Chapter 747: Home Visit
The return of Lu Yichen and Zhong Nianyao caused a huge sensation throughout the heaven and Qingqiu.
Although Zhong Nian Yao has not returned to Qingqiu yet, the people of Qingqiu are already looking forward to her return.
After returning, Lu Yichen also had his own things to do and it was impossible for him to accompany Zhong Nianyao all the time. Zhong Nianyao had no objection to this.
This time, Zhong Nianyao came back with a vow to find the person who had returned her to him. When Lu Yichen left to do something, she sat in the hall and began to think about what happened in the past, to see if she could remember any clues.
However, before she left for long, a little fairy came in and said that someone was looking for her.
She was a little confused, but she still met the person. When the person came in, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, and a polite smile appeared on her face, "Long time no see, Weiruo."
Looking at Wei Ruo, who was dressed in a white dress as white as snow, Zhong Nian Yao had a faint smile on her face.
After not seeing each other for so many years, she had never expected that the first person she would see upon returning this time would be Wei Ruo. It was unexpected, but it also seemed to be expected.
Once upon a time, when she and Lu Yichen were in love, she often stayed in the Nine Heavens. At that time, Wei Ruo had always been showing her affection, but she always felt a little dislike for Wei Ruo, so she kept her distance.
The reason why she disliked Wei Ruo was that although Wei Ruo looked pure, high and mighty, and aloof, she always had a feeling that Wei Ruo was definitely not as pure and kind as she appeared.
Ten thousand years had passed, yet Weiruo seemed to have not changed at all. No, perhaps it was only on the surface that she had not changed.
"Yeah! Long time no see."
Wei Ruo took a step forward and tried to hold Zhong Nianyao's hand, but she dodged it. Even so, she was only stunned for a moment, and then immediately returned to normal.
"Yaoxi, you're finally back. I'm so happy to see you again."
Looking at the smile on Weiruo's face, Zhong Nianyao's expression did not change, and she still had a polite smile on her face, "Really? You haven't changed much, but-"
"The divine power in you seems to be a little weaker."
Over the past ten thousand years, she had always felt that Weiruo's divine power seemed to have weakened. This was a bit strange.
After hearing Zhong Nianyao's words, Wei Ruo's face froze for a moment, then she smiled and said, "Over the years, with Emperor Yichen away, everyone's been like they've lost their backbone, and they've all become a little lazy. Also, over the years, I've been helping to handle matters above the Nine Heavens, so it's inevitable that I've been a little negligent in other areas."
Of course, during the ten thousand years that Lu Yichen was away, Wei Ruo wasn't the one handling all of the Nine Heavens affairs; she was only helping with some of them. The rest was handled by Lu Yichen's other confidants.
After hearing Wei Ruo's words, Zhong Nianyao didn't show any extra emotion. Instead, she smiled and said, "You have indeed worked hard over the years."
"That's as it should be." Wei Ruo smiled, and then seemed to have thought of something, with a hint of nostalgia in her eyes, "I think this is what Yi Hao wants to see."
The Yihao she was talking about was a supreme god from the Nine Heavens and Weiruo's fiancé, but unfortunately, he died in the battle with the demon world. Unlike Zhong Nianyao, Yihao's soul was truly destroyed and he would never return.
In the following time, Zhong Nianyao and Wei Ruo kept talking casually.
However, most of the time, it was Weiruo who was talking, and Zhong Nianyao just smiled and nodded at the side. Weiruo didn't care about Zhong Nianyao's attitude, and continued to talk and laugh, with no intention of leaving.
It was not until Lu Yichen came back that Wei Ruo got up to say goodbye. They also made an appointment to go shopping together in a couple of days.
After Wei Ruo left, Lu Yichen sat down next to Zhong Nian Yao, picked up her teacup naturally, took a sip of water, and asked, "You have a good relationship with her?"
"No." Zhong Nianyao shook her head honestly. "She came here on her own. Actually, I'm really curious. I'm not really passionate about her! Why does she always like to get close to me?"
"If you don't like her, then ignore her." Lu Yichen said directly, "As long as you are happy, other people's emotions don't matter."
After hearing Lu Yichen's words, Zhong Nianyao smiled sweetly, "It seems that I have returned to my own territory, and even my ability to speak sweet words has returned."
Lu Yichen looked at Zhong Nianyao with a serious look in his eyes, "I'm not kidding you, I'm telling the truth."
"Okay." Zhong Nianyao's smile grew even brighter, but then she changed the subject, "But, this Weiruo is really strange. She showed up so soon after we returned, just the day after. If I didn't know, I'd think she was feeling guilty about something."
A hint of confusion flashed in Lu Yichen's eyes, "Are you - suspecting her?"
“Not yet.”
Unexpectedly, Zhong Nianyao shook her head and said, "I can feel that there is no evil spirit on her."
She had already suspected it when Weiruo came to her house today. However, in the subsequent tests, she did not find any evil aura on Weiruo.
That evil spirit was from Lu Yichen, and only Lu Yichen could control it. She had been with Lu Yichen for so long that she was very familiar with the evil spirit he carried. Therefore, she could sense that Weiruo did not have any evil spirit.
However, she still felt that there was something strange about Wei Ruo.
Lu Yichen frowned, "I'll have someone investigate her."
"No need." Zhong Nianyao stopped him. "Over the years, she has been helping to manage some of the affairs above the Nine Heavens. It would be inappropriate to investigate her at this time. Besides, I think-"
When she said this, Zhong Nianyao narrowed her eyes slightly, and a trace of spiritual power flashed in her eyes, "If she really did something, or was planning to do something, she would be exposed sooner or later. We just need to wait and see."
Lu Yichen didn't say anything else, just nodded.
"By the way, now that we're all back, should we call Yuanhao back?" Zhong Nianyao suddenly spoke up. "He's gone there in person to take charge because he's afraid the people from the demon world will take advantage of your absence."
