2320 Taking the Initiative


    Jin Yui didn’t appear, so Chu Liuyue didn’t pay much attention to it. However, she was very surprised that the First Deity suddenly acted. Could it be that this person is finally nning toe out of seclusion? However, it seems that no matter what, it isn’t his ce to do something like opening the door…


    Rong Xiu held her hand. “There’s no time to lose.”


    Chu Liuyue retracted her gaze and nodded slightly.


    Their figures quickly disappeared outside the Heaven Gate.


    After a while, the barrier closed again, and it was very calm.


    …


    Their departure didn’t attract the attention of the people in Fantasy Divine Pce.


    On the one hand, many people’s attention was on Mu Yafeng. On the other hand, themotion at the Heaven Gate was really small. From beginning to end, it only took a short moment.


    Only the deities guarding everywhere felt this fluctuation and looked up in surprise. This is… The First Deity has made his move! Most importantly, he seems to be at Jin Yui’s residence?


    For a moment, several deities immediately moved toward him!


    The First Deity had been in seclusion for several years. Now that he had finally taken action, they naturally had to investigate.


    …


    Fantasy Divine Hall.


    There was dead silence in the huge room.


    Jin Yui stood there, his fists clenched tightly, but most of his strength seemed to have been drawn out of his body. Even speaking became extremely strenuous.


    His face was pale, and his lips trembled slightly. He felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave.


    Every word of the First Deity’s questioning was heavy and cold!


    After a long time, he finally found his voice. “I just… I just gave her a little reminder…”


    “A little?” the First Deity questioned calmly.


    Jin Yui closed his eyes and finally said disappointedly, “Yes… I helped her on purpose. The Heaven Gate will only be open for a year. If she can’tprehend all the Xuan formations on the Star Path before the deadline arrives and enter Fantasy Divine Hall to ascend to the heavens and break through, reaching the Deity Realm, I’ll have to wait another 10,000 years. It’s been a few months now, and she’s still trapped on those few Xuan formations. I… I just think she’s talented. It’s a pity to wait so long…”


    “Who in Fantasy Divine Pce doesn’t wait like this?” The First Deity let out a rareugh, as if he had heard a joke. “Xiao Ran has been trapped on thest few Xuan formations for 30,000 years, but I haven’t seen you help him.”


    Of course, Jin Yui could hear the dissatisfaction in the First Deity’s words.


    However… Xiao Ran was Xiao Ran after all, while Mu Yafeng was different.


    “Ever since the First Deity took charge of the Star Path, no one has sessfully walked through the Star Path and entered Fantasy Divine Hall. This has been too long. Many Xuan Masters have already lost their confidence, and there are fewer and fewer people trying. If this continues…”


    “That’s because they’re not qualified to enter Fantasy Divine Hall. Didn’t you sessfullyplete the Star Path back then and even became the Seventh Deity?”


    Jin Yui looked troubled. “But it was because—”


    Sensing a cold gaze on him, Jin Yui’s heart skipped a beat, and he immediately swallowed the rest of his words tactfully.


    After a while, he said, “I… I was in the wrong in this matter. I will suffer any punishment the First Deity gives, but… there are some things that can’t be done without being said.”


    “Mu Yafeng is the most talented Xuan Master in Fantasy Divine Pce in the past 10,000 years. If even she can’t do it, then there’s no need to mention the others. If I have to choose to help someone ascend to the heavens, I’ll still choose her.”


    “You know the situation of the Xuan formations on the Star Path. The further you go, the more difficult it bes. Without enough talent and strength, it’s useless even if someone gives them pointers. I admit that I helped Mu Yafeng, but she seeded because of her own factors. Moreover, strictly speaking, I did only give her some pointers. These might not even be as detailed as the annotations on the Li Fire Xuan Painting. If Shangguan Yue can read the Li Fire Xuan Painting, why can’t Mu Yafeng?”


    At first, he didn’t actually have this thought.


    On the one hand, it was because he thought very highly of Mu Yafeng and had always felt that these questions weren’t difficult for her. On the other hand, he had never made such ns before.


    But as time passed, things gradually deviated from expectations.


    On Mu Yafeng’s side, she couldn’t crack the Xuan formation for a long time. She was trapped in one ce for a long time and had no intention of continuing.


    On the other hand, Chu Liuyue had already sessfully stepped into the Grandmaster-level Xuan formation area with the help of the Li Fire Xuan Painting! If this continued, Chu Liuyue might really surpass Mu Yafeng.


    That wasn’t what Jin Yui wanted to see.


    As she didn’t have a bloodline totem, Jin Yui had been prejudiced against Chu Liuyue from the beginning. He had always felt that she would leave Fantasy Divine Pce soon.


    Unexpectedly, not only did she not leave, but she also caused a lot of trouble. She had already be the focus of Fantasy Divine Pce.


    If she really got first ce, not only would Mu Yafeng be unhappy, but Jin Yui would also feel pped in the face.


    Even if Chu Liuyue couldn’t reach the heavens, as long as she performed better than Mu Yafeng, everyone would inevitably talk about her.


    And Jin Yui, who was in charge of the Star Path, was naturally implicated.


    What would happen in the end? Everyone would see that Mu Yafeng, whom he had always valued, was actually not that outstanding at all. Instead, Chu Liuyue, who had been mocked by all kinds of people from the beginning, easily crushed Mu Yafeng in all aspects!


    At the thought of this scene, Jin Yui found it hard to ept. Therefore, when Mu Yafeng came to beg him, he thought about it again and agreed.


    And her performance didn’t disappoint him.


    He thought that everything could go smoothly, but who knew that this matter actually rmed the First Deity.


    The First Deity listened quietly. After a long time, he asked, “Are you done?”


    Jin Yui let out a long breath. “I’m done.”


    “It seems like you still think you did nothing wrong.” The First Deity’s voice was calm, with a hint of cold indifference. “Jin Yui, I always thought you were very smart, but now it seems that you’re ridiculously stupid. Can’t you tell that the Li Fire Xuan Painting was given to Shangguan Yue by Zhen Bao Pavilion?”


    Jin Yui was shocked and suddenly looked up. “What?!”


    “The fact that Zhen Bao Pavilion has given it to her doesn’t seem to be the same as you helping Mu Yafeng, right?”
