I searched the entire Taihui Palace but couldn't find You. I had no choice but to sit in the place where You usually worked. The last time I came here, the main hall was bustling with activity, but this time it was empty.
"Xinhuang, are you alright?" Chang Xi asked cautiously from behind me.
I shook my head. "I'm fine. I'm just worried about You."
Chang Xi thought for a moment and comforted me, "Emperor You will be alright. Emperor Xin, don't worry."
I nodded, looked at the empty palace, and sighed, "Let's go back."
The plot had already gone completely awry by the time I arrived. It would be a lie to say I wasn't panicked. I was just an ordinary college student who suddenly found myself in this world of gods and monsters. Fighting and killing were the most common things in this world, but I was scared. The most painful thing I'd ever experienced in my twenty years of life was simply tripping and falling while walking. If it really turned into a war between demons and gods like before, I think I might be so scared my legs would go weak.
I was thinking about all sorts of random things the whole way, and I didn't even know how I got back.
Back in my palace, I sat there blankly for a while. Suddenly, Changxi nudged me and whispered, "Emperor You is here."
I looked up in confusion and sure enough, I saw You walking in. I quickly went up to her and looked her over carefully before asking, "Are you alright?"
"No." You shook your head with a smile and ruffled my hair helplessly. "You found out? I can never hide it from you. I wonder who was the one who kept talking nonsense to you."
"How could you not tell me about something so important?" I punched You's chest with a reproachful tone.
"It's not that scary, they're just a bunch of old fogies who just woke up." You looked at me and explained softly, a hint of helplessness in her expression.
"That's an ancient god, You, let's not go. Wouldn't it be better if we found a place to hide?" I tugged at You's sleeve, still very worried.
“Hiding isn’t the solution,” You said to me seriously. “We enjoy the highest treatment and privileges, so we must bear the responsibility. How can we just walk away?”
I was stunned when I heard what You said. When did You become so enlightened?
Wait a minute, this isn't the script for the villainous second male lead, is it?
You found my surprised look somewhat amusing. "What? Is it strange that I'm saying this? Didn't you tell Liu Lieyu before that you wanted to protect the Three Realms?"
My face flushed instantly, and I muttered under my breath, "I was just saying that to be polite."
Well, actually, whether it's some ancient demon god or some random bunch of people, if they want to be the overlord, let them be. In my opinion, it doesn't matter who's the boss.
Seeing my ashamed expression, You laughed heartily, pulled me into the inner room and sat me down, then whispered in my ear, "Actually, I was just saying that to be polite."
"Huh?" A warm breath tickled my ear.
You pulled me into her arms, rested her chin on the top of my head, and slowly explained, "I mainly feel that this matter is very likely related to Liu Lieyu."
"Liu Lieyu?"
You nodded, "Although we haven't figured out exactly what Liu Lieyu did, I have a feeling that it's definitely related to him."
"You, I want to go with you."
You glanced at me, thought for a moment, and said, "Okay, but you have to listen to me and not do anything reckless."
"Okay, I will definitely listen to you obediently."
