you on behalf of Xiao Yu Nie, and also to provoke you. Although I don't know why you say you don't like Xiao Yu Nie when you clearly have feelings for her, you also know that Xiao Yu Nie is quite pretty, has a good personality, and cooks well. If she really wants to let go of you and find someone to spend her life with, it would be easy for her. Don't be like me, regretting not cherishing her when you lost her."
Hearing this, Yan Wenjing lowered his eyes and began to think deeply. He hadn't thought about it that way before. Since recognizing Qin Yunie, he had taken care of her in every way because of his good relationship with her brother. But this not only caused her to misunderstand, but even his subordinates thought the same way.
He still remembered that night when Qin Yunie asked him if he liked her, he really didn't think about it that way.
But now that I think about it, were his actions really as purely caring as he thought?
He was close to several of his sisters, but he treated them all with indifference. If something happened, he might help them out of politeness, but he wouldn't be as considerate as he was. He was worried about her getting hurt, so he specially went to find her a golden silk robe and a jade pendant with his scent. Knowing that she wanted to learn magic, he specially went to find a cultivation method suitable for her constitution.
Even when she was drunk and did that to him, he could only feel helpless.
He has severe mysophobia, yet he tolerated her nearly vomiting on him and even cleaned her up, using this as an excuse to get her to cook for him.
These things would never have happened to anyone else!
After guessing who Qin Yunie was, the first thing he did was to look up her biography. Yan Wenjing might have used the excuse of taking care of a friend in the past, but now it seemed that this reason was completely untenable.
Who takes care of their friend's younger sister in this way?
He's just taking advantage of the fact that she doesn't have her past memories!
When he learned that someone had confessed their feelings to her, he immediately sent her a message, telling her to focus on her career. As for the reason behind this, only he himself knows what he was really thinking.
Upon hearing that others were having dinner with Lin Lan today, he even complained that the normal journey from the underworld to the human world was too slow, and directly chose to use the aura he had left on Qin Yunie as a bridge to appear. Was he worried that Lin Lan would do something to her, or did he have other intentions?
Even when Hu Jiu pounced on her, he did things that were out of character for him, and when he heard Hu Jiu's words, his face darkened. Although he could explain these actions as him treating Qin Yune as a younger sister, which is why he acted so abnormally.
But Qin Yunie is not related to him by blood, and Pei Yan has not even asked him to help take care of his sister. Even now, after all this time, he has not even told Pei Yan about her.
Others could see his intentions more clearly than he did, but he couldn't. Even though Pei Yan hadn't asked him to take care of her, he did so many things under the pretext of taking care of Pei Yan's sister.
Even when Qin Yunie asked him if he liked her, he denied his feelings, afraid of hurting her.
Yan Wenjing sighed, rubbing his forehead in exasperation. He was really getting more and more senile.
After thinking it through, Yan Wenjing stopped hiding his intentions and said to Meng Po, "I'll let it go this time, but if something like this happens again, don't blame me for handling it according to the rules!"
Seeing the change in Yama's expression, Meng Po raised an eyebrow. "In what capacity are you speaking to me, Yama? As Yama himself, or as Xiao Yu Nie's future husband? If it's as Yama, as his subordinate, Meng Po has no choice but to obey. But if it's as Xiao Yu Nie's future husband..."
The drawn-out tone of Meng Po's name made Yan Wenjing's brow twitch, reminding him of Qin Yune calling Meng Po...
If we follow this generational hierarchy, wouldn't things be chaotic?
Yan Wenjing exuded a suffocating aura of pressure. His sharp gaze swept down upon those below as if he could see through everything. He spoke slowly and deliberately, "In what capacity do you think I should address you?"
Meng Po's smile froze instantly. She quickly lowered her head and respectfully replied, "Meng Po obeys the King of Hell's decree!"
Just then, Judge Cui, standing anxiously outside the Yama King's Palace, stood on tiptoe and craned his neck to peer into the palace. His cell phone kept ringing, but he had no time to pay attention to it.
A few more minutes passed before Meng Po finally came out.
Several more minutes passed before Meng Po slowly emerged from inside. Remembering King Yama's earlier instructions, Meng Po couldn't help but feel a chill for Qin Yu Nie; she could only hope for the best.
When Judge Cui, who had been waiting outside, saw Meng Po emerge, his previously tense and serious face immediately showed a hint of urgency. He rushed forward in three steps and asked impatiently, "Meng Po, you've finally come out! What did King Yama say to you?"
Meng Po frowned slightly and deliberately put on a stern face, saying, "Go and collect your soul whips yourselves, and I'll deduct a year's salary."
Upon hearing this, Judge Cui felt as if his heart had fallen into an ice cellar, instantly turning ice-cold. He knew that the King of Hell wouldn't let him off so easily!
