Originally they were planning to leave Xuye alone for a while. After all, everyone knew that he would not have a good ending, including himself. But the process of waiting for the knife to fall from his head was the most painful.
Wen Qi just wanted Xuye to feel this pain a little longer.
However, before leaving, she thought about it and decided that it would be better to resolve the issue as soon as possible. In case something unexpected happened during their journey, it would affect their mood.
After seeing Xuye again, Wen Qi felt completely different, a sense of relief he had never felt before.
Xuye didn't react when he saw her, but when he looked at Feng Ce, his expression changed, "Who are you?"
He only realized now that he had neglected Feng Ce, a nominally ordinary person. Thinking carefully, there were several times when the plan failed, and Feng Ce was behind it.
And... Xuye looked at Feng Ce carefully. The more he looked, the more he felt something was wrong. His aura and appearance did not seem like that of an ordinary ghost.
Feng Ce glanced at him calmly without saying anything.
Wen Qi curled his lips and smiled, "It's pathetic that you still don't know why you failed even with the support of the Ghost Emperor."
Xuye pursed his lips, "Did the Emperor of Fengdu intervene?" Wen Qi had obviously been sent away by the Western Ghost Emperor. His appearance here could only mean that the Western Ghost Emperor's plan had failed and Wen Qi was back. The only one who could set things right in such a short time was the Emperor of Fengdu.
Wen Qi raised his eyebrows, "Not completely stupid."
Xuye: "The Western Ghost Emperor... was sent to hell?"
Wen Qi did not hide it, "She was sealed in a crack in time and space. That place is a little quiet, but it should be fine. How about I send you to accompany her?"
Xuye sneered, lowered his eyes and said nothing. His great cause was just a dream after all. After struggling for so many years, nothing changed in the end.
Not long after, the newly appointed King Chujiang and King Pingdeng arrived together. As soon as the two palace masters appeared, they saluted Wen Qi and Feng Ce, "Your Majesty, Empress."
Xuye was stunned, and suddenly raised his head. When he looked at Feng Ce, his whole soul was trembling, "Emperor? Emperor Fengdu?"
No one paid any attention to him. Wen Qi looked at King Chu Jiang and said with a smile, "I've heard of you. I used your Bagua mace for a while."
Prince Chu Jiang smiled modestly, "Thanks to the Empress for liking it."
Wen Qi: "However, I don't need it now, so I gave it to a young Heavenly Master. He is a very talented kid and will not disgrace the Bagua Mace."
King Chu Jiang: "Of course I trust the Queen's vision."
The two stopped talking, and Feng Ce said calmly: "Announce the verdict."
"Yes." King Pingdeng took out a tablet, opened the Book of Life and Death system, checked Xuye's life events, read them out in a flat voice, and announced rewards and punishments at the same time.
For more than ten minutes, you can hear rewards at the beginning, and punishments at the end. In the end, Xuye will have to endure more than 1,800 years of torture in hell. If he is still alive by the time the time comes, he will be released, drink Meng Po soup, and be sent to the animal realm. He can only be reborn as a human after ten reincarnations.
Xuye laughed loudly, "It's not unfair! My loss is not unfair! I would be honored to die against the Emperor of Fengdu!"
Feng Ce's expression remained unchanged. Who would pay attention to the shouting of an ant?
Wen Qi looked at him with disdain, "Don't think too highly of yourself. If it weren't for the Western Ghost Emperor, you'd be nothing. Your senior brother could handle you!" At this point, she suddenly remembered, "Master Xuwu asked me to tell you something. You've been expelled from the sect, and your previous contributions to the sect have also been erased."
"Do you understand?" Wen Qi kindly explained, "It means that your existence, from the time you first appeared to the time you died, everything that happened during that time has nothing to do with Taoist Master Xuwu and the sect behind him."
Xuye's face was blank for a moment, then he sneered, "Who cares."
"Please take him away. I have said everything I want to say." Wen Qi said politely.
King Pingdan bowed, raised his hand and grabbed Xuye's soul, and took it to hell.
Wen Qi walked forward obediently and held Feng Ce's hand, "Let's go." She waved to King Chu Jiang, opened the gate, and stepped out with Feng Ce.
King Chujiang respectfully bid him farewell.
Early the next morning, Wen Qi and Feng Ce set off with ease.
Feng Ce was driving, and Wen Qi was sitting next to him giving him navigation. "The whole journey takes three hours, and we'll be in City A by noon." Wen Qi looked at the navigation, "The road is smooth, and it's either a holiday or a good day..."
Before he could finish his words, the phone rang. Wen Qi blinked and hung up. Two seconds later, the phone rang again and he hung up again.
Feng Ce laughed and said, "Just accept it. You will have to face it sooner or later."
Wen Qi stared at the phone that was ringing again, and finally mustered up the courage to answer it, and very foresightedly held the phone a little further away.
“Wen Qi!” Fan Xiaoling’s roar came from the phone, “How dare you run?! What about the chorus? What about the final exam?! You insist on traveling now, don’t you want to graduate?!”
Wen Qi moved closer and retorted, "It's not that serious. I've already asked for leave."
"What kind of bullshit excuse did you give for asking for leave?" Fan Xiaoling was still yelling, "Exploring the market? How dare you say that? I'm embarrassed for you!"
Wen Qi argued confidently, "Why should I be embarrassed? I will definitely visit the local Tianshi Association when I go there. I will also visit famous Tianshi organizations. While developing the magic tool rental business, I can also talk about cooperation or business models. Isn't this expanding the market?"
Feng Ce turned around and looked at her with amusement. The story she made up was quite similar.
Fan Xiaoling was silent for a second, then asked doubtfully, "Really?"
"Why would I lie to you?" Wen Qi sighed, "After all, we are a new firm. We haven't received any big orders in such a long time since opening. It's not a solution to continue like this. As a major shareholder, I must find a solution."
Fan Xiaoling remained silent for even longer.
Wen Qi coughed lightly, "Well, I'll hang up first if nothing else. I still have to navigate."
Fan Xiaoling was furious: "I don't trust you!!!"
Wen Qi pretended not to hear, calmly hung up the phone and blocked the call.
Feng Ce commented, "Like a scumbag."
Wen Qi's crazy words: "I was discovered by my ex-lover while eloping with my new lover. I called to ask about it but was ruthlessly hung up and blocked."
Feng Ce raised his eyebrows, "I am your new love?"
Wen Qi tilted his head to look at him and sighed, "If all new loves have this standard, I can understand those who are easily bored with the old and love the new."
Feng Ce: “Heh.”
Wen Qi: "I'm praising you, what are you dissatisfied with?"
Feng Ce accused: "You really only like my appearance."
Wen Qi quickly straightened his face and said seriously: "No, I still like your soul!"
Feng Ce: ...Isn’t his soul like this?
