Man Jiao'er glanced at me and lowered her eyes to answer, "Who among the people of the Abyss doesn't want to get out? I've heard since I was a child how bright and dazzling the outside world is, how could I not yearn for it? I know you're new to the Abyss and haven't gotten used to it yet, but once you're in the Abyss, getting out is as difficult as climbing to the sky. How many people have tried to get out but were strangled by the spiritual energy of Kunlun Mountain before they even saw the sunlight. I advise you not to act rashly."
I chuckled twice and said, "Thank you for the reminder, Miss Man. I was just asking to make sure I didn't act rashly."
"That's good. Young Master, please don't call me Miss Man anymore, just call me Jiao'er." Jiao'er breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this and then said, "Young Master, although I don't know why Lord Sun and Moon summoned you, I suggest you go. You haven't been in the Abyss long, so it would be wonderful if you could gain Lord Sun and Moon's favor."
"Hahaha." I laughed loudly, "Maybe the Sun and Moon Lord will even grant me the title of city lord."
Jiao'er covered her mouth and laughed, "What's a city lord? It would be amazing to be able to take up a post in Sun and Moon City."
"No matter how high the rank of the Sun and Moon City official, it's not as leisurely as being the lord of a city," I said with a grin.
While I was chatting with Man Jiao'er, dishes were slowly being served. I took a bite and found that the taste was much better than that of the City Lord's Mansion. No wonder it was recommended by Jiao'er.
I finished the last sip of soup and put down the bowl. "Jiao'er, I won't go back to the city lord's mansion with you yet. I need to go find my friend first."
"good."
"Be careful when you go back later." I couldn't help but remind Jiao'er. Although I knew that Lingcheng was where Jiao'er grew up, the sudden appearance of Yue Jiao today made me worry.
"Okay, don't worry." Jiao'er smiled to reassure me.
After giving me repeated instructions, I got up and left. Although I couldn't remember the route, I was glad that I still had the things I had given Luo last time, so I could use them to find Luo's whereabouts.
Following the clues, I quickly found the place where Luo and the others were staying. Jin Yu and Hao were nowhere to be seen. Luo was sitting alone in the courtyard, holding a scroll and studying it carefully. Feng Su was lying not far from Luo, with a book covering his face and not moving at all. He had obviously fallen asleep.
Luo noticed my approach and shifted his gaze from his book. He looked up and, seeing it was me, was not surprised. He calmly stood up and greeted me, "My lord."
I nodded slightly and said, "I saw Yuejiao today."
"Moon's speed is so fast, has Your Majesty thought it through?" Luo frowned slightly upon hearing this and asked me again.
"He asked me to go to Sun and Moon City to say that Lord Sun and Moon invited me." I pondered for a moment and then relayed what Yue Jiao had told me to Luo.
Upon hearing this, Luo frowned and murmured, "A trap?"
I said, "I don't think so, Luo, I want to go."
"What?" Luo Gu's usually expressionless face finally showed a hint of emotion, with a trace of surprise in his eyes.
“Luo, you came to the Abyss with me. You’ve seen everything I’ve seen along the way. Do you really think all the demons and monsters here are unforgivable? I want to talk to Sun and Moon Lord. Maybe we can reach a win-win solution. If we continue to let the Abyss go unchecked, I think all the creatures in the Abyss will eventually unite and rebel.”
Luo nodded in agreement after hearing my words, "My lord, that's right. With the current development of the Abyss, it is fully capable of waging war. I have no objection to my lord wanting to discuss cooperation, but this matter can be discussed by sending another celestial official after my lord returns to the Heavenly Court. Why should my lord take the risk personally?"
I shook my head. "They already know that I invited you to the Abyss. If I refuse and they send someone else instead, wouldn't that tell the people of the Abyss that the so-called Lord of Heaven is nothing but a coward who is afraid of death and will be ridiculed? How can the Sun and Moon Lord believe our sincerity?"
