The Eight Empresses Betrayed Me, Only to Deeply Regret It After Being Reborn Chapter 623: Enlightenment

In the beginning, Vermillion Bird always called Lu Ye by his name directly, and she didn't allow Lu Ye to call her Que'er.

This was because she was wary.

But as time passed, her wariness quickly disappeared, and Vermillion Bird tacitly accepted the address Que'er.

Lu Ye looked at the tearful Vermillion Bird, his heart as still as an ancient well.

The previous emotion only lasted for a moment; honestly, using past memories to affect his present self truly didn't have much meaning.

"Tell me, what did you need to see me for?" Lu Ye asked.

Vermillion Bird softly sobbed.

"An Li contacted me, hoping I could help her. She said that after devouring the Four Spirits of Heaven, she could recover to the Saint realm."

Lu Ye's thoughts stirred.

So, she's planning to make a move on the Four Spirits of Heaven!

However, how could An Li's intelligence be online at times and offline at others? You want to devour the Four Spirits of Heaven, yet you tell this to Vermillion Bird and ask Vermillion Bird, who is one of the Four Spirits of Heaven, to help you devour the Four Spirits of Heaven.

Are you being idiotic?

But after just a moment of thought, Lu Ye understood.

An Li is currently in a state of desperation; although she successfully occupied a Saint, she occupied a severely injured Saint.

Such a Saint is completely no match for a Celestial Venerable.

Cultivating step by step would take too long.

Seeking resources would lead to being quickly defeated.

She wanted to devour the Four Spirits of Heaven but couldn't defeat them. She knew that after the Time River battle, the Four Spirits of Heaven would fall into a weakened state, but she didn't know where the weakened Four Spirits of Heaven were.

What could she do?

She could only find Vermillion Bird.

An Li only needed a few brief exchanges with Vermillion Bird to clearly understand that if she didn't speak the truth and offer conditions that would move Vermillion Bird, Vermillion Bird would absolutely not help her.

The current Vermillion Bird, in An Li's view, was also in a desperate situation.

First, she was killed by Lu Ye himself once, directly reduced to an obsession.

After finally being resurrected, Lu Ye had completely regarded her as a stranger, and she would never have the chance to become Lu Ye's woman again.

And now, if she put forward the condition of giving Lu Ye to her, would Vermillion Bird be moved?

Maybe she would be moved, or maybe she wouldn't.

Lu Ye listened to Vermillion Bird's narration and slowly spoke.

"You're thinking a bit simply. Even if An Li is foolish, she wouldn't be this foolish. Devouring the Four Spirits of Heaven is more of a smokescreen she set up to make us focus all our attention on the Four Spirits of Heaven."

"And she can then enter the Time River and boldly devour resources."

"If we chase after her in the Time River, it would indirectly indicate that the defenses on the Four Spirits of Heaven's side are weak. If we don't chase her, it means that many traps have already been set up at the Four Spirits of Heaven, and she won't come over."

Vermillion Bird listened to Lu Ye's words and was somewhat dumbfounded.

Ah?

No...

Is it that complicated?

It's just a feint to the east while attacking in the west.

However, there is still a very simple solution to this matter.

What solution?

During the Time River battle, release the news of An Li's whereabouts. There will surely be at least eight hundred, if not a thousand, people chasing An Li. Experts from every time period will pay attention to whether An Li appears.

You must know that An Li's current state is an extremely huge temptation for all Celestial Venerables and even Great Emperors. Very few people can resist such a temptation.

This way, An Li will have no way of confirming whether there are ambushes here at the Four Spirits of Heaven.

Of course, An Li's strength will definitely increase significantly due to the Time River battle; this is unavoidable.

To encircle and kill An Li again, relying solely on the power of the current era, whether they can kill An Li is still an unknown.

But Lu Ye can indeed call for help!

For example, the last battle.

If Red Dust Saint lets go, then the vast number of experts who died at the hands of Red Dust Saint can all become Lu Ye's helpers.

If Red Dust Saint cannot let go...

Then everything will be destroyed; any plans, any future will completely vanish.

However, An Li being able to trust Vermillion Bird so much still surprised Lu Ye.

For someone like An Li to say something like devouring the Four Spirits of Heaven so simply and straightforwardly is truly somewhat unbelievable.

Under normal circumstances, An Li would definitely probe in every way possible. Only when she truly couldn't find the location of the Four Spirits of Heaven would she speak about this matter.

"An Li would actually trust you so much?" Lu Ye asked.

A sad smile appeared on Vermillion Bird's face.

"That's because I was in the Six Paths of Reincarnation. During An Li's constant reincarnations, she suffered the hostility and isolation of countless people. Only I always stood by her side, never leaving, all for the sake of one day being able to help Husband!" Vermillion Bird said, her eyes teary.

Only then did Lu Ye realize.

So that's how it is.

"Husband, I truly love you very, very much. I am using every method to help you, wanting to make up for my past mistakes, my past distrust of you. Can you give me a chance? I only need a little bit of hope." Vermillion Bird's voice was almost breaking.

She was truly, deeply regretful, truly profoundly aware of her mistakes.

She already understood that her biggest mistake was that she shouldn't have distrusted Lu Ye. She clearly knew what kind of person Lu Ye was, so why did she become so confused at that time?

Now, having a second life, she truly profoundly knows that she was wrong.

She doesn't need any benefits from Lu Ye, because she ~Nоvеl𝕚ght~ herself is Vermillion Bird. Even without Lu Ye's help, as long as she seriously and painstakingly improves step by step, she can also reach the level of White Tiger and Black Tortoise.

Her approaching Lu Ye again is not because she yearns for the benefits of staying by Lu Ye's side.

She just wants to regain that sincere love.

Lu Ye looked at Vermillion Bird.

He just looked at her directly like that.

Vermillion Bird didn't flinch or avoid his gaze; her eyes were full of sorrow and pain.

The pain wasn't because of the suffering she endured, but because of her past actions.

At this moment, Lu Ye didn't know what kind of feeling was in his heart.

He also didn't quite know how to respond to Vermillion Bird's attitude at this time.

Honestly, if Yin Qingcheng or even Yue Hongling had reached this point, Lu Ye's heart would definitely have been shaken, but why was it Vermillion Bird?

Because Lu Ye had completely let go of Vermillion Bird.

No love, no hate.

Under these circumstances, what was there to talk about forgiveness?

It was just that he didn't love her anymore.

But Lu Ye also knew that saying things like 'I don't love you' would not be listened to by Vermillion Bird. Seeing that what Vermillion Bird had done this time was indeed faultless, Lu Ye didn't want to discourage her anymore.

"Fellow Daoist, in this life, my heart is set on the Dao. Matters of love between men and women can wait until I achieve the Dao!"
