The next day, another important guest came to visit.

The door was kicked open by him. As soon as Yanyou entered, he began to shout, "Run Yu!

Run Yu! "

Run Yu came out from the flower bed behind the door and smiled, "You're here. What are you shouting about?"

Yanyou turned around and looked at him for a while. He smiled with tears in his eyes, "You finally remembered to inform me."

Run Yu was also a little emotional. If Jin Mi hadn't mentioned it yesterday, he probably wouldn't have remembered to summon Yanyou.

Run Yu walked over and patted him on the shoulder, "Sit down and talk."

Facing Yanyou, Run Yu had to tell him the ins and outs of what happened yesterday.

Fortunately, Yanyou wasn't as long-winded as Jin Mi. He only told Run Yu about some interesting things he had seen and heard in the past two hundred years. The two chatted happily.

Suddenly, Run Yu thought of something and asked, "How's the Heavenly Realm now?"

"How else can it be?"

Yanyou sneered, "Tai Si and Danju are fighting each other. Pojun is in a dilemma, and the others are fence-sitters."

"I didn't expect Uncle to intervene in the court now," Run Yu sipped his tea, "But it's also true. Besides Xufeng and I, he's the most orthodox candidate for the throne. Even if he doesn't want to fight, someone will push him up.

What's more, if he doesn't go up, someone he doesn't like will go up. Even if he's angry, he won't stop. "

"You really don't plan to go back to the Heavenly Realm?"

"No," Run Yu shook his head, "I was defeated and died in the Heavenly Demon War. I'm already a disgrace to the Heavenly Realm. Even if I go back, I won't be able to convince the people."

"With your skills, you're still afraid of this?

Why don't you just say that you don't want to go back? "

"Indeed, I have no intention of going back." Run Yu's slender fingers gently stroked the rim of the cup. "I've stayed enough in the Heaven Realm.

Other than you, not many people know that I am still alive in this world. The current Heaven Realm has nothing to do with me, but if they can choose a good candidate, I can have less worries. "

"But based on the current situation …"

"Danju is not suitable for the throne. His vision is narrow, and he only recognizes people based on their relatives. If he ascends the throne, it will be chaotic sooner or later. Although Tai Si is sensible and adaptable, he is too tactful and slippery. He is also not a good candidate for the throne.

Xufeng once told me that Danju's elder brother, Lian Chao, is still alive. At that time, I saw some of his past political affairs files, and they were very good. Plus, he is of pure blood. If you are interested, you can ask him to come out of retirement. "

"I don't care about what's going on in the Heaven Realm. If I were to say that I would help you make a trip there, it would be fine."

Run Yu chuckled and shook his head. "Alright, I'll owe you a favor."

Yanyou suddenly looked at the peach tree behind Run Yu. "But I heard that Xufeng also tried to persuade him back then, but he didn't succeed.

He seems to have seen through the mortal world and doesn't want to be involved in it at all. "

"Is that so?

Then I still need to think of a way … "Run Yu tapped his fingertips on the table a few times, and said to Yanyou," How is Recluse? "

Yanyou blinked. "You said Recluse?

Not long after you left, he was removed from power. "

"I guessed so.

Thayao was once the bird race's greatest support. Her torture and death were all caused by me. Recluse relied on me, and the bird race has long complained about him. "

Run Yu paused for a moment, and then his tone turned cold. "But he can't control the bird race without me. He's also a useless thing."

Recluse had loyally supported him in the past, but now Run Yu's words were so cold and ruthless that even Yanyou couldn't help but frown.

After a moment, Yanyou said, "He's gone."

Run Yu sipped his tea. "I know."

"Why do you have to make it sound so unpleasant?"

"Sooner or later, he'll remember what kind of person I am."

Yanyou sighed and shook his head.

After eating lunch and sending off Yanyou, Run Yu once more knelt in front of the shrine platform.

Normally, Xufeng never came to disturb him, and if he did, he would silently kneel beside him.

Today, Xufeng walked up behind him. After a moment of silence, he suddenly said, "No matter how long you kneel, Carp won't be able to return."

Run Yu trembled, but he didn't turn around. "I know."

"Did you deliberately say those words today for me to hear?"

"You think too much."

"The matter of the Mother Goddess has already turned a page in my heart. Why must you bring it up again?"

"What about Imperial Father?"

Run Yu slowly stood up and turned around. "In order to save you, he didn't hesitate to destroy his own primordial spirit. Don't you hate me?"

Xufeng's eyes reddened. "They were in the wrong first."

Run Yu let out a deep breath. His Adam's apple bobbed, but he no longer spoke.

Xufeng stepped forward and hugged him. "Yu'er, I know the pain in your heart. Carp died, and that was my fault. Don't always blame yourself.

We still have a long time, and we can still have children … "

"No!" Run Yu pushed him away. "I won't have any more children!

I won't! "

Xufeng hugged him tightly again, choking with sobs. "As long as you're willing, this time, you can let me …"

"No!"

Unexpectedly, Run Yu still pushed him away. This time, he pushed him even harder and even more ruthlessly. His eyes were red, and he looked at Xufeng with a fierce and ferocious gaze. "Xufeng, you don't understand anything!

To you, Carp was just the result of your one night stand, an illusion you saw in a pearl. But to me, it wasn't!

Carp was exchanged with my life. He was the hottest blood in my heart. Without him, my heart is completely cold. No matter how much you try to cover it up, it can't be covered up!

In my life, I won't have a second child. I won't let anyone take his place in my heart! "

As these words were spoken, Run Yu's cheeks were already wet with tears. Xufeng wasn't much better. His entire body was sluggish as he stared blankly at Carp's memorial tablet.

After a moment, Run Yu put down his hand and slowly straightened his back. "Xufeng, I don't blame you, I don't hate you, but there is no way for me not to blame you. Do you understand?" His voice was no longer choked with sobs. Instead, it was so clear that there was almost no warmth in it.

After a long time, Xufeng glanced at Run Yu and silently nodded.

Run Yu painfully closed his eyes and ran out, leaving behind Xufeng kneeling in front of the shrine platform, sobbing …

In the evening, Xufeng found Run Yu near a small stream behind the house. He wasn't crying. Rather, he was hugging his knees and staring at the stream.

Xufeng slowly walked over and sat down beside him. Like this, the two of them sat side by side in silence.

It wasn't until the sky was completely dark that Run Yu spoke his first words.

"Xufeng, we can no longer go back."

"…"

"I thought about this for a month before I understood this truth.

I can't pretend that nothing happened. "Run Yu looked at Xufeng." You are the same, aren't you? "

Xufeng lowered his head, not speaking.

"In this month, you didn't dare to speak, you didn't dare to ask, and you didn't dare to touch me. Even your only friend was driven away because of a few words from me.

Do you feel good about living such a careful life?

Heh, Fu Meng, is this how your dreams are?

“

Xufeng desperately shook his head, but he still didn't speak.

"Xufeng, I am no longer the Run Yu of the past. The Run Yu of the past who would make you feel satisfied as long as you smiled is dead, and the willful Xufeng is also dead.

We can no longer go back to the past. "

Xufeng finally opened his mouth. But the moment he opened his mouth, he was interrupted by Run Yu.

"Xufeng, let's separate."

This was a light sigh, but it caused Xufeng to instantly collapse.

Tears gushed out of his eyes. He grabbed Run Yu's hand and slowly said, "Yu'er, you can blame me, you can hate me, you can blame me, you can even not love me. As long as you let me stay by your side, let me accompany you, let me take care of you, is that okay?

I won't touch you. We can get along like ordinary friends. I just want to see you every day. Don't drive me away, okay? "

Xufeng sobbed like a child. Run Yu had never seen him like this.

"I'm not driving you away, I …" Run Yu's tears slowly went out of control. "Xufeng, when I see you, I think of Carp. I think of him asking me, where is daddy?"

"Yu'er, I'm sorry, I'm sorry …" Xufeng calmed down when he saw him crying. He wiped the tears on Run Yu's face with one hand and held him in his arms with the other. "It's my fault. I hurt Carp and you …"

"It's not your fault. I know I shouldn't blame you, but I don't know who to blame …" Run Yu lay in Xufeng's arms and sobbed. "Xufeng, I miss Carp. I miss … I miss Carp …"

Xu Feng hugged him tightly and gently patted his back as tears silently flowed down her face.

Whose fault was it?

If they weren't at fault, why were they always missing each other?

That night, Run Yu cried and fainted in Xufeng's arms. Xufeng carried him back to the Kimonzai.

Run Yu didn't drive him away in the end because Xufeng made him disappear in front of his eyes.

When Run Yu woke up, all of Xufeng's things in the bedroom had been moved to another room.

He also didn't take the initiative to appear in front of Run Yu. Other than mealtimes, there would always be prepared food on the table. Run Yu could almost go an entire day without feeling Xufeng's existence.

Of course, it was only almost, because that omnipresent gaze never left him for a moment.

But occasionally, when they accidentally bumped into each other, Xufeng would lower his head and quickly brush past him.

Run Yu wanted to call out to him and say something, but he didn't know what to say.

The days passed by more and more depressing.

For the first time, Run Yu went down the mountain alone. He didn't use his divine power, but he could still feel a figure following behind him.

The feeling of being spied on surged to his chest again. Run Yu took a deep breath, and with a wave of his sleeve, he arrived at the town.

The town wasn't small, and there was a river running through it.

Run Yu hadn't been to the mortal world for a long time, and there were many new and novel things. So, he went around in circles for more than half a day.

It wasn't until noon that he felt a little hungry. Run Yu found a restaurant by the river that looked clean and tidy, and planned to go in and have a meal.

It was already past mealtime, and there weren't many people in the restaurant. Run Yu went up to the second floor and found a seat near the window.

Not long after, a well-dressed young master suddenly came over and asked if he could sit at the same table.
