The Flower of Evil succinctly asked, "Can't they go to the New World?"

"Yes," the man sighed softly, "The New World is very small, and very few people can go there... Although I have a 'ticket,' once I go to the New World, I will be the lowest of the low..."

"I understand," Flower of Evil nodded. "Just like I don't like Lianxin either. Why should he be the only one in the castle, while I'm stuck in the water!"

The man smiled and said, "Right? I've worked so hard to get to where I am now, and I've gained so much, only to lose it all... It's truly heartbreaking."

"Why do they want to rebuild the new world?" Although the Flower of Evil is simple, her questions are always very precise.

The man's eyes flickered very slightly, but the Flower of Evil couldn't detect this subtle change. He said helplessly, "Who knows? Those above always have their own agendas. We can only follow orders."

Flower of Evil: "Indeed, I don't understand what my mother is thinking either. I was sleeping soundly at home, so how come when I opened my eyes..."

He felt fear at the thought of the Astral Realm Void, and didn't even have the courage to mention it.

The man echoed, "Yes, we're all caught in the middle."

These words undoubtedly resonated strongly with the Flower of Flower of Evil, making him increasingly believe that the person before him was trustworthy.

"So you want to let me out to stop them from building a new world."

"That's right." The man looked at the Flower of Evil and said earnestly, "If you can just give me even a tiny petal to stop them from monitoring you like this, I'll have a way to take you away."

The Flower of Evil said helplessly, "But I really can't take it off..."

Instead of making things difficult for Flower of Evil, the man comforted him, saying, "Never mind, I'll think of another way."

Flower of Evil: "!"

He happily said to the man, "You're so kind!"

The man smiled and said, "There's no good or bad in it. It's just that letting you out is beneficial to me."

The Flower of Evil pondered his words and said, "It's good that you can say this to me!"

Man: "Alright, I can't stay here any longer. Don't act strangely, just continue as before."

Flower of Evil: "Hmm!"

For a long time afterward, the man would come to keep the Flower of Evil from time to time.

Unlike others, he did not ignore the problem of the flower of Flower of Evil.

He would patiently answer any question the Flower of Evil asked him, no matter how simple or childish.

Moreover, he knew so much that even the Flower of Evil was filled with admiration.

The Flower of Flower of Evil's curiosity was greatly satisfied by the existence of Tian Ting.

The time he looked forward to most each day was when Tian Ting came to talk to him.

Since learning that even the Flower of Evil couldn't remove its own petals, the man never made that request again.

The Flower of Evil would always ask him, "Do you have a way to take me away?"

The man would patiently answer him each time, "Not yet... but they've found Pure Lianxin... so the supervision on your end will probably be much less."

Flower of Evil: "!"

He asked urgently, "When you take me away, can you take Lianxin with you?"

The man paused for a moment, then said, "I thought you didn't like Pure Lianxin."

Flower of Evil: "I don't like him, but... but I have to take him back."

"This is a bit difficult," the man said gravely. "I was thinking of taking advantage of their focus on Lianxin to sneak you out, but if I were to bring Pure Lianxin along..."

The Flower of Evil pleaded anxiously, "Can't you think of something? I have to take him with me!"

The man hesitated for a moment, then said, "How about this, once we find an opportunity, I'll send you out first, and then we'll work together from the inside to send Pure Lianxin out as well."

The Flower of Evil said with immense gratitude, "You're so kind! If there's a chance... I'll take you back to the Lotus Domain..."

The man waved his hand and said, "That's the foundation of the world; I dare not go in lightly."

The Flower of Evil thought about it and felt that these things were too far away.

Let me go out first and then we'll talk about it.

People outside love his petals, but he can't tear them off himself, though there are many in the Lotus Domain.

If Tian Ting likes the dead flower petals in the Lotus Domain, he can give him a lot!

A long time passed, at least more than ten years.

Over the years, the man has come every three or four days.

The Flower of Evil underwent round after round of experiments, but unfortunately, countless "long knives" were used, yet none of them could peel off even a single petal, except to inflict pain upon the Flower of Evil.

"Do you understand the Pure Lianxin?" a man once asked the Flower of Evil.

Flower of Evil: "What's there to know about him?"

The man hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Is he... conscious?"

"What's the meaning?"

"It's about having an independent mindset like you."

Of course!

"But he never spoke, as if he were 'dead'."

"He doesn't like to talk... Oh, in the entire Lotus Domain, I'm the only one who likes to talk. Occasionally, my mother and Lotus Leaf will complain that I'm noisy, but Lianxin... rarely makes a sound. Even if I bother him, he won't say a word."

Tian Ting him for confirmation, "But he can make a sound, right?"

"Yes! But he never speaks first."

"I see..." the man said with a smile, "I almost suspect that he's not Pure Lianxin, but a Ninth Grade Lotus Seed."

"Impossible, I can sense his presence."

"That's good," the man added, "If he were just a Ninth Grade Lotus Seed, he would be eaten."

The Flower of Evil cried anxiously, "He is Pure Lianxin, he must be!"

"I understand," the man said. "Only by confirming his identity can we save him; otherwise, we'll waste our efforts saving the wrong person... and that would be a real problem."

The Flower of Evil nodded repeatedly. "There's no mistake! Although I can't sense the Lotus Leaf, I can definitely sense the Lianxin, after all, I..."

He pursed his lips and didn't continue speaking.

Man: "I know you're Heart Guardian."

The Flower of Evil said, "If it weren't for my mother, I wouldn't want to protect him!"

In the blink of an eye, the Flower of Evil has been in the Fenglie Main City for 17 years.

The Flower of Evil was locked in this small box, never dormant for a moment.

Seventeen years is a longer time than sleeping for 900,000 years.

For the past 17 years, Tian Ting has been by his side. Their relationship is like that of a father and son, as well as a teacher and a friend.

The Flower of Evil told him almost everything she knew.

Tian Ting patiently answered his questions.

The Flower of Evil trusted him completely.

In his heart, besides the Lotus Domain, Tian Ting is probably the most important thing.

Finally, one day 17 years later, Tian Ting came before the Flower of Evil and said, "The Upper Four Realms have convened an emergency meeting. The City Lord and several Divine Venerable have all gone to the First Realm Domain. This is our chance!"

Flower of Evil: "!!!"

He exclaimed excitedly, "Are we finally able to leave this place?!"

Tian Ting paused for a moment, then said, "I can only send you out first."

The Flower of Evil, now more worldly-wise, nodded and said, "I understand! I'll go out first, and then we'll figure out a way to save Lianxin."

Tian Ting said solemnly, "I need to incorporate you into my Spirit Sea. You cannot resist in any way; only in this way will we remain undetected."

The Flower of Evil hesitated for a moment. "But..."

Tian Ting stared at him. "Don't you trust me?"

"I..." The Flower of Evil naturally trusted Tian Ting.

Tian Ting added, "If you miss this opportunity, who knows when the next one will come? They are still researching even more powerful divine weapons. At that time, you and Lianxin might be cut apart to the point of losing your sense of self!"

The Flower of Flower of Evil's heart leaped; he had endured 17 years of suffering and truly did not want to suffer any longer.

Flower of Evil: "Fine, I'll go to your Spirit Sea..."

"There can be no resistance."

"Um..."

"No matter what happens."

"Good!"

Tian Ting opened the box that bound the flower of Flower of Evil and touched its soft, snow-white petals.

The Flower of Evil shrank back, but quickly suppressed its discomfort and relaxed.

"We absolutely must not resist. If we alert others, all our efforts will be in vain."

"I see!"

Tian Ting released his spiritual threads, which were jet black and adorned with snow-white petals, resembling black venomous snakes coiled around their prey.

The Flower of Flower of Evil's discomfort intensified; he instinctively felt that Tian Ting's mental threads were strange—they shouldn't be like this, but...

However, he quickly endured it; he had already suffered for 17 years, so this was nothing.

He wants to leave.

Tian Ting easily integrated the Flower of Evil into his Spirit Sea.

The Flower of Evil, situated within his Spirit Sea, felt a bone-chilling cold.

He saw the Authority of Heavenly Hearing suspended in mid-air.

It was a blurry black mist, its shape indistinguishable.

The Flower of Flower of Evil whispered, "Your Authority of God seems to..."

"There's no other way," Tian Ting replied. "I'm controlled by the God King Fenglie, and I was forced to take over the Authority of Heavenly Hearing. We're not compatible, so we've been torturing each other all these years, which is why we've become like this."

"So that's how it is..."

The thought resurfaced in the Flower of Flower of Evil's mind: once he returned to the Lotus Domain, he could obtain some Ninth Grade Sacred Heart Flower, which would then help Tian Ting purify herself from this torment.

Tian Ting already held a very high position in the Fenglie Main City.

He walked directly out through the main gate without being stopped by anyone, only receiving respectful greetings. "Greetings Divine Venerable Heavenly Hearing."

Just as the Flower of Evil was about to speak, Tian Ting said, "Be quiet, lest you be discovered."
