When questioned by Ji Ke face to face, the voice did not show any anger.
It seemed to be self-deprecating and chuckled: "Who am I? Haha... The years have passed so long that I have forgotten who I am.
Perhaps, I am just a desolate god who has not been worshiped by incense and has been forgotten for many years."
Ji Ke suddenly frowned and said with confusion on his face: "The forgotten deity? Humph! Pretending to be a ghost!"
She doesn't know much about ancient rumors, and of course she doesn't believe in the stories of gods and ghosts.
The voice was still calm and said in an indifferent tone: "Little girl, it is your blessing to meet me.
Since I am a god, I have magical powers that are unimaginable to mortals. It doesn't matter if you don't want to express your feelings, I will naturally know what you are thinking.
I only advise you, regardless of force, power or wealth, you have to work hard to get it.
The same is true for love! If you don’t try your best to fight and win, how can you win the favor of your sweetheart?"
Ji Ke's body stiffened slightly and she looked at the ancient statue in silence.
The kind old man's voice said earnestly and sincerely: "There is no such thing as hate without reason, and there is no love without reason.
If you want to capture your lover's heart, you must take the initiative to fight for it and take practical actions!
What's the use of crying? Even if you cry your eyes out tonight, that person still won't feel any pain at all."
Hearing this, Ji Ke immediately shook his head and said to himself: "No, it's impossible! Brother Tianxing is definitely not such a person, he will not be so ruthless to me!
Moreover, he and Senior Sister Yunyao truly love each other, and both of them are willing to sacrifice their lives for each other at all costs.
I should be happy for them that they can get married. I will never do anything to ruin their relationship...
I cried because I just wanted to be sad alone for a while."
The old man's voice suddenly became majestic, and he shouted angrily: "Ignorance! If you like it, you have to fight for it, and if you love it, you have to say it out loud!
If you don't take the initiative to capture his heart, you will feel dejected, and you can only watch him spending time with other women day and night, and they are in love with each other."
"But..." Ji Ke was suddenly speechless, her mood became extremely complicated, and she lowered her head in silence.
The old man's voice said again: "No but! I just ask you, do you want to be with him, and stay together forever?"
"I... of course want to!" Ji Ke gave the answer almost subconsciously and without hesitation.
"Then you do as I say, and I guarantee that your wish will come true and your dream will come true!"
The old man's voice was sonorous and powerful, containing unquestionable majesty and extremely strong soul-soothing power.
Ji Ke was defenseless and her soul power was weak. How could she resist?
She suddenly became confused, her clear eyes were full of confusion, and her mind was a little blurry.
"You...can you really help me fulfill my wish?"
"Of course! I am a god and can do anything!" The old man's voice was full of confidence and majesty.
Ji Ke's mind and soul were suppressed silently, and she was bewitched by the invisible power of the soul, and gradually lost herself.
Her reaction became a little slow, and she asked with confused eyes: "Then what should I do?"
The voice said solemnly: "You only need to close your eyes, imagine the results you want, the scene in your dreams, and immerse yourself in it wholeheartedly..."
As if out of control, Ji Ke slowly sat down under the big tree, leaned against the ancient locust tree, and closed her eyes.
She looked peaceful, immersed in beautiful fantasies, and soon fell into a dream.
The surroundings returned to silence, and the night became darker and darker, as if nothing had happened.
…
After Ji Tianxing returned to the Emperor's Mansion, he sat in the room all night.
What happened in the evening kept replaying in his mind.
The image of Ji Ke, heartbroken and with tears streaming down her face, appeared before his eyes over and over again.
He was confused, distressed and helpless.
At dawn, he got up and left Tianxing Palace and rushed to Kunwu Palace.
"I wonder if Keke came back last night? I hope she can calm down and stop being so sad.
I have to talk to Kunwu later and ask him to help persuade Keke."
Although Ji Tianxing didn't know how to face Ji Ke, it might be awkward to meet him again.
But he couldn't rest assured, and his heart was full of worries. He couldn't feel at ease until he saw Ji Ke.
Not long after, he flew to Kunwu Palace and landed outside the gate.
After he explained his intention to the gatekeeper, the guard led him into Kunwu Palace.
He sat in the reception hall for a while, and then saw Kunwu, wearing a white fox fur coat, striding into the hall.
The two exchanged pleasantries when they met, and then he asked straight to the point: "Kunwu, did Keke come back last night?"
"Keke?" Kunwu was startled for a moment, then asked in confusion: "Isn't she always at Xingyue Village outside the city? Did you guys meet yesterday?"
Hearing what he said, Ji Tianxing knew that Ji Ke had not returned to the Emperor's Mansion, but had probably returned to Xingyue Manor.
He frowned and said to Kunwu: "Kunwu, please summon the people in Xingyue Village to ask if Keke went back last night?"
"Tianxing, what happened?" Kunwu realized something was wrong and had a vague premonition of something bad.
Ji Tianxing said with a solemn expression: "I can't explain it to you at the moment, so you can summon me first."
Kunwu said nothing more and quickly took out a jade slip to send a message to Xingyue Village outside the city.
After he sent the summons, the two of them sat in the main hall and waited in silence.
About half a quarter of an hour later, a spiritual light flew from the sky and landed in front of Kunwu.
"Whoosh!"
With a flash of inspiration, a message jade slip appeared in Kunwu's palm.
He quickly used his spiritual sense to check the message in the jade slip.
After reading it, his expression changed on the spot and he frowned fiercely.
"The people from Xingyue Village replied to the letter. Keke left Xingyue Village yesterday afternoon and never returned!"
When he suddenly heard the news, Ji Tianxing's expression suddenly changed, and deep worry arose in his heart, "Oh no!"
Kunwu also became serious, his heart full of doubts and worries, and he quickly asked: "Tianxing, what's going on? What's wrong with Keke?"
Ji Tianxing was silent for a moment, and could only explain to him: "Yesterday evening, Keke asked me to meet at Guiyanlin outside the city..."
He simply explained what happened.
After hearing this, Kun Wu suddenly became more worried and said in an anxious tone: "Tian Xing! How could you leave Keke alone? If she has something wrong with her..."
Ji Tianxing was filled with bitterness and said in a low tone: "How could I follow her in such a situation?
Forget it, this matter is indeed my fault, I will go find her now!"
After saying that, he bowed to Kunwu and said goodbye, then stepped out of the guest reception hall.
"Wait a minute! I'll go look for it with you!"
Kunwu quickly followed him and said as he walked out: "I will send an order now to send out the guards of Xingyue Village to look for Keke together.
I hope Keke just wants to calm down and hide temporarily, so that nothing happens to her!"
