Chapter 134 The Rabbit's Self-Inflicted Injury
The emperor came to Qishan City after hearing that there were divine bird eggs lying in the human world waiting to be auctioned.
Now that the mythical bird egg has been proven to be fake, he should logically go home.
Yun Yici and his group were heading to the far north of Kunlun, which was completely opposite to the Demon Realm.
Yun Yici informed him of this during negotiations on the night the imperial edict was issued, but he did not express any opinion.
Later, Yun Yici deduced from the words of the nameless elder brother that Di Zhao must have gotten tired of staying in the Demon Realm and wanted to travel around the Human Realm for a while.
As it happened, they knew his true identity, so the emperor's edict followed them.
Having confirmed that he meant no harm, the group awkwardly resumed their journey.
Lin Zhao and Yu Suqing were alright; knowing they had caused trouble for Yun Yici, they stayed indoors and rarely showed themselves.
They had already discussed with Yun Yici that they wanted to settle down somewhere far away from Qishan City.
So after passing two or three more cities, they disembarked.
The imperial edict was different. Whether day or night, the place he most often stayed was by the side of the boat. He leaned against it with his left leg bent and his right leg hanging down on the spirit boat. His clothes fluttered and his black hair flew sideways, as if he was about to become a celestial being at any moment.
Yun Yici was quite worried when she first saw his sitting posture, which looked like he might fall off at any moment.
She had intended to remind him, but after recalling the original form of the imperial edict, she felt relieved.
You're kidding me, it really can fly!
As for that nameless man, after spending more than ten days with him, Yun Yici managed to get his name out of him.
Li Shao.
Yun Yici was surprised, and then checked it three times.
Isn't this the name of the Demon Lord who later colluded with her nemesis, the villainous second senior brother?
After obtaining the essence of the Nine-Headed Serpent, Mu Yunjian returned to the Demon Realm to build his own power and began to collude with the Demon Realm, laying the foundation for the later cooperation between the Demon Realm and the Demon Realm to jointly attack the Human Realm.
The first Demon Lord from the Demon Realm to stand up and support Mu Yunjian was Li Shao.
Logically, Li Shao should be the master of the imperial edict, but there is no such person as the imperial edict in the story.
Could it be that this person is outwardly loyal but inwardly treacherous, using the pretext of rescuing human cultivators to win over human cultivators from the demon realm and then turn around and kill the Emperor's decree?
However, thinking about Li Shao's actions in the plot, Yun Yici became uncertain again.
Because Li Shao in the story has an extreme hatred for humans, he helped Mu Yun indirectly harm many humans, and he has no feelings of sympathy for humans.
The Li Shao in front of her spoke quite sincerely, making it hard to connect someone who had fallen to the bottom of society but still cared about his people with the future Demon Lord.
Despite the uncertainty, Yun Yici was still consciously wary of Mu Yunjian getting close to Li Shao.
The clouds at dusk were completely unaware of this.
Since the imperial edict was issued and the ship was boarded, he had been staying by Yun Yici's side in a somber mood during the day, and he did not retaliate even when the imperial edict mocked him.
Yun Yici soon noticed that the listless white rabbit dumpling was lying on the table every day, becoming more and more listless. In the end, it even let the naughty little eight peck at it without fighting back.
Yun Yici thought he was sick because of his unusual condition, so she didn't have time to teach Xiao Ba and took him to Wen Fuyue first.
Wen Fuyue dismissed Ning Tinglan and Yun Yici, and chatted briefly with the lifeless Mu Yunjian.
Afterwards, Wen Fuyue called all her disciples in.
Although Ning Tinglan and Rong Xuan had a bad relationship with Mu Yunjian in the past, Mu Yunjian's behavior has become much more restrained since Yun Yici joined the family.
Seeing his lifeless state, the two felt a pang of pity.
Ning Tinglan asked, "Is Senior Brother Mu ill? Or is there some problem with the fusion of the Nine Infant bloodline?"
Wen Fuyue shook her head and said, "It's a knot in my heart."
Rong Xuan had a sudden inspiration and thought of the extra imperial edicts on the spirit boat. He asked, "Is it because of the imperial edicts, Senior?"
Wen Fuyue looked down at the little rabbit lying on his lap and said, "Your junior sister and I will not expel the imperial edict because of what you've done."
"Today we drove away an imperial edict for you, but what will you do when you encounter other demons of noble blood in the future?"
Mu Yunjian's dim crimson eyes flickered. He hated Di Zhao, but he couldn't beat him, so he deliberately used a self-inflicted injury to try to get Wen Fuyue and Yun Yici to come forward and drive him away.
Unexpectedly, Wen Fuyue directly saw through his little scheme.
Having her dark thoughts exposed, Little Rabbit felt too ashamed to face anyone and turned her head away, not daring to look at Yun Yici and the other two in the room.
Wen Fuyue said, "I called you and your fellow disciples here not to embarrass you in public."
"We're family, so let's just say what's on our minds. There's no shame in it."
It took him a while to find his hoarse voice amidst the twilight clouds.
He said bitterly, "You didn't see how Emperor Zhao treated my junior sister so frivolously! He's only following us because he has ulterior motives!"
Wen Fuyue and the other two were unaware of the details of how the Emperor's decree and Yun Yici met and how close they had become, and they thought it was all a misunderstanding.
Upon hearing Mu Yunjian's words, everyone's expression changed.
Wen Fuyue also asked with concern, "Xiao Ci, what about the imperial edict concerning you...?"
Yun Yici couldn't help but rub her forehead and clarify, "No, no, he just mistook my identity and tried to get close to me on the way. He didn't do anything to me."
At most, I wanted to hug him, but I didn't. Instead, Mu Yunjian turned around and bit off my finger bone.
After Yun Yici recounted her entanglement with the imperial edict, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
If the Emperor's decree truly humiliated Yun Yici, then they, as her master and senior brothers, must seek justice for her no matter what.
We can't let him swagger onto the boat again.
Ning Tinglan said, "Senior Di Zhao is different from us. After making things clear, he should stop bothering Junior Sister."
The fact that the emperor mistakenly believed Yun Yici's identity to be his reason for seeking marriage shows that he placed great importance on social status.
After the misunderstanding was cleared up, the matter of proposing marriage was never mentioned again.
This is also one of the reasons why Ning Tinglan thinks Mu Yunjian is overthinking things.
Seeing that no one believed him, Mu Yunjian became so angry that he fell backward.
In his view, the imperial edict was aimed at Yun Yici.
Wen Fuyue couldn't help but say to him, "Your junior sister is interested in someone else, that's her freedom, and I, as her master, won't interfere with her. Why are you getting so angry?"
Mu Yunjian's mind went blank for a moment, then he said angrily, "In short, the imperial edict is not acceptable!"
Yun Yici never expected that this matter was caused by her. She was both amused and exasperated, and promised to coax Mu Yunjian, who was the best friend in the world, to make him feel better.
Seeing this, Wen Fuyue gave her disciples a few more words of instruction before letting them leave.
Yun Yici naturally took the lively rabbit, who was now excited and jumping around, back with her.
In addition to practicing cultivation techniques with Ning Tinglan, Wen Fuyue has another task in her daily life.
Every day he would take time to sit and discuss philosophy with the emperor. Perhaps the emperor respected him greatly, because in just half a month the two began to address each other as equals, and there was a subtle tendency for them to become friends.
This development completely surprised Yun Yici and the others, and they finally fully realized the terrifying nature of Wen Fuyue's talent for making friends all over the world.
