2397 I Don’t Know

Chu Liuyue paused in her actions and carried Tuan Zi. “Angry about what?”

Mu Hongyu muttered, “Mu Qinghe… lied to you…”

Chu Liuyue thought for a while and then laughed. “He didn’t only lie to me, right?”

Other than her, all these people in the Fantasy Divine Hall seemed clueless about his experiences.

Everyone said that the First Deity was in seclusion for many years, but that was clearly not the case. He did not spend those few years in Tianling for nothing.

Mu Hongyu looked at her smiling, but she could not feel her emotions. Probably… If it were me, I would feel complicated at this juncture, right? Mu Qinghe even took action against her.

Chu Liuyue looked down slightly, paused for a moment, and said, “I was rather angry when I first saw him and learned of his identity, but now…”

As if she thought of something, her lips curled up at a faint angle. “Fantasy Divine Hall’s First Deity once respectfully followed me for many years. Thinking of this, it’s not a big loss.”

However, Mu Hongyu could not laugh.

Tuan Zi’s entire person lay in Chu Liuyue’s arms as her two chubby arms tightly hugged the latter’s neck, clearly in a bad mood.

“A’Yue,” muttered Tuan Zi. “Hong Yao is actually still alive…”

Chu Liuyue pinched her face. “Yeah, Hong Yao is fine, and I think it has broken through to become a ninth-grade fiend. You should be happy for it.”

When Tuan Zi was still a Nine-Colored Heavenly Pheasant in the past, she was always a grade higher than Hong Yao, so she bullied Hong Yao. Hence, Hong Yao always wanted to break through to become a ninth-grade fiend.

Now, its wish had come true.

Tuan Zi looked up at her. “However, Hong Yao isn’t happy.”

Chu Liuyue fell silent.

“A’Yue, I keep forgetting to tell you that ever since I went to Phoenix Mountain, I frequently felt a pair of eyes staring at me secretly. I tried looking for it many times and didn’t see who it was. Even when I chased it to the Fantasy Divine Hall, I still couldn’t understand.”

Chu Liuyue was dazed. “You mean when I first entered the Fantasy Divine Hall?”

“Yeah!” Tuan Zi pouted. “I saw the figure enter the First Deity’s residence, and I knocked on the door for a very long time, but they didn’t open it for me. At that time, I was furious, but…”

Chu Liuyue instantly understood. “That figure… is Hong Yao?”

Tuan Zi nodded. “It was also after Hong Yao willingly found me today that I knew that—”

“Hong Yao found you?”

“Yeah! If it weren’t for it, I wouldn’t have known that you were in danger in the Fantasy Divine Sea! Later on, Hong Yao and I wanted to go out, but the so-called deity refused. I said I wanted to break the barrier, and he forcefully agreed then.”

Upon hearing this, Mu Hongyu silently shrunk her neck. Break the barrier… Only Tuan Zi could do such a thing…

However, Chu Liuyue was in deep thought. Hong Yao… willingly found Tuan Zi?

Tuan Zi suddenly turned around and jumped down from Chu Liuyue’s arms. She hugged her arms and said pitifully, “A’Yue, let’s go get Hong Yao back! Okay?”

Chu Liuyue sighed lightly. “It’s still Mu Qinghe’s fiend after all.”

Tuan Zi was enraged. “He’s already the so-called First Deity. He can have whatever legendary fiend he wants! Does he still lack a ninth-grade fiend like Hong Yao?!”

Chu Liuyue’s gaze flickered slightly.

…

Shoo!

Hong Yao flew to the yard and stuck its head into the pile of fallen leaves. Then, Mu Qinghe’s figure slowly appeared in the yard.

Mu Qinghe didn’t even look at Hong Yao as he walked straight into the room and coldly said, “From today onward, you’re not allowed to take a step out of here.”

Hong Yao suddenly flew out from the leaves and came to Mu Qinghe.

Mu Qinghe paused in his tracks.

The human and the fiend stared at each other.

Perhaps because it had just cried, Hong Yao’s eyes were especially clear. At this point, its eyes still had rage that did not dissipate.

Mu Qinghe’s expression was cold and nonchalant.

After a while, Hong Yao turned around to leave.

Mu Qinghe pushed open the door to enter.

…

Qi Han stood outside the door and stood guard peacefully.

Finally, the sound of the door opening was heard.

He turned around to see Mu Hongyu walking out of the room.

Compared to her initial excitement, she was currently disappointed and looked a little frail.

It was no wonder she was acting in this manner. All along, she thought that she could successfully rescue Diwu Zhangze after she reached the Great Advanced Realm. Who knew things would reach this state?

Now that Mu Qinghe already knew of their plans, he would guard the area even more strictly in the future. It would be extremely difficult to save Diwu Zhangze.

He is the First Deity, and he definitely is biased toward the Fantasy Divine Hall!

Thinking of this, Mu Hongyu suddenly grinded her teeth and hastened her pace.

…

“What did you say?! The First Deity is Mu Qinghe?!” Inside the room, Jian Fengchi’s face was filled with shock, and he almost doubted his hearing.

He suddenly stood up. “D-did you see wrongly?”

Mu Hongyu laughed coldly. “He even admitted it himself. How would I mistake him?”

Jian Fengchi’s mind was momentarily blank, and he could not say a word.

Mu Hongyu took a step forward and questioned, “Aren’t you on good terms with him? Did you already know that he’s the First Deity?!”

Jian Fengchi felt extremely aggrieved. “I really didn’t know! I just—”

His voice suddenly trailed off.

Mu Hongyu knitted her brows. “Just what?”

Jian Fengchi took a deep breath in. “I’m barely related to him. I don’t know him at all—at all!”

Mu Hongyu stared at him. “Repeat whatever you just said.”

Jian Fengchi felt a chill down his spine. After a while, he helplessly said, “I really didn’t know about this.”
