"This road is blocked, Old Uncle. Please don’t make things difficult for me, alright?"
Xiao Cui was truly anxious. She had even blurted out the words Old Uncle.
But who was Elder Ge?
A famously shameless rascal.
Before coming here, he had already prepared himself to be driven away.
He had only just seen Xiao Cui.
How could he possibly leave because of a single sentence?
Dream on!
Elder Ge directly took out a meditation cushion from his Storage Ring, placed it on the ground, and sat down cross legged.
The movement was incomparably smooth.
"Alright, Xiao Cui. Since you call me Old Uncle, then Old Uncle naturally won’t make things too hard for you. You say this gate is blocked, so I won’t go in. I’ll wait outside. Whenever you’re not here watching, I’ll go in then."
"That way, if Zhu Xincheng wants to blame someone, it won’t fall on your head, right?"
Xiao Cui could not help covering her face with one hand.
Wasn’t this just covering one’s ears while stealing a bell?
Seeing that Elder Ge had even taken out bananas and apples and started eating—
Xiao Cui felt even more troubled. After thinking it over again and again, she said directly, "Old Uncle, I’m not lying to you. The Gate Master is out. She isn’t in the Divine Alliance right now. Why don’t you leave first, and come back after she returns?"
Xiao Cui was not lying. At the moment, Zhu Xincheng truly was not at the Blazing Sun Gate.
Recently, because of the divine stone mine, Zhu Xincheng had been overwhelmed, running about outside every day.
But counting the days, she should be returning soon.
Precisely because of that, Xiao Cui had to find a way to send Elder Ge away.
There was no choice. Every time Zhu Xincheng saw Elder Ge, her mood turned terrible.
Xiao Cui truly could not bear to watch her return exhausted, only to become upset again.
So today, Elder Ge had to leave.
But Elder Ge simply lifted his chin and stiffened his neck.
"Tell me to leave? Not happening. I’m waiting here for my daughter. Today, no one can change that. I said so!"
Hearing this, Xiao Cui felt an immense headache.
And at that very moment, a gentle voice sounded from afar.
"And if I say, come with me instead?"
At those words, Elder Ge suddenly turned his head, only to see Hua Junshuang standing not far away, dressed in palace robes and looking at him.
Her appearance, attire, and even her gaze were exactly the same as a million years ago.
That memory buried deep in his heart surfaced once more.
Elder Ge unconsciously clenched his fists and could not help murmuring softly, "You... how did you know I was here?"
Faced with this question, Hua Junshuang did not answer. She merely lifted a hand to brush back the hair at her temples scattered by the wind.
"Can we find somewhere to talk? All these years, I have truly missed you."
A simple sentence, yet it carried endless ambiguity.
The many members of the Divine Race at the Blazing Sun Gate completely broke down.
Had this world finally gone mad?
Look at her—so beautiful it defied description—yet she was tender as water toward a bald old man.
Was there still justice? Was there still fairness?
Where exactly did they fall short compared to him?
Xiao Cui could not help narrowing her eyes slightly.
Although the Gate Master had never seriously spoken about what happened back then—
From the bottom of her heart, she disliked this woman.
She even had the impulse to make Elder Ge stay!
But reason told Xiao Cui she could not do that.
So she could only shift her gaze to Elder Ge, to see what he would choose.
Elder Ge lowered his head slightly and remained silent for a long time.
Then he slowly followed Hua Junshuang and left.
The two figures soon disappeared from everyone’s sight.
Xiao Cui’s brows, however, were tightly furrowed.
Why did she feel such unease?
As if something major was about to happen!
A moment later.
Under Hua Junshuang’s lead, Elder Ge arrived at a bamboo grove.
There was even a blessed cave dwelling here. Judging from the clean surroundings, it was clearly well maintained.
But Elder Ge closed his eyes and turned around, forcing himself not to look at this place.
The reason was simple.
This was where he and Hua Junshuang had once loved each other.
And it was here that Li Mu had seen the two of them.
From that day on, Elder Ge had never returned to this place. Even when passing by, he would unconsciously avoid it.
Hua Junshuang acted as if she did not notice his reaction.
She said softly, "After we parted, I realized I had hopelessly fallen in love with you."
"We were not just a transaction. It was love."
"All these years, I tried to find you, but there was never any news. There were even rumors that you had fallen."
"Do you know how desperate I was when I heard that?"
Elder Ge waved his hand. "Let’s not talk about the past anymore!"
Hua Junshuang suddenly turned around.
"Why not talk about it? I also heard about your wife’s matter. I am deeply sorry. But we must move forward. I know you like me too. Why can’t we be together?"
As she spoke these words, tears shimmered in Hua Junshuang’s eyes. She looked utterly pitiful.
Enough to melt a man’s heart.
Elder Ge shook his head repeatedly.
"We cannot be together. Leave."
Hua Junshuang stepped forward directly.
"I’m not leaving. From now on, husband sings, wife follows. Wherever you go, I go. My persistence toward you is no less than your persistence toward Zhu Xincheng!"
Wave after wave of assault left Elder Ge almost unable to defend himself.
Before completely falling, he could not help asking again, "Who told you I was here?"
Hua Junshuang replied calmly, "A male ghost god. Seems to be called Ye Yu."
"Impossible!"
"Bullshit!"
The two sentences rang out almost simultaneously.
The word impossible came from Elder Ge.
The word bullshit came from Ye Yu.
His figure suddenly appeared a hundred meters away.
The way he looked at Hua Junshuang was filled with contempt.
"Old bastard, your white moonlight truly has a crooked heart. I never told her where you were. And now she’s throwing dirty water on me? A woman like that is disgusting!"
Hearing this, Elder Ge fell silent.
He believed in Ye Yu’s character. Since Ye Yu knew he was deliberately avoiding Hua Junshuang, he would definitely not reveal his whereabouts.
That was why he had said impossible without hesitation just now.
A trace of resentment flashed through Hua Junshuang’s eyes.
Looking at Ye Yu, she said coldly, "What do you mean crooked heart? What do you mean disgusting? Watch your mouth. Although I did not learn Ge Shen’s whereabouts from you, if I had not sensed his aura on you, I would not have known he was still alive."
"So my coming here naturally has something to do with you."
Ye Yu sneered. "Twisting logic. By your reasoning, does that mean Li Mu’s death is also related to you?"
"Nonsense!"
Hua Junshuang’s voice trembled slightly, and she immediately turned to observe Elder Ge’s expression.
