"Where has the high priest gone? I haven't seen him for several days."

"I don't know, but His Majesty didn't react. He must have gone out for something."

"The High Priest is away on a long journey, so why is Your Majesty so happy? How strange!"

"I'm really not used to the High Priest not being around. I used to be happy every day just looking at his face."

"High Priest, please come back soon. We haven't been able to work these days without you."

"Hey, I don't think I've seen Sosai lately. Doesn't he never leave His Majesty's side?"

"Perhaps he was sent by His Majesty to protect the High Priest..."

The two maids who were discussing the high priest in the temple did not know that the person they were talking about was right under their feet.

This is the seventh day since Chu Jun came here.

Ever since he discovered Mo Heng's secret that day, Chu Jun has been staying here. He thought that Mo Heng's condition would get better, but Chu Jun found that he was wrong.

Not only did Mo Heng not get better, but his mood became even more unstable.

Sometimes, when the two of them were clearly still affectionate, Mo Heng would burst into tears for no apparent reason, and would keep apologizing, “I’m sorry, I’m sorry…”

Chu Jun felt that he might not understand Mo Heng. This sensitive and fragile side of him was something Chu Jun had never seen in the God Realm. Perhaps he was protected too well by Mo Yun. Mo Yun might have only shown him the side he wanted him to see.

Chu Yun's love for Mo Heng did not diminish. Instead, she felt happy that she was one step closer to Mo Heng's soul.

Afterwards, Chu Jun began to worry. She had already indulged Mo Heng enough, so why was he still so anxious? Did she have to reveal all her secrets to make him feel at ease?

Chu Jun instinctively knew this shouldn't be the case. He loved his soul, and he loved him in all his fragility. His lover could be strong and reliable, but could also cry in his arms. Chu Jun thought, perhaps because Mo Heng had given him so much love in the past, he wasn't very good at expressing it.

Time may be able to smooth out the past, and time can also prove "I love you".

"Do you love me?"

"Love you."

"I love you too, so I hope you're happy. Can you tell me why you're not happy?"

"...You should be free and not be locked up by me. But if I don't lock you up, you will fly away."

"Then... let's make a pact!"

"What agreement?"

"If I stay with you forever, then you must always believe that I love you. If I break my promise in this life, go to the sun god and complain to him when you get to heaven! I'm a messenger of God, so I'll definitely be in trouble."

"it is good."

"Pull us together."

"Hook?"

"Yes. Just like this. This concludes our agreement, and no one can go back on their word."

Both of them knew in their hearts that this agreement was not binding.

But Mo Heng felt that he could believe it.

If we can't be together in this life, I'll wait for the next. No matter what, you can't escape my grasp. Even if time passes and things change, I won't give up pursuing you. Because I firmly believe that our fate is not limited to this life. Perhaps in the next life, we will meet again in a different identity.

"The High Priest is back~"

"Yes, yes, I think the High Priest is even more beautiful now. Wow! The golden chain on the ankle really matches the High Priest."

"I want to serve the High Priest forever. Ah... I wonder if I can go to heaven after I die. If I can meet the High Priest again, my life will be complete."

"If you open your mind a little more and pursue her directly, we can still be together in the next life. Then I will... hehe"

"Stop drooling. It's been so long since anyone cared about you, and now you've even lost your image."

"The High Priest won't lecture us. As long as His Majesty's men don't see us, it's fine."

"By the way, why hasn't the great prince of the Wensu tribe left yet? I keep seeing him hanging around the temple."

"Really...are you trying to steal the High Priest? No! The High Priest and His Majesty are meant for each other!"

The maids were talking excitedly, adding a touch of liveliness and vitality to the temple.

Earl felt incredibly unlucky lately. Not only had he found no leads on Xiao You, but the high priest had also been missing lately. He was probably avoiding him, and the officials he was discussing with him were subtly urging him to leave... In short, nothing was going his way.

"Your Highness! There's news! There's news about the Little Prince!"

"News about Xiao You? Show it to me!"

"I heard someone once saw a blond boy in the Taiyi tribe, and from the description he looked very similar to the young prince."

"...Tayil tribe, where is this tribe located?"

"It seems that the Taiyi'er tribe was still one of the largest in Mendo last year, but this year it seems that things are not going well and they are not having a good time."

"How did Xiao You end up in this tribe? This news was from half a year ago. There's no guarantee that Xiao You is still there."

"But Your Highness, we finally see hope. This is the only clue we have received in these days."

"First, I'll try to gather information about the Taiyi tribe over the past six months. I'll try to find a way to visit that tribe."

"Your Highness, the Taiyi tribe is west of the ancient river, where the imperial tomb of Mendo is located. We are your people."

"···"

"Or we should seek help from the High Priest of Mendo, Your Highness."

"High Priest?"

"The high priest holds a high position here and is a kind person. If we have him help us, we can also keep those who know about this within a certain range."

"Indeed... As long as it doesn't reach Father's ears, it'll be fine. I'll go to the temple to pay my respects to the high priest later."

The day after Chu Jun returned to the temple, he received a visit from Earl and others.

Originally, Chu Jun thought that the prince was here to chat up again, and was ready to send him away with a few perfunctory words.

But the person Earl mentioned caught Chu Yun's attention.

"Is it a kid with blond curly hair? About 16 years old."

"Yes, sir! Have you seen him? He's about as tall as your shoulders, with blond curly hair and blue eyes, a very handsome boy!"

"I saw him on your Majesty's birthday last year, but he was brought up by someone from the Taiyil tribe..." Chu Jun briefly recounted to Earl what happened at that time.

Earl was a little angry after hearing this. No matter how much Xiao You was disliked by the king, he was still a real member of the royal family. The Taiyi tribe's move was an insult to the royal family.

However, according to Chu Jun's description, Xiao You did not seem to resist at the time, which made Earl very confused.

"Since your prince has been treated unfairly in Mendo's territory, we will naturally not turn a blind eye. I will go with you to the Taiyi tribe to look for him."

"Thank you, High Priest!"

Afterwards, Mo Heng was furious when he learned that Chu Jun was going out with that Earl. However, he did not express his dissatisfaction directly, but chose a unique and cunning way to vent his emotions - under the pretext of jealousy, he successfully made Chu Jun unable to get out of bed.

"Since we've met by chance, of course I have to help. Okay, stop looking so sad. It's not cool anymore." Chu Jun comforted.

"That Earl is going with you too. How can I feel at ease? He has bad intentions!"

"Be good, look how aggrieved you are. I'll be back in a month at most~" He said while touching Chu Jun's head.

"One month..."

Mo Heng agreed reluctantly.

However, a month was still a bit too long for Mo Heng. Finally, the headstrong emperor went on strike, claiming illness, leaving everything to Sosai, and disguised himself as Chu Yun's attendant, sneaking into the traveling group.
