Everyone has chosen the demon clan, who would still practice seriously?

Ren Yi said calmly: "I'll go to the front hall later. You should know what to say and what not to say."

Shu Yuan understood that Ren Yi was referring to her injury.

He frowned slightly, his face darkening: "Is this king so untrustworthy?"

He adjusted his sleeves casually: "Things that don't require payment usually require a greater price."

Shu Yuan heard the vigilance in her words and felt a surge of resentment in his heart.

He took a step back, bowed to her, then turned and walked away.

"Wait." Ren Yi stopped him, "Thank you just now. In addition to your protection in the secret realm last time, I already owe you twice."

"I will definitely repay you in the future. I will ask Alan to give you a generous gift later."

Shu Yuan stopped and looked back at Ren Yi with a faint smile on his face.

"Your Majesty, why do you have to play dumb? You know this is not what I want."

Shu Yuan did not stop, left the bedroom and disappeared in the moonlight.

Ren Yi stood up and looked at Alan Wangsu: "Do you also think I'm going too far?"

Alan Wangsu shook his head: "You are our king, no one should influence your thoughts."

Ren Yi chuckled: "Today I realized that you are also a master at playing dumb. You clearly see through it, but you don't say it out loud."

Alan Wangsu lowered his eyelashes and said nothing.

After arranging the crown on his head casually, he slowly said:

"Shu Yuan's attitude changed too quickly. He was just looking at another person through me."

"Besides..." She pointed at the bright moon hanging in the night sky, "This road is lonely."

"I have to go on alone."

There was a long silence.

Ren Yi slowly opened his mouth and said, "Where is Hu Yanluo Liuguang?"

"He was gone when we came back." Alan Wangsu put a handful of ashes on a plate and showed it to her, "This is all that's left."

"It's the residue left after the clone burned."

Ren Yi frowned slightly, "I imprisoned his soul. Originally, he couldn't escape, but before Prince Wan died, he must have used some forbidden technique to exchange their souls."

"He traded his life for Liu Guang."

Ren Yi waved his hand: "But even if he escapes, his cultivation will not be able to recover more than one-third of its original level."

"And..." Ren Yi chuckled, "I left a gift on his soul."

"Where is Prince Shi?" Ren Yi asked.

Alan Wangsu: "ran away."

Prince Shi was a fence-sitter. When he saw that something was not right, he took advantage of the battle between Renyi and Prince Wan to turn around and run away.

Ren Yi narrowed his eyes and said, "The monk may escape but the temple cannot. I will go find him."

"Let's go and check out the lobby."

…………

Shu Yuan did not return to the main hall, but walked to the bridge beside the lake in Youhuang Palace.

The three Ye siblings have already prepared the desk here.

A pot of wine and two wine glasses.

A few exquisite dishes and two sets of bowls and chopsticks.

Ye Jian stretched his neck and said, "My Lord, didn't the King come with you?"

Ye Dun rolled his eyes and covered Ye Jian's mouth with his hand.

If it comes, will they still not be able to see it?

Moreover, the master's dark face already explained everything.

Ye Bing said after careful consideration: "The Lord burned his soul last time to rush into the secret realm, and he was guarding the King on the cliff for many days..."

"My Lord, can't you be selfish for once and use these to exchange for a chance with the King?" Ye Bing frowned, "If you don't let her go back to the clan with you, she will never remember you!"

Shu Yuan sat down, picked up the wine on the table and drank it all.

"I did everything willingly. She never begged me."

Ye Jian pulled away Ye Dun's hand that was covering his mouth:

"My Lord, are you sure that the Demon King is the one who keeps appearing in your dreams?"

Shu Yuan's eyes paused, and the scenes in front of him began to overlap again.

It is a scene that has been repeated thousands of times since I was a child.

He supported the blood-covered woman as she walked towards the dark river.

The only sounds in my ears were the woman's heavy breathing and the sound of the rushing river water hitting the stone wall.

"Sister, sister, what's wrong with you? Don't die. Don't leave me alone."

Even though she was covered in blood, the woman still had a smile on her face, looking calm and composed.

"No, this is someone else's blood. I just wasted some energy and am a little tired."

"Well, take out your zither and go to the lake to play for your sister."

"Sister needs to sleep for a while, maybe seven days or eight days. I won't let you look back, so don't look back."

"I'll come and call you when I wake up, okay?"

He watched himself take out the zither from the storage ring, sat by the lake with his back to the woman, and began to play the zither with trembling fingers.

The woman's voice became increasingly vague:

"I have cast a barrier here, so there will be no danger. You must remember, don't stop, keep playing, understand?"

"Also, you must not look back, promise me!"

"He" nodded heavily, and the sound of the piano began to sound bit by bit.
