East China Sea.
The Hall of Ten Thousand Demons.
Since Su Bujin disappeared half a year ago, Guan Lao, as the first-grade chief assistant elder, has naturally taken over all affairs of East China Sea and became the temporary leader of East China Sea.
Mr. Guan was diligent and conscientious, and he was even more meticulous about East China Sea affairs. He had to deal with countless memorials every day and was extremely busy. Later, he even moved into the Hall of Ten Thousand Demons.
However, today Mr. Guan actually shied away from all the affairs. The Hall of Ten Thousand Demons closed its doors to thank guests and no one was seen. No one knew why Mr. Guan was so abnormal today.
However, the guards at the entrance of the Hall of Ten Thousand Demons could vaguely see through the crack in the door that Mr. Guan seemed to be receiving a mysterious guest.
At this time, in the empty Hall of Ten Thousand Demons, two figures sat facing each other.
One of them is naturally Guan Lao.
Sitting opposite Mr. Guan was a woman in yellow.
The woman in yellow has a graceful figure, exuding an ethereal aura, her eyes are ethereal and transparent, and she seems to be able to see through the essence of everything in the world. She is shrouded in a layer of sacred light, and she seems to be born close to Tao.
The way of heaven governs Zi Nu!
Mr. Guan looked at Guan Zinuo with a rare kind look on his face and said, "Why are you back?"
"I passed by the East China Sea and came to see you. I brought you something. Remember to grind this fairy ginseng into powder and soak it in water to drink. This Xiangming fruit can be taken directly. Don't take that Ganoderma flower. It's Spiritual energy nourishes the mind and can prolong life, so you can make it a bonsai." Guan Zinuo took out several brocade boxes, which contained very rare and precious spiritual plants that were priceless.
"Be busy with your own business. There is no need to waste your time on a bad old man like me." Although he said this, the smile on Mr. Guan's face still revealed his true thoughts.
"No matter how busy you are, you have to go home and take a look. Isn't this what you taught me since childhood?" Guan Zinuo said with a smile.
Guan Lao smiled even brighter and said, "I'm very happy that you can consider Donghai as your home."
Guan Zinuo's expression suddenly became calm and he said: "The East China Sea is not my home. The only place that can accommodate me in this huge ocean is the cold hell. The only person who makes me feel a sense of belonging is You and only you are my family."
Guan Lao's face froze, then he lowered his head silently and said, "I'm sorry."
Guan Zinuo said nonchalantly: "You don't need to apologize to me. I'm not blaming you. I am the way of heaven. I have no father or mother. I am doomed to be alone since I was born. Everyone in the world is afraid of me. I wish that a monster like me would stay here all my life." In the endless hell, but you adopted me, gave me a name, let me follow your surname, taught me to grow up, and gave me, the incarnation of heaven, feelings and more humanity. Apart from Ah Qing, you are the only one I have in this world. The closest person in the world.”
There was a moment of silence.
After a long time, Mr. Guan finally said, "After a while, I plan to resign from all positions."
"tired?"
Mr. Guan sighed softly and said: "It was a capital crime for me to let you out privately. If it weren't for the fact that this mess in Donghai was not dealt with, I should have committed suicide on the day I let you go without authorization. I just worried about Donghai. I have only survived for a while, if I continue to survive, how can I live up to the trust of the sentient beings in the East China Sea?"
Guan Zinuo was silent for a moment and then said: "No one will know about this."
Mr. Guan smiled and said, "You know, I know too, how can you say no one knows?"
Guan Zinuo frowned and said, "But if you die, what will happen to Donghai?"
Guan Laodao said: "Gu Yuexi of the Honghu clan has performed very well during this period. He became a third-grade elder at a young age. His qualifications may be a little shallow, and he is not particularly smart, but he is rigorous and serious in doing things. , plus I personally led him for a period of time, I think he should be qualified to take over my position."
After Guan Zinuo hesitated for a moment, he revealed his true feelings: "I don't want you to die."
"This is the knot in my heart. If it hadn't been for me, you wouldn't have been imprisoned in the endless hell." As he said this, Guan Lao's eyes had already filled with tears of guilt, "I'm really sorry."
Guan Zinuo shook his head and said: "I went in voluntarily. I am different from the rest of the world. Without you, I might have been locked up as soon as I was born. I wouldn't even have the chance to touch the world. You gave me You had a good childhood, why should you blame yourself?"
Guan Lao said with tears in his eyes: "If I had been stronger back then, maybe you wouldn't have been imprisoned in the Eternal Hell, but I just watched you being imprisoned in it. I never dared to tell others that you were my child. Because I don’t deserve it. No parent can watch their child suffer without being indifferent. I have no shame in seeing you.”
Guan Zinuo chuckled and said: "How can you influence the will of Emperor Zilong and his group of high-level officials in the East China Sea? You already did a good job back then."
"In the past, I didn't want you to be so focused on me. I just wanted you to live your life in peace. Now, whatever you want to do, just go ahead and do it. I know you are destined to stand at the top, no matter what you do. I support you all."
Guan Zinuo nodded and said, "I do want to do something. I don't like the order of this world. It's time to change it."
Mr. Guan said with emotion: "I believe nothing can trouble you. With your qualifications, I am afraid that only Your Majesty can compare with you. If she were alive, I hope you can become friends, but it is a pity that Your Majesty has already"
Guan Lao's eyes couldn't help but dim when he thought of Su Bujin who was missing.
"She's not dead." Guan Zinuo said calmly.
When Guan Lao heard this, he was startled and said, "How do you know?"
Guan Zinuo said: "Half a year ago, I met her once in the hunting world. She was indeed destined to suffer a calamity, but it was not fatal. I think she just cannot return to the Qiyuan world for the time being."
Guan Lao suddenly looked happy and said, "Really?"
"Have you forgotten who I am? I am the Way of Heaven, and I can't be wrong about people." Guan Zinuo's tone was calm, but there was an undoubted confidence in it.
"That's good." Mr. Guan couldn't help but laugh, feeling as if a stone in his heart had fallen to the ground.
Guan Zinuo suddenly laughed and said, "However, it's hard to say whether she and I can become friends. Our first meeting didn't seem very pleasant."
"Then why did you come back this time?"
"The rain is about to come." Guan Zinuo deliberately let it slip, with a little playfulness in his eyes, "Just wait and see, the Qiyuan world will become interesting soon."
