There are too many mysteries left by the original owner: Feng Su's seal, the drastic change in temperament, and many other strange things. Although I found them strange before, I never investigated them in depth. I wonder if the changes in the original owner are related to Liu Lieyu.

"Xin'er, what are you thinking about?" Liu Lieyu stopped and turned around to ask.

"It's nothing." I shook my head. Oh no, I came here today to gain the respect and affection of the people of Guixu, but I didn't do anything. I sighed. Why do I keep getting distracted?

Liu Lieyu glanced at me and said to himself, "After you joined the team, they were quite dissatisfied with you."

Liu Lieyu was indeed very polite. Those people just now were more than just dissatisfied with me; they practically wanted to kill me to vent their anger. Although only Fei Yan stood up to speak, I could tell from the expressions of the others that they all agreed.

It seems that everyone around me was handpicked by Liu Lieyu; they have never shown me any resentment.

"But don't worry, those who are dissatisfied with you are all old people from our generation. The newcomers of Guixu won't think that way. They only know you as the Empress of Guixu, the Goddess of War of Guixu."

Liu Lieyu and I walked hand in hand from the Hall of State Affairs to my palace. Every now and then, Liu Lieyu would turn around and give me a few words of advice, looking gentle and harmless.

I occasionally glanced up at Liu Lieyu as he chattered on and on. His fair skin seemed to glow in the sunlight, and his small, rosy lips opened and closed as he spoke, his eyes full of smiles.

I lowered my eyes, thinking how wonderful it would be if Liu Lieyu could always be like he was now. But I knew that beneath his handsome and beautiful exterior lay a paranoid and morbid heart.

I know he loves me, I know he's good to me, but I don't like him, and I don't have the strength to save another broken soul.

"Xin'er." Liu Lieyu suddenly stopped.

"What's wrong?" I stopped and almost bumped into Liu Lieyu.

"It's nothing." Liu Lieyu shook his head with a smile. "I just wanted to call out to you. I don't know why, even though you're right next to me, I feel like you're very far away."

I lowered my eyes and remained silent.

"Let's go." Liu Lieyu shook his head and pulled me along as we continued walking slowly.

For half a month, I went to the Council Hall every day.

The things they discussed were nothing more than where another fight had broken out, and who had clashed with whom. The people of Guixu were naturally unrestrained, and they would fight to the death at the slightest disagreement. The ancestors of Guixu were originally fierce and cruel demon gods. For the next ten thousand years, all those who came to Guixu were either fugitives who had caused great trouble outside, or wanted criminals hunted down by the Heavenly Court.

Sometimes I admire Fei Yan and Liu Lieyu for being able to unite and manage such a group of people, even though the security situation isn't great.

The Heavenly Court was a peaceful place. At most, everyone would bicker, but most of the time they would cultivate and comprehend the Dao in their own caves. Compared to the people of Guixu, their combat power was simply crushed into dust.

After my efforts over the past two weeks, most of the people in the main hall have changed their impression of me and no longer have the resistance they had at the beginning.

Fei Yan spoke less and less, spending most of her time standing silently in the main hall, lost in thought.

"Xin'er is right, let's do as Xin'er says."

Liu Lieyu praised me in public once again and carried out what I had just said.

I glanced at Fei Yan's expression, and she was still looking down at the floor, as if there were flowers on the floor.

I'm going to see Fei Yan again tonight, and this time I'm about 50% sure I'll succeed.
