I lowered my eyes, and once I was closer to Liu Lieyu, I knew I had to ask him about this.
Guixu is far from Changbai Mountain, and I have no magic power. I thought Liu Lieyu would carry me or ride me in a divine carriage or something, but I never expected that Liu Lieyu would use this method to take me from Guixu to the foot of Changbai Mountain in an instant.
Memory replay.
"Lieyu, aren't we going to Changbai Mountain? Where are we going?" After leaving the palace, Liu Lieyu led me unhurriedly toward the Hall of State Affairs. After passing the Hall of State Affairs, we walked forward. Wasn't that where Liu Lieyu's subjects lived?
"We're going to Changbai Mountain, but we're just going to find someone to help us."
"Looking for someone? Who?" I was quite puzzled. Fei Yan? But Fei Yan's palace wasn't in this direction.
"You'll understand when you see him later," Liu Lieyu said with a mysterious smile.
"It's you!"
Again, those familiar white hairs, and that familiar mirror!
The person before me is none other than Wu, who deceived me.
I gave Wu a cold laugh. "Were you happy lying to me back then?"
Without bowing, he apologized to my luggage, saying, "I'm sorry, it was all out of necessity."
"Unavoidable circumstances?" I was about to retort when Liu Lieyu turned to look at me and said, "Xin'er, it was all my idea."
My face flushed red, and I swallowed back the words that were on the tip of my tongue, instead forcing a smile.
Damn it, once I regain my magic power and rescue You, you villains will pay!
He smiled at me without any apology, then turned to Liu Lieyu and asked, "Donghuang, what brings you here today?"
I scoffed inwardly. "You have a mirror, don't you? Why don't you see yourself? My You is still the best. Even if the other person is You's most important subordinate, the Witch Immortal, You still protects me at all times. And look at this Liu Lieyu who claims to love me, he clearly didn't have a single intention to protect me just now, and even deliberately opposed me. How despicable!"
"I'd like to borrow your mirror."
"Okay." Wu nodded and handed the mirror to Liu Lieyu, then asked, "How is Lingling now?"
After a pause, Liu Lieyu, who had just taken the hand, spoke steadily, "Everything is fine."
Wu nodded thoughtfully.
"Xin'er, do you still remember this place?" Liu Lieyu's words pulled me out of my memories.
I looked closely and saw Liu Lieyu pointing to the former Liu family mansion.
I smiled faintly, lifted the hem of my skirt, and ran to Liu Lieyu with small, quick steps. "Of course I remember. We spent a long time here. I thought we would be here forever."
I glanced up at the two large characters "Liu Residence" on the gate and sneered inwardly. Even if the house was still there, so what? The people inside had all changed. Liu Lieyu's older brother and sister had all met with misfortune, and even Liu Lieyu's servants were all gone. The once prosperous Liu Residence was now just an empty shell.
"Yes." A hint of nostalgia flashed across Liu Lieyu's face, but it quickly disappeared.
"Lieyu, why don't we move back here?" I said, tugging at Liu Lieyu's sleeve. "I don't like Guixu, I like Changbai Mountain. We can call Lingling and the others back, and wouldn't it be nice for our family to live happily here?"
Actually, I don't like Changbai Mountain either.
I lied to Liu Lieyu, saying the only reason I wanted to stay here was because Changbai Mountain wasn't within Liu Lieyu's Guixu territory, and it was closer to the Heavenly Court. Although I didn't know the current situation of the Heavenly Court, it was still much better than staying in Liu Lieyu's stronghold, Guixu.
"You want to stay here?"
"Yes." I nodded emphatically.
"I'll bring you here after I've finished taking care of everything."
Damn, it's that same old excuse again. You men always have so many things to deal with.
