Ye Zhen listened to Ye Muxin's barrage of questions. She shook her head with a smile and said helplessly, "You're asking so many questions at once. How am I supposed to answer?"
"It's okay. I have plenty of time. You can take your time." Ye Muxin said.
"I do have a Demon Core on me, and I've already refined it. But I'm not a Flame Demon King. Ye Jingshu is the reincarnation of Shi Ying." Ye Zhen didn't mention that Shi Ying had already woken up. "I've been to the Flame Region. Actually, it's not like what everyone has heard. The Flame Demons … aren't as cruel and terrifying as you think. If you have the chance to go to the Flame Region, you'll know what I'm talking about."
Ye Muxin laughed. "Do you think I don't know what kind of person you are? Since you say the Flame Demons aren't scary, then they definitely aren't. "
"Actually … there are some scary ones. Just like our XuanTian Continent, there are also cruel, merciless, and evil people." Ye Zhen said in a low voice. "I lived in the Flame Region for a few days and saw their children. They really are … pitiful."
"Ah Zhen, you aren't really a Flame Demon King, are you?" Ye Muxin asked softly.
Ye Zhen laughed lightly. "If I really am, would you be afraid?"
"I might be afraid of others, but if it's you … then I'm not afraid at all." Ye Muxin patted Ye Zhen's shoulder. "Actually, I hope it's you. When the time comes, you can invite me to the Flame Region to play. Also, if it's you, then perhaps the two sides won't have to fight."
"There aren't many people who think like you. How many people in the XuanTian Continent want to exterminate the Flame Demons?" Ye Zhen sighed softly. She truly hoped that there wouldn't be a war. After all, if the Flame Region and the XuanTian Continent went to war, the ones who would suffer the most would be the innocent civilians.
Ye Muxin coughed slightly and moved her body as if she was sitting on pins and needles. "Actually, I came to Tianhao City this time because … grandfather asked me to come."
"Hm?" This was what Ye Zhen had expected. Without the approval of the elders of the Ye family, Ye Muxin wouldn't have appeared here.
"Are you still willing to return to the Ye family?" Ye Muxin asked tentatively.
Ye Zhen did not answer, but looked at her with a smile.
"Actually, I don't need to ask. I already know your answer. If it were me, I wouldn't want to go back either. The Ye family isn't a good place to be. Anyways, I wasn't planning on persuading you. I was just putting on a show for Grandfather. You're fine here. I heard that you're going to marry City Lord Mo. In the future, you'll be the official wife of the City Lord. No one in the entire Xuantian Continent will dare to bully you." Ye Muxin said with a smile.
"I remember that your grandfather has cut off all relations with me and asked me to return to the Ye family. Is he not afraid that the Ye family will be implicated by me?" Ye Zhen asked lightly.
Ye Muxin sneered, "Don't be fooled by how glorious the Ye family seems. It's actually been a long time ago. Ever since the true identities of Ye Jingshu and the Supreme Grand Exalt were made public, the king has completely given the Ye family the cold shoulder. Grandfather probably wants to invite you back because he wants to use you to curry favor with the king. I still don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing for you. No, it's definitely not a good thing."
"Are you here to persuade me or not?" Ye Zhen laughed.
"Of course I am. I'm advising you not to return to the Ye family." Ye Muxin said with a smile. She was not worried at all that Ye Boshu would blame her when she returned.
Ye Zhen glanced at her with a smile, "Oh right, how's the Great Sage Sect doing?"
"Not good." Ye Muxin sighed, "Ever since the Supreme Grand Exalt's identity as the Great Priest of the Flame Region was revealed, the Great Sage Sect has been ostracized by the other sects. Even the king of the Zhou Nation has punished us. The Great Sage Sect actually wants to order the sects of the entire continent to completely erase the Great Sage Sect from existence. The Sect Master has no choice but to activate the Mountain Sealing Barrier and call the disciples with more prominent backgrounds back home to avoid being implicated. The elders are all discussing countermeasures, but they haven't come up with anything yet."
"Some disciples feel that there's no future in the Great Sage Sect, so they want to leave." Ye Zhen's voice was slightly cold. She had been in the Great Sage Sect for more than a year. How could she not know the snobbish mentality of some disciples?
"No matter what, as long as the Supreme Grand Exalt's identity is not explained, the Great Sage Sect will find it hard to establish itself in the Xuantian Continent." Ye Muxin sighed, "Is the Supreme Grand Exalt really the Great Priest?"
Ye Zhen said, "So what if the Supreme Grand Exalt is the Great Priest of the Flame Region? After all these years, if it wasn't for him, would the Great Sage Sect still be standing? He would have been eaten by the Great Sage Sect long ago. He has never done anything evil. What right do the people of the Xuantian Continent have to punish him? "
"It's not like you don't know that those people are all sanctimonious, but in reality they are all despicable people. Just like how they treated you before." Ye Muxin snorted.
"They bully the kind and fear the evil. Some of them are even more terrifying than the Flame Demons." Ye Zhen said coldly, "Alright, don't mention them. You can stay here for a few days."
Ye Muxin's eyes lit up, "Can I?"
"Why not? Don't tell me you don't want to drink my wedding wine before leaving? "Ye Zhen raised her eyebrows.
"Yes! Of course I want to! " Ye Muxin hugged Ye Zhen's shoulders, "I can stay as long as I want. You don't need to be polite and keep me. I don't want to go back to the Ye family."
Ye Zhen laughed, "You're so afraid to go back. Could it be that there are demons and ghosts waiting for you in the Ye family?"
"Scarier than demons and ghosts." Ye Muxin cried out bitterly, "My mother wants me to marry someone."
"Haha." Ye Zhen couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Ye Muxin stayed in the city gate tower. However, Emperor Mo didn't like outsiders living near his courtyard, so Ye Zhen had to call the chief steward of the city gate tower over.
"Uncle Fen Yi, please arrange a guest room for Muxin." Ye Zhen said to the chief steward, who always had a solemn expression on his face.
"Yes, Madam." Fen Yi cupped his hands in greeting, then said to Ye Muxin, "Miss Ye, please follow this old man."
Ye Zhen said, "Go and rest first. I'll come find you tomorrow."
"Alright." Ye Muxin smiled and nodded. The city gate tower was the most mysterious place in the Xuantian Continent. She felt very honored to be able to stay here.
Not long after Ye Muxin left, Emperor Mo returned.
"I was just going to look for you." Ye Zhen saw him appear at the door, walked over with a smile, and took the initiative to hook his arm. "I went to see Mingxi today. Sage An Ge seems to have taught me well."
"Who came to see you?" Emperor Mo frowned unhappily when he sensed the presence of an outsider.
"Ye Muxin. She used to take good care of me in the Holy Sect." Ye Zhen said, "Ye Boshu wanted her to persuade me to return to the Ye family."
A gloomy look flashed in Emperor Mo's eyes. "Drive her away."
"What for? Ye Muxin is different from the rest of the Ye family." Ye Zhen said with a smile, "I've left her to accompany me for a few days. When the time comes, I can't be without a family member."
"As long as you like it." Emperor Mo looked down at her.
