Water Reflects Peach Blossoms

"master!"

Kunlun is empty.

Diefeng and Lingyu, who ran back to Kunlunxu with the help of magic, shouted loudly for their master Mo Yuan before they even reached the main hall.

Xuan Nu, who was passing by, saw the two men in such a hurry, as if something terrible had happened, and asked in confusion, "Big Brother and Ninth Brother...what's wrong with you? What happened?"

Ling Yu was breathing hard.

Diefeng kept walking and said to Xuannv who was following him: "This is a serious matter! I'm going to find my master first!"

Xuannv became even more curious.

She thought it was the Winged Tribe that was attacking, but it was impossible for the Winged Tribe to mobilize such a large force without any prior warning, and it was impossible for Lord Mo Yuan not to know about it!

At this critical moment of the war between the Wing Clan and the Sky Clan, what else could have made the eldest and ninth senior brothers so panicked?

Just as Xuan Nu was pondering, a gentle yet dignified voice came from the entrance of the hall: "Diefeng, Lingyu, why are you so flustered?"

Diefeng, Lingyu and Xuannv walked to the steps of the main hall and saluted Mo Yuan.

Diefeng glanced at Xuannv, thinking that since it concerned Emperor Donghua and Supreme God Zheyan, the fewer people who knew about it, the better.

He said, "Master, please move into the hall. Ling Yu will stand guard outside the hall. No one is allowed to approach, not even my fellow apprentices."

Knowing the seriousness of the matter, Ling Yu immediately accepted the order: "Yes!"

Realizing the importance of what Diefeng was about to say, Mo Yuan immediately walked into the hall.

Ling Yu was guarding outside the hall, and Xuan Nu was naturally stopped outside the hall as well.

Looking at the ninth disciple of Mo Yuan who usually played best with Si Yin and was the easiest to talk to, Xuan Nu stepped forward, her face, resembling Bai Qian, beautiful and charming, and she asked, "Ninth Senior Brother, what happened?"

Ling Yu glanced at her and advised her: "It's not that I don't want to tell you, but this matter can only be known by the master, so you'd better not be curious."

Xuannv: “…”

In the main hall.

As soon as he entered the hall, Diefeng immediately whispered to Mo Yuan, "Goddess Zheyan and the Empress appeared in a small town at the foot of Kunlun Mountain. When Lingyu and I were chasing after the spies sent by the Wing Clan to gather intelligence in Kunlun Xu, we happened to encounter them."

Mo Yuan's expression darkened. "Zhe Yan and Jiang Ruan?"

"Yes." Diefeng was troubled by the next words. He chose the simplest words: "God Zheyan is in love with the empress."

Mo Yuan: "..."

Even Mo Yuan, who never showed his emotions, was startled. He frowned and asked, "Are you sure?"

Diefeng immediately bowed and said, "This matter concerns Emperor Donghua and Supreme God Zheyan. I dare not speak carelessly! I came here to report this to Master only because I know the seriousness of this matter!"

"I know." Mo Yuan was very clear about the character of his disciple.

He thought for a moment and said, "I'm going to go out for a while. When I'm not in Kunlunxu, you guys should strengthen your vigilance and don't let the Wing Clan take advantage of the opportunity to sneak in."

Diefeng accepted the order: "Master, don't worry, I will definitely protect Kunlunxu."

……

He knew that Jiang Ruan didn't want to see him fighting with Donghua for her, causing unrest in the world.

Zheyan sighed, "Even though Donghua is the Emperor, how do you know I can't protect you? As long as I'm here, I will never let you return to the situation you were in in the Heavenly Palace."

"Don't you understand, Lord?" Jiang Ruan remained unmoved. "When two gods fight, the world will be in turmoil!"

"If the God doesn't agree, Jiang Ruan will shed his blood today to repay the God's kindness!"

As she spoke, Jiang Ruan pressed the hairpin against the soft skin of her neck and pushed it in a little further, and a bright red drop of blood immediately slid down.

Zheyan felt heartbroken when he saw this.

The hairpin in Jiang Ruan's hand was made from the most beautiful and soft feathers on his Phoenix body. This hairpin had the ability to protect and eliminate all magic. Even he was unable to cast a spell to control Jiang Ruan who was holding this hairpin and wanted to hurt him.

It’s because the Phoenix Feather Hairpin has already recognized Jiang Ruan as its master.

Zheyan felt extremely regretful that the hairpin he gave to Jiang Ruan to protect her would become a weapon to hurt her!

He explained to Jiang Ruan: "It's not that I don't want to leave you, but only when I'm by your side can you avoid being found by Donghua."

"Ruan Ruan, I have no intention of forcing you! I just want to protect you...Put down the hairpin first. I am willing to swear to the heavens so that you can feel at ease."

"What did you say?" Was it because Zheyan followed and protected her all the way that Donghua couldn't find her?

Jiang Ruan realized something, but he was so excited that he didn't react for a while.

Seeing that Jiang Ruan had listened to what he said, Zheyan was about to continue talking when Mo Yuan suddenly appeared between them.

Witnessing Zhe Yan's undisguised affection for Jiang Ruan, Mo Yuan's heart sank: "Zhe Yan? You..."

Knowing Mo Yuan and knowing his identity, Jiang Ruan tightened her grip on the hairpin.

Mo Yuan reminded Zheyan: "Donghua has been looking for her for a long time. Zheyan, you should always think twice before doing anything."

As he spoke, Mo Yuan looked at Jiang Ruan and noticed the scarlet streak on her neck caused by the hairpin. He frowned slightly and softened his tone, "Miss Jiang, please talk nicely if you have something to say. Don't hurt yourself."

If it was only Zheyan, she might be able to escape, but after seeing Mo Yuan, Jiang Ruan knew that she could not escape.

The final outcome of this matter was that she would return to Taichen Palace, or that Zheyan and Donghua would quarrel over her...

Jiang Ruan didn't want either outcome.

At this point in her life, she should have been old and gray-haired, but she didn't expect that after spending two months in heaven, everything changed when she came down.

Now, her parents have passed away, and Cen Sheng is a heartless and treacherous man. It can be said that her life till now has been a complete failure.

One could even say that before she even had a chance to live, her life had already become extremely bad, a tangled mess that could not be cut off no matter how hard she tried.

Instead of doing this, it’s better to start over.

It also prevented the world from being ravaged by a catastrophe caused by the two gods fighting each other, and made some contribution to all living beings.

"I, Jiang Ruan, never accept my fate, nor will I allow others to control my destiny." Jiang Ruan looked at Mo Yuan and Zhe Yan with a firm gaze, his voice cold, "If you think you are high and mighty gods and can manipulate me at will without asking my wishes, then I would rather die than be free!"

As soon as she finished speaking, she pulled back the hairpin in her hand and then used all her strength to stab it into her neck.

Mo Yuan was startled, but the spell he cast was blocked by the phoenix power emitted by the hairpin in Jiang Ruan's hand.

"Ruan Ruan!" Zhe Yan immediately appeared in front of Jiang Ruan, with bloodshot eyes, and stretched out his hand to stop her from committing suicide.

A powerful divine power came over, and Zheyan was caught off guard and hit by the domineering divine power. He took a few steps back to steady his body.

Mo Yuan also raised his hands to block in front of his eyes, resisting the powerful impact.

After the divine power dissipated...

Drops of purple-gold blood dripped onto the ground.

In the night, the silvery white hair cascaded down under the moonlight.

The thick palm with light calluses pressed against the woman's soft and delicate neck.

While she could feel the warmth of his palm, he could also feel the pulsating arteries beneath her fair skin.

Time seemed to freeze at this moment. It took Jiang Ruan a long time to come back to her senses. She realized what had happened and let go as if she had lost all her strength.
