Against the Gods

"Speaking of which, there seems to be something regrettable between you and Qingyue." Xia Hongyi said with some emotion.

The change in Yun Che's name for him, as well as the significantly more alienated feeling than before, both Xia Yuanba and Xia Hongyi were clearly aware of something.

Moreover, Yun Che never mentioned the word "Xia Qingyue" completely, and used "she" instead.

"Five years ago, because of disagreement with her 'ideas', I ended our relationship with her husband and wife with a letter of divorce. At that time, I was far away in the realm of the gods, and I was unable to return due to unavoidable ties, so I failed to inform Uncle Xia as soon as possible. ."

Yun Che still spoke in the most plain and reserved words.

"I see." Xia Hongyi took a deep look at Yun Che, wondering how he understood the "inconsistency" he said, but he didn't ask any further questions, but suddenly asked another person...

"Che'er, what happened between you and Qingyue, although I would like to know, but the affairs of your world, even if I am an elder, maybe I shouldn't interfere and ask too much. But another thing, I hope You can tell me exactly."

Yun Che knew what he wanted to ask: "Uncle Xia, please tell me."

"After you left five years ago, Yuanba once told me that you told him that Qingyue found her mother in that place called the God Realm... Is this true?"

Xia Hongyi's voice was obviously slightly trembling.

Yun Che nodded directly: "That's right. Not long after she was accidentally teleported to the God Realm, she found her mother, and she has been by her side ever since."

Xia Hongyi leaned forward unconsciously, his Adam's apple kept squirming, and the originally peaceful pupils suddenly swayed with chaotic waves: "She... how is she now?"

Chi Yuyao: "..."

The sudden chaotic pupil light, and the sudden and violent heartbeat that almost burst out of the chest... When it comes to Yue Wugou, Xia Hongyi's emotional turmoil is more than a thousand times stronger.

Yun Che's heart moved slightly, and a look of surprise flashed past his eyes. He said truthfully, "Actually, she passed away eight years ago."

hum-

It was as if a sledgehammer slammed into the heart, and the shock at that moment was so strong that it was terrifying.

Then, the beating of the heart stopped completely.

It was as if he had suddenly died.

Chi Yuyao: "..."

Looking at Xia Hongyi who suddenly froze there, Yun Che frowned: "Uncle Xia?"

Xia Hongyi's lips turned pale as he trembled, and the blood on his face faded at a terrifying speed.

"Dead... dead... dead..."

He muttered in despair, and the body he was sitting on seemed to have turned into a pool of boneless mud, slipping from the seat with no strength.

Yun Che quickly stretched out his hand and supported his body with a gentle profound energy, and at the same time secretly exerted a little soul power to calm his broken heart and soul.

"Uncle Xia, she has been enjoying bliss for eight years, so please don't be too sympathetic." Yun Che comforted, he still didn't know what to call Yue Wugou.

"Dead...dead..."

When a person loses his senses under extreme sadness and his heart and soul collapse, he cannot shed tears. Xia Hongyi didn't respond to Yun Che's words, only his eyes were completely empty, and his heart-piercing low thoughts...

It has been more than 30 years since he was separated, but he never let go.

Perhaps, for the past 30 years, under his peaceful and elegant appearance, there is a sadness and desolation that has never faded away.

The black light in Chi Wuyao's demon pupil flickered slightly, forcibly gathering Xia Hongyi's mind.

But the mind can be gathered, but it cannot dispel the astonishingly intense sadness.

The pupils returned to focus, and when the five senses returned, tears quickly fell from his eyes. He straightened up in a hurry, turned his face to the side, and forbeared the tears and said to Yun Che: "I...it's okay...it's okay, I'll let you see a joke...hs!"

"Uncle Xia's deep affection, I believe she... must be able to see it." Yun Che reluctantly comforted.

He stretched out his hand to wipe the tears, and it took a long time

After a while, his expression seemed to calm down a little. He took a long breath and asked, "Che'er, tell me, she is... why?"

Although he was trying his best to control it, his voice was still shaking violently, and the fingers gripping both sides of the seat were twisted and deformed in whiteness.

Yun Che was going to tell everything truthfully, but with Xia Hongyi's appearance, he realized that he was unable to tell the truth, so he could only say without changing his face: "It is said that her body has been ill, and although she has been working hard to continue her life all these years, But in the end, he still died in the Moon God Realm.”

If he bluntly said that Yue Wugou died for Yue Wuya's love, it would undoubtedly be a heavy loss on top of extreme sadness for Xia Hongyi.

"Also, when she died...her daughter was by her side and buried her with her own hands."

In the last words, he hoped to comfort Xia Hongyi a little, but still stubbornly refused to mention the name "Xia Qingyue".

"Is it...is it..." Xia Hongyi murmured with tears in his eyes, "I thought that in that world...she could finally get rid of the nightmare, so...even if she doesn't see her for a lifetime, I am willing..."

"I didn't expect...it turned out to be..."

He took a deep breath, the pain in his heart was beyond words.

Some grief cannot be resolved by the comfort of others. Yun Che knew it well, he gestured to Chi Wuyao with his eyes, and stood up: "Uncle Xia, in any case, please be kind to yourself, under your knees, and Yuanba need your attention."

"I believe that a person as open-minded as Uncle Xia will soon get out of his grief. We won't bother you any more. After a while, I will come to visit you with Yuanba."

Xia Hongyi has been in business all his life, and he places great emphasis on hospitality. But at this moment, his heart was filled with pain, and he didn't want to tolerate him. He simply waved his hand and said weakly, "Go... let Yuanba not need to read me."

Yun Che stopped talking and was about to leave.

At this moment, Chi Yan suddenly said:

"Mr. Xia, I have something to inquire about, and I hope you don't hesitate to clarify."

"?" Yun Che stopped.

Even if he didn't bring any soul power on purpose, Chi Wuyao's magical sound was still piercing the soul, which was definitely not something Xia Hongyi could resist. He slowly raised his head, his eyes still trembling and pale: "Please speak."

Chi Wuyao said slowly, "When was the last time you and Ling Ai Xia Qingyue met?"

Without thinking, Xia Hongyi said directly: "Since Qingyue and Che'er got married and went to Frozen Cloud Immortal Palace, I haven't seen her again."

"Hey, it's been more than 20 years in the blink of an eye. I don't think that day will be forever."

The corners of Yun Che's brows moved, but he did not speak.

"..." Chi Yan nodded lightly: "Thank you for letting me know."

After walking out of the Black Moon Merchant Guild, Yun Che and Chi Yan did not tear up and return to Floating Cloud City, but moved forward unconsciously.

Chi Wuyao's crescent eyebrows knitted together, and with her strength, she was rarely confused to this point. Yun Che also seemed to be very worried.

"Strange, strange, strange... so strange."

Chi Wuyao muttered continuously.

"What's strange." Yun Che said absentmindedly.

Chi Yan glanced at him and said, "Xia Hongyi's reaction to the death of his daughter and the death of his ex-wife is really too different, you can't not notice it."

"I don't want to mention anything about her." Yun Che said.

Chi Wuyao smiled lightly, her voice soft and languid: "The real indifference is that there is no ripple in your heart when you hear it in your ears, but you avoid her too hard, but it shows that you are hard to forget about her, and it is even more difficult to ignore her... ... the more strongly you avoid it, the more so."

"...Whatever you say, in short, I don't want to mention her." Yun Che said with an expressionless face.

Chi Yan did not stop because of Yun Che's attitude, and continued: "Hating her cruelty and ruthlessness does not conflict with remembering her past beauty, nor is it wrong."

Yun Che stretched out his hand to support his forehead, and said helplessly, "You are here again."

He knew very well in his heart that although everything had been settled, Chi

Wu Yao has always been brooding about Xia Qingyue.

Possessing the Demon Soul of Nirvana, her ability to know people can be said to be unparalleled in the world, but she completely misunderstood Xia Qingyue.

This only, and quite huge exception, has always been difficult for her to let go of.

She was always willing to lower her stance in front of Yun Che, but in reality, her inner loneliness was unparalleled.

"To the news of Xia Qingyue's death, his reaction was too bland."

Ignoring Yun Che's rejection at all, Chi Yuyao continued: "Xia Yuanba is in the Overlord's Divine Vein, and his will is extremely strong, and he is full of pain when he hears the bad news."

"As for Xia Hongyi, I only felt a passing sense of sadness from him. In contrast, it was mostly sighing and surprise. It was more like hearing the news of the death of the daughter next door."

"You are also a father, and you only have one daughter. You must know better than me how abnormal his reaction is."

"..." Yun Che did not speak, but he did not stop her from speaking.

Chi Wuyao put away his smile, and thought silently when he spoke: "He is not a fool of Xuan Dao, nor a cold-blooded emperor, I can tell myself the reason, only Xia Hongyi is a person with extremely weak emotions, and he does have this Human-like, born with lack of emotion, and extremely few emotions and six desires."

"However, when he faced Yue Wugou's death, the grief that erupted in that moment was completely contradictory to it."

"A person who is so affectionate and passionate, why is he so calm and rational in the face of his daughter's death, with almost no grief."

Chi Wuyao's slender fingers pointed between her eyebrows. She came today to understand the confusion in her heart, but her brief contact with Xia Hongyi made her even more puzzled and confused.

Yun Che said: "She has an extremely cold and xenophobic temper since she was a child. She seldom steps out of her boudoir, and she probably seldom communicates with her father. Perhaps because of this, she doesn't have a deep father-daughter relationship."

"Can you convince yourself for this reason?" Chi Yan tilted her eyes.

Yun Che raised his brows, with a look of indifference on his face.

"There's another thing, even stranger."

Chi Wuyao's brows furrowed, a pair of holes pierced through the world, her charming eyes narrowed into two deep and blurred long and narrow magic abyss: "Last night, I had a chat with Chu Yuechan about Xia Qingyue, and I basically know everything. her past on this planet."

"So what?" Yun Che turned his face, and he sensed the strangeness of Chi Yan's emotions.

"Do you still remember why Xia Qingyue was so obsessed with the profound way back then?" Chi Yan asked.

"Remember," Yun Che replied, "In short, she hopes to find her mother and reunite her family."

This was what Chu Yuechan told him back then. Later, Xia Qingyue personally said the same thing to him. ①

She wants to stand high enough... maybe she can touch her mother's figure... maybe she can be reunited with the family...

"That's right, Chu Yuechan said the same thing."

Chi Wuyao said eloquently: "In this regard, she attaches great importance to family affection. At least, she even has a vague memory of her mother, and she will go after it at all costs."

Yun Che: "..."

"She also cares about your love. Chu Yuechan said that in order to save you, she was almost buried in the secret realm of Tianjian Villa... It was also in Tianjian Villa. When she heard the news of your death, she cut off the blue silk."

Chi Wuyao said softly: "If there is no him in the world, break your hair and bury it, break your love and ice heart... This is what she read to Chu Yueli and Chu Yuechan back then."

Yun Che's footsteps paused slightly, and his breathing was also slightly disordered.

Obviously there is only hatred left for her... Why, my heart still burns so much.

"And the Xia Qingyue I saw through Mu Xuanyin's eyes was exactly such a person."

"And a person who is so affectionate, especially affectionate..." The voice paused slightly, and Chi Yan's eyebrows were also the tightest at this time: "Why did you go to Frozen Cloud Immortal Palace after marrying you, then go to Frozen Cloud Immortal Palace? Haven't gone back to see her father?"
