Of course, Qi Zhao was unaware of all this. He only knew that in this world, the only person who was truly good to him was his senior sister, and the only person who would protect him was his senior sister.
He once thought he could stay by his senior's side forever, until the world chose someone else instead of him.
…
The day before the wedding, Qi Zhao was still discussing the ceremony arrangements with the elders when Wan Ge saw her master.
"Master, what are you doing here? You've come out of seclusion?" Master said he would be in seclusion for a hundred years, but now he's come out in just a few decades.
Sword Master Mu Yun looked at his disciple and extended his hand: "The sect leader said you were captured and brought here. I really came to take you home."
"I don't plan to leave, Master. I plan to stay here with A-Zhao." Wan Ge shook her head.
Looking at Wan Ge in front of him, Sword Master Mu Yun said again, "He is no longer the person you know. You cannot stay here."
"No, Master, he is still, he is still my A-Zhao, he has never hurt me."
"He swallowed the heart of the Flame Demon, which is why he has become what he is now. He has merged with the heart of the Flame Demon. Even though he still has his own consciousness now, he will eventually be devoured."
"Ge'er, you can't save him. Even if he still recognizes you now and won't hurt you, what will happen later? Come with me!"
"No, Master, I believe in him. Besides, if he really has changed, he won't be Junior Brother anymore, and I can take care of him."
Sword Master Mu Yun stared at her in silence for a long while before finally speaking: "Is it for the sake of the Immortal Sect, or have you fallen in love with him?"
Wan Ge didn't seem surprised by his question and answered softly, "I like him. At first, I just didn't want him to be bullied, but after spending more time with him, I like him more and more. Master, you should go back. I should go back too, otherwise he will get anxious later."
After finishing her speech, Wan Ge turned around, but before she could take two steps, she suddenly lost consciousness.
…
"Your Majesty, Madam is missing." Jin Yue knelt on the ground, speaking tremblingly, her whole body shaking.
Upon hearing this, Qi Zhao immediately stood up, his face extremely dark. He first went to the room but couldn't find the person, and then ordered people to search the entire Demon Realm.
Qi Zhao sensed it for a while, and the last place he could feel the faint aura was in the back mountain.
Qi Zhao stood on the back mountain, and at the same time, the powerful elders also sensed that the back mountain seemed to have a different aura.
“There’s the aura of an immortal.” One of the elders said.
Qi Zhao clenched his fists tightly at his sides and took a deep breath: "It is Sword Master Mu Yun."
When the others heard the name of Sword Master Mu Yun, their expressions became somewhat complicated.
They had all been beaten by Sword Master Mu Yun, which is why they reacted differently when they heard his name.
As the number one figure in the cultivation world, Sword Master Mu Yun has killed quite a few demon kings, let alone these elders.
The opponent was simply too powerful; even though they hated him, they couldn't defeat him.
Moreover, they follow different paths, so it's normal for the other side to want to eliminate them. After all, if one were stronger than them, one would also want to eliminate them.
"Your Majesty, the wedding tomorrow..."
"Stop for now, I'll bring him back."
“But you… are still no match for Sword Master Mu Yun.”
They acknowledged that the Venerable One was very strong, but currently, the Venerable One's strength was perhaps only around 60% to 70% of that of Sword Venerable Mu Yun. While 60% to 70% might not seem like a huge difference, the actual gap is enormous.
Even if he had 90% of his strength, he might only be able to withstand a few moves from him.
"I need to go into seclusion. I hope you can continue to manage the demonic cultivators as I have instructed."
"Yes." The others exchanged glances and finally nodded. There was nothing they could do; none of them could beat Qi Zhao.
Moreover, judging from his appearance, he seemed confident that he could snatch the person back after he came out of seclusion. They were also looking forward to seeing if the Lord could become stronger.
…
…
When Wan Ge woke up, she found herself in her old room. The place was so familiar, yet it gave her a sense of estrangement.
She hadn't been by Qi Zhao's side for very long, yet when she returned to this familiar place, it felt so strange.
Wan Ge took a deep breath and looked at the person who walked in from outside: "Master, what do you want to do? Why did you bring me back?"
“Ge’er, I will not allow him to hurt you. I will never allow him to hurt you.”
Looking at the Sword Master Mu Yun in front of her, Wan Ge felt for a moment as if she hardly recognized him anymore.
