The Queen of Heaven lost her power, the Water God broke the engagement, and the Celestial Ruler abandoned him. Xufeng's status in the Heavenly Court suddenly plummeted.

Even if he was seriously ill and bedridden, the Qiwu Palace was no longer as crowded as it was before.

Run Yu and Kuang Lu happened to pass by here. Run Yu stopped under the plaque of the Qiwu Palace and suddenly asked, "Kuang Lu, look here, doesn't it look like our Xuanji Palace?"

The palace door was wide open, but there was no sign of people.

Kuang Lu looked at his expression and said carefully, "His Highness, should we go in and take a look?"

"No need."

But Run Yu took a few steps and said, "Kuang Lu, you go in and take a look."

"Then His Highness …"

"I'll wait for you here, go and come back quickly."

"Yes."

In a moment, Kuang Lu came back, "Second, His Highness is still asleep, but Princess Shuihe is guarding him."

Run Yu immediately turned and said, "Let's go."

At night, Run Yu and Yanyou were playing chess under a tree. Suddenly, Yanyou threw away the chess piece and said, "I'm done, I'm done. I lose every game, it's boring to play chess with you."

Run Yu didn't argue with him and expressionlessly changed the chessboard to a tea set.

Yanyou lay on the table and asked him, "Run Yu, The Queen of Heaven has been detained in the Pi Suo Prison. Mother and Carp have been avenged. Do you plan to stop?"

Run Yu looked at him and said, "Stop?"

"Oh," Run Yu snorted, "Yanyou, you are familiar with Jin Mi, you must know how much the Water God dotes on him."

Yanyou nodded, "Yes."

"Then do you know why the Water God still insists on canceling the engagement between Jin Mi and Xufeng?"

"Why?"

"The Celestial Ruler insists on not killing Thayao. If Thayao survives until the day when Xufeng ascends to the throne, what do you think will happen?"

Yanyou straightened up and looked at Run Yu in horror.

Run Yu sneered, "You guessed it.

Xufeng will definitely release Thayao and continue to harm the six Realms because she is his mother... because she is his mother.

What will Jin Mi do then?

When parents love their children, they have to plan for the long term. Love is important, but they have to protect their lives first.

The Water God is a good father.. "

"Then, do you want to kill Xufeng?"

"No," Run Yu lowered his eyes and stared at the teacup in his hand, "I want to replace him and ascend to the throne.

“

Yanyou looked at him in disbelief. After a while, he asked, "Is that your true wish?"

"Yanyou," Run Yu suddenly gripped the teacup tightly. The teacup turned into sand and slowly fell from his hand, "My true wish will never come true again."

Yanyou looked at his face and suddenly remembered the yellow dream bead. Inexplicably, he felt a trace of sorrow.

At this time, in Luo Xiang Manor, Luo Lin was stroking Jin Mi's hair with heartache, "Mi 'er, do you blame father for canceling your engagement with Xufeng?"

Jin Mi had just cried and her eyes were a bit dazed. Hearing this, she looked at Luo Lin, "No, father, I know you're doing this for my own good."

Seeing his daughter so sensible, Luo Lin was gratified, "Father knows you like Xufeng, but Thayao hasn't been executed yet. If one day she regains her freedom … Mi 'er, father is really worried. Xufeng wasn't able to protect you last time. Father doesn't dare to hope for the same next time."

Jin Mi choked with sobs as she nodded, "I understand. Father, you're also very sad, right?"

Luo Lin's eyes were filled with tears as he smiled, "If you really like him, you can go see him. Father won't stop you.

If the time is right in the future, father can still betroth you to him. "

Jin Mi hugged Luo Lin's waist and cried, "Father, I don't want to like Xufeng anymore. I only want father to be happy."

"Silly child, when it comes to liking someone, how can you say you don't like them anymore?"

Jin Mi's tears fell like rain as she sobbed, "But, Xufeng doesn't like me."

Luo Lin hurriedly pushed Jin Mi away, "Mi 'er, why do you say that?

Did Xufeng let you down? "

"No, no," Jin Mi desperately shook her head, "But I just feel that way.

I didn't know before, but after returning from the mortal realm, I slowly realized that when he looks at me, it's not like he's looking at me, but at someone else. It's like he already has a mold of someone he likes, and he's thinking of ways to fit me into it. He doesn't want to marry me, but he thinks he should marry me. Recently, he's been depressed, but no matter what I do, I can't make him happy … "

Luo Lin had never seen Jin Mi cry so sadly before. His heart ached as he hugged his daughter, "If that's the case … then it's also good. From now on, our Luo Xiang fu will no longer have anything to do with the Celestial Ruler."

"But Father, I like him, I can't forget him …"

Luo Lin suddenly paused. After a long while, he let out a long sigh.

In the past few thousand years, the immortals of the Heaven Realm never knew that the inconspicuous His Highness was actually so secretive.

In just a short year, the Night God's Hall went from nothing to controlling the Five Gates, controlling the military power of the Eight Directions, overturning the Heaven Realm.

On the other hand, His Highness was first seriously ill in bed, then because he insisted on renewing the marriage agreement, the Celestial Ruler released him of his military power. After that, he was unable to recover from the setback, holed up in Xiwu Palace all day, with no ambition.

Gradually, many immortal officials who originally supported Xufeng switched sides to Run Yu's side.

In Xiwu Palace, Lord Liaoyuan was burning with anxiety.

"His Highness, Purple Star Sovereign has already gone to visit the Night God's Hall today."

Xufeng poured himself another cup of wine: "Go, let them all go, I didn't stop them in the past."

"But His Highness, if you continue like this, I'm afraid that in the future, no one in the hall will be willing to stand on your side!"

"It's fine!"

Xufeng drank the wine in his cup: "Lord Liaoyuan, I'll tell you one thing today, I have never thought about the throne, I'm not willing to take a single step on the path that Mother Goddess has arranged for me.

Since brother wants it, I'll give it to him.

He's been quiet for so many years, it's time for some liveliness. "

"But have you ever thought about yourself?"

"Me?

He won't kill me.

I grew up with him, we're blood brothers, how much harm can he do to me?

And I know his character, he's not that kind of ruthless person. "

But if he wasn't ruthless, how could he rise up so quickly!

Lord Liaoyuan couldn't say this sentence, he could only advise: "But you can't keep running away like this!"

"Running away?"

Xufeng chuckled: "Yes, I'm running away, I've lived for thousands of years, only then did I realize that everyone around me has a different face, Mother Goddess is ruthless, Father Emperor is heartless, Brother Brother … is scheming.

And I'm like a child, childish and naive … "

Lord Liaoyuan saw the loneliness between Xufeng's brows and couldn't bear it, he wanted to persuade Xufeng again, but he heard Xufeng say: "Lord Liaoyuan, you can leave, I'm tired, I want to sleep for a while."

"… Yes."

Xufeng didn't sleep well, he dreamed of the white-robed deity again, standing under a big tree with his back to him.

As if sensing his arrival, the deity turned around from afar to welcome him with a smile. Xufeng couldn't see his face clearly, but he knew how gentle the deity's eyes were when he looked back, as if he was the most precious treasure in the world.

But when he got closer, the deity disappeared without a trace, just like the thousands of times before.
