The next day.

Early in the morning, someone from the Immortal Realm Palace came and called Shen Li in.

In the meeting hall, the Immortal Realm Lord sat in the upper seat, Mofang stood on the side, and several soldiers stood on the other side, seeing Shen Li enter the hall. The Immortal Realm Lord waved his hand to let several soldiers retreat, and said, "Last night, Furongran to the human world through the Immortal Realm world."

Shen Li was startled, and Mofang suddenly knelt down with his head down, and his voice was slightly deep: "It's all Mofang's fault. Mofang is willing to take full responsibility, find Furongxianjun back, and then accept any punishment."

"Why suddenly..." Shen Li looked at Mofang, still a little unresponsive, and said blankly, "Did you hit him?" Shen Li just asked casually, but Mofang nodded unexpectedly, and said heavily: "I drank too much yesterday." He pinched his eyebrows helplessly as if he had a headache, "I kicked him without paying attention..."

Shen Li saw that Mofang was still wearing a light armor, thinking that he had been wearing it yesterday and had not taken it off.

The pair of black iron fine steel boots on his feet, which were specially made by the Immortal Realm clan, could be said to be able to deal with all harsh environments and were extremely aggressive. Shen Li's mind flashed Furong's delicate skin and tender flesh, and suddenly felt that Mofang's kick should have taught the frivolous fairy a good lesson.

"Beat him if you want." Shen Li said contemptuously, "He is still young. He ran away after being beaten. Who does he think he can threaten? Besides, there are no evil spirits in the human world. If you can't kill him, let him go."

"No." The Immortal Realm King handed Shen Li a piece of bright yellow silk paper, "The Heavenly Lord sent an urgent order last night, ordering Furong to return to heaven within three days."

Shen Li was startled, thinking of the letter she gave to Xingzhi Jiuniang the day before, and she had a rough idea of this sudden order in her heart. Although the man looked like he didn't take it to heart, the matter was done so quickly.

The Heavenly Lord's order came so urgently, he must have said something else in the letter.

Shen Li lowered her eyes, not knowing what she felt in her heart for a moment.

"So, Furong must be brought back within three days." The Immortal Realm Lord said lightly, "But fortunately, time passes slowly in the human world, and there is still a lot of time to look for him."

Shen Li nodded, looked at Mofang who bowed his head to admit his mistake, and then looked at the Immortal Realm Lord: "So, you want me to look for him?"

"Your Majesty! This is all caused by Mofang, and he shouldn't have implicated the prince."

The Immortal Realm Lord waved his hand and interrupted Mofang's words: "There is still a long time in the human world. The significance of this trip is not to bring Furong back as soon as possible, but to let you young people get to know each other better. Li'er, do you understand?"

Understood. This marriage cannot be avoided, so she has to pay attention to Furong, and seduce Furongto pay attention to her. Shen Li nodded: "I will go back and pack up and leave for the human world."

Seeing this, Mofang wanted to stop him, but the words of the Immortal Realm Lord just now were still echoing in his ears, like a fishbone choking his throat, stinging and making him unable to say anything. The Immortal Realm Lord continued to explain: "As for General Mofang, he still needs to be punished for his actions against Furong..." "Don't punish him." Shen Li said, "I asked him to beat me, so I will be punished.

After I bring Furong back, I will come to the Immortal Realm Lord to receive the punishment." After that, he saluted the Immortal Realm Lord, turned around and left the meeting hall. Mofang knelt on the ground and clenched his fists silently.

When Shen Li left the palace, she only said hello to Rou Ya, and didn't even look at the villa where Xingzhi lived. She thought, anyway, they have nothing to do with each other now. When she arrived in the human world again, it was a sunny day, the sky was blue and the breeze was gentle, and Shen Li stepped on the white clouds and landed in a small corner of the capital.

Breathing the clean air that she had not seen for a long time, Shen Li couldn't help stretching her waist, taking a deep breath, squinting her eyes, and suddenly wanted to find a cool place with a grape trellis to sleep. She thought, it would be even better if there was a creaking rocking chair beside her ears to hypnotize her.

Exhaling a long breath, Shen Li opened her eyes and looked at the unfamiliar alley, smiling gently. What are you thinking about? That's all in the past. When she left the Immortal Realm world, the sergeant told her that Furong was heading towards Yangzhou.

But Shen Li didn't care. She drove the cloud and came to the capital first. Before looking for Furong, she had to play enough by herself.

This time, without the pursuers behind her, Shen Li was much more relaxed. She deliberately walked to the market, wearing a silk dress and walking with her head held high in front of the stalls, which made her feel moved to avenge her previous shame. After passing the market, Shen Li found the small courtyard where Xingyun lived in the past by memory.

At this time, it has been decades since the last time she came to the human world. Some of the streets and alleys have changed, and Xingyun's burnt house has been rebuilt. But the appearance is very different from before. She stood at the door for a while, and a few children ran past her noisily, and their laughter spread all the way, disturbing the peace.

This was a scene that never appeared at the gate of Xingyun Courtyard before.

That guy preferred quietness. It's completely different now. Shen Li turned around and went to the Fourth Prince's Mansion. The royal mansion had not changed much. It was still in the same place, and the pavilions and towers inside were built more magnificently than before.

It's just that the owner here has changed. Shen Li suddenly wanted to see if the silly little lotus was still withering in the pond, and suddenly wanted to know what the final outcome was for the King Rui and the woman he loved deeply.

She twisted a spell, used a sleight of hand, and walked in through the gate, but after walking around, she found that the pond had been filled up and a house had been built. Shen Li was silent. There was no trace of the King Rui in the palace.

The new owner changed it into his world according to his own preferences. Things have changed, and people have changed. Shen Li suddenly felt a little unwilling. To her, it seemed like something happened not long ago. The memories she had seemed to have no traces in this world.

It was like... being abandoned by this world. What's worse, could it be that there is no such person as Xingyun in this world, and everything is just her vain fantasy... She was shocked and eager to verify it. She fled to the palace and flipped through the books that recorded the past in the place where history was displayed.

The King Rui of that year eventually killed his brother and ascended the throne, but the Princess Rui, who was resurrected from the dead, never accepted the title of queen in her life. She became a nun and lived with the ancient Buddha for her whole life.

The King Rui never made her a queen. The reason for this was not recorded in history books, perhaps because historians felt that this was just a small part of the life of a great Heavenly Lord. Shen Li looked at the few descriptions and thought of Xiao He who was determined to do it. Compared with Ye Shi, she didn't even have this record. No one knew of her existence, and perhaps even the Heavenly Lord had forgotten it.

After all, so many people died for the Heavenly Lord. Her fingertips passed across the page and quietly landed on the four words "National Master Xingyun".

He was the person that King Rui relied on most in his life, but he had never been given a title. Only after his death was he posthumously named Grand Master by King Rui.

These are the only traces he left in this world. When this page is turned, it becomes someone else's history. Shen Li suddenly found it funny. What on earth was she verifying and looking for! Even if the whole world remembered Xingyun, what did it have to do with her? Her memories were only related to herself, and they were just her own memories. And no matter whether Xingyun was real or fake, he had become the past. No past could be found again.

Shen Li patted her forehead, shook her head and laughed. How could she be so flustered because of a memory? It really damaged the reputation of Lord BiCang.

Shen Li disappeared and left the palace. Walking outside the palace city, she suddenly stopped, then changed her pace, walked to the market, bought two pots of wine, and leisurely left the city. When they reached the riverside on the outskirts of the city, Shen Li gathered her robes, sat down on the grass, and called out, "How long will you follow me, Lord God?"

The man in white behind the tree walked out quietly, without any embarrassment of being exposed. He sat down next to Shen Li calmly and said, "When did you notice it?"

"Lord God." Shen Li handed him a pot of wine, "If Shen Li was so stupid, he would have been killed on the battlefield long ago."

Xingzhi smiled, took the pot and shook it, and there was a silence between the two: "Yesterday..."

"God..."

They both spoke at the same time, and then fell silent. Finally, Xingzhi smiled and said, "I was wrong yesterday. I wanted to apologize to you today, but when I woke up, I found out that you had come to the human world, so I followed you." His eyes fell on the flowing river, reflecting the shimmering light. Although his tone was light, one could hear a slightly awkward sigh because he didn't apologize often: "Sorry."

Shen Li has always been a person who only responds to soft words and not to hard ones. Xingzhi's words made her a little stunned. After a while, she said, "It's okay... There are many ways to bully Furongjun. And losing your temper at God... In the words of Immortal Realm Lord, it is a crime of insubordination, and Shen Li is also wrong."

Xingzhi was silent. The two of them fell silent again.

"Before." Shen Li seemed to have made up her mind, and suddenly pointed to a piece of grass not far ahead and said, "Once I was lying there in my original body, exhausted and unable to move. I have never been so embarrassed and miserable in my life."

As if he remembered something, Xingzhi's eyes revealed a hint of smile.

Shen Li turned her head and saw his slightly curved eyebrows, but she felt a little bitter in her heart, "At that time, when I was picked up, although I didn't say it, I really felt redeemed, like I met a legendary hero." She smiled, "This is the first time in my life that I have seen my hero, but he is still such an ordinary mortal. I can suffocate him to death by pinching his neck without using too much force."

"Probably from that time on, I have taken a fancy to Xingyun." This is the first time she mentioned Xingyun so calmly and soberly in front of Xingzhi. She waited for a while, but didn't hear Xingzhi speak. She sighed slightly and said, "God, Xingyun, Shen Li is not stupid."

The stream flowed quietly, and the sound of the water mixed with Shen Li's words entered her ears. Xingzhi smiled suddenly, "I've been seen through again."
