Tribulation

Chapter 4

Until Xufeng broke out of the furnace, the inside and outside of Xiwu Palace was so calm that there was no ripple.

Run Yu heaved a sigh of relief but was worried about how the situation would develop.

As such, Xufeng and Jin Mi had no idea how to start.

Speaking of which, because of the engagement, it was inconvenient for him and Jin Mi to meet each other. Jin Mi was playful and did not like the many etiquettes of the Heavenly Court. She rarely came.

Xufeng lived in Xiwu Palace for a long time and until now, he had only met her twice when he was young.

Thinking about it carefully, he seemed to be avoiding her intentionally. Every time he heard that Jin Mi was coming, he would find all kinds of reasons to avoid her. He was afraid that he would find another reason to lead the two of them to meet.

Nie??

After his spiritual power ascended, Xufeng wore a rare golden armor that was dazzling. He was as dazzling as the three-legged crow of the Pleiades Sun Official. He walked to Run Yu as if he was presenting a treasure.

"Brother, I'm afraid that my current cultivation is not below yours. In the future, I might need to protect you."

"Yes, I'm afraid that you will find me a burden in the future."

"I will only despise you for treating me like a child."

"As expected, Xufeng has grown up and started to despise you for being restrained. Why don't you let Lord Liaoyuan take care of this Xiwu Palace from now on? I can't ask for more."

Xufeng was stunned and his enthusiasm instantly vanished, "So you are waiting here. I knew that Lord Liaoyuan would not come to my Xiwu Palace for no reason. What about being a protector and setting up the array was just an excuse. So you find me a burden. Xufeng knows, I will not give you any trouble in the future!"

He turned around and left, closing the door of the hall tightly.

Lord Liaoyuan looked at Run Yu, "Hall, this …"

Run Yu could not help but purse his lips tightly. He frowned slightly.

He already knew that Xufeng might not appreciate his good intentions, but he didn't expect him to be so angry.

"Don't bother about him. From today onwards, you will stay in the Xiwu Palace together with Ting Fei Xu. I would like to see how powerful the Fire God Highness is. If you don't leave, can he chase you away with his technique?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a loud noise coming from inside the hall. It seemed that the Eight Trigrams Furnace had unfortunately become the scapegoat and fell to the ground with a loud crash.

Lightly shaking his head and sighing, Run Yu left the Xiwu Palace. He was determined to leave the anxious Phoenix hanging to dry, so as to prevent him from reaching for a yard after taking an inch.

The sky was already bright. Every day at this time, he would go to the Ziyun Square Palace to see Shuli. This was his greatest comfort in this life.

The tree wants to be still, but the wind won't stop. The child wants to be raised, but the parents don't wait. That was the thing he regretted the most.

Because of the delay at Xufeng's place, when Run Yu arrived, his mother had already finished washing up.

Seeing Run Yu, Shuli immediately stood up to welcome him. She opened her mouth and rebuked, "You went to that little crow's place to protect him again, didn't you?

You are on duty every night, and you don't even rest when you're off duty. You don't know how to sympathize with yourself at all. "

Run Yu smiled, "With mother sympathizing with Yu 'er, Yu' er naturally doesn't need to sympathize with himself." Hearing Shuli's rebuke, Run Yu's heart was filled with gentleness.

Ever since he recovered his memory, he privately called Shuli "mother" and not Mother Goddess.

The obsession of his previous life could finally be resolved in this life. Even if he had to go through thousands of dangers in this life, he wouldn't regret it.

Shuli naturally didn't know his thoughts, but she had always granted Run Yu's requests. How could she brush him off such a small matter? Besides, she also felt that calling him "mother" was more intimate. But now, her only son seemed to treat the little crow that came out of nowhere better than her. How could she not be angry?

"You just don't care about yourself!

Last time you were burned?

The fire was injured to that extent, and you still don't realize it?

He obviously did it deliberately, but your father wanted to keep the peace. Even you are protecting that little crow. I really don't know if you and your father have been bewitched by him!

Ever since he came to the Celestial Court, he hasn't come to the Ziyun Square Palace to see me. He doesn't put me in his eyes at all. You and your father are still covering up for him. Both of you treat my words as nothing! "

"Mother –" Run Yu finally found a chance to interrupt her. He pulled his mother to sit in front of the mirror and pointed to the mirror. "Mother usually cherishes her appearance the most. Once you get angry, you won't look good."

Knowing that Run Yu was just joking, Shuli still looked at the mirror worriedly. Then she rolled her eyes at her son and said hatefully, "Don't interrupt. Let me ask you, when are you going to agree to let me take over the position of Crown Prince?"

Run Yu pretended to be wronged and said, "Mother, are you afraid that I can't beat Xufeng? Why are you so anxious?"

"Of course not!

My Yu 'er is good in all aspects, a hundred times better than that little crow – but your father's thoughts are hard to understand. Every day that he doesn't become Crown Prince is always a day that he's not safe. "

Run Yu couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

He had long since asked for nothing else in this life, but since he was born in this position, he had to shoulder a heavy responsibility. He understood it all too well.

But in this life, since he had the opportunity to change the tragedy of the past, he wanted to know what the Xufeng of this life wanted. He didn't have any desires, so he naturally didn't fight or snatch.

It was just that he openly and secretly probed Xufeng's intentions for the throne, but Xufeng always didn't speak in detail. Unexpectedly, he couldn't guess his true intentions.

So three hundred years ago, when the Celestial Ruler wanted to make him Crown Prince, he temporarily resigned. He said that his qualifications were still shallow and he wasn't in a hurry.

But this seemed to make his mother's hostility towards Xufeng deepen. If the two of them became even more hostile, he didn't want to.

"In this mortal world, there's a saying that when you get married, you should get married first and then get married. Only then will you have no worries. It's better to wait until Jin Mi and I get married, then I'll establish the Crown Prince and Crown Princess together. It'll also be a double blessing."

He calculated in his heart that if Jin Mi and Xufeng were inseparable, his family naturally wouldn't need to be established. Then, the position of Crown Prince would be dispensable.

Su Li's thoughts were: "My son's words are reasonable. Double happiness comes at the same time. Both Jinmi's position as Crown Princess will be established and that flower deity's complaints will be stopped."

Seeing that he had temporarily passed, Run Yu secretly let out a sigh of relief. It was finally his turn to voice his wishes, "Speaking of Jin Mi, I haven't seen her for a long time. I wonder how she's doing. Mother, did you see her when you passed by the Flower World when you visited Grandfather?"

Although Shuli was still angry about the past between the Flower Goddess and the Celestial Ruler, she was very satisfied with this daughter-in-law of hers. Needless to say, she was beautiful and had a rare pure temperament. She fell in love with Run Yu at first sight and had the support of the Water Clan and the Flower World behind her. She was the best choice for Crown Princess.

After hearing Run Yu's words, she suddenly had a look of understanding. However, she laughed and ridiculed him, "You still have to beat around the bush with me. Ah, you're born with a seven orifices heart. You can't rest for even a moment.

Alright, I know you want to see her, but we have to take care of each other's faces. Before the wedding, we can't be too intimate. It'll be a joke if we don't show proper etiquette. In two days, I'll invite her over to play. "

"Thank you, mother."

However, Run Yu secretly said 'ashamed' in his heart. If his mother knew that he invited Jin Mi because of Xufeng, she would definitely be furious. However, for the peace of the six realms in this world, he could only lie to his mother this time.

Taking the comb from the fairy's hand, Run Yu asked Shuli to sit down and said, "Let me comb for mother."

Shuli smiled but pushed his hand away, "You've worked hard all night. Quickly go back and rest."
