BANG!

Shen Dashan, who was sitting at the head of the table, had a dark expression on his face. He slammed the table hard and scolded angrily, “1 don’t agree!”

“Father, Mother, I’ve already made up my mind.” Shen Yao had long expected the two elders’ attitudes, but there was no room for change in what he had decided.

“l think you’re bullshi*tting!”

Shen Dashan was so angry that his face flushed with agitation. He pointed at Shen Yao’s nose and scolded, “Do you have a conscience? Who helped you treat your leg illness back then? Who did their best for this family? In the past year, Ah Tao has sacrificed so much for you and the Shen family. Have you forgotten?”

“Father, I’ve made up my mind. There’s no room for negotiation.”

“Shen Yao!” Shen Dashan scolded with a straight face. “If you dare to divorce Ah

Tao, your mother and I will pretend that we never had a son like you!’

When Ji Zhao walked into the central room, she felt the tense atmosphere.

For a moment, she was actually in a daze.

She remembered that in mid-June last year, when she first entered this world, the Shen family seemed to have discussed her departure and stay as well.

“Father, Mother.” Ji Zhao walked into everyone’s line of sight with a smile. “It’s already very late. Why isn’t everyone resting yet?”

“Ah Tao, what happened between you and Third Brother?” Zhao Lanhua rushed forward anxiously. ‘Tell me honestly, did the two of you quarrel?”

“l have something to tell you.”

Shen Yao suddenly looked up at Ji Zhao. His eyes were dark and emotionless.

“Okay.”

‘What’s going on?” Watching the two of them leave one after another, Zhao

Lanhua became even more worried. “Dear, why don’t we follow them and take a look?’

Shen Dashan kept a straight face and said nothing.

“Mother, when Third Brother said that he wanted a divorce just now, wasn’t his expression too serious?” Eldest Brother Shen couldn’t help but mutter, “Has Third Brother gone crazy from studying? How can he say something like a divorce so casually?”

“That’s right. I don’t know if Ah Tao heard it just now. If she heard it, she would definitely be very sad!” Eldest Sister-in-law Shen also felt a little indignant for Ji Zhao.

“If you ask me, Third Brother and Ah Tao must have gotten into an arugment!” Second Sister-in-law Shen quickly said, “Sigh, isn’t it common for husband and wife to bicker? Perhaps the two of them will reconcile tomorrow morning! Father, Mother, Eldest Brother, Eldest Sister-in-law, don’t worry-”

“It’s getting late. Hurry up and go back to your rooms to rest, okay?’ Second Sister-in-law Shen could not help but yawn and say happily.

After returning to the room, Shen Yao immediately walked to the desk and wrote. Soon, he finished writing a divorce letter.

“Actually, there’s no need to go through so much trouble.” Ji Zhao accidentally caught a glimpse of the word ‘divorce’ and smiled. “You probably forgot, right?

Actually, I have a divorce letter that you wrote.”

Hearing this, Shen Yao stopped what he was doing.

‘Yes, I did forget.”

“Shen Yao, do you really want to divorce me?” Ji Zhao looked up at his face, her gentle tone filled with seriousness. “Can I know the reason?”

‘You’re not Ji Ah Tao.” Shen Yao did not dare to look into her eyes and simply avoided her gaze.

“You already knew that, didn’t you? ‘

This lame excuse made Ji Zhao laugh.

“You already know that I’m not the rude and impudent Ji Ah Tao from before. More importantly, I’ve never concealed my identity in front of you.” Ji Zhao continued to ask, “Although I don’t know what Grandmaster Wuzhi told you, I want to tell you that I don’t agree to the divorce.”

Shen Yao lowered his eyes to hide the pain in his eyes and said in a low voice, “I’ve already made up my mind. Even if you don’t agree, it doesn’t matter. After all, we’re only husband and wife in name, not husband and wife in body.”

“Shen Yao, do you still remember what you promised me? You once said that no matter what problems we encounter, we have to support each other and be together for the rest of our lives. Now that the oath is still ringing in your ears, have you forgotten it?’

Shen Yao pursed his lips and remained silent.

“Even if you didn’t say it, I would have guessed it. It’s just that I want to ask you one thing. Do you really think everything you’ve done is for my own good?”

Shen Yao fell silent.

He did not know if such a choice was for her own good, but when that terrifying scene suddenly appeared in his mind, he retreated.

Grandmaster Wuzhi said that his birth characters were too gloomy and that his life would be extremely dangerous.

On the other hand, Ah Tao was different. The original JiAh Tao had already invaded Zhaozhao’s life.

If Ji Zhao could not leave Great Jing earlier and return to her original world, she would die.

More importantly, even if she chose to stay, she would die in his hands in the future.

Because this was fate.

He loved Ah Tao. How could he bear to let her get hurt?

Silence;

The silence was a little strange.

Ji Zhao could even hear their heartbeats.

“Forget it.” Ji Zhao suddenly smiled and chuckled. “Shen Yao, I love you, so I respect all your decisions.”

Ji Zhao thought for a moment and went to the inner room to pack her bags.

“If you still haven’t changed your mind by dawn tomorrow, I’ll leave the Shen residence.” Ji Zhao walked up to him and stopped only a step away.

This night was very torturous for Shen Yao.

He lay on the soft cushion, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep.

How could he really want to divorce Ah Tao?

But if Ah Tao really stayed, would he kill her in the future?

Master Wuzhi said that he had inner demons.

Once the inner demon plundered his rationality, it was very likely that he would do something to hurt the people close to him.

Ji Zhao, who was sleeping on the other side, was not sleepy at all.

She had a dream in the Earth Temple tonight.

That dream was a little bad, but it also made her understand the knot in Shen Yao’s heart.

In her dream, she had an argument with Shen Yao, and Shen Yao actually raised his sword and pierced her chest.

Bright red blood stained her snow-white undergarment.

After Shen Yao killed his wife, he went completely crazy.

Ji Zhao felt that if she was not wrong, Shen Yao must have found out about this. That was why he suddenly distanced himself and even proposed a divorce.

She did not know what was wrong with Grandmaster Wuzhi!

Ji Zhao hoped that Shen Yao could defeat his inner demon this time. Otherwise, something would definitely happen to him in the future.

Lying on the bed, Ji Zhao thought about many things in a daze. It was not until dawn that she barely fell asleep.

As for Shen Yao, he did not sleep the entire night.

At dawn, he hurried towards the Earth Temple. He wanted to ask Master Wuzhi about it.

However, he realized that the master had already left.

Shen Yao, who was frowning, walked back to the Shen family’s courtyard in a low mood.

At that moment, a gray carriage stopped outside the Shen family’s courtyard.

‘Why are you so dejected?” Immortal Crane looked at him in annoyance and asked, “Where’s my good disciple? Is she up yet?”
