Yu Haiyuan rarely rolled his eyes to express his speechlessness.

Ji Tong chuckled, touched Yu Haiyuan's shoulder, and said honestly: "I don't know why Zhizhi is so good to me? But I know that in this life and the next life, as long as I am still myself, I will always be loyal to her!"

Ji Tong's face was serious, his voice was firm, and his bright eyes were filled with gratitude and love for Yun Zhixia.

This kind of pure heart that does not involve any interests and is only for one person makes Yu Haiyuan feel a little guilty.

He had been in the royal family for half his life, and his heart had long been blackened by the intrigues and scheming of the royal family and the open and secret struggles in the court. No matter what, it was impossible for him to have such a pure heart.

"What are you talking about?" Yun Zhixia walked over and asked with a smile.

Yu Haiyuan was about to evade the question, but Ji Tong said it quickly: "Nothing? The emperor just asked me why you are so nice to me?"

Yun Zhixia patted his forehead and curled her lips in disdain: "Is that all? You are such a loser."

She smiled and shook her head, turning the question aside.

Yu Haiyuan looked at Ji Tong with envy, then thought of something and started talking.

"Ancestor, tomorrow people from Nanchang, Xiqing, and Beimo will arrive in the capital."

“Is it because of the election in the past decade?”

Yu Haiyuan nodded, his eyes solemn. The four countries hold a general election every ten years. The last one was held in Beimo Country, and this time it was Dongqian Country's turn.

Seeing him so worried, Yun Zhixia glanced at him and said in a cold voice: "Xiao Yuanzi, why are you frowning?"

Yu Haiyuan sighed deeply, "My old ancestor, you don't know that the four-nation election held every ten years is not ordinary. The election results directly affect the distribution of star stones in the next ten years."

"Star Stone?"

"Yes! Star Stone is a rare stone. Only a little bit can be made into a sharp weapon!"

Ji Tong echoed: "I heard Shang Jue say that this kind of star stone is only in Ghost Flower Valley, and it is guarded by people sent by the four countries."

Yun Zhixia raised her eyebrows: "What does the Star Stone look like?"

Yu Haiyuan ordered someone to go to the national treasury, took out a small piece of star stone and handed it to Yun Zhixia.

"Ancestor, look!"

Although the name of star stone sounds nice, it is actually just a piece of stone with a dark red and uneven surface.

Yun Zhixia curled her lips in disdain and threw it back.

"Grandpa, please slow down!"

Yu Haiyuan was startled and quickly put the star stone away.

Yun Zhixia thought about it and asked a fatal question: "What place did Dongqian Kingdom get last time?"

Hearing this, Yu Haiyuan's body stiffened. Just as he was about to laugh it off, he saw Yun Zhixia's sharp eyes.

Helplessly, Yu Haiyuan stretched out his index finger and shook it.

Yun Zhixia asked uncertainly: "First?"

Yu Haiyuan shook his head: "Fourth..."

Yun Zhixia: ...

Ji Tong: ...

Seeing the two people's speechless expressions, Yu Haiyuan touched his nose and said weakly: "Isn't this just to ease the atmosphere?"

Yun Zhixia squinted: "What about the last time?"

Yu Haiyuan lowered his head and said seriously: "The ranking is very consistent. Compared with the last time, we maintained this ranking last time."

very good!

As expected of a king, what he said was so nice!

Phew...

Ji Tong laughed, and his whole body was shaking with laughter.

"Is it funny?"

"funny!"

Yu Haiyuan had a wooden face, glanced at Ji Tong, and continued: "I think Princess Zhiqing's marriage is very good, there is no need to cancel the engagement."

Hearing this, Ji Tong put away her smile, walked to Yu Haiyuan, put her arm around his shoulders, and gave him a flattering smile.

"Look, you're angry now?"

"Don't worry, Zhizhi is here this time, so there will be absolutely no problem."

Finally, Ji Tong added: "At least I won't be fourth!"

The corner of Yu Haiyuan's mouth twitched, and he said with a fake smile: "Thank you!"

"polite!"

Yun Zhixia touched his chin and looked at Yu Haiyuan: "This time I will discuss with Xiao Yeye and strive for both Nanchang and Dongqian to get a good ranking."

Speaking of this, Yu Haiyuan felt a little jealous. He asked, "Grandmaster, you can't be partial! Dongqian Country is your home!"

"Stop showing off here! I will take care of Dongqian Kingdom."

Yun Zhixia glanced at Yu Haiyuan, and without waiting for him to smile, she continued, "But Xiao Yeye is the person I want to be with for the rest of my life, even for all eternity. I will definitely side with him."

Yun Zhixia sighed: "The palms and backs of your hands are all made of flesh!"

Hearing this, Yu Haiyuan glanced at Yun Zhixia strangely and carefully asked the question in his mind.

“Ancestor, it’s Leng Jinye… no, it’s Chi Junyan. He is just a mortal with only a few decades of life. You…”

As soon as these words were spoken, the entire Imperial Garden fell silent, and a chilly and hushed atmosphere filled the air. Even the birds on the trees shut their mouths and flew back to their nests.

The scorching sun shone on Yun Zhixia's body. She turned her back to the two of them, looked up at the sky, and uttered a soft sound.

"It is not a good thing to live too long in this world. As time goes by, everything will be different."

"The one I love is gone, and the one I hate is gone too. In the end, everything is like flowers in the mirror and the moon in the water, which can never be obtained!"

After saying that, Yun Zhixia turned around and looked at the two of them, with too many emotions mixed in his eyes to be understood.

"Zhizhi..."

Ji Tong signed a master-servant contract with Yun Zhixia. At this moment, his heart was beating violently, as if he could feel the sadness and helplessness of his master.

"Okay, why are you guys so serious?"

Yun Zhixia smiled, her delicate facial features were like carved jade, flawless and eye-catching.

She pursed her lips and smiled as she answered Yu Haiyuan's question: "After Xiao Yeye has passed away for a hundred years, I will give him a grand funeral and find a place to sleep for a hundred years and forget all this."

Ji Tong didn't believe it: "Really?"

Yun Zhixia chuckled: "I was just kidding you!"

She put away her smile, looking a little confused: "I don't know what the future will be like. Let's just muddle along!"

At this moment, Yun Zhixia was like an ignorant little girl. She seemed to be standing at a crossroads, with a surging crowd of people, but no one stopped for her.

She almost achieved immortality, but time also imprisoned her!

Yu Haiyuan and Ji Tong looked at each other, and a trace of heartache appeared on their faces.

Is eternal life a blessing or a calamity?

clap clap...

Yun Zhixia clapped her hands, waking them up.

"Don't think about it. At least I'm lucky! I pick peach blossoms in spring, listen to cicadas in summer, watch flowers fall in autumn, and enjoy plum blossoms in winter."

"What a miserable day this is!"

The two nodded in agreement: "That's right, don't think too much."

"It's wonderful to live your life to your heart's content!"

Yun Zhixia got back to the point: "Alright, let's quickly tell us what this election is about. I don't want Dongqian Country to be fourth again this time!"

Ji Tong, the little follower, echoed: "Your Majesty, you say!"
