If he had come back earlier, perhaps not so many people would have died in heaven.

Nangong Rou and Lu Tianjiao were safe, which was a blessing in disguise.

Nangong Rou, who was standing next to him, thought Jiang Zhige was thinking about Tong Yin's words, and couldn't help asking, "Brother, are you really going to challenge Yuan Jiu?"

Jiang Zhige came back to his senses and nodded, "Of course, when the Chaos Monster appears, the Heaven Realm cannot stay out of it. Joining forces to encircle and suppress it is our only chance."

Hearing this, Nangong Rou and the others fell silent.

Tong Yin alone was so terrifying, how strong would Yuan Jiu be who needed to fight against so many great emperors? Although Jiang Zhige avoided a fatal fight today, he was afraid that he would be in even greater danger in fifteen days.

Ning Qiu Shui sighed softly and was about to speak, but was interrupted by Jiang Zhige who raised his hand.

"This battle is different from the past. I can go alone. You guys won't be of much use if you go there."

Nangong Rou and Lu Tianjiao, who were about to speak, were suddenly speechless. Jiang Zhige was right. Facing such an existence, the Half-Emperor Realm was nothing more than cannon fodder.

Although the Half-Emperor Realm should participate in the war, how could Jiang Zhige be willing to let the people he valued be cannon fodder? Ning Qiushui shook his head and said, "Ah Zhi, the Demon Emperor has already said that this war concerns everyone in the heavens and myriad worlds. How can we hide in the heavens and live in disgrace?"

Over the past few decades, with Jiang Zhige's help, she has successfully broken through to the Semi-Emperor Realm, so she is not completely unable to help.

"But Qiu Shui, you still have our baby in your belly."

Before Jiang Zhige could finish his words, Ning Qiushui pressed her fingers against his lips.

As soon as these words came out, even though she was interrupted by Ning Qiu Shui, Nangong Rou still felt as if she was struck by lightning.

The key words are so clear that anyone with a discerning eye can understand what Jiang Zhige is trying to say.

After not seeing each other for decades, Ning Qiushui not only became so intimate with Jiang Zhige, but she was even pregnant with his child? And I had to be very careful when calling him brother, for fear that Jiang Zhige would refute me again.

From now on, Ning Qiu Shui is the only woman of Jiang Zhige. I, Mo Ziyan and Su Qingqiu will probably be gradually forgotten by Jiang Zhige.

Lu Tianjiao was also secretly surprised. He guessed that Ning Qiu Shui was different, but he didn't expect that Ning Qiu Shui would really accompany Jiang Zhige to the end.

Now that Ning Qiu Shui is pregnant, given Jiang Zhige's personality, even if the previous incident had not happened, he probably would no longer have any romantic thoughts about Nangong Rou and the other two girls.

Ning Qiushui seemed not to notice the expressions of the two people, and said to Jiang Zhige seriously: "Ah Zhi, when the nest is overturned, no one will be left unscathed. You said it yourself, no one can stay out of it."

Jiang Zhige frowned slightly and remained silent.

You are right. If we lose this battle, no one in the heavens and the world will be spared, including Ning Qiu Shui. It is better to go and help.

Besides, all the powerful people from all realms have gathered here. Who doesn't know that he is cannon fodder? As a powerful person in the semi-emperor realm, if he just watches the battlefield from behind and waits for the outcome to be decided, it would be too cowardly and selfish.

Jiang Zhige understood these principles clearly, but he found it hard to imagine the scene of Ning Qiu Shui leaving him.

After a long silence, Jiang Zhige finally stopped trying to stop Ning Qiushui and said with a sigh, "In that case, I will go and prepare the troops to fight Yuan Jiu together."

A deadly battle is inevitable, but he can still do his best to protect Ning Qiu Shui on the battlefield.

After Jiang Zhige left, Nangong Rou gradually came to her senses. She lowered her head and tried hard to suppress the urge to cry.

Jiang Zhige's words at the time had already sent Nangong Rou to hell.

After being forced to leave Bailulin, Nangong Rou was tortured by the sorrow. She even envied Mo Ziyan who had lost her memory, because at least she didn't have to endure such excruciating pain.

She also thought about returning to Bailulin and reconciling with Jiang Zhige, but whenever she thought of Jiang Zhige's words, she couldn't muster up the courage.

Although she knew that this was her retribution and she had no right to ask for Jiang Zhige's love anymore, she really, really wanted to stay by Jiang Zhige's side like before.

Now, Jiang Zhige has Ning Qiu Shui, and Nangong Rou's last bit of hope has been shattered.

From now on, she can only watch Jiang Zhige silently in the corner. Even if they can reconcile as before, she can only wish Jiang Zhige happiness as a sister.

At this moment, a hand suddenly patted Nangong Rou's shoulder.

Nangong Rou looked up and saw that it was Ning Qiu Shui.

Facing this former 'rival', Nangong Rou, who had once considered herself a younger sister, could no longer muster the slightest bit of pride, and only felt extremely confused and inferior.

If Jiang Zhige cares, Nangong Rou is still Nangong Rou.

If Jiang Zhige didn't care about her, what qualifications would she have to compete with Ning Qiushui? After the three Tongyins left, Jiang Zhige didn't pay any special attention to Nangong Rou, and didn't say a few words to her. His focus was obviously on Ning Qiushui.

You know, the brother and sister haven't seen each other for decades.

Seeing Nangong Rou like this, Ning Qiu Shui couldn't help but laugh and shook her head, "Xiao Rou, don't worry too much. Your brother is not as complicated as you think."

Jiang Zhige's attitude towards Nangong Rou has never changed from beginning to end. If he didn't care about Nangong Rou, he might not have returned to heaven at all.

She hadn't shown any special concern for Nangong Rou before, only because Ning Qiu Shui was pregnant and couldn't spare much time to talk to Nangong Rou.

Nangong Rou, who was comforted by Ning Qiu Shui, couldn't help but be stunned.

Ning Qiu Shui's comfort was not just comfort, it also meant that she did not reject Nangong Rou from staying with Jiang Zhige.

If Ning Qiu Shui rejects Nangong Rou, Jiang Zhige will definitely keep his distance from Nangong Rou deliberately and will no longer tolerate Nangong Rou exceeding the status of brother and sister.

If Ning Qiu Shui hadn't rejected her, Nangong Rou would still have a chance. It all depended on how hard she worked.

"I"

Thinking of this, Nangong Rou's eyes suddenly filled with tears and her heart was in turmoil.

At this moment, she felt more ashamed than touched.

In the past, she had excluded Ning Qiu Shui more than once, believing that only herself, Mo Ziyan and Su Qingqiu were qualified to stay with Jiang Zhige.

Ning Qiu Shui had never done anything to exclude her, and now she took the initiative to comfort Nangong Rou.

If you put yourself in her shoes, if Nangong Rou is pregnant with Jiang Zhige's child, would she be magnanimous enough to tolerate Ning Qiu Shui continuing to stay with Jiang Zhige?

Perhaps, this is the difference between her and Ning Qiu Shui.

At this moment, Lu Tianjiao next to him was confused.

The atmosphere between the two women was really weird. They didn't exchange much words, but it seemed like they were having a heart-to-heart talk.

Especially Nangong Rou's expression that changed several times made him even more confused.

Having not seen each other for decades, as an old friend who has known Jiang Zhige for a thousand years, Lu Tianjiao also did not have the opportunity to chat with Jiang Zhige for many words, but he did not think much about it at all.

You have to know that in fifteen days, there will be a battle that will determine the survival of the world. Is now the time to care about these things?
