Chapter 1045 His Majesty the Vermilion Bird (Sixty-one)
Gu Yan lowered his eyes and continued, "You're saying that Gu Yuan gave them the capital to seize everything, but didn't intend to give them the luck to fight for it. Isn't that just playing games with people?"
Just like before, Gu Yuan gave him a chance, but then cut off all his future prospects and escape routes, forcing him to...
"Is Your Majesty recalling the past? Your Majesty, rest assured, His Majesty the Heavenly Emperor has already made plans. We just need to help His Majesty the Heavenly Emperor." Lu Lingjun patted Gu Yanjing's hand to comfort him.
"I know all that, but, Lingjun, tell me, what should I do?" He had no way to intervene in the situation in the Heavenly Realm.
"Zhuque, Gu Yuan came to see you a few days ago," Lu Lingjun whispered to Gu Yanjing.
They set up a barrier around themselves, so outsiders could only see them talking, but couldn't hear what they were saying.
"You want me to break my promise?" Gu Yanjing grabbed Lu Lingjun's wrist with his other hand.
"This isn't the first time Zhuque has broken his promise." Practice makes perfect, after all.
Gu Yanjing retorted incredulously, "When have I ever broken my promise?"
Lu Lingjun chuckled: "Zhuque has forgotten. Back then, Zhuque and I made a promise that when I returned from my tribulation in the cycle of reincarnation, she would accompany me to the Phoenix Clan to see the Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix. But when I returned, Zhuque stayed in the human realm, her personality changed drastically, and she was unwilling to go see the Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix with Brother Lingjun."
At this point, a hint of melancholy unconsciously welled up in Lu Lingjun's eyes, as if he were filled with deep regret.
"I... I'll go with you another time when I have the chance." Gu Yan opened his mouth in surprise, wanting to refute, but he was indeed in the wrong and couldn't refute it at all.
This feeling of being so guilty that you can't even find a valid reason to curse someone—only Lu Lingjun could pull off this.
"Alright, you said it yourself, Zhuque, so you can't go back on your word." Lu Lingjun leaned in and kissed Gu Yanjing's cheek, completely ignoring the stares from those around them.
He's thick-skinned and can handle it.
However, Gu Yanjing couldn't hold back any longer and couldn't help but pinch Lu Lingjun's arm: "Move away a bit."
Lu Lingjun didn't move. Instead, he smiled and continued to Gu Yanjing, "Zhuque, look at this plane. If it were completely out of Gu Yuan's control, what would happen to Gu Yuan?"
Gu Yanjing pursed his lips and remained silent.
Lu Lingjun spoke exactly what he was thinking.
If Gu Yanjing was just casually killing the male lead for fun before, now even Nan Wan'er can't escape.
For some reason, Nan Wan'er felt a chill run through her body and couldn't help but look up at the barrier and the like, while Gu Yanjing looked on with a strange expression.
Nan Wan'er: I'll f*** you.
Furthermore, the plot must be absolutely terrible, even now.
Gu Congxin: I'll f*** you.
So he took a sip of tea and said, "Go into the secret realm."
Lu Lingjun took a sip from Gu Yanjing's teacup and exclaimed that the tea was really fragrant.
"Does Your Majesty want me to kill these prodigies?"
"Hmm, what's wrong? You don't like it?" Gu Yanjing nodded.
"Your Majesty, if we want to completely change the fate of this plane, we should keep these prodigies alive and let them seize all the luck of the male and female protagonists. After they have seized it, they can be used by Your Majesty, and Your Majesty can rule the entire plane in one fell swoop."
Lu Lingjun smiled and shook his head, pointing to the prodigy in the water mirror.
Gu Yanjing remained silent for a moment, staring at the heroic Lu Lingjun with a strange look in his eyes, and slowly said, "Lu Lingjun, do you have some kind of obsession with unifying the world?"
