Reminded by the Demon Lord, Yu Xinyi remembered and quickly let go of Yu Lijing: "Mother, sit down, sit down quickly."
Liu Lanyan glanced at the Demon God, her eyes silently asking, "What's going on?"
The demon god shook his head slightly, and gestured with his eyes to let's see first.
Liu Lanyan obediently continued watching the show, secretly relieved that she had come at the right time; things were more complicated than she had imagined.
How come another Yu Xinyi's mother has suddenly appeared?
In her view, the demon realm doesn't need to be attacked by the immortal and demon realms at all; it can be destroyed by itself simply because its internal affairs are not handled well.
Liu Lanyan felt a pang of pain in her heart. She reached out and gripped the Demon God's large hand tightly, her heart aching as she held it.
For so many years, he has lived like this, maintaining this broken and complex demon realm.
How many storms have we weathered?
No matter what the future holds, she will always stay by his side and face it together.
As if sensing Liu Lanyan's feelings, Mo Yun returned the gesture, their fingers intertwined, and the two silently conveyed their feelings to each other.
"Xinyi, you've grown up." Yu Lijing looked at Yu Xinyi with almost greedy eyes, her expression a mixture of sorrow and joy.
Yu Xinyi didn't say anything, he just stayed by his mother's side, and at that moment he felt incredibly happy.
“However, some people are becoming more and more unsuccessful.” Yu Lijing’s gaze shifted and landed on the Demon Lord. She had not forgotten why she had come here this time.
Chapter 132 Flame Mark
Yu Lijing stared at the Demon Lord with hostility.
The Demon Lord didn't speak immediately when he saw Yu Lijin, but Yu Xinyi sensed that something was wrong and asked in a low voice, "Mother, what's wrong?"
"Xinyi, do you know that someone is trying to kill your uncle?" Yu Lijing was speaking to Yu Xinyi, but her gaze was fixed on the Demon Lord.
"Mother, things aren't like that, we haven't figured it out yet..." Yu Xinyi never expected that the result of her mother, whom she hadn't seen for a thousand years, suddenly appearing would be that she would turn against her father.
how so?
"Would your uncle lie to you?" Yu Lijing couldn't stand seeing her son speak up for the demon lord. "I'll handle things here, you don't need to worry about it."
"Father, please say something! It's not what Mother thinks." Yu Xinyi suddenly realized that after all these years of pretending to be crazy, he was truly stupid at this moment.
What's going on?
"What's the use of saying anything now?" the Demon Lord said calmly, his face revealing no emotion whatsoever.
"Father, Mother, what are you doing?" Yu Xinyi asked, his head throbbing with pain.
Weren't we just talking about the demon realm?
How did things suddenly turn out this way, and why is the situation developing in the direction he least wanted to see?
"Xinyi, don't worry about it, Mother will handle it," Yu Lijing said sternly, giving Yu Xinyi no room for rebuttal.
Yu Lijing stared intently at the Demon Lord, taking in every subtle change in his expression: "Did you send someone to kill Jin Shuo?"
It's a completely affirmative statement, not a question at all.
They didn't even question him; they directly sentenced and convicted the demon lord.
"If I said no, would you believe me?" The Demon Lord looked at Yu Lijing calmly, and Yu Lijing responded with a disdainful snort.
Hearing Yu Lijing's cold snort, the Demon Lord smiled, lowered his eyes slightly, and then looked up at Yu Lijing and asked, "Since you don't believe me, why bother asking me?"
"You've been in the forbidden area the whole time, so how would you know who went to deal with Yu Jinshuo? Wasn't it him who told you, right?" The Demon Lord had tried his best to remain calm, but he had too many emotions accumulating in his heart. No matter how hard he tried to suppress them, he couldn't control his voice from trembling slightly, letting others feel his emotional agitation.
"Why didn't you ever consider that Yu Jinshuo was exaggerating?" the Demon Lord asked Yu Lijing. At this moment, he saw no one but Yu Lijing.
"Alarmist?" Yu Lijing laughed, looking at the Demon Lord with a mocking smile. "That's ridiculous. What reason does Jin Shuo have to spread such alarmist rumors? What good would it do him? Don't forget he's my brother, my own brother. Why would he need to lie to me?"
Yu Lijing questioned loudly, but no one answered her after she finished.
A brief silence fell over the side hall. In the midst of this silence, the Demon Lord's deep voice rang out: "You mean I was lying to you?"
Yu Lijing sneered, "Who lied to me knows the truth in their heart."
The words have been made so clearly, who can't understand them?
Yu Xinyi took a step forward. This was the last thing he wanted to see. What was going on?
His mother suddenly appeared and started arguing with his father. This was not the life he had always longed for.
"Xinyi, there are some things that need to be clarified today." The Demon Lord waved his hand at Yu Xinyi, stopping him from speaking.
Turning his head to look at Yu Lijing, a look of emotion that no one could understand flashed in his eyes: "Why would I kill Yu Jinshuo?"
"Can't you see? You want the position of Demon Lord." Yu Lijing said with a sneer, finding the Demon Lord's question utterly ridiculous.
"I want the position of Demon Lord?" The Demon Lord pointed at Yu Xinyi beside him. "Don't you know that our son has enough qualifications to inherit the position of Demon Lord? If you didn't know, why did Yu Jinshuo rush to show up with you?"
"Xinyi's strength has only just begun to be revealed, which is something you didn't expect." Yu Lijing said with a forced smile. "You had a good plan, but unfortunately, man proposes, God disposes. My son lived up to expectations and ruined all the plans of others, becoming a stepping stone for my son."
The Demon Lord smiled, a smile that, though genuine, evoked a bitter taste in the mouth: "You mean you think I'll compete with our son for the Demon Lord's position?"
"It's hard to say." Yu Lijing sneered, "Wasn't Jin Shuo the one who was most likely to inherit the position of Demon Lord, which is why he was killed?"
"Good, good, good..." The Demon Lord said "good" several times in a row, and then asked Yu Lijing, "Let me ask you, was it me who wanted to fight for the position of Demon Lord? Who pushed me to the top?"
When this was mentioned, Yu Lijing's eyes flickered, and she nodded in acknowledgment: "It was me."
"Did I tell you back then that I wanted to become the Demon Lord? Did you bring it up with me first?" the Demon Lord continued to press.
“That’s right.” Yu Lijing nodded in agreement.
"Back then, Yu Jinshuo's strength wasn't as great as it is now, but he would definitely have been capable of becoming the Demon Lord. Xinyi is still too young to shoulder the responsibility of the Demon Lord. Why not let Yu Jinshuo become the new Demon Lord? Why make me, an 'outsider,' the Demon Lord?"
The Demon Lord deliberately emphasized the words "outsider".
