Chapter 69: He Huan Sect Master Bai Yueguang 30 The Third World Ends...
"So, Master, when you said that you need to deal with some things with Ji Hanlin and will come back after that... you mean you're going back to the Huan Sect with Ji Hanlin?!"
Faced with Wen Qianning and Ji Hanlin who suddenly appeared in Hehuan Sect, Sang Yu's eyes twitched speechlessly.
"Yes." Wen Qianning blinked, looking innocent.
What the hell! Sang Yu looked at the dignified and noble Ji Hanlin, puzzled for a moment: "But, hasn't Ji Hanlin already become the Yaoxuan Immortal Lord? He will eventually return to the heaven, right?"
"Well..."
A few days ago, Wen Qianning was terrified by the leakage of Ji Hanlin's demonic energy. She knew that she could no longer let Ji Hanlin stay in the heaven.
Although Ji Hanlin said that as long as Wen Qianning didn't leave her, it wouldn't stimulate his inner demons and he would be able to control his evil spirits well... she believed him, but she didn't dare to bet that those people in the heavens would believe him as much as she did.
If any accident happens again and he is discovered, Ji Hanlin will not end up in a good situation.
So Wen Qianning made up her mind to ask Ji Hanlin to resign from his position in the heaven.
It's just... it's really hard to say this. Ji Hanlin is well respected in the heaven and has a bright future. Is he really willing to give up everything in the heaven for himself?
For several days, because of this incident, Wen Qianning lost his appetite and felt uneasy.
Ji Hanlin saw it all. That day, after Wen Qianning quickly ate a few mouthfuls of food, he finally couldn't help but ask, "Ningning, what have you been thinking about lately?"
"I..." Wen Qianning hesitated for a moment, thought about her words, and asked him carefully, "Xiao Lin, do you like life in heaven?"
"Like...?" Ji Hanlin paused, as if seriously considering her question. After a moment, he shook his head. "I can't really say I like you. It's just that at that time, my life had no hope. I worked hard to cultivate and ascend to immortality, just to better bring you back to my side."
"Hey." She punched Ji Hanlin speechlessly. But when she heard him say that he didn't like life in heaven, her mind moved slightly.
"If... I want you to quit everything in the heavens and return to the Hehuan Sect with me, would you be willing?"
Finally, I spoke out the problem that I had been worrying about for the past few days.
Seeing Ji Hanlin's expressionless face, Wen Qianning hurriedly added, fearing he would immediately refuse, "I know this is too unfair to you. Your position in the Heaven Realm is extremely respected, and everyone admires you. If you suddenly resign, I'm afraid your life will be very different. Xiaolin, I'm not trying to force you. I'm just worried that if you stay in the Heaven Realm, sooner or later people will notice something's wrong with you. They worship you and praise you because you are pure and innocent, the Yaoxuan Immortal Lord, but once they know the demonic energy in your body, they probably won't tolerate it..."
However, before she could finish her words, the man had already reached out and held her in his arms very naturally.
"good."
He did not hesitate at all, just as she said it was not an important decision that required him to give up his position in heaven, but just the most ordinary invitation.
"When the time comes, you...eh?" Wen Qianning wanted to continue talking, but she didn't expect him to agree so readily. She couldn't finish her prepared words. She was stunned for a moment and looked up at him blankly.
Ji Hanlin's eyes gleamed, and the corners of his lips curled up with a smile: "Ningning, I promise you. I am willing to quit everything and accompany you back to the Hehuan Sect."
"...Are you serious?" She said in disbelief, "Xiao Lin, think carefully, this is not just a casual remark..."
"Of course I've thought it through." Ji Hanlin whispered, his hand landing on her back, gently stroking her slightly stiff spine. "You know, when I cultivated to become an immortal, I never cared about position or glory in heaven. All I wanted was to keep you by my side. Now, you want me to give up those empty names and honorable positions. What's so difficult about that?"
He leaned over and rested his forehead against hers, "Ningning, I just want to be with you. Nothing else matters to me."
Hearing these words, Wen Qianning felt a surge of jealousy in her heart.
He really doesn't care about anything except himself.
Seeing that the woman didn't seem to react and was still staring at him blankly, Ji Hanlin smiled, his brows calm, "The people in the heavens may at most feel sorry and talk about it, but what does that have to do with me? If it weren't for you, I wouldn't even be able to ascend."
Wen Qianning finally couldn't help it, wrapped her arms around his waist and hugged him tightly.
"Xiao Lin, I really like you."
…
So, Ji Hanlin stepped into the Heavenly Emperor Palace alone.
As the most popular figure among the younger generation in the heavenly realm, Yao Xuan Xianjun has unfathomable cultivation, noble and cold demeanor, and has always been the most valued subordinate of the Emperor of Heaven.
This time, he once again attracted countless glances from the palace servants in the Heavenly Emperor's Palace. However, none of them could have imagined that this legendary figure would make such an earth-shattering decision.
"Your Majesty."
Ji Hanlin knelt down and kowtowed, then got straight to the point: "I have come here to sincerely resign my position as Immortal Lord and no longer reside in the heavens."
As soon as these words were spoken, the hall fell silent and everyone looked at him in horror.
What was he talking about? Resigning from the Immortal Lord position? Was Yaoxuan Immortal Lord crazy?
Although no one dared to whisper in the palace, all the palace servants present exchanged terrified glances, and even the palace servants outside the palace door could not help but look out.
The Emperor of Heaven sat on a high platform, his eyes as deep as the abyss.
Yaoxuan Immortal Lord has always been aloof and taciturn, rarely offering advice. The Emperor of Heaven, out of his appreciation for his talent, tacitly tolerates his style. During this meeting, I thought he had something important to discuss, but I didn't expect... to actually resign his position as Immortal Lord?!
The Emperor of Heaven held the Jade Sceptre in his hand and said in a deep voice, "Yao Xuan, do you know what you are talking about?"
Ji Hanlin raised his eyes, his expression as calm as water, with an unshakable determination.
"Of course I know."
The Emperor narrowed his eyes and spoke in a stern voice, as if to dissuade Ji Hanlin from his thoughts: "Since your ascension from the mortal realm, your cultivation has advanced by leaps and bounds. In just over a hundred years, you have reached the rank of Immortal Lord. I regard you as a pillar of the Celestial Realm. In the future, perhaps even the position of Emperor of Heaven is within your reach. Now you say you want to quit everything? Give me a reason."
Hearing the words of the Emperor of Heaven, the hairs of all the palace people present stood on end. It was obvious that the Emperor of Heaven was angry.
"I am not unaware of your Majesty's great kindness. If the Heaven Realm were in trouble, I would certainly do my utmost to help. However... all my life's obsessions and desires are solely for one person. Now that I have obtained her, I must stay with her for the rest of my life. Glory and status are no longer meaningful to me."
Ji Hanlin spoke calmly, but it was obvious that he had made up his mind.
There was an uproar.
Some palace servants couldn't help but whisper, "So he's trapped by love... I've heard that Yaoxuan Immortal Lord brought a woman back to his palace and was incredibly obsessed with her. Now the rumors have proven true!"
"For... a woman?" The Emperor's gaze fell on Ji Hanlin like a torch, as if he wanted to see through him completely. After a long while, he slowly spoke, "Do you know that resigning the position of Immortal Lord means severing your path to immortality? From now on, you will be in the mortal world. You will no longer be blessed by the heavens, and you will no longer enjoy supreme majesty. Mortals will age, get sick and die, and your cultivation may not be able to maintain it forever."
"Even so, are you still willing?"
Countless pairs of eyes in the hall stared at Ji Hanlin, waiting for his final answer.
Ji Hanlin didn't hesitate at all. He pursed his lips slightly, his eyes firm, "I am willing."
There was no hesitation in that tone.
"If you give up, won't you regret it?" The Emperor of Heaven asked again, his voice cold and stern.
"Never regret it." Ji Hanlin said.
The palace servants around looked at each other, some sighed and shook their heads, while others showed envy, but no matter how they sighed in their hearts, the determination of Yao Xuan Immortal Lord could not be shaken.
An indescribable feeling welled up in the Emperor's heart. He had once tried to find a concubine for the Immortal Lord Yaoxuan but failed, believing the man was simply cold-hearted and aloof from women. He had never imagined... Yaoxuan was actually a deeply affectionate and devoted man.
This made him sigh with regret. Long ago, he had also deeply loved a woman, but as the Emperor of Heaven, with the responsibility of the world on his shoulders, they eventually parted ways. Now, seeing Ji Hanlin's obsession, he couldn't help but think of himself back then, and his emotions became even more complicated.
After a long while, the Emperor put down the jade sceptre and sighed softly: "Forget it, since you have made up your mind, I will not force you to stay."
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone in the palace widened their eyes. They didn't expect that the Emperor of Heaven would actually agree.
"From today onwards, the title of Yaoxuan Immortal Lord will be revoked, his immortal status will be removed, and he will no longer be canonized by the heavenly realm."
They watched as Ji Hanlin bowed his head and kowtowed, his voice steady, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your assistance."
Then, he slowly stood up, turned around and walked down the stairs, his robe fluttering, his back straight, without any sign of loss, but rather a sense of ease.
When he returned to his palace and just stepped into the palace gate, Wen Qianning came to greet him. She had obviously been waiting for a long time. She looked at Ji Hanlin anxiously, as if she wanted to see the answer from his face.
"How is it?" She blurted out the first sentence, and her tone was full of worry.
Ji Hanlin looked at her, his lips slowly raised in a smile, that smile was easy and genuine, with a bit of relief.
"Ningning," he reached out and held her hand. The warmth in his palm made her heart calm down. "The Emperor of Heaven has agreed to remove my position as Immortal Lord. From now on, I am no longer Yaoxuan Immortal Lord."
Hearing this, Wen Qianning's heart was filled with indescribable emotions. Finally, she whispered, "Xiao Lin...thank you."
Ji Hanlin smiled softly, leaned over and placed a kiss on her forehead, his voice slow and firm: "Why thank me? Being with you is my greatest wish. Ningning, let's go back to the Hehuan Sect together."
"good……"
Wen Qianning finished telling about what happened between him and Ji Hanlin in the heaven. Sang Yu did not interrupt from beginning to end, but just listened quietly. He was usually lively and spoke with a smile, but at this moment he was silent for a long time, which was unusual.
"I originally thought...the relationship between you two was just due to dual cultivation, but I didn't expect you to get to this point." Sang Yu's words were full of sincerity.
At some point, Kui Congling and Kui Xing also walked in, and it seemed that they had overheard their conversation by accident.
The brother and sister were originally independent cultivators with no fixed place to live. After returning from the heaven, they returned to the Hehuan Sect with Sang Yu and others.
Kui Congling smiled and looked at Ji Hanlin and Wen Qianning, his face showing undisguised joy: "That's great! Brother Ji can finally live happily together with Sister Wen!"
After saying that, she couldn't help but clapping her hands, as if she was celebrating for them.
Ji Hanlin's eyes swept across the crowd and finally landed on Ji Ziming who was standing beside him.
He only looked at Ji Ziming for a moment, without saying a word. Even though he didn't say a word, the aura around him still revealed a hint of coldness.
Wen Qianning's heart tightened. Of course she noticed it... Could it be that Ji Hanlin still cared about what happened that year?
…
night.
After Ji Hanlin finished his shower, he lifted the curtain beside the bed. Just as he lifted a corner, he suddenly felt something soft in his arms.
Wen Qianning, who was originally lying on the bed, rushed over, wrapped her arms around his neck, raised her face, and her eyes were bright. Without any extra words, she kissed him directly on the lips.
Ever since Wen Qianning's memory recovered, she rarely threw herself into his arms like this. Ji Hanlin was startled at first, then he grabbed her waist and asked in a low voice, "Ningning, what are you doing?"
Wen Qianning's eyes curved, and her voice softened almost to the point of melting: "I'm just trying to comfort you."
Her words were a bit coquettish. The woman's lips were soft, and the breath between her lips and teeth brushed against his neck, making him feel a little distracted.
Ji Hanlin narrowed his eyes and sighed softly, "Why do you suddenly say you want to coax me?"
"Xiao Lin, you..." Wen Qianning stared at him seriously, "Are you still bothered by Ji Ziming?"
Ji Hanlin remained silent, his expression unchanged, but his grip on her waist only tightened.
"It's not entirely because of him."
The man shook his head. "I'm just afraid that one day if I don't do something right, you won't give me a chance to explain, and you'll get tired of me and fall in love with someone else."
Wen Qianning understood and sighed, then she sank into his arms. She lowered her voice and spoke softly, "It was all my fault before. I will never treat you like that again... But you may have misunderstood me all along. Ji Ziming and I actually have nothing to do with each other. He is not my male cultivator at all."
Ji Hanlin looked down at her, his eyes dark.
"Back then... I twisted my waist when I was holding the sword that day." Wen Qianning explained carefully as he recalled, "Although I recovered quickly after using my spiritual energy, I still feel a little uncomfortable in my waist."
"The sect that Ji Ziming came from happened to be the best at massage, so I asked him to help me with a massage. I didn't expect that you would come to see me that night, and you saw me."
Wen Qianning paused, a look of helplessness in her eyes, and she stuck out her tongue guiltily: "It's really just like this, nothing else."
Listening to Wen Qianning's explanation, Ji Hanlin sighed inwardly. He smiled, raised his hand to pinch the woman's chin, lowered his head, and kissed her tender cheek: "Well, I believe you."
He liked Wen Qianning and would trust her no matter what. And since he had chosen to trust her and stay by her side, all the previous grudges and disagreements would be put aside.
After all, Ningning is the most important to him.
Wen Qianning's cheeks were flushed, and her rosy lips couldn't help but curl up as she hugged him tightly.
The candlelight flickered, the curtains were lowered, and a red wave surged across the quilt. The two people's breaths intertwined, their whispers were soft and gentle, and their love was so hot that it was difficult to suppress.
