Fall: Rebirth

After Li Feng and his group walked farther and farther away until they disappeared, Ling Han frowned slightly and remained silent.

His eyes seemed to be shrouded in dark clouds, revealing a hint of worry and contemplation, as if his heart was being swept by a storm of troubles.

Zi Yu, who was standing by, was very sensitive to the change in Ling Han's mood. She saw at a glance that Ling Han seemed to be hiding something. However, Zi Yu understood that since Ling Han did not intend to make these thoughts public, she did not want to ask too much.

Perhaps Ling Han chose to remain silent because he wanted to protect someone, and this person was most likely Xing Jin.

Zi Yu secretly speculated that Xing Jin must have committed some unforgivable sin that angered Ling Han and triggered a fierce conflict between the two. Ling Han was worried that if he told the truth, it might further intensify the conflict and cause Xing Jin to be punished more severely. Therefore, he chose to endure it silently and digest it all alone.

Thinking of this, Ziyu couldn't help but feel sympathy, and she wanted to go forward to comfort Ling Han. But at this moment, Yan Yin's cold snort reached Ziyu's ears.

Obviously, at this moment, Yan Yin's anger had not yet completely subsided. His expression seemed to be burned to ashes, full of dissatisfaction and anger, as if he was still brooding over what had just happened.

When Ling Han heard Yan Yin's cold snort, his heart sank. He knew that Yan Yin was still angry about what happened just now.

"God of Fire, it seems that you are still angry." Zi Yu turned her head, looked at Yan Yin with a smile, and asked softly.

"Zi Yu, you were so majestic just now! Could it be that you have followed your Lord God for so long that you have become lawless and have forgotten what hierarchy is?" There seemed to be a burning fire hidden in Yan Yin's tone.

As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere in the hall instantly became tense, and even Qingtian couldn't help but frowned slightly.

"God of Fire, what kind of drama are you trying to put on?" Ziying couldn't help but glance sideways at Yan Yin who was still standing in front of the hall, sneered, and said.

Qingli's eyes, which were originally as gentle as water, suddenly became as sharp as a knife.

Chu Heng and Xi'er couldn't help but frown slightly and looked at each other, with a hint of nervousness in their eyes.

After all, this was only their second time here, except for the time they had been to the Council Hall when they were first selected. It was also their first time to experience such a tense scene.

They stood there quietly, feeling the tense atmosphere around them, their hearts filled with worry.

"God of Fire, you really love to joke! How could Zi Yu forget what is the order of hierarchy? Zi Yu has always been respectful to you and respectfully calls you God. However, Zi Yu also has her own mission to accomplish, which is to obey the orders of my God. Since God has ordered Zi Yu to take good care of Ling Han, then Zi Yu will definitely do it without hesitation. If Ling Han loses a hair, it will be Zi Yu's fault. After all, in our world of gods, respect for hierarchy is the most basic rule." Zi Yu's voice seemed to carry a chill, cold and firm. She was not intimidated by Yan Yin's momentum at all. Instead, she revealed an unquestionable majesty.

Hill stood behind Ziying, his eyes fixed on Ziyu, and whispered, "Master, I didn't expect that Master Ziyu would be so cool and handsome!" He couldn't help but look at Ziying with admiration.

Yan Yin listened to Zi Yu's words, and his anger grew stronger. He stared at Zi Yu with his eyes wide open, his face full of anger and dissatisfaction, and the veins on his forehead bulged with anger.

"Look at the way you speak, it's exactly the same as your God. If someone doesn't know, they would think you are the God!" Yan Yin said gritting his teeth, his voice full of gunpowder.

Zi Yu's heart was unusually calm, and her face always maintained an indifferent expression, without the slightest fear or retreat.

"Fire God, you are such a joke!" Zi Yu bowed deeply to Yan Yin respectfully, and then continued: "How could Zi Yu forget? You are the Fire God! And Zi Yu is just a high god."

Yan Yin snorted coldly, flicked his sleeves and said, “It’s good that you know.”

“But even if you are a God, Ziyu cannot allow you to question Ling Han without any reason! Your disciple was hurt, and you are worried. Ziyu feels the same way. But Ziyu also knows that Linghan has always acted steadily and would never hurt others easily, so she insisted on investigating the whole matter. Facts speak louder than words. Although Linghan hurt people first, he is actually innocent! How can you be so stupid just because he himself is not hurt? Ziyu has followed the God for ten thousand years, and has interrogated countless people during this period. Even if these disciples have concealed something, Ziyu can see the truth. Naturally, the real situation is far more serious than you know. Since Linghan chose to keep silent, Ziyu will not ask any more questions. But if my God was present, with his strong temper, this matter would be difficult to let go.” Ziyu said bluntly without mercy.

"According to what you said, it becomes my fault?" Yan Yin asked with a puzzled look on his face, revealing a hint of dissatisfaction in his words.

"I dare not. You are a dignified God. Whatever you say is the truth. How can Ziyu dare to say that you are wrong? But Ziyu knows very well that if Ling Han really made a mistake today, that would be fine; but Ziyu knows that he is not wrong. Even if you are of a high status, Ziyu can never watch him suffer even the slightest injustice in front of you. Otherwise, if my God gets to know about it, what will be the consequences? You should know this better than anyone else, right?" Ziyu said expressionlessly.

"Zi Yu, how dare you despise me like this!" Yan Yin's words seemed to contain a blazing flame, which made people feel fear.

"Alright, Vulcan, that's enough! You have such a ferocious face all day long, and you are always making excuses and being unreasonable!" Ziying really couldn't stand it anymore and finally couldn't help but interrupt.

"Hmph, what does this have to do with you?" Yan Yin turned his head and glared at Ziying fiercely, his face full of dissatisfaction and disdain.

When Ziying heard this, the anger in his heart instantly erupted like a volcano. When he was about to open his mouth to retort, Yuangu beside him dissuaded him in time: "Don't argue with him again today, so as not to bring trouble upon yourself."

Yuangu naturally understood Ye You's temper very well. If they continued to argue at this moment, it would probably be difficult to resolve the issue in the end.

You know, Ye You was supposed to return to the God Realm today. According to common sense, she should have been present at today's meeting, but she has not been seen until now, and no one can say whether she will suddenly appear in the next moment.

Ziying certainly understood the hidden meaning in the ancient words, so he swallowed back the words that were on the tip of his tongue.
