Chapter 2396 - 2396 Not Angry?

2396 Not Angry?

Mu Qinghe’s gaze landed on Hong Yao coldly and nonchalantly. “Hong Yao.”

Hong Yao suddenly turned around and looked at him furiously. Why did you take action?!

Mu Qinghe’s eyes were filled with frost that could not melt, and it was chilling to the bones.

“First Deity!?” Qiu Tong—who followed behind Tuan Zi and Hong Yao—looked at the scene in shock. What kind of situation is this?! First Deity is also here?! Even though he is indeed in charge of the Fantasy Divine Sea, hasn’t he stayed in his own yard and not come out all these years? I heard that even when he punished Seventh Deity, Jin Yunlai, he just separated out some aura and did not reveal himself. And now… This is clearly the First Deity himself!

Beside the First Deity was Bi Ling.

Qiu Tong knew that she had always guarded the depths of the Fantasy Divine Sea, so he was not shocked to see her. However, the key was the two women standing before the First Deity…

“Shangguan Yue? Mu Hongyu?! Why are you guys here?!”

Mu Qinghe glanced at him. “Qiu Tong, it seems like you’ve guarded the Heaven Gate very well.”

Qiu Tong’s heart instantly skipped a beat. “Qiu Tong is useless!”

Countless guesses flashed across his mind. Could it be that… Mu Hongyu broke through and reached the Great Advanced Realm?! It’s the only way the two of them can silently come to the Fantasy Divine Sea, and they even alerted the First Deity.

“Previously, it was my warning to you. If you don’t believe it, you can try again,” said Mu Qinghe coldly.

This was clearly for Chu Liuyue.

Chu Liuyue’s lips curled into a cold smile. “Sure.”

Mu Hongyu took a step forward and pulled her arm. “Liuyue, let’s go back first.”

Seeing the current situation, we definitely can’t continue. We can only leave the area first and think of other ways. Seeing Mu Qinghe’s posture, he is really going to take action!

Chu Liuyue hugged Tuan Zi tighter and glanced at Mu Qinghe. “I will eventually get back what belongs to me!”

Mu Qinghe did not speak.

Mu Hongyu tore through the space and pulled Chu Liuyue to leave.

Even if Mu Qinghe and the rest discovered them, it was best if fewer people knew about this.

Seeing the two of them leave openly, Bi Ling could not help but say, “First Deity, you’re really letting them go just like that?!”

They were so arrogant. Not to mention me, but they did not even care about First Deity! Could it be… that the First Deity is really soft-hearted? Just because of that Chu Liuyue?

Bi Ling really could not figure it out. As deities, we are always high and mighty. Since when have we ever been challenged, especially when the person being targeted was the First Deity, who has the highest status?

Mu Qinghe glanced at her.

Bi Ling’s heart immediately skipped a beat, and she hurriedly swallowed her remaining words. I was also muddled to dare question the First Deity in his face.

“I don’t want to hear anything about today from someone else. Do you understand?”

Bi Ling and Qiu Tong instantly understood and replied, “Yes!”

Mu Qinghe put away his sword and glanced at Hong Yao.

Hong Yao ignored him and turned around to leave.

Mu Qinghe knitted his brows slightly but did not say much.

The water rippled, and his figure quickly disappeared.

“Have a safe journey, First Deity!”

After a while and confirming that Mu Qinghe had indeed left, Bi Ling and Qiu Tong heaved a sigh of relief.

The two of them exchanged glances and had complicated expressions.

“What exactly… happened just now?” asked Qiu Tong.

Bi Ling’s face was cold. “What else could it be? Those two people secretly came over several times to snatch Diwu Zhangze away. I long suspected that something was amiss, so I specifically waited here and caught them with much difficulty. I was about to take action when First Deity came. Besides, those two women seem to know the First Deity, especially the one in red…”

“Shangguan Yue?”

“That’s right! She seems to have an extraordinary relationship with the First Deity. I heard them talk for a while and could not figure out what was going on. After First Deity warned them, he planned to let them go. I stopped him and was even warned by the First Deity.”

Qiu Tong knitted his brows. “First Deity actually protected them?”

Bi Ling thought for a moment before saying, “Not exactly ‘protect’ I guess. After all, First Deity had taken action but was stopped by that red-gold heavenly phoenix and green sparrow. You know whatever happened later.”

What they could confirm was that they did have some history. However, they did not know what exactly was going on.

Since the incident involved the First Deity, it was extremely hard to find out.

“Oh right, speaking of that green sparrow… I don’t remember that the First Deity has an agreement with a fiend. When I saw that green sparrow at the Heaven Gate, I even found it strange for so long. Since when was there such a thing in the Fantasy Divine Palace… So it’s the First Deity’s?”

Bi Ling was beyond frustrated. “How would I know?”

There were clearly more problems than expected.

If the First Deity was bent on hiding it, how could they know?

Qiu Tong knitted his brows tightly. “I still feel that this matter is amiss. So many problems happened previously, and First Deity didn’t personally appear. Why did he come this time? Besides, he even ordered us to not talk about today’s incident. This…”

Was there really no other plan?

However, Bi Ling did not care about this. “This is the Fantasy Divine Sea—it has always been under First Deity’s control. Now that something happened, isn’t it normal that he came? Besides, Shangguan Yue and that girl silently crossed the Heavenly Tribulation to come here and almost took Diwu Zhangze away. If word gets out… Not only you and me, but even First Deity would be criticized. Do you want to blow the matter up?”

Qiu Tong hurriedly waved his hands. “How can it be? I just find the matter strange, so I talked about it casually. However, your words make sense. If it implicates Diwu Zhangze and the Fantasy Divine Sea… It is normal for the First Deity to be more careful.”

“Forget it. First Deity has already said that he would punish them severely if they came again! Let’s just do our own duties.” Then, Bi Ling turned to dive into the depths of the sea.

Qiu Tong stood rooted to the spot for a moment and finally left.

…

Chu Liuyue and the rest quickly returned to the Fantasy Divine Hall.

She placed Tuan Zi down and poured tea for herself and Mu Hongyu. Then, she finally sat down to handle the wound on her shoulders.

The wound wasn’t deep, but Mu Qinghe’s current cultivation level was extremely high. The force in that sword was not to be underestimated.

The entire room was silent.

Mu Hongyu held the teacup and looked at Chu Liuyue from time to time.

Chu Liuyue’s expression was calm. After treating her wounds, she helped Tuan Zi brush her hair.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

“Hong Yao pulled it?” she asked.

Tuan Zi acknowledged softly.

Chu Liuyue nodded and tied the red string with the golden bell properly.

Mu Hongyu could not hold it any longer and softly asked, “Liuyue, you’re… not angry?”
