The Marriage of an Esteemed Supreme Healer, a Noble Ruler

Mu Hongyu looked at him in half-belief.

Jian Fengchi raised his palm. “I swear this matter has nothing to do with me at all. Didn’t you already say previously that the other deities didn’t know his past in Tianling? This proves that he basically arranged those incidents himself, right?”

Mu Hongyu thought deeply about it before she slowly put down her doubts toward Jian Fengchi and coldly grunted. “Even if you didn’t know these things, you didn’t hear anything about him betraying Liuyue back then?”

Jian Fengchi leaned against the chair. “If I knew of it earlier, that incident wouldn’t have happened.”

Even though he had always been impacted by Chu Liuyue all these years, he respected and admired her in his heart. He himself knew clearly that it was because of Chu Liuyue that he continuously improved himself until now.

“However…” Jian Fengchi seemed hesitant. “Half a month before that incident happened, he was in seclusion the whole time and didn’t come out. I went to find him several times and was rejected by him for all sorts of reasons. I didn’t pay much attention to it back then. Who knew—”

Mu Hongyu lightly snorted. “He had long planned for it. It’s not strange for him to do it.”

“Yeah, he long had plans.” Jian Fengchi’s hand knocked against the handle. “I later realized this. I felt that even without Jiang Yucheng and Shangguan Wan, he would’ve taken action.”

Mu Hongyu’s red lips pouted. “I know. He did it for the music score.”

After all, he was Fantasy Divine Palace’s First Deity. Wasn’t this the best explanation?

Jian Fengchi asked in return, “Back then, the music score had already recognized her as its owner. If he really wanted, he could directly bring her back to the Fantasy Divine Hall. Why would he be so harsh?”

Mu Hongyu paused.

“Besides, don’t forget that the princess… never actually died.”

…

“A’Yue, why do you think he did so many things?” Confused, Tuan Zi lay on the bed and used both hands to support her chin. “Besides, since he was the First Deity, why did he listen to Mo Shiqian back then?”

Mo Shiqian was the Sixth Deity. Logically speaking, his status and abilities were far below Mu Qinghe.

However, Mu Qinghe was indeed tortured and suffered under Mo Shiqian—that was definitely not fake.

“If it were to act for you, he didn’t have to do this… After all, he had already taken action against you at that point.”

Since they were already on bad terms, why was there a need to do such a lame show? There was really no such need.

Holding a chess piece in her hand, Chu Liuyue sat by the window with a chessboard placed before her.

Hearing Tuan Zi’s words, her gaze flickered slightly.

Actually, she was also thinking of this question. It was a pity that Mo Shiqian was already dead, and she had no chance to ask further.

The only person she could ask was Mu Qinghe, but it was likely that he would not say anything.

The wound on her shoulder hurt faintly, reminding her of whatever happened previously.

The current Mu Qinghe is no longer the lonely, beggar-like young man that I picked up from the streets. Or perhaps… It was all a ploy since the very beginning?

She laughed and placed a chess piece down.

Piak!

“Eleventh Deity and Twelfth Deity didn’t even know about Mu Qinghe’s past in Tianling, so it’s also very normal for Mo Shiqian to not know.”

Judging by Mo Shiqian’s reaction back then, he definitely did not know Mu Qinghe’s true identity.

Tuan Zi suddenly realized something. “Ah! That’s right! Then, could it be… that he didn’t know himself?”

Chu Liuyue looked down slightly, keeping silent for a moment, and then said, “I don’t know either.”

She was doubtful about everything regarding Mu Qinghe. She couldn’t guess whatever was true or fake, and she did not want to guess.

“All in all, he only has one identity now—Fantasy Divine Hall’s First Deity! Other than this, he might have long forgotten the past.”

Who would want to remember their disheveled appearance? Even if it was a disguise, the years he spent serving her was probably a memory he, the First Deity, would not want to remember.

Tuan Zi rolled around and lay on her back, kicking her short legs. “I really want to ask him what’s going on! If I really can’t, it’s great if he releases Hong Yao!”

Chu Liuyue reminded, “Now that he had already regained his identity, Hong Yao won’t come again.”

In the past, everyone did not know what was going on, so Hong Yao could still secretly head to Phoenix Mountain to see Tuan Zi. But now, the bare truth was right before their eyes.

The two parties were standing in the clear. It was definitely inconvenient for Hong Yao to have any intimate interactions with them.

Tuan Zi was annoyed and upset. “Why did it end up like this?”

Chu Liuyue looked at the chessboard. Yeah, why did it end up like this?

…

Tuan Zi stayed at Chu Liuyue’s place for a day before she returned to Phoenix Mountain.

After experiencing this incident, she once again deeply felt that her strength wasn’t enough! Mu Qinghe is already the First Deity and even injured A’Yue. I have to become even stronger quickly!

On the other hand, Chu Liuyue went out to take a walk. She realized that nobody quite knew what happened in the Fantasy Divine Sea that day.

Clearly, Mu Qinghe was the one who suppressed the news.

There was one last month left until the Heaven Gate closed. The streets were cold and isolated, but there were quite a few people on the Star Path.

At the very end, the Xuan Masters who felt that they still had a bit of hope started taking action.

When Chu Liuyue walked past the Star Path, she basically already determined the results of these people.

Previously, Mu Yafeng had Jin Yunlai’s help, but she still could not succeed, let alone these people.

However, Chu Liuyue finally understood why Jin Yunlai did not hold himself back and helped Mu Yafeng. This Star Path was indeed too difficult for these Xuan Masters.

If there wasn’t a single person who succeeded, it would not look too good on him then.

Actually, Jin Yunlai had long seen that Chu Liuyue’s talent was better than Mu Yafeng. If he could pin his hopes on Chu Liuyue, he probably wouldn’t have ended up in this state. It was a pity that he was biased against Chu Liuyue because she didn’t have a bloodline totem, and he thus missed his last and only chance.

Chu Liuyue returned to the previous yard.

The moment she pushed open the door to enter, a demonically handsome face entered her vision.

She was dazed. “Rong Xiu?”
