Chiye ordered people to send Lin Jiang back to his room, and then personally took Cui Hengyue and Song Zhuoxing to the North Hall.

There was a new group of guards on the sky plank road. When they saw Cui Hengyue and Song Zhuoxing, their eyes became more alert.

Cui Hengyue glanced at them indifferently, and then his eyes fell on Mu Yun at the other end of the plank road.

Mu Yun's long body stood upright, like a sword in the dark night, faintly shining with cold light.

When Chiye and others crossed the plank road, Mu Yun ordered: "Chiye, take Song Xiaolangjun away.

"Miss Cui, come with me."

As soon as he heard that he and Cui Hengyue were going to be separated, Song Zhuoxing became anxious: "I won't leave, I want to be with Miss Cui."

As he spoke, he reached out and grabbed Cui Hengyue's wrist, as if he was determined to never be separated.

Cui Hengyue lowered her head and glanced at his hands, then raised her head and looked at him doubtfully, what is this kid doing?

At this time, Mu Yun suddenly stepped forward, grabbed Song Zhuoxing's hand, and twisted it hard.

"ah--"

Song Zhuoxing was in pain and was forced to let go of Cui Hengyue's hand.

"In Yunxuan Temple, you still can't be the master."

After Mu Yun finished speaking, he increased his strength and threw Song Zhuoxing in front of Chiye: "Take him away."

Chiye immediately grabbed Song Zhuoxing and dragged him away.

"I'll go by myself." Song Zhuoxing angrily shook off Chiye's hand and walked straight forward.

Cui Hengyue withdrew her gaze, looked at Mu Yun calmly and said, "Let's go."

Mu Yun took Cui Hengyue to Shenyin Palace. Cui Hengyue thought they were going to see Mu Huo, but she didn't expect that Mu Yun took her to King Chu's chamber.

"Master, Cui Hengyue has brought it." Mu Yun respectfully said to the middle-aged man in front of the altar table.

The King of Chu turned his wheelchair, glanced at Cui Hengyue, and then told Mu Yun: "Get out of here first."

"yes."

Mu Yun turned and left.

"Kneel down."

As soon as Mu Yun walked out of the door, he heard the majestic voice of King Chu. His body trembled subconsciously, and then he quickened his pace and walked out.

Cui Hengyue remained motionless and looked angry: "Why do you make me kneel down?"

"Why?"

The King of Chu laughed mockingly to himself, and then said with a straight face: "In terms of honor and inferiority, I am the superior and you are the inferior. If I ask you to kneel, you must kneel.

"In terms of seniority, I am your elder, and you can only do what your elders say.

"But today, I don't want to discuss this with you. It's not me who made you kneel, it's your aunt."

King Chu turned his wheelchair to reveal the tablet on the altar table behind him.

Cui Hengyue narrowed her eyes, that was her aunt's tablet.

When she came here in the past, there was no such altar table in the house. Apparently this altar table was newly installed and the King of Chu was paying homage to her aunt.

Why?

Seeing that Cui Hengyue was still indifferent, the King of Chu became angry and whipped out his whip.

"Today is the anniversary of your aunt's death. Kneel down."

Cui Hengyue was forced to kneel on the ground. Just when he was about to resist, he heard these words and was stunned.

She searched for memories in her mind and found that every year on this day, her mother would take her to offer incense to her aunt.

It turns out today is a special day.

She straightened her body, knelt down, and kowtowed three times to the memorial tablet solemnly.

After kowtowing, Cui Hengyue stood up suddenly and glared at the King of Chu: "She is my aunt, I know how to worship her, I don't need you to force her.

"If you whip me in front of my aunt's memorial tablet, aren't you afraid that my aunt knows something and will whip you to death in your dream?"

King Chu's expression darkened and he murmured: "If she is willing to enter my dream like this, I will definitely slap you twice more..."

Although his voice was very low, Cui Hengyue was close. When she heard these words, she immediately jumped back a big step, put on a posture, and looked alert.

When King Chu saw her action, he came to his senses instantly.

He straightened his face and scolded: "Do you know what you did today?

"Back then, your aunt entered the palace because Xie Yu said something she shouldn't have said. How is your behavior today worthy of your aunt? Huh?

"You knew clearly that Xie Yu would come to kill me after he came out, but you also stole the key privately and let Xie Yu go. As a result, you lost the rice instead of stealing the chicken. You almost died at the hands of Xie Yu, and Lin Jiang was seriously injured.

"If Xie Yu had been more aggressive, you would not have the chance to stand in front of me now. I don't think you would have the dignity to meet your mother and aunt?

"I have warned you a long time ago, don't trust anyone easily in this world, even relatives, relatives, friends... you can't trust it.

"I didn't expect you to turn a deaf ear to my words and forget them so quickly. You are simply hopelessly stupid."

Cui Hengyue, who was already very regretful, was even more ashamed after receiving this reprimand.

If someone else came to reprimand her, she would definitely accept it silently, but this person was the King of Chu, so she couldn't accept it.

"Yes, I'm stupid. I shouldn't trust that bastard Xie Yu easily, but how can you be any better?"

Cui Hengyue mercilessly accused the King of Chu: "You knew the deal between Xie Yu and me, but you still watched me go to Mu Huo to steal the key, and you watched me let Xie Yu go without stopping you.

How is your behavior different from that of an accomplice?

"If I die in Xie Yu's hands today, it is indeed my own fault, but you are an accomplice, so don't try to shirk responsibility.

"When you go to hell in the future, how will you face my aunt?"

King Chu was stunned speechless: "..."

Seeing Cui Hengyue puffing out his cheeks and looking angry, seemingly even more angry than him, King Chu softened his tone:

"I just want you to recognize Xie Yu's true face, and I want you to know that no one in this world is worthy of your trust.

"You are the child Yuan Niang cares about, how can I really ignore your safety?

"Actually, Mu Huo is lurking in the South Cave. If Xie Yu is really cruel to you, Mu Huo will stop him before then."

Cui Hengyue froze.

Are his words... credible?

After a moment of silence, Cui Hengyue looked away unnaturally and said awkwardly: "I don't want to kill you either.

"I know that the North Palace is heavily guarded and there are many experts. Xie Yu will definitely not be able to get in front of you, so I agreed to make a deal with him..."

After hearing this, King Chu unconsciously raised the corners of his lips, but when he saw Cui Hengyue turning his head to look over, he immediately lowered the corners of his lips and returned to his indifferent expression.

Cui Hengyue was still angry: "If you really care about my aunt, you should send me down the mountain directly. Why do you need to cause so many things?

"Besides, the document has been established. I will keep my promise and give you a satisfactory answer when the time comes."

This little girl really deserves a beating for being so obedient even though she got an advantage.

The King of Chu said in a deep voice: "How can personal relationships be confused with rules?

"It's one thing that I value your aunt, but it's another thing to follow the rules of Yunxuan Temple. I can't break the rules of Yunxuan Temple just for your aunt.

"If you want to go down the mountain, be diligent and practice more every day..."

Cui Hengyue couldn't help but interrupt him: "You set the rules of Yunxuan Temple. You just change them. Why bother a weak woman like me?"

"The rules are set and cannot be changed."

Looking at King Chu's serious look, Cui Hengyue just wanted to hit someone. She said unwillingly: "No matter how diligent I am and practice for eight or ten years, I still can't beat Mu Huo and the others."

King Chu said expressionlessly: "Then work harder and practice for twenty years."

"..."

Cui Hengyue was speechless.

After a moment of silence, she tried again: "How about this? How about you issue an order that on the day I come down from the mountain, no one above the rank of captain is allowed to guard the formation?"

King Chu: "How about this, you stay in Yunxuan Temple, and I choose a brave general in the army to marry you and have a son with you?"
