Chapter 1061: Chapter 146: Let’s Go to the Heavenly Immortal Tower

Zhuang Shan said, "He once had a very good relationship with Yu Ya. You must have heard, Yu Ya has a reclusive personality and rarely interacts with people. In fact, aside from his excellent talent, he is not suited for the position of the Divine Emperor in other aspects. Compared to him, you are more suitable."

"Brother Zhuang Shan is now flattering me." Mu Qingge joked.

Zhuang Shan shook his head with a faint smile, "It’s not flattery, it’s the truth. Yu Ya has few friends, but he was one of them. He even always felt that Yu Ya was the most perfect person, and in that emotion, there was largely admiration and faith, I suppose. However, after what happened with Yu Ya, Yu Ya broke with the Divine Clan for that woman from the Demon Clan, it was a huge blow to him. I heard he spent a long time finding Yu Ya, trying to persuade him to return to the right path. But Yu Ya told him, what is the difference between gods and demons? Why distinguish?"

Mu Qingge raised an eyebrow, and her impression of Yu Ya instantly improved.

Perhaps it was because the person she fell in love with was also from the Demon Clan and similarly did not like distinguishing gods and demons by race.

"These two questions left him unable to understand, and after chasing Yu Ya for hundreds of years, he finally became disheartened, accepting the fact that Yu Ya could never come back, and then returned to the Huan Yue Domain. He thought Yu Ya was wrong, so he replaced Yu Ya by kneeling outside the Divine Emperor Palace for three hundred years, hoping the Divine Emperor would forgive Yu Ya and not be angry with him anymore." Zhuang Shan said.

Upon hearing this, Mu Qingge couldn’t help but turn her head towards the already distant Tianya Residence, remembering the disheveled, shabby figure she saw when Su Ming brought her in earlier.

"Truly a stubborn person." Mu Qingge whispered.

"Who isn’t?" Zhuang Shan nodded and sighed, continuing, "Actually, the Divine Emperor never intended to blame Yu Ya. Even when Yu Ya left, he just said, ’It’s your choice, so bear it yourself.’ However, the Divine Emperor knew that the reason he did so, rather than atoning for Yu Ya, was more about atoning for himself. He blamed himself for never being able to bring Yu Ya back. Kneeling outside the Divine Emperor Palace, he sought peace of mind. So, the Divine Emperor just let him be. After leaving the Divine Emperor Palace, he began to drink excessively, thinking nothing of cultivation, living like a walking corpse in the domain. Years passed in such a haze, and one day he suddenly requested to guard the Tianya Residence. Seeing that he sincerely didn’t want to stay in the Huan Yue Domain anymore, the Divine Emperor granted his request."

’I see.’ Mu Qingge had thought him so decadent because he was trapped in love. It turned out it was about emotions, but not romantic love, it was brotherly love. After listening to Zhuang Shan’s story, Mu Qingge laughed, "This brother is much too tied to the past to let go."

Recalling what Si Mo once told her about Yu Ya and that woman from the Demon Clan, she added, "Perhaps, Yu Ya and his beloved are now enjoying their travels across worlds, only envying lovebirds and not immortals. Meanwhile, he is still trapped in the past, unable to extricate himself, numbing himself with alcohol daily."

"There is some truth in what you say, but ultimately, this kind of thing has to be understood by oneself. We carry out tasks in this area as per the Divine Emperor’s order and have never disturbed him." Zhuang Shan nodded.

As they spoke, they had already distanced themselves from the Tianya Residence and arrived at a cave hotel.

"Let’s stay here." Li Chao turned and said to them.

"You all rest here first, I need to go somewhere, I’ll be back soon." Mu Qingge said to everyone.

"Where are you going? Although we are now in the East Divine Land, there may still be people from the Mu Clan trailing us. We can’t be careless." Li Chao frowned and said.

"I am visiting an old friend, at the Tianya Residence, there won’t be any problem." Mu Qingge said.

"I’ll accompany you." Yin Chen stood by Mu Qingge’s side.

"I’ll go too." Yao Xinghai also stood up.

Just as Xi Qianxue was about to stand up, Mu Qingge directly said, "That place is not suitable for you."

With a hint of doubt in her eyes, Xi Qianxue didn’t question further, obediently retracting her step.

"Since you’re all going, count me in too." Zhuang Shan said with a smile.

Li Chao then spoke up, "You all go then, go and return quickly. If anything happens, send a signal immediately, and we’ll rush over."

He was always concerned about Mu Qingge’s safety and repeatedly gave reminders uneasily.

After that, they split into two groups.

Mu Qingge, with Yin Chen, Yao Xinghai, and Zhuang Shan, left. The remaining people entered the cave hotel.

The three followed Mu Qingge for a while, arriving outside a building with an extremely luxurious and somewhat garish appearance.

Seeing the signboard with three large characters inscribed on it, the expressions of Zhuang Shan and Yao Xinghai became peculiar, especially Zhuang Shan, who even let out an awkward cough.

"Old Three, what are you doing here?" Zhuang Shan glanced at the ’Heavenly Immortal Tower’ signboard and couldn’t help but ask.

Mu Qingge calmly replied, "To visit an old friend."

"You have an old friend here?" Zhuang Shan asked in surprise.

Seeing his expression, Mu Qingge knew he misunderstood. Shaking her head, she said, "I was able to quickly get the permit to go to the Huan Yue Domain thanks to the boss here. I also met Tong Teng here, becoming traveling companions."

"I see." Zhuang Shan sighed in relief.

Otherwise, he would have thought Mu Qingge was too eager, rushing here to find an old flame as soon as they arrived at the Tianya Residence.

Mu Qingge led the three into the Heavenly Immortal Tower, but she found something peculiar about the place. She had felt a bit suspicious outside, and upon entering, she realized the place had long been deserted.

"Everyone is gone." Yao Xinghai observed as he looked around.

Mu Qingge stood by the table in front of the stage, reaching out to touch the tabletop and leaving a layer of dust on her fingertip.

This place hasn’t been visited for at least half a year.

Mu Qingge pursed her lips slightly, pondering what had happened to the Heavenly Immortal Tower? Su Ming didn’t seem like someone who would willingly close down the tower, so what forced her to do so?

And where did the people of the Heavenly Immortal Tower go?

"I’ll go ask around the area." Yin Chen told Mu Qingge.

Mu Qingge lightly nodded.

Yin Chen transformed into a streak of silver light and disappeared in front of the three.

Yao Xinghai also said, "Although it’s been a long time since anyone lived here, I’ll check it out thoroughly again. Perhaps there will be some discovery."

"Alright." Mu Qingge nodded.

Zhuang Shan also went to help, leaving Mu Qingge alone in the courtyard. She found a relatively intact chair, used the Dust Cleaning Technique to wipe away the dust, and then sat down, leaning against the chair back.

Soon after, Yin Chen returned, appearing in front of her.
