The sacred tree is about to pass, and the cannon fodder's wish countdown is coming

"I used the points I've accumulated over the past six years to play a game with Your Majesty. Is Your Majesty happy now?"

Lu Shi was silenced. Whenever the issue of points came up, she was always in the wrong.

"I can't go home now. Is your Majesty happy?"

Xie Yue looked at Lu Shi, and his voice was like a sharp knife, stabbing into the chests of both of them at the same time. Not only did his words hurt Lu Shi, but it also stabbed his own heart.

"Your Majesty, to me..." Is there a trace of sincerity in this?

Xie Yue lowered his eyes, feeling endless sadness in his heart.

Look, he is still so useless that he still covets a little bit of her sincerity.

"That's all..."

"I mean it!" Lu Shi understood what he had not yet said and responded impatiently.

She stepped forward, pulled him into her arms, and patted his back gently, her tone gentle.

"At first, I wanted to get close to you with a purpose, but ever since you saved me at the bottom of the cliff, everything I did was sincere."

"Are you serious?" Xie Yue stepped out of her embrace, his eyes red. He suddenly laughed, his voice low and hoarse.

"Your Majesty, isn't it because of that little bit of guilt in your heart?"

Lu Shi was silent.

There is guilt, but also sincerity.

But even she herself didn't know whether her guilt was greater than her sincerity, or her sincerity was greater than her guilt.

"Your Majesty, I no longer want the position of Queen. I no longer care whether Your Majesty is sincere or not. Your Majesty, I also do not want you."

"I will move out of Qiwu Palace immediately. From now on, Your Majesty and I will be strangers."

"Next time we meet, Your Majesty, please don't try to get too close to me."

"I will not be fooled again, my lord."

Xie Yue pushed Lu Shi away and slowly walked out of Chaoyang Palace.

"Xie Yue, what do you want me to do to believe that I am sincere?"

Xie Yue's departing figure paused slightly, and he turned his head to glance at her with the corner of his eye. He could not see Lu Shi's face, but only the corner of her clothes below the waist.

A suppressed voice came from the depths of his throat, as if condensed with ice chips, making people feel cold in their hearts, "Your Majesty, can you let me go home?"

"I want to go home."

He is so tired.

He missed his parents, his few friends, and even those disobedient students.

There is nothing here that makes people nostalgic.

Endless conspiracies, officials with ulterior motives, busy and boring political affairs, and... hypocritical sincerity.

Every second you stay in this world, the more uncomfortable your heart becomes.

But he can't go back.

The progress of the six-year mission has now increased to 50% due to Lu Shi’s cooperation, but after today, will it stagnate at this value again as before?

In the past two months, he had earned a lot of points under the name of landing, and he already had some points. However, after today, he could only earn points by himself, and who knew how many more six years it would take to earn the remaining points.

I can't even stay for a day, let alone several six years.

"Your Majesty, can you find a way to let me go home? If so, I will forgive Your Majesty."

After hearing no response for a long time, Xie Yue sneered and wanted to leave.

He knew she couldn't do it, so what he wanted to say was: he would never forgive her.

"Xie Yue."

Lu Shi's voice suddenly sounded from behind, neither cold nor indifferent.

Xie Yue stopped.

"If you go back, you'll never see me again. So, do you still want to go back?"

"I want to, even in my dreams."

"Can't you stay for me?"

Xie Yue's gaze fell to nothingness, unfocused. "Your Majesty and I will only be strangers from now on. Why should I stay for Your Majesty?"

"Strangers?"

At this moment, the worry on Lu Shi's face was completely torn apart by these four words, revealing his indifference.

"Xie Yue, I remember I told you before that once you put on the red string on your hand, you can't take it off. Just like me, once I got involved, I couldn't get rid of it."

Xie Yue was her mission, why should she let him go?

She is not a kind person.

Xie Yue turned around, his eyes red. He looked at the person before him, but he had never felt so unfamiliar, yet it seemed as if this was her truest appearance.

She looked at him coldly, without any emotion in her eyes, as if she was sure that he could not get rid of her.

"The red string on your hand is the best proof. You still love me, why can't you forgive me and we can be together again."

Xie Yue was almost so angry that he laughed. He looked at the red rope on his wrist and could no longer suppress the anger in his heart.

"Do you think I'm rare?"

He began to tear the red string vigorously, trying to remove it, but the red string seemed to be integrated with him, and no matter how hard he tried, it was still tightly wrapped around his wrist.

Because of the force, the red rope left a noticeable red mark on the wrist, and blood oozed out, as if it was about to sink into the flesh.

"Ruofeng, sword!"

His palm fell on Ruofeng's scabbard, a cold light flashed, and the sharp sword was unsheathed.

The cold light of the sword flashed in everyone's eyes, and Lu Shi felt an inexplicable throbbing in his heart.

The sharp sword blade fell on the thin and soft red line, but it seemed as if it had cut into hard steel bars. The red rope did not move at all, but the bell tied to it made a continuous crisp sound as it swayed.

Seeing that the red rope was still as bright as before after Xie Yue tried several times, Lu Shixin slowly relaxed a little.

But the next second, her heart was lifted again.

Xie Yue's eyes were fierce, "If the red rope can't be broken, then cut off one of the hands, then it will fall off eventually."

He seemed to have lost his mind with anger, and the only thing left in his eyes and heart was the overly bright red rope.

The hands hidden in his sleeves clenched into fists, and his heart felt as if being pricked by a needle. Lu Shi covered his chest in confusion.

Some pain.

It’s strange. Why does it hurt when I’m healthy?

Xie Yue raised his sword, this time aiming at his wrist.

It's not that he is obsessed with getting rid of this red rope, he just doesn't want to live anymore, so it would be better to die by just cutting it off.

He couldn't go back, and he didn't want to stay in this world. Life had no meaning to him anymore.

But before he could make a move, the unbreakable red rope broke without any warning as soon as he finished speaking, as if the string of fate had snapped, and fell to the ground decisively.

The light bell fell to the ground, piercing the silent air and making an extremely crisp sound.

Unlike the subtle and inaudible sounds of the past, the crisp and clear sound echoed in everyone's ears.

At the same time, the bells on the red rope on Lu Shi's wrist seemed to have received some mysterious signal or induction, and all of them made a crisp sound.

The sound lasted for nearly ten seconds and finally disappeared.

It seems that the dust has settled and the ending is clear.

"Are you satisfied now?"

Xie Yue threw the sword in his hand to Ruofeng and left without looking back.

Everyone retreated, including the shadow guards in the dark, and disappeared without a trace.

In the huge palace, Lu Shi was the only one left.

She picked up the broken red rope and stared at it blankly, ignoring the slight unhappiness in her heart. Lu Shi was very puzzled.

Isn’t it said that Yue Lao’s red thread cannot be burned or cut? Why did it break this time?
