Both Great Emperor Chao Feng and Bi 'an were descendants of the Dragon God, even though they were both from the God Race.
Although they were both from the God Realm, their statuses meant they had far too many matters to attend to. As a result, they could only communicate through divine sense transmissions. They hadn't seen each other in a hundred years.
Taking advantage of their trip to the Sea of Innocence, the two brothers, who hadn't seen each other in a long time, went to Bi 'an's room to drink.
After bidding them farewell, Xuan Ji brought Ye Rong to a place surrounded by flowerbeds.
The air was fragrant, and the scenery was pleasant.
Nearly an hour passed, but Ye Rong didn't say a single word to Xuan Ji. It looked like she was admiring the flowers, but little did she know, she was using her divine sense to keep track of Ye Zichen's movements.
"That's enough. You don't trust your son at all, do you?"
She bent down and sniffed the flowers, then plucked a glowing yellow four-leafed flower, walked up to Ye Rong, and placed it on her head.
"I have good taste. It suits you."
Only then did Ye Rong look away and meet Xuan Ji's gaze.
When she saw her smile, Ye Rong tapped the air in front of her and created a curtain of water. She tilted her head and looked at the flower. Then, a smile flashed across her face, and she dispersed the curtain of water.
"You don't have to coax me like that. I'm fine."
"I know you're fine too. I just thought this flower suited you, so I put it on for you." Xuan Ji chuckled.
"I know what you're trying to say."
As Ye Rong's fingers brushed past the flowers in the flowerbed, several Flower Fairies flew out from the flowerbed. They flapped their small and cute wings and landed on Ye Rong's shoulder without fear.
Their bright eyes fluttered, and Ye Rong looked at them kindly.
She nudged her shoulders, and the fairies flew to the center of the garden and began to dance. Ye Rong smiled and watched for a moment, then walked to the pavilion and sat down.
"Perhaps my words were a bit too harsh, and I didn't leave that child with any hope. Xue Yang and Zhao Qianling must hate me. "
"How could that be?" Hearing Ye Rong's sigh, Xuan Ji shook her head. "They are all parents, they can understand your actions."
"That's right, they're parents," sighed Ye Rong.
A light breeze blew.
In the pavilion, Ye Rong and Xuan Ji were surrounded by the fragrance of the flowers in the garden. The refreshing fragrance made one smile involuntarily with happiness.
The elves in the flowerbed seemed to have sensed Ye Rong's dispirited mood. They lined up in front of her and chattered in an incomprehensible language. However, from their emotions, he could feel the kindness they were conveying.
"Don't frown so much. Look at these fairies. They're trying to make you laugh," said Xuan Ji softly.
Ye Rong stretched out her hand and gently stroked the head of the Flower Fairy before her, forcing a smile onto her face.
"The breach cut off the girl's hope of survival. In fact, I was also very conflicted. It was obvious that she was about the same age as Zichen. If I could save her, I would do my best. However, what she wants is the Emperor Star's radiance. "
"I don't have a very deep understanding of the stars, but from what you've said, I can tell that the starlight of the Emperor Star is different from other starlights. Can you explain it to me? Just treat it as a lesson."
"Of course it's different." Ye Rong nodded. "As you know, the North Star is the leader of the stars in the Milky Way. It is the emperor of the stars."
Xuan Ji nodded. She naturally knew this. Otherwise, the North Star wouldn't be called the Emperor Star.
"There are eighty-eight constellations in the sky, and countless stars. Whether it's the Myriad Stars or the King Stars, they're all part of the Emperor Star's blessing. Their starlight is used up, but the Emperor Star's blessing restores it. Only the Emperor Star …. "
"It can't be restored?" asked Xuan Ji.
Ye Rong nodded, then gently shook her head. "The Emperor Star's starlight is eternal. Once it's used up, it'll show flaws.
I'm not sure if it'll regenerate itself, but even if it does, I don't know how long it'll take. The era is about to end, and everyone is waiting for the Emperor Star to transcend. Will the loss of its starlight affect its transcendence?
We don't know. "
"We also don't know how much starlight Xue Mo needs. If the loss of starlight leads to the end of the era, who'll bear the consequences? Zichen? What will he do if he bears that kind of pressure? Since that's the case, why don't I play the bad guy and refuse everything? "
"So that's what you're worried about." Xuan Ji arched her brows.
She'd thought Ye Rong was worried about directly affecting Ye Zichen. She'd never guessed she'd overthink things. She was worried about whether the Master of the Stars could transcend, and whether the end of the era would pass peacefully.
At this point, even if Xuan Ji wanted to say something to dissuade her, she could only swallow her words.
Compared to the end of the era, Xue Mo's death truly was insignificant.
It was just that she was worried about how much pressure Ye Rong, who'd shouldered all of this, was feeling. She was also worried about how Ye Zichen would blame himself if he'd watched Xue Mo die without knowing anything.
Would the Sea of Innocence, the Jade Lake, and the other alliances bear grudges because of this?
"I support you."
Xuan Ji smiled and took Ye Rong's hand. Since they were close friends, all she could do now was support them.
"The Lord of the Big Dipper and the Profound Pavilion are so elegant."
Both Ye Rong and Xuan Ji looked up.
"The Hermit Emperor?"
Outside the flowerbed, the Hermit Emperor smiled and walked toward the pavilion. Ye Zichen, Yang Jian, and the Great Sage were by his side.
"Zichen, why are you with the Hermit Emperor? Are you still unwilling to give up? Mommy already told you not to even think about it. Got it? "
The flower fairies around Ye Rong glanced at Ye Zichen.
Instantly, the adorable fairies looked terrified. They flapped their wings and dove into the flowerbed, peeking out only their heads.
"Zichen, you scared those children," said Xuan Ji with a frown.
Only now did Ye Zichen notice that the flower fairies were staring at him in terror. He quickly realized that the murderous aura emanating from him had startled them.
After learning the truth from Bai Yulong, he couldn't hide his anger.
However, when he'd run into the Hermit Emperor, he'd intentionally restrained his anger. However, his heart couldn't lie. No matter how well he hid it, his gaze and aura were no longer gentle.
