Zhuque really sneered: "Chen Fengming is the descendant of the Demon Sect, and the Demon Sect has to take responsibility for him - but what does this matter have to do with you? You will never really be the leader of the Demon Sect because of his jokes? Don't talk about Yunmeng, or even you Lingyin, you haven't taken it much in the past twenty years, why do you want to take it seriously at this time?"

Okra hesitated and gritted his teeth, "No matter what the future is, Chen Fengming has been to this mansion more than once a few days ago, discussing with me the methods of dealing with the fantasy world. My father asked me to see him. I thought it was my inspiration that my father allowed me to go with me - isn't you that what you mean?"

"I'm just curious whether he really wants to deal with Guan Feigu or to get close to you."

"Of course it's to deal with the fantasy world!" Okra quickly defended.

"If so, I will be unable to allow you to go."

"Why?" Okra said anxiously, "Dad, do you hope he has other purposes?"

"Did you forget?" said Zhuque. "I told you that you are my daughter and you want to leave your father, and that only in that case - you should prove that this person is worth your life's entrustment; and if it is just a time of exchange of interests, then it's better not to mention it."

"I... I just went to Dongting with him, and it will take only two months at most. How could I have a lifetime of entrustment?" Okra's expression changed a little.

Zhuque sneered, "It's really not up to you. This guy is probably just using you. Whether he has given up the position of the leader to you before, or has repeatedly asked you to go with you, it is just a means to quell the civil strife in the sect. You don't have to be his pawn."

Okra bit her lip: "Dad, I... I have my own sense of what Yunmeng teaches - didn't you let me go last time, why bother to make things difficult for me this time?"

Zhuque's face darkened. "Last time I asked you to go with Jun Li, because Jun Li was my disciple, so I naturally believed him. But if I must say that you suffered all the poison and pain in that trip, I would definitely not regret it - this time you asked me to hand you over to Chen Fengming's hands - you had been poisoned and returned bleak because of his casual words. Have you forgotten? How did you hate this person in the past? In front of me, you said so much that you wanted to kill him quickly, and you forgot? If any father in this world would be unwilling to agree to you to follow such a person - but you turned against you, was it because I was deliberately embarrassed?"

Okra was speechless for a moment and could only lower her head and remain silent.

Jun Li couldn't help it. Although he promised Okra not to tell Zhuque the whole story of the Netherworldly poison in her, if it was to hide it for Lou Qianshan, it would be his original intention, let alone that time Chen Fengming was killed and rescued Okra. If he had to comment like this, how could he be at peace with Zhuque?

"It's not like this." He had already turned around the garden gate, and almost rushed out of his mouth, but he was slightly stunned, and his words stuck in his throat and were about to vomit-"No." Okra spoke first.

He stood far away and saw her slowly clenching one of her right hand into a fist, as if she had used a lot of strength to make her body tremble slightly. "Not that." She repeated it and then raised her head, "In the past... there were many misunderstandings. He - no matter what, he would never - would never - would - willing to see me hurt."

Zhuque looked at her a little strangely. "Okra, do you know that you have never found any reason for anything like today, and begged me hard? Even if - when Jun Li went south to Meizhou, his life and death were not clear, you were still uneasy every day, but you were always self-restrained and refused to plead, and even refused to come to see me. You have worked so hard to go to Dongting today, do you want to say that this Shen Feng is more important than Jun Li is in that day?"

Okra's shoulder suddenly stopped trembling. She silent for a while and said quietly: "No."

"Then do you still hate him to the core. Are you going here to wait for an opportunity to take his life?"

"no."

Zhuque frowned. "You always give me a reason to be so persistent."

Okra's eyes turned away, looking at the swaying fragile but stiff swaying in the pool. After a while, he seemed to have made up his mind and said quietly: "Have you ever made a decision to make me regret it?"

She had not waited for Zhuque to answer and said, "I remember there is one."

"Yes, there are many." Zhuque admitted.

"If those things were done over, would you make a different choice?"

Zhuque shook his head. "There is nothing in the world that can be repeated."

"I think there is."

"Do you think there is?"

Okra nodded. She took a breath. "Dad said it right just now. When Jun Li went south to Meizhou, his life and death were not clear, but I insisted and refused to ask for something from my father. But that - that is what I regret the most in my life, so far. I regret why I didn't go with him at all costs - since then, he was in the danger of life and death, I was worried and unable to sleep here, and finally -"

She paused for a moment, as if she wanted to absorb her infinite intent, "I know in my heart that what I have lost will always be lost, but I have been unwilling to think about why the past cannot be repeated, why time cannot be retreated--for a long time, I have always wanted to know this answer until recently--"

She suddenly smiled slightly, "Until recently, I suddenly didn't want to know. I only know that there is another person who is going to travel far now, just like Jun Li going south to Meizhou that day, I must go even if I know the danger. Although - he is not Jun Li, I can't answer how important he is, is he more important than Jun Li on that day, but isn't this a 'return'? - Dad, do you understand? I can't forget how I was alone at that time, and guessing Jun Li's situation hopelessly over and over again - I no longer want to have such a long wait again. I would rather go with this person now. No matter what happens, as long as I share life and death with him, victory and defeat, it is more than 10,000 times better than staying alone."

She raised her head and looked directly at Zhuque: "You may understand my mood? Or do you have to stop me and ask me to repeat the same pain again-ten times-one hundred times?"

Zhuque looked at her. Her usual cold face actually brought such a hint of strange and willful pleasure.

For a moment, Jun Li, who was standing at the entrance of the garden, felt as if his heart was penetrated by her thin strings and floated for a while. He realized that he had never really faced and thought about her feelings, just as she had never dared to say it clearly as seriously as she was now. But at this moment, he realized that everything seemed to be there or not was really broken - at this moment, what he and she each had long been in their hearts.

"It's really rare." Zhuque said, "Is this what you think?"

Okra smiled bitterly and looked at the pool of weak water alone. "Chen Fengming once told me that if I am willing to tell the truth, I will not be me. I thought about it and what he said was really good - there are some things I can't say no matter what, now maybe it's just because... it's in front of my father."

Zhuque sighed and reached out to her, like all the fathers in the world hugged their daughter. "I am very happy that you are willing to remove this heart from Jun Li." He said about half of his words to Jun Li, "I have told you a long time ago that Jun Li's temper was not suitable for you, but Chen Fengming was not good to you. It's a pity that you regarded him as your enemy at that time, and could not listen to a single word."

Okra heard his tone a little wrong and struggled, "Why did Dad suddenly... suddenly say good things about Chen Fengming?"

As she looked up, she suddenly saw a man standing at the entrance of the garden. The man was dressed in blue clothes, so dark that it almost blended into the night, but her figure was so familiar that she could not admit her mistake.

"You... are you back?" She jumped hard in her heart and said in a daze, "When were you here?"

"I asked him to listen here." Suzaku took the speech and raised his jaw slightly, "Come in."

Jun Li walked over, bowed, saluted, and called out, "Master." Then, he also nodded to her, "Okra."

The okra's face changed red, as if the thoughts were changing rapidly, and the breathing became so fast, but in the end, his lips trembled and he finally calmed down.

"You heard it... it's okay." She lowered her head, as if she was talking to herself, as if she was relieved.

Jun Li coughed and said, "Master, I just wanted to say that Feng Ming is the most aware of his character. However, he is definitely not here to use Okra, nor is he willing to put her in danger. If Okra travels this time with others, I would still be a little worried, but if Feng Ming - if he is not worth entrusting, who else in this world is worth entrusting?"

"I know." Zhuque said lightly.

Jun Li instead got a thorn, "The master said..."

"If I didn't say that, how could I take out the words in her heart?" Zhuque sat on the stone bench in the pavilion, leaving Okra and Jun Li looking at each other.

Jun Li sighed secretly. At first, when Okra was peeping at the night of the Emperor's cruise, Chen Fengming was punished by her. She was sentenced to two days by Zhuque, but she did not want to say the name of Okra - this was probably Zhuque's initial impression of Chen Fengming. After that, he was willing to let Chen Fengming go so many times, probably because of this initial impression? In this way, there is no need to worry too much about Zhuque's head.

"Just as long as the master is willing to agree," he smiled, "In this way, Okra will feel at ease."

Zhuque sighed, "I don't agree. But is it useful? You two have the same temper. One has left, and the other is clamoring to leave - although I expected you would always leave here, I didn't expect it to come so quickly."

"I... am I still here?" Jun Li said embarrassedly, "I promised my master that I have not finished learning the Mingjing Art, so I will definitely not leave here."

"It seems that everything goes well in your outfit, and it's not far from getting married, right?" Zhuque glanced at him a few times, "There is a person, but his heart is not there, so it's better not to say anything."

"Dad..." Okra lowered his body and shook his hand. "My daughter promised you that as soon as the matter in the Fantasy World is over, I will come back to accompany you immediately, okay?"

Zhuque looked at her, and his dull face made his eyes look deeper and brighter.

He suddenly laughed and reached out to stroke her forehead. "I never thought that - I, Suzaku, could wait until you say this."

"Of course," said Okra, "I am my father's daughter."

"Are you really...?" Zhuque smiled slightly.

Okra suddenly felt a sense of cleverness in her heart. She subconsciously looked up at Jun Li, and Jun Li's expression also changed slightly.

"Master, why... say so?" His tone also showed a hint of guilt.

"Nothing." Zhuque stood up, "I'm a little tired, you guys should rest early - turn around and ask Yiyi to help you prepare things. If you want to leave one day, tell me."

"Dad," Okra gritted his teeth, "I... have something else to tell you."

"If it doesn't matter, let's talk about it another day." Zhuque walked out of the garden, as if he was really tired all of a sudden.

"It's very important, it's about Yiyi."

"Is it about her illness?" Zhuque stopped, turned around for a moment, and felt a little unhappy, "I had said I had come to see someone from the Imperial Hospital, but you kept stopping me."

"Because...she is not sick..." said Okra, "She...she is pregnant."

Zhuque stopped for a moment, "…what?"

"She has always been worried that this incident would be troublesome when her father spreads it, so she would not let her come into the inner city again, so she didn't dare to say it, so she only told me one person." Okra said, "But - I'm leaving. If I don't say it again, who can take care of her in the next two months?"

Zhuque stood firmly for a while before frowned and said, "I understand." He turned around and left.

He was as calm as he was ashamed to have no unnecessary expressions. Whether he was happy or angry, he would never let the two younger generations see him. When he left, Jun Li came up and said, "What you said - is it true or false? Miss Yiyi really - is it really happy?"

"Where can I still have fakes? It's almost three months." Okra said, "It was only during this time that she realized that Suzaku was stabbed two months ago, and she didn't even care about her own body."

"So that's the case-you've been resting with her for the past few days, and it's all about taking care of her?"

"Take care for her and cover it up for her. If I accompany her, Zhuque will come less, so it is difficult to find out."

"This is a good thing, why should I cover it up?" Jun Li said.

"It seems to me that you and I are good, but Yiyi thinks more." Okra sighed. "I don't know what kind of causes and conditions she had with Zhuque at first. With her age, she didn't have to follow her here so much - she herself said that Zhuque has so many women, even if she treats her a little special, she will not get any title. Having a child is not only not a happy event, but it may be a bad thing. She may feel that it will be impossible for her to come back in the future. She just wants to hide it for a while, and she can't hide it anymore. She will leave here and give birth to the child. If Zhuque doesn't want it, she will take it with her."

"Yiyi is thinking too much - Zhuque will not want his own flesh and blood anyway."

"Do you think so?" Okra glanced at him.

"You will know how he treats you." Jun Li smiled.

Okra exhaled softly, "Yes, so I still feel like I should tell him. He is old. I thought--if one day, you and I can't stay here anymore, at least--he has a real child of his own who can accompany him for us..."

Jun Li didn't say anything. He looked at the horn of the sky, and okra looked at it too - there, the sky was as satin and the moonlight was as silver, covering all the stars, with the eternal rise and fall that they had reflected from the beginning.
