Jinlan sneered when she heard the other person speak, her icy gaze falling on her: "So you know you've committed a capital offense?"
Upon hearing this, Tingyun immediately prostrated herself on the ground, her whole body trembling.
Jinlan reached out and pinched her chin, forcing her to look up at him: "You managed to fool them all with this face that bears a resemblance to mine, even targeting Wan Ge?"
Tingyun quickly shook her head and denied it, saying, "No, Goddess, they were targeting Goddess Wan Ge when I first met them. It has nothing to do with me."
"Is that so? But if I'm not mistaken, at first they just disliked Wan Ge, but never targeted her. It was only after you appeared that they became so hostile towards Wan Ge."
Tingyun shook her head desperately but couldn't explain herself. She did sometimes sow discord because she couldn't stand Wan Ge's arrogant attitude. Every time she saw it, it made her very angry, so she used some tricks to make them hate Wan Ge even more.
But if they hadn't already disliked Wan Ge, how could he have successfully instigated them?
"Since you have confessed your sins, and also plotted against a god, then strip your immortal bones and cast you into the cycle of reincarnation."
Tingyun felt like her heart had died, but this was still better than her soul being scattered. She could only fall to the ground and confess her sins.
…
After dealing with Tingyun, Jinlan looked at her two disciples.
Feng Fuqing spoke first: "Master, I didn't know it was you. If I had known it was you, I would never have done this."
Yun Xiangmu met Jin Lan's gaze and immediately lowered his head. He didn't say anything because he knew it would be useless to say anything now.
"Does not knowing me give you the right to harm your fellow citizens at will? Although Alan is just a celestial servant, she has never made a mistake. How dare you take her life?" Moreover, if it weren't for Wan Ge, he would not have been able to successfully transcend the tribulation and would most likely have been annihilated. He not only harmed a celestial servant but also the goddess.
Moreover, even if the other party made a mistake, they wouldn't resort to such methods. They only knew that Alan had a spirit demon constitution, and absorbing Alan's blood or spiritual power could help them grow faster.
How could they, as gods, use such cruel methods to cultivate? It's utterly absurd.
They were born with the best resources and were favored by heaven, but they were complacent and lazy in their cultivation. Who can they blame for this outcome?
Is it Wan Ge's fault? Wan Ge gave them the best resources and doted on them extremely. She was even more doting on the Emperor than she had been because the Emperor was in seclusion for many years.
Although there is a saying that "spoiling a child is like killing a child," that applies to very young children, and children with truly good character will not have this problem.
First of all, their character was problematic. It's just that I was stricter with them in the past, and they were afraid of me, so I didn't notice anything wrong with them before.
Moreover, they were not very young at that time, and should have known right from wrong, so Wan Ge's kindness to them cannot be a reason for them to become like this.
They are unworthy of being called gods.
Jinlan took a deep breath and closed her eyes: "Considering our master-disciple relationship, I will give you two choices. The first is to be stripped of your divine bones and fall into reincarnation like him. The second is to go to Cangshan Mountain to quietly reflect on your mistakes and never return to the divine race."
Upon hearing this punishment, they both instinctively wanted to object, but then they remembered what they had done, so they bowed and replied together, "Disciples are willing to go to Cangshan and never return to the Divine Clan."
Jinlan waved her hand, signaling the divine general to take them away, and then she turned away, no longer looking at the two of them.
After calming down, Jinlan went to find Wan Ge.
…
As soon as they entered Wan Ge's temple, before they could even speak, they saw Wan Ge nestled in the Emperor's arms, and the Emperor was kissing her.
Jinlan froze, vaguely recalling that when she was still Alan, Qimin had told her that the Emperor liked Wan Ge.
Even knowing that the Emperor truly loved Wan Ge, the scene she was witnessing was still incredibly impactful.
Jinlan sensibly withdrew, as if she had never been there at all.
But if Wan Ge knew she was coming, Fu Jing must have known too.
Fu Jing admitted that he did it on purpose, deliberately kissing his beloved when she arrived. After all, she and his lover had such a good relationship. He was just jealous.
Wan Ge naturally found out that Fu Jing was jealous, and he had his reasons for being jealous, since the original owner and Jin Lan did have a very good relationship, just not the kind he was thinking of.
"Jinlan and I are just sisters, nothing more," Wan Ge said softly, her voice still a little hoarse.
Fu Jing knew she was explaining to him, and he must have realized that he was jealous.
"But I still get jealous." Fu Jing lowered her head, her eyes filled with sadness.
"I know, that's why I'm comforting you." Wange patted his head.
…
After Jinlan left in a hurry, she went straight to find Qimin.
Qi Min didn't seem surprised by her arrival; he simply poured her a cup of tea.
It is still a very fragrant tea with a sweet taste.
Jinlan took a sip, but her cheeks were still flushed.
Qi Min then noticed her unusual behavior and asked, "What happened?"
Jinlan cleared her throat twice, then replied, "No...it's nothing."
When her gaze fell on Qi Min's face, she couldn't help but recall the scene of Wan Ge kissing the Emperor. So her gaze was fixed on the other's rosy lips.
