A sound of pleasure
As soon as he finished speaking, Heng Jin sensed that Tian Shu had already arrived outside the house, but was unable to enter due to the barrier he had set up inside. He pulled Tian Shu into the barrier and asked, "Why are you here in the mortal world instead of investigating Hui's identity in the heavenly realm? If it's about the same thing we discussed before, there's no need to say anything more."
"It's not that. We've been searching for Qing Hui's identity to no avail, and we've already alerted her. If I continue searching in the heavens, I'm afraid our identities will be exposed. It would be better for us to come down to the mortal world with you to help."
After Heng Jin tacitly agreed to Tian Shu's stay, he continued, "The miasma issue on Yue Mang Mountain will be handled by the Heaven Realm. You must evacuate immediately. I will report this to the Heavenly Sovereign in front of all the immortals and gods. Even Qing Hui, no matter how powerful he is, cannot suppress the immortals and gods."
He Qi scoffed and said sarcastically, "Report, report, you're talking about reporting back again. No matter what it is, if it falls into your hands, reporting back won't yield any results, so what's there to report? You're slower than the human border in transmitting news. If there's one culprit for Xie Yuan's escape, it's your Heaven Realm's failure to handle the situation in a timely manner! This time, no one will clean up your mess for you."
"What do you mean?" Heng Jin asked.
"You still have the nerve to question me? Did I say something wrong? Hmm? Tianshu, what do you think?"
Tianshu couldn't accuse Tianjie in front of Hengjin, so he could only laugh awkwardly.
Heng Jin quickly understood and questioned Tian Shu, "What did He Qi mean when he said that Xie Yuan was able to escape and that the biggest culprit was our Heaven Realm's failure to handle the situation in a timely manner?"
Without waiting for Tianshu to answer, Hengjin took the initiative to cast a mantra spell on him.
Tianshu spoke uncontrollably, "Just before your second life's tribulation was over, a few days after the sudden disappearance of the Yuanli Star Lord, I was considered the prime suspect by the Celestial Realm as the one who had taken the Yuanli Star Lord away. I hid in the Demon Realm, and Heqi suddenly returned, saying that the stone formation suppressing Xie Yuan might have been disturbed, and asked me to go and investigate. When I entered the stone formation, I found that Xie Yuan's soul was only slightly damaged compared to his ten thousand years ago. The power that the Liwan Demon Lord had used to suppress him was dissipating even faster, which could only mean that someone was deliberately repairing his broken soul. I immediately returned to the Celestial Realm to report to the Heavenly Lord. The Heavenly Lord was furious, but simply told me to focus all my energy on helping you with the tribulation. When you return to the Celestial Realm, he will discuss a countermeasure with you."
He Qi said angrily, "When you came out of the stone formation, you didn't tell me that my sister's power to suppress him dissipated even faster! Why did you keep it a secret?"
"I'm afraid that once you know, your anger and impulsiveness will make you do something uncontrollable."
"Do you think that if I knew about this later, I wouldn't be even angrier, more impulsive, and do something even more uncontrollable? You even hid things about my sister from me! I trusted you so much, even treated you like a brother, you ungrateful bastard!"
"Sorry…Tsurusu."
Heng Jin didn't wait for He Qi to ask about the blame, and continued to ask Tian Shu about everything that happened after he entered the stone formation. After hearing the details, the room fell silent, and everyone was shocked, especially Yuan Li.
The mantra was lifted, and Tianshu said, "Emperor, I know this all sounds absurd. But you and I are both well aware of the rumors that circulated thirty thousand years ago. There were even a lot of witnesses and evidence discovered by the Celestial Realm beforehand. Didn't you doubt the truth of these rumors at the time?"
Tianshu knew the importance and significance of Tianjun to Emperor Hengjin, so he couldn't say many things directly. After careful consideration, Tianshu said, "A friend of mine once said that rumors can only spread because they are based on facts that people can speculate about. What she said is very true."
"I once doubted the veracity of those rumors, but regardless of whether they were true or false, even if he had a preference for Long Yang, he couldn't just believe Xie Yuan's one-sided story and cling to him recklessly. If he truly had the blood of a Heavenly Sovereign, he would have already gone astray after absorbing so much miasma."
Yuanli said, "Come on. Doesn't the Emperor really think that Xie Yuan's description of his relationship with the Heavenly Monarch sounds a lot like Youyou and Qinghui? And Youyou is a lot like Xie Yuan. Everything is clearly connected, but you're biased towards the Heavenly Monarch and unwilling to admit it. You have deep selfish motives, so it's best for the Emperor to stay out of this."
Upon hearing this, Tianshu, listening to Yuanli's blunt words, wanted to cast a spell to stop her from speaking immediately. This Yuanli was so bold that she had no scruples at all.
Heng Jin said, "I have had my suspicions, but before there is any factual evidence, I will always trust the Heavenly Sovereign first, regardless of all speculation or rumors. If one of you were involved in this matter and became the object of suspicion, I would also trust you first before there is any factual evidence. I will always put public interests first and personal interests second. Even if I am overly selfish, I will always prioritize public affairs and protecting the people."
"Evidence and evidence don't count as factual evidence? Then what counts as factual evidence? Does Xie Yuan have to stage a father-son reunion in front of all of you immortals and gods? Fine, fine, even if you can handle this impartially, he is the Heavenly Sovereign, the Lord of the Heavens. Who of you can resist him? Who dares to resist him? How can we investigate? The entire Heavens are his people."
Tianshu smiled awkwardly and tried to smooth things over, "Haha, it seems we both have some misunderstandings that haven't been explained clearly. Plus, with Xie Yuan appearing, everyone's a little anxious. Let's understand each other, understand each other."
After receiving the hint from Tianshu, whose eyes were almost twitching, Yuanli finally restrained herself. She still had something to ask of him, and she had indeed said something a bit too much.
"I was too impatient and offended you. Please forgive me, Emperor Hengjin."
"That's fine. From your perspective, what you just said is not an exaggeration."
Cha Suxun said, "Alright, if we continue to dwell on grudges, I'm afraid we'll never get to the end. Let's get back to the point. Considering the entire incident, whether Xie Yuan exists or not is irrelevant. Those who used Si Tiao to gather miasma and resentment must have been used by Xie Yuan after he escaped. After all, the one who facilitated this was one of Xie Yuan's former subordinates. Now is not the time to pursue the main culprit. We should be considering how to suppress Xie Yuan again, or even kill him."
"Yes. But I still have a question. If the stone formation is broken, then my sister..."
Heng Jin knew what he wanted to ask, so she answered directly: "By the time we got there, she had already dissipated to the point where we couldn't sense any trace of her presence. Soon, she in Kashi will also dissipate into the world."
As soon as he finished speaking, Heqi disappeared into the house. Everyone knew the reason for his departure.
Yuanli tugged at Cha Suxun's sleeve, whispered something in his ear, and asked, "Aren't you going with us?"
Seeing him smile and shake his head, Yuanli continued, "I don't mind. If you want to go, you can go."
She really didn't mind, nor did she expect his love for her to surpass his previous love for Li Wan. After so many years of friendship, even if they didn't become husband and wife, they were like family in each other's hearts.
She was already satisfied that he didn't disappear immediately when he heard the news.
Cha Suxun still shook his head and said, "I'll tell you later when we get back to the room."
"good."
In Heng Jin's eyes, their intimate actions were like a sharp thorn that pierced his flesh, causing pain in his eyes, but he couldn't pull it out.
Cha Suxun asked Heng Jin, "Aren't you going with He Qi? After falling in love, it's understandable that you're going to say your final goodbye. We can discuss this again when you come back."
"Then you won't go? After all, you two were childhood sweethearts and were engaged to be married."
Facing Heng Jin's counterattack, Cha Suxun decided to kill a thousand enemies and lose eight hundred of his own men, just to make him unhappy too.
"So you also knew that we were childhood sweethearts and were engaged. I thought you were ignorant and that's why you interfered with other people's marriages. Actually, you and I are destined to be together too. You're always the one who tries to interfere with my marriage. I always misunderstand that you have some grudge against me, and that you're just trying to steal my marriage out of spite."
"If this was truly your destiny, I wouldn't have appeared. Perhaps I was meant to be. I have no grudge against you, so why would I deliberately try to steal you away? As the saying goes, a beautiful lady is always a good match for a gentleman."
"So you can actually say that. I've been thinking like a mortal for too long. After all, in the mortal world, interfering in other people's marriages is shameful and despicable. I couldn't change my mindset for a moment, and I'm really sorry. My wife is the most beautiful woman in the world. It's common for a gentleman to be attracted to her because of your favor. When it comes to magnanimity, I'm not as magnanimous as you. I hope the Emperor can understand my heart as a husband."
Being inferior in morality, one is inferior in speech in every aspect. Although Heng Jin is angry, he has to control his words and actions.
The two of them were arguing with each other in a sarcastic tone, and Yuanli became more and more displeased as she listened.
Cha Suxun also quickly noticed that something was wrong with Yuanli, so he brought the topic back to Xie Yuan.
"What do you in the Heaven Realm say this time? Do you still want to solve the problem through suppression?"
"Besides suppression, there is currently no better solution. All the immortals and gods feel that suppression is the safest option."
"All the immortals and gods. So, you didn't object, did you?" Seeing him acquiesce, Cha Suxun's anger shot up his spine. "The only known Fire Bear in the world is Heqi. You said that they must have committed so much evil in their past lives to have met someone like you. After using the sister, you want to use the brother to clean up your mess. I warn you, don't set your sights on Heqi again. I don't care whether I die with you or the Heavenly Sovereign personally kills me. As long as I'm alive, I will not let you hurt Heqi again. This is a fight to the death."
"I didn't deny it because I didn't have a better way to convince everyone, but I will definitely find another solution."
"You always have so much to say."
The atmosphere in the room reached freezing point. Tianshu was also angry that he indirectly caused the death of Yuanli, so he was unwilling to be a peacemaker anymore. He deserved a good scolding.
Cha Suxun added, "You'd better keep your word, otherwise, I will have the same goal as Xie Yuan."
