Although Liu Lieyu can be hateful at times, he is a man of his word.
The next day, Liu Lieyu took me to the Council Hall.
On my way to the council hall, I felt extremely uneasy.
My purpose in going to the Council Hall this time is not simply to show off my affection in front of Fei Yan, but to bring something that happened ten thousand years ago to the present. I am not sure if I have the ability to do so.
I took a deep breath, reassuring myself that I could do it. I possessed all of Nü Xin's memories; I knew everything Nü Xin knew. I inherited Nü Xin's magic, her combat skills, and her magical artifacts. If I wanted, I could even try to solve the Dao using Nü Xin's mindset. I am Nü Xin. As an ordinary person, I might lose, but Nü Xin would never lose.
"Xin'er, what are you so nervous about?" Liu Lieyu reached out and put his hand on the back of my neck.
"It's been too long since I've been to the Council Hall of Guixu."
Liu Lieyu laughed loudly, "This is your home, and the people in the Council of State are all old acquaintances of yours."
I was secretly surprised. These old guys from ten thousand years ago are still alive? It seems that the average lifespan of Guixu is quite long.
"Lieyu, what do you deal with every day at the Council Hall? Is it the war with the Heavenly Court?"
"The Heavenly Court has long since ceased its wars." Liu Lieyu leaned lazily against the armchair of the divine chariot, his legs crossed.
"Not fighting anymore?" I was shocked; this was the first time I had ever heard of such a thing.
"Hmm." Liu Lieyu squinted. "I didn't originally want that wretched place called Heavenly Court. It just so happened that the new ruler of Heavenly Court came to sue for peace, so I naturally agreed."
"The new ruler of Heaven?"
"What was the name of your former subordinate? Luo Shen, yes, that's him."
Luo has become the ruler of Heaven? That's wonderful, he's finally gotten what he wanted. A smile involuntarily crept onto my face.
Liu Lieyu seemed to have lost his mind again. Seeing me laughing, he snorted unhappily and said, "Heh, when I went to the Heavenly Court to plot to capture you and Youyuan, he was the one who ran the fastest."
I ignored Liu Lieyu's grumbling and complaints. In such a critical situation, knowing that we couldn't win, why didn't we run away and preserve our strength? Were we just going to give up for nothing?
If Feng Su had chosen to run away back then, no one would have chased her, and she wouldn't have been caught by Liu Lieyu and his group, and she would still be mentally unstable to this day.
When Liu Lieyu saw that I was ignoring him, he closed his eyes to rest. I tried to do the same, but while Liu Lieyu closed his eyes to rest, I actually fell asleep as soon as I closed them.
"Xin'er, we're here." Liu Lieyu gave me a hard push.
I barely opened one eye and saw Liu Lieyu's large face under the azure sky. Only then did I realize that we had arrived at the Council Hall.
I hurriedly got up, haphazardly touched the corner of my mouth to make sure there was no drool, and then gracefully and elegantly dismounted from the divine carriage.
In the past, I would always go through the back door to the council hall via a side path, but today I walked with Liu Lieyu through the square in front of the council hall, where people were already kneeling on both sides.
Liu Lieyu held court every three days. On ordinary days, minor matters were handled by the officials themselves, and major matters that the officials could not decide were left to be discussed with Liu Lieyu at the court meeting.
Knowing I was coming to the Council Hall today, Wisteria specially styled her hair in an elegant and dignified manner and wore a proper ancient robe. Fortunately, there were palanquins along the way, so I didn't have to walk more than a few steps, otherwise I would have been exhausted.
As I passed by the crowd of people kneeling in the square, I glanced over and wow, there were more than ten thousand people kneeling in the square.
Does such a small place as Guixu have so many things to deal with?
