Film & TV: Public Enemy of Justice

A hint of pity flickered in Li Jing's eyes: "Ye Hua, you should stay away from Xuan Nu in the future. She is not a good person. In the past tens of thousands of years, she has not done anything decent. Every step, every word, every action is purposeful, and you will never know how she intends to deal with you."

Ye Hua considered it for a moment, but remembering what happened last night, he decided he should take care of things for Xuan Nu now: "At worst, you just shouldn't walk, just live well. Maybe I..."

I've come back to see you, but please don't come back again, or I don't know what else will happen to you.

"Even now, you still don't understand?"

Li Jing suddenly roared, "I don't know how Xuan Nu managed to bribe you, but if you think about this matter carefully, you'll understand why Xuan Nu insisted on rescuing me. She framed me and shifted all the blame onto me. If it weren't for that taboo, I would probably be dead already."

0oo is asking for flowers.....

But I've become like this, and it's all her fault. She's such a troublesome person, so why bother? Why risk your life for her?

She kept saying she'd give me a new life, but how can I live after I've become like this because of her? All I'll get in the end is a long and miserable fate. Rather than that, I'd rather drag her down with me.

"No, you're already in this state, don't hurt Xuan Nu any further."

Li Jing's hand trembled slightly, then he looked at Ye Hua incredulously: "Ye Hua, do you still remember that you are the Crown Prince of the Heavenly Clan? You are the most senior person in the entire world? You are the one who most deserves to sit on the throne of the Heavenly Emperor, do you understand?"

Ye Hua simply nodded, and was about to lift Li Jing up when he saw Lin Yaoxie slowly emerge from the bamboo forest: "It seems I have disturbed you two?"

Upon seeing Lin Yaoxie, Li Jing involuntarily shrank back without uttering a word. Ye Hua also remained silent, wanting to hear Lin Yaoxie's explanation. Although Lin Yaoxie had overheard everything earlier, he couldn't help but ask, "What are you trying to do?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Hua knelt down on the ground: "This is my fault, it has nothing to do with anyone else." Lin Yaoxie smiled with narrowed eyes: "Oh? I can see you're still the same. But have you considered that 'anyone else' might include Li Jing, who is right beside you right now, hmm?"

Ye Hua lowered his head and remained silent, clearly unsure of what to say. Lin Yaoxie coughed twice, then turned his gaze to Li Jing: "Do you have anything else to say?"

He had a long speech to give, but Li Jing hesitated. He was already afraid of Lin Yaoxie, because Lin Yaoxie was truly terrifying; otherwise, he wouldn't have become like this. Even so, Li Jing couldn't help but speak up: "Yes, I do have something to say. This matter concerns Xuan Nu."

Chapter Seventy-Three: Decision, the Relationship Between People

Li Jing never looked up, keeping his head down the whole time. His eyes held a deep, unreadable expression, but one could see a profound sense of loss: "Would you like to hear about the Mystic Maiden?"

Lin Yaoxie glanced at him indifferently, only to see that Ye Hua seemed to be hinting, but Li Jing really hadn't seen him. However, since Lin Yaoxie also looked at him, Ye Hua became a little more obedient.

"Okay, tell me." Although Lin Yaoxie said this, he kept looking at Ye Hua the whole time. So Ye Hua is slowly doing something amazing behind his back?

Lin Yaoxie frowned. Ever since the incident at Migu, he felt that the Shiwan was still not up to his standards. Even the subsequent ones were not enough. He thought it would be best to go back and observe the shops a bit more before making some himself.

"Xuan Nu is extremely cunning. Neither of us should let her remain involved in this matter. Let bygones be bygones, but since Xuan Nu has done one thing behind your back, she will do another. You are capable and think you have nothing to worry about, but if it's her turn to stab you in the back, you won't be able to regret it..."

Li Jing's words were extremely brief, probably just to let Lin Yaoxie know what kind of person this Xuan Nu was.

She naturally knew what kind of person Xuan Nu was, but what Li Jing said was rather cryptic. If it weren't for her strong comprehension skills, she probably wouldn't have understood. Lin Yaoxie nodded, then ignored Li Jing and directly asked Ye Hua, "Is there anything else you want to say?"

Looking up slightly, Ye Hua was clearly flustered: "Long... I... what can I say?" He never expected that Lin Yaoxie would come here at this time. He was caught off guard by Lin Yaoxie's sudden appearance.

“Hmm,” Lin Yaoxie turned his head and squatted down in front of Li Jing: “Although I don’t quite understand what you mean, I can see your hostility towards Xuan Nu. I ask you, if there were an opportunity in front of you to take revenge on Xuan Nu, would you be willing to take it?”

"Really?" Lin Yaoxie nodded. "Of course," he said, removing all the restrictions on Li Jing's body and helping him up. Li Jing was slightly taken aback, clearly feeling fear. The countless tortures he had endured before were etched into his memory, but this time... he seemed to feel nothing at all, just like... a normal person.

"I have removed the taboos from you, but you should know that I never work for others alone. Do you understand?"

Lin Yaoxie gripped Li Jing's shoulder: "Of course, if you are unwilling to serve me now, you can refuse, but you should know the consequences."

"Yes, this wicked servant understands, this wicked servant..." The image of Xuan Nu slowly surfaced in his mind. With a determined heart, Li Jing's voice boomed loudly, "I will not fail the Dragon Lord." He was determined to make Xuan Nu pay a thousand times, ten thousand times the price, and make Xuan Nu suffer unbearable pain!

Li Jing's determination was clearly evident in Lin Yaoxie's eyes, and Lin Yaoxie now felt that Li Jing truly had that kind of goal. Perhaps his personality had really changed, which would be the best thing of all.

"From now on, you will temporarily take charge of the military power in this Winged Realm. I hope you will not disappoint me. And you no longer need to be called a wicked slave, after all, times have changed!"

A lump formed in his throat, and Li Jing inexplicably felt a surge of emotion, almost bursting into tears. How long had he endured this? Was today finally his day?

A tear rolled down his cheek as he squinted, genuinely moved as he left the scene. When he opened his eyes again, Ye Hua and Lin Yaoxie were gone. Unable to contain his excitement any longer, he jumped up in a frenzy of celebration.

"Why did the Dragon Lord do that just now? Li Jing should have been imprisoned all along, but now..." Ye Hua was somewhat dissatisfied, but Lin Yaoxie's glance was enough to shut Ye Hua up: "Oh? You think I'm wrong?"

Ye Hua dared not!

Lin Yao's evil aura slowly dissipated, and then he said sarcastically, "Don't think that I don't know what you're doing behind my back. After all, my strength is much higher than yours, and these things can't be hidden from me."

Lin Yaoxie turned around, looking at Ye Hua with a strange gaze: "As for you, three days have passed, how long is that? Are you still planning to stay here and not leave? Or... are you really willing to be my slave now? Of course, if you are willing, I don't mind..."

"Dragon Lord, you've misunderstood," Ye Hua hurriedly interrupted, explaining, "Ye Hua simply found the scenery of this Winged Realm very beautiful, so he stayed a few more days. Besides... the Dragon Lord has so many capable subordinates, he certainly doesn't need another Ye Hua..."

"Heh," Lin Yaoxie sneered, then narrowed his eyes and used his hand to lift Ye Hua's chin: "Do you really think you can leave just by saying that? But I suddenly thought of something that seems to be related to you. It seems that you had already returned to the Heavenly Palace before. Why didn't you think of bringing me anything when you came back to this Winged Realm?"

After secretly swallowing, Ye Hua stammered, "After arriving at the Heavenly Palace, I suddenly realized I had forgotten something in the Winged Realm, so I turned back. Because I was in such a hurry, I didn't have time to bring anything. However, if the Dragon Lord wants some small gifts, Ye Hua can bring them for you next time..."

With a wry smile, Lin Yaoxie threw Ye Hua aside: "Get lost!" Lin Yaoxie was incredibly strong, sending Ye Hua reeling. When he got up, he had no idea where Lin Yaoxie had gone, but a sense of unease crept into his heart.

A long time ago, he seemed to have been drugged by someone, and when he woke up, he accidentally had a brief encounter with the mysterious woman. Now, he was repaying that favor, but unexpectedly, it brought him even bigger trouble.

Judging from Lin Yaoxie's current demeanor, he has probably been found out about his identity. If that's the case, going there would be suicide, but if he doesn't go... After thinking it over, he has done everything he could, it's just that Xuan Nu was unlucky in the end.

In any case, Lin Yaoxie cares a lot about Xuan Nu, so he won't punish her severely. In that case, I really have nothing to worry about.

Chapter 74 The Future Is Not the Present

Lin Yaoxie walked through a bamboo grove and landed in front of the Great Purple Palace. After pondering for a moment, he slowly entered, but just as his foot touched the outside of the house, he heard a maidservant relay a message to Xuan Nu in an extremely loud voice: "Greetings, Lord Yi."

Upon entering, he indeed found Xuan Nu already prepared to greet him, her demeanor flawless: "Greetings, Lord Yi. Why have you returned so early today?"

"Good morning?" Lin Yaoxie lay on the bed and chuckled twice. "I think it's a bit late. What have you been doing? How could you forget the time?"

Lin Yaoxie draped the quilt over himself, then his gaze fell on a person who slowly entered the room. Li Yuan knelt on the ground and said, "Dragon Lord, should all the troops from the South Sea be dispatched here?"

"No need. Just send a letter and have that old man Long bring his men. You don't need to go to so much trouble." Lin Yaoxie looked annoyed, but Li Yuan below couldn't help but glance at Xuan Nu and said somewhat reluctantly, "Li Yuan has something to ask the Dragon Lord."

Lin Yaoxie slowly nodded, toying with the porcelain in his hand, "Speak." Upon seeing Xuan Nu, Li Yuan couldn't help but think of Li Jing. He thought that at least in this lifetime, mentioning Li Jing would be enough.

She died peacefully in that prison, but...

"There's one thing I don't understand: what is the Dragon Lord thinking? Why is he so determined to release that wicked servant? And... he seems to have taken control of the Winged Realm's military power now?"

Lin Yaoxie slightly raised her head, put down the porcelain, then lifted the quilt, wrapped herself in a gauze robe, and came to Li Yuan's side: "Why don't you understand now? All Li Jing wanted was punishment. He has suffered so much, it should be enough, shouldn't it?"

Li Yuan was bewildered, her eyes almost brimming with tears: "But... how he treated me back then, I suffered a lot too, but... the suffering he's experiencing now is far less than what I suffered back then..."

"Are you questioning me with these words?" Li Yuan quickly lowered his head: "Li Yuan wouldn't dare, but... Li Yuan is unwilling to swallow this insult."

Lin Yaoxie gently placed his hand on Li Yuan's head and sighed, "You now control everything in the Winged Realm, and he only has a little military power. Why do you need to worry? Besides, if you really can't swallow this insult, you can take action against him in the future. As long as I don't see it and you don't cross my bottom line, I naturally won't interfere. Do you understand what I'm saying?"

Whether she understood it or not, Lin Yaoxie had made himself perfectly clear. Li Yuan dared not disobey any further and left immediately. At this moment, the Mystic Maiden slowly recovered somewhat and lifted the gauze curtain.

She opened her mouth slightly, revealing a patch of skin, and a voice slowly drifted out: "What brings you here today, Lord Wing?"

Lin Yao smiled wickedly, then slowly approached Xuan Nu, grabbed her hair, and slammed her to the ground: "Did you hear what happened just now?"

Xuan Nu winced in pain, feeling cold as she was locked up and thrown to the ground, unsure how to answer Lin Yaoxie. Lin Yaoxie, somewhat annoyed, squatted down, gripping Xuan Nu's hair tightly: "I'm asking you, did you hear me speaking with Li Yuan just now?"

Xuan Nu finally began to move, her eyes filled with tears, and said, "No, no, Xuan Nu... Xuan Nu didn't hear anything... Ah!" Instantly, Lin Yaoxie slashed her left cheek, and Xuan Nu screamed when she saw the blood.

Lin Yaoxie used magic to control Xuan Nu, then said fiercely, "Why are you pretending to be confused in front of me? You must have heard what I said to Li Yuan just now, so you should have guessed a thing or two. Li Jing now controls the entire Winged Realm's military forces. You should be very curious about this matter, but... before you know the full story, shouldn't you apologize to me first? Hmm?"

"No...no...Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I...I don't know anything...I really...don't know anything!!" she shouted hoarsely, and just as he said, she showed no sign of wanting to say anything.

He unceremoniously set Xuan Nu down and slowly walked away, saying, "I'll spare you for now, but if you do anything else behind my back, the consequences will be far more severe than this."

Lin Yaoxie turned and left. Xuan Nu just coughed. Only after Lin Yaoxie left did she slowly raise her head.

Does Li Jing hold military power in the Winged Realm?

She was dumbfounded. If that were true, what if Li Jing said something he shouldn't have? What if, in the future, Li Jing was always there saying things, wouldn't she be...

She was truly dumbfounded. She had originally planned to use Ye Hua to get rid of Li Jing, but... how did it turn out like this? She felt a sense of despair and slowly collapsed. Now, how was she supposed to go on?

Lin Yaoxie entered the main hall, and standing below him were not only the Winged Realm ministers who had visited before, but also Li Jing, who was in charge of all military power in the Winged Realm. Clearly, because of previous events, Li Jing was not very well-liked, so someone brought up this matter immediately.

Your Majesty, I believe that the matter of General Li Jing assuming command of the Winged Realm's military power requires careful consideration from the Winged Lord, as it ultimately concerns the well-being of the entire Winged Realm.

I second that proposal.

I second that proposal.

Below, a large number of people lined up in a row, with the middle position already full. Lin Yaoxie narrowed his eyes slightly, then turned his gaze to Li Yuan beside him. In the past, Lin Yaoxie would simply listen from the side and let Li Yuan handle such matters. Today, naturally, he would still let Li Yuan intervene a little.

After a long while, Li Yuan finally moved, but not to appease the ministers. Instead, he joined them in demanding an explanation from Lin Yaoxie: "Li Yuan also thinks this makes sense, and we ask Lord Yi to make the final decision."

Chapter Seventy-Five: Ginseng and Green Grass

But Lin Yaoxie just smiled at these questions: "Are you trying to force me?" Li Yuan was the first to step forward: "It's not that, it's just... this matter is really inappropriate."

Lin Yaoxie sneered: "Li Yuan, I thought I had made myself perfectly clear to you back in the palace, but it seems that you just ignored my words? Hmm?"

Li Yuan immediately knelt down and kowtowed: "Li Yuan dares not. I ask Lord Yi to decide this matter."

Lin Yaoxie moved to a more comfortable position and sat down properly: "I have made up my mind about this matter. Li Jing will stay in this Great Purple Bright Palace, and all military power in the entire Winged Realm will be under Li Jing's control."

Li Yuan was truly unwilling. When he looked up, he saw that Li Yuan was genuinely dissatisfied, but in reality, he was powerless to do anything about it. Lin Yaoxie glanced at him indifferently, then uttered a single word, "Step back," and left.

The remaining people were also unsure of what to do, as things had already come to this point. In the end, they all left, but they still exchanged a few words in private.

Li Yuan was now extremely dissatisfied with Li Jing, so she ignored him and left. Li Jing chased after her, finally catching up after a while, and said hurriedly, "I have something to tell you!"

At that moment, Li Jing finally understood something. He and Li Yuan were, after all, brothers. Although they had some initial conflicts, he was the one who ultimately imprisoned Li Yuan. Later, Li Yuan, seeking revenge, handed himself over to Lin Yaoxie. In the end, weren't both of them extremely pitiful?

Li Jing had thought this through a long time ago. He was willing to do anything for Li Yuan without any hesitation, because he only hoped that he and Li Yuan could return to being good brothers.

Even so, Li Yuan's attitude towards Li Jing was still unfriendly: "Oh, so it's General Li. May I ask what brings you here to see me, General Li?"

Hearing this, Li Jing felt unhappy. He frowned and said with some displeasure, "Why do you have to talk like that? We share the same father's blood, after all."

Li Yuan raised his hand cleanly: "No... General Li, please don't speak like that. I am just helping Lord Yi with some trivial matters. Compared to you, General, I am far inferior. So please don't belittle your status."

Li Yuan turned to leave, but Li Jing reacted quickly and pulled her back again: "If you want to be this general, I can do it. This general's seat is yours, or..."

This is given to you directly.

Li Yuan was slightly taken aback. Perhaps he really hadn't expected Li Jing to say such a thing. But then he thought, if he were lying, what wouldn't he say? He felt that Li Jing must be lying, so he naturally refused everything: "No need, General, please keep it for yourself. I really can't bear the responsibility." After saying that, he turned and left.

At this moment, Li Jing was also very anxious, but just as he was about to chase after him, he felt a pair of hands on his shoulder. When he turned around, he really didn't know who the person was, but it seemed that he was not an ordinary person.

"Who are you?" Li Jing asked, and the man replied honestly, "Lord Yi requests your presence..."

Li Jing frowned. He had a feeling that this was not a good thing, but... he couldn't just give up. So he followed behind the man, trying to figure out what Lin Yaoxie wanted from him.

Entering a palace, Li Jing glanced around but found it empty and couldn't see any trace of Lin Yaoxie. This left Li Jing somewhat helpless. He looked around again, and then suddenly felt a numbness behind him. When he turned around, he saw Lin Yaoxie.

"Dragon Lord?" He was puzzled for a moment, then quickly knelt down: "Greetings, Dragon Lord." Just as he finished speaking, he heard footsteps again. The footsteps gradually approached, but the hurried steps suddenly slowed. Li Yuan knelt on the ground and bowed: "Dragon Lord!"

Lin Yaoxie leaned back in a chair and slowly said, "Today, I have asked you to help me find some things." After saying that, the person next to him handed a piece of paper to Li Jing and Li Yuan respectively.

After glancing at each other, the two spoke, and Lin Yaoxie waved his hand, increasing Li Jing's strength to that of a High God, making him almost on par with Li Yuan.

Li Yuan naturally harbored some resentment towards this, but she didn't voice it directly. Dao Li Jing, however, was overjoyed: "Thank you for your power, Dragon Lord." He was naturally extremely happy, and after accepting the task, he left.

After Li Jing had already left, Li Yuan said, "The Dragon Lord trusted Li Jing far too much. Initially, it was the entire Winged Realm's military force, and now, it's still the strength of a High God."
