Chapter 673
As the God of Destiny spoke, he felt deeply remorseful and distressed. If he had noticed his disciple's strange behavior at the time, he could have avoided this disaster.
Lan Yi would not have lost all her years of cultivation in one day, thus losing her qualification to become the ruler of the Temple of Fate. In fact, it would be extremely difficult and a long way off for her to become a god again.
Now she can only live again in the Ninth Heaven as a spiritual plant, neither god nor demon.
Therefore, how could the Lord of Fate bear to let his beloved disciple be severely punished by Qin Yue again?
Moreover, he believed that he should bear the main responsibility for the tragedy of Wen Xin's fate.
Therefore, it is only natural that he should bear the punishment for Lan Yi.
Looking at the sorrowful face of the God of Fate, Wen Xin felt a growing sense of doubt.
The Lord of Fate trusted his beloved disciple Lan Yi, always thinking that his disciple was the best. He never doubted Lan Yi's motives for harming Wen Xin, nor did he notice the clumsy loopholes in Lan Yi's explanation.
However, as someone who has attained divinity and has never made a mistake in managing destiny for thousands of years, Lan Yi's resilience and meticulousness in doing things are evident.
How could such a supreme deity be so frightened that he loses his mind simply by facing the battlefield?
How could I be careless in following my master's instructions and make a mistake?
But if it wasn't intentional, why would Lan Yi want to harm her?
The two of them, one a high-ranking deity in the Temple of Fate, and the other a reclusive witch deity in the Peach Blossom Divine Realm, had never met and had never crossed paths...
Today is the first time Wen Xin has learned of Lan Yi's existence.
Despite having no enmity or grudge against her, Lan Yi risked the terrible cost of her divine status being shattered and her years of cultivation being wasted to harm her.
This is the kind of brain-dead thing a normal god would do.
Unable to figure it out, Wen Xin was completely bewildered, her mind filled with questions.
The God of Fate was still pleading for Lan Yi, hoping that Qin Yue and Wen Xin would spare her life, and that he would take full responsibility for all the crimes.
Wen Xin glanced at her husband and saw that his expression was cold, showing no pity for the God of Fate and Lan Yi, and that he looked like he was about to attack them at any moment.
Noticing her gaze, Qin Yue's expression softened, and he stroked her face, saying, "Ah Xin can do whatever she wants."
It was as if He would unhesitatingly support her if she wanted to overthrow the Temple of Fate, and would not let her suffer the slightest grievance.
Wen Xin felt a sweet warmth in her heart, but also a little amused. She was truly glad that she didn't want to be a demon concubine; otherwise, with His incompetent rule, the Nine Heavens would be doomed sooner or later.
"Your Majesty, please get up first."
Wen Xin spoke softly, "I would like to see Miss Lan Yi."
The God of Fate's expression changed slightly, and he looked worried.
Wen Xin smiled and reassured her, "Don't worry, Your Majesty. If it's really as you say, and Miss Lan Yi only made a mistake, neither His Majesty nor I will pursue the matter further."
It was indeed a mistake, and Lan Yi paid a heavy price for it.
Furthermore, as the God of Fate said, although her destiny in reincarnation was tragic, it also inadvertently spared her from facing the machinations of the gods of the Great World. Fortune and misfortune are intertwined.
Besides, the great war of the gods back then was indeed chaotic and unintentional. This matter is over and done with, and Wen Xin will not pursue it any further.
The God of Fate was taken aback. Looking at Wen Xin's quiet and smiling eyes, she seemed clear-headed and generous, not at all like the rumored eccentric, difficult, and vindictive person.
The God of Fate suddenly felt relieved and believed Wen Xin's words.
A woman who could be loved so deeply by the Nine Heavens Venerable could not possibly be a villain.
However, he cautiously observed Qin Yue.
If Wen Xin doesn't pursue the matter, then what about this ill-tempered Venerable One?
Qin Yue glanced at him indifferently, without refuting his wife's words, clearly letting her make the decision.
Upon seeing this, the Lord of Fate almost shed tears of emotion, no longer believing that this Venerable One was muddle-headed.
For them, and for all living beings, the ruler of the Nine Heavens falling in love is both a calamity and a destiny.
"Your Excellency, Madam, please come with me."
...
After Lan Yi suffered a backlash and lost her divine status, she could no longer participate in any affairs of the Temple of Fate. She quickly moved out of the temple and went into seclusion in the valley behind it to recuperate.
The valley was filled with blooming orchids, pure and beautiful. The overlapping spiritual arrays, rich in spiritual energy and full of vitality made it a perfect place for Lan Yi, whose true form was a spiritual plant, to recuperate and heal.
This shows how much the God of Fate values and cherishes this disciple.
As Wen Xin and Qin Yue followed the God of Fate into the valley, they saw a beautiful woman in blue standing at the valley entrance. With a gentle breeze, she was like a solitary orchid in a secluded valley, aloof and independent from the world.
When Wen Xin first saw Lan Yi, she felt that this woman was gentle, beautiful, and untouched by worldly dust. She should be a benevolent and virtuous deity like her master.
Would someone really deliberately trap a woman like that in such a vicious and abusive fate?
Upon seeing them, Lan Yi respectfully knelt down and bowed, saying, "Greetings, Your Excellency and Madam."
"Master, you could have just told me what you needed. Why did you come all the way here in person?"
The Lord of Fate lovingly helped Lan Yi up, his tone soothing, "His Majesty and his wife wanted to see you, and I was also concerned about your injuries."
Lan Yi dared not meet Qin Yue and Wen Xin's gazes directly, and respectfully lowered her head, thanking her master for his concern with some trepidation.
She seemed to already know why Qin Yue and Wen Xin had come to find her, and was therefore filled with unease.
The God of Fate said, "Lan Yi, please invite Your Majesty and your wife inside."
Lan Yi paused for a moment, then humbly replied, "Yes."
Wen Xin's eyes flickered slightly, and she smiled and said, "Miss Lan Yi, there's no need to be nervous. My lord and I have no ill intentions."
Lan Yi froze for a moment, then mumbled a reply and invited them into the valley.
...
Lan Yi lived a very simple life in the valley. There were no palaces or pavilions, no magnificent buildings, only a simple thatched house and a small courtyard surrounded by a fence.
No matter how you look at it, Lan Yi seems like a detached and indifferent deity who doesn't care about fame or fortune, which makes Wen Xin's doubts even deeper.
If it wasn't for power or fame, what reason would Lan Yi have to harm her?
It couldn't be that Lan Yi had a crush on Qin Yue and was therefore jealous of her, could it?
But Wen Xin saw only unease and fear in Lan Yi's attitude towards Qin Yue, which was hardly the attitude of a woman towards a man she secretly loved.
Could it be that Lan Yi's misinterpretation of Wen Xin's destiny was truly an accident?
But Wen Xin always felt that she was a bit strange, as if she was hiding a lot of things?
Lan Yi brought them tea, then stood awkwardly beside the God of Fate.
Wen Xin picked up the porcelain teacup, smelled the fragrant tea, and the delicate floral aroma of the tea brought a sense of clarity to her mind.
Fine tea!
Such spiritual tea is not something that just anyone can grow and blend, so Wen Xin labeled Lan Yi as "skillful and clever".
