"Where are the others?"
Perhaps it was Yuejiao's lead that had an effect, because from inside the hall came two or three voices of agreement, indicating that people were willing to go and see what was happening outside.
Looking at You Yun's calm and collected demeanor, I wondered if You really had a way to get the people from the Abyss out.
The voices of agreement gradually increased, and You coughed lightly, instantly restoring the prince's tranquility.
"In that case, let's all go together." You glanced around and spoke calmly, then suddenly turned to me and waved, "Xin'er, come here."
Youming's blatant calling of my name made me a little nervous. I could already imagine that His Highness's men were all eagerly waiting to see who I was.
Although I have always been by You's side, because I reside in the inner palace and have never shown my face in front of others, these people do not know me.
I hesitated for a moment before deciding to go out. What kind of big scene haven't I seen? Why should I be afraid of a few people?
I walked straight to You's side. When You saw me approach, she stood up to greet me and naturally took my hand, introducing me to the prince and his ministers, "This is my wife."
The ministers exchanged glances, and a few astute individuals took the lead in kneeling and bowing to greet the Lady.
Lady Jun? This is the first time I've ever heard of such a title.
"No need for formalities." I spoke softly, then whispered in You's ear, "Do you really have a way to get the people from the Abyss out?"
You nodded slightly. "Of course."
"Come with me." After saying that, You pulled them out of the outer hall first. In front of the outer hall was a spacious square.
You walked at the front, followed by a group of ministers. You turned around, glanced at the crowd, and took my hand.
The next second, light appeared from the darkness.
The crowd behind them stared in disbelief at the scene before them, some kneeling and shouting. The once orderly line had now become somewhat chaotic.
Even I was a bit confused. I wasn't confused about how You could lead us out of the abyss so easily; what confused me was how these people could be completely unharmed in the sunlight.
I watched with my own eyes as Jinyu turned to ashes in the sunlight.
"You, how... how did you do that?" I tugged at You's sleeve and looked at the crowd behind me.
“I cast a spell on them,” You whispered in my ear.
I wanted to ask more questions, but with so many people around, I decided against it.
I stood there for a long time, gazing at the long-lost green hills and clear waters.
However, this place looks somewhat familiar.
Upon closer inspection, I realized that this was the very landscape where You Fengsu and I had been hiding.
Why did You bring us here? But then I realized what was going on.
If I remember correctly, there's also the formation that You made here. No wonder You was able to lead so many people out of the abyss in just a moment; they must have taken the same route we used to escape.
You looked around and, seeing that the ministers had gradually regained their composure, spoke again, "Now you all believe me, right?"
The ministers knelt and shouted the slogans of the Sun and Moon Lord.
You said coldly, "Get up."
After we finished speaking, we were back in the square in front of the outer hall in the blink of an eye.
"Let's call it a day." After saying that, You grabbed my hand and left.
There were people in the outer hall, but no one was allowed to enter the inner hall, so there was no one on our way back. That's when I asked, "You, what was that spell you were talking about?"
You glanced at me and said, "It can help them block out external interference."
Is this reliable?
I witnessed Jin Yu's tragic fate firsthand, so I don't want anyone else in the Abyss to die like Jin Yu.
"Um."
In the days that followed, You became increasingly busy, and I rarely saw her when I was in the inner palace.
I only know what You has done because of the news that Feng Su occasionally hears.
Since the day You led a group of ministers to the Green Waters, the news gradually spread, and the entire Abyss was like a pot that had exploded, with all sorts of rumors and public indignation.
“Master, you have no idea how the people of the Abyss are feeling lately.”
What's wrong with their emotions?
"The people of the Abyss are all in high spirits and looking forward to war."
I remained silent for a moment. It seemed that You's method had indeed stirred up the passion of the masses. How many people in the abyss did not yearn for the sun? They had been trapped underground for tens of thousands of years and were already overwhelmed.
"What about Liu Lieyu's army?"
Feng Su scratched his head, "I haven't heard that Liu Lieyu's army is going to enter the country."
"However, Master, with our momentum, if Liu Lieyu dares to come, we will make sure he never returns."
Although the situation is very good now, I can't shake the worry in my heart. I always feel that something big is about to happen.
"It's better to be careful."
"Master, don't worry."
"Have you forgotten how we lost before?" The thought of those days in Guixu sent chills down my spine, and the time when You collapsed...
Feng Su remained silent for a long time, then looked at me firmly and said, "This time, we must make Liu Lieyu suffer."
Let's hope so.
The public outrage in the abyss lasted for several days, but there was still no movement from Liu Lieyu's side.
The more composed Liu Lieyu became, the more I felt he was preparing a major move... My heart was filled with increasing panic.
"Xin'er".
"You, are you done with your work?"
I looked up and saw You rushing towards me; I hadn't seen You for several days.
Youyue has been very busy lately, and I haven't seen him often. Sometimes I even go to the outer hall to look for him, but he's nowhere to be found.
According to Feng Su, You has been training soldiers recently.
"Xin'er, why do you look so pale?" You sat down next to me, stroked my face with one hand, and asked with concern.
I subconsciously touched my face, then hurriedly asked, "You, I heard from Feng Su that you've been training troops lately?"
“That’s right.” You nodded and continued, “Xin’er, once everything is over, I will stay by your side every day.”
"It doesn't matter whether you come with me or not. I know this is a crucial moment, and I don't want to hold you back, but..."
"But what?" You asked softly, as if afraid of startling me. "Feng Su said you've been having nightmares lately? Are you worried about me?"
"Mmm." I nodded and held You's hand tightly. "You, I'm so scared. I'm so scared of losing you again."
She pulled me into her arms and said, "I assure you, this time I am absolutely unharmed."
"Really?" I gripped You's clothes tightly, as if holding onto You would prevent her from leaving me.
"Don't worry, I swear I won't get hurt." You wasn't annoyed by my inexplicable worry; instead, she reassured me with great patience.
I sniffed, wrapped my arms around You's neck, and savored this rare moment. After You left, it would probably be a while before we could see each other again.
"How's your troop training going?"
"The demons of the abyss are no less powerful than Liu Lieyu's demon horde."
"Are you sure? Liu Lieyu's subordinates are all ancient demon gods."
