Chapter 291 [Long Moon Embers 5]
After Tian Huan brought You You to the Teng Snake tribe's territory, she calmly dispatched her men stationed in Yuqing Palace to Jize's mansion to inform Jize that You You had been brought to the tribe's territory.
After Ji Ze learned the news, he knew that the two sisters just wanted to get together, and he didn't care too much about it. He immediately asked the messenger to tell Saint Tian Huan that Youyou could stay in the clan for a while longer and didn't need to rush back.
Tian Huan was overjoyed when she heard this, thinking that this was exactly what she had hoped for. After all, she did not want her sister to leave too early. So, during this period, Tian Huan took You You to travel around, visiting this family today and that family tomorrow, and she had a very happy and joyful life every day.
However, Ji Ze felt a little uncomfortable, and she began to miss the time when she had Youyou by her side. Now that she was alone, she felt a little uncomfortable, and there was a cold air around her.
Since he had nothing to do, Ji Ze decided to go to Ming Ye to play chess with him to relieve his boredom. So he stayed in Yuqing Palace for a long time during the day and did not return to his own mansion until night fell.
At first, Ming Ye was very happy about Ji Ze's visit, after all, he finally had someone to play chess with. However, after a few days, Ji Ze still came to play chess with him every day, and Ming Ye gradually felt annoyed.
Ming Ye asked directly: "Jize, are you too idle to do anything? I remember that you have never come to see me so often before. Tell me, what is your intention this time? What do you need me to do?"
Ji Ze couldn't help but look embarrassed and a little guilty. He hesitated and answered, "Uh... Actually, it's nothing serious. I just want to know when Saint Tian Huan will return."
"Tian Huan? Why are you asking about her? When were you involved with her? Why don't I know anything about this?" Ming Ye's face was full of suspicion and his heart was full of doubts.
Ji Ze scratched his head and explained awkwardly, "It's not that much of a connection. It's just that Youyou hasn't returned since Tianhuan took her to the Teng Snake Tribe, so I wanted to ask Tianhuan when she would return."
"What's the big deal? Youyou is originally from the Teng Snake clan. It's normal for her to return to the clan's territory. Besides, Tianhuan is with her. What can go wrong? Just don't worry, brother." Mingye mistakenly thought that Jize was worried about Youyou's safety, so he patted Jize on the shoulder to comfort him.
Ji Ze sighed inwardly: I used to think Ming Ye was quite clever and intelligent, but I didn't expect that he was not the case today. I spent a lot of time talking to him, but Ming Ye's answer was totally unrelated to what I said. It's true that if you don't agree, you can't say anything!
Ji Ze shook his head helplessly and explained, "I just wanted to ask when Youyou can come back. A few days ago, Chu Huang and the others asked me why Youyou didn't go to play with them. That's why I came to you to get some information."
Ming Ye nodded as if waking up from a dream, and muttered to himself: "I see... But if you ask me these, I'm afraid I can't do anything. Although I live in this Yuqing Palace, this place has always been in charge of Tian Huan. I just came here to take care of her at the order of Tian Hao, the God of War. As for other matters, I rarely ask about them. So, even if you ask me, it will be in vain."
Ji Ze was furious when he heard this. He had been accompanying Ming Ye all these days, wasn't it a waste of time? And now he got such an answer, which was extremely annoying!
However, Ji Ze suddenly came up with an idea. He thought that Tian Huan must have feelings for Ming Ye. As long as Ming Ye used a trick to call Tian Huan back, Tian Huan would surely obey his orders and return. So, Ji Ze quickly suggested to Ming Ye: "Ming Ye, why don't you call Tian Huan back with an excuse?"
"You want me to trick Tian Huan back?" Ming Ye's eyes widened, looking at Ji Ze in disbelief, as if he had heard the most absurd thing in the world. He could never have imagined that Ji Ze, who was always highly respected and far-sighted, would come up with such an incredible suggestion!
"Yes, isn't it possible? And Tian Huan also listens to you. As long as you use a little trick, she will definitely take the bait." Jize said lightly, seeming to be full of confidence in his idea.
"I won't lie." Ming Ye answered without hesitation, his tone firm and resolute. He was honest by nature and had never thought of using deception to achieve any goal. This behavior ran counter to his principles and bottom line, which he could not accept.
"No, you can learn. There is a way to cheat everything in this world, including deceiving people. Besides, in an emergency, you have to take extraordinary measures. I believe that with your wisdom and ability, Mingye, you will be able to learn and use it freely." Jize continued to persuade, trying to convince Mingye to change his mind.
"No, Jize, you can say it yourself. I can't help you with this anyway. You should figure it out yourself. They will probably be back after a while. Besides, you can also go to the Teng Snake Tribe to find them." Ming Ye directly gave Jize an idea.
"What you said seems to make sense. Let's go, Xiao Mingye, I won't come to see you again." After Jize said this, he turned into a ray of light and flew away.
Ming Ye looked at Ji Ze's anxious figure and couldn't help but find it funny. When had Ji Ze ever been like this?
……
Ji Ze arrived at the gate of the Teng Snake tribe's territory. Before he got close, he felt a powerful breath coming from it, but he did not stop and continued to walk towards the gate.
However, when he reached the gate, he was stopped by two guards. The two guards were tall and mighty, wearing black armor, holding spears, and their eyes were as sharp as eagles, giving people a sense of majesty and inviolability.
One of the guards stepped forward and asked loudly, "Who are you? How dare you trespass into the Teng Snake Clan!"
Jize smiled slightly and replied calmly: "I am Ji Ze, the god of the universe. I am here today to pick someone up. May I ask if the noble Saint Tianhuan brought back a woman some time ago? This person is exactly the one I am looking for."
Hearing Ji Ze introduce himself, the guard's face changed and he immediately became respectful. He bowed his head and saluted, saying, "It turns out that it is Lord Zeus who has come. Please forgive my rudeness just now. Lord, please come in. The little princess and Her Highness the Saint are both in the clan now. I will send someone to lead you there."
After saying that, he turned around and whispered something to another person beside him. That person nodded, then walked over quickly, bowed to Jize, and led him into the Teng Snake tribe's territory.
Along the way, Ji Ze saw many Teng Snake people coming and going. When they saw Ji Ze, they stopped and saluted, their eyes full of awe. Ji Ze smiled and nodded in response, appearing quite easy-going.
Soon, Ji Ze followed the guide to a large hall. The door was open and there were bursts of conversation coming from inside.
The guide led Ji Ze straight into the house without saying a word. At this moment, Tian Huan and You You were playing happily.
As soon as she saw Ji Ze, You You rushed forward like a bird flying into the forest, calling out in a tender voice: "Brother Ji Ze, why did you suddenly come to visit me? I really missed you!"
Ji Ze was quick to reach out and take Youyou into his arms, gently stroking her hair, and said softly, "It's because you haven't been home for a long time. Your sister Chu Huang and other brothers and sisters miss you very much, so they sent me here to take you home for a reunion."
"Oh, I'm so sorry, Brother Jize, I completely forgot about the promise to visit my brothers and sisters. I hope they won't blame me?" Youyou looked ashamed and secretly regretted that she had been playing too crazy these days and neglected Jize and the others.
Jize quickly comforted him, "It's okay, it's okay. How could they blame you? Our little Youyou is so innocent and cute."
