The hand squeezed his and he turned to his husband, walking closer, needing to be near him.
"Did you know?" His voice wavered.
"No, not until recently or else I would have told you beloved. I promised I would be honest with you. I intend to not break it."
Wang Li spoke softly and he squeezed the hand in his.
"How… how do I know this is the truth?" He turned his golden eyes at the golden light, "You were not honest with my master, you were not honest with us. How do I know this is true?"
"I assumed it was not needed after the Ghost King died, but then the demon gathered the broken soul. The Ghost King had returned and you have became the way you are once more… but worse," Jade Emperor paused for a moment, "He must return to release himself, Chosen One. If he stays, this world will not survive another war, even with your students trained for battle."
Ying Yue stared blankly at the heavenly being.
