2394 I Gave You This Name
Hong Yao and Tuan Zi quickly arrived at the Heaven Gate.
At this point, it was as cold as usual. Only a figure stood with his hands behind his back—it was Wu Yao.
He looked up at the Heaven Gate with tightly-knitted brows. This Heaven Gate… I have looked at it for many days, and it doesn’t seem very right. Also, my hands feel itchy. Even I’m impressed by myself. Isn’t it just a broken door? What is there to care about?
But every time he decided to go, he would falter and continue staying here.
From arriving at the Fantasy Divine Palace till now, Wu Yao had stayed here for quite a few months.
He was conflicted for some time before he tentatively stretched out his hand. But before he touched the Heaven Gate, there was suddenly some sound from behind.
Wu Yao immediately retracted his hand and alertly turned around.
When he saw the incoming person, he instantly heaved a sigh of relief. “Tuan Zi, why are you here?”
As he spoke, he turned his gaze and saw a green sparrow beside Tuan Zi. This is…
“Hong Yao?!” Wu Yao was instantly taken aback.
But before he realized what happened, Tuan Zi had already run over. “Brother Wu Yao! Move quickly!”
Wu Yao instinctively took a step back and hurriedly reminded, “Tuan Zi, wait a moment. There’s—”
Bam!
Tuan Zi hit the transparent barrier. She staggered a few steps back and fell onto the floor.
“…a barrier.”
Tuan Zi rubbed her head and stood up.
Wu Yao then saw her appearance and could not help but be shocked. “Tuan Zi, your hair… What’s wrong?”
Her hair was fine on one side, but there were a few strands of hair that were loose on the other side. She looked as if she had just fought someone, and they wrestled.
Tuan Zi was instantly embarrassed, but now was not the time to care about this. She hurriedly asked, “Brother Wu Yao, can you open this barrier? Hong Yao and I want to go out!”
Wu Yao was speechless. Tuan Zi seems to have some kind of misunderstanding about me?
Seeing that they were so anxious, he shook his head and said, “Only the deity in charge of the Heaven Gate can open this barrier. What exactly happened? Why did you suddenly rush out?”
Tuan Zi shook her head like a rattle. “Brother Wu Yao, I don’t have time to explain! Who is in charge of guarding the Heaven Gate? I’ll find them!”
Before Wu Yao could say anything, a voice suddenly sounded from behind. “Why do you want to go out?”
Tuan Zi turned around.
The incoming person was Eleventh Deity, Qiu Tong.
After detecting the commotion near the barrier, he immediately rushed out. However, he never expected that it was Tuan Zi who was causing a ruckus.
There was still a green sparrow at the side?
Qiu Tong’s gaze stopped on Hong Yao for a moment, and he knitted his brows slightly. This green sparrow isn’t a legendary fiend. There doesn’t seem to be such a fiend in the Fantasy Divine Palace…
“Aiya, don’t ask so much! We don’t have time!” Tuan Zi forcefully hit the barrier. “Quickly open it! If you don’t, I’ll just die here!”
Qiu Tong was speechless.
Wu Yao covered his face. Why do I feel humiliated…
Qiu Tong’s expression was stern. “No.”
“No?! Why not?” Tuan Zi was infuriated!
Qiu Tong felt that Tuan Zi was purely being unreasonable, so he didn’t care about her words. “Not anyone can casually enter and leave the Heaven Gate. You… can’t do it either.”
Tuan Zi glanced at Hong Yao. Then, she clenched her teeth, and her suppression suddenly exploded!
Peng!
A ball of red-golden fire instantly flew out and heavily struck that barrier!
Rumble!
A loud sound spread far and wide!
Tuan Zi’s eyes seemed to burn crazily with fire. “Are you going to open it!?”
…
Fantasy Divine Sea.
Chu Liuyue’s voice was soft, but the few of them heard it clearly.
Bi Ling’s expression instantly turned cold, and she knitted her sharp brows. “Nonsense! How can you directly call First Deity by his name?!”
As if hearing some joke, Chu Liuyue laughed. She tilted her head, glanced at Mu Qinghe, and said, “Mu Qinghe, tell her. Do I have the right to call you that?”
Bi Ling twisted her wrist and was about to take action! “I think you really don’t know who you are!”
Among the deities, even the Second Deity—Yu Qian—doesn’t dare to talk to the First Deity in this tone. And this woman… is really arrogant!
A hand suddenly reached out to stop Bi Ling’s whip.
He didn’t seem to use force, but Bi Ling instantly felt that the whip was tightly restricted, and she could not move it at all.
“Bi Ling, do you not understand whatever I just said?” Mu Qinghe said nonchalantly, but he did not allow for any doubts. His authority was strong!
Bi Ling was stunned as deep fear and respect flashed across her eyes. She instantly took a step back and said, “I wouldn’t dare!”
Mu Qinghe then flung the whip away.
Bi Ling hurriedly caught it and did not dare to say another word.
She gazed at Chu Liuyue doubtfully. This woman… knows the First Deity? And they seem to have an extraordinary relationship. If not, she wouldn’t dare to talk to the First Deity in this manner. However, this woman seems like she came from outside. Why would First Deity have interactions with such a person?
Mu Qinghe glanced at Chu Liuyue. I indeed… haven’t seen her in a while. Compared to before, she is even more iridescent. Even in this dark bottom of the ocean, she still shines like a bright pearl and is eye-catching.
After a long while, he finally said, “The day Diwu Zhangze betrayed the Fantasy Divine Hall, he was destined to have such an ending. The Great Advanced Realm is indeed good, but you probably forgot that Diwu Zhangze himself has also reached the Great Advanced Realm. Even he can’t escape this place, so it’s even more impossible for you.”
Mu Hongyu bit her lips. “Please be careful. It’s really dangerous.”
“Leave in the next ten minutes, and I’ll not pursue everything from before.”
“First Deity!?” Bi Ling looked at him in disbelief. “These two people tried to trespass into the Fantasy Divine Sea countless times and even tried to take Diwu Zhangze away. They committed so many sins. How can you just let it go?”
“Yeah, how can you just let it go?” Chu Liuyue spoke as she took a step forward.
Mu Hongyu wanted to pull her back. She had stretched out her hand midway before she paused.
She did not know what to do now…
No wonder I found him rather familiar previously. It turns out—however, why is the First Deity Mu Qinghe?!
“Not pursue the previous matters…” said Chu Liuyue slowly, pondering over the words in a seemingly smiling manner. “Mu Qinghe, do you have the right to tell me that?”
Her gaze swept across Mu Qinghe’s face bit by bit.
This person was once her most trusted aide, but now, he used such a status to stand before her and tell her that he was willing to not pursue the previous matters?
She suddenly focused her gaze.
There seemed to be a burn mark by the side of Mu Qinghe’s ears. It was probably left behind by that fire?
Then, she looked into his eyes as if she wanted to find an answer from the pair of calm and deep eyes.
“You still haven’t answered me. I gave you the name Mu Qinghe. Why can’t I call you that?”
