Chapter 1289: Chapter 1289: The Sage Ruler’s Kneel
Qin Sisi felt a pain in her heart, just about to speak, when Ye You kissed her fiercely, with a hint of ruthlessness and despair, entangled without rest.
Qin Sisi’s tears flowed down, curling up in Ye You’s arms and sobbing softly.
Ye You lifted her face and asked gently, "That wasn’t your true feelings, was it?"
Tears streaming down, Qin Sisi couldn’t speak, and the tears slipped onto Ye You’s fingers, clearly cold, yet causing him burning pain.
Ye You embraced Qin Sisi in his arms, whispered, "I won’t let you go, this life, I only want you. If you leave, how can I live alone? Can you bear it?"
Leaning against Ye You’s chest, Qin Sisi bit her lip tightly, her body trembling slightly.
Ye You carried Qin Sisi to the bed and gently stroked her cheek, saying, "Don’t overthink, there will always be a way, give me some time."
After a long hesitation, Qin Sisi slowly nodded.
The words of wanting to leave alone earlier were indeed a bit impulsive. On calm reflection, such a lingering life, even if it lasts for decades, would be too dull.
In the following days, Ye You was very busy, managing the affairs of the Demon Sacred Realm while figuring out how to leave safely.
He summoned Yun Wang and Qing Xun for a discussion, intending to have them jointly govern the Demon Sacred Realm after his departure, but Yun Wang and Qing Xun both disagreed with Ye You’s suggestion.
The Eight Great Families have ancestral teachings not to go against the superior or act against the Jiu Xi Royal Family, so all the Eight Great Families genuinely feared the Jiu Xi Royal Family.
If the ruler is not from the Jiu Xi Royal Family, this fear would not exist, and someone might feign compliance and act contrary, which would be detrimental to governing the Demon Sacred Realm.
Meanwhile, Qing Xun raised a concern: "What if you don’t return for a long time?"
Yun Wang and Qing Xun can only act as temporary managers, without the qualification to inherit the position of Sage Ruler. If the Sage Ruler position remains vacant for a long time, changes are bound to occur.
Emotionally, they both certainly did not wish Ye You to just leave like this, but they clearly understood the relationship between Ye You and Qin Sisi, knowing they couldn’t stop Ye You, they could only help him to the best of their ability, allowing him to pursue what he wants with peace of mind.
After discussion, they all believed that, in the long run, it would be best for the temporary manager to also be from the Jiu Xi Royal Family to maintain long-term stability.
However, the clansmen of the Jiu Xi Royal Family living in Wang City in Fengge were absorbed of the Magic Source by the vile Tian Xiaozi, turning into ordinary people, unable to take on the heavy responsibility of a temporary manager.
In the current situation, they could only look for branches of the Jiu Xi Royal Family scattered outside Wang City in Fengge, but where could they easily find a suitable candidate?
Magic power, management skills, temperament and character, sense of responsibility, none of which can be lacking; it’s like searching for a needle in a haystack.
A few days later, one morning in Heavenly Magic God’s Castle, the loving couple Huo Huan and Xiao Zhu had just woken up from sleep.
Huo Huan got out of bed slowly, sighing with emotion, how bustling the Heaven Academy at Heavenly Magic God’s Castle used to be, with a bunch of teachers and students, even though there were times when the kids’ poor performance would be annoying, life was so fulfilling!
Now enrollment has been paused, several teachers have also left, even Master Yipiao was urgently called away, and Heavenly Magic God’s Castle suddenly became quiet, a quietness that felt uncomfortable.
Huo Huan lazily opened the door, yawned, suddenly his gaze froze, seeming to see something very frightening, stunned for a moment, he stepped back, and with a "bang", slammed the door shut.
Xiao Zhu, who was dressing at the table, was startled by the sudden loud door slam, glanced at him reproachfully, and snapped, "What on earth is so alarming this early in the morning?"
Huo Huan, paler than usual, rushed to Xiao Zhu and said, "It’s bad, it’s bad, it’s bad."
"What’s bad? What’s out there?" Xiao Zhu looked outside bafflingly, but the door was tightly closed, and nothing could be seen.
Huo Huan grabbed Xiao Zhu’s arm, staring blankly and said, "I saw Ye You."
Xiao Zhu blinked: "Ye You is here? So what if he came, what are you afraid of, we haven’t offended him."
Huo Huan shook his head vigorously, continued, "He knelt before me, isn’t that terrifying?"
Xiao Zhu was first dumbfounded, slowly, her expression became serious.
Ye You has officially succeeded as the Sage Ruler, the most noble person in the Demon Sacred Realm, kneeling to Huo Huan means he has a big request.
Xiao Zhu took a deep breath, stood up, and said, "Let’s go, have a look, if it’s fortune, it’s not disaster, if it’s disaster, we can’t avoid it."
Huo Huan put Xiao Zhu’s hand on his chest, pitifully said, "Wife, feel it, my heart is pounding hard, almost like when we got married."
"Get away." Xiao Zhu’s delicate fist tapped Huo Huan’s chest, giving him a glare, ultimately showing a shy look.
The door was opened again, and Huo Huan and Xiao Zhu appeared at the entrance simultaneously.
Ye You remained in the same position he was in when he saw Huo Huan, facing the door, kneeling on one knee, his torso straight, with particularly deep and solemn purple eyes looking at them.
Huo Huan didn’t want to show cowardice in front of Xiao Zhu, puffed his chest and shouted loudly, "Kid, get up now, or I’ll throw you out."
Xiao Zhu gently touched Huo Huan’s arm, signaling him to calm down, then looked at Ye You and said warmly, "Sage Ruler, please rise, let’s talk inside!"
Ye You then stood up and followed behind Huo Huan and Xiao Zhu into the room.
After a secret conversation, a helpless expression appeared on Huo Huan’s face as he looked at Ye You and asked, "Do you know why I haven’t left the Heavenly Magic God’s Castle to help you in battle?"
Huo Huan is a branch of the Jiu Xi Royal Family, proficient in Fire magic, in theory, when Ye You is in trouble, as a clansman, he should give a hand.
Ye You shook his head in response, "I don’t know, and no need to know."
The Heavenly Magic God’s Castle was originally an idyllic place, not involved in any political events, and Master Yipiao tried hard to keep it out, yet many teachers couldn’t let go of their family.
Huo Huan said self-consciously, "Because I understand you, although I don’t consider myself a gentleman, I believe evil won’t prevail over good, Tian Xiaozi will surely not be your match, since you’ll win eventually, why should I risk my future for a bit of false fame."
There’s a rule in the Heavenly Magic God’s Castle that any teacher participating in the war cannot return to be a teacher there.
