Chapter 828 Shi Zaixing couldn't believe it
Xiao Chujing was confused at first. After all, after he found out that Ye Xiaoman was Ji Tuibao, even though he was used to forbearance, he almost couldn't help but go to Ye Xiaoman to ask.
Ji Wenyi actually held back.
Tonight he suddenly figured it out.
It’s simply because Ji Wenyi doesn’t have the qualifications.
If Ji Wenyi was Ye Xiaoman's husband, if Ji Wenyi was a candidate for Ye Xiaoman's Taoist partner like him, as a man with a reputation and status, he would have the right to ask Ye Xiaoman for an explanation after discovering that Ye Xiaoman had betrayed him.
Obviously Ji Wenyi didn't.
He knew Ji Wenyi very well. When he was proud, he would become arrogant. Ji Wenyi endured it because he knew that he had no right to be angry. He was helpless when facing Ye Xiaoman.
So, filled with anger, he only dared to find trouble with him and Jiaying.
After Xiao Chujing's analysis, he felt much better. The junior sister did not give Ji Wenyi any chance at all.
She loves him.
Ji Wenyi must have used some tricks to get her to meet him tonight.
Xiao Chujing continued his analysis fluently.
Why did Ji Wenyi provoke him?
To assert status and sovereignty? Perhaps.
Xiao Chujing was even more certain that Ji Wenyi wanted to provoke him.
If he rushed to the palace regardless of the consequences and the three of them confronted each other, it would only make Ye Xiaoman further disappointed because of his lack of trust in her. He would not have many points to lose in Ye Xiaoman's impression.
Furthermore, if he openly broke through the Demon Lord's restrictions and attacked the God Emperor, it would play into Ji Wenyi's hands.
Ji Wenyi could accuse him of assassination and get rid of him openly - why did Ji Wenyi endure and not kill him until now? Ji Wenyi knew that Ye Xiaoman would not allow it, and Ji Wenyi was also afraid of causing Ye Xiaoman's disgust.
Therefore, the purpose of Ji Wenyi's constant small actions tonight was nothing more than to induce him to make mistakes on his own, and to create an excuse that Ye Xiaoman could not find fault with, so as to get rid of him.
Once he understood his rival's intention, Xiao Chujing sneered. Before the demon guards arrived, he stared at the palace, retreated step by step, and left his original place.
Shi Zaixing couldn't sleep and couldn't enter into a state of meditation.
Apart from the objective reasons that the nights in the Demon Realm were too cold, the lack of oxygen in the Immortal Palace hanging in the air, and the onset of ice blood disease that kept him awake all night... he was very confused.
No matter how many times he chanted the Heart Purification Mantra, it had no effect. As soon as he closed his eyes, Ye Xiaoman's face would appear.
He rarely harbors resentment towards others. Even though Qing Zhengzong schemed to destroy his reputation, he ultimately remained fair and just, and based on the competition principle that "the contestants can use all means to pass the trial," he ruled that Qing Zhengzong was the winner.
But he knew that deep down in his heart, he had never let go of Ye Xiaoman.
He could forgive the offense of her accomplices, but he could not laugh off her actions.
She had pretended to like him very much, but then told him that it was all an act.
Maybe he just couldn't let go of his own wishful thinking.
After practicing the ruthless way for a hundred years, he was actually feeling amorous feelings for her. She made him feel ashamed.
Shi Zaixing was in the dark, playing with the bottle of medicine Ye Xiaoman gave him.
Even though he knew that the pill inside was very effective for his illness, he still didn't want to take even one more pill out of spite and self-abandonment.
He sighed deeply.
He put the bottle of pills back in his arms and pushed the wheelchair out of the dormitory.
The disciples who were serving outside were very relieved to see him finally end his isolation and walk out of his bedroom for the first time.
"Master, the moon is very beautiful tonight." A young disciple said to him.
Shi Zai Xing looked up at the moon.
People who have been stargazing for a long time will be full of affection for the night sky. Shi Zaixing seemed to have realized something and thought of the teachings of Qianji Sect.
"Nothing in the world can compare to the eternity of the stars."
Forget it, whether it was Ye Xiaoman or the shameful scandal, he would forget her as time passed.
Shi Zai Xing asked his attendants, "Has the God Emperor gone to bed yet?"
"Given your status, no matter who you wish to see, at any time or in any place, those nobles will make time to meet you, no matter how inconvenient it is." The disciple replied, "Do you have an oracle to proclaim to the God Emperor?"
Shi Zai Xing said, "It's not really an oracle. I've calculated the future, and the Divine Emperor has the potential to be the common ruler of the world, able to assist the Savior in maintaining stability in the six realms. However, the Divine Emperor's luck has been poor in recent years, and he's bound to face some great tests from Heaven. It's a bit dangerous, so I'd like to give him some advice."
He finished speaking in a halting manner while coughing. He had been greatly traumatized during this period, and his emotional state had affected his health, making him look even more emaciated.
Even her beautiful long hair had lost some of its luster.
The disciple said, "The Sect Master has the world in his heart. The God Emperor will be very grateful."
Shi Zai Xing looked at the sky. Although it was already midnight, according to his past experience, no one would refuse his visit, no matter how spontaneous he was, so he said, "Let's go."
His immortal residence was just behind Ji Wenyi's palace, very close.
We soon arrived at our destination.
The palace was heavily guarded, and a group of people from the Qianji Sect were waiting in front of the palace gate. The disciple presented a visiting card, and the gatekeeper hurried inside to announce it.
Also, because Ji Wenyi had instructed earlier that if Shi Zaixing asked to see him, he should be brought directly to him, so while the first group went to report to Ji Wenyi, the second group fell behind a few steps and brought Shi Zaixing to Ji Wenyi's bedroom.
However, everyone was stopped by Ji Wenyi's attendants under the corridor of the bedroom.
"I'm afraid not tonight," the attendant said awkwardly, "Your Majesty and the Empress..."
Ji Wenyi was wary of Ji Weiming like he was a thief. In order to prevent Ji Weiming from disturbing him, no one knew about his date with Ye Xiaoman except his close confidants.
The guards on standby outside did not realize until this moment that they had done something bad.
Shi Zaixing's wheelchair was parked on the jade steps outside the bedroom. He could hear the guards' whispered discussions clearly. He was not angry when Ji Wenyi refused to let him in.
The emotional movements of the God Emperor had once caused a lot of controversy. Even though Shi Zaixing was ignorant, the people around him had specifically reminded him, so he was aware of it.
He was in a very good temper and was about to take his leave.
Suddenly there was a loud noise from above.
Shi Zaixing was coughing with his handkerchief against his lips. He looked up unintentionally and saw from afar a woman in green clothes who seemed to be sleepwalking on the jade steps and the corridor outside the bedroom under the brilliant palace lanterns. She had long black hair and closed eyes, and was staggering on the corridor.
Ji Wenyi followed her closely, only in his pajamas, coaxing her in a low voice: "Abao, come back with me, okay?"
From Shi Zaixing's perspective, the woman only showed a small part of her side face to him, and soon, Ji Wenyi noticed the presence of outsiders below. He immediately picked up the woman and hugged her sideways. As if he didn't like others peeping at his woman, his wide sleeves covered the figure of the woman in his arms.
But Shi Zaixing recognized that it was Ye Xiaoman at a glance.
Shi Zaixing stood there motionless as if he had been struck by a needle, and even forgot to cough.
