As soon as Run Yu sat down at the stone table, a green-robed deity strode over. It was the current Taihu Lord, Yanyou.

"Why are you here instead of staying in the Lower Bound?" Run Yu frowned and asked.

Yanyou slammed the table in front of him, "Run Yu, I heard that the Celestial Ruler has returned the military power to Xufeng?

Is that true? "

Run Yu took out a tea set and poured himself a cup, "It's just the Emperor's way of weighing the pros and cons. Even if there's no such thing, my father will not sit back and watch me grow up. He's not old enough to hand over the power."

He didn't care much, but Kuang Lu was a little indignant, "Even so, he shouldn't change his orders all the time. It's like child's play."

Yanyou also nodded, "The Celestial Ruler's actions are too disappointing."

Run Yu heard this and glanced between Kuang Lu and Yanyou. He thought that the two of them were really telepathic.

Yanyou thought about it and sat down opposite Run Yu. He said sincerely, "Run Yu, if you don't have the military power in hand, then that matter will become very dangerous. Do you need to reconsider?"

Run Yu took a sip of tea and looked up at him, "You only know the danger today?"

Run Yu played with the teacup in his hand and said in a low voice, "This matter can't be rushed. The key is not the military power, but the people's hearts."

Yanyou was puzzled, "Run Yu, I don't understand why you are so persistent. If it's for revenge, Thayao has no spiritual power now and is despised by the six realms. Even if Xufeng takes over in the future, she won't be able to do anything."

"Thayao?" Run Yu sneered, "She's just a knife in someone else's hand!

No matter how vicious a woman's heart is, it can't be more vicious than the emperor's heart. "

Run Yu looked at Yanyou. His face was calm but his eyes were dark, "Didn't my mother tell you that my birth was a conspiracy of Tai Wei?"

Yan You had heard Su Li mention this before, but at this time, he was suppressed by Su Li's aura and couldn't speak for a while.

"In Tai Wei's eyes, my mother, Thayao, and I are just his chess pieces to fight for power and profit. The thirty thousand aquatic creatures in Dongting Palace are just dust. They're not worth mentioning.

Over the past year, I've read through all the files in the past. For thousands of years, because of too little ambition, countless lives were plunged into misery and suffering. The dragonfish clan wasn't the only one that was overturned. "

At this point, Run Yu lowered his eyes again. He stood up and walked to the center of the yard. He stared at the full moon in the sky and said slowly, "I used to protect myself but I still had hope. Now I have nothing in my heart. If I don't fight back, how can I be satisfied?

Going against the trend and changing my fate, one for myself and the other for the common people. Even if I die, I don't regret it. "

Yanyou and Kuang Lu were shocked when they heard this. They looked at each other and stood up at the same time. They raised their hands and said, "We're willing to help His Highness."

Run Yu looked back and smiled. Under the moonlight, he was like a peerless jade that could be broken but not broken.

Yanyou and Kuang Lu still couldn't forget his smile and proud posture even after thousands of years.

Three years later.

The Heaven Realm was about to usher in an important day. That was the 9000th birthday of Night God and His Highness.

Princes would hold a celebration every thousand years. In the past, when Thayao was on the throne and Night God was on the decline, no one dared to mention the thousandth birthday.

But now, Night God and Fire God were well-known as the two pillars of the Heaven Realm. One was in charge of the imperial court and the other was in charge of weapons.

In particular, Night God also assisted Celestial Ruler in close combat. He neglected sleep and food, racked his brains, and helped the common people. Everyone in the six realms praised him.

Therefore, someone reported to Celestial Ruler early and held a thousandth birthday banquet for Night God.

Celestial Ruler nodded and agreed. He also specially ordered that it should be grand.

In the Xuanji Palace, Kuang Lu looked at the figure of Run Yu kneeling in front of Shuli's memorial tablet and sighed for the umpteenth time in the past two months.

Two months ago, His Highness came back from the Provincial Pavilion and locked himself in his bedroom. He didn't eat or sleep and stared at a string of transparent bracelets in a daze every day. He even took a leave of absence from the imperial court.

Three days later, His Highness stepped out of the palace. The first thing he did was to summon Kuang Lu's father, Tai Si.

Kuang Lu walked to Run Yu's side and said softly, "His Highness, His Majesty just sent someone to pass on a message. The second day of next month is your birthday. He wants to prepare a celebration for you in the Nine Heavens Palace."

Run Yu didn't say anything. After a long time, he stood up and shook his robe, "I know. I'll tell your father about this today."

"His Highness," Kuang Lu hesitated. "Have you decided?"

Kuang Lu was well aware of what her father and His Highness were plotting. That was why she asked this question.

Run Yu just stared at the memorial tablet, "I can't wait any longer."

Only then did Kuang Lu clasp her hands and walk out, closing the door behind her on her way out.

Run Yu's tense back collapsed bit by bit. He slowly walked to the bed and took out the string of beads from under the pillow. He put it in front of his heart and stared blankly.

This was the string of hidden soul beads he made for Carp. It had been accompanying Carp since he was born. He searched for it by Dongting Lake for a day and a night before he found it in the mud. However, there was no sign of Carp on it.

But now, he only had this thing to pay tribute to Carp.

Kuang Lu asked him if he had decided. In fact, he had decided as early as when he accidentally heard Tai Wei's words in the Provincial Scripture Pavilion.

"My son's reputation can't be ruined because of a Child of Taboo."

Child of Taboo!

Hahahaha, it turned out that Celestial Ruler had known about it. He knew everything!

It was him who watched Carp's soul disappear. It was him who acquiesced to Tu Yao's concealment. It was also him who ordered people to destroy the Yunmeng Lake and personally erased the last trace of his mother and Carp in this world!

How could he not hate!

That hatred burned his five viscera and lungs. He couldn't wait to pull out the Red Cloud Sword on the spot and behead the enemy who destroyed his family under the sword!

But no, he wasn't ready yet. He still had to wait, wait for an excuse, wait for a grand banquet.

At that time, he must let Tai Wei be consigned to eternal damnation!

The night before the birthday banquet, in the Xuanji Palace.

"His Highness, my father is here." Kuang Lu reported.

"Then please invite Immortal Tai Si in."

Immortal Tai Si bowed and stepped forward, "His Highness, everything is ready for tomorrow. Beat the drum as the signal and take off the armor as the order."

Run Yu sat at the stone table and nodded, "Okay.

Is there any news from Xufeng? "

"His Highness, according to the plan, the God of Fire is still fighting in the Demon Realm, but I don't know if he will return tomorrow."

Run Yu didn't care, "It doesn't matter.

The morale of the army has changed. He can't bring the army back in time. Even if he comes back, he can't do anything by himself. "

Daoist Tai Si pondered for a moment and said after a while, "But Your Highness, Fire God Highness' strength is tyrannical. He once repelled a hundred thousand troops of the Devil World by himself. I'm worried that if he is bent on harming Your Highness, then …"

Run Yu's hand on the table clenched tightly, "If he wants to protect Tai Wei and kill me, then let him do it.

Life and death are fated. Success and failure are up to the heavens.

But what I told you last time, don't do anything unless it's absolutely necessary. "

"I know, then I'll take my leave."

"Go."

After Tai Si left, Run Yu thought for a moment and went to the Flower Realm.

Changfang's Lord was surprised to see Run Yu, "May I know why Night God is visiting so late at night?"

Run Yu smiled, "Changfang's Lord is too polite. Run Yu is just asking for tomorrow. May I know if Changfang's Lord will come tomorrow?"

Changfang's Lord said respectfully, "I will definitely come with Water God to congratulate His Highness."

Run Yu pursed his lips and didn't say anything. After a while, he said, "Run Yu has another question."

"His Highness, please speak."

"After the Flower Deity passed away, the Flower Realm didn't participate in the disputes of the Heaven Realm. For thousands of years, it has been neutral. May I know if it's still the same?"

"Of course."

"What if it involves Water God?"

Changfang's Lord said in a low voice, "What does His Highness mean by this?"

Run Yu smiled faintly, "Water God stands aloof from worldly affairs, but not everyone around her is.

Does Changfang's Lord know? "

Changfang looked at his expression and said tentatively, "I will advise His Highness."

Run Yu put his hands behind his back and said with a smile, "Changfang's Lord can understand my intentions. That's good.

Run Yu also promises Changfang's Lord that I will not harm Water God at all. "

Changfang's Lord heaved a sigh of relief and bowed, "Thank you for His Highness' advice.

May I know if His Highness has any other requests? "

"Run Yu isn't greedy. I came late at night just to clarify this matter.

Since the matter is clear, Run Yu should take his leave. "

Run Yu cupped his hands and turned into a ray of light, soaring into the sky.

After he left, Mistress Haitang appeared from the corner and asked, "Elder sister, what are you guys talking about?

I don't understand a single word. "

Changfang's Lord ignored her and was silent for a while. Suddenly, he said, "You and I don't have to go to Night God's birthday banquet tomorrow.

As for Jin Mi, she especially can't go. "

Mistress Haitang was puzzled, "Why?"

"There might be a big change in the main hall tomorrow.

Night God came to warn me not to let Jin Mi interfere, especially not to help Fire God. Otherwise, he won't be merciful. "

"We never wanted to interfere with Celestial Ruler's family's shady business.

But isn't Fire God still in the Demon Realm? "

"Who knows?" Changfang's Lord shook his head, "Maybe there's something on Fire God that he's afraid of."
