The crisp sound of footsteps outside the door quickly brought Jing Yi back to her senses, and a sincere smile appeared on her cheek.
Gu Juechen is back, how can she not be happy?
"A Jing, you must be hungry. I made some lotus soup for you. Come and try it and see if it suits your taste."
Gu Juechen smiled gently at Jing Yi.
Jing Yi raised the corner of her mouth and smiled indifferently, keeping her gaze on the bowl of lotus soup.
There were ripples in her eyes, like the shimmering water.
"This... you did it?"
I don't know why I have such thoughts, and I am worried that I will raise questions for no reason.
It's as if the same thing has happened before.
Gu Juechen smiled faintly. He had done a lot of things like this before. After all, as long as it was Jing Yi, he was willing to do it himself, so that he could feel more comforted.
"A Jing, take a rest first and remember to eat the lotus soup. I'll be out for a while."
Jing Yi nodded at Gu Juechen, but she was not curious about what he was going to do.
She just wondered what kind of person she was in the past that could make such a high and mighty king take such good care of her, that he would personally make lotus soup for her and smile at her so gently.
This is simply a fantasy for a person who is in a high position. They are used to others being respectful to them, so how could they change their habits?
This is something Jing Yi couldn't figure out.
Gu Juechen's departing figure appeared in Jing Yi's eyes.
But for some reason, I felt not only doubt, but also guilt and reluctance.
…
"Mu Jiu, what are you going to do now?"
An old man was standing in front of Mu Jiu, holding a white chess piece in his hand and ready to place it.
He stroked his beard with one hand and looked at Mu Jiu with interest.
Mu Jiu placed his fingers on the table and tapped them lightly, making a "clang clang clang" sound.
There was a complex expression on his face, but when he heard what the person in front of him said, a fierce cold light appeared in his eyes.
"No matter what the outcome of this game is, I will not allow her to cause chaos in the underworld."
There was an unquestionable glint in his eyes.
…
Above the Heavenly Palace.
Mo Zhao was sitting on his throne, supporting his head with one hand and closing his eyes tightly, as if he was deep in thought.
Suddenly, a man came out of the hall. He was tall and handsome. This man was Mo Xu.
He walked up to Mo Zhao, bent slightly, and saluted.
"Greetings, Father."
When Mo Zhao heard Mo Xu's voice, he immediately opened his eyes. There was a lot of surprise in his deep eyes. This was indeed a rare look for a strict Lord of Heaven.
"Xu'er, please get up. I haven't seen you for a long time. I don't know if you are used to your life in the human world?" Mo Zhao's voice was gentle and kind as a father.
Mo Xu smiled faintly, stood up and walked to Mo Zhao's side.
"Father, do you know who I met?"
Mo Zhao paused for a moment, his mind racing, and then he said a name.
"Gu Juechen."
Mo Xu was very surprised when he heard his father directly tell him who that person was.
He never expected that his father could guess who he was talking about so quickly.
"Father, are you... have you hired someone to follow me? Do you know all this?"
"What's so difficult about this? Don't you think about how excited you would be if it were someone else?"
