He remembered very clearly that Ye Qiu Shuang did not practice the Way of Ruthlessness at first. She only started practicing it after she left him.
However, fate always seems to like to play tricks on people. After leaving Murong Jin, Ye Qiu Shuang's life trajectory seems to have changed drastically.
Over the years, Ye Qiu Shuang began to wander between the demon world, the human world, the devil world, and the underworld (ghost world), like a tree without roots, always drifting aimlessly.
However, even so, Murong Jin always managed to find her with his persistence and determination. Even though every time they met, he was met with a cold reception and she ignored him, he never had any complaints.
Murong Jin didn't know what she had been through during that time. He only knew that when she appeared in front of him again, she had embarked on the path of ruthlessness and became cold and distant.
In fact...Ye Qiu Shuang was not a heartless person at first. Her heart was full of warmth and tenderness.
Before she embarked on the path of ruthlessness, she showed extreme gentleness and kindness to her friends and family as well as strangers.
At that time, she was like the warm sunshine in spring, warm but not dazzling, making people want to get closer.
Murong Jin didn't know what Ye Qiu Shuang went through after she left him, which led her to choose the ruthless path.
It was not known whether his temperament had changed so much because of those experiences that he did not know about, or whether it was because he had practiced the ruthless way that he had changed so much and was so indifferent to her.
But he didn't care, because no matter what Ye Qiu Shuang became, he always liked her as a person, so facing her indifference and her pretending not to know him, even if it hurt him, he would choose to accept it.
Because his love for Ye Qiu Shuang has never changed. No matter where she goes, he will follow her closely, as if she is her shadow.
It was not until Ye Qiu Shuang became an elder of Qingyun Sect that she settled down. After Murong Jin learned about this, he also tried his best to get into Qingyun Sect.
But the reason why Ye Qiu Shuang was able to enter... was because she was a pure human, and she practiced a technique related to the human race, but Murong Jin was not.
He has the blood of the demon clan, practices the demon clan's skills, and does not use spiritual power but demonic energy.
The Qingyun Sect itself belongs to the human race. In addition, the demons have left many bad impressions on the human race over the years. Naturally, the Qingyun Sect would not allow him and refused to let him in.
But in order to be closer to Ye Qiu Shuang, he put in a lot of effort, including but not limited to, signing many heavenly contracts, being bound by constraints, and spending a lot of money...
After he made these moves, the leader of Qingyun Sect allowed him to enter Qingyun Sect as an exception, and he became the only demon cultivator in Qingyun Sect.
Of course, the leader of Qingyun Sect allowed it because he was half human, and because he did not fall into the devil's way due to an accident during his cultivation, and he would not lose his mind like those immortal cultivators.
However, after Qingyun Sect confirmed that he was trustworthy, they did not treat him unfairly. He became an honorary elder in Qingyun Sect and was poured a lot of resources into it.
As a sect of the human race, Qingyun Sect's resources are mostly suitable for the human race, but the sect leader specially searched for many things suitable for the demon race from all over the place for him, which can be said to be extremely thoughtful.
Think about it, he is the only one in this sect who practices magic, and he is the only one who can use these magic techniques, elixirs and other resources. It goes without saying who these are prepared for.
Although after entering Qingyun Sect, the progress of the relationship with Ye Qiu Shuang was almost zero.
Moreover, although Ye Qiu Shuang holds the position of elder in Qingyun Sect, she is rarely in the sect and cannot be contacted.
But the Qingyun Sect really treated him very well, and he also felt a sense of belonging here, which was an unexpected surprise.
Murong Jin pulled himself out of his memories and looked at the stone statue again: "Didn't they say... one hour here is one day in the trial space?"
"It's already been half an hour, which means Gu Qingze has been in there for half a day and still hasn't passed. This shouldn't be the case. This trial usually doesn't take this long."
"...Could he be in some danger?"
After a while, he thought of a worse scenario: "Could it be... that he died in there?"
"Should I go in and investigate... After all, if they're alive, we'd better find them."
"Besides... that lord values him so much. If he dies, I won't be able to properly explain it. If he's in there and is only injured, I can still go in and clean up the mess and protect him."
Murong Jin pondered for a moment, then shook his head and decided to let it go. "Forget it, let him fend for himself. If he can't even pass a trial of this intensity... how can he complete the others?"
"If he really died... the master would at most be disappointed and look for someone more qualified."
"But... I promised my sister before that I wouldn't let her apprentice die. This is a bit difficult. I can just say it was an unexpected incident. I'll be overwhelmed and won't be able to save him in time."
"Anyway... dying at the hands of my sister's sword would be a very happy thing."
