Qingcheng, who had just learned that Qiyou had 'disappeared,' was furious in the palace because she couldn't believe that Qiyou would actually dare to sneak off to the border city behind her back.
"That guy is really something! I told him not to be in such a hurry, not to be in such a hurry. The Greedy Wolf and the Double-Headed Water Dragon are both difficult to deal with, but he just wouldn't listen. I didn't send him any troops, and he still dared to go alone. He's going to drive me crazy!"
Qingcheng was truly angry. Last time, Qiyou almost didn't make it back from the Demon Realm, and this time he dared to assassinate Tanlang himself. Wasn't he afraid that he might really not be able to come back?!
"Damn it! I'm so angry! Is this stinky wolf out of his mind? He has plenty of time to kill Greedy Wolf, why rush this one?"
Qingcheng was so angry that he cursed right there in the council hall. The person who came to him to report was the one who told him that Qiyou had gone to the border city. That person was a tree spirit. He lowered his head meekly and said, "Your Majesty, then, what should we do now? Should we send reinforcements or persuade Chief Qiyou to come back?"
"It's no use. Since Qiyou has already gone there, you can't persuade him to come back. As for sending troops there, although the border city is very chaotic, if a large number of strangers enter, it will still attract attention. So we can't alarm Tanlang and the Double-Headed Water Dragon."
"So what should we do? Persuasion doesn't work, and sending troops doesn't work either."
The tree spirit felt this matter was quite troublesome, so it had no idea what to do.
Qingcheng didn't know what to do either. He thought and thought but couldn't come up with a good solution, so he had no choice but to ask the tree spirit to leave.
"Alright, I'll think of another way. You may leave now."
Seeing that the tree spirit had left the council hall, Lord Hongyan, who had been behind the screen, came out with a bowl of ice cream. He smiled and said to Qingcheng, "Alright, Qingcheng, don't be angry. At worst, I'll go to the border city and help Qiyou kill Tanlang. Come on, it's so hot, you should have some ice cream~"
Qingcheng was initially quite angry, but after seeing the colorful ice cream in Hongyan Shenjun's hand, his anger subsided considerably. He took the ice cream and, while eating it, complained to Hongyan Shenjun, "Qiyou is such a big demon now, how come he's so stubborn? I told him it was dangerous, but he just wouldn't listen. I deliberately didn't send him any troops so he wouldn't take any risks, and what did I get in return? He actually went off all by himself! Can you believe how angry I am?"
As Hongyan Shenjun listened to Qingcheng's angry outburst, he naturally reached out and put his arm around her shoulder. Qingcheng was so engrossed in her accusations that she didn't even realize she was being taken advantage of.
He continued babbling on and on: "Damn it, no, I've spoiled him too much. I can't keep spoiling him like this. How can a clan leader just leave like that? That's so irresponsible! I have to go find him, and when I find him, I'll give him a good beating!"
Just as Qingcheng said he was going to find Qiyou, he was unexpectedly pulled into a warm embrace by a large hand. His chin was lifted by a long, beautiful finger, and that person was none other than Lord Hongyan.
When Qingcheng looked up, she saw Hongyan Shenjun looking at her with a helpless yet somewhat angry expression, and saying in a rather unfriendly tone, "Qingcheng, is Qiyou the only one in your eyes? I know you are good brothers with him, and it is only right that you care about him, but don't you think you are being too over the top?"
"You already know he's my good brother, isn't it normal for me to care about him? How is that going too far?"
Qingcheng felt very uncomfortable being held by Hongyan Shenjun, so she tried to break free from his embrace. However, Hongyan Shenjun was holding her too tightly, and she couldn't break free, so she shouted, "Hey, let go!"
"Hehe~ And what about me? You care so much about your good brother, so what about me? Where do I stand in your heart? Am I much lower than your good brother? If I went to a very dangerous place today, would you still care about me like this?"
"You? Of course you do too, you care just as much..."
For some reason, when Lord Hongyan asked Qingcheng his question, Qingcheng seemed to sense that he was a little sad, so she immediately took back the words she was about to say, "Lord Hongyan, you are so powerful, it is impossible for you to encounter any danger."
