Guan Yue was silent for a long time.
"Palace Master, I'm not asking you to do nothing. I'm just asking you to think clearly about how to do it."
He took a step forward and stood beside Chen Xinjie.
"You go find that person, and then what? Have a fight? Destroy him? Or kill him?"
Chen Xinjie said nothing.
Guan Yue continued, "You know that person's background better than I do. Blacksmith Association Vice President, Spirit Pagoda Honorary Elder, there is a so-called Hidden Clan behind him. Three years ago, he was able to destroy Cai Yue'er with seven rings. Now he is Titled Douluo, even Long Yeyue was defeated by him. Of course I don't doubt your strength, but have you ever thought about what War God Temple would do if something happened to you? What would Sea God Legion do?"
Chen Xinjie Silence.
Guan Yue knew that his words had had an effect, but he did not stop.
"What's more, Long Yeyue is still alive. Although her injuries are serious, they are not irreversible. His Majesty Ya Li is already treating her, and Shrek's Golden Ancient Tree may not be able to help her recover. If you go to find that person now and make the matter bigger, it will be neither good for her nor for you."
Chen Xinjie clenched and unclenched his fists, repeating this process several times.
Guan Yue is clear about his character. He is a man of great wisdom, and his specialty is hiding his clumsiness, whether it is his cultivation or his behavior in the world.
Just like he usually shows off his quasi-demigod cultivation level to others, only he, who has worked with him for more than fifty years, knows how far Guan Yue's cultivation level has reached?
I'm afraid even compared to himself, it's not much different.
So on weekdays, he has always respected Guan Yue, which is why he would rest assured to let Guan Yue preside over War God Temple's internal affairs, because he can have a good insight into people's hearts and grasp the balance between everyone.
Just like today, of course he knew what Guan Yue said was right, but--
Can I really let go?
Chen Xinjie's heart is at war between heaven and man.
Looking at the tangled Chen Xinjie, Guan Yue let out a long sigh.
"Once upon a time, I asked my senior brother why I was always stuck at that step and could never understand the true meaning of Spear God."
"My senior brother said: 'It's not that you are less talented than me, it's just that you are more casual, and casualness will prevent you from experiencing everything you encounter in life.' So later I locked myself in a room and carefully thought about all the experiences in my life, the little fluctuations in my heart when I did everything, and the gains and losses afterwards, and finally I got to where I am today."
"I think that as the master of the palace, senior brother is the biggest opponent you have ever encountered in your life. His words still make some sense."
Then, Guan Yue didn't say another word, just stood beside him quietly, waiting for him to make a decision.
The sunlight outside the window became brighter and brighter, shining on the two of them, stretching their shadows very long.
After a long time, Chen Xinjie finally spoke.
"You're right."
His voice returned to calmness, but beneath the calmness was a deeper undercurrent.
"It's really not the right time to go find him right now."
Guan Yue breathed a sigh of relief.
"The master of the palace is wise."
Chen Xinjie turned around and looked at him.
"But I won't let it go."
Guan Yue nodded.
"I know."
Chen Xinjie picked up the information and read it again. This time, his hands did not tremble anymore.
"You go out."
Guan Yue bowed slightly, turned around and walked out of the office.
When he reached the door, he paused.
"Palace Master, no matter what decision you make, War God Temple will stand behind you."
Chen Xinjie didn't raise his head, just said softly "Hmm".
Behind the hall, several gods of war were looking at him with their heads tilted up.
Guan Yue glanced at them and said calmly, "It's all gone. It's okay."
As if they had been pardoned, everyone quickly dispersed.
Guan Yue stood at the end of the hall, looked at the sky outside Gate of Hell, and sighed.
Fifty-three years.
He knew that Chen Xinjie would never really let go. From the conversation just now, he knew that that person's name had been engraved into his bones.
But he also knows that Chen Xinjie is not an impulsive person.
He will wait for the right time.
And that time may come soon, or it may not come.
Guan Yue was a little undecided. This was the first time he felt confused because he was completely unsure of the details of the young man named Long Yuan. He also didn't know what the consequences of any decision made today would be. He only knew that he had to persuade Chen Xinjie today.
As for the rest, we can only take one step at a time.
"What a troubled time..."
Spirit Pagoda, top level.
Gu Yuena leaned in Long Yuan's arms, closed his eyes, and listened to his steady heartbeat. The sunlight outside the window became brighter and brighter, shining on the two of them, making them warm and peaceful.
After a long time, Gu Yuena opened his eyes and sat upright from his arms.
"When are you leaving?"
"This afternoon." Long Yuan said, "Go back to Heaven Dou City directly."
Gu Yuena was silent for a while and nodded.
"Then I'll see you off."
Long Yuan lowered his head and kissed her gently on the forehead.
"Okay."
Gu Yuena's face turned slightly red, and he reached out and beat him on the chest.
"Taking advantage of me again."
Long Yuan took her hand, put it to her lips and kissed it.
"Your advantage will not be taken advantage of unless it is in vain."
Gu Yuena glared at him, but did not withdraw his hand.
The two stood in front of the window for a while before getting up and packing their things.
Long Yuan doesn't have many things, just a few clothes and a few rare metals, just put them into Storage Soul Tool.
In the afternoon, the sun is just right.
Gu Yuena sends Long Yuan to Soul Guidance Train station.
People were coming and going on the platform, including farewelling relatives, reunited lovers, and hurried travelers.
The train information was played in a loop on the radio, and the voice was gentle and mechanical.
Long Yuan stood in front of the ticket gate holding a bag of snacks bought by Gu Yuena.
Gu Yuena stood opposite him, his long silver hair glowing softly in the sun.
"Let me know when you get there."
Long Yuan nodded.
"Don't have any more conflicts with Shrek people."
Long Yuan smiled.
"They came to me, not me to them."
Gu Yuena glared at him.
"Can't you say a few words less?"
Long Yuan reached out and rubbed her hair.
"Okay, I'll listen to you."
Gu Yuena avoided his hand, but raised the corners of his mouth slightly.
The announcement sounded, and the ticket inspection for train Long Yuan began.
"I'm leaving."
Gu Yuena nodded.
"Hmm."
Long Yuan turned around and walked into the ticket gate, walked a few steps, and looked back. Gu Yuena was still standing there, looking at him.
He smiled and waved his hands at the same time, and a sound followed his waving movements and reached Gu Yuena's ears.
"Why does it feel like parting between life and death? You are so cool. With my strength, if you just want to, I can be in your bed in the next second."
"Go to hell, you big pervert!"
Gu Yuena said coquettishly.
Several people nearby heard this incomprehensible words and quickly walked around.
"Haha." Long Yuan smiled evilly and ran forward.
Gu Yuena stood on the platform, watching his back gradually go away until he could no longer be seen.
She lowered her head, took out the small box containing the hairpin from her arms, opened it, and looked at the silver hairpin. The light blue gemstone glowed softly in the sunlight.
"Hmph, I originally said that I would wear it for you to see next time we meet, but let's forget it now."
She closed the box and turned to leave.
