General Li trembled with rage.
He glared at Su Yan for a long time, then nodded forcefully, snatched the phone from Zuo Mo's hands, and left.
Ye Zichen looked at Su Liu 'er in confusion …..
As far as he could remember, Su Liu 'er was domineering, but she definitely wasn't an unreasonable person.
No matter what, the dead had to be respected. General Li's son risking his life to retrieve the footage was already commendable. Even if Su Liu 'er was telling the truth, it was still a bit excessive.
"General Li!"
Exclaimed Xiao Yumei. General Li didn't even look back.
She hurriedly signaled Xiao Yan with her eyes. Xiao Yan and Xiao Hu understood and followed General Li out of the hall.
"Big Sister Liu 'er," said Ye Zichen. "I'm just telling the truth. He's different from the others. He's experienced the God Race's invasion, so he should know better than anyone how important it is to understand the Aura-Breaker Beasts. Unfortunately, his understanding of the Aura-Breaker Beasts is limited to his son's footage. Don't you think that's ridiculous?
Is that so? "
Su Liu 'er's eyes flashed with cold light. Her cold demeanor rendered Ye Zichen completely speechless.
Before she'd even finished speaking, she snorted once more.
"Don't call me Big Sister Liu 'er. I can't bear to hear you call me that. Lil 'Yan, let's go. "
Su Liu'er dragged Su Yan out of the hall. Everyone else in the hall looked at each other. No one knew why Su Liu'er was so angry.
"Could it be that Big Sister Liu 'er has reached the point where all women go through a few days?"
Gou Yuzhan muttered cautiously, his head drooping. Yin Shang glared at him, then covered his mouth.
"It seems to me you don't want to live anymore!"
Ye Zichen glanced at the empty chairs. He never would've guessed things would develop to this point.
"Yumei, go check on Big Sister Liu 'er. Everyone else …. Go back!"
Several people left in a huff. It seemed this meeting would be difficult to continue.
Everyone else stood up and bid farewell to Ye Zichen. They sat in their chairs, looked around the empty hall, and couldn't help but pinch their heads.
"Perhaps I shouldn't have come," said Gu Li.
"You?" Ye Zichen moved his hand away from his head. "Then why did you follow me here and intentionally destroy the unity of our alliance?"
"Even if I wanted to, I wouldn't use such a lousy method."
Gu Li shrugged. "I just didn't expect them to be here. I didn't expect them to still be so prejudiced against me."
"She has a strong opinion of you. Big Sister Liu 'er is already being magnanimous by not killing you directly."
Ye Zichen waved at Gu Li, then rubbed his head.
"You should leave too. Let me sit here by myself for a while."
Everyone had left.
A gentle breeze blew in from the open doors, causing Ye Zichen's shadow to sway along with the flickering candlelight.
Ye Zichen could understand why Su Liu'er was so angry.
Back when the demons had invaded, the Endless Beast Region, the Immortal Region, the Heavenly Court, and the Underworld had lost far too many people.
Yuan Hong had died in that invasion. Not only was he Ye Zichen's good friend, but he was also Liu 'er's true love and the Great Sage's brother.
After interacting with An Lu, Gu Li had changed dramatically. It was fair to say that he was completely different from his former self.
It was said that the prodigal son was worth more than gold. Gu Li suddenly came to a realization. Although Ye Zichen was hostile toward him, he had subtly accepted him.
The Great Sage hated him, but for the sake of the greater good, he hadn't targeted him.
But Su Liu'er ….
Undoing the knot in her heart was far too difficult.
Even if Gu Li had become the savior of the world and saved billions of lives, in Su Liu'er's eyes, he was still Yuan Hong's executioner.
No matter what Gu Li did, he couldn't change this fact!
Dingdong.
Dingdong.
A cell phone notification suddenly rang out in the hall. In such a quiet environment, the notification sound was especially loud.
Ye Zichen, tormented by his melancholy, helplessly took out his phone and opened his social media app. The sender was a stranger, one of the God Emperor's trusted Divine Arbiter.
There were only two messages, and they were short.
Are you there?
Ye Zichen tapped the screen, composed a message, and sent it back.
Only Idealism: I'm here. Why are you looking for me? Right, I haven't had a chance to thank you for helping me back in the tomb.
Stranger: Even without me, Yuchi Kong and the others wouldn't be able to do anything to you with that person in the Yao-Sealing Pagoda.
Only Idealism: I should still thank you.
Back in the tomb's real room, Ye Zichen had been in grave danger while trying to stop Yuchi Kong and Huangfu Youming.
Fortunately, the Divine Arbiter had arrived just in time. After blocking a fatal blow, Ye Zichen had used peach juice as bait to summon Cang Xiong.
As for the God-Destroying Crossbow …..
In truth, it hadn't been of much use.
The crossbow had already been used before, so using it a second time was practically useless. Ye Zichen had only used the crossbow to intimidate Cang Xiong. It was all to stall for time with him.
Stranger: If you want to thank me, you might as well kill Yuchi Kong.
Stranger: If he told Zhou Wu what happened back then, it would inevitably cause a rift between me and Zhou Wu.
Stranger: Speaking of which, Yuchi Kong should be in your Yao-Sealing Pagoda, right? What's the point of keeping him around?
Only Idealism: That's right!
Stranger: You want to use him to keep the Yuchi and Huangfu families in check? You've got some guts.
In response, Ye Zichen merely replied with a polite smile, but didn't say anything else.
At the end of the day, the Divine Arbiter had never explicitly expressed her intention to join the alliance, but she had made it clear that she would serve Zhou Wu, even if she died.
Ye Zichen had the right not to tell her anything that touched on secrets.
The Divine Arbiter had already mentioned that she could do this!
Stranger: Fine, no matter what you do with him, I hope he won't say anything.
Only Idealism: I'm not sure.
Stranger: You're trying to put me in deep trouble!
Only Idealism: Absolutely not. I'll do my best to keep Yuchi Kong in line.
Only Idealism: You didn't call me just to chat, did you? Is there something you want to talk to me about?
When he said that, the Divine Arbiter fell silent for a long time.
Ye Zichen stared at his phone screen for at least a hundred breaths before he saw the message she was typing on the screen.
Stranger: I'm struggling!
Only Idealism: When you decided to call me, even if you were struggling, your heart was already leaning towards me. Tell me, did Zhou Wu do something so cruel that you think he's gone crazy?
Stranger: Yes!
When he saw the reply, Ye Zichen was visibly stunned. In truth, he'd just said it casually. He hadn't really expected to hit the mark.
Only Idealism: What did Zhou Wu do this time?
