The fairy world collapsed, and the down-and-out gods were laid off and re-employed.

But Zhang and Yu couldn't tell whether they were lying. Because judging from the severity of the punishment, it was something his parents could do.

His father and mother were notoriously strict in the immortal world, and they could not tolerate any mistakes in their treatment of the immortal family or their own children.

Zhang Heyu used to bully Xiaoxian based on his status, but was beaten with a hundred sticks by the Emperor of Heaven. He was demoted to the mortal world and went through three reincarnations before returning to the Heavenly Palace.

In those three lives, he experienced all the sufferings in the world, and none of them ended well. Hundreds of years after returning to heaven, he often had nightmares about the day he would descend to earth.

But although they were strict, his parents never insulted the personality of others, and all gods who made mistakes were dealt with according to heaven's rules. How is it possible to knock out other people's teeth or gouge out their noses?

"I don't know what these two people are talking about." Zhang Heyu sat next to Jiang Zhixia and said hesitantly: "But there is one thing I can tell you. My father did protect the youngest son of the Southern Emperor."

At that time, the immortals and demons were at war, and the Emperor of Heaven had to rely on the four great emperors to jointly defeat the enemy. In order to maintain unity, he could only postpone this matter temporarily.

He held his cheek and sighed heavily, feeling very depressed, "Sister Jiang, my father is not a good god, right? He violated his own principles and is a sanctimonious god."

Jiang Zhixia said frankly, "When your father ordered my Lingqing disciples to wear spiritual locks, I really hated him. But I only understood why he did it yesterday. I think if I were him, I might do better than him. He was ruthless and even ordered the massacre of the whole family of Lingqing. The old man relented in the end."

"what does it mean?"

She looked into his clear eyes and smiled lightly, "It doesn't mean anything. What I want to say is that your parents did not run away when the world changed. Instead, they fought against the gods and demons and sacrificed their lives. This is not sanctimonious. People will do it."

"But they are too strict." Zhang Heyu felt a little uncomfortable. "The immortals all felt that they were inhumane, like emotionless monsters, and they protected the 'criminals' in the end. They were busy all day, and even their lives were at stake. Nothing has changed.”

Jiang Zhixia patted his shoulder: "I believe your parents have their own considerations. They chose what they thought was the most beneficial option in different situations. The result may not be very good in hindsight. But they tried their best and did their best. everything that can be done.

It's normal that they can't change, because the problem is not theirs at all. "

While talking, Liu Mosi came in with the food, "Don't worry, it's made by Su Su herself. There is absolutely no grass."

"Why are you the only one, where are the second child and the little rabbit?"

"The two of them went to report to the senior brother. The second senior sister also found out many people who scolded her today, and asked the boss to teach them a lesson. That kid He Susu can't sit still, and likes to go crazy outside."

"It's a day-to-day thing, and it's quite torturous."

Jiang Zhixia picked up the chopsticks, but found that she was full after just two bites.

I can't eat or sleep. I must be dying. When she thought about this, she couldn't help but feel sad. She looked up at the sky and sighed, "It's over before I even become the richest man..."

"Whoever is angry with Master Jiang, let me hear it."

The Immortal Emperor pushed open the door with Bihe and Xiuzhu, and his eyes stayed on Zhang Heyu.

Zhang Heyu was frightened by the vicious gaze and hid behind Jiang Zhixia. But his reaction pleased the Immortal Emperor.

He withdrew his gaze with satisfaction, sat down, and asked kindly: "I heard them say that Master Jiang is interested in a slave and wants to admit him."

"You are quite well-informed." She picked up the handkerchief and wiped her mouth. "Yes, these are all your people. You don't know anything. Why didn't they tell you that I beat a slave today? Don't you go there? Let’s take a look, just in case that person is the spy I installed.”

The Immortal Emperor was slightly startled, then smiled and said: "It's my villain's heart, don't blame Master Jiang. It's just that Wangxian is not stable yet, so I have to be careful."

"You can cover the sky with one hand, so what are you afraid of?" Jiang Zhixia said: "If I were the Emperor of Heaven, I would have to come over and call you dad sooner or later. Where is Chen Piaopiao?"

"I will ask Xiuzhu to bring her here." The Immortal Emperor winked at Xiuzhu, "If you go outside early in the morning, I'm afraid that she will run out to find you and you will get distracted. So I kept her in the room."

"You are so considerate."

"You're welcome, Master Jiang. How do you feel about my place?"

"Very good." She nodded in praise, "It's rich and there are many people. It's only when I'm here that I feel like a boss. This servant follows you first and then embraces you, which is very useful."

"That's good." The Immortal Emperor was overjoyed, "I'm afraid that the people around me will be ignorant and neglectful. Today I specially sent Xiuzhu and Bihe to take care of me personally."

"Spy on me? Are you too impatient? I've only been here for a few days."

The Immortal Emperor didn't expect that she would let it go after seeing through it, and he said it so straightforwardly. His expression was a little stiff, but he quickly recovered, "Master Jiang is worrying too much. I do it out of good intentions, and I am afraid that the servants will be ignorant and neglectful. If How many slaves are offended like today..."

"Don't be so nervous, I'm just joking." She interrupted him, "Don't worry, I won't leave in a short time. My goal has not been achieved yet."

"What purpose?" he asked pretending not to care.

"Don't you know everything?" She deliberately didn't say anything further and looked at the Immortal Emperor leisurely.

"Where do you start talking about this?" No one on either side said anything, and the whole room was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

If Jiang Zhixia hadn't been blocking them, Zhang Heyu might have fainted from nervousness.

"Haha." She smiled nonchalantly, "I told the girl who led you when I came here that I came here to find something."

The Immortal Emperor slightly clenched his palms, "What is it?"

"A dragon ball. It hasn't rained in the north for ten years. I passed by and heard people complaining. The noise gave me a headache. After catching the dragon and asking about it, I found out that the dragon ball was lost.

I also heard from Fairy Piaopiao that the Dragon Ball had appeared here, so I went with her to look for the Dragon Ball, and at the same time sold a favor to Xu Xuan, so that the head of their family could return some of our things.

What, that girl didn’t tell you? Or didn't you find out from my senior brothers and sisters? "

"Master Jiang is joking." The Immortal Emperor let go of his hand and breathed a sigh of relief, "Mo Xianjun told me that I misunderstood the Master and thought you were looking for something else. I'm sorry, you old man. Offer tea instead of wine to apologize to the leader."

After drinking tea, the Immortal Emperor reassured her that he would ask people to find Longzhu, "Since Master Jiang doesn't want so many people around, I won't let them come for now. But if the people below are offended, Jiang Zhang Anyone can teach you a lesson at will, but I will never pay attention."

After that, he turned and left.

"Immortal Emperor, wait a minute." Jiang Zhixia stopped him, "I went to find my senior brother today and saw him planting grass with a bunch of people. The grass looked very ordinary, why did he plant so much?"

"Some worthless stuff."

The Immortal Emperor mumbled a few words, then turned and left.

After he left, Zhang Heyu sat down on the chair with his legs slumped, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and covered his chest, "The look in that man's eyes was too scary. This is the first time I've seen him."

"How do you usually work when you are so promising? What are you afraid of? He can still eat you up with his eyes?" She poked Zhang Heyu's forehead, "Next time, sit next to me and look directly at him to see if he can eat you up. How about it?"

"Ah?!" Zhang Heyu curled his lips aggrievedly.

Xiuzhu brought Chen Piaopiao here and left voluntarily. Jiang Zhixia deliberately opened the door and window and talked loudly with her about the Dragon Ball. Later, Lin Yi came back with He Susu "complaining", and several people chatted in the room. It was so lively that they didn't disperse until dark.

Zhang Heyu and Jiang Zhixia were the only two people left in the room. As Jiang Zhixia's "little lover", he couldn't sleep outside on the first night. Jiang Zhixia threw two quilts for him and asked him to sleep on the ground.

Late at night, Zhang Heyu tossed and turned and couldn't close his eyes. He turned to look at Jiang Zhixia's bed and asked in a low voice: "Sister Jiang, are you asleep?"

"No."

Jiang Zhixia felt that she was really going to die and couldn't sleep the next night.

"I can't sleep either." He turned over and faced this side completely, "Sister Jiang, are you scared?"

"What are you afraid of?"

"A lot." He pursed his lips, "For example, when Lingqing is gone, or when facing the Immortal Emperor."

"Are you afraid?"

"Yes." He huddled under the quilt, "I'm afraid of many things. Ever since my father and mother died, I've been afraid every day. But because of my identity, I can't show it. Sometimes I want to be the one who died. , it would be nice if he wasn't my father, at least he wouldn't be as useless as me. If he cooperates with his elder brother, he will always be better than me."

"Who said you're useless?"

"No one said it, I thought it myself." He whispered: "I know that the immortal family is not convinced by me. They didn't say it on the surface, but in their hearts they were scolding me for being weak. I shouldn't compromise with the demon world and give them half of the Three Realms. .”

Jiang Zhixia opened the bed curtains and sat up, "Tell me honestly, why did you come down this time!?"

He was silent for a long time and buried his head deeper, "I can't do it, I really can't do it!"

He suppressed his crying, "I can't face so many things alone. My father and mother left without explaining anything. Now everyone in the fairy world has their own agenda, and if they make a mistake, they will be doomed.

I'm just timid. It was because of his cowardice that my eldest brother came forward to sign a treaty with the demon world for me, and he suffered infamy, making himself the target of public criticism. Now I have to risk my life to help me get rid of the traitors around me. But until now, I can't find a way to clear his name, and I can't tell who the bad guy is.

If...if something happens to my eldest brother, I won't be able to be the Emperor of Heaven for long. I think instead of doing this, it would be better to find him, even if I die with him..."

Jiang Zhixia got out of bed, lifted Zhang Heyu's quilt, pulled him up, and slapped him. "Do you want to drag him to death? Let me ask you, do you want to drag him to death?"

"I didn't..." Zhang Heyu was stunned.

"He has already reached this level, what else do you want him to do? Are you happy unless you force him to die with you?"

"no……"

"Zhang Heyu, listen to me." Jiang Zhixia knelt down and held his face with her hands. In the darkness, she stared at him.

"No one is born to be the emperor of heaven. Mortals dare to say that the emperor takes turns and comes to my house this year. What are you afraid of?

Are you timid? ! Is it cowardly to be able to go to war with his father and save his life on the battlefield? Are the people who can take the initiative to take over the mess in the fairy world cowardly when they are leaderless?

The moment the war failed, Xie Zezhidu thought about running away. According to you, is he also a timid and incompetent person?

As for asking for peace, you didn't do it wrong. In that case, what's the point of fighting to the death? If you save the land and lose the people, everyone and the land will be lost; if you save the people and lose the land, everyone and the land will survive. Without the gap of two hundred years, the fairy world would have died long ago. As for whether we will survive or make a comeback, it all depends on what we do next.

Let those who can't figure it out, just do your thing well, and the facts will explain everything for you when the time comes.

You can't quit, at least not until you find someone more suitable than you! After you retreat, the fairy world will be in chaos, and there will be no need to fight in the demon world. We will commit suicide from within. So even if you are so scared that you sit in the main hall and cry, you are not allowed to retreat! "

"Sister Jiang..."

Jiang Zhixia wiped his tears, coaxed him to lie down, and lay beside him, "Don't be afraid, Xiaohe, Xie Zezhi and I are here, and everyone in Lingqing is too. The sky will not fall."

"Sister Jiang..." Zhang Heyu couldn't help but turned sideways and begged: "Can you hug me?"

My mother is gone. In the countless dark nights that followed, no matter how scared he was, no one would come to hold him or comfort him.

Jiang Zhixia didn't say anything, she just held him in her arms and stroked his back.

"I...I won't cry for one more night." Zhang Heyu tightened her clothes, her body shook uncontrollably, and tears poured out crazily. He said with a hoarse voice and choked with sobs: "I miss my mother...Sister Jiang, I miss them...but I only think about one more night..."

All the fears, all the accumulated tears, and all the grievances suffered during the past two hundred years, in an instant, like a flood, broke through the "dam" that Zhang Heyu had created for himself in his heart.

Jiang Zhixia patted Zhang Heyu on the back. Shrouded in darkness, she seemed to have returned to those nights when she was alone in Lingqing. The person in her arms changed from Zhang Heyu to herself.

She asked herself: Jiang Zhixia, the future is bleak, are you afraid?
