A Mismatched Conversation
The old man looked at the tea cup in front of him, remaining silent for a long time.
He had doubts in his heart and couldn't resolve them on his own. The last time the little one talked to him, he felt a little better in his heart. Watching her leave, he felt as if his state of mind had opened up and there was nothing to worry about...
But in the end, this confusion once again entangled him, and he still couldn't unravel it.
In addition to the confusion in his heart, there was another thing that he couldn't let go of.
In the year when he turned into a demon and his obsession took shape, he was completely unprepared. He was controlled and even seduced one of the palace maids in Emperor Justice's palace.
Afterwards, he fell into a deep darkness and remained unconscious for a long period of time. When he woke up again, he realized that everything was irreparable.
Finally sealed here...
The old man sighed lightly, unsure if there was still a possibility to undo his sins.

As the old man poured tea into the empty cup, he reminisced about everything.
Susie also happened to think of the old man.
She and Ledger had already left the mansion where Empress Nature was located and were on their way to find her father and ancestors.
"What are you thinking?" Ledger asked.
Susie thought for a moment and said, "Ledger, I know where Emperor Redemption is. But I feel like he doesn't want to come out himself."
Ledger was surprised that she knew where Emperor Redemption was.
If that's the case, the five major gods of the underworld... except for Emperor Origin, the rest have all gathered.
Emperor Justice, Emperor Savior, Empress Nature, Emperor Redemption...
He suddenly felt a sense of urgency.
According to the records of stone books, the five great deity gods were going to send her away together, breaking through the shackles of heaven and earth.
And now... he wouldn't be the weakest one, right?!
Suddenly, I remembered Empress Nature.
Well, Empress Nature ranked last, but he wasn't the weakest one.
Susie didn't know what Ledger was thinking. After the intense battle with the black-robed shadow, she found herself thinking about the question her ancestors had asked her before.
"The ancestor asked you... why did you and your father insist on breaking the constraints of heaven's will?"
In order to break through the constraints of fate and perish, they were willing to give their all and start over again... Since the future seemed bleak, why couldn't you all just stop and be happy together with the strength you have now?
Indeed, now she and Ledger were able to defeat the man in the black robe together. She just needed a little more time to grow, and she would definitely be able to slap the man in the black robe away with just one hand.
She and her father, they were already the most powerful in the underworld. She also had Empress Nature as their backing, and the King of Security and the King of Bian in the underworld were also her good friends.
Her ancestors were landowners in the wilderness.
Had power, had money.
She could walk horizontally in the underworld and live happily ever after with her family.
Why do we have to break through the old way of doing things?
"Ledger, why do you think we had to break the old rules?" Susie asked him, also questioning herself.
The answer in her heart was about to come out.
Ledger has always been alone, reaching this position.
He had experienced more direct and bloody killings than Susie.
"Perhaps it was the way of the world to nurture competition," Ledger chuckled. "With limited resources, everyone is fighting for survival. If you don't kill others, someday someone as powerful as you will come back to kill you."
"Secondly, nurturing a pot is not only about fighting, but also about making it shrink, hesitate, and avoid, which is another consequence of nurturing a pot, ultimately curling up in a corner, allowing the potter to manipulate it."
Susie: "..."
There seemed to be a crackling sound deep in the heart, like the sound of a cocoon breaking open.
Susie realized!
"I got it!" Her eyes sparkled with excitement as she exclaimed, "Thank you, Ledger!"
But the problem came along with it, and she started to panic.
"Oh no, oh no, I can't hold it anymore, I can't hold it anymore!" Susie spun around in circles.
The little monster sleeping on her shoulder woke up groggily, looked up in confusion and asked, "Squeak?"
Ledger instinctively said, "I... will find a place for you."
He looked around and finally pointed to a place, saying, "It's too far and I'm afraid it's not safe. You handle it there, I'll turn away and not look."
After he finished speaking, he turned around and faced away from Susie.
Susie said, "No... no, not now. We have to find Mom and Dad and our ancestors first. I'm afraid they'll worry..."
Ledger wondered why having someone follow him to the restroom wouldn't be a problem.
"It won't take much time." he said.
Susie shook her head, her face turning red with embarrassment. "No, no... it's been a long time for me..."
With his back turned to Ledger, confusion filled his eyes: "No matter how long, it will never be too long..."
Susie: "No no, sometimes it would just take a day or two, and other times a whole year would just fly by!"
Ledger: "....?"
He couldn't control his bladder and couldn't help but need to go to the toilet for one or two days, sometimes even a year.
Not correct...
Ledger suddenly realized, swiftly turned around, and looked at Susie, whose face had turned red from holding her breath.
She was very anxious, perhaps thinking about something in her mind, unconsciously falling into that kind of vague enlightenment, and her eyes became somewhat hazy.
"Susie..." Ledger exclaimed, understanding what was going on and making a quick decision, "You go ahead and do your thing, I'll be here for you."
He quickly took out three small hexagons, which looked quite futuristic, and placed them next to Susie, pressing her shoulders to make her sit down.
"I will take care of finding your father, mother, and ancestors!"
Susie wanted to say something, but she saw Ledger shaking his head slightly.
His eyes were determined and he was very persistent, which made her inexplicably relieved.
"Thank you for your trouble, Ledger..."
Susie murmured, closed her eyes, and in just a moment, she had an epiphany.
The little imp on her shoulder felt something and suddenly became excited!
Squeak!
Epiphany, Zhizhi! It could hitch an epiphany, Zhizhi!
The next second, however, Ledger picked him up.
"Don't disturb her."
He put the little monster aside, and the little monster protested, "Squeak!"
