Memoirs of the Emperor of Heaven

Chapter 167 Fetters

His lips trembled and he couldn't say a word.Runyu's voice fluttered in mid-air, as beautiful as a mantra, which usually made him very happy when he heard it, but at this moment, it became a curse that urged his life.

"Perhaps, I should call you—Zhanhuang?"

Kuang Lu thought the name Zhanhuang was very familiar, but couldn't remember it for a while.

She silently returned to Runyu, and looked at him worriedly: "Runyu?"

Runyu turned her gaze back from Ye Fan, and forced a smile at Kuang Lu: "I'm fine."

He took a deep breath: "Lu'er, you go out. I want to be with..."

Runyu hesitated for a moment, not knowing what to call the person in front of him.

"I'm going to talk to him alone."

Kuang Lu nodded, turned and left, and closed the door tightly.

The two of them just stood at the table, one at the door, and they were only a few steps apart, but it seemed as if they were separated by heaven and earth, and the universe was in business.

After an unknown amount of time, Runyu said, "When did you remember that?"

Ye Fan's expression moved slightly, but he didn't answer.

Runyu continued: "I guess, it must have been a long time. Before you went to the heaven? Or did you tell me that you were going to worship the cloud? | When you became a teacher? Or, a little earlier?"

Ye Fan's eyelashes trembled, and he couldn't suppress his nervousness: "Master! I didn't..."

He wanted to say that he had never worshiped Yun as his teacher, and in his heart, his master would always be Runyu.

Runyu waved his hand wearily: "Don't call me master. I don't have an apprentice like you."

He laughed at himself and said: "You insisted on leaving at that time, insisting on going to He Yun? | Learning illusion, I was afraid that your life experience would be discovered by him, and I didn't sleep well for days and nights of worry. I almost lost my temper with you, but still I can't stop you... so you already knew about the deep blood feud between you and Yun?|. Do you think that wealth must be found in danger?"

His tone was steady and sad: "I'm troubled."

Ye Fan's expression changed unpredictably, he lowered his head and did not speak.

Runyu said softly: "These...in fact, it doesn't matter. I owe you my life, no matter how I pay it back, it won't be too much. Don't say that you just concealed and deceived me, even if you want me to give you my life back , and you should. But, you absolutely shouldn't, you shouldn't hurt Luer."

Ye Fan's eyes were originally sparkling, but after hearing Kuang Lu's name, the mist in his eyes gradually dissipated, and the moisture slowly turned into ice.

He said: "Master... Runyu, what do you plan to do with me?"

Runyu raised her eyes, with a smile that was not a smile: "The demon king back then, and now His Majesty the Emperor of Heaven, is a man of great talent and great power, how could it be my turn to deal with it?"

Ye Fan's voice was close to pleading: "Runyu, I beg you, don't talk to me like that, okay?"

Runyu closed her eyes, and after a long time, she opened them slowly: "The auspicious time is coming, you go and change your dress first, so don't miss the wedding with Nianxia."

"Runyu." Ye Fan suddenly mustered up his courage, "I don't want to marry Nian Xia. You know in my heart..."

"Nianxia has sacrificed a lot for you and has been criticized. If you abandon her on the eve of your wedding, how will you let her gain a foothold in the heavens?" Runyu said firmly.

"No matter what the purpose is, you agreed to this marriage by yourself, and no one forced you. Since you promised her to be the Queen of Heaven, you must do what you say, and you must not break your promise."

Seeing Ye Fan's sad eyes, Runyu became ruthless.

"Since I promised to officiate the marriage for you, I will definitely do it. As for the grievances between you and me..."

He whispered, "After the wedding, let's make a break."

Ye Fan's brows were slightly bitter, cold and had nowhere to hide: "Okay."

―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

"This Meteor Demon Pestle is a gift for your wedding from the teacher. I wish you a happy life together and a forever bond of one heart."

Nian Xia was wearing a luxurious white wedding dress, gentle and shy, but as dazzling as ice and snow, between her brows, she looked bright, anyone could see her joy.

She bowed to Runyu: "Thank you, master."

Runyu put the Meteor Demon Pestle into her hand: "From now on, Xiaofan will be taken care of by you."

There was a trace of apology in his words, Ye Fan's temperament, he was clear, Nian Xia followed him, I'm afraid he would suffer a lot.Among them, there must be his reasons.

Although it was not what he wanted, it was his fault.

Ye Fan mechanically followed Nian Xia and saluted.He noticed that Runyu never glanced at him from the beginning to the end.

In the new house, the red candles reflected the whole room into a sea of ​​flames. From the edge of the bead curtain, Nian Xia saw a pair of feet appearing in front of her.

The moment she saw him for the first time, she had this strange feeling.Obviously he and her were strangers at that time, but she lied to Dijun for him, concealing the fact that he used illusion to get Rongle's memory.

After that, she betrayed the princess for him, deceived the emperor, married Mo Jin for him, seduced Chen Ao, and used her beauty as a bait to stir up civil strife in heaven.As long as it is something he wants to do, she is willing to do her best to help him accomplish it.She knew that Kuang Lu was right, he was not a good person, but what did that matter?

Love is like drinking poisoned wine with a smile.For him, she would be happy.

She was waiting for Ye Fan to take off the crown for herself, but she didn't wait for a long time.

She was a little strange, but she didn't want to take it off by herself, so she called softly: "Xiaofan? Xiaofan?"

After a long time, she heard him answer softly: "I am here."

Nian Xia held his hand worriedly: "Are you okay?"

His voice was tired but unexpectedly gentle: "I'm fine."

He pulled out his hand and suddenly said, "Nian Xia, thank you."

Nian Xia felt very uneasy: "Why do you say that?"

Ye Fan said in a low voice: "You are probably the only person alive in this world, except for Runyu, who treats me sincerely. It's a pity, I..."

Nian Xia felt that something was wrong with Ye Fan tonight, so she forced a smile.

He stood up and looked out the window.

The moon was dark and the wind was high, shadows swayed under the shade of the trees beside the palace, Ye Fan glanced vigilantly not far away, and a few birds in the jungle flew out.

The shadow of the frightened bird slanted.

His eyes flickered, and he frowned slightly, thoughtfully.

Nian Xia tried to change the subject: "Xiaofan, today is our big day, let's have a cup of wine."

Ye Fan turned around: "I'll do it."

Nian Xia finally breathed a sigh of relief.Ye Fan filled both wine glasses and handed her a glass.

The two of them intertwined their hands, hooking each other with their arms bent, and drank the wine in one gulp.

After Nian Xia finished drinking, seeing that Ye Fan still hadn't moved for a long time, she could only hint him shyly: "Xiao Fan, it's already late at night, we..."

Before she finished speaking, she felt dizzy and dizzy. She fell onto the bed unknowingly, supported her with one arm, and gently placed her on the bed.

He helped Nianxia cover the quilt, carefully twisted the corners of the quilt for her, and said softly, "I'm going to do something very important now. You should have a good sleep first."

————————————————————

Runyu, who received the message, came as scheduled.

"At this time, if you don't accompany Nian Xia, why ask me out?"

Ye Fan asked back: "Didn't you ask me to find you after the wedding?"

Runyu said, "I'm talking about..."

He sighed: "Forget it, I didn't make it clear."

He looked at Ye Fan: "You go back. Today is your big day, don't leave the bride alone in the room. Let's talk about our affairs tomorrow."

The amount of information received was too much, and his mind was a little messed up, so he needed to think about the problems between the two of them.

Ye Fan insisted: "It is better to hit the sun than to choose the day. Today, I have a question, I want to ask you."

Runyu paused.He felt a little embarrassed, but he knew he couldn't avoid it: "Say it."

Ye Fan spoke intermittently, struggling to speak: "What kind of feelings do you have for me?"

Although he already knew that it was just wishful thinking, he still had to wait for that person to say it himself before giving up.

Runyu was silent for a long time, and finally said: "Anything is fine, anyway, it won't be what you want."

Ye Fan asked persistently: "Maybe it will change, right? There is no fixed relationship in the world, maybe one day you will find..."

"No." Runyu interrupted him.

His tone was firm, sonorous as gold and stone.

"Never before, not now, and never will be."

The light in Ye Fan's eyes gradually dimmed.

He asked: "Then what is our relationship now? Master and apprentice? Friend?"

"Now?" Runyu repeated, shaking her head.

"We have nothing to do with each other."

Ye Fan's heart sank gradually: "What do you mean it doesn't matter?"

Runyu looked calm: "That's what you heard."

If he doesn't understand, don't ask him.

A gust of wind blew by, a string of wind chimes collided on Yefan's head, and the bright red decorations with Chinese characters "Happy" fluttered in the air, which was particularly eye-catching in the cold night.He stood there for a long time without saying a word, his body became numb for a long time, but his eyes gradually darkened.

Runyu didn't say a word.

He suddenly asked: "Runyu, do you hate me?"

Runyu thought for a moment, then shook her head: "I don't know."

He said softly: "I just think—the way is different, and we don't conspire with each other. There is no need for us to continue to communicate."

A very familiar sentence.Ye Fan thought, in his previous life, it seemed that he had told him so.

He said: "The bad things I have done are far more than these."

Runyu frowned slightly: "Huh?"

Ye Fan said: "As early as in the Kingdom of Lintian, I obeyed Yun?|'s instructions and gave Rong Le a love gu."

Runyu asked: "What is love Gu?"

Ye Fan said: "It's a Gu that can make people fall in love quickly. Yun?|I want Rong Le to fall in love with Zong Zheng Wuyou, so that you can give up on Rong Le so that you can be with Suzaku."

Runyu was silent and did not speak.

Ye Fan continued: "Later, in order to make Qing Li give up the election of the Emperor, I killed his lover Chu Ying and planted it on the head of the python clan chief."

Runyu's face was a little ugly: "Didn't you say that you helped them elope?"

Ye Fan smiled: "Chu Ying is a weak woman. Once she is caught, she will become a pawn in the clan to threaten Qingli's election. If it's just elopement, how can it be done once and for all? Master, you are always so soft-hearted, you made me want to help you." You still have to sneak around, and dare not let you know."

Runyu's face was as black as the bottom of a pot.

Ye Fan didn't look at Runyu at all, and continued in one breath: "I tricked Chen Xiang, provoked Zongzheng Wuyou's suspicion of Rong Le, and caused Rong Le to commit suicide; , forced him to pick Chiba Ganoderma lucidum in advance, which caused Kuang Lu to have a defective body after resurrection, unable to use spiritual power freely; The phantom in the mirror of Haotian Fortune, let you see her being..."

"Enough!" Runyu trembled all over, not knowing whether it was shock or anger.

Ye Fan stopped, his eyes glowing like the brightest stars in the night sky.

"Master, do you hate me now?"

Runyu said coldly: "God knows these things, if you don't tell me, I will never know. Why did you tell me?"

Ye Fan suddenly smiled: "Of course it's to make you hate me."

Runyu said in disbelief: "Are you crazy? Do you know what you are doing?"

Ye Fan said unhurriedly: "I'm not crazy, I'm very clear-headed."

His tone is as usual, but there is a faint sense of despair, which can only be detected by people who are very familiar with him: "Hate often lasts longer than love. Runyu, if you can't love me, then hate me .Whether it is love or hate, no matter what kind of bond it is, it is better than not having anything to do with you. Thinking that there will be no more you in my world, this will make me—”

He paused word by word: "Life—not—like—death."
