While Yun's narration was somewhat influenced by personal feelings, it was largely similar to what Su Yue had said before. However, the content was much more detailed!
Rather than saying Su Yue and Jian Jia were childhood sweethearts, it's more accurate to say Su Yue was Jian Jia's playmate. Jian Jia was chosen as the mountain god by Su Xian Mountain itself, and Shen didn't know her origins or her parents. Shen had only heard Jian Jia mention a few times that her home wasn't on Su Xian Mountain, but because Su Xian Mountain had chosen her, she was obliged to protect it.
Jianjia was still very young then. Although she was born with superhuman strength, she was lonely and longed for playmates. However, the beings of Suxian Mountain only regarded her as a high and mighty mountain goddess, and no one dared to play with her.
Therefore, Jianjia could only tell her innermost thoughts to the earthworm, but at that time the earthworm was just a tiny little worm and couldn't even speak.
Later, a disturbance occurred at the border between Suxian Mountain and the demon and human realms. Jianjia went to set up a barrier to protect Suxian Mountain. On her way back, she encountered Suyue and, feeling sorry for him, took him in.
At that time, Jianjia was clearly very happy. When she talked to him, she no longer felt only sadness and helplessness, but also the innocence and joy that belonged to her age.
With Su Yue by her side, Jian Jia was no longer lonely on Su Xian Mountain. But Su Yue was unhappy, because here, he was not only an intruder, but also a useless intruder!
Su Yue's body was naturally shaped like a funnel, indicating exceptional intelligence and high comprehension, but he was also prone to overconfidence, which led to him being bullied and ostracized by the others on Su Xian Mountain. Everyone always called him a good-for-nothing!
Of course, this bullying was nothing to Su Yue, because his previous experiences were hundreds of times worse. He knew that in such situations, only one word mattered: endure!
Su Yue never complained; on the contrary, he always tried his best to make Jian Jia happy. He knew that Jian Jia was the boss here, and as long as he pleased Jian Jia, he could do whatever he wanted on Su Xian Mountain!
Sure enough, the more time Jianjia spent with Suyue, the more she liked him. She cleared obstacles for Suyue and created better conditions for him, both openly and secretly.
As they grew older, Jianjia, out of affection, willingly stepped back, allowing Suyue to enjoy the limelight. Suyue, however, began to take advantage of Jianjia's affection, becoming increasingly arrogant and unrestrained. He went from being subservient to haughty and self-important.
During this period, the Flamefire Clan and the Bamboo Fungus Clan successively came from the area where the human realm, the demon realm, and Suxian Mountain meet, seeking refuge with Jianjia. Because the area was in constant chaos, they could no longer survive in that triangular region.
Jianjia was initially reluctant; managing a sudden influx of outsiders into Suxian Mountain wouldn't be easy. However, Suyue used his own experience as an example to advocate for the interests of the people in the triangle area. Jianjia eventually agreed, because she didn't want Suyue to be unhappy about it.
Although Su Yue has lived on Su Xian Mountain for nearly a thousand years, he still considers the Triangle Area his home. He says he feels no sense of belonging on Su Xian Mountain because the residents don't accept him. For this reason, Su Yue is very close to the Yan Huo tribe and the Zhu Sun tribe.
"Isn't it ironic? He enjoyed himself on Suxian Mountain for nearly a thousand years, but then he turns around and says he doesn't feel like he belongs here and misses the Triangle Area. How can he be so shameless! If he hadn't begged his master to bring him here, who would want a burden like him?" Even now, she still feels angry when she talks about it.
Of course, Shen had said these things to Jianjia as well, but it's said that women in love have zero IQ. Although Jianjia was a deity, at that time she was no different from any other woman in love. Not only did she ignore Shen's advice, she also allowed Su Yue to associate with outsiders.
Su Yue had a close relationship with the Yanhuo Clan at that time, and it was during that time that he met the Yanhuo Clan's princess, Hong Xue.
Unlike the gentle, calm, and restrained nature of Jianjia, Hongxue, just like their clan name, is passionate and fiery.
Su Yue had never seen a girl like this before, and he quickly fell into the love trap that the Flamefire Clan had carefully prepared for him.
Jianjia had seen through the Flamefire Clan's ambitions. However, fearing a strong backlash from Su Yue, she pretended to know nothing.
Gradually, the Flamefire Clan came to believe they were royalty, and became increasingly unrestrained on Mount Suxian. They drank, caused trouble, engaged in brawls, and eventually set the mountain on fire.
Jianjia acted swiftly, and thanks to her timely rescue, no one was injured on Suxian Mountain. However, the Flamefire Clan could no longer be tolerated there.
The incident caused quite a stir at the time. Su Yue wanted to plead for leniency, but he also knew that the Yanhuo Clan had committed a grave offense, and it would be difficult to appease public opinion if they were not punished. Therefore, in the end, he did not dare to utter any words of pleading.
Because of this incident, Hongxue completely broke off relations with Suyue.
The Flamefire Clan was exiled to the edge of the Immortal Mountain, where the environment was harsh, but they were able to survive there.
Then, the Bamboo Fungus tribe also started to stir up trouble. Using the same tactics, the Bamboo Fungus tribe went even further, directly having Jianjia catch them in bed together and forcing Suyue to marry the Bamboo Fungus tribe's princess.
Jianjia was naturally devastated and utterly disappointed in Suyue. At that moment, Jianjia adopted the demeanor of a mountain god, directly ordering the expulsion of the Bamboo Fungus Clan and Suyue. Unfortunately, that very night, the barrier of Suxian Mountain was breached by a Soul-Controlling Beast. Jianjia had no choice but to deal with the Soul-Controlling Beast first!
"Are soul-controlling beasts really that powerful?" Leng Yue asked.
Ying shook her head. "I don't know, but everyone says that Soul Control Beasts are powerful. I also find it strange that Master shouldn't be unable to handle a Soul Control Beast. But in the end, he didn't come back."
"Isn't it too much of a coincidence?" Qian Chen, who had been sitting silently to the side, suddenly spoke up.
"Are you saying that all of this was the work of the Bamboo Fungus Clan?" Leng Yue looked at Qian Chen.
Qian Chen nodded, "Very likely. And think about it, who benefited the most after the former mountain god disappeared?"
"Isn't that pretty boy Su Yue?" Ying looked at Qian Chen with disdain. Although he said he wasn't Su Yue, Ying still felt uncomfortable looking at that face.
“No,” Leng Yue shook her head. “When I was still Black Bean, I could sense that Su Yue wasn’t happy. And during the Immortal Festival, it was obvious that the Bamboo Fungus Clan had a higher status than Su Yue!”
Ying frowned. "I left after my master went missing, so I know very little about the situation here."
"Not only did the Bamboo Fungus Clan not leave Suxian Mountain, but they also brazenly became a new elite, and even became the true rulers of Suxian Mountain. Don't you find this strange?" Leng Yue didn't believe that a simple Bamboo Fungus Clan could have such great power.
"You mean there's a mastermind behind this?" Yun asked, looking at Leng Yue.
"It seems highly likely that's the case. But we don't know what his motive is. Right now, the enemy is in the shadows while we are in the open, so we should be careful." Qianchen looked at Lengyue with concern. "Yueyue, you are in the most danger right now. You can't leave my side for even a moment from now on."
Leng Yue chuckled, "Don't worry, I'm not a child."
Watching Leng Yue and Qian Chen interact, Ying seemed lost in thought.
