Xu Yuan knew she hoped he would give her a way out, but he deliberately chose not to.

It wasn't because he still harbored resentment for past issues, what was more important was that he wanted to test whether the Ancient Goddess had taken part in the conspiracy against him.

Even though, during the last simulation, when they encountered each other in the Immortal Court, the Ancient Goddess took the initiative to greet him, which did not seem like the behavior of someone involved.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have taken the initiative to approach him.

But what if she intentionally wanted him to think that way?

"The order of the Immortal Emperor?"

The Ancient Goddess said with a laugh born of fury, "Since you claim it's the Immortal Emperor's order, where is his edict?"

"I forgot to bring it, but doesn't the Goddess trust me?"

Xu Yuan said with a smile that was not quite a smile, looking at her.

"Since it is not present, then... I am afraid I cannot comply."
