Shu Lan from her past life waved her hand gently, "It's nothing, just a minor injury. I'll recuperate for a while and I'll be fine."

After saying that, the Shu Lan from his previous life walked straight towards his bedroom. Then, his voice drifted over from afar: "You should go and settle down those injured disciples and fellow cultivators!"

"Yes!" Qin An from his past life replied in a low voice, his head bowed. His fists were clenched tightly, feeling guilty for not being able to protect his master at all times, and even more anxious that he could not reveal the secret feelings he held in his heart.

...

Due to the constant invasion of extraterrestrial demons, the entire divine realm was filled with dread. People were anxiously preparing, all sensing that a great war was about to break out.

Shu Lan's injuries from her previous life have almost healed, thanks in no small part to Qin An's meticulous care. Day after day, Qin An arranged every aspect of Shu Lan's life, attending to every detail with utmost care.

On this day, the extraterrestrial demon overlord once again led his extraterrestrial demon army to attack the God Realm. This time, the scale of the battle was far greater than ever before.

In his past life, Shu Lan was entrusted with a critical mission and was about to head to the front lines. This was because Shu Lan was the most powerful figure in the entire God Realm, a pillar of strength that held the world in check. His presence would boost morale.

Just as Shu Lan from her previous life was about to leave, she was stopped by Qin An from her previous life.

After much inner struggle, and with a premonition from his past life, Qin An knew that if he didn't express his feelings for his master now, he might never have the chance again.

Thus, Qin An from his previous life stopped Shu Lan from her previous life.

"Master, I... I have something I want to say to you!" Qin An, in his past life, was extremely uneasy. He looked at Shu Lan from his past life with uneasy eyes.

"What did you say?" The Shu Lan of her past life stopped and stared into the eyes of the Qin An of her past life.

"Master, I... I love you!" In his past life, Qin An decided to go all out and boldly expressed his feelings for his master.

Looking into Qin An's resolute eyes from his past life, Shu Lan felt a surge of emotion within him. For some reason, he felt a slight flutter in his heart. However, he quickly suppressed this flutter and simply said, "With a formidable enemy at hand, I have no intention of discussing these matters with you." With that, Shu Lan turned and left.

Qin An's gaze dimmed instantly. His master had not accepted him. His master did not even show the slightest change in expression. Did his master... have no feelings for him at all?

In his past life, Qin An's mind was in turmoil, and he returned to his room dejectedly...

But what Shu Lan and Qin An didn't know in their previous lives was that, not far from them, in a secluded corner, someone had witnessed everything that had happened.

After the two left, the figure slowly emerged from the shadows, and it was none other than the master of the Book God Fei Yuan—Ancestor Ning Yu.

Ancestor Ningyu looked at the spot where Qin An from his past life had disappeared and sighed softly, "Alas! Senior Brother's love life has been so bumpy!"

He had watched his eldest brother grow up from the very beginning, and he knew perfectly well the affection his eldest brother had for their master. Because of this, he also knew how long Qin An had secretly loved Shu Lan in his previous life. And now, their master was unmoved by his eldest brother's words. How much of a blow must this be to his eldest brother?

On the front lines, the people of the divine realm and the demon realm are locked in a fierce battle.

Finally, the divine realm urgently needs to send reinforcements.

So, Ancestor Ningyu went to find Qin An from his previous life. "Senior Brother, Master urgently needs support. You must go and help him now!"

Upon hearing that his master needed help, Qin An in his previous life immediately got up and rushed out, leaving behind only one sentence: "Second Junior Brother, you come with me to help Master, and let Third Junior Brother stay and oversee Hanqing Palace!"

Ancestor Ningyu quickly caught up with Qin An from his previous life and they went to the front lines together.

Qin An, who had just arrived at the battlefield, suddenly narrowed his eyes, then his expression changed drastically, and he rushed forward instantly, shouting, "Master! Be careful!"

It turns out that in her past life, Shu Lan was fighting against the extraterrestrial demon ruler while also having to protect the weaker beings of the divine realm around her. After protecting another being from the divine realm, an extraterrestrial demon took advantage of Shu Lan's moment of protection and fired a Soul-Piercing Arrow, aiming straight for Shu Lan's heart.

In his previous life, Qin An had just arrived at the battlefield when he witnessed this perilous scene.

Upon hearing Qin An's words in her past life, Shu Lan was suddenly embraced from behind before she could even turn around. Then, a sharp "thud" was heard—the sound of an arrow piercing flesh.

Shu Lan, from his past life, turned his head in a daze and saw Qin An, from his past life, hugging him protectively, spitting out mouthfuls of blood. The Soul-Piercing Arrow had already pierced his heart.

"Xiao An!" Shu Lan, from her past life, lost control of her emotions and involuntarily called out Qin An's nickname from her past life.

Upon hearing his nickname, Qin An from his past life smiled and said, "It is my honor to be able to protect Master! It's all worth it to hear Master call me Xiao An."

In her past life, Shu Lan felt as if her heart was being tightly gripped, as if something of utmost importance was about to leave her.

He suddenly erupted, burning his own divine essence. This was a move that would inflict heavy damage on the enemy but also on himself. After using this move, Shu Lan's combat power increased greatly, and he immediately repelled the extraterrestrial demon army.

Finally, taking advantage of the extraterrestrial demon overlord's momentary lapse in attention, the Shu Lan of his past life defeated him with a single sword strike. Due to the extreme grief and rage he felt in his past life, Shu Lan actually comprehended a sealing divine technique during the battle.

In her previous life, Shu Lan immediately used this sealing divine technique, sacrificing half of her cultivation to seal the extraterrestrial demon overlord.

Upon seeing the extraterrestrial demon overlord sealed away, the people of the divine realm cheered and celebrated their victory.

But Shu Lan from his past life didn't care. He rushed to the injured Qin An from his past life and touched his cheek with trembling hands.

At this moment, Qin An, who was in his previous life, was almost out of breath. Just now, he had witnessed his master sealing the extraterrestrial demon overlord, and he felt so proud.

Upon seeing his master arrive, Qin An's lips curled into a slight smile. "That's wonderful! Master, we won!"

"No, don't speak, save your energy!" Shu Lan, from her past life, poured her divine power into Qin An's body with trembling hands. All the divine power in her life was poured into Qin An's body as if it were free, but Qin An's aura continued to weaken.

"Master, don't waste your energy, don't exhaust your divine power!" Qin An said hoarsely. At this moment, his breath was extremely weak, and speaking was very difficult.

"No, you have to hold on! You must survive!" The Shu Lan of the past life did not listen to Qin An's words and continued to send him divine power.

But the power of the Soul-Shattering Arrow was not to be underestimated. In addition, Qin An shot him in the heart, and his immortal body was completely shattered, and his immortal essence was on the verge of collapse.

"Master...please...listen to me..."
