Don't Regret
Ye Zichen asked before Taibai Jinxing could respond.
"Do you know who Gu Li is?"
Ye Zichen's two rhetorical questions left Taibai Jinxing stumped. He was certain that these two questions weren't simple at all.
Taibai Jinxing's expression inexplicably became solemn.
"Little friend Ye, what exactly are you trying to say?"
"You once said that you hate demons the most, right?" Ye Zichen looked into Taibai Jinxing's eyes. Taibai Jinxing nodded in response.
The Demon Race was definitely his greatest enemy in this lifetime.
His family had all died at their hands. Even if he had to spend the rest of his life fighting them, he would fight them to the end.
Back then, he'd fallen out with the Jade Emperor precisely because the Jade Emperor hadn't agreed to send troops against the demons. That was why he'd resigned from his position as chief steward of the Heavenly Court and left the Heavenly Court.
"Then why do you still want to give the fragment to Gu Li?"
Taibai Jinxing's eyes instantly widened as if he'd just experienced something terrifying.
If he still didn't understand what Ye Zichen was trying to say, then what difference was there between him and the burly man?
"You said he …."
Ye Zichen nodded. The shock in Taibai Jinxing's eyes grew even more obvious, but he quickly shook his head.
"That's impossible. If he's a demon, he definitely has demonic energy. Even if he wanted to hide it, it was impossible for him to do so in front of me. I don't sense any demonic energy from him at all. He can't be a demon, "said Taibai Jinxing in disbelief.
"When you put it like that, I really don't know what to say."
Ye Zichen shrugged, then leaned back in his chair with a wry smile.
"You should know that I'm the reincarnation of the Yellow Emperor. This Gu Li is the reincarnation of Chiyou. He's a demon. Whether it's the Modern Realm where I live or the Lower Three Realms where you're in the Heavenly Court, he's the one in charge of the demon invasion. I once had a chance to kill him, but in the end, a demon saved me. "
Taibai Jinxing felt like he was listening to a heavenly book. Despite his shock, he still didn't quite believe it.
He glanced at the burly man, who frowned and shook his head.
"No, if he really is a demon, he wouldn't be able to enter the Western Jade Pool."
"Little Friend Ye, don't tell me you deliberately made this up because you want to get the key fragment?" Taibai Jinxing chuckled.
Ye Zichen's expression instantly froze.
The invasion of the Devil Race was something that he didn't want to mention. He only mentioned it here because he didn't want Taibai Jinxing to risk his life for his enemies.
But now, it was all lies and fabrications …
"Forget it. If you don't believe me, I won't bother to explain it to you."
With that, Ye Zichen took out his phone, clicked on his chat with Taibai Jinxing and sent him a red packet.
Ding dong.
Taibai Jinxing's phone rang. He took out his phone and saw the red packet on the screen.
"I've returned the key fragment to you. If you want to give it to Gu Li, then give it to him. I have no right to interfere. I just hope that in the end, you won't regret your actions. "
He received the red envelope and found that it was indeed a fragment of the key to the Tomb of the God of Sin.
This sudden change caused Taibai Jinxing to frown. He did not immediately put away the key fragment. Instead, he held it in his hand.
"Little Friend Ye, you still haven't said who you are …."
"I'm no one. Alright, you've already achieved your goal here. We walk different paths, so let's go. "
Taibai Jinxing coldly pointed at the door, still somewhat hesitant.
"Mo 'er, see our guest out!"
Before long, Zuo Mo appeared in the main hall. She smiled at Taibai Jinxing and gestured for him to leave.
Things had already gotten to this point. Taibai Jinxing couldn't just stick around.
He nodded and smiled at Zuo Mo, then rose to his feet.
"Let's meet again in the future."
"No need!" Ye Zichen didn't even look at him.
Taibai Jinxing smiled sheepishly, but said nothing else. He left the main hall.
"You're getting more and more muddle-headed."
As he watched Taibai Jinxing leave, Ye Zichen narrowed his eyes and snorted.
Taibai Jinxing, who'd just left Upheaval and reclaimed the key fragment, didn't seem particularly happy. His expression darkened as he glanced at the guest hall behind him. He clutched the key fragment in his hand. Ye Zichen's words echoed through his mind.
"Who do you think he is? He's a demon."
"Do you know who I am?"
"I can't be bothered to explain it to you. I'll return the key fragment to you."
"Don't regret it."
Ye Zichen's words buzzed in his ears like a monk chanting sutras.
"Could it be that everything Ye Zichen said was true?" Taibai Jinxing's gaze was dark.
At that moment, a ray of starlight streaked through the sky and landed in front of Taibai Jinxing.
The two of them stopped in their tracks. When they saw who it was, a hint of respect flashed through Taibai Jinxing's eyes.
"Minister of the Left."
The person Taibai referred to as the Minister of the Left wasn't Yin Shang.
He was in his thirties, and his skin was similar to a normal human's. His pitch-black eyes seemed to be branded with a star chart.
He clasped his hands behind his back and looked calmly at Taibai Jinxing, his expression indescribably aloof.
"Taibai Jinxing," said the middle-aged man.
"Minister of the Left, how did you find the time to come here?" asked Taibai Jinxing in astonishment.
"I've come to retrieve the key fragment," said the fake Minister of the Left.
When he heard that the middle-aged man had come for the key fragment, Taibai Jinxing's expression visibly stiffened.
However, he quickly recovered and smiled at the fake Minister of the Left.
"North Pole Emperor Star, didn't Gu Li say he'd come back next month to retrieve it?"
"The situation has changed. While in seclusion, he made a breakthrough in his comprehension of the Milky Way. He vaguely found the location of the God's Mausoleum. He needs the key fragment to confirm whether or not it really is the God Emperor's tomb. "
"His Excellency found the God's Mausoleum?" Taibai Jinxing was astonished.
"Of course. His Excellency is the master of the North Pole Emperor Star's image. The Emperor Star will naturally guide him. What's so strange about finding the God's Mausoleum? We need your key fragment right now. Sky Sovereign Taibai, don't tell me you don't want to give it to me? "
Taibai Jinxing was still somewhat hesitant, but he was more than willing to believe the fake Minister of the Left's words.
The Western Jade Lake was extremely sensitive to demonic energy. If even it hadn't sensed Gu Li's demonic energy, then he naturally didn't.
Besides, he had the Minister of the Left by his side. It was definitely the Emperor Star!
