I was forced to leave the world of immortal cultivation after being transformed into a loser.
Chapter 411 The Price Is Too High
She evaded the question, "Wuwei's chess skills have not improved in ten thousand years. I can't embarrass myself in front of the Heavenly Emperor. Even if I force myself to play chess with him, I'm afraid he won't be satisfied."
The Emperor of Heaven raised his eyebrows and looked at her, knowing that she had changed after returning to heaven this time.
"Never mind, let's have some tea."
The tea here at Tiandi is excellent and hard to come by, so Gu Liyue readily agreed.
The Emperor of Heaven picked up the teapot and poured tea slowly.
Gu Liyue stared at the tea as she heard the Emperor ask, "Why was Wuwei captured and taken to the Demon Realm back then?"
She raised her head and her gaze reluctantly moved from the teacup to the face of the Emperor of Heaven. She looked at his face, but could not tell anything from it.
I knew he would always ask, but I didn't expect him to be so straight to the point. Of course, he is the Emperor of Heaven, so I still have to tell him some things.
"At the time, I thought the operation was foolproof, but I never imagined that we would be ambushed wherever we went. The number of demon soldiers wasn't large, but they always managed to place them where the earth and heaven soldiers would pass."
"I've fought so many battles with the demons, and nothing like this has ever happened before. I grew increasingly frightened as the battle wore on, but I was powerless to reverse the situation back then. I had to make other plans and was no longer able to pursue the matter."
Finally, after watching him finish pouring the tea, Gu Liyue picked up the tea placed beside her, blew on it, and took a sip. She closed her eyes, as if enjoying it, but also as if reminiscing.
The voice became distant: "Ten thousand years have passed. Is it useful to ask these questions?"
As a god of war, dying on the battlefield was her best fate, though being captured and killed was also a good option. She did not bring shame upon the title of god of war, nor did she betray the Heavenly Court in order to survive.
When I opened my eyes again, the vision was clear as day.
The Emperor of Heaven also took a sip of tea. "Back then, someone reported to me that the Heavenly Army was almost annihilated because Wuwei was a traitor. It wasn't until I heard from the spies that Wuwei had fallen, and the Heavenly Court's defenses hadn't been exposed, that I suddenly realized the truth."
"Who is that person?" Gu Liyue's face was stern, and then he said quietly, "Sure enough, the Emperor of Heaven still doesn't believe in Wuwei!"
Wuwei drank up the tea in the cup, added another cup for himself, and then refilled the cup for the Emperor of Heaven.
"That person also mysteriously disappeared not long afterward, and his whereabouts remain unknown to this day." He then explained, "One should govern accordingly. As the Emperor of Heaven, although this was not my original intention, I am responsible for the people of the Celestial Realm. What happened back then was extremely bizarre, so we must be extremely cautious and verify every possibility."
Gu Liyue smiled bitterly, "You did the right thing, Heavenly Emperor. If it were me, I couldn't do any better. It's just that I trusted the rear too much back then, which is why I was betrayed by a villain. I wonder if they found out anything back then?"
She hoped that the Emperor of Heaven could find out the truth and clear her name. Although she had not been convicted of any crime by the Emperor of Heaven, since someone had reported her, she could use it as a rumor-refuting measure.
The Emperor of Heaven still had an expressionless face. "Now, various forces are ready to make a move again. You have returned at the perfect time. You will have to reap the fruits of your actions from the past."
Gu Liyue looked incredulous, but she also knew that now that things had come to this point, she couldn't shirk her responsibility.
It's still not clear yet? It's been so long, the Emperor of Heaven can really wait!
"Is there going to be another war in the Demon Realm?"
“This time, it seems like there’s more than just one!”
"I'm in the heavenly realm now, but I'm unfamiliar with the place. There's no one I can use, no one I can use." Gu Liyue refused again.
"I heard that you went to Suzaku Palace yesterday."
Gu Liyue stopped talking immediately. The best way to chat with the Emperor of Heaven who had eight hundred minds was to remain silent, but that was impossible.
It’s not shameful to go find Xuanhuo anyway, so just say it directly.
"I haven't told you how I've been spending the past ten thousand years, or how I planned my return."
This time, a hint of interest finally appeared on the Emperor's face.
He knew that as an ancient god, he always had some means to save his life, so even though it was extremely difficult, he still returned.
Gu Liyue then briefly recounted her experiences over the past ten thousand years and what happened back then.
After listening to this, the Emperor of Heaven praised him: "When it comes to quick wit, you're the best. But the price is too high. If you miscalculate any part, you won't be able to recover."
In fact, he also knew that if she had no other choice, she would not have resorted to such a desperate measure. Fortunately, fortunately!
"Who else in the heavens have you told about this?"
Gu Liyue stared intently into the Emperor's eyes, but still couldn't discern anything. She could only slowly utter two words: "Xiao Luo."
The Emperor of Heaven sneered: "Tsk, you are quite clever."
"I think it's already in the past, so it doesn't matter if I say it out loud..."
The Emperor stood up, and Gu Liyue quickly poured a cup of tea, drank it all in one gulp, and stood up as well.
I heard his voice coming over faintly: "Just be sensible."
This means that I should step down! But I haven't talked about Xuanhuo and Qingxiao yet!
"Emperor of Heaven, where did Suzaku and Azure Dragon go?" He couldn't help but ask.
"They are in the service of this emperor and have no time to see you at the moment." He said indifferently.
Hearing what the Emperor of Heaven said, Gu Liyue felt relieved. As long as there were no accidents, it would be fine.
It’s just that Wuwei was a little angry. He wanted her to work but didn’t give her anyone else: “Then I will go back to Xuantian Palace to recuperate.”
"Xuantian Palace?"
"I changed the name of Tianchi Xiaozhu. This name is too small, not even worthy of a villa of the Emperor of Heaven. This place is returned to me, so of course I have to choose the name."
The Emperor of Heaven knew that the Concubine of Heaven was unhappy because he gave her the small building at Tianchi to stay in.
Isn't he making the best use of it? He always wants to balance his harem. Is he going to let the Tianchi Lake sit there for ten thousand years, gathering dust, without using it?
"Is Wuwei satisfied with the palace that this emperor had built?"
"It's okay! I think it's a little small. If friends come to visit in the future, the place will be a little smaller."
He looked at her with a half-smile: "What friends can you have?"
"Why can't I have friends?"
It's funny to see her sticking her neck out. Yes, she is more down-to-earth and lively now, so she may be able to make friends.
He waved his hand and asked her to leave.
Gu Liyue retreated and walked to the door of the hall. She saw Shouzhong standing there with Princess Wenjun standing next to him.
Seeing Gu Liyue coming out, she took a step forward and said, "God Wuwei, are God Xiaoluo's pears delicious? Could you pick one for me to try?"
Gu Liyue's face showed a look of surprise. She didn't expect Wenjun to come to her to ask for pears. Didn't the pears have any special effects? Didn't they have to be eaten? She would rather go to such great lengths to ask her for them.
It seems that she wants more than just pears!
Her face was cold and expressionless: "Wan Guo Yuan has its own rules, and Xiao Luo has his own rules. I can't help you."
