Why are you here?
Not long after Su Yiyun left, the ice sealing Su Liu'er melted.
Su Liu'er bit her lips as she broke free from the ice.
"I actually fell for his tricks."
"You can't say that. There's no need to mention your attainments in the ice element, Ice Empress. But just now, that person gave him a taste of his own medicine. This isn't as simple as falling into the Dao. "
Su Liu'er had no way of rebutting this sort of statement. She had no way of refuting it.
She had been cultivating the ice element since she was young, so her resistance to ice element attacks could be said to be quite high. Even the Ice Empress Lu Lu, who had the same title as her, couldn't freeze her in ice without her being able to resist at all.
However, Su Yiyun had effortlessly neutralized her ice attack and sealed her in ice.
More importantly, he didn't specialize in the ice element, but in spirit arrays.
"He really isn't simple," said Su Liu'er reluctantly.
"For such an expert to fall into the hands of the demons, this is definitely not good news for us." "Emperor Ye," said the Flower Sect Master, smiling charmingly, "you let someone like that slip through your fingers. This is your mistake."
"Sort of," Ye Zichen nodded.
Seeing that Ye Zichen wasn't in a good mood, the Flower Sect Master didn't tease him further.
"It seems that this farce is over. I think they came here to show us their face. It won't be long before the elites of the Devil Race arrive. I won't stay here any longer. I'll return to the sect to make arrangements."
"Thank you for your hard work, Sect Master Hua," said Ye Zichen.
"It can't be said to be difficult. If the lips are gone, the teeth will be interdependent. I don't think I can be alone in this situation. I presume the other sects are the same. Emperor Ye, could you tell me where you've sent your guests? I'd like to discuss a countermeasure with them. "
"Nine-tailed Fox Clan."
"Alright, then I shall take my leave first."
"Sect Leader Hua, take care. I won't be sending you off."
The sect master of the Hundred Flowers Gate drifted away, leaving behind only Ye Zichen, Su Liu'er, and Lin Xi.
During this entire time, Lin Xihe's face was deathly pale. In truth, everyone present could understand why she was like this.
The person she wanted to entrust her life to was actually just using her.
"City Lord Lin …"
As a fellow woman, Su Liu'er could keenly sense Lin Xihe's feelings. She couldn't bear to watch any longer and was just about to comfort her when she saw Lin Xihe smile at her.
"It's alright."
She forced a smile, but it was also telling Su Liu'er to preserve her last bit of dignity.
No matter what, she was still the lord of a city. She was not weak enough to need others to comfort her.
"Zhao Zizhao actually colluded with the demons. The next time I see him, I'll definitely kill him myself."
Lin Xihe's eyes shone with determination. After a while, she composed herself and smiled.
"I'm glad that the wedding didn't take place. Otherwise, I might be a little distressed. It's getting late. Should I arrange for the two of you to rest? "
"There's no need to trouble City Lord Lin," said Ye Zichen. "I still need to make some plans and arrangements with the demons."
"Me too," said Su Liu'er. "I need to return to the Nine-tailed Fox Clan. The demons have already shown themselves, and they might even be lurking in the shadows, eyeing them covetously. Without me to oversee the clan, I can't rest easy."
"In that case, I won't force the two of you to stay," said Lin Xihe with a faint smile. Then she looked at Ye Zichen and said, "Emperor Ye, if there's anything you need, so long as I, Lin Xihe, can do it, I won't refuse."
"I'll remember that."
Ye Zichen and Su Liu'er nodded at him, then left the manor together.
From start to finish, Lin Xihe smiled as she watched them leave. Only when they were out of sight did she look up at the distant moon.
She was smiling, but her eyes ….
They were red.
An hour later, Ye Zichen appeared in Maple City. He'd originally invited Su Liu'er to discuss matters regarding the demons, but because she was too worried about the Nine-tailed Fox Clan, she'd left midway.
Without disturbing anyone, Ye Zichen quietly returned to his residence.
In truth, he'd subconsciously spread out his spiritual awareness. On his way back, he needed to make sure Xiao Yumei and Tiantian weren't in the manor.
They weren't!
"Lorie, come see me in my room."
A thunderous transmission exploded in Lorie's sea of consciousness, startling her so much that she tossed the pill she was about to swallow onto the ground.
She looked at it regretfully, then curled her lips and disappeared. When she reappeared, she was already in Ye Zichen's room.
"If you're back, then you're back. Why did you have to scare me? Just now, I was so scared I fell to the ground. Pay me back. "
Little Lorie reached out with an aggrieved expression. Ye Zichen frowned at her.
"Why aren't Yumei and Tiantian here? Didn't I tell you to stay by their side?"
"That's right, I told them to tell me if they went out. But they snuck out and didn't tell me at all, "said Little Lorie, blinking.
"They didn't tell you? How long has it been since they left? "
"They left not long after you left with Zuo Mo," said Little Lorie with a shrug. "Hey, don't even think about scolding me. Actually, I was the one who discovered them when they were sneaking away, so I secretly followed them. But they went to the South Heaven's Gate, and the guards there wouldn't let me in. I had no choice but to come back. "
Sensing Ye Zichen's unfriendly expression, Little Lorie hurriedly tried to explain herself.
When he heard this, Ye Zichen arched his brows, then his expression softened. If nothing unexpected happened, they'd most likely gone to the Heavenly Court to find Chang 'e. Furthermore, given the current situation, the Heavenly Court was indeed much safer than the Immortal Region.
"I got it. You can leave now. I want to think about some things in private."
Ye Zichen waved at Lorie, only to see her blink and stare right back at him.
He waved his right hand.
A pile of pills appeared on the table. When Little Lorie saw them, she instantly beamed with joy and rushed over, stuffing them into her bag of candy.
"Who?"
At this moment, Little Lorie, who was tidying up the pills, frowned.
She frowned at a corner of the room, then snorted.
"You want to run?"
She blinked and reappeared in a corner of Ye Zichen's room, then clawed at the empty space.
"You want to run in front of me?"
Ye Zichen's expression shook, and he forgot about the past. Before long, he saw a black-robed youth appear in the space she'd clawed. His expression was one of indifference.
After a brief moment of shock, Ye Zichen looked at the youth with a complicated expression and sighed.
