For days, Luo Yu has been hiding in Xuanji Palace to study, and his knowledge has made great progress. The ice in the Mortal Realm will melt, but for ice conjured with spiritual power, as long as the immortal does not disperse it, the spell can be maintained for a long time.
One evening, the immortal attendant next to the Heavenly Emperor came to Xuanji Palace. His Majesty the Heavenly Emperor and Her Highness the Heavenly Empress ordered the Night God to urgently come to Jiuxiaoyun Hall to answer questions. Hearing this, Luo Yu smiled at the attendant gracefully, "Then I ask the fairy to wait for me to change my clothes."
The immortal attendant bowed slightly and said, "This little fairy will be waiting for Your Highness outside the door."
If there is a stepmother, there is a stepfather. Why did the two supreme gods in the Heavenly finally remember him, this little Night God? While changing into his outerwear, Luo Yu remembered that he was the prime suspect in Tuyao's eyes in The Case of the Missing Roast Chicken (Xufeng).
In the splendid Jiuxiaoyun Hall, there are the equally dazzling Heavenly Emperor and Empress. Heavenly Empress Tuyao was vibrating with the energy of a Karen who wanted to speak to the Manager of the Six Realms. Clutching the sharp and cold blue icicle in her hand, the heartache and anger on her face were about to overflow, "Your Majesty, this thing was left after Xufeng disappeared. Someone must have taken advantage of my son's nirvana to make such a cruel move! Now that Xufeng's life and death are uncertain, Your Majesty should pull out the mastermind behind this and severely punish him!"
Heavenly Emperor Taiwei looked like a man who had been listening to a car honking for six hours straight. He sighed, looking at the icicle, "Heavenly Empress, the truth is not clear now, and Xufeng has not returned, so you shouldn't be impatient. If I find out who is scheming and plotting to assassinate Xufeng, I will definitely punish him severely according to the law."
The Heavenly Empress wasn't buying it. "The person behind the scenes knew that Xufeng practices the fire element and couldn't resist the invasion of the Sun-Exterminating Ice Edge, so they used such a vicious method to hurt him. May I ask that Xufeng is the God of War, who has the ability to make such a murder weapon and harm him?" She held the icicle tightly and questioned dissatisfiedly, "I have persuaded Your Majesty to appoint a Crown Prince early, lest you give some people an opportunity to take advantage of it, but Your Majesty just doesn't listen! Now that Xufeng is in trouble, Your Majesty is still calm. Is it true that you ignore the legitimate son and favor the eldest son?"
Taiwei's eye twitched. "Didn't I already summon the Night God to come to Jiuxiaoyun Hall to ask questions? What are you still talking about!" Taiwei brushed his sleeves unhappily, "Runyu is a little quiet, but he is pure and kind by nature. No matter what, I still don't want to believe that he will harm Xufeng."
Tuyao was about to open her red lips to complain to the manager again when she heard the immortal attendant announce, "The Night God has arrived!" She stopped talking, sat down, and looked ahead with Taiwei.
The Night God walked into the hall, lifted the hem of his fairy robes, and knelt down in front of the Heavenly Emperor and Empress. He said smoothly, "Runyu pays respects to Father Emperor and Mother Goddess." His head was lowered, and he looked exactly as pure and kind as Taiwei said he was.
Taiwei asked solemnly, "Runyu, I summoned you to ask you this. On the day of Xufeng's nirvana, have you ever gone to Qiwu Palace?"
Luo Yu shook his head, "Runyu has never."
Tuyao showed the icicle to the Night God, "So, do you recognize this thing?"
Luo Yu rolled his eyes inwardly, "Humph, if you want to throw the blame onto me, there is no such good thing in this world!"
Luo Yu's wide sleeves moved slightly as he went up a few steps in the hall, looking like he was carefully examining the icicle. Finally, his eyes were innocent as he said, "This is not a thing of Runyu. This son doesn't quite understand the meaning of the Mother Goddess."
Tuyao stared at him and said slowly, "The Night God thinks, who in the Heavenly Realm practices water spells and can make such a powerful, cold weapon?"
"Runyu can't think of it. Xufeng disappeared during nirvana. This son is also sad and anxious (not), but this matter really has nothing to do with Runyu (and has everything to do with that damn snake Yanyou)." The Night God thought back and continued, "On the way back to Xuanji Palace from the Star Falling Pool, this son was attacked by a man in black. This man has strong spiritual power and can use water and fire spells at the same time. This child was also injured by him."
Taiwei was surprised, "Is there still such a thing?"
"Where's the injury?" Tuyao obviously didn't believe it, "If it's just empty words from the Night God, I'm afraid it won't be enough to convince the whole Heavenly Realm."
Luo Yu looked very embarrassed. Seeing this, the Heavenly Empress became even more aggressive, "Why is the Night God mute?"
When Luo Yu was still a boy who loved to look at beautiful faces, while watching the old version of Heavenly Sword and Dragon Slaying Sabre, the one with the young Zhou Haimei acting as Zhou Zhiruo, he couldn't help but ask a thought-provoking question, "Mom, why did Zhang Wuji choose Zhao Min instead of Zhou Zhiruo?"
Thinking of this, His Eldest Highness the Night God's eyes were thick and greasy, and he smiled meaningfully, a look that said "I have a secret, and it's going to cost you your dignity" at an angle Taiwei couldn't see, "Emmmmm, does the Mother Goddess have to see it?"
Tuyao's phoenix hair stood on end in an instant. She shook off her phoenix bumps on her body. "Runyu's expression today was really strange," she thought. Except for the Night God, she really couldn't think of anyone else who could not only forge the Sun-Exterminating Ice Edge, but also disappear as if nothing had happened, and without showing a trace of a flaw. How does she know that it's not Runyu who is guilty of being a thief and deliberately posing this posture to bluff her?
Moreover, Tuyao was looking forward to Xufeng being appointed as the Crown Prince of the Heavenly Realm every day. She regarded Runyu as a thorn in her side day by day and tried to suppress him in all kinds of ways. She even secretly had her shadow guard monitor Runyu's every move, eager and plotting to catch a mistake, so that Runyu, a dragon, would be completely flattened into a salted fish and could no longer turn over. Thus, how could she let go of such a good opportunity?
Tuyao suppressed her mood caused by Luo Yu's strange eyes and said majestically, "Night God, His Majesty is here, and he will never wrong anyone. Since you have a clear conscience, why are you afraid of being seen?"
"Mother Goddess's words, this son agrees." Luo Yu nodded, the words "pure and kind" shining on his face. His beautiful eyes floated past the immortal attendants standing on both sides of Jiuxiaoyun Hall. He leaned over and pleaded to Taiwei, "Father Emperor, Jiuxiaoyun Hall is solemn. It's really not in line with etiquette to check wounds here. Runyu suggests going to the side hall to proceed with the examination. This son hopes Father Emperor will grant permission, so as to confirm that what Runyu said is true, and that I have nothing to do with Xufeng's disappearance."
Taiwei thought for a little bit and nodded, "Alright."
The immortal attendant who had just been to Xuanji Palace to summon the Night God nodded to Luo Yu. He stretched out his hand to signal, "Please lead the way, Your Highness."
"This son will take his leave," Luo Yu cusped his sleeves, saluted elegantly, and then retreated to the side hall with the immortal attendant.
Tuyao thought of the unclear glance before Runyu left, and looked at Taiwei, who had turned his attention to the folds on his imperial case and had no intention of going to see it in person. She gritted her teeth and stood up silently. She hesitated for a while, but worried that His Majesty's confidant immortal attendant would favor Runyu, she went down the jade steps lightly.
In the side hall, immortal attendant Baiyun stood opposite the Night God and said respectfully, "Your Highness, there is no one around here. Please signal where the injury is. After this little fairy has finished inspecting the injury, this little fairy will be able to report to His Majesty the Heavenly Emperor."
Luo Yu touched his chin, looking as if he were thinking, "It was dark that night, ah, let me think about it...." He raised his right hand, the elegant and huge cloud-patterned wide sleeves sliding down, revealing his fair and thin arms, and a string of extremely beautiful blue Mermaid's Tears bracelet shone on his wrist. Touching the flawless arm with no wound seen, Luo Yu said, "Well, it's not this arm."
Immortal attendant Baiyun nodded. Then, Luo Yu pulled his left sleeve up and looked from his intact left arm to Immortal Baiyun, "It's not this one either." Immortal attendant Baiyun smiled politely to show his understanding.
The Night God sat on the ground, lifted the hem of his fairy robes, took off his snow-white shoes, rolled up his trousers to his knee, and looked up at Immortal Baiyun and commented, "There is nothing on this leg."
Immortal attendant Baiyun really wanted to spray back with "I'm not blind", but he held back his temper and asked in the best tone he could muster, "Is it on Your Highness's right leg?"
"Let me take a look...." Luo Yu rolled up the trousers on his other leg, looked at the leg that could get him nominated as "The Six Realms' Top Model", and smiled brightly, as if oblivious to the immortal attendant's impatience, "Nothing here either!"
"Your Highness," immortal attendant Baiyun took a deep breath inwardly and said slowly, like he was talking to a particularly naughty bear child, "Please don't make a fuss. This little fairy's duty is to complete the examination as soon as possible, so as to return Your Highness's innocence earlier."
When Luo Yu saw the immortal attendant wanted to take action in person, he blinked, lifted his shoes with one hand, and rolled his body flexibly and lightly to the side, slipping away like a slippery fish. He ran in front, and immortal attendant Baiyun chased him from behind. They started a high-speed merry-go-round around the side hall's pillars. While chasing, Immortal Baiyun shouted angrily, "Eldest Highness! Stop it!"
Suddenly, a voice like exploding fireworks echoed through the hall. "RUNYU!!!"
Tuyao stood at the entrance, looking like an extremely angry phoenix Karen, her phoenix eyes wide enough to see into the next century. The shout instantly made the two people who were playing cat and mouse in the side hall skid to a halt. The eyes of the Heavenly Empress glared at the two of them in turn.
