As they became more and more familiar with each other, he openly called her Yan'er. She called him Book Garden, and his name was White Library.
His fame grew greater and greater, and many people came to pay their respects, wanting him to teach their children. He was too busy to come back for lunch, so Qing Yan made some food and brought it to him. Her skills had reached the mortal realm, and her practice had improved a lot. He could now eat it in big gulps.
When the older children saw the gentle expressions on their teachers' faces, they also teased them. They made it up to tease them.
The White Library was somewhat embarrassed. After a few coughs, she said, "Cough cough …" They... They're just kidding. "
Seeing his uncomfortable expression, Qing Yan was overjoyed.
She was watering the flowers in the room, and she was watering the pot of flowers she had been waiting for. Turning around, he saw the White Library Garden staring at him in a daze. She found it funny and asked, "What did you say?"
He quickly restrained his mind and pretended to do something else. She heard him reciting a poem, "A peach in the sky, shining brilliantly, a son returning home, suitable for the family." Peach Blossom, Peach Blossom, you're so beautiful! Marry me quickly and help me manage the house.
Qing Yan secretly smiled. That day when she was embroidering, a figure suddenly appeared in front of her. It was too white after not seeing each other for so long. He frowned and looked at himself, "Princess is easily found by this humble subject."
Somewhat perturbed, she asked, "Did royal father call you here?"
Taibai nodded. "It's been a few years. It's time for you to calm down. Follow me back, the Celestial Emperor misses you."
Qing Yan thought for a moment, shook her head and said, "I can't go back now, I am really in love with someone, I want to marry him and be his wife."
Taibai's expression was extremely ugly. "Have you gone mad?" That is a mortal, princess. How can you marry an ordinary mortal and become a wife? "What's more …" He looked around at the surroundings and said, "The princess has never lived in such a shabby house in her life, how can she get used to it?"
Qing Yan knew that she couldn't defeat him, so she ignored him. Unexpectedly, he suddenly lost his intuition, and when he woke up, he was already in his own palace.
Hui Qi was still the same as before. When he saw that his master was still calm after returning, he brought her some water to wash her face as if they had not been separated for that long.
Her hands were no longer as smooth and delicate as they were before. There was a thin layer of yellow cocoon on them, as well as traces of burns, needles, and knives.
Hui Qi's heart ached, but he could not show it on his face. After he finished dressing Qing Yan, he said, "The Celestial Emperor wants to see you."
Finally, he returned here. She entered the main hall. The old man on the stage was writing something down. Seeing her enter, that person raised his head. He was her royal father, and he felt that he had aged a bit. Qing Yan felt guilty, she bowed to him earnestly and said: "Greetings to father."
When he saw her obedient appearance, his heart felt light. He took her hand and asked, "How have you been in the mortal realm for the past few years? Look at your hand, I'm afraid you've been wronged?"
When Qing Yan thought about how he still doted on her, she jumped into his embrace with red eyes. After the two of them replied, the Celestial Emperor said in a deep voice, "Now that you're back, I have to tell you something."
Qing Yan looked at her father in surprise. The Celestial Emperor said, "Back then, Zi Yuan refused to marry, so I don't know why it was spread throughout the Heaven Realm. I was just thinking that your reputation was bad, so the eldest son of the Dragon King of the East Sea trusted me and asked me to marry the Fourth Princess. This is without a doubt the greatest honor, I immediately agreed to it. Now that you're back, prepare well and find a good hour to get married. "
Qing Yan didn't expect that after so long, her father would still force her to marry someone when he came back. She was a little angry at this royal father who had always doted on her. She shook her head and said: "What if your daughter isn't willing?"
The Heavenly Emperor scoffed, "You are becoming more and more promising now, disobeying me time and time again. This time it's definitely not going to work. " He shouted to both sides, "Someone, come!" A group of Silver Winged Soldiers appeared behind him. He said, "Send the fourth princess back to the palace and protect her well. If anything happens to her, all of you can raise your heads and meet her."
She did not know that the situation that was waiting for her was like this. She was being placed under house arrest by her father. She sat blankly on the couch. Right now, she missed the mortal world very much. She missed the White Library Garden. He gently said to himself, "Yan'er, Yan'er."
Hui Chi brought a cup of tea to her hand. He replied, "The princess should at least have a drink of water. You being in such a hurry is not a solution."
For the first time, Qing Yan lost her way. She held Hui Qi's hand and said, "Hui Qi, I really like a person. I must marry him. Help me, okay?"
Hui Qi's eyes darkened. "How can I help you?" he asked.
Qing Yan said, "I have to return to the mortal world, I want to marry him. I cannot marry the eldest son of the Dragon King of the East Sea. "
Hui Ku shook his head: "You have the aura of the heaven, even if you go back, you will still be taken away. Princess, don't be silly. Immortals have different paths, you all … You won't get anywhere. "
Tears appeared in Qing Yan's eyes, she shook her head and said, "Hui Qi, I know, you're right. But you haven't loved anyone, have you? When you are truly in love with someone, you will ignore all obstacles, as long as you can get to them. By his side, he had the courage to live on. He felt that the days passed in a happy and hopeful manner. It does not seem like this Heaven Realm where there is nothing at all.
Hui QI held onto her arm and slowly lowered it. His tone was a bit cold. "Speaking of which, the princess should think about it for herself. Rather than running away right now, it's better to think about it."
Qing Yan thought slowly. Suddenly, she thought of someone, someone she hadn't thought of for a long time. Now, only he had the ability to help him. Did he remember himself? Would he help her? Qing Yan thought for a while and finally decided to give it a try.
After all, Hui Qi was still on her side, carefully protecting Qing Yan from the guards. She held up the hem of her skirt and dashed along the road. Finally, she stood outside the departure gate.
Here, another group of people had arrived. The palace maid standing guard at the door looked at the peerlessly beautiful girl and asked, "Where did this lady come from and why did you leave the country?"
She took a deep breath and said, "I came to find you, the gods, so you told him that you were here."
The palace maid put down her broom and went to her master with some doubts.
In the past few years, Ziyuan had become more and more sage-like, and the people within the borders had mostly been sent out, making him become more and more taciturn. Zi Yuan was writing when he saw someone enter. He frowned, almost indiscernible. The palace maid lowered her head and said: "Reporting to God, there is a young lady outside who wishes to seek an audience with you. She said to call … "Rustle." repeated the lady.
Zi Yuan could not react in time. That name seemed to be immersed in the four seas and the eight wastelands, drifting along the surging currents in the wind. He was stunned for a moment before realizing what that name meant. His brush stopped in the air, and a drop of round ink fell on the snow-white paper. His voice trembled a little, "You're saying … "Who?"
The palace maid found it strange that her family seemed to have lost control of themselves. She repeated in a low voice, "It's a girl in red clothes, she looks very pretty. She said her name was Shushu. "
Overgod suddenly put down his forehead pen and ran out.
Qing Yan was anxiously waiting, holding onto the petals on the door. He thought it was the palace maid, so he turned his head back. Unexpectedly, it was the purple-clothed god, whose usually calm and tranquil face was now filled with sorrow and anxiety. She still could not understand him, but she knew that he also wanted to see her.
She smiled and said, "Supervisor, I'm Shushu."
After several years had passed, Zi Yuan finally smiled again. He replied, "Mn, I know, your name is Su Shan." It was what he had said when the two of them met. He still remembered the past few years.
The two of them entered the room and the palace maid stood outside. The atmosphere was rather awkward. She was a bit embarrassed. After all, back then, she was young and ignorant. She had disregarded gods and even had immoral thoughts about untouchable deities. Just thinking about it made her feel that she was outrageous.
He was no longer as ignorant as he was before. Now, he had his own considerations. Zi Yuan's gaze slowly darkened, as he tried to find some words to say, "These past few years... Are you all right? "
Qing Yan was also surprised when he took the initiative to ask her. She nodded after thinking for a while, thinking that he did not know, she added, "I'm fine, what about Zhi Shen?"
Zi Yuan had a bitter smile on his face. Was he good or not? His days were so plain and uneventful, how could they be considered good or bad? He also nodded and said, "I'm fine."
Qing Yan then asked, "We haven't seen each other for the past few years, the people in the yard have all changed, I don't even know them anymore." There was a touch of melancholy on her face.
Seeing her like that, Zi Yuan probed, "You … Why did you suddenly disappear, I … We were all surprised. "
Seeing that he had finally changed the topic, Qing Yan sighed from the bottom of her heart, and said: "This matter, is my fault. Sorry, I lied to you, my name is not Shu, I am Qing Yan, the fourth daughter of the Celestial Emperor. "
Zi Yuan looked at her with astonishment as if he couldn't believe it. He raised his head and looked at her with eyes filled with regret. His face was very pale. He asked, "Are you the Fourth Princess that the Celestial Emperor wants to grant me a marriage?" His voice was hoarse and dry. It was no longer as clear and bright as it was before.
Qing Yan lowered her head, and said embarrassedly: "That's right, royal father said he wanted to marry me to you, I don't know what kind of person you are, so I begged Tai Bai to allow me to come to your palace to meet you. "I was young then, and now that I think about it, it's really too rude."
Zi Yuan saw that she was not looking at him and his expression slowly darkened. The woman continued, "At that time, I was still quite old. Seeing how young the Supreme God was and how handsome he was, I thought that the Supreme God was truly a peerless man. I had thought that if the Supreme God lifted his red cap and saw that it was me, I would be very surprised."
Zi Yuan's throat was somewhat dry. He suddenly didn't know what to say. He was silent for a while, then asked, "And then?"
Qing Yan smiled and said, "I was very happy when I was with Supreme God. Thus, he looked for Taibai, and had royal father pass down the decree to give it to you as soon as possible. When Yan'Er thought about how she could be the new bride of God, she felt really happy. She would even laugh in her dreams. " She paused before continuing, "Later on, Supreme God went to find royal father, not willing to marry Yan'er. Do you remember when you came back and I asked you why? You said that no matter how beautiful she is, it has nothing to do with me. " Qing Yan was obviously smiling, but there were tears in her eyes.
Zi Yuan's tone was a little disappointed, and there was even a trace of excitement in his voice. "Then you left, right? You didn't even tell me that you were Qingyan. If I knew it was you, I wouldn't have … "Why would I …" His words came to an abrupt end. If I knew that it was you, why would I cancel the engagement? Heaven Realm is lonely, the only one with a smile is you.
He thought for a moment, then said, "Do you still want to hear my explanation?" The girl in front of him was obviously still that familiar face, but it didn't look like it at all.
Qing Yan shook her head, and said: "It's been so long, people should always look forward, don't you think so, Supreme Being?" Although she still liked to laugh, she wasn't the type that he liked in the past. Her eyes narrowed into crescent moons, revealing even snow-white teeth. Anyone who saw her would feel happy.
He finally knew what his decision at that time had lost.
