Chapter 215
As soon as he finished speaking, the entire room fell silent, and everyone turned to look at Xingxiu, their eyes filled with undisguised shock.
It's no wonder they acted this way. The main reason is that Nalan Jingwen had previously ordered the abolition of this rule and explicitly forbade anyone to mention it again. Because of the authority of the main god, no one dared to make any further comments. But now, no one expected that the Grand Elder would bring it up again.
Everyone lowered their heads, bracing themselves for Nalan Jingwen's wrath, remaining silent in fear.
Xue Qingheng was slightly taken aback and subconsciously looked up at Nalan Jingwen.
The latter remained calm, not looking at Xue Qingheng, but merely glancing at Xingxiu who was gazing expectantly at him. His voice was flat, yet carried an undeniable authority.
"Star Constellation, have you forgotten what I said back then?"
Xingxiu's eyes dimmed for a moment as he glanced at Xue Qingheng. Despite being a cold and aloof immortal, there was an imperceptible sense of loss in his eyes as he looked at Nalan Jingwen, which made him seem more human.
Xue Qingheng seemed unaware of the change in her emotions. Her dark eyelashes trembled slightly and drooped, casting a faint shadow on her eye sockets. Her aura of coldness and aloofness became even stronger.
She has lived for nearly a thousand years, following Nalan Jingwen since the beginning of this continent's formation. She has witnessed too much, and she can accurately perceive even the subtle changes in their auras.
Previously, Xue Qingheng was indeed not interested in their master, and their master never cared about matters of love, so they didn't say much. But in fact, they were still worried in private, always feeling that their master should have someone serving him.
Later, the adults picked up a man from somewhere. Although he was indeed handsome, he was a demon and could not be brought into the open. Moreover, the demon behaved improperly and always clung to the adults. He had no manners or discipline that a man should have, which made him very unpleasant.
Unfortunately, since the adults liked it, they followed the adults' wishes. As long as they didn't marry, no one objected.
Now that the demon has had its divine bones removed by the adults and has been banished to the mortal realm, disappearing for hundreds of years, they are naturally happy.
The master has returned, but he is short of servants. Looking across the entire divine realm, only the Nether Dragon and the Black Phoenix are qualified to serve the master. Originally, she dared not mention this matter, but the subtle changes between the two did not escape her notice.
After a moment of contemplation, Xingxiu said, "My lord, now that you have returned, you are short of people to serve you. Originally, it should have been Jingchi who served you, but I sent Jingchi down to the mortal realm to find you, and he has not returned yet. The best candidate now is the Nether Dragon Protector."
When she mentioned the Mirror Pool, Nalan Jingwen suddenly pictured those clear, blue eyes and fell silent for a moment.
She found Mirror Pool when she was suppressing the great demon of the North Sea. It was discovered under a hidden reef. It was probably not long after it was born. It was abandoned here and almost swept away by the surging waves and lost its life.
If she hadn't heard that faint cry, perhaps it was fate that led her to discover him, rescue him, and name him Mirror Pool.
Because the Mirror Pool was too small at that time, he was entrusted to the Star Constellation to be raised. He was rarely seen, but he could always see the black figure hiding in a secluded corner during his free time.
He thought he was hiding well, secretly watching her from a corner, but in reality, nothing in the entire divine realm could escape her eyes.
She didn't care at the time, and she wouldn't ask any questions once she was handed over to Xingxiu for training. Now it seems that Xingxiu is training Jingchi as her husband.
Nalan Jingwen collected his thoughts and said calmly, "No need. My soul is not yet complete, so I will not return to the Divine Realm for the time being."
Xingxiu was slightly taken aback, then frowned.
"My lord, are you not planning to return?"
Nalan Jingwen nodded and hummed in agreement, offering no further explanation.
She sacrificed her divine body to the Yingtian Stone, leaving herself a chance to survive by scattering her divine soul to different dimensional worlds. If Yuan had not died, or perhaps had been resurrected before her, he would have found her divine soul before she returned and completely destroyed it. To avoid this, she deliberately scattered her divine soul, and it would not be easy to collect it all.
Nalan Jingwen was the last wisp of divine soul. Only when Nalan Jingwen died could her divine soul be completely integrated, pieced together, and returned to the divine realm.
This is why, even though she regained most of her memories, her strength had not been restored.
Yuan is another god born from heaven and earth, with great strength, even comparable to her. She would never be so careless as to think that she could kill Yuan completely in that battle back then. Since she could leave herself a way out, Yuan would definitely do the same.
As for her identity as Nalan Jingwen, she plans to return to Fengtian and live there until her death, fulfilling the duties of Nalan Jingwen before returning to the Divine Realm after her death.
Xingxiu pursed her lips, her expression solemn, and looked at Nalan Jingwen, hesitant to speak.
The words in his throat swirled around in his throat, but in the end he said nothing and fell silent.
Adults always act with their own sense of propriety, and others cannot interfere; they can only obey.
Nalan Jing, knowing what she wanted to say, remained indifferent and continued, "Send people to find Yuan's whereabouts, as well as those who went with her back then. Once found, kill them without mercy."
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone looked up abruptly, unable to hide their shock. Xingxiu's pupils contracted slightly, and he stepped forward, asking urgently, "What does Your Excellency mean?"
Nalan Jingwen nodded. "I suspect Yuan is still alive."
"How could this be?"
The crowd discussed the matter, their voices filled with disbelief. Everyone had been present during that battle and had clearly witnessed Yuan die by the master's sword, his soul scattered to the winds.
Nalan Jingwen glanced at everyone indifferently, his voice gradually becoming serious, "This is just speculation at the moment, and we don't know the specifics yet, but we must not let our guard down under any circumstances. Find the remaining accomplices and kill them on the spot. Xingxiu, listen to my command!"
"Star Constellation obeys!"
Xingxiu's face was resolute and solemn, completely submissive, and unconditionally obeyed Nalan Jingwen.
Xue Qingheng stood to the side, listening to Nalan Jingwen's instructions to the others. After waiting for a long time without hearing her name called, her cool brows furrowed slightly. She simply stared at her without saying a word.
Nalan Jingwen noticed the gaze falling on her, glanced at him with some confusion, and then looked away. When Xue Qingheng saw her turn around, his eyes lit up almost imperceptibly for a moment, but returned to normal after she turned back. His hands, hidden under his wide sleeves, clenched slightly, and he turned his gaze to the weak little fox in Nalan Jingwen's arms. His eyes flickered, and he pursed his lips without saying a word.
After explaining everything, Nalan Jingwen turned to look at him and said, "Let's go."
Seeing that Nalan Jingwen was about to leave, Xingxiu took a few steps forward and reached out as if to grab her, but then remembered something and stopped himself.
"My lord... can the stars descend to the mortal realm to see you?"
Nalan Jing refused without hesitation.
"You guard the divine realm well. If you receive any news about the Abyss, immediately send someone to inform the Nether Dragon, who will then relay it to me."
What she feared was that Yuan was always in the shadows, and would take advantage of the situation once Xingxiu left the Divine Realm.
