"You actually broke into the Sword Forging Hall and destroyed all the magical artifacts inside?" Chu Yi's expression seemed to be a mix of amusement and exasperation. "No wonder the Grand Elder didn't care about Master Duan's friendship at all and threw you into the Heavenly Prison."
Feng Yan looked indignant. "That Xu fellow killed my master and stole his position. Of course I can't let him get away with this!"
Chu Yi was taken aback at first, then sighed softly, "The Grand Elder has already found the culprit and punished him for what happened back then. Do you still think Xu Ye is the real culprit?"
Feng Yan nodded without hesitation, "That's right, it was definitely him. I will prove it to everyone! When the truth comes out, I will make Xu Ye pay the price!"
Chu Yi's eyes flickered slightly. She was still cultivating in the Divine Realm the year Master Duan had his accident, and she vaguely felt that something was wrong with the matter.
However, the Grand Elder had already made a judgment at the time and explicitly forbade anyone to mention the matter again. Now that so much time has passed, the truth has long been buried by the dust of time.
Moreover, even when Master Duan was still alive, the Grand Elder already disliked Feng Yan very much. Now that Master Duan has passed away, Feng Yan has been expelled from the Divine Realm and has now been sent to the Land of Forsaken Gods.
It is clear that given Feng Yan's current position, reopening the investigation of this case would be extremely difficult.
Objectively speaking, this is actually a completely impossible thing to do.
However, saying these words would be too cruel, and Chu Yi didn't want to dampen Feng Yan's enthusiasm, nor did she want to extinguish his only remaining hope, so she could only nod in response and then change the subject.
"Then why were these two friends sent to the land forsaken by God?"
She could understand the demon boy; after all, gods and demons are sworn enemies, and demons who intrude into the divine realm never end well.
But what about this eighth-realm divine realm disciple?
Putting aside his divine realm disciple attire, Chu Yi sensed a similar aura from Yin Ming, which suggested that he had also practiced divine realm techniques.
Moreover, he also has a disciple's token, which cannot be faked.
Such a talented young man should be a key figure in the sect's cultivation. How did he offend the Grand Elder and ruin his promising future?
Chu Yi wasn't worried that these two people were some heinous criminals—Feng Yan had always hated evil and disdained associating with people of impure intentions. The fact that he was willing to travel with them meant that they weren't criminals.
Yin Ming really didn't know where to begin with this question, but fortunately Feng Yan took the initiative to explain the situation for him: "The people of the Divine Realm used me as bait to lure out this red-clothed fellow."
"And this brother risked his life to save his lover, and as a result, the two of them were captured by the six elders."
Yin Ming, who had been nodding in agreement, froze after hearing one of his off-topic remarks.
No, what nonsense are you talking about! What lover?!
What kind of person is this, spreading rumors right in front of him!
Yin Ming immediately waved his hands nervously, "I didn't, I didn't do it, don't talk nonsense!"
Feng Yan raised an eyebrow at this, and even Chu Yi cast a glance at Yin Ming. It was not hard to see that both of them were surprised by his overly excited reaction.
Realizing his behavior did indeed seem rather suspicious, Yin Ming coughed lightly, gripped his teacup tighter, and explained,
“He is my friend. Of course I should stand up for my friend when he is in trouble.”
Lingyao simply nodded indifferently at this explanation.
Feng Yan, who had been observing the two of them the whole time, stared at their expressions with suspicion. "Is that so?"
"Yes, definitely." Yin Ming replied quickly, whether to prove himself to Feng Yan or to reassure his seemingly wavering heart.
Lingyao was in danger because he mistook Fengyan for Yinming. Since the incident was caused by Yinming, he shouldn't have just watched Lingyao be killed in the siege of the six elders.
If Long Cheng had been on the stage, Yin Ming would definitely have gone up to save him too.
However, in his haste, Yin Ming overlooked the fact that if the person on the stage were Long Cheng, then rescuing him would indeed be necessary. But since the person on the stage was Ling Yao, there was absolutely no need to do so.
They have the protagonist's halo! Do they need your help? This is just making things worse.
Feng Yan's expression clearly showed his disbelief, but since the person in question had already come forward to deny it, he could only shrug and say, "Whatever you say is what it is. You can believe it yourself."
Yin Ming's eye twitched violently. What kind of talk was that! What kind of talk was that!
The way he said that made it sound like he was absolutely certain of the relationship between Yin Ming and the other person, and that Yin Ming was just being stubborn and refusing to admit it!
Whether out of guilt or something else, Yin Ming ultimately didn't dare to continue responding to the topic.
Feng Yan didn't press the matter further. Feeling thirsty, he took a sip of tea and then leisurely asked, "And what about you?"
"I?"
Chu Yi was watching the commotion with a slight smile. She hadn't experienced this relaxed atmosphere of chatting and drinking tea in groups of three or five for a long time.
Caught off guard by the question about herself, her expression immediately became somewhat sentimental.
"Not long after you left the Divine Realm, the elders said they wanted to train the next goddess."
Feng Yan nodded knowingly. "So, you were elected?"
Chu Yi nodded slightly. "Yes, I was elected."
The goddess of the divine realm? Yin Ming seemed to have heard of this title before.
The specifics of what they were going to do were unclear; they were only told that they would be sent to a place called the Qitian Temple to cultivate in seclusion.
Every hundred years, the Divine Realm selects a girl with exceptional talent and sends her to the Qitian Divine Palace. Once inside, the girl's strength is greatly enhanced, and she becomes a core figure in the future of the sect.
They were then isolated from the world and no longer bound by worldly ties, only reappearing when the divine realm faced a crisis.
It sounds just like becoming a nun, but what Yin Ming couldn't understand was that many young girls were proud to become goddesses.
For them, this seemed to be an extremely honorable and prestigious title.
Although the girl who was sent there was never seen again, people believed that this was the reason why the divine realm had never experienced a crisis.
They firmly believed that these girls had become a hidden force protecting the divine realm, and it was because of their secret protection that the sect was able to prosper.
Therefore, no one has ever questioned the significance of the existence of the goddess and the Qitian Temple.
However, Yin Ming, a reader who reads transmigrated into the novel, pointed out that the so-called goddess group did not appear when the protagonist entered the divine realm in the original story.
Therefore, this statement is definitely false, and there is probably some unspeakable secret hidden inside!
Chu Yi's next words confirmed Yin Ming's guess.
“I didn’t really want to be the goddess at the time, but I had to obey the Grand Elder’s orders.”
"But when I go with them to that so-called Qitian Temple..." Chu Yi slowly turned around and looked around the world shrouded by the barrier.
"But we ended up here."
Yin Ming's eyes narrowed; it was indeed a scam.
"What about the goddess from before?"
