The last ray of twilight disappeared, and the capital of Qi Kingdom was covered by the darkness of night. The light in the white Daoist Temple also gradually faded away. The devout worshippers woke up from their awe and intoxicated state and stared blankly at the window. No one knew what they were thinking. The lights of thousands of households gradually lit up.
The door opened and Ye Hongyu walked out. Her beautiful face was still cold and emotionless, but she could not hide the tiredness in her eyes.
Ning Que noticed her tiredness and even haggard, but he did not say anything. He walked into the room and sat by the bed. He held Sangsang's slender wrist and felt it silently for a moment.
After confirming that Sangsang's condition had improved, he finally heaved a sigh of relief. He tucked her in and put a new wet towel on her forehead. Then he walked out of the room.
He looked at Ye Hongyu who was leaning against the stone wall and said sincerely, "Thank you for your hard work."
Ye Hongyu noticed that he did not thank her. She raised her eyebrows and asked, "Aren't you going to thank me?"
Ning Que said, "It was at the cost of my life."
Ye Hongyu said, "Your prescription and the herbs in the Taoist temple seem to have worked. The poison in her body has been mostly neutralized, but I can only suppress the cold aura for now. = "
After a short pause, she frowned slightly and continued, "That night by the Yanming Lake, I knew that the Divine Light in the Lady of Light's body was much purer and more abundant than mine. Even she could not get rid of the cold aura in her body, so naturally I could not either. Speaking of which, where did the cold aura come from?"
Ning Que told her the story of how he picked up Sangsang from a pile of corpses by the roadside.
Ye Hongyu did not get rid of her doubts. Instead, she frowned even more and said, "Corpses and decaying water are indeed the most Yin and filthy things in the world. The cold rain from the sky does great harm to the baby girl's body. But how can this acquired coldness compete with the Haotian Divine Light in the Lady of Light's body?"
Ning Que looked at her expectantly and asked, "Do you have any ideas?"
Ye Hongyu looked into his eyes and asked, "Does the Headmaster have any ideas?"
Ning Que shook his head.
Ye Hongyu said expressionlessly, "Even the Headmaster of the Academy can't do anything about the cold aura in her body. How dare you ask me if there's any way? Even though you said it out of desperation, you still look like an idiot."
Ning Que's expression became a little gloomy and he forced a bitter smile.
Looking at his expression and thinking of how Ning Que had hooked his fingers with her without hesitation before she used the Divine Skill on Sangsang, Ye Hongyu felt for the first time that this shameless disciple of the Academy was not completely useless.
Thinking of this, she looked at Ning Que and said with a gentle expression, "Since the Headmaster said that the Buddhism Sect has a way to cure Sangsang's illness, then your trip to the Lanke Temple will be fruitful."
Ning Que smiled and asked, "Are you comforting me?"
Ye Hongyu said, "You can understand it this way."
Ning Que said, "What I can't understand is that you are the one who comforts me."
Because he was laughing heartily, the dimples on his cheeks looked especially bright.
Ye Hongyu looked at his face and said, "You are indeed a little cute, but your personality is really disgusting."
The priests and knights of the Kingdom of Qi's Taoist Temple and the Judicial Department were all blocked outside by the tightly shut door. At this time, the Taoist Temple was quiet and empty. The lights in the stone corridor were naturally not lit. The stars in the capital that leaked in through the stone window facing the street were not very bright, but they were not dark either.
Ning Que looked at the face of the girl from Haotian Taoism in the dim light. He looked at her tired and haggard eyes. He looked at her clear eyebrows, bright eyes, and tender lips. He suddenly felt that this was the most beautiful and charming Ye Hongyu he had ever seen. His right hand that was hanging by his leg trembled slightly.
With a slight tremble, his fingertips touched something hard. He raised the teacup in his hand and handed it to her.
Ye Hongyu took the teacup and drank the cold tea that was still thick.
It was very quiet in the corridor. The disciples of the back of the mountain of the Academy and the Great Divine Priest of Judgment of the West-Hill Divine Palace leaned against the cool stone wall in silence. They looked at the faint light from the window and did not speak for a long time.
After a long time, Ning Que suddenly said, "You said it before today, at the Yanming Lake and in the Wilderness, that the Academy and your Haotian Taoism are natural enemies. One day, there will be a magnificent war, and that day is coming faster and faster. Have you ever thought about what we should do if we really meet on the battlefield one day?"
Ye Hongyu held the teacup and looked up at him. Her eyes were full of mockery. She said, "We are all people without friends, so why do we have to pretend to be friends and talk about the past and the future? You want to make our relationship closer just to save your life in the future. This is a little shameless. "
Ning Que did not explain and said, "I just want to know what you will do if that day really comes."
Ye Hongyu said without hesitation, "I have said that you are the most dangerous enemy to Taoism. So if the day of war really comes, of course I will kill you at all costs."
Ning Que took the teacup from her hand and brought it to his lips. He said thoughtfully, "That makes sense. For someone as dangerous as you, I should also try my best to kill you first."
After saying this, he poured the last few drops of tea into his mouth and drank it. It was extremely bitter.
Ye Hongyu was a little annoyed to see him drink the remaining tea from her teacup. But when she saw him frown because of the bitterness after drinking the remaining tea, she suddenly did not want to be angry anymore.
"I will not show mercy."
Ye Hongyu looked at the night view of the capital outside the stone window and said indifferently. But it was unknown whether she was saying this to Ning Que, herself, or her loyal subordinates outside the temple.
Ning Que thought about the scenery and people in Chang 'an, the countryside scenery he saw on his way south, and the farmers and soldiers who kept watering the fertile fields. He said, "I feel the same."
The dim stone corridor fell into silence once again.
It was still Ning Que who broke the silence.
He looked at Ye Hongyu and said with a smile, "Speaking of which, I have yet to congratulate you."
Ye Hongyu was slightly startled and said, "Congratulate me for what?"
Ning Que saw that she did not seem to be faking it and knew that she would never pretend to be mature when it came to the ways of the world. He could not help but sigh silently. He thought that she was still the Tao Addict who could not be disturbed by external things and had a pure Taoist Heart.
"Sitting on the Seat of Heavenly Black Jade and becoming the Great Divine Priest of Judgment. Isn't that something worth celebrating? Chen Pipi said that there were only a few who became the Great Divine Priest at your age in the past thousand years. "
Ye Hongyu finally knew that he was congratulating her. She said calmly, "Ever since I started cultivating, I knew that I would definitely become the Great Divine Priest of West-Hill. From the first day I entered the Judicial Department, I knew that I would sit on the Seat of Heavenly Black Jade one day. So it is only natural. Why should I celebrate?"
Ning Que sighed and said, "Only I understand you. Otherwise, if anyone in the world heard what you said, they would think that your narcissism has already surpassed that of my Second Brother. You are almost crazy with narcissism."
Ye Hongyu heard him comparing her to Jun Mo and smiled slightly. She was very satisfied.
Ning Que turned to look at her face and looked into the deepest part of her bright eyes. He recalled the indescribable brilliance in her eyes during the day and said with emotion, "Among the younger generation of cultivators, as long as they are talented and narcissistic, they have been chasing after your footsteps all these years. However, they could never catch up with you. You have always been at the forefront and even pulled further and further behind. So I really admire you."
Ye Hongyu looked into his eyes and felt the brilliance hidden in his black pupils. She said, "You have only cultivated for a few years, but you have become a Grand Cultivator from an ordinary person who knows nothing about Taoism. If you want to talk about admiration, among the younger generation, you are the only one that I admire and am even wary of."
Ning Que smiled and said, "Praise and self-praise are always pleasing things. However, there is no audience at this time. It is rare for us to flatter each other, so it is a pity that we are walking in the dark."
Ye Hongyu said, "But since you congratulate me, I should congratulate you too."
Ning Que said, "It is not a happy thing that I have entered the Knowing Destiny State."
There was a lot hidden in his words, which included the fragments in the depths of his consciousness, Master Lotus's generous inheritance, the terrifying and bloody Devil's Doctrine skills, and the fire in the Red Lotus Temple.
Even Long Qing did not fully understand what had happened to him at that time.
Ye Hongyu naturally did not know either. She looked at him in confusion.
Ning Que casually said, "You have entered the Knowing Destiny State long ago. Shanshan has also entered it. Senior Brother Chen Pipi entered it many years ago. In front of you, I have no right to be proud."
Ye Hongyu said, "I have said many times that we are different from ordinary cultivators. The Knowing Destiny State is more important to us, because the state is a means of fighting for us."
Ning Que said, "I always feel that you have repeated this statement countless times. Are you telling the world that we are the same person, like two pearls in the bottom of the sea, a match made in heaven?"
"It has always been so. I dared to challenge the former Divine Priest of Judgment when I had just entered the Knowing Destiny State, even though he had not recovered from the injury left by the Divine Priest of Light at that time. You could kill Xiahou before you entered the Knowing Destiny State. Once you entered the Knowing Destiny State, even Long Qing, who had many adventures, was no match for you."
She said proudly, "Not many cultivators are like us. Long Qing is not, the Calligraphy Addict is not, and Chen Pipi is not, even though he has been called a rare genius of Haotian Taoism since he was young."
Ning Que did not expect that Ye Hongyu would completely ignore his deliberate teasing. He could not help but feel speechless. When he heard her mention Chen Pipi, he suddenly showed a disapproving expression.
"There are many kinds of geniuses. The talents of cultivation geniuses should be reflected in cultivation, not just in fighting or killing like you and me. I have never seen such a genius like Senior Brother Twelve in my life, but he doesn't know it at all. When it comes to the purity of his Taoist Heart, he is much better than you and Long Qing."
He looked at Ye Hongyu and warned, "Senior Brother seems to be not good at fighting, but that is only because he does not like fighting. If he is forced to fight one day, you will probably understand how scary he is."
Hearing his comments about Chen Pipi, Ye Hongyu frowned slightly. She thought of the fair and chubby boy in the Taoist temple when she was young. He was a guy who liked to peek at female Taoist priests when they were bathing when he was bored. He was a coward who screamed like a girl when she punched him and did not dare to resist. She could not imagine how terrifying he was.
Ning Que looked at her thoughtful expression and suddenly asked, "How did you become the Great Divine Priest of Judgment? I only heard some rumors in Chang 'an that you killed the former Great Divine Priest? "
Ye Hongyu said in a very normal tone, "Unlike the inheritance of the Divine Priest of Light, the Great Divine Priest of Judgment has never appointed a successor. There is no definite successor, so there is no process of returning to the throne. For thousands of years, the Seat of Heavenly Black Jade has been changing hands in bloody battles. There is no other way to become the Great Divine Priest of Judgment. I killed the previous Great Divine Priest, so naturally I inherited his position."
Ning Que looked slightly serious and asked, "If there are other powerhouses on the Peach Mountain of West-Hill who want to become the Great Divine Priest of Judgment, what they need to do is to kill you?"
Ye Hongyu said indifferently, "Yes, but it seems that no one dares to kill me for now."
Ning Que looked at her and said, "But I know someone who wants to kill you and dares to."
Ye Hongyu knew who he was talking about and said, "He can't kill me."
Ning Que said, "But you have to admit that he has been in the Divine Hall of Judgment for so many years and has so many loyal subordinates. He will definitely not give up the chance to sit on the Seat of Heavenly Black Jade."
Ye Hongyu knew that the conversation had entered the main topic. After a moment of silence, she said, "Long Qing is a dog. Although he is different from Luo Kedi, he is not the Hierarch's dog, nor is he my dog. Although he has many Lucky Chances that even I find unbelievable, he is still a dog."
Ning Que looked into her eyes and said, "You said that a dog will not rebel against its owner. But have you ever thought that a mad dog does not know who its owner is? It will become crazy and dangerous."
Ye Hongyu looked back at him quietly and said, "It seems that he left a deep impression on you in the Red Lotus Temple yesterday."
Ning Que thought of the cold autumn rain, the blood-stained grass, the fire in the ruined temple, the empty arrow box, and the black peach blossoms. After a long silence, he said, "Long Qing made me feel fear yesterday."
Ye Hongyu said, "But you still beat him."
Ning Que said, "But he did not die. I don't know if I can beat him next time."
Ye Hongyu said, "What are you trying to say?"
"Don't tell me that the West-Hill Divine Palace does not know how terrifying he is now. If we let him live, he will become stronger and crazier day by day. In this world, the two people he wants to kill the most are you and me. So we should kill him while he is not strong enough."
Ning Que stared into her eyes and said, "I beg you to kill him."
