Qin Yu stopped and opened her thin lips lightly, “Xun Ling.”
Xun Ling responded and walked towards Qin Yu. Qin Yu’s expression was calm, showing no emotion at all, while Jiao Yi frowned slightly at the side.
“What is the Emperor doing here this time?” Qin Yu went straight to the point.
Xun Ling was about to open his mouth to say something, but Qin Yu said again, “Look at my memory, what else can the Emperor be doing here? Of course he is here to warn me not to approach Lin He again, right?”
“No.” Xun Ling looked at Qin Yu’s crow black hair that was streaming down because he turned his head slightly, and his heart trembled but then fell into a trough because of Qin Yu’s guess.
Qin Yu raised his eyebrows slightly, quite surprised. Xun Ling stared at him, clenched his fists and then loosened them. He was speechless for a long time. Seeing that Qin Yu was getting impatient, he took a deep breath and said, “I’m here to apologize to you. What I said last time was a bit harsh.”
“You are doomed to be lonely in this life, and the person you love is destined not to love you”, it turned out that in Xun Ling’s consciousness, these words were just a little harsh. Qin Yu sneered in his heart, this person still feels so superior.
After finishing speaking, Xun Ling watched Qin Yu nervously. At this moment, he was like a prisoner waiting to be executed on the execution ground, his heart was beating really fast as he was expecting the judge to spare his life. But Qin Yu was always calm, his expression has not changed from the beginning to the end.
Xun Ling panicked, he thought, could it be that Qin Yu didn’t accept his apology?
In fact, from the moment Qin Yu stepped into the Immortal Realm, he sensed his aura. In the beginning, he endured his temper and didn’t go to him, until the moment Qin Yu came out of Lin He’s mansion, he couldn’t wait to show up and the purpose was to apologize to him. Ever since the Lantern Festival in the Human World, he has been dreaming non-stop since he went back. In his dreams, there are different scenes of Qin Yu, Qin Yu running to him in the snow, Qin Yu calling him brother and Qin Yu holding a plum to give to him. The way it was handed over…
Every time he wakes up from a dream, he will be swallowed by the boundless emptiness.
Later Xun Ling thought that he was indeed too harsh on Qin Yu. Qin Xuan’s death cannot be blamed on him, because Qin Yu would have died if Qin Xuan was not dead. It’s not that he doesn’t understand the truth but he has been subconsciously ignoring it. After all, who made him owe Qin Xuan? Then, in order to make up for the debt, he owed another person and said something to him that was no less than a curse.
“You…If you can’t accept my apology now, I can wait, and at the same time, I will do my best to make up for it.” Xun Ling watched the indifferent Qin Yu as his throat tightened. He didn’t know what to do for a while, he could only think of making up for his words.
Qin Yu finally reacted. He snorted slightly, “Dijun stands too high, that’s why he has the idea that an apology can lightly cover up his mistakes, but there is no such good thing in the world.”
“I…” Compensation is impossible. Before finishing this sentence, Xun Ling heard Qin Yu say, “As for compensation, I believe that the Emperor will not understand the truth, that it is hard to recover a regret. It is better not to cross the line in the first place than to make up for it afterwards.”
“What do you want me to do?” Qin Yu can be said to have blocked all his paths and Xun Ling couldn’t think of any other solution.
“Then…” Qin Yu raised his lips. This was the first time he showed a different expression since Xun Ling appeared. With a smile, he said, “Then I’ll return the words to Dijun exactly.”
Regardless of Xun Ling’s face turning pale, Qin Yu said word by word, “In this life, you are doomed to be lonely, and the person you love is doomed to not love you.”
People are always responsible for their own actions and the moment they hurt others, they must be prepared for retaliation.

The springs in the demon world are flowing, the vegetation is luxuriant and the clouds are lingering. Everywhere in this place is full of vitality. But the strange thing is that there is not even a bird song to be heard around.
“It should be here, right?” Jia Yi has never been to the demon world, so he couldn’t figure out whether he came to the right place. His eyes scanned the surrounding environment and he couldn’t help rubbing his arms. He always felt that there was something weird here.
“No mistake, this should be the place.” The man mentioned Luochuan—the place where the jasmine grass grows. Lu Meng touched the trunk of a tree and said, “The reason for the silence is probably because there are monsters around here.”
It is common sense that all treasure flowers and plants are guarded by monsters.
Jia Yi was surprised, he knew his own strength well, “Let’s look for it quickly and go back as soon as we find it. We can’t die here.”
**********
“I want to take a bath.” As soon as he returned to Chengming Palace, Qin Yu asked for a bath.
“Your Highness, wait a moment, I’ll send someone to prepare right away.” Jiao Yi diligently obeyed his every order.
*********
“Go and inform Xianjun, we have something important to tell him.”
Seeing these two people again, the servant rolled his eyes, he didn’t even want to go in and report, anyway, Xianjun’s reply would only be the same, he won’t see them.
Seeing that he was not paying attention, Lu Meng became angry in an instant. He took a step forward, lifted his collar, gritted his teeth and said, “Just go and say, this matter is about Mo Lin, Xianjun will see us.”
“It’s about Mo Lin?” Lin He stood up abruptly, with a surprised expression.
“The two immortals really said so.” The servant didn’t know who Mo Lin was, he just saw that Lu Meng and Jia Yi were indeed anxious, as if there was something really important, so he came in to report. He didn’t expect Xianjun’s reaction to be so strong, he doesn’t know who Mo Lin is.
After getting an affirmative answer, Lin He immediately issued an order, “Bring them in immediately!” It was about Mo Lin and he didn’t dare to take it lightly.
“Xianjun.” The two of them had to salute as soon as they entered the door.
“Forget it, hurry up and tell me what’s the matter?” Lin He urged them impatiently.
“Yes, I accidentally heard the news that someone else caused Mo Lin’s injury. The murderer we found back then was actually a scapegoat.”
The armrests underneath Lin He’s arms were all turned into powder, “Where did you hear the news? Who is the real murderer?”
Jia Yi immediately took over, “Xianjun, listen to us carefully…”
It turned out that when the two of them were picking the jasmine grass and were about to leave, they lost their way and entered another forest. In that forest, there were faint shadows of the army. They were afraid of being caught as spies, so they immediately found a place to hide, planning to wait until there was no one left before going out, but they heard a big secret while hiding.
The person who spoke was an unremarkable man. He told people that he had shot a person under the order of His Royal Highness. He thought that person would be some kind of big shot, but it turned out to be a half-demon with the blood of the snake clan. And the prince did not let him kill the person completely, instead told him to leave a trace of life for that half-demon, and find someone to act as a substitute for afterwards…
The man didn’t describe it in detail, but Lu and Jia still guessed who the half-demon he was talking about was because everything was very similar to what happened to their friend – Mo Lin.
“How could this happen?!” After hearing what they said, Lin He collapsed on the ground in a daze, and he grabbed the carpet with his fingers, with a look of resentment.
He was distressed not only because he didn’t protect Mo Lin well, but also because he didn’t catch the real murderer.
As for why he didn’t doubt the authenticity of this news, one is that he hid Mo Lin’s news so well that few people knew about it. Except for the person involved, who would know so clearly. And the news was overheard by Lu Meng and Jia Yi. Second, and most importantly, he felt that something was wrong with Qin He a long time ago.
Why is the finger pointing at Qin He?
His Royal Highness, there is only one His Royal Highness in the entire Demon Realm, so who else could it be if not Qin He? As for why he’s sure it’s Qin He, he remembered that when Qin He found himself, he said, I know that the person you like is seriously injured and will die soon, and I happen to know a life-saving magic weapon. It just so happens that I also have something to ask for, and we can just cooperate and both get what we need.
Now that he thinks about it, there are really strange things hidden everywhere, but he was too worried about Mo Lin at that time so he didn’t think much about it, when he found a straw, he didn’t let it go. It’s really ridiculous now, I’m afraid Qin He started eyeing him very early. Qin He first sent someone to severely injure Mo Lin and then told him that the dragon pill could save a life, and encouraged him to gouge out Qin Yu’s dragon pill while he reaps the benefits of the fisherman.
Rather than taking pains to solve Qin Yu, Qin He only needs to move his fingers and he will naturally do the rest.
“It’s a good plan, it’s a good plan!” Lin He raised his head and laughed, but at the same time, tears flowed from his eyes, his expression was extremely distorted, not like a fairy, but instead like a being haunted by demons.
*********
Qin Yu was in the steam-filled bath with a relaxed expression, “Lin He should thank me. If I hadn’t sent someone to tell him the truth, he would still be in the dark, don’t you think so, Jiao Yi.”
“Yes, Your Highness is good.” Jiao Yi’s expression was still indifferent, but his tone was quite sincere.
Qin Yu couldn’t go on talking. If he didn’t know his unrestrained character, he would have thought he was joking. Obviously, Jiao Yi is not joking, he really thinks so.
Really loyal, Qin Yu rested his chin, looked at the well-dressed Jiao Yi standing beside the bath and thought, according to the words I learned in other worlds, Jiao Yi can be called a loyal dog.
He was in a good mood and a thought popped into Qin Yu’s mind. He covered his lips with his hands, smiled faintly, then lowered his hands and said, “Jiao Yi, come and help me get dressed.”
Jiao Yi heard that and didn’t think much of it since he is not unfamiliar with this matter. He first took the clothes from behind the screen with a piece of dry cloth, then walked to the side of the bath, bent down and waited for Qin Yu to get up so he could dry his body for him, with a respectful gesture.
Drops of water slid down Qin Yu’s cheeks. He looked at Jiao Yi and asked, “Have you ever felt resentment towards me?”
“Of course not, Your Highness” With a change in his expression, his eyelashes trembled slightly.
Qin Yu got up from the water and approached Jiao Yi, “As one of the leaders of the Demon Realm, you have always stayed by my side, handling all the big and small things for me.” Then, he pointed to the cloth in Jiao Yi’s hand, “You still have to take care of me in my daily life, so you really don’t resent me at all?”
“I feel no resentment, because it is my duty to serve His Highness.” Jiao paused, and then said to Qin Yu, “Jiao Yi exists just for His Highness.”
Qin Yu moved his fingertips and thought to himself, it’s a foul, how could he have the nerve to proceed with the next thing?
But he still planned to give it a try, “Okay, maybe my words are too harsh, let me put it another way. Have you ever been angry with me?”
“No.” Jiao Yi replied.
It’s over, you might be going to get angry soon. The system that had been eavesdropping secretly thought. Although he didn’t know what the host was going to do next, he still had a hunch.
