You went to Taihui Palace to handle government affairs, while I, as usual, dragged Changxi around the Immortal Realm.
A furtive figure ahead caught my attention. Wasn't that Fan Li?
"What are you doing?" I suddenly leaned closer, which, unsurprisingly, startled Fan Li again.
Seeing that I was much calmer this time, Fan Li pulled out a dark object from his pocket and asked, "Do you know what this is?"
I stared at it closely, and it was even more horrifying than the last time I saw a phone. "Isn't this... isn't this VR?"
"Wow, you know how smart humans are these days! The VR games they've invented are so much fun!!" Fan Li exclaimed, his eyes shining.
I was stunned for a moment. "You really are a game enthusiast!" But I also curiously examined the device in Fan Li's hand. I knew that such things existed before, but I hadn't had much contact with them.
"Can we play?"
Fan Li shook his head regretfully, "No internet."
"What a pity." I looked at it with a bit of reluctance. If I could play, I would have liked to play a couple of rounds.
"Xinhuang, could you..." Fanli shook his head before he could finish his sentence, "Sigh, never mind. Things have been so turbulent lately, I'd better not cause you any more trouble."
"Not peaceful? What happened?" I was puzzled when Fan Li said something was wrong. Everything had been fine recently. Had something happened that I didn't know about?
"Don't you know?" Fan Li looked at me in surprise.
"What exactly happened?" I asked quickly.
"Haven't you noticed that Emperor You has been very busy lately?"
"He's always been quite busy."
Fan Li was furious at my appearance. "Didn't you notice anything amiss when Emperor You returned?"
"Just tell me directly, what exactly happened?"
"Recently, the ancient demon gods who died have all been resurrected. Some of the powerful ancient gods who were sealed away have had their seals become unstable recently, as if they could break at any moment. The Nether Emperor has been busy suppressing them all this time. As for the weaker ones, he has sent many immortals to kill them."
"What did you say?" I stared at Fan Li with wide eyes. Impossible! What ancient demon god? Wasn't he dead long ago? How could he be resurrected? There was nothing like that in the original plot.
"Don't believe me? Go to Taihui Palace and see if you can spot Emperor You." Seeing my disbelief, Fan Li pointed confidently in the direction of Taihui Palace. "Now, all the powerful immortals in the celestial realm have gone down to the mortal world to suppress them. I think war is about to break out."
I'm a little panicked. How could this happen? If a fight breaks out, will You get hurt? No wonder You, who loves beauty, has had dark circles under her eyes lately. She must be overworking herself.
I left Fan Li behind and headed straight for Taihui Palace, secretly praying that it wouldn't be as Fan Li said. I hoped that as soon as I entered Taihui Palace, I would see You Zhao working as usual. Although I knew in my heart that what Fan Li said must be true, he would never lie to me like that.
"Your Majesty." Upon seeing me, the guards at the gate of Taihui Palace quickly put down their weapons and saluted me.
"I want to go in."
The guards exchanged a somewhat embarrassed glance. "Your Majesty, Emperor You is currently handling state affairs with the immortals. He will come to see you later when he has finished."
"Get out of the way!" This was the first time I had used such a serious tone in all the time I had been a female reporter.
Seeing my firm stance, the guards dared not stop me any longer and silently stepped aside to let me in.
