The little girl was timid, so they didn't want to scare her.
Hua Ruge, who usually liked to eat, only lightly tasted the food this time. After sitting for a while longer, he stood up and said: "It's getting late, I'll be going back first.
"I'll be there in two days." Shangguan Li promised.
Hua Ruge took two steps forward, turned around, and said: "Take care."
"You too." Shangguan Li answered with a voice that was always gentle and casual.
After Hua Ruge left, Lan Er had a face of doubt: "Pavilion Master, do you think the Principal has something on her mind? She didn't even eat much of the pastries."
Shangguan Li chuckled: "My Lan Er is smart."
"Pavilion Master, you're laughing at me again, this isn't something that can be easily guessed at." Lan Er scolded.
"I'm praising you. It's better to be smart. Don't be bullied in the future." Shangguan Li seemed to sigh with emotion.
"No one will bully me when I'm by the Pavilion Master's side." Lan Er naturally could not hear Shangguan Li's voice.
Shangguan Li laughed, and did not say anything else.
By the time Hua Ruge returned to the house, the sky had already darkened. He found out that Tuoba Rui was training in his cultivation room while the Young Master Wu Hen was in his room.
She slipped into the cultivation room, where Tuoba Rui had found someone to set up the array on the ground.
At this time, Tuoba Rui was sitting in the center of the formation, dressed in black clothes that were untainted in dust and surrounded by the spirit energy around his body.
Hua Ruge was not in a good mood as she walked over and sat beside him. She knew that he could not stop cultivating, so she laid on the floor with her head resting on his legs.
He looked ice-cold, but the temperature of his body was normal. Leaning against it, her heart felt a bit more at ease.
The wait was a bit long, so she couldn't help but close her eyes.
While she was in a daze, she felt herself falling into a warm embrace. When she opened her eyes, she saw that he had already hugged her from the ground.
"The ground is so cold, you're not allowed to lie down next time." Tuoba Rui's tone of voice was reprimanding, but his eyes were filled with pain.
Hua Ruge laughed, extended his hands and wrapped them around his neck, burying his head into the pit of his neck like a small beast seeking protection.
"What's wrong?"
Tuoba Rui noticed that she was not normal and asked with a gentle voice.
Hua Ruge rubbed his forehead against Tuoba Rui's clavicle, and said softly: "I just want to hug you for a while longer."
Tuoba Rui thought for a while, then asked: "Did Shangguan Li tell you anything?"
"Chat, she said the success rate is very low." Hua Ruge calmly said with her eyes closed in his embrace.
Tuoba Rui looked at her little face, and said. "So you're not confident anymore?"
"I've always been unsure, but I'm not worried about failure." As Hua Ruge spoke, he opened his eyes and looked at him seriously: "If I die, I won't be able to see you again, I'm a little reluctant to part with you."
Tuoba Rui was startled, then he lowered his head and kissed her.
After a long while, he caressed her face and said, "As long as you're here, I'm even more reluctant to lose."
Hua Ruge nodded his head: "I believe you."
"Then smile." Tuoba Rui pressed two of his fingers against the corner of her lips, pushing them outwards in an arc.
Hua Ruge was amused by him.
Tuoba Rui looked at her brilliant smile, and an intoxicated expression appeared in his eyes.
He would do everything he could to protect her color.
Hua Ruge only chuckled, and then sighed softly.
Even if she won, she might not be able to protect her friend. Deep down in her heart, she felt powerless.
Tuoba Rui lowered his head, stuck his forehead close to hers and said: "Hug me tightly and don't be afraid of anything. No matter what happens, I will face it together with you."
He could not give her any more promises. The only thing he could do was stay by her side and take responsibility for everything that might happen.
Hua Ruge tightly wrapped her arms around his neck and closed her eyes. Her somewhat chaotic heart gradually calmed down.
"Let's go back to sleep." he whispered in her ear.
Hua Ruge gently nodded his head.
After ten or so days, the people on the continent all felt that the situation was not normal. Every city had a defensive formation set up, and the disciples of the three big powers split up to protect them.
Even the profound beasts in the Profound Beast Forest were being escorted by the forces of the Da Yu. They were distributed among the four cities located at the edge of the four directions, east, south, west, and north of the continent.
Although no one knew what he was doing, they probably knew that something bad was about to happen.
Now that the world was unified and the Great Yu Dynasty had become the only power existing, everyone could tell that the Mortal Sovereign Alliance's three giants and the profound beasts that had never existed in the mortal world were all preparing for something big.
There were endless guesses and opinions from the people.
Fortunately, regardless of whether it was the commoners or the great sects, they all trusted the imperial government and the three great powers. Thus, they did not cause any panic.
On this day, Hua Ruge pulled Tuoba Rui out of the house and strolled on the street. Although the continent was filled with discussion, it did not affect the lives of the common people, which was what Hua Ruge was most happy about.
Hua Ruge held onto the meat balls wrapped in oil paper, and while eating, he pointed to a tall wall not far away: "Isn't that the Heaven's Altar? Why are there so many craftsmen coming out? "
"The reconstruction of the Heaven's Altar should be completed now." Tuoba Rui said.

Hua Ruge nodded his head: "So, we can begin very soon." 0
"Yes." Tuoba Rui's gaze fell on the high wall, but there were no obvious fluctuations on his face, and no one knew what he was thinking about.
"I need to eat more. I will have more strength when the time comes." Hua Ruge said as he continued to eat his meat balls.
Tuoba Rui laughed.
Hua Ruge inserted a meat ball with a piece of lot, and said as he placed it next to his mouth: "Come, taste one."
"It's too oily." Tuoba Rui had no intention to eat it.
"It doesn't taste good even if it's not oil. Eat one, quick ?" Hua Ruge said as he moved closer.
Tuoba Rui had no choice but to eat it.
Just as Hua Ruge wanted to ask him how it tasted like, a young man appeared in front of him. He bowed to the two of them and said, "Sir, State Advisor, the Monarch invites the two of you to enter the palace to discuss."
Hearing this, both of them raised their eyebrows at the same time.
Finally, it was time.
"Alright, hall master Cang Song is in my house. Have you invited him?" Hua Ruge asked as he walked.
"Returning to the State Advisor, I've already sent someone over." The man said.
Hua Ruge nodded, he turned and looked at Tuoba Rui who had swallowed the pill with his Adam's apple slightly moved, and smiled: "The taste is not bad."
She laughed, and the tension in her heart lessened.
When the two of them entered the palace, Jun Tianxia and Young Master Wu Hen were already there waiting. Hua Ruge and Tuoba Rui nodded towards the two of them and then sat down on their chairs.
