Hearing Tianqi's words, Gu Liyan was somewhat confused. "Then... what are your intentions in going to such lengths to bring the Heavenly Palace down to the mortal world?"
"Intentions? Heh, Gu Liyan, don't think of us as too evil. The ideology of Tianxuan's rule has been abandoned. Now we really want to create a new era."
Gu Liyan looked at Tianqi with suspicion. "So... you're selecting strong individuals from the human race to become your forces? Do Qianmo and Luo Zichen also agree to this approach?"
When Gu Liyan mentioned Qianmo and Luo Zichen, Tianqi's expression changed, but he quickly concealed it in an instant.
Tianqi looked at Gu Liyan with the same suspicious expression and said, "Luo Zichen and your uncle have been away from the Heavenly Palace for a long time. Since Yin Yang and Xuan Qing'er embarked on the cycle of reincarnation, the management of Qianmo has become increasingly chaotic."
Gu Liyan frowned. Although he remembered Qian Mo sometimes acting unpredictably, she was definitely not an irresponsible person lacking in management skills. How could things have become chaotic? It must be…
Before Gu Liyan could ask, Tianqi continued, "Fortunately, Emperor Cangmu ascended to the throne and stabilized the situation, bringing an end to the chaos."
"You mean Cangmu? The patriarch of the Demon Clan?" Gu Liyan's voice suddenly rose. "Why did you make him the Supreme Emperor!"
"From both a moral and logical standpoint, shouldn't he be given a proper title after the merger of the Heavenly Demon and the Heavenly Demon races?" Tianqi said matter-of-factly.
“You guys…” Gu Liyan looked at Tianqi and was speechless. “You’re absolutely stupid!”
Treating a former enemy leader as a leader is no different from releasing a tiger back into the mountains.
Seeing Gu Liyan's expression, Tianqi smiled wickedly, "Gu Liyan, the Heavenly Palace is not bad now. I wonder if you would like to go and take a look?"
Gu Liyan's face was cold. If Qianmo was in a passive position because of Cangmu, she would definitely feel bad. In that case, he should embark on the journey to the Heavenly Palace to go back and help her.
But--
Just as Gu Liyan was about to agree, he suddenly remembered his return to the Heavenly Palace not long ago...
Gu Liyan pondered to himself, "Yin Yang told me not to tell anyone about my return. It seems he has already helped me hide this, but... Yin Yang's meaning at the time seemed to be that I should never come back. Why is that?"
After considering it for a moment, Gu Liyan looked at Tianqi's smiling face and made a decision: "I'm sorry, I'm afraid I can't go back with you this time."
Tianqi was stunned, he really didn't expect Gu Liyan to reject him.
Without the slightest hesitation, Gu Liyan turned around and walked back the way she came. "The Heavenly Palace is already a memory for me, so let it be buried deep in my memory forever!"
Watching Gu Liyan resolutely turn and leave, Tianqi's face twisted in rage. He immediately shouted at Gu Liyan, "Stop, Gu Liyan!"
Gu Liyan turned her head, looking at Tianqi with a puzzled expression, who was beginning to lose control of his emotions, and said warily:
"Your Majesty, do you know that the expression on your face right now is the same as the expression on Tianxuan's face when he wanted to kill me?!"
"Hehe, Gu Liyan, since you've come all this way, isn't it a bit unethical to leave without even saying hello to your old friends?" Tianqi barely suppressed the urge to curse.
Gu Liyan looked at Tianqi, his Huahun Eyes sweeping over him. With his meticulous and astute mind, how could he not see the emotional fluctuations in Tianqi? He coldly spoke:
"Your Majesty, do you need something from me? I, Gu Liyan, can't say I'll grant every request, but out of consideration for our past relationship, I might be able to help you in some way."
To put it bluntly, Gu Liyan wanted to tell him that if he spoke to her nicely, she would soften and agree; but if he showed this coercive expression, then they hadn't even started talking!
Unexpectedly, Tianqi looked at Gu Liyan with a wicked smile: "Gu Liyan, perhaps you don't know, but before you arrived, a night owl captured a girl from the world beneath the sky..."
Gu Liyan looked up at Tianqi, a bad feeling creeping into her heart. Tianqi continued calmly:
"Speaking of which, that girl really does resemble the Flower Goddess quite a bit! Oh, right, her appearance is just like that of Flower Fairy!"
Upon hearing the name Hua Baixian, Gu Liyan immediately thought of An Qianbai.
In the blink of an eye, Gu Liyan moved swiftly, appearing before Tianqi and grabbing his collar, scolding him:
"She's no longer the Flower Goddess, she's completely severed ties with her former self, why are you still arresting her?!"
Tianqi looked at Gu Liyan with a smile and said, "I didn't capture her; it was that Night Cat who brought her here. That Night Cat is one of the newly appointed Eight Great God-Kings. Sometimes I don't even have the authority to make decisions!"
"At the time, I was quite surprised. How could that girl have the same appearance as the previous Flower Goddess... Could she be..." Tianqi looked at Gu Liyan with a smile. For some reason, seeing Gu Liyan's anxious appearance made him particularly happy.
Gu Liyan's hands trembled slightly as he roared angrily, "Shut up! Shut up! Where is she? Where is she!"
Tianqi looked at Gu Liyan with a playful smile, pointed to the sky, and said with a grin:
"Up there, right up there! I was thinking of letting you go see your old friend, but didn't you refuse?"
Gu Liyan's face was grim. He no longer had any reservations. Thinking of Yin Yang's words, he was determined to go! He had to go! He had to bring her back!
She no longer belongs there!
We must not let her recall those past memories!
Looking into Gu Liyan's cold eyes, Tianqi shrugged and said indifferently:
"I think you'll agree to participate in the second round of assessment, right?"
