Chapter 441 Choice
Amidst the golden light surrounding him, the rope on Yu Hongye's body disappeared along with its user.
The thatched hut where he had lived for hundreds of years would one day cease to be his refuge.
It's hard to believe that the diligent and meticulous leader of all demons in the Demon Lord's Palace, who meticulously reviews documents, is the same person as this muddle-headed, carefree guy who occasionally gets drunk and acts crazy.
Yu Hongye retrieved the lonely red silk staff from the table and looked towards the edge of the grassland.
A few hours later, outside the golden birdcage, Yu Hongye, deep in thought, was waiting for someone to come and "have a chat".
Since removing the condition that they were classmates in school, he and Han Chenfeng rarely saw each other again. Apart from the two times when they were in the monster prison and the wood spirit master, the only other time was when Han Chenfeng took the initiative to ask him about Bai Lingshan's favorite foods.
How could he know such things when he was usually busy with various national affairs? So, she told him that he had once given her a big bag of snacks and milk tea. To her surprise, his expression changed instantly, and he turned and left without saying a word of thanks.
He wanted to see if Bai Lingshan would still come looking for him after he released her to the third district of the Ghost Realm.
Sure enough, he came.
However, this time Han Chenfeng seemed to be dressed up for the occasion. The black feather robe representing Xuan Yue's identity was faintly visible under the cloak. Although he covered his face with the cloak hood to prevent being discovered by the people of Jing Kingdom, the two small braids with silver threads on his chest were left unprotected.
Does the phrase "When in Rome, do as the Romans do" end here?
Yu Hongye smiled knowingly, "Since when do people dare to use their true form when they come to Jingguo?"
"Why did you let her go there?" Han Chenfeng didn't explain anything, but just asked in a calm tone.
Yu Hongye smiled for a second, then her expression turned serious: "So you're going there for her? I remember when you got the position of God's successor, you forbade me to go to the Jing Kingdom and the top 100 districts of the Ghost Realm, which you considered thorns in God's side, right?"
Even with this question, Han Chenfeng only asked one question: "Is District Three Liuhua Plain?"
Train 5394 can reach every district of the Ghost Realm, but Han Chenfeng doesn't have Star Coins, so he can't use this convenient and accurate method. Moreover, the Ghost Realm has many districts, and few people can match their names and order to the correct ones.
Seeing Han Chenfeng's determination to go there to find Bai Lingshan, Yu Hongye hesitated.
"Yes, but aren't you afraid that if you go like this, you'll offend God and disqualify yourself?"
Han Chenfeng stopped after taking only a few steps. His entire body was covered by a cloak, revealing no emotion. "The Black Feather Robe can conceal one's aura, and everyone knows that it is Black Feather Xuan Yue, not me."
Yu Hongye fell silent: "What about Bai Lingshan? What will you say if she finds out?"
Han Chenfeng's tone remained steady: "She has never seen me like this before."
"Really?" She raised a straight eyebrow and stared at his steadily standing back for a while. "You underestimate her a bit. Even when I was wearing a mask and didn't know her well, she could recognize me at a glance. You're just a hairy girl."
The body, which had been as stiff as a log, lowered slightly before quickly returning to its original position. "That's you."
His tone was clearly angry, and Yu Hongye gave a forceful "hmm," indicating that he was indeed very concerned about her. "It seems that in your heart, Bai Lingshan is more important than the succession to the Heavenly Lord?"
"And what about you? You unsealed the spirit to find clues, so why are you worried about her?"
Hearing this question for a moment, Yu Hongye was a little taken aback. "When did I worry about her?"
Han Chenfeng raised his head slightly: "Then why do you care where she goes? Is the Chief Administrator of Jing Kingdom so idle that he has to worry about a scapegoat?"
Yu Hongye was stunned and frowned.
In the past, Bai Lingshan was indeed just his scapegoat, but now...
In short, the fact that this matter, which should have been extinct, was being brought up again by others made him very unhappy. He lowered his voice and said, "I think you should watch your words so as not to affect your reputation when you succeed to the throne."
Han Chenfeng snorted coldly, his rebellious nature adding a provocative tone, "Since you say Bai Lingshan is more important, why should I be careful with my words?" "..." Yu Hongye was silent for a long time before saying, "Reasonable."
After that, the "Concealment" talisman emitting white light flew from Yu Hongye's side to Han Chenfeng's side, and the topic came to an end.
But Yu Hongye was also an awkward person, and he would never say that he sent him into hiding because he was afraid that God would find out about him.
"Indeed, I only contacted you because I couldn't go there. Considering that you two would be alone there for half a year, I felt more at ease with you staying in the shadows."
Han Chenfeng accepted the talisman that could make one invisible, but hesitated in his actions.
"Aren't you going to leave? Do you want others to find you?"
Han Chenfeng turned around and showed him his worried expression.
"The news that you saved me using the identity of Huan Yushang has reached the ears of Tianyi King. You must be careful in the future. Also..." He paused, "The murderer who killed your mother that year was Yuan Ji. He is already dead."
"What?" Yu Hongye was shocked.
He hadn't expected Han Chenfeng to bring this up again, but when he thought about how Yuan Ji, whom he had once trained out of boredom, was the murderer of his mother, a hint of suspicion flashed in his thoughtful eyes.
What grudge does Yuanji have against my mother?
But just like that, the door to the golden birdcage house opened with a bang, and Han Chenfeng quickly pulled down the brim of his hat, which revealed his true appearance, and his feet, which had been standing still for a long time, started to move.
"Some things are better left unsaid. I'm leaving now. Next time, remember to find a convenient place to talk."
"What truth?"
Is there more to the story?
Yu Hongye took a step in the direction Han Chenfeng was walking, but Han Chenfeng was walking too fast, so he lost the will to catch up with him and continue asking questions.
At this moment, the group of people who had just come out also began to whisper among themselves:
"What truth? Did you hear me?"
"Keep your voice down, that's a redhead."
"So what if I have red hair? I have blue hair too!"
Perhaps because the group was too noisy, Yu Hongye turned his gaze to them. However, he was a reasonable person and only stared at them for a while before looking away.
"Wow, that scared me!"
"Keep your voice down! What if he's that terrifying supervisor?"
"Oh! I know! By the way, how can that manager, who never dares to show his true face, be so young and fair-skinned?"
"..."
The murmurs continued, but grew fainter. There was no rule against making noise on the streets of Jingguo, so if he wanted peace and quiet, he had to leave on his own.
"I wonder if Rain Ghost found her yet."
Also, before coming here to wait for Han Chenfeng, he went to the Spirit Taming Field. There was a Rain Ghost there that was awake but still locked up and was very interested in Bai Lingshan. So, he released it and let it go there to help her.
