A puppet...
Xiang Sheng lowered his eyes to hide the loss in them.
It turned out that in his eyes, she was just a plaything that left no impression on him.
That’s right.
Those dreams from her previous life were unforgettable and unique to her. As time passed, the memories did not fade, but became even deeper.
But this period of time actually only lasted for fifty-two nights at most, which is less than a month in total.
In the long years of a large tree, which could easily last for thousands of years, what was this little time? He should have forgotten her existence long ago.
Xiang Sheng thought silently, while the harsh words outside continued.
"Your Highness, I heard that you care a lot about the spirit that descended from heaven, and even taught it many of the clan's secret techniques, asking it to try to practice them. Is that true?"
The young man's eyes were cold. The elder's words were so firm and there must be a basis for them, so he would not tolerate any rebuttal.
But only Yuan Mo and Si Yan knew the details of his retreat, and it was impossible for them to betray him.
The young man's expression calmed down as he quickly explained, "Great Elder, you're incredibly well-informed. I did have thoughts of cultivating that heavenly spirit, but the ancient artifact wasn't up to the task and was accidentally damaged. Despite searching for it several times, I couldn't repair it completely, so I simply put it aside. Why is the Great Elder so interested in her?"
"I am concerned about Your Highness. Mortals are like passing clouds, and are nothing but a nuisance to Your Highness. Since Your Highness understands, I will not say any more."
The old man's expression eased slightly, and he continued, "Last time, an accident happened in Leng Zhuhai. Every time the clan talks about it, they feel terrified. Just having Yuan Mo serving you is still too weak. I personally selected a maid with good bloodline, named..."
"Grand Elder."
The young man interrupted the old man, his tone still calm, "There is a sacred tree suppressing this place. Even if you send people here, they won't survive for more than a few days. Why bother?"
The old man's face darkened slightly, "Your Highness..."
"Great Elder, no one knows the sacred tree better than me. Without its permission, anyone who sets foot here will die."
The young man looked slightly concerned and said in a gentle voice, "Although you came here as a reflection of your spirit, you can't stay here for too long. Otherwise, the sacred tree will get angry, and you know the consequences."
The young man's words were so humiliating, the old man couldn't help but waved his sleeves and said stiffly, "The war is approaching. Your Highness must prepare early and don't delay the important matters of the clan."
After saying this, the old man's figure instantly turned into smoke and disappeared.
The young man still stood there without moving, looking at the place where the old man disappeared, his brows slowly furrowed.
The Great Elder has always relied on the Saint Girl and has always been at odds with him, but now he suddenly comes to visit and his words are surprisingly gentle.
...Is there something wrong within the clan?
Thoughts flashed through his mind, but were quickly suppressed. The young man's vision cleared up, and he turned around to continue his meditation, but when he looked up, a figure caught his eye.
That beautiful face that was so familiar that it couldn't be more familiar made his body tremble slightly and his pupils shrink suddenly.
Xiang Sheng?!
Why is Xiang Sheng here? No, it's the Great Elder...
He instantly concealed the fluctuations in his eyes, regaining his indifference. His tone was distant and wary: "You have trespassed here and disturbed my meditation. What is your reason?"
He really didn't remember.
Xiang Sheng had expected this, so he wasn't disappointed, and even felt a little happy.
She looked at the young face opposite her. In her dreams before, from a puppet's perspective, her vision was only up to his waist, and at most she could see a sharp chin.
Today, I finally saw this face clearly.
He is more handsome than I imagined.
After a moment of daze, Xiang Sheng quickly regained his composure, bowed slightly, and said, "Senior... I don't know how I was able to get here. I was just floating in the starry sky when I saw a sea of bamboo and was drawn here. I ended up here in a daze."
Since he doesn't remember, there's no need to talk about the past, so as not to make him feel bad.
Xiang Sheng planned this and never mentioned it because he recognized the bamboo forest.
"In that case... Yuan Mo!"
The young man shouted coldly, and saw the gray fog surging. A black dragon rushed in from outside the gray fog, transformed into a human form, and knelt on one knee in front of the young man.
It turns out that the black dragon was Yuan Mo.
Xiang Sheng looked at Yuan Mo, and Yuan Mo also saw Xiang Sheng and was suddenly shocked, "Master, she..."
The young man glanced at Yuan Mo coldly, and Yuan Mo immediately fell silent, but he was puzzled.
The master didn't say it, but he could see that the master had been thinking about seeing the spirit from heaven again every day. Why was he so indifferent now that he had seen it?
"The wild wandering god has strayed into this place, you take her out."
Wild wandering god?
Hearing the master's order, Yuan Mo looked at Xiang Sheng curiously, but he couldn't say much. He just came to Xiang Sheng and said, "Master likes quietness, please come in."
Xiang Sheng smiled and nodded: "Okay."
Being able to see a big piece of wood, she has fulfilled her original wish and there is no need to stay any longer.
When the young man saw that she was about to leave with Yuan Mo without saying anything, he suddenly thought, "Wait."
Yuan Mo immediately stopped and looked back at his master with a puzzled look on his face.
The young man looked at Xiang Sheng silently for a moment and said, "Yuan Mo, you go down first."
Yuan Mo was even more confused. What was his master doing?
But no matter how confused he was, he had to obey his master's orders, so he had to bow again and turn away.
"Si Yan, you go down too. Guard the perimeter of the sacred tree and don't let anyone in."
The young man's tone was harsh, which made Xiang Sheng think more.
She frowned, "What do you mean, Senior? Is there a misunderstanding?"
