Chapter 757: Chapter 757: Talking about Everything Under the Sky
ng Die had wanted to accompany Zhong Niangyao, but after much discussion, she couldn’t win the argunt and reluctantly stayed behind, waiting for Zhong Niangyao’s return.
This ti, the place of invitation was next to the Divine World’s Turquoise Pool.
Zhong Niangyao arrived as agreed and saw that Wei Ruo had already set up a table and chairs along with so refreshnts by the pool.
At that mont, Wei Ruo was dressed in pure white, gracefully brewing tea, exuding an air of tranquil eras passed. When she noticed Zhong Niangyao’s arrival, she imdiately looked up and gave her a friendly smile.
Zhong Niangyao slowly approached and sat down across from Wei Ruo.
Wei Ruo poured a cup of tea and placed it in front of Zhong Niangyao, smiling as she said, “Yaohui, I’m really glad you could co out today. Although I invited you, I genuinely didn’t expect you would agree to co.”
“Why wouldn’t I co?” Zhong Niangyao raised an eyebrow, smiling as she spoke, “With such a warm invitation from you, it would be too discourteous of not to accept.”
After saying this, she picked up the tea cup, took a sip, and then praised, “This really is fine tea. Indeed, Wei Ruo’s Spiritual Tea is always exquisite.”
She wasn’t the least bit worried about Wei Ruo tampering with the tea. For one thing, whether Wei Ruo was that person behind the scenes, no one knew at this ti. Secondly, even if Wei Ruo truly was that person, she would not be foolish enough to harm her now.
“Yaohui, you’re really too polite,” Wei Ruo said with a smile, “You can just call by my na. We should be considered friends, right?”
“Since Wei Ruo has put it this way, it would seem rather pretentious of to refuse,” Zhong Niangyao replied with a smile, “Wei Ruo, I wonder if there is sothing specific you want to discuss with today?”
“Sothing to discuss? Not at all!” Wei Ruo replied with a smile, continuing, “Actually, I’ve always felt that we are friends. Since you’ve returned for so long, I’ve been wanting to find ti for a good chat with you, but ti hasn’t permitted. Moreover, lately, it seems both the Divine World and Qingqiu have been quite troubled!”
After Emperor Yichen returned, all the power in the Heavenly Realm was restored to the Emperor once again. Simultaneously, the Emperor recalled Yuan Hao and Linxi, who had been stationed outside. Afterwards, the emperor once again delegated his powers to his subordinates.
She had thought she would continue to manage a portion of the power as before. After all, she had done quite well over these ten thousand years, keeping the Divine World orderly and under control.
However, what she did not expect was that the Emperor seed to have forgotten her existence, having not ntioned her again. She was sure that Zhong Niangyao was behind this, otherwise, the Emperor would not treat her this way.
The thought of this caused a flicker of resentnt to pass through her eyes, solidifying her resolve about the actions she was planning to take.
“That’s right!” Zhong Niangyao nodded then looked at Wei Ruo, a aningful smile curling the corners of her mouth, “Recently, many Little Immortals have suddenly disappeared. So, both the Divine World and Qingqiu must now be on high alert.”
“I’ve heard about this too,” Wei Ruo said, her face showing a hint of helplessness, “Indeed, it’s caused so to be quite panicky.”
Zhong Niangyao watched Wei Ruo with an amused gaze, speaking again, “What do you think? Who could be abducting these Little Immortals? And for what purpose is the perpetrator kidnapping so many?”
Faced with Zhong Niangyao’s smile, Wei Ruo’s expression remained unchanged, “Indeed! It’s still unclear why. If we knew the reason, it would be much easier to handle.”
Zhong Niangyao’s eyes carried a profound aning, “Indeed! If we truly knew the reason, wouldn’t it be much easier to find the person? But tell , what could be the purpose of abducting so many Little Immortals?”
“Who knows?” Wei Ruo said with a smile, shaking her head, “Since the perpetrator has captured so many Little Immortals, there must certainly be her reasons.”
“And what could those reasons be?” Zhong Niangyao retorted coldly, “Reasons that can’t be spoken aloud are simply twisted logic. And the perpetrator is no good person either. No matter the reasons, they do not conceal her inherently selfish and hypocritical nature.”
Listening to Zhong Niangyao’s curses, Wei Ruo’s expression did not change, but anyone observing her tightly clenched fists might notice that she was not as composed as she appeared.
After speaking ill of the perpetrator, Zhong Niangyao picked up her cup once more, taking another sip, then continued, “Let’s not talk about this matter any further, the Heavenly Realm has already begun to take action. I imagine the perpetrator behind this will soon be caught.”
“Let’s drop this subject,” Zhong Niangyao shook her head and continued, “Wei Ruo, I haven’t seen much of you recently!”
Caught off guard by Zhong Niangyao’s question, Wei Ruo paused then replied with a smile, “Yes, I’ve been quite busy lately, so I haven’t had much ti. As soon as I was free, I imdiately arranged to et with you for a chat.”
“In the blink of an eye, ten thousand years have passed. Thinking back, those days actually went by quite quickly. I recall when I thought the Divine World was nearly destroyed. Even now, it still gives chills!”
Listening to Wei Ruo’s words, Zhong Niangyao did not object, instead responding with a smile, “Since it’s all in the past, there’s no need to bring it up over and over again. It’s been so long since those events; there’s no point dwelling on them any longer.”
“If you can think like that, it’s really great,” Wei Ruo said with a smile, “You and the Emperor have co through the bitterness into sweetness. Seeing you together, I’m also very happy for you both. To have lovers finally wed.”
Zhong Niangyao smiled and didn’t say much more, just nodded in agreent.
Soon, the two began animatedly discussing recent events again. Of course, the topic of the missing Little Immortals was inevitably brought up.
In her conversation, Wei Ruo expressed sympathy and concern for the Little Immortals, while Zhong Niangyao seed sowhat indifferent.
The two sat together for quite so ti, talking at length, before finally getting up to say goodbye.
Even in the end, Zhong Niangyao still hadn’t figured out what Wei Ruo’s agenda was in arranging this eting. Surely it couldn’t really just be to casually chat. She didn’t believe that her relationship with Wei Ruo was good enough for that.
