"This father should just watch and not intervene." 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

"I do not wish for you to be entangled with her true self anymore. Those who want her dead are countless. If you marry her, even if you appear indifferent towards her, in the eyes of outsiders, you are undeniably husband and wife, a family. When that time comes, the sharp blades aimed at her will inevitably involve you and your children too."

As soon as the words were spoken, a brat came in to report, "Netherworld King, the Heavenly King has sent a letter for you."

"Bring it here."

"Yes."

The Netherworld King received the envelope, opened it slowly, and his expression immediately turned solemn. After reading the letter, he instructed the brat to leave.

"Do you know what is written in this letter?"

"This son does not know."

"The Heavenly King wrote clearly that during this Six Realms conference, the Heavenly World will not form a marriage alliance with the Netherworld due to the incident involving Jun Xiangyi and your third brother. Thus, our Netherworld can no longer form a marriage alliance with the Heavenly World, and we can only seek alliances with other realms. Do you still want to participate?!"

Long Yubei furrowed his brows slightly, "Am I supposed to just watch her marry someone else helplessly?"

"Your not marrying her couldn’t be better. If she were still just Gu Lili with her mortal identity, I wouldn’t bother you, but now that she is of the Heavenly World, the Heavenly King has specifically sent a message not to form an alliance. If you still bring up marriage on the day of the Six Realms conference, it’s likely the Heavenly King will be angered, not to mention it will disrespect our Netherworld. Seventh, the siblings Jun Li are like hot potatoes; whether others’ spells are stronger or weaker than theirs, all want them to legitimately disappear. If you truly want to protect her, it’s better not to get too close to her. She herself is already troubled about her and Immortal Jun Yu’s situation, and having to additionally worry about you and the two children could inadvertently provide leverage to those who wish her dead."

The Netherworld King pondered before continuing, "Moreover, your father also wants to see you safe. Seventh, her being the true Gu Lili, this should only be known between you and me. Remember this well."

It took Jun Li a while to see Long Yubei come home, and she couldn’t help but wonder if he was angry?

So she went to Long Yubei’s bedroom, and just when she arrived, he came back.

"Why do you suddenly want to form an alliance?"

"My brother and I have never participated in any marital alliances. This time, the Heavenly King contacted us to lay low during the Six Realms conference, thus he arranged for my brother to undergo tribulations, and as for me, they said to guard the imperial mausoleum for three hundred years. What might change in three hundred years? Nobody knows, naturally I would not agree." Jun Li looked at him, "How about I choose you then? We show respect to each other outwardly, putting on a show for others."

"Although outwardly it may seem we are unrelated, in reality, we are already husband and wife, already a married couple, how can we say it’s unrelated acting respectfully?" Long Yubei continued, "Initially, I proposed that we secretly correspond as I felt it was the best method, thus protecting both you and me."

Jun Li stared at him blankly, "You don’t want to form an alliance with me?"

"It is not that I do not want to, but that I cannot."

"Why can you not?"

He told her truthfully, "Today my father called us to discuss the Six Realms conference, and I had already expressed my non-participation, but later when I heard you wanted to form an alliance, I specifically stayed behind to tell my father I was willing to participate, unexpectedly the Heavenly King sent a letter to my father."

"What did the letter say?"
