Warm my heart

What's more, Runyu did appear near Qiwu Palace that night, which made the gods even more convinced of his suspicion.

Runyu was truly wronged: "To answer the emperor, I did go to Qiwu Palace that night."

The eyes of the Emperor and Empress became increasingly cold, and it was obvious that they were inclined to put the blame on Runyu.

At this moment, Suihe suddenly stepped forward and said coldly: "Emperor of Heaven, Suihe has something to say. Suihe was also present that night. On the way back to Xuanji Palace, we encountered a man in black with extremely high skills. He exchanged several moves with Runyu.

Runyu was also injured. The man in black fled towards Qiwu Palace, and Runyu immediately went to report to Lord Liaoyuan. However, Lord Liaoyuan did not believe us and refused to let us in to check on Xufeng.

Sui He looked directly at the Emperor of Heaven with a sharp gaze: "If Runyu is guilty, then how can this matter be blamed entirely on him? If Lord Liaoyuan had paid a little more attention at the time, Xu Feng's plot might have been avoided long ago."

Suihe's words were not only straightforward but also sharp. She bluntly pushed part of the responsibility onto the heavens, especially Lord Liaoyuan's negligence, which made the situation even more complicated.

Runyu added calmly, "Father Emperor, firstly, Runyu practices water magic and cannot get close to the Nirvana Fire. Secondly, I was indeed ambushed by the people of the land that night. Although the enemy used ice spikes, he seemed to be unafraid of fire.

The Emperor's gaze finally fell on Runyu's injured arm. Seeing the obvious burns on it, his brows furrowed, and a hint of concern appeared in his tone: "The injury is so serious, why didn't you report it earlier?"

Runyu lowered his head slightly, his tone still calm but respectful: "Runyu dare not let the emperor worry about me."

A complex emotion flashed in the Emperor's eyes, and his expression eased slightly.

Then, he glanced at Lord Liaoyuan with a cold gaze, and said with authority in his tone, "Lord Liaoyuan, did Runyu report to you that night?"

Lord Liaoyuan's expression was gloomy. He lowered his head and replied, "Your Majesty, it is indeed so. I have failed in my duty and failed to take His Majesty Runyu's report seriously. Please punish me, Your Majesty."

The Emperor was silent for a moment. Although he did not blame anyone, the dissatisfaction in his eyes was obvious.

The Queen Mother still refused to let Runyu go easily and wanted to put the blame on him.

Suddenly, a voice announced from outside the palace: "His Highness the God of Fire has arrived!"

When the Queen heard that Xu Feng had returned, her brows instantly lit up with joy. She quickly stood up, walked down the hall quickly, and came forward with a look of concern on her face. She held Xu Feng's hand tightly and looked at him anxiously: "Feng'er, you are finally back!"

Although Xu Feng felt a little uncomfortable, he still smiled slightly to indicate that he was fine.

He came to the main hall, saluted the Emperor of Heaven, and then testified for Runyu, describing in detail how he was attacked that night and trying to prove that Runyu was not the murderer.

When the Queen Mother saw Xu Feng testifying for Runyu, although she felt unwilling, she had to give up for the time being.

Seeing that she could not determine Runyu's guilt, the Queen Mother wanted to appoint Xufeng as the crown prince.

The Emperor of Heaven certainly wouldn't agree to this and temporarily held off on appointing a crown prince, citing the instability of the demon world.

But then he got slapped in the face and immediately reported that the 100,000-strong army of the Demon Realm had withdrawn from Wangchuan.

The Queen Mother was so happy that she kept praising Xu Feng for scaring away 100,000 demon soldiers and immediately gave him credit.

The God of Fire Xufeng didn't want to do that, so the Emperor of Heaven directly rejected the proposal, and the Emperor of Heaven immediately felt relieved.

Xuanji Palace

Suihe gently held Runyu's hand, her fingertips glowing slightly. She whispered, "Is this why you haven't wanted to be cured?"

Runyu looked down at her hands, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, but that smile was a bit bitter, "Well, thank you for troubling Sui Sui."

He slowly closed his eyes, as if recalling some past events.

Ever since he learned of Xu Feng's disappearance, Runyu had a vague premonition that the Mother Goddess would put pressure on him again for Xu Feng.

After all, such situations are not uncommon. As long as Xu Feng suffers even the slightest harm, the Mother Goddess will blame him regardless of everything and put all the faults on him.

"Sui Sui, I've actually gotten used to it." His voice was low and calm, as if he had already seen through the vicissitudes of fate. "Mother Goddess..."

Suihe sighed softly, feeling the coolness of Runyu's palm, and she felt mixed emotions.

She knew that Runyu suffered much more pain than he showed, but he always endured it silently and never shared it with others.

"Ayu, no matter what happens, I will be by your side." Suihe said firmly, her eyes full of tenderness and determination.

Runyu opened his eyes and looked at her, the warmth in his eyes spreading throughout his body: "Well, having you here is enough."

As Xu Feng entered the room, he saw Runyu and Suihe standing very close to each other. The tacit understanding and tenderness between them made him feel a little jealous. He was slightly startled, but then he felt relieved and a smile appeared on his lips.

"Brother, it seems like you should marry your sister-in-law home as soon as possible."

This sentence instantly made the atmosphere in the room become subtle.

Runyu and Suihe let go of each other's hands almost at the same time. Suihe's face quickly flushed, and her cheeks were so embarrassed that they seemed to be dyed by the sunset.

She explained in a panic: "I, I was just treating Ayu's injury."

Runyu was originally a little embarrassed by Xufeng's teasing, but when he saw Suihe's shy look, he couldn't help but chuckle.

That smile was full of doting, as if all the awkwardness was instantly resolved.

Xu Feng pretended to be calm, walked forward, and asked with concern: "Brother, how is your injury?"

Runyu came back to his senses, his smile still lingering, and he replied gently, "It's nothing serious. Sui Sui has cured it for me."

Seeing this, Xu Feng immediately realized that he was a complete "light bulb".

He shook his head and smiled, then turned around and made to leave: "Well, well, it seems I came at a bad time and disturbed you."

Runyu wanted to keep Xufeng to chat with him as they hadn't been together for a long time, but Xufeng waved his hand casually with a relieved smile on his face.

When Jin Mi was wandering around Qiwu Palace, she suddenly saw a little white fox.

She loved its fluffy appearance and couldn't help but squat down and stroke it a few times. The fox squinted its eyes and enjoyed it, seemingly not paying any attention to her touch.

However, the next moment, a white light flashed, and the little fox turned into a young man in a red robe.

His handsome face was filled with a hint of playfulness, and he raised an eyebrow and said, "I have lived for so many years, and today I have finally been 'molested' for once. I feel very comforted."

Jin Mi was confused and puzzled: "What does 'molest' mean? Why did they say he was molested?"

Just as she was wondering, the young man in red stepped forward excitedly and raised his voice, "Which fairy child are you from? What's your name?"

Jin Mi stared at him with wide eyes, confused.
