"This commoner is an idle person, and today I just happened to pass by this place. He definitely isn't an assassin."

Feng Lingjue smiled faintly.

"What's your name?"

Shen Nan asked.

Feng Ling Jue hesitated for a moment.

"How dare you, the emperor, not answer your question?"

The guard was enraged.

Feng Lingjue thought for a moment, then said, "This humble one is Feng Lingjue."

"Feng Lingjue …"

Shen Nan muttered, "You have done a great deed in saving my father, speak, what rewards do you want?"

"Reward?"

Feng Lingjue snorted. "This commoner doesn't need any reward. Just asking the Emperor for a pot of wine."

Hearing this, the guards were all stunned. Could this person be a fool? He had gone through so much trouble to save the emperor, yet all he wanted was a pot of wine?

If he wasn't an idiot, then it could only be said that he had ill intentions.

As they were thinking, they didn't expect that Shen Nan would actually straightforwardly agree, "Alright."

Imperial Palace

Feng Ling Jue walked around, sizing up the imperial palace, praising it from time to time. No wonder this mortal wanted to push his way through to become the emperor, it turned out that this imperial palace was truly magnificent, and was many times better than his crappy Devil Hall.

The palace maid led Feng Lingjue to a pavilion beside a lotus pond and waited there. Feng Lingjue was not the least bit courteous as he casually sat down.

After a while, Shen Nan who was dressed in a bright yellow dragon robe came over with a jug of wine.

It was very similar to the night when he brought wine to meet his brother, Shen Ling.

Feng Ling Jue suddenly recalled that night, he and Shen Nan did not seem to have finished drinking. Thinking about it now, he also felt that he had let down this Shen Nan quite a bit.

"The emperor came alone. Aren't you afraid that this commoner will be an assassin?"

Feng Ling Jue joked.

"I believe you."

Shen Nan said.

Feng Ling Jue was startled.

"To tell you the truth, when I see you, I feel that you're extremely similar to my younger brother. Although your appearances are different, your actions and expressions …"

Shen Nan sat down and suddenly smiled. He shook his head helplessly, "It's actually extremely similar!"

"To be able to be similar to the emperor's family, this subject feels honored. However, the emperor needs to know that in this world, no matter who it is, they are all the only existences. They look like statues, but can never become that person."

Feng Ling Jue poured a cup of wine for Shen Nan and smiled faintly. His words, had merely made Shen Nan forget about Shen Ling.

Shen Nan raised his wine cup, and after a pause in his movements, he sighed, "Perhaps."

"Can this commoner ask the Emperor a question?"

Feng Ling Jue said.

"Just ask."

Shen Nan finished the wine in his cup.

"I wonder why your majesty is the sovereign of this world?"

Feng Ling Jue asked.

Shen Nan was startled for a moment, evidently, he did not expect Feng Ling to ask this question, and laughed, "This is a person's last wish. When I asked him what he wanted to do in the future, I did not expect him to say that he wanted to be the emperor, but afterwards, he hurriedly passed away without even finishing a cup of wine, leaving behind this last wish. So I thought that it would be better to fulfil this wish of his, and thus become the ruler of this world."

Hearing this, Feng Ling Jue realized that he had actually unwittingly pushed Shen Nan onto the throne. Now that Shen Nan had become the emperor, it was about time Shen Ling's wish come to an end.

"Your majesty, the sages have passed away. I hope you don't mourn."

After drinking all of the wine in one pot, Feng Ling Jue bid farewell to Shen Nan, and was led out of the palace by one of the palace maids.

Feng Ling Jue walked back to his old private school, and when he heard the clear sound of the book being read, for a moment, he felt a bit absent-minded.

Standing on the wall, he thought about the scene when Jiang Chen had grabbed his bag on the spot, and didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

Wandering on the streets, he bought some hawthorn candy. Looking at the bustling scene in front of him, when the sweet and sour candy melted in his mouth, Feng Lingjue smiled.

He was just a passerby, how could he not fall into depravity?

He walked through streets and alleys, through bustling crowds, and drank a glass of wine brewed by a woman. It was late in the night, and the glass lamp in the corner of the eaves was flickering, causing his shadow to lengthen.

Mount Kunlun

Shen Qingchen sat under the lamp, looked at the jade in his hand, and suddenly sighed, his five fingers slowly clasped together, and held the jade in his hand.

This jade pendant was undoubtedly Feng Lingju's, but why did it appear in his hands?

Thinking back to what happened during his tribulation, Shen Qingchen couldn't help but deeply frown.

This jade pendant was given to him by an expert when he was a reincarnated Jiang Chen. However, after a few cycles, it ended up in the hands of that mortal called Shen Ling, and then …

Although Jiang Chen was only his reincarnation, why would he do such a ridiculous thing? He did not know, but after returning to the Mount Kunlun, he did his best to not let himself think about such things. However, these memories of reincarnation were like maggots attached to bones, it could not be erased no matter how hard he tried.

Feng Lingjue mysteriously walked to Rivers. Looking at the bottomless river below, he couldn't help but swallow his saliva.

"Sure enough, you are here."

Suddenly, a light chuckle sounded out. Feng Ling Jue turned around to see Hua Liuyue leisurely walking over.

"Why are you here?"

Feng Ling Jue asked curiously.

"From what Luo Qingdeng said, you went missing again. I thought, you must be here, so you took the initiative to come here and capture me."

Hua Liuyue raised his hands, laughed, and walked towards Feng Ling Jue.

"Boring."

Feng Ling Jue rolled his eyes.

"Well, then, do you want me to tell you something that isn't boring?"

Hua Liuyue said while beaming.

Feng Lingju narrowed his eyes in alarm. "What medicine are you selling in this gourd?"

"Just tell me if you want to hear it or not."

Hua Liuyue was indifferent.

Feng Ling Jue was silent.

"Originally, I didn't want to tell you about it after hearing about it. However, on second thought, as your client, you have the right to know about it."

Hua Liuyue deeply sighed and said.

"Oh?"

Feng Ling Jue laughed, "Tell me about it?"

"I can say it, but you have to tell me, what are you trying to do?"

Hua Liuyue bent down and looked him in the eye, then smiled and smiled …

"The negotiation is useless."

Feng Ling Jue immediately turned around and left.

"It's about Shen Qingchen, but you're not going to listen?"

Hua Liuyue was not in a hurry as he lazily and unhurriedly said while leaning against a tree.

Hearing this, Feng Ling Jue abruptly stopped in his tracks.

After hesitating for a moment, Feng Lingjue turned around. The veins on his forehead were twitching as he gritted his teeth. His words seemed to have squeezed out from the gaps between his teeth. "Speak."

"So you agree?"

Feng Ling Jue nodded.

Hua Liuyue walked to the side of the river, lowered his head to look at the river water, raised his head again, looked at Feng Lingjue, and said indifferently, "Do you know why Shen Qingchen returned after experiencing the tribulation in advance?"

Feng Ling Jue looked at Hua Liuyue with suspicion.

Hua Liuyue suddenly laughed and said, "Because Shen Qingchen's reincarnation, Jiang Chen, committed suicide when he was married to Princess Changping. This is the place where he died."

Feng Ling Jue's pupils contracted fiercely.
