"Peony, don't be like this. However, Chi-er is not some other woman. Don't you wish for your Charm to be blissful and not live in pain?"

This was also the reason why he had rejected Ji Xi'er in the beginning. There were also peony factors in the process, but once he found out that Ji Xi'er was Zi Xuan, he didn't want to interfere any further.

A thousand years ago, he could already see how Peony felt about Su Li Mei, but she and Zi Xuan were close sisters, and Su Li Mei didn't have her in her heart. She was just an outsider. When the Great War of Gods and Demons broke out, Zi Xuan was forced to jump off the Immortal-Destroying Platform, and Su Li Mei fell into a deep slumber from serious injuries, Peony cried and said in front of him that she was willing to bear all the pain and suffering for Su Li Mei, and she was also willing to die for Zi Xuan.

At that time, he was very touched and comforted that everything would be fine. When Mei comes back, he will definitely be able to see her heart.

However, how could he know that Peony, after returning to the Heavenly Court, would not be willing to endure such a long waiting period of time. Under its loneliness, it took the initiative to invite the Immortal Emperor. Even the cause of the war between the gods and devils had been her.

"What exactly does that mean? Even if Charming doesn't tell me, are you even going to hide this from me? Mo Xue, I have always regarded you as the person I trust the most. Could it be that you do not trust me? " Peony cried so bitterly that it made Shang Moxue feel uncomfortable. Yes, a thousand years ago, Peony did so much for them. How could he possibly hide it from her?

Charming's worry was that if the story about Ji Xi`er being Zixuan were to be leaked, it would be detrimental to her. However, Peony wasn't like other people who could be wary of her, but Peony couldn't be unconvinced because she was accompanying them through all these trials and tribulations.

"Okay, then I'll tell you. But you absolutely can't let Mei know that I'm the one who said it, or else I'm dead for sure."

Thus, he revealed the truth.

"No, that's impossible!" Peony's expression changed. "Mo Xue, if you want to trick me, you better think of a better reason. Zi Xuan has long since lost her soul. How could she still be alive?"

This was the funniest joke in the world.

"Do you think there's a need for me to lie to you at this time? And you should know that I never make fun of you. "

"But this is ridiculous. How do you expect me to believe it? You said that woman is Zi Xuan? Furthermore, she does not even look like she recognizes me. I am a good sister to Zi Xuan, so how could she not recognize me? "

"Before I learned this truth, I was as shocked and disbelieving as you. However, there is such a coincidence in this world. In order to protect this soul, Charm risked his life and only saved Zi Xuan's soul. In order to preserve this soul, he had kept it within his own primordial spirit and needed a large amount of evil spirits to nourish it, so Charm had married many women before, but those women couldn't live past the night of a wedding and their souls were sucked away and turned into a corpse, and so was Yue Xiyan. Unexpectedly, Yue Xiyan actually resurrected from the dead, and since she had a very similar personality to Zi Xuan, this aroused Mei's suspicions.

Such a truth was undoubtedly easy for those who wanted to accept it. However, for those who did not want to believe it, or even those who did not want to believe it, they wanted to ruthlessly reject it in their hearts.

"No, that's impossible. Zi Xuan is clearly dead. This must be a conspiracy."

"Not necessarily. In this world, perhaps anyone can recognize the wrong person, but only Mei doesn't, because he is too familiar with Zi Xuan. Their feelings are deep enough to merge into one another's bone marrow, so Mei definitely cannot be mistaken."

Peony was still unwilling to give up, but she had only just arrived and had not interacted much with Ji Xi'er. Therefore, even if she rebutted him, she would not be able to convince him.

"Alright, since I've already come, I believe that my understanding of Zi Xuan is no less than Mei Li's. If she really is Zi Xuan, I can definitely feel it."

Previously, I suspected that it was the fox race's scheme, but Mei kept insisting that she was Zi Xuan. Now that you've come, it's a good chance to verify it, but now that the demon realm is troubled internally and externally, and it's easy to use their emotions, we definitely can't let those schemes have an opportunity.

Peony nodded its head seriously, but in its heart, it was thinking, Let's not talk about Ji Xi'er not being Zi Xuan, even if it was, she would definitely turn her into an idiot.

Shang Moxue looked at her, and seemed to hesitate for a moment before finally opening his mouth.

"Peony, I know your feelings for Mei, but since Zi Xuan is back, don't be too sad." He was also an infatuated person. Even though he appeared unruly on the surface, there were still ties to him.

Peony tried her best to disguise her expression and put on a nonchalant smile.

"What are you talking about? "If it really is Zi Xuan's return, then I won't even have the time to be overjoyed. Zi Xuan and I are the best sisters, and Mei Ling is Zi Xuan's man. How could I possibly have fallen in love with her?"

Looking at Peony, who seemed to be enjoying the show, Shang Moxue also revealed a knowing smile, "It's for the best if you can think like this."

Ji Xi'er did not return to the bedroom after she left. She wanted to walk around and relax.

Looking at the two maids behind her, she sighed, "You two go back first, I'll go take a stroll in the garden. I'll be back in a while."

Lu Qi and Lu Yi shook their heads in tacit understanding. "Empress, the Sovereign has said that we must follow you wherever you go."

Putting aside her current identity as the empress of the emperors, the love that the emperors had toward her had exceeded the imagination of the masses. Last time, they lost her, causing a conflict with the Wolf King and almost causing an accident, the emperors were extremely worried for her, and would definitely not allow anything to happen to her again.

Ji Xi'er had no choice but to continue walking forward.

Lu Qi and Lu Yi could also see that she was in a bad mood. Although they continued to follow her, they kept a distance from her and respected her wishes.

Ji Shi'er walked to the rattan chair by the lotus pond and sat down. She rested her hands on her cheeks and looked at the sky.

Her mood wasn't too good, but it wasn't because of Peony's attitude. Her life was completely focused on a woman called Zi Xuan, and their topics were all centered around Zi Xuan.

She felt as if she were an outsider, unable to blend in with their conversation.

Could it be that she would only be able to live under the shadow of Zi Xuan for the rest of her life?

He picked up a small stone and threw it into the lotus pond in front of him. "Putong!" However, her emotions didn't spread out like these ripples. Instead, she became even more conflicted.

Su Li found out that she didn't come back, so he looked around for her and finally found her in the back garden. So it turned out that she had directly walked over here after she had left.

Seeing that she was sitting there by herself, and that Lu Qi and Lu Yi were standing far away, watching over her, Su Li knew that she must be in a bad mood.

When Lu Qi and Lu Yi saw that he was about to salute, they were stopped by him and motioned for them to leave. Then he walked alone in the direction of Ji Xi Er.

Hearing footsteps approaching, Ji Xi'er frowned, "Didn't I tell you not to follow me?"

The footsteps did not get too far away. Instead, they got closer.

"You …" She turned around and was about to say something when she saw Su Li Mei walk towards her with a smile on her face. "Why is it you?"

"Otherwise, who do you think it is?"

Ji Xi'er turned her head angrily. "Didn't you say you have important matters to attend to with them?" Why are you out so quickly? "

That was very important indeed, but Su Li Mei didn't want to worry her, so she maintained her nonchalant expression. "It's not that important, Peony is with Mo Xue, so I came to accompany you."

Ji Xi'er stood up, her tone depressed. "It seems like Fairy Peony doesn't like me at all."

She had been looking forward to it for such a long time, but it ended up like this.

"Because she still doesn't know who you are. If she knows that you are …" Remembering that Ji Xi'er did not like others calling her Zi Xuan, he paused for a moment before saying, "When she understands you, she will definitely like you."

"I understand, she only sees Zi Xuan as a good sister and not as me. It's okay, I said it myself, I don't want to live in Zi Xuan's world, I want to be myself, so this is also the price I should pay. If Peony doesn't like me because of Zi Xuan, then there's nothing I can do about it. "

"Don't be sad, I've already said that I won't treat you like anyone else. You're so cute and beautiful, Peony will definitely get along with you well. You've only known each other for the first day."

"That's true. When I was in my previous world, I was very popular. I had many fans, and many people liked me." Under his comforting words, Ji Xi'er's mood improved.

Su Li Mei looked at her and thought about what Peony had said.

Zi Xuan was Mo Yuan's disciple.

Back then, he had always wanted to keep Zi Xuan by his side so that she wouldn't return to the Immortal World. The two of them would never be separated. He pressed on, but she didn't say anything. He could guess that she did it for a single person, someone in the Immortal World that she cared about, but Zi Xuan said that she would actually confess to him, and in the end, she didn't even have the time to tell him.

Actually, Zi Xuan wanted to wait for Mo Yuan to come out of seclusion and explain to him that there was no longer anyone that was concerned with Su Li Mei. After all, after this incident between master and disciple, Mo Yuan was her master and her benefactor.

However, even if Zi Xuan didn't say anything, he didn't know either.

As of now, the usually indifferent Mo Yuan had gone through so much trouble just for Zi Xuan, it was difficult for him not to suspect just what kind of feelings Mo Yuan had for Zi Xuan.
