54: Chu Yun's Guilt

"Yes, Your Highness."

"I will go to the Prime Ministers Residence now."

Luo Feng was about to leave when he suddenly turned around: "Your Highness, since you mentioned Jade Girl, I actually have something about her that I think I should tell you."

Chu Yun blinked: "What is it?"

"About ten days ago, Jade Girl asked me something."

"She asked me if Venerable Wan Lei was in the residence one night," Luo Feng said.

Chu Yun's brow furrowed slightly: "Specifically, which day? When?"

Luo Feng answered with certainty: "The day after Your Highness and the others returned from Cangfeng Mountain Range."

Upon hearing this, Chu Yun's heart suddenly clenched, and he quickly asked: "What was your answer?"

"I answered truthfully," Luo Feng replied.

After listening, Chu Yun's expression turned somewhat solemn, and after a few seconds of silence, he said: "Alright, I understand. You may go."

"Yes."

Luo Feng then headed to the Prime Ministers Residence.

Night Devour's eyes darted around, and he quietly asked: "Master, was it Wan Lei who rescued Meng Ruxue last time?"

Chu Yun looked at him coldly, the atmosphere stiff, without speaking.

Night Devour was so unnerved by his gaze that he gave a dry laugh: "Master, I... I really need to go, I'll be leaving now."

In a flash, Night Devour disappeared without a trace.

Chu Yun sat there alone, his mind filled with countless thoughts, which ultimately turned into a sigh.

Indeed, he had somewhat underestimated the Heavenly Demoness.

This person, who was once an Emperor Realm expert, was no less in Heart-Nature compared to himself.

Since the matter could not be concealed, it was better to be direct and honest.

Do not let this plant a seed of discord.

Chu Yun stood up and slowly walked towards the secret chamber where the Heavenly Demoness's true body was Cultivating in seclusion.

..........

After entering the secret chamber, Chu Yun saw the Heavenly Demoness's true body sitting on the ground. She also sensed Chu Yun's arrival and her cold lips parted slightly: "Has something happened?"

"Nothing much, I just wanted to talk to you," Chu Yun found a place to sit down casually, looking at her with deep meaning in his eyes.

The Heavenly Demoness slowly opened her eyes, revealing her pair of purple-gold pupils. She looked at Chu Yun unhurriedly and asked: "What do you want to talk about?"

"How did you find out..."

"It was I who asked Wan Lei to rescue Meng Ruxue."

Chu Yun looked at her, saying with some embarrassment.

The Heavenly Demoness, however, remained calm and composed: "You mean this matter."

"The person who rescued her at that time was at least in the Venerable Realm."

"A Venerable Realm expert could have easily counter-killed all of us, yet he only rescued Meng Ruxue and didn't even show his face. This can only mean that the rescuer was afraid of revealing his identity."

"Combined with the fact that he Cultivates the power of lightning, and after I asked Luo Feng, I naturally knew everything."

The Heavenly Demoness's tone made Chu Yun somewhat surprised; she didn't seem to react much to this matter?

"Then why didn't you question me immediately?"

"Don't you blame me?" Chu Yun asked sincerely.

The Heavenly Demoness's emotions in her eyes were still relatively stable: "If you wanted me to know, you would naturally tell me."

"Otherwise, if I asked, I would only get some evasive excuses, which is unnecessary."

"As for blaming you, you don't have memories of your previous life, so it's understandable that you would be wary of me."

"I said before that time would prove everything, and naturally, I wouldn't blame you because of this matter."

The Heavenly Demoness's words made Chu Yun's mouth open and close, but he couldn't utter a single word.

She still thought that Chu Yun didn't have memories of his previous life, and it was normal for him not to completely trust her.

This made Chu Yun's heart ache for a moment.

Chu Yun looked at her, his eyes filled with distress.

Finally, he walked over, picked her up, and held her tightly in his arms: "Xiner, I swear, from now on, nothing like this will ever happen again."

The Heavenly Demoness, held by him, slowly placed her hands on his back.

This was her first time having such intimate close contact with a man, skin against skin, feeling the softness and warmth of his body. The feeling in her heart was also incredibly wonderful and joyful.

"Was your reason for saving her to stop the conflict between us?"

With a relaxed and happy mood, the Heavenly Demoness also spoke up and asked.

Chu Yun told her truthfully: "That's right, I don't want you two to fight. In fact... I want you two to be able to coexist..."

"Alright, I agree to that," the Heavenly Demoness responded.

Chu Yun suddenly stood up, looking at her with surprised confusion: "You agreed?!"

Chu Yun couldn't believe it; they were sworn enemies, yet the Heavenly Demoness agreed so easily!

"Honestly, neither of us, whether in the past or now, has had absolute certainty of being able to kill the other."

"Including back then."

"Even if you hadn't had Wan Lei rescue her, she might not have died there."

"Don't underestimate the trump cards of a Reincarnation Emperor Realm expert."

"Our long-standing grudge, we've fought for too long. I believe not only am I tired, but she is also tired."

"I am willing to make concessions for you, but even if I am willing to stop fighting, it might not be so easy to persuade Meng Ruxue," the Heavenly Demoness told him what was in her heart.

Chu Yun naturally understood that the Heavenly Demoness said these things because of him, and she was willing to make great concessions for him.

Then, as a man, what reason did he have not to accomplish this task?

"Don't worry, I will handle Meng Ruxue's side."

"You can rest assured."

He said to the Heavenly Demoness, and afterward, Chu Yun left the secret chamber.

After coming out, Chu Yun sighed with complicated thoughts: "To have deceived a woman who treated me with such sincerity before, I'm truly a beast!"

System: [It's a package!]

The System suddenly answered without being asked.

Chu Yun: ???

"System, are you getting ahead of yourself? Are you looking for a beating?"

System: [...]

System: [Master, please don't think that way. You are a good man, your original intention remains. You just want them to live in harmony and to have a happy and fulfilling family with you.]

Chu Yun: I like hearing that!

..........

As the sun set, night fell.

Luo Feng had arranged everything at the city gates. Near midnight, Chu Yun, Night Devour, and Array Venerable secretly left the city together.

To be safe, Chu Yun had specifically brought Array Venerable.

Besides them, there were two other groups of people who also secretly left the city at the same time.

And their destination was surprisingly the same as Chu Yun's: Cangfeng Mountain Range!

One group was naturally those from the Eastern Palace.

And the other group was the powerhouses from Misty Rain Tower!
