"I said, you should leave first, I don’t want to et you right now." Ye Shikai raised his head, his expression sowhat grave. Chen Yuxin’s actions this ti had gone too far, otherwise Ye Shikai wouldn’t have been so angry.
"But don’t worry, I will return to Yanjing."
"Kai, I can leave... but can you promise not to be mad at anymore?" Chen Yuxin asked fearfully. She no longer dared to push Ye Shikai; if she angered him again, the result would be unpredictable. She didn’t want Ye Shikai to live here alone with Ji Qian, but his attitude was firm, and Chen Yuxin could only choose to compromise.
Seeing Ye Shikai nod slightly, Chen Yuxin finally stood up and slowly walked out of the room. When she reached the door, she didn’t forget to turn around and urge Ye Shikai to return soon.
"I’ll have Nightmare escort you to the airport." Ye Shikai also stood up, watching Chen Yuxin walk out of the room with a look of disappointnt. Although he felt reluctant, now... this was the best arrangent.
"There’s no need, Feng Ling and the others will accompany . You don’t need to worry." Chen Yuxin spoke as if she’d lost her soul, her voice very faint, and Ye Shikai even worried that without Feng Ling and the others to support her, she might fall...
"What’s wrong, are you feeling sorry?" After Chen Yuxin left, Ji Qian was finally no longer worried about embarrassnt. She walked out of the conference room and saw Ye Shikai looking distressed, his brow furrowed, instantly guessing his thoughts.
"She is, after all, my wife. It was wrong of her to hurt , but I won’t take revenge on her. Seeing her like this, I don’t want to see it."
"Now that she’s gone, do you have any thoughts?" Ji Qian continued to ask.
"Not much, I just want to take a good rest. This operation in North Arica caused significant losses to the Three Temples. Old Wang has already taken people back to the War God Temple to recuperate; aren’t you going back to the Moon God Temple?"
"With Selena there, I’m not worried. But you, Ghost is no longer in the Netherworld Palace. Nightmare has courage, but lacks Ghost’s skill in command. I think you need a Think Tank now." Ji Qian’s words hit the nail on the head. It was the biggest issue for the Netherworld Palace. Without Ji Qian’s help, Nightmare could hardly manage so many people, even though Ye Shikai had already handed over the Netherworld King Order to him; command ability isn’t sothing a re three-inch tal plaque can ensure.
"The Netherworld Palace losing Ghost is a loss, but I don’t regret it. Everyone has the right to pursue happiness, and besides, he isn’t just the Think Tank of Netherworld Palace, but also my brother. If he wants to leave, I won’t hold him back." Ye Shikai spoke resolutely. After years as Netherworld King, Ye Shikai was well aware that when soone is determined to leave, any form of forceful retention is useless. Faced with such situations, Ye Shikai never forced anyone, especially since he could empathize with the struggle of a cultivator in the Underworld trying to live a normal life...
"You’re really quite open-minded." Ji Qian teased.
"The human heart is always a curious thing. The tighter you grip it, the more it breaks free; conversely, when you don’t desire it, it often gathers around you. Therefore, it’s best for a leader not to manage it too strictly." Ye Shikai considered himself not a master of ’thick black theory.’ When interacting with others, he adhered to the principle of ’honesty at the core.’ In this Underworld, many cultivators are like floating plants, without support, drifting here. Perhaps it’s Ye Shikai who gave them a sense of ’ho’ that gathered nurous masters to follow him loyally.
"By the way, do you really plan to wash your hands of this?" Ji Qian changed the subject, asking about a topic Ye Shikai wanted to discuss but was hesitant to say.
"What about you, Lady Ji, don’t you intend to stay in Yanjing as the eldest daughter of a prestigious family, rather than venturing outside?" Ye Shikai retorted.
"At least... until these matters are handled. If I handed over the Moon God Temple to Selena just like that, I’d be worried she couldn’t manage it." Ji Qian laughed bitterly, rubbing her head. Ji Tao knew the Moon God Temple was built through Ji Qian’s hard work, so he never said much. But Chen Ligong had several tis subtly suggested that Ji Qian should gradually let go of the Moon God Temple’s affairs.
"Then I can do the sa as you, right?"
"Haha, the matters of the Netherworld Palace are endless; just the right ti... I brought you sothing." Ji Qian turned around and took a folder from her bag.
"Oh gosh, please don’t let it be sothing troubling." Ye Shikai muttered softly.
"No prayers will help; it’s definitely sothing troubleso. Face it positively." Ji Qian teased, handing the folder to Ye Shikai.
"Hey, you’re really lacking compassion." Ye Shikai sighed, as soon as he opened the folder, a photo fell out.
"Who is this, she’s quite beautiful." Ye Shikai looked at the woman in the photo, with long blue hair and a pretty face. Although it was only a half-body shot, Ye Shikai could tell from her neck that she must be tall, at least over 175 cm; with high heels, she should be taller than many n.
"Ahem."
"Hmm, sorry, my focus shifted." Ye Shikai, who had seen countless won, had developed an ’immunity’ to beauty, but this woman gave him a refreshing feeling.
From his experience, if this woman was an opponent, she would certainly be quite challenging.
"Who is she?" Back to the topic, since Ji Qian ntioned serious matters, this beauty was not just for Ye Shikai’s amusent.
"Doris, the newly ascended Sea God."
"Just a Main God." Ye Shikai spoke with indifference, having killed four or five Main Gods, including the forr Netherworld King, he was practically a record holder on the ’God Slaying List.’
"Don’t underestimate her. There’s information I’ve compiled in the folder; take a look." Ji Qian flicked Ye Shikai’s forehead with her finger, leaving him puzzled. After the battle at Holy Mountain, several ’battle-loving’ Main Gods had been slaughtered by him. The quality of newly ascended Main Gods varied, but if this Doris was truly extraordinary, Ye Shikai should have heard of her.
"Really? But since you ntioned it, she must not be a pushover." Ye Shikai didn’t know Doris, but for a woman to hold such a high position, she’d undoubtedly possess exceptional abilities. This was indisputable; besides, among the Main Gods, won like Ji Qian and Aphrodite were all enigmatic figures.
"In a month, the Main God Conference will be held, what are your plans?" As soon as Ji Qian spoke, Ye Shikai’s hand instantly froze.
