“I—”
“That music score belongs to the Fantasy Divine Hall. The Divine Master and the deities haven’t done anything yet. What can you do?” Jun Jiuqing’s voice was very cold.
Nan Jinshu was taken aback and hurriedly said, “It’s not that I want to do anything, but I just feel curious. Previously, First Deity sent two deities to God-Killing Tumulus to find the third music score, but they don’t seem to have come back yet…”
“You’re talking about the Ninth Deity and the Tenth Deity?” interrupted Jun Jiuqing as he curled his lips up in a seemingly smiling manner. “Those two people have long come back. Didn’t you know?”
“What!?” Nan Jinshu’s entire person was dazed for a moment.
He really did not know. Ever since he dealt hands with Chu Liuyue and Mu Hongyu and returned to the Fantasy Divine Hall disheveled, he hadn’t left his house. That was because the incident that day was too humiliating.
Helpless, he could only choose to wait for the matter to appease. This was also why he wasn’t sure of what happened outside, including the two deities returning.
“Not only did they come back, but they’re even trapped in the Fantasy Divine Sea and are receiving punishment,” said Jun Jiuqing nonchalantly.
Nan Jinshu was stunned and could not recover his senses for a long time. “H-how is this possible…”
Those two deities went to find the third music score on orders. Even if they couldn’t find it, they should not be punished, right?
“T-then, do you know why they were punished?” Jun Jiuqing smiled coldly. “If you want to know, you can ask yourself.”
Then, he ignored Nan Jinshu and lifted his leg to leave.
“This—” Nan Jinshu originally wanted to pull him back and ask him a few more things, but he did not dare.
Jun Jiuqing always gave people the feeling that he could not be messed with…
Seeing that he could not get anything out of Jun Jiuqing, Nan Jinshu felt conflicted for a moment and could only leave.
…
Qiang Wanzhou was wiping the table in the room. His sleeves were rolled up, revealing his white and thin wrist, as he held a cloth.
His expression was focused and serious, as if this was a very important matter.
When Cen Yi came in, this was the scene he saw.
But the moment he walked in, Qiang Wanzhou immediately detected it. He stopped his movements and turned around to look.
Qiang Wanzhou’s lips moved as if he wanted to say something, but he still held it in. However, his expression toward Cen Yi had a few more hints of respect.
Cen Yi’s gaze swept across that table.
It was spotless. It was unknown how many times Qiang Wanzhaou had wiped it.
In actual fact, ever since Chu Liuyue went to the Star Path and directly entered the Fantasy Divine Hall, Qiang Wanzhou had been doing this. It was as if it stemmed from anxiety.
When he was nervous or flustered, he would usually do this.
“Master has already entered the Fantasy Divine Hall. You don’t have to clean anymore,” said Cen Yi.
Qiang Wanzhou’s lips pressed against each other lightly. “Yes.”
…
Chu Liuyue did not stay in the Fantasy Divine Hall for too long.
After talking to Su Li, she planned to return first. After all, Wu Yao and the rest were still waiting outside.
The people who had been allowed to enter the Fantasy Divine Hall could enter and leave freely. Hence, even if she wanted to leave now, she would not be stopped.
But the moment she walked out, she saw a familiar person—Shu Jing.
At this point, Shu Jing was standing outside with a few hints of vengeance and indignance in her eyes.
“Hey, Eighth Deity, why are you here?”
Probably not expecting Chu Liuyue to suddenly come out, guilt quickly flashed across Shu Jing’s face.
When she heard that Chu Liuyue had really finished the Star Path and successfully entered the Fantasy Divine Hall, Shu Jing was overwhelmed and could not calm down for a long time. After hesitating for a long time, she still came over.
Originally, she wanted to see exactly what was going on. Who knew Chu Liuyue would suddenly come out, and the two parties would bump into each other?
Shu Jing controlled her facial expressions with much difficulty. “Nothing much. I was just curious about how you entered.”
Chu Liuyue’s lips curled up slightly. “I naturally walked in openly.”
Shu Jing tightened her fists unwittingly. “I really underestimated you beforehand.”
“Thank you for the compliment, Eighth Deity.” Chu Liuyue smiled brightly. “I love giving surprises the most.”
“You… really have a sharp tongue!” Shu Jing took a deep breath in. “It’s not too late to flaunt when you break through to become a deity!”
I don’t believe Chu Liuyue can really do it!
“Eighth Deity, you’ve misunderstood. When did I think of flaunting in front of you? Besides, whatever I said was the truth. Could it be that people like me can’t even talk in the Fantasy Divine Hall? Or, Eighth Deity, do you feel that these words are too harsh?”
Chu Liuyue was really very innocent. She had never willingly offended this Eighth Deity, but it was a pity that the other party seemed to dislike her and wanted to put her in a difficult spot.
What for?
Shu Jing was so angry that she laughed. “You can say whatever you want; I can’t argue against you. But now that you’ve already entered the Fantasy Divine Hall, let me remind you not to be too arrogant. If not, you won’t even know how you died! And your subordinates, they all better obey the rules! This Fantasy Divine Palace is not somewhere you can mess around!”
With that, she left angrily.
Chu Liuyue was left in confusion. Why did this Shu Jing suddenly throw such a big temper? And it seems… like it isn’t targeted at me alone?
Chu Liuyue glanced thoughtfully at her before walking toward the door.
…
When she reached the door, Chu Liuyue pushed it open and exited.
Different from the situation when she entered, she did not trigger the shocking suppression. Everything was very calm.
Butafter Chu Liuyue walked out, she unexpectedly discovered that the crowd on both sides of the Star Path did not leave. The moment she walked out, countless pairs of eyes instantly landed on her.
Chu Liuyue was dazed for a moment. When she looked over, she understood why the crowd was still gathered around.
Xiao Ran was solving the last Xuan formation on the Star Path!
In front of him, there was also the silver ring quietly floating around like it had for Chu Liuyue. At this point, a portion of the pattern was already created within the silver ring.
One could tell that Xiao Ran was much slower than Chu Liuyue, and he wasn’t as smooth as her. However, his overall direction was correct.
If nothing went wrong later on, he could completely set it up sooner or later! At that time, he could also enter the Fantasy Divine Hall through the Star Path!
Xiao Ran’s attention was completely on the Xuan formation before him, causing him not to realize that Chu Liuyue had come out.
However, the spectating crowd all looked over with varying expressions. Of course, their attitudes and expressions had changed quite a bit from before.
“Master!” Xiao Ba smiled and waved toward her.
Chu Liuyue walked toward the few of them.
