In the middle of the night, the candles in the underworld went out a lot, and it looked even more dim. Only some insects with fireflies, dotted in the air, feel that the underworld is a little alive.

Ying Ning changed into black clothes and quietly went out by candlelight. She was too surprised by her biological father's question. It seems to have appeared out of thin air, because she has lived so long and has not even remembered a single star. No one had ever told her that she had a father, and that she had a place to come from.

And why does the Night Monarch know this, obviously he even knows very little about my period. What could be the conspiracy in his mouth? He was always vague, what exactly was he trying to tell her? She was too curious, she couldn't wait, she had to figure it out.

Ying Ning visited the heavenly realm privately late at night, and was known by someone with a heart, and it was probably a crime that could not be escaped. It's just that she doesn't care, about her life experience, more important than anything.

Above the heavens, the stars are dotted, and the moonlight is as bright as day. She looked up at the deep night sky, like the deep sea without the slightest waves. Mixed emotions welled up in her heart, she hadn't seen a sky like this for a long time, and she almost forgot it. She lowered her eyes and sighed softly, probably not having much chance to see it in the future.

There were guards from the Heavenly Palace patrolling around, and Ying Ning was afraid of being discovered, so she transformed into a stray firefly and slowly walked in the direction of Qingyuan. Qingyuan has been in the future for a long time, and when she arrives in the garden, it seems that she has changed a lot, but it is not as depressed as before. Red flowers and green trees, the breeze is blowing, and she is full of emotion. Everything in the heavenly realm was changing, but she couldn't feel it.

The wooden house where she used to live had a light on. Yingning pushed the door in, and it turned out to be Yejun, wearing a white nightgown, without binding his hair, looking extraordinarily leisurely. He was sitting at the table, holding a chess piece in one hand and a teacup in the other, as if the chessboard was at an impasse and difficult to settle for a while.

Yejun looked up at her, his eyes flashed, he probably didn't expect her to come. But it was only for a moment, he regained his composure, continued to stare at the chessboard in front of him, and said lightly: "You are here." ”

"You know I'm coming?" Ying Ning felt that his tone was firm, not as if he was defenseless.

Yejun smiled, and finally put the chess piece somewhere on the chessboard, and looked up at her: "I probably thought of it, but I didn't expect you to come so quickly." I thought it would take at least a few days for you to figure it out. I've always thought you're simple, and you don't seem to be stupid. ”

Yingning didn't wait for him to be polite, so she sat opposite Yejun very unceremoniously, snatched the cup in his hand, and drank the rest of the tea in one gulp, the taste was sweet and mellow, like the Dragon Well of West Lake.

Yejun shook his head helplessly, picked up another cup on the table, poured it full of tea and handed it to her. Ying Ning took it and said, "I can't figure it out at all, I think I have a secret on my body, but I don't know it at all." Let me ask you, is Qi Wuxian my father? ”

Yejun stared at her for a long time, and the light in his eyes was strange and weird, so that she couldn't fathom his eyes. Yejun nodded and said, "He is your father. ”

"How did you find out?" Ying Ning continued to ask.

"I looked at the portrait of Qi Wuxian on the "Chronicles of the Three Realms", don't you think your eyes are very similar to his? One glance is unforgettable. The Night Monarch said quietly.

Yejun's words are not credible, can he conclude that she is Qi Wuxian's daughter with just a pair of eyes? She said, "Do you think I'll believe that?" ”

Yejun laughed a few times, squinted his eyes and took a sip of tea, *authenticly: "It's already so difficult to deceive." ”

Ying Ning slapped the table, and the shock made a few chess pieces on the table drop. "I'm serious with you, I secretly came here late at night, I already made a big mistake, don't coax me anymore."

Yejun bent down and picked up those chess pieces, and said in a very regretful tone: "I'm almost about to break this chess game, this is good, it's all messed up by you." ”

Ying Ning glared at him, and Yejun immediately surrendered: "Okay, good, I'll tell you the truth." There was once a tree man in this green garden who lived for tens of thousands of years. In these three realms, there is no story that he does not know. Shu Weng said that Qi Wuxian once had a daughter, who was later killed in battle. It is said that the king of Hades died in battle, and his daughter should succeed him. It's just that somehow, as soon as Qi Wuxian died, Shen Tu sat in the position of the king of Hades. Her daughter then disappeared, and some people said that Qi Wuxian was meritorious, and the Emperor of Heaven was grateful for it, so he took his daughter to the heavenly realm and gave it to the higher-ranking immortals to raise. It's just that no one knows who adopted it. ”

"But this doesn't mean that I am Qi Wuxian's daughter. There are so many fairies in this heavenly realm, how can it be me? Yingning still can't understand the trick of this.

The Night Monarch pondered for a moment and said happily, "Okay, I'll admit it. When I visited you for the first time, I overheard the Xuannu talking to someone, saying that sooner or later you will have to go to the underworld, and that it is the place that really belongs to you. ”

So Aunt Xuannu knows her life experience, but why does she never mention it? This made her think for a while that she was just like the Great Sage, maybe she jumped out of some crack in the stone. Some things suddenly became clear, and she asked Yejun: "I was punished to the underworld, is it also intentional for Aunt Xuannu and Heaven and Earth?" ”

Yejun held the white porcelain cup in his hand, the cup was as white as jade, lining his fingers slender and slender. He said lightly: "Probably." ”

"Why do you have to put so much effort into it? Why don't you just let me know? I felt like a fool, they never wanted me to go back to the Celestial Realm, but I still hoped that they would take me back. But it turned out that it was all my wishful thinking. "Yingning doesn't understand and can't understand.

She was an immortal with no rank in the heavenly realm, but she was suddenly summoned by the Emperor of Heaven, and inexplicably dropped his glass cup. After waiting in the prison for so long, he was sent to the underworld. She couldn't figure it out at first, but now she understood a little. Going around in such a big circle, just to get her where she was supposed to go. She remembered why Xuannu let her get engaged to me so quickly, probably because she was afraid that she would want to come back. It turns out that all of this is their game, and I don't know what role I played? Does he know that? Or is it better to collude with Ben and Xuannu, just waiting for her to stay in the underworld forever?

Ying Ning got up suddenly, turned around and was about to walk out. Yejun was faster than her, and grabbed her as soon as he grabbed her: "What are you going to do?" ”

"I'm going to the Xuannu Palace and ask Aunt Xuannu, why are you lying to me? Wouldn't it be good to tell me all this directly and let me choose for myself? Why do you have to calculate me like this, am I really so stupid and ignorant in her eyes? ”

Yejun held her shoulders, his light dark green eyes, stared at her tightly, and said word by word: "Because there are some things that I can't let you know." ”

Ying Ning fixed his mind and asked, "What can't you let me know?" ”

Yejun hesitated for a moment, and the words lingered on the tip of his tongue. To say it or not to say it will be a different ending. He still felt sorry for her, and if he didn't say it, she would be better. If so, it is the result he wants.

After a long time, Yejun gritted his teeth and finally said, "The true cause of your father's death." ”

Ying Ning was surprised: "Didn't he die in battle?" ”

Yejun put down his hand, lifted his robe and sat down again, picked up another chess piece, and held it in his hand for a long time before it slowly fell. He looked up at Ying Ning, his eyes were firm: "He was killed by the gods." ”

Ying Ning gasped, clenched her fingers, her eyebrows were full of horror, and she said, "Shendi? Why? ”

Yejun sneered and said, "Only when Qi Wuxian dies will he have a chance to sit in the position of Hades." ”

"Killed my father just because he wanted that position?" Ying Ning felt that such a reason was shameless and ridiculous.

"Ning Ning, you don't understand. The human heart is not enough to swallow the elephant, and when the desire of the person gradually expands in the heart, everything can be done. The Night Monarch said disapprerovingly, such a reason was enough.

"Can the Heavenly Emperor and Aunt Xuannu know about this?" Ying Ning clasped her hands and asked in a cold voice. It's okay if she doesn't know, if she knows, she really can't face the Xuannu anymore.

"I didn't know before, but I knew later, but it was too late, and Shen Tu had already taken the position of Hades. At that time, the Three Realms had just calmed down the war, and if the underworld was chaotic again, it might be another catastrophe. The Emperor of Heaven could only turn a blind eye and sent Zhong Wuqi to protect him. But fortunately, the Emperor of Heaven still has some conscience, and he is afraid that the gods will cut the grass and eradicate the roots, so he took you to the heavenly realm and handed you over to the Xuannu to raise. ”

"If that's the case, why do you want me to go back now? Aren't you afraid of the gods cutting down the grass and eradicating the roots now? ”

The Night Monarch said in a deep voice: "The gods are now like the sun in the sky, and the entire underworld is prostrate at his feet. Even the mortal world has his power, and the Heavenly Emperor is the most suspicious, how can he let him be alone. I think the meaning of the Emperor of Heaven is to let you balance him. ”

Ying Ning sneered in her heart, this is to treat her as a chess piece, at that time, Fu Shen Tu was on the throne, and now Shen Tu threatens the position of the Emperor of Heaven, but he remembers her existence. "But I don't remember what happened in the past, and how do they want me to balance the gods?"

"I haven't figured this out yet, you wait, I'll tell you when I investigate it clearly." Yejun lowered his head and thought for a while, then raised his head to look at her and asked, "When Qi Wuxian died, even though you were young, you would not be completely impressed. In my guess, the Emperor of Heaven should have given you a meal to eat. ”

The corner of Yingning's eyes jumped, and she asked, "What is that?" ”

"Take a pill that makes you forget everything." The Night Lord replied softly.

I really look up to her, and I don't want to cure the god of committing the crime of rebellion, but I want to erase her memory, which is really admirable for their hard work. "Is there a way to solve it?" Ying Ning asked.

Yejun pursed the corners of his mouth, rubbing a chess piece with his fingers, his brows furrowed, as if the chess game was trapped again. After a long time, he didn't put the chess piece down again, he threw it on the table, and rolled to the ground with a snap. He raised his head, his eyes flashing: "If you remember the past, I'm afraid it won't be easy." ”

A faint sadness appeared in Ying Ning's eyes, and his tone was slight, as if he was muttering: "He is my father, I have a place to come, and I will have a way back in the future." ”

Yejun got up, reached out and touched her hair, took her in his arms, and listened to her shallow breathing. She has a good smell of drunken flowers, she seems to have added a lot of pear blossoms to it, and the sweet pear blossom fragrance makes people intoxicated. He stroked her slender and delicate back, and said softly, "Ning Ning, I have seen an ancient recipe that can probably solve the problem. It's just that you have to wait for me for a few days, and I need to try to match it. ”

Ying Ning withdrew from his arms, lowered his eyes and said thank you, and said, "It's late, I have to go back." Thank you for today's events. ”

She was about to turn around and leave, but Yejun called out to her behind her and said, "Ning Ning, you have to endure this matter first, don't tell anyone." Even Zhong Wu period is absolutely indispensable. ”

Ying Ning turned around and asked, "Why?" ”

Yejun sighed: "You don't know the relationship between Zhong Wuqi and Shen Di. If Zhong Wuqi is on the side of the gods, you will not put yourself in a dangerous situation. Besides, the Xuannu married you off so quickly, don't you believe that Zhong Wuqi doesn't know anything? Maybe he did it on purpose, too? ”
