72 Whether you have ever liked that person or not, only you can decide

. "Anyway... I just don't like him..." Ji Chen muttered softly.

Then he said without hesitation: "And I abused him before, beat him, scolded him, forced him to kneel, I did it all."

"When did it happen?" Li Yuan restrained his smile and asked seriously.

"A long time ago..."

Ji Chen suddenly fell into memories. He remembered that when he brought Gui Tong back, Gui Tong was only five years old.

At the beginning, he also took good care of Gui Tong, and Gui Tong was also very clingy. The two of them slept in the same bed at night, hugging each other to sleep.

At that time, the system did not interfere too much with his behavior. After all, Gui Tong was too young at that time, and he really couldn't bear to abuse such a young child.

Although he didn't teach Gui Tong much about cultivation and swordsmanship, he didn't neglect reading and literacy, and also taught him some practical magic arrays.

He would buy Gui Tong whatever he wanted to eat, and secretly satisfy his wishes.

Later, Gui Tong grew up gradually, and when he was about fifteen or sixteen years old, the system felt that it couldn't be delayed any longer, so it began to force him to abuse Gui Tong.

The main purpose was to make Gui Tong fall into evil.

This is the last link of the task. As long as it is completed smoothly, you can leave here.

Ji Chen hesitated for a long time at that time, but he really didn't want to live in this world pretending to be someone else. He just wanted to go back to the original world and be himself, just be an ordinary person.

Have your favorite career, cook for everyone, and listen to them praise his cooking skills.

So, selfishly motivated, he did as he was told in order to complete the task.

He also thought that Gui Tong would soon be unable to bear it and leave him.

But he didn't expect that Gui Tong would hold on for nearly ten years. No matter how he was tortured and abused, and how he deliberately favored other disciples in front of him, he just refused to leave. In the end, he

had to give him a sword with his own hands before he was willing to give up.

Ji Chen had forgotten what it felt like at the time, although he still remembered it when he was in the secret realm before.

What exactly was it like...?

Ji Chen covered his head and felt a little pain in his head.

"Master, I just want you......"

"Ah——————!!!"

Ji Chen suddenly screamed in pain.

This scream even attracted the attention of the tavern owner.

The boss thought that Ji Chen roared because he drank his own wine and found it unpalatable, so he ran over to apologize.

"I'm sorry, sir..."

Before the boss could finish his words, Ji Chen buried his head in his arms again, wrapped his arms tightly around his head on both sides, and made a series of vague groans.

"Ah... uh..."

The boss was startled, and his expression became even more panic.

Fortunately, Li Yuan waved his hand at him and comforted him: "Don't worry, don't worry, he just drank too much and got drunk. You go and do your own thing, don't worry about him."

The boss left with lingering fear.

Before leaving, he didn't forget to add: "Then I'll get you a bowl of sobering soup..."

Ji Chen couldn't hear what the boss said at all.

He wanted to remember something, but he just couldn't remember anything.

He didn't lose his memory, all his memories were complete, but he still felt that something was missing.

What exactly... was missing?

Seeing that Ji Chen was about to collapse, Li Yuan couldn't bear it and reached out his hand, hanging above Ji Chen's head, and passed his spiritual power to him, trying to stabilize his mind.

"I was too impatient... I should give you some time to remember it yourself..."

"Take your time to think about it... Whether you have ever liked that person or not, only you can decide."

"As for Your Majesty, think about it, as a ghost, he has remained chaste for you for five hundred years... Our sense of smell is different from that of ordinary people. We can smell the fragrance of human essence. Although we won't starve to death if we don't eat it, we will at least feel uncomfortable."

"Anyway, I couldn't bear it after more than twenty years, but he could endure it for so long and never touched anyone."

"It shows how much he likes you..."

"So after he knew your identity, he immediately made those seemingly retaliatory insults to you. It was really just his instinct as a ghost."

"How rational do you expect a ghost who has been hungry for five hundred years to be, right..."

"Stop talking!"

Ji Chen felt that his head was about to explode with pain, so he almost didn't hear a word Li Yuan said.

He raised his hand and ripped away Li Yuan's hand that was holding his soul, staggered to his feet, and ran away like a frightened bird.

Because he ran too fast and too hurriedly, he even bumped into the boss who brought him the hangover soup.

With a "bang", the porcelain bowl fell to the ground, and the hangover soup was all spilled.

Ji Chen stepped on the debris on the ground and fled.

The boss, who was still holding the bowl in his hand, stared blankly at Ji Chen's quickly running figure, and asked in confusion: "Drunk... and can still run so fast...?"

"No! Sir, you haven't settled the bill yet..."

"I'll pay for his drinks." Li Yuan said, and threw a large piece of silver on the table, "Is this enough?"

When the boss saw so much money, he immediately grabbed it and took a bite, then accepted it with a smile on his face, "Enough, enough, enough, enough!"

Li Yuan waved at the boss, motioning him to come over.

The boss naturally lowered his head and approached the guest who was so generous. "Do you have any other instructions?"

Li Yuan leaned down and whispered to the boss's ear slowly: "What you saw, the people you saw, and the words you heard today, you are not allowed to tell anyone else."

"Okay, okay."

"Okay, nothing else."

Just after saying this, the boss was about to leave, and Li Yuan called him again: "Oh, and one more thing... give me some of your dried sweet potatoes, or other dried goods, anyway, as long as it is not alcohol

, it's fine." "Okay, sir, please wait a moment."

While waiting for the boss to deliver the goods, Li Yuan put his hands together under his chin and fell into deep thought.

He was thinking that with his stimulation and reminder just now, Ji Chen should soon remember the things that were eliminated by Xue Wuxi.

That was the feeling for Gui Tong.

Regardless of whether this feeling is love or not, it is the only way to stop Gui Tong from going crazy.

Although he is a member of the ghost clan, he also hopes that the ghost clan can be revived.

But the new ghost clan created by Gui Miao is very different from the previous ghost clan.

Although the previous ghost clan also needed to absorb the essence of humans, it would not suck people into bones.

Even Gui Miao meant that humans and immortals would become food and playthings for these new ghost clans.

They never thought of coexistence.

Gui Tong originally disdained to return to the ghost clan, and did not support Gui Miao's approach.

If Ji Chen's feelings for Gui Tong had not been manipulated by Xue Wuxi...

manipulated?

Could it be that...

- Xue Wuxi not only eliminated Ji Chen's feelings for Gui Tong, but also hinted or sealed it?

If this is true.

Then Xue Wuxi, who has always been pure and spotless, is not far from corruption.

A mocking smile suddenly appeared on Li Yuan's lips.

At this time, the boss brought him a plate of dried sweet potatoes and placed it in front of him.

The golden color looked extremely tempting.

He couldn't wait to pick up one, and when he put it in his mouth to chew, he became slow and leisurely.

While chewing, he talked to himself with a smile.

"Wuxi, you finally act like a selfish human being... instead of the Wuji Sect leader who always thinks of others."

"I think I like you more, what should I do?"
