“Master, since I have chosen him, if I were to give him up because of something so trivial, I might be safe, but that wouldn’t be me.”

Liu Yue raised her head and looked earnestly at Brahma Saint Venerable, "Master, please allow your disciple to be willful one more time."

Meeting Liu Yue's gaze, the Brahma Saint Venerable paused slightly. This girl... was serious.

He knew this girl's temper well; once she made up her mind, nothing could change it.

"Never mind."

Brahma sighed and took out a brocade box.

"This item is called the Heart-Stabilizing Pearl, which can temporarily suppress the onset of the Heartless Poison."

"Thank you, Master. I knew you loved me the most." Liu Yue blinked, tucked the brocade box into her bosom, and blinked again. "It's getting late, so I'll take my leave now. Master, please rest early!"

After saying that, Liuyue ran out.

Looking at his disciple's retreating figure, the eyes of the Holy Brahma were filled with loving kindness.

He shook his head helplessly, then said to the screen not far away, "You've been watching for so long, and you're still hiding it?"

"Uncle-Master".

A man in a black cloak emerged from behind a screen depicting a landscape painting.

He raised his thin, bony arms, removed his cloak, and revealed a handsome face.

Although Mo Rufeng is now middle-aged and has aged considerably, his former charm can still be seen in his eyes and brows.

"well."

Seeing his expression, the Holy Brahma shook his head. "Where do you plan to go next?"

"Replying to Martial Uncle, I haven't decided yet."

"Why don't you stay?" When Brahma Saint Venerable walked to Mo Rufeng's side, he reached out and patted his shoulder.

Mo Rufeng asked in surprise, "What does Martial Uncle mean?"

If he had been tricked by Di Qing back then, perhaps he wouldn't have missed out on Fei Yan. But... it's all too late now. Over the years, he has long since become accustomed to wandering the world.

Upon hearing his uncle's words, Mo Rufeng was quite surprised.

"The position of Godhood is rightfully yours!"

Brahma patted him on the shoulder.

Mo Rufeng: "Uncle-Master, you must not! I come from a humble background and am not worthy of the responsibility of a God."

Mo Rufeng has never coveted the position of God, neither in the past nor now.

The old deity found him in the icy wilderness back then. If it weren't for the old deity, he would probably have died long ago. He was extremely grateful for this.

At that time, he thought that he would be willing to serve the old god for the rest of his life.

However, due to the manifestation of his talent, the old deity made an exception and accepted him as a disciple, but even though he became the deity's disciple.

The inferiority complex ingrained in him since childhood remains unchanged, clinging to him like a leech.

If only he had been a little braver back then.

He should have tried... perhaps Fei Yan wouldn't have been deceived by Di Qing. But by the time he learned the truth, it was too late!

The Ghost Clan has been sealed off, and Fei Yan's whereabouts are unknown...

Whenever he thinks of the past, Mo Rufeng lives in pain. He has already planned out the rest of his life: to secretly protect Liuyue...

If Fei Yan were still alive, she would probably do the same.

So when he heard that the Holy Venerable Brahma was giving him the temple, Mo Rufeng's first instinct was to refuse, feeling inferior, nothing but inferiority.

He felt unworthy, just like back then. Even though he had saved Fei Yan and left behind a keepsake, he still didn't dare to expose Di Qing's true colors after learning that Di Qing had stolen the keepsake and impersonated him.

"Mo Rufeng, do you know what you should never have done?"

"Please enlighten me, Uncle-Master."

"I feel unworthy."

Upon hearing this, Mo Rufeng's eyelids twitched violently.

"So, you need to try to change yourself. You want to protect Yueya, but how can you do so with your powerless and helpless status?"

"With your bare hands?"

"There are many people in this world with high cultivation, but few who possess both power and influence."

Brahma patted him on the shoulder, “You are your master’s disciple. Now that your senior brother is dead, you are the most suitable for this position.”

"Think about it. There's no need to rush to reply to me."

Brahma yawned, "Give me your answer tomorrow."

After saying this, the Holy Brahma left the temple.

Bathed in moonlight.

Mo Rufeng belatedly looked up.

Staring at the back of the Holy Brahma, he remained lost in thought for a long time.

The words of the Holy Venerable Brahma kept echoing in his mind: There are many people with great strength in this world, but very few people have both strength and power.

Yes... if only he had been braver back then.

Perhaps that will protect Fei Yan.

After many years, the choice has returned to him. Will he choose to run away again this time?

======

Liu Yue kept thinking about what her master had said: the Heartless Gu... Why had A Ming never told her about it?

They had promised each other that they would never hide anything from each other, but this man... kept it from her.

I don't know how long I've been hiding it, but even my master has figured it out!

Liuyue gritted her teeth, "Zhuque, go faster."

"yes."

Under the night sky, Liuyue leaned down and gazed ahead.

Suzaku quickened her pace, the wind whistling past her ears, but Liuyue's expression remained calm, even tinged with a hint of coldness.

That bastard had better give her a reasonable explanation!

Meanwhile, the Demon Realm was shrouded in a dark cloud after Leng Lixin's affair was exposed.

Only then did the elders realize Leng Lixin's true conspiracy, and Yin Ming ordered all the elders who had participated in the matter to go to the Demon Abyss.
