2493 I Came with the Intention of Dying
Dark clouds gathered in the sky.
The wind blew past with a faint hint of blood that lingered around one’s noses.
It was silent. At this moment, the scene seemed to be frozen.
Chu Liuyue was dazed. Rong Xiu’s sentence kept echoing beside her ear, again and again. He said he… wiped away Mu Qinghe’s memories the day he was sent to Tianling by the evil spirit? So…
Something seemed to heavily crush her heart, and it hurt.
She slowly turned around to look at Mu Qinghe.
He kneeled on the ground and was covered in wounds. He had already lost his vitality.
As if detecting her gaze, his body moved as he looked up with much difficulty.
His face was pale, and it was messily stained with blood.
The frozen layer in his eyes seemed to slowly melt and reveal some hints of light. Then, he looked at her and smiled slightly.
He was in a disheveled state, but his gaze was warm—like the first time they met. The only difference was that his smile back then was extremely faint and was filled with fear, covering his nervousness and terror. Now, his lips were relaxed in a straightforward and relieved manner.
The Fantasy Divine Hall erupted in a battle, and both parties fought. He was sent to Tianling to snatch her music score, but nobody knew that the Emperor, who should’ve stayed out of the matters, had changed everything.
Chu Liuyue’s mind was in a mess. “When… did you recover your memories?”
Mu Qinghe paused. “A few days before Your Highness was in trouble.”
The evil spirit suddenly spoke, its voice sharp and maniacal. “That’s not right! Even if our connection was broken, there should be a death! I was fine for the past 10,000 years in the Fantasy Divine Hall, then… She should’ve died!”
“She did die.” Rong Xiu looked calm. “Below Million Wine Mountain, you used your own tricks to awaken her memories after the Fantasy Divine Palace in advance, so I wiped away all her memories other than Tianling and sent her back.”
At that time, Chu Liuyue had just broken through to become a true god in the academy. As she trespassed into Million Wine Mountain, a portion of her Fantasy Divine Palace memories was awakened.
In such a situation, she was bound to die, if she went against it. Hence, he chose to start over.
Coincidentally, he used that chance to cut the connection between the two!
The evil spirit was dazed for a long time before it suddenly realized. “I see… I see! You’re the one who assisted her in reincarnating! You used all your methods to pave a path for her!”
“Let me think—when did you start to take action… You had already intervened during the battle 10,000 years ago, right? You protected those 13 deities and sent them to Thirteen?! You didn’t even give up on her pageboy that was useful to her!”
“Not only that, haha! Emperor, you calculated everything detailedly and perfectly, even Mu Qinghe! After she returned to Tianling, you used Mu Qinghe to make her die and reincarnate!”
“For the past 10,000 years, every single person and every single matter was under your control! You… have really planned it perfectly! Hah!”
The shrill and hoarse voice reverberated throughout the Fantasy Divine Hall, landing in everybody’s ears clearly.
Other than this voice, everyone was deadly silent.
These words and matters had long exceeded their expectations. They could not recover their senses for a long time.
Chu Liuyue was dazed.
Countless scenes surfaced and intersected in her mind. There seemed to be a line which finally connected those scenes and formed a perfect story.
The questions that troubled her for a long time were finally solved, and she found the eventual answer.
Mu Qinghe looked at her deeply and lightly laughed.
Actually, he recovered his memories very suddenly. He later understood that it was the Emperor’s intention—the latter was sure that he would make such a choice eventually.
Of course, that was indeed the case.
He sat quietly in his room for three days. On the final day, he stopped her call for help thrice and ended her life in Tianling.
He assisted Rong Xiu to carve a new path of life for her, and he used Rong Xiu’s force to enter the Fantasy Divine Hall and cut the connection between her and the evil spirit. After that, he went along with the plan and went to Mo Shiqian, who had also lost a part of his memories, and pretended that nothing happened.
Mu Qinghe’s aura gradually weakened, and his vision became blurry.
The evil spirit naturally had a way to kill him after he honestly reported everything. However, he was long prepared.
He tried hard to open his eyes and wanted to look at her face again. It was a pity that the blood dripped down and covered his eyes, making him unable to see clearly.
After a while, he lowly chuckled. “Your Highness, you were right. I am a traitor. My whole life, I’ve chosen to betray someone else for you.”
“Your Highness.” He lightly spoke with a hoarse voice. “Back then, I really didn’t know how to write ‘Yue.’”
His voice gradually became softer with the wind.
Large pools of blood spread under him.
Hong Yao suddenly flew over, leaned on his shoulders, and clutched his clothes tightly. Large beads of tears fell.
However, Mu Qinghe’s breathing stopped. Only his eyes were still looking at her in a daze.
Hong Yao leaned against him and slowly stopped moving. Its last tear stopped in its eyes and did not land.
…
The evil spirit muttered and laughed in a strange manner. “As the Emperor, who can plan better than you?! It’s a pity, Rong Xiu! As the Emperor, for your own interests, you have gone against the Heavenly Dao! Today… you can’t escape your own punishment!”
Chu Liuyue was stunned.
Rong Xiu’s thin lips curled up slightly in a seemingly smiling manner. “I didn’t plan on going out alive when I entered the Fantasy Divine Hall today.”
