Chapter 2427 - 2427 Old Friend

2427 Old Friend

Then, she walked toward the door.

“Yue’er—” Shangguan Jing said worriedly, but when he saw her calm expression, he suddenly didn’t know what to say. She should’ve… known long ago. Therefore, her reaction to Mu Qinghe’s words is also… calm and indifferent.

He stopped in his tracks and didn’t follow her. Instead, he turned to look at Mu Qinghe.

Su Li and Xiao Ran both realized that something was wrong and looked at each other.

Outside the door, tears fell from the corners of Lady Shi’er’s eyes.

Then, suddenly, she couldn’t cry. There was only a chill that rose from the bottom of her feet, making her feel cold all over.

Lady Shiyi took a half-step forward and shielded her sister behind.

Ruan Jianfeng looked at them coldly. “Did you all hear what the First Deity said!?”

“You don’t have to remind me.” Lady Shiyi didn’t back down. She was filled with anger and didn’t know how to vent it!

“You—” A fierce look flashed across Ruan Jianfeng’s eyes.

Just as he was about to attack, he suddenly heard a smiling voice behind him. “Fifth Deity.”

He paused and looked back, frowning subconsciously. “Shangguan Yue?”

Did she see that her subordinates caused trouble and couldn’t sit still?

Chu Liuyue seemed to have seen through his thoughts. Her lips curled up slightly, and she smiled casually. “Our Lady Shiyi and Lady Shi’er are still young. They made a mistake on impulse, but it was purely an unintentional mistake. Fifth Deity won’t really argue with them, right?”

Ruan Jianfeng choked on his words.

He looked at the two girls standing together and then at the broken sword that had been thrown to the ground. He fell silent for a moment.

She did look like a gentle and weak girl, but her combat strength had nothing to do with this word…

Since Chu Liuyue had already said so, he couldn’t keep harping on it. However, if he really let it go, he seemed to feel a little embarrassed.

He thought for a moment and sneered. “These people are extremely presumptuous and offended the First Deity. How can we let this go!?”

Chu Liuyue smiled. “They just mistook the First Deity for an old friend from the past, that’s why.”

This sounded a little strange.

Misidentify? An old friend? Who is the First Deity? How stupid are they to mistake him? Moreover, that young lady had clearly called out the First Deity’s name! This doesn’t look like a mistake…

“It’s wrong to call the First Deity by his name!”

“Even if it’s wrong, the First Deity should be the one to judge and punish, right?” At this point, Chu Liuyue half turned around and gazed at the man standing on it from afar. “First Deity, do you want to… kill them on the spot?”

There was a smile on her lips as she asked casually. Her clear eyes were filled with a sharp and cold light.

When they landed on one, it almost made one ache.

Mu Qinghe had one hand behind his back, and his expression was unfathomable.

Everyone waited quietly. The air seemed to freeze at this moment.

After a moment, they finally heard the calm voice. “Never again.”

Ruan Jianfeng opened his mouth but eventually responded respectfully. “Yes.”

The First Deity had always been decisive and ruthless. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been able to stay in this position for more than 10,000 years.

Even though he hadn’t come out of seclusion in recent years, he could still firmly suppress the Second Deity the moment he attacked. Such temperament and boldness were definitely not something ordinary people could compare to.

Ruan Jianfeng thought that the First Deity would punish them severely as a warning, but he didn’t expect that… he would really let it go.

Perhaps… it was because he didn’t want to waste time and energy on such trivial matters? After all, the highlight of the day was still in the Fantasy Divine Hall.

If he argued with the two girls at this time, it would indeed seem insufficient.

At the thought of this, Ruan Jianfeng gradually dispelled his doubts.

Chu Liuyue looked at Lady Shi’er, and the coldness in her eyes faded. “Alright, Lady Shi’er, stop crying.”

Lady Shi’er looked at her in shock. Master… Has she known all along?

“Xiao Ba, take them to wait outside first. I’ll go back when the matter here is over.”

Xiao Ba hurriedly said, “Oh, okay!”

With that, she pulled the two girls to the back, her heart aching.

Probably because of Chu Liuyue, the two of them were very cooperative this time. They quickly retreated behind the crowd.

Jian Fengchi heaved a sigh of relief. Then, he looked at Mu Qinghe in the distance and then at Chu Liuyue.

After a moment, he finally let out a long sigh. “Don’t worry. I’ll take good care of them.”

Chu Liuyue’s lips curved up slightly. “Thank you.”

Jian Fengchi said hesitantly, “You…”

After thinking for a long time, he swallowed the rest of his words.

The current situation surpassed all words. There was really nothing else to say.

He turned and followed Xiao Ba and the others.

Chu Liuyue then went back.

Seeing her return, Su Li held her back with one hand and gently patted her chest with the other. “Little Yue’er, you’re too bold. You actually passed just like that! Fortunately, nothing happened…”

She was really worried that the First Deity wouldn’t let go of this matter and might even vent his anger on Chu Liuyue. After all, even the Second Deity had kneeled outside his door for three whole days, let alone the others.

This was definitely not someone to be trifled with!

A faint light seemed to flash across Chu Liuyue’s eyes.

Her red lips curled up slightly as she tilted her head and laughed. “The First Deity is magnanimous and kind-hearted. What’s there to worry about?”

Su Li’s eyelids twitched violently. These words… They’re clearly a compliment, but why do I sense a bone-chilling coldness from them?

…

Xiao Ba pulled Lady Shiyi and Lady Shi’er to an empty space behind the crowd.

Seeing that Lady Shi’er’s eyes and nose were red from crying, she sighed and took out a handkerchief. Her heart ached as she wiped the tears on the girl’s face. “Alright, alright. Our Lady Shi’er is the most obedient. Stop crying.”

Lady Shi’er shook her head, bit her lip, and said, “…Eighth Sister, I’m not crying anymore.”

From the moment she heard Mu Qinghe’s words just now, she was already so cold that she couldn’t cry.

Lady Shiyi was fine. She didn’t cry, but from her expression… It was obvious that she hadn’t completely escaped the impact of this matter.

Lady Shi’er paused and said, “Eighth Sister, Master said that we got the wrong person…”

“You’ve got it wrong.” Before Xiao Ba could speak, Lady Shiyi suddenly said firmly, “He’s the First Deity, not Brother Qinghe.”

…

As time passed, more cultivators appeared in the Fantasy Divine Hall.

Soon, a familiar figure came into view.

Seeing the person, Chu Liuyue raised her eyebrows slightly and took the initiative to greet him. “Head of the Nan family, long time no see. How have you been?”

Nan Jinshu, who wanted to pretend not to see her and pass by quietly, suddenly stiffened.

He slowly looked up and smiled awkwardly.
