"I..." Ye Canglan opened his mouth, but he didn't know how to deal with Nangong Yueze's words. After a long while, he retorted: "Didn't His Highness Fufeng stay in the mortal world for the sake of the one he loves?"
"Haha, even if it is, but..." Nangong Yueze looked at Ye Canglan with a half-smile, "I am different from you. I am now a mortal body, and it is normal for you to stay in the mortal world. But you , as the Lord of the Underworld, if you stay in the mortal world for a long time, you will probably suffer a lot of criticism, right?"
"!!!..." Ye Canglan was speechless again.
Nangong Yueze said it right. As Pluto, he really shouldn't stay in the mortal world for a long time.
Seeing Ye Canglan's look, Yao Ji immediately chuckled, "Your Highness Pluto, don't argue with my junior brother. Even His Majesty the Emperor of Heaven acts according to his temper, let alone you?"
"Haha..." Ye Canglan laughed a few times and said nothing.
He was not stupid, so how could he not understand the meaning of Nangong Yueze's words.
Nangong Yueze ignored Ye Canglan. After drinking the remaining tea in the cup, he stood up and said to Yao Ji, "Senior sister, it's getting late. I should go back to Bingcheng to practice with Ge'er."
"Okay, I'll take you back." Yao Ji nodded slightly.
…
At the same time, Ice City.
Helian Wenyan was asking the disciples one by one about the first round of trials. Soon, he saw Jiuge sitting alone on the first floor of the inn with his eyes closed and concentrating.
She sat there cross-legged, her brows furrowed, as if she had something on her mind.
Seeing this, Helian Wenyan walked directly to her and asked in a low voice: "Girl Jiuge, are you okay?"
Hearing the voice, Jiuge slowly opened his eyes, "Master, why are you here?"
"Master, I saw something wasn't right about your face, so I came here to have a look."
"Master, I'm fine." Jiuge pursed his lips and whispered.
"You said it was okay, but look at you, all your thoughts are written on your face." Helian Wenyan said softly, "From the end of the first round of trials to now, you have always been worried."
Jiuge lowered his eyes. After being silent for a long time, he slowly said, "Master, I don't know if it's my misunderstanding. During this trip to the North Sea Icefield, I always feel that I don't know Ozawa well enough."
"Huh? Why did you say that suddenly?" Helian Wenyan raised his eyebrows in surprise.
Jiuge sighed softly and continued: "During the twelve hours of the first round of trials, I felt that the Ozawa next to me was different from the Ozawa I knew before. Not only did he interact with Yao Ji in private, We have a very good relationship with Shenjun, even the fairy named Bing Mengdie next to Yaoji Shenjun is very respectful to him. In addition, he actually knows Pluto Ye Canglan!"
"What? Ye Canglan?" Helian Wenyan couldn't help but be shocked when he heard Jiuge's words.
He had read in the ancient books in the library that the name of the Lord of the Underworld happened to be Ye Canglan.
Ye Canglan is a second-level divine emperor who has been in charge of the entire underworld for nearly 50,000 years and is the well-known overlord of the underworld.
Although the underworld has always been under the control of the Emperor of Heaven, Ye Canglan is a lonely and aloof god who rarely pays attention to the gods in the heaven.
How could such an unruly man be related to Nangong Yueze?
"Girl Jiuge, are you sure you read it correctly?" Helian Wenyan suppressed the shock in his heart and asked again,
Jiuge nodded, "I'm not wrong. I once heard Ozawa shout out his identity, and His Highness Pluto didn't deny it. However, this is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that His Highness Prince Pluto seems to give Ozawa a lot of face and is always polite when talking to him. Therefore, Master, I feel like I can’t see through him more and more..."
"Master understands your worries." After pondering for a moment, Helian Wenyan slowly said, "Actually, Master also feels that he is not simple. From the moment Master knew about his cultivation, Master was thinking, maybe , he is not an ordinary mortal at all."
Hearing this, Jiuge was slightly startled. He raised his head and looked at Helian Wenyan, his eyes flashing with confusion, "Master, have you ever doubted him?"
"That's right." Helian Wenyan sighed, "If not, how could he have an identity and cultivation beyond ordinary people at the age of nineteen?"
"..." Jiuge pursed his lips, feeling even more confused.
…
The sky quickly darkened.
Yao Ji, who was wearing a light blue dress, personally sent Nangong Yueze back to the entrance of the Ice City.
"Junior brother, you didn't see it just now. Ye Canglan's face was ugly. He didn't want to offend you, and he didn't dare to take me away directly in front of you. He could only sit there and drink tea alone. Yao Ji laughed twice and said.
"Senior sister has a life, and I, the junior brother, can only risk my life to accompany the gentleman." Nangong Yueze raised her thin lips and showed a gentle and jade-like smile, "However, based on my understanding of Ye Canglan, He won’t give up pursuing you that easily.”
"You are right, these big Canglans have indeed been pursuing me very hard, but my heart has long belonged to you, Senior Brother Yunyao, and I can no longer pretend to be someone else." Yao Ji shook her head lightly and said, "Even if Yun Yao only leaves a trace of his soul, I will definitely find a way to resurrect him."
"Senior sister, I believe that senior brother will definitely come back. I am still waiting for him to protect the Three Realms with me." Nangong Yueze said with a smile.
"Yes!" Yao Ji nodded heavily, her heart filled with longing for Yun Yao.
"By the way, senior sister, I would like to ask you to do me a favor during the second round of trials later." Nangong Yueze said suddenly. As he spoke, he leaned into Yao Ji's ear and whispered a few words softly.
After listening to Nangong Yueze's words, Yao Ji frowned slightly, "Junior brother, are you sure you want to do this?"
"Yes." Nangong Yueze nodded, "I didn't want to put too much pressure on her, but the empress of the Phoenix tribe is about to ascend the throne. As the empress of the Phoenix tribe, she should succeed as the empress. We can't let that treacherous little People have given up her identity in vain, so I want her to slowly recover some of the memories she should have, at least, she should know who she is."
After Yao Ji was silent for a moment, she finally nodded, "Since you have decided, I will do what you said."
"Yes." Nangong Yueze responded, and when he was about to turn around to find Jiuge, suddenly, a familiar figure appeared beside the two of them.
"song……"
After seeing clearly the appearance of the person in front of him, Nangong Yueze called softly.
"Oze, when did you come back?" Jiuge came to Nangong Yueze and asked softly.
Hearing this, Nangong Yueze was stunned for a moment, and then quickly explained: "I just came back and was talking to Lord Yao Ji, and you came over."
"Oh..." Jiuge nodded thoughtfully, then glanced at Yao Ji, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "The Lord Yao Ji is also here."
"Miss Jiuge, I just sent him back on the way." Yao Ji curled her lips and said, "If nothing happens, I will leave first. The second round of trials will start soon. I hope you all go well. Clearance."
"Well, Lord Yao Ji, please go slowly." Jiuge nodded.
After Yao Ji's figure disappeared, Jiu Ge turned to Nangong Yueze and asked in a low voice: "Oze, you and Yao Ji Shenjun... where were you just now?"
"We were just in the Northern Fairy Pond, which is located at the northernmost tip of the North Sea Icefield, about four hundred miles away from the Ice City." Nangong Yueze answered truthfully, "What's wrong? Ge'er, why did you suddenly ask me this?"
"I saw Lord Yaoji smiling happily when you were talking just now... Ozawa, does Lord Yaoji also like you?" Jiuge hesitated for a moment, mustered up the courage, and asked the doubts in his heart.
Hearing this, Nangong Yueze was startled for a moment, and then laughed out loud, "Silly girl, what are you thinking?! How could the Lord Yaoji like me?"
"Really?" Jiuge blinked and stared at Nangong Yueze suspiciously, "She really doesn't like you?"
"Of course it's true." Nangong Yueze stretched out his hand and knocked Jiu Ge on the head, "I told you before that Divine Lord Yaoji only has Divine Lord Yunyao in her heart. The reason why she asked me to go to the North Territory Immortal Pond was just to Reject Pluto Ye Canglan’s pursuit on her behalf.”
Jiuge pursed his lips and muttered, "So that's it..."
"Otherwise, where do you think she and I went just now?" Nangong Yueze said with a smile.
"I..." Jiuge looked up at Nangong Yueze, "Okay, okay, I was worrying too much just now."
"Silly girl." Nangong Yueze raised his eyebrows, then pinched Jiu Ge's cheek and asked deliberately: "Looking at your appearance just now, are you jealous?"
"Jealous?" Jiuge was stunned, then quickly shook his head, "How is that possible! How could I be jealous because of such a thing?! I'm just...I'm just worried about you...that's why..."
"Haha." Nangong Yueze chuckled twice, but did not expose her.
No matter what Jiuge's reaction was, as long as she cared about him, that was enough.
…
The floating jade wonderland.
With less than an hour left before the second round of trials, Bing Mengdie returned to Yao Ji and said respectfully: "Sovereign Lord, the illusion space for the second round of trials has been prepared."
"Okay, I understand." Yao Ji responded lightly.
Bing Mengdie nodded, hesitated, and then continued: "Sovereign God, there is something that I can't make up my mind about, and I would like to hear Lord Shen's opinion."
"What's the matter?" Yao Ji turned to look at Bing Mengdie and asked.
"In this round of trials, although the mortal memory of the Moon Goddess is sealed, his heavenly memory will not be sealed. Therefore, in the second round of trials, the Moon Goddess will only remember that he is the prince of the heavens, and I don’t remember my identity as Nangong Yueze." Bing Mengdie lowered her eyes and whispered.
"This is normal. Not to mention you, even I can't seal his heavenly memory." Yao Ji said lightly.
"If this is the case, will the second round of the illusion world be dominated by the Moon Goddess or the mortal girl?"
"His Highness has his own ideas for this round of trials, so you don't have to worry about it. I will arrange it according to his wishes."
"Yes." Bing Mengdie nodded and stepped aside respectfully.
