2261 Returning It to You
Jin Yunlai leaned back in his chair. “Isn’t that normal? Everyone wants to know why you’re looking for him now. Of course, he won’t see you.”
Shu Jing frowned. “Of course, I know that. However, I suddenly thought of something: The First Deity hasn’t appeared for several years. All along, many matters in Fantasy Divine Palace have been handed over to the Second Deity to handle. Don’t you think this is a little strange?”
Jin Yunlai frowned. “What’s so strange about that? The most important duty of the First Deity is always to be loyal to Fantasy Divine Hall. Isn’t it normal to leave those messy small matters to the subordinates to handle? Do you think everyone is like you, wishing they could completely control all the power?”
These words were ear-piercing, making Shu Jing’s expression turn very ugly.
However, Jin Yunlai’s status was higher than hers. Furthermore, this was the truth, so she had no right to refute.!!
She took a deep breath and suppressed the fire.
“It’s fine usually, but the Heaven Gate has already opened now. However, the First Deity has yet to appear. This doesn’t make sense.” She raised her chin. “I’m just asking you—have you sent this list to the First Deity?”
Jin Yunlai narrowed his eyes. “The First Deity has already instructed that these matters will be handed over to the Second Deity.”
“He doesn’t take anything else seriously, but it’s fine to pay more attention to it. However, this name list… is very important. Why doesn’t he look at it? In fact, he hasn’t asked once?”
The room fell into a short silence.
Jin Yunlai slowly sat up straight. “What do you want to say?”
Shu Jing said, “It’s not that I want to say anything; I just feel that there’s something strange about this matter. In addition, some time ago, the Sixth Deity returned. I heard that his body was completely destroyed, and even his Holy Body died. He’s in seclusion to recover now. That person is extremely scheming. Who would he suffer so much under?”
Jin Yunlai didn’t speak.
The relationships between the various deities of Fantasy Divine Hall weren’t very close. Most of the time, they were just doing their respective jobs. Sometimes, they might not even see each other for years.
He had more contact with Shu Jing.
Shu Jing lowered her voice, and there seemed to be a fine light flickering in her eyes. “I know that the Sixth Deity was ordered to leave, and his return this time was also approved. However, there are rumors on the streets that the First Deity actually left Fantasy Divine Palace a few years ago, but he only returned recently—”
“Rumors on the streets?” Jin Yunlai sneered. “It’s best to speak less about this kind of thing without evidence. Besides, this concerns the First Deity, so you have to be careful with your words and actions. Shu Jing, don’t blame me for not reminding you. Don’t extend your hand so far. Otherwise, you won’t even know when you’ll die.”
Shu Jing was indignant. “But—”
“If you really want to know, why don’t you go and see the First Deity again and ask him in person? This way, the truth can be revealed. What rumors can be more credible than the explanation of the person involved? Or you can ask the Second Deity. In short, I won’t stop you.”
But he wouldn’t get involved.
Seeing his firm attitude, Shu Jing gritted her teeth.
Roar!
A roar suddenly came from outside the door.
The two of them were shocked and turned to look.
Jin Yunlai got up and walked over to open the window.
A muscular white lion was leaping over. Those ice-blue eyes were looking straight at them, cold, indifferent, and extremely sharp.
When it saw the two of them, it licked its claws, and a hint of mockery flashed across its eyes.
But when the two people in the room saw it, they were shocked and looked at each other. Why is the emperor’s magical beast suddenly here? Then, what we just said—
Shu Jing clenched her fists nervously. Her lips were pale. This white lion rarely comes here. Why did it suddenly appear today?
She opened her mouth and was about to explain. “I—”
Roar!
Before she could say anything, the white lion had already retracted its gaze. Then, it turned around and jumped away quickly.
It was extremely fast and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Jin Yunlai suddenly thought of something and turned around to ask, “Where did it come from just now?”
Shu Jing was stunned. “I didn’t notice. What’s wrong?”
Jin Yunlai slowly clenched his fists. “If I’m not wrong, it seems to have come from the direction of the First Deity’s residence.”
“How is that possible?” Shu Jing subconsciously retorted. “We can’t get close to the First Deity easily, and his residence hasn’t been opened for years. Even I was stopped outside previously. How could it have come from there?”
Jin Yunlai lowered his eyes slightly. This is my territory—I wouldn’t sense wrongly. There is only the First Deity in that direction. It must’ve come from there. However, why did it go there?
“Maybe I saw wrongly.” Jin Yunlai closed the window. “You should go back. Let’s forget about the First Deity. If you really want to know, you know who to ask.”
With that, he sat back in his seat and assumed a welcoming posture.
Shu Jing bit her lip and finally retreated.
…
At this moment, Chu Liuyue and the others had already arrived at the ocean again.
There were more people traveling with them this time. Apart from Su Li and Rong Xiu—who were initially invited—there was also Mu Hongyu, Jian Fengchi, and Yan Qing. Even Tang Ke, who said he had something to do at the beginning, came along.
When everyone arrived, there were more people standing on the shore than when Chu Liuyue left previously.
Ever since the Heaven Gate opened, the experts in the God Residence Realm had come over.
When Chu Liuyue brought Cen Yi and the others over, they were considered the first batch.
Now, as time passed, more people naturally came.
As they already had the previous experience, Chu Liuyue and the rest’s journey was much smoother this time.
Apart from Mu Hongyu, Jian Fengchi, and Su Li who were still true gods, everyone else was already legendary warriors.
Su Li was an Armory Refinement Saint herself. If she wanted to cross this ocean, she really had a lot of Yuan instruments.
There was no need to mention Mu Hongyu. She could even travel freely through the sky, so this was naturally not a problem.
Hence, in the end, the only one left was actually Jian Fengchi.
Looking at the surging waves in front of him, he grabbed Mu Hongyu’s wrist without hesitation.
Mu Hongyu looked up at him.
Jian Fengchi coughed. “Take me there, and I’ll return the contract to you.”
Mu Hongyu was originally a little hesitant, but when she heard this, she immediately chose to agree without hesitation. “Deal!”
Chu Liuyue glanced at him suspiciously. Based on my understanding of Jian Fengchi, he doesn’t seem like someone who would be so straightforward…
Suddenly, a warm and strong hand reached over and held hers. “Yue’er, let’s go.”
Rong Xiu looked up at the silver bridge calmly and raised his eyebrows slightly. “I hope everything goes well.”
