Female lead: No, it's me again??

Chapter 343 Is it because of this?

Gongzi Qi pondered, "Perhaps it's because I know too much, or perhaps it's due to my cultivation method, that I have a relatively quiet temperament."

This is the truth.

This answer...

The wind blows silently.

inside the house.

"Ah Li, you still haven't said whether you agree or not?"

Hongyue looked at the little girl who was deep in thought and patiently asked her a question.

Xuan Li hesitated for a long time before finally agreeing.

"Okay, I promise you I won't fall in love with anyone else until I've figured out what happened before. But I hope that we can start moving back to being just friends from now on."

Whether he genuinely didn't mind or was just pretending to be magnanimous, she understood that this was the best outcome for today.

From now on, I'll just take it one step at a time.

normal friend?

We're still friends, at least.

Hongyue thought optimistically.

He agreed, "Okay."

The man agreed quickly, unlike his domineering demeanor back in Lingmeng Star Sea, which made Xuan Li feel strange.

Gongzi Qi's arrival interrupted her thoughts.

"Red Moon, there are some things you need to know."

He thought for a moment, then added, "About Miss Xuanli."

Despite her inner desire to refuse, Hongyue could only walk out the door after hearing that it was related to Ali.

Feng Siyue took advantage of the break to come in and said worriedly,

"Ah Li, are you alright?"

Clever as she is, she probably knows what Xuan Li is talking about.

Xuan Li smiled.

"It's okay, he won't hit me."

"Then you..."

Xuan Li shrugged. "Just friends."

Upon hearing the word "friend," Xuan Li felt a sense of relief for some reason.

She paused for a moment, then suddenly realized that, emotionally, she might now be more inclined towards the past.

Outside, Gongzi Qi briefly summarized Xuan Li's situation in a few sentences.

"Divine punishment? How is that possible?"

Red Moon's pupils contracted sharply!

"Your Highness, are you kidding me?"

But he also knew clearly that His Highness never joked.

"You can verify it yourself."

As soon as he finished speaking, the man turned around and went into the house.

The young man watched his retreating figure and sighed softly.

Xuan Li saw him come in, his expression still quite unpleasant, and asked,

"what happened?"

The man stopped in front of her, his voice full of heartache, "Ah Li, why didn't you tell me that you were burdened with divine punishment?"

Xuan Li blinked and smiled nonchalantly, "This isn't a big deal, why would I tell you?"

"Moreover, Qingqing said that unless the Heavenly Dao is restored and the gods intervene, the Heavenly Punishment on me will continue to exist."

"Telling you would only cause more trouble."

Unexpectedly, Hongyue squatted down and grabbed her hand, saying earnestly, "Ali, you're not a problem."

Xuan Li listened, but instinctively pulled back when he touched her left hand. "But that's just how it is."

The girl's nonchalant expression left him speechless for a moment.

Wasn't she afraid of death?

The warmth in his palm disappeared, but the man didn't mind. Instead, he raised his hand and patted her head, making a promise.

"Ah Li, I will definitely find a way."

Hongyue got up and, without waiting for Xuanli to speak, quickly walked out the door.

He brushed past Young Master Qi, who was standing by the persimmon tree.

The young man called out to him, "Red Moon."

The man paused slightly, his eyes revealing his determination. He transmitted his voice, "Your Highness, I will send a message to Sha Ling to come over. Don't stop me from doing this."

Gongzi Qi sighed, "Are you all alright?"

Red Moon fell silent.

The young man already knew the answer.

“Red Moon, you should know what happens to those who are targeted by divine punishment.”

“Xuan Li’s survival is enough to show how extraordinary she is. I know what you want to do, but looking at all the ancient books in the palace, there is no record of lifting the heavenly punishment.”

"My father will not have one either."

Given Hongyue's personality, how could she possibly stand by and watch Xuanli's soul be scattered?

But there's no way around it.

Unless the path to heaven is rebuilt, and he becomes the legendary true god.

There may be a glimmer of hope.

Hongyue's fists clenched slowly, his eyes gradually turning bloodshot. "Your Highness, I know all that you're saying, but I can't just watch her grow weaker!"

Ah Li, is this why you want to get rid of me?

Such a delicate young girl, she didn't even have a chance to see the prosperity of Zhongzhou before she was about to be tortured to death!

He cannot accept this outcome!

"So, you want to force them to comply?"

"Yes."

"You know, no one can hurt them."

The man's clenched knuckles turned white.

At that moment, he suddenly felt a sense of powerlessness, a feeling he hadn't experienced in thousands of years.

Gongzi Qi walked to his side, "Qinghe and Luozhou are opportunities."

Having said that, Gongzi Qi stopped there and said no more.

Emotions can make people lose their rationality, their ability to analyze the situation, and can make a person unlike themselves.

at this point……

He had seen it in his father many years ago.

For some reason, a pair of eyes flashed into Gongzi Qi's mind, a pair of... hopeful eyes.

He felt dejected.

Friendship, too.

Hongyue finally took that step, but it was only because she wanted to "find out what happened that day."

Young Master Qi agreed, "Go."

Faced with the helplessness of his beloved's impending death, Gongzi Qi could advise him not to waste his time mindlessly, but he could not stop him from venting his anger.

If he were the one in today's situation, perhaps...

Generally the same.
