Chapter 1061 - Scheming Against You
Chapter 1061: Scheming Against You
Baili Jiajue’s voice was very faint, and even sounded somewhat indifferent.
But Elder Yue knew his character very well and immediately became vigilant. His entire body was on guard and guarded against Baili Jiajue like a wolf. “What does Your Majesty want to do?”
“Give it to me.”
Baili Jiajue’s looked down at Elder Yue. No matter how one looked at his handsome appearance, Baili Jiajue always seemed high and mighty.
These were just a few simple words, but they made Elder Yue very distressed.
“Your Majesty, that’s not a good idea…” Elder Yue felt that he had to learn to refuse, even if he had to be tactful and humble!
Unfortunately, Baili Jiajue wasn’t tactful to him at all. “You want the heavenly axiom to know that you were drunk and derelict in your duties?”
Elder Yue shook his head desperately.
Baili Jiajue looked at him and smiled, “Of course, you could choose not to give it to me. After I’ve snatched it from you, I’ll go to the heavenly axiom to expose you. It’s the same.”
He was speechless. How could this man always say such shameless words so naturally?!!
Elder Yue’s face was covered in tears as he obediently placed those two red strings that he hadn’t used before into Baili Jiajue’s hands.
“Your Majesty, what do you want the red strings for?” If he knew what His Majesty was doing with them, he could still think of a way to change the course of things.
Baili Jiajue raised his eyebrows. “Of course it’s for tying my phoenix up. What else does this thing do?”
Elder Yue couldn’t believe his ears. “You mean you’re not using it to help others?”
“Do I look that free?” Baili Jiajue coldly glanced at him.
Elder Yue started scratching at the wall. “Your Majesty, you’ve already cheated me of a marriage contract once. If you hadn’t used alcohol to force me back then, I wouldn’t have made such a big mistake.”
Baili Jiajue ignored him, took the red string and wanted to leave.
Elder Yue’s voice suddenly sank. “If the phoenix knew about your true thoughts back then, things wouldn’t have turned out like this. You’ve been scheming against her from the start. ”
“So what?” Baili Jiajue’s footsteps only paused for a moment, and then very quickly left that place.
Elder Yue was still there looking at the pile of red string and was worried. To his surprise, after tidying up, he raised his head and saw Helian Weiwei.
It turned out that she had been standing here the whole time. It was just that she didn’t speak and stayed in the corner. If she didn’t walk out, no one would have seen her.
“Ph-Phoenix,” Elder Yue’s expression suddenly changed. She couldn’t have heard everything, right?
Helian Weiwei went straight to the point. “What did he scheme against me? ”
“Ah? What scheme?” Elder Yue pretended to be stupid and tried to change the topic.
Helian Weiwei looked at him lazily and smiled. “You don’t have to tell me. As long as I go to the heavenly axiom and expose you, I will naturally know about everything.”
Elder Yue nearly fainted. This husband and wife used the same ruse on him!
But this trick shamelessly hit his weak spot.
“I’ll talk, I’ll talk.” Elder Yue let out a long sigh as he began to recall the events from tens of thousands of years ago. “That day, it just so happened that the heavenly axiom was holding a banquet. The Snow Mountain side wanted to introduce some of their immortals to the Emperor, so they let me act as a matchmaker and speak to the Emperor. At the beginning of the banquet, nothing much happened. It was only after you entered with the blood-stained machete that everyone became quiet. Only the Emperor looked at you. His eyes lit up for a moment before he let out a low laugh. He told me that after he came out of the chaos, the first thing he wanted to do was to raise an extremely beautiful Phoenix.”
“At that time, I thought that the Phoenix he was talking about was a real one, so I brought him to the mortal world. But his expression was very indifferent. Later, for some reason, he became interested in the red string in my hand. It was probably because I told him that once men and women in this world were tied by a red string, they would only belong to each other. That was why he took the red string and tied the two of you together. He said those phoenixes in the mortal world couldn’t be compared to the one in the path of Buddhism. The prouder the phoenix was, the more pleasurable he would feel when it submitted. Only then did I know that the one he had always wanted to raise was you.”
Helian Weiwei quietly listened to Elder Yue’s words and did not say anything more. She only looked at the mess in his hand. “You’ve got a broken relationship on hand?”
Elder Yue could not figure out what Helian Weiwei was thinking about. “I’m in the process of repairing it. One part of it has almost been fully restored.”
“Yes, I know, because the noble person you mentioned just now was me.” Helian Weiwei stretched lazily. “Can the knot between them still be untied? ”
Elder Yue coughed lightly twice, then he said, “By right, all the red string in the world can be untied. After all, marriage has to be worked out between the couple. If the couple doesn’t cherish it, the color of the red string will eventually become lighter and lighter. Once fate has passed, the red string will automatically untie itself and disappear.”
“However, the red string between you and the Emperor wasn’t tied by me. Instead, it was the Emperor who learned the method from me and he tied it with a dead knot. It was also from that day onwards that the two of you gradually began to get closer.”
“Is that so.” Helian Weiwei lightly uttered these words. She lowered her head as if she was thinking about something.
Elder Yue probed, “Since you have decided to help this broken couple, why didn’t you give them clear instructions? This way, their red string won’t be as full of uncertainty as it is now.”
“Hmm?” Helian Weiwei raised her eyebrows. “It’s nothing. It’s best to let nature take its course when it comes to matters of the heart, isn’t it? Moreover, I didn’t know that this was the sort of business I was taking on in the first place. You’ve also seen that I’m not in my adult state now. What I need most now is merit. It’s enough to help a living creature return to its physical body. Marriage isn’t within my jurisdiction either.”
Upon hearing this, Elder Yue paused for a moment, then hesitantly said in a low voice, “If you use merit, it’ll take a long time to accumulate, right? As long as you drink a bottle of divine water, a phoenix can become an adult. The Emperor didn’t tell you?”
Helian Weiwei’s movements stopped and her eyes darkened slightly. “No.”
“I knew it.” Elder Yue let out a long sigh. “What the Emperor wants is to personally raise you, because the nature of a phoenix is to recognize its master. After you grow up, you will inevitably be unable to leave him…”
Helian Weiwei did not speak. She had always known that Baili Jiajue liked the fact that she had become younger.
But she had never thought that this would be the reason.
Of course, Elder Yue did not dare to say too much. He had to have some discretion over his own words. Moreover, he could still sense that soaring demonic presence around, which also meant that Baili Jiajue had not left this place. Perhaps he was looking for Helian Weiwei everywhere in the hospital, so Elder Yue had to hurry up and leave.
Baili Jiajue was indeed looking for Helian Weiwei. He stood outside the window and looked at the brightly lit treatment room in the hospital that was already empty. His eyes were as dark as night as they narrowed dangerously. There was a loud cracking sound as a tree branch inexplicably broke, and even the surrounding snakes, insects, and mice all hid in their holes and trembled. They didn’t dare to peek out and see what was happening outside…
