Whenever someone sincerely put Yan Huailiu on a high pedestal, he would want to give his heart to them and fight for them.
Yan Huailiu is the most soft-hearted person. He can tolerate other people's malice, but he feels unworthy of kindness, even if it is just a little bit.
No matter how nervous or scared I am, at this moment, nothing can compare to the guilt I feel.
Yan Huailiu only regretted that he had not shown up earlier, which allowed these people to take the responsibility on him.
"I'm really fine. It's normal to have some minor problems during training. It has nothing to do with you."
He explained anxiously, looking for help at his apprentice who was sitting beside him.
Gu Xingyun stood up almost immediately, walked to his side and echoed a few words, and finally managed to stop the people from crying.
Yan Huailiu sniffed and wiped away his tears quietly.
Gu Xingyun frowned at his actions and moved sideways to block him.
"My Lord, do you really not remember us at all?"
A man dressed as a scholar next to him asked.
Yan Huailiu said embarrassedly: "Sorry."
He really didn't recognize it, and even his disciples could only recognize it based on the description in the original book.
"If you forget it, just forget it. Just get to know each other again. Don't make it difficult for the Immortal Lord."
An elder began to teach the scholar, who wiped his tears, nodded, and stepped back.
Yan Huailiu was a little at a loss: "Don't worry, even if you don't remember, I will still help you. I will go and investigate the places where those evil spirits appeared. I will definitely restore peace to the town as soon as possible."
He was almost about to raise his hand and swear.
A group of people responded in unison.
Under such a passionate offensive, Yan Huailiu couldn't help but ask his apprentice for help.
Gu Xingyun made up an excuse, took the hand-drawn map from the people, and left with Yan Huailiu.
Only after walking to a sparsely populated area did Yan Huailiu breathe a sigh of relief.
"Why should Master be afraid of them? They are just a group of ordinary people without any cultivation."
Gu Xingyun asked in confusion.
Even if his master had lost his memory, it wouldn't be like this.
When faced with difficulties from various major sects, he handled them calmly. Why is he at a loss when encountering these ordinary people now?
Yan Huailiu calmed his breathing, wiped the sweat from his palms and replied, "I'm not afraid, I'm just not used to other people being so enthusiastic."
Gu Xingyun silently kept this in mind, and did not forget to ask again: "Master, are you not used to others being nice to you?"
The wheat seedlings in front sway in the wind, and the green color indicates a good harvest in the future.
Yan Huailiu looked ahead with an unfocused gaze, and his voice became much lighter at this moment: "I'm not used to it. I can't bear it, and I don't believe it."
He doesn't believe that anyone is sincere and only wants good for him.
The words quickly disappeared in the wind. There was silence for a long time, so long that Yan Huailiu had forgotten his true feelings at that moment. Only then did Gu Xingyun speak.
"Master, will you be truly kind to others?"
This is not what he wanted to say, but in this case, he still wanted to ask first.
Yan Huailiu was bending over to pull dandelions, and turned back to smile at Gu Xingyun: "Of course, how can I applaud if I'm not sincere?"
Gu Xingyun lowered his eyes, his hands clenched slowly under his sleeves, and after a long while he uttered two words: "Lie."
"The river they mentioned should be ahead. Let's go take a look."
Yan Huailiu pointed to a place not far away and called out, then puffed up his cheeks and blew the dandelion away with force.
One of them floated in front of Gu Xingyun, and he reached out and grabbed it and put it away.
"What do you think is doing evil here? A demon? A monster? Or a cultivator?" Yan Huailiu asked his apprentice for his opinion.
Gu Xingyun didn't know what he was thinking, and replied casually: "It could also be a ghost."
Yan Huailiu took a breath and his face turned pale: "Don't talk nonsense!"
He'll be scared, okay?
This is totally not on the same level as what he said!
When he meets a demon, he can rely on his advanced skills to kill it, but when he meets an evil ghost, he will be so scared that his legs will go weak!
Gu Xingyun chuckled: "So Master is also afraid of things."
"I'm not afraid, I hate it."
Yan Huailiu still had to maintain his composure.
Gu Xingyun was very cooperative: "Whatever the Master says is what I will do."
Anyway, it’s enough that only he knows this weakness.
The river is not very wide and the water is extremely clear. According to the locals, before the accident, they often washed clothes by the river, carried water to irrigate farmland, and occasionally caught fish in the river.
No one dared to go near the river for a long time after the accident.
It was rare for Yan Huailiu to see such clear water. In a good mood, he rolled up his sleeves and put his hand in.
Gu Xingyun frowned and pulled him back: "Master, we don't know what dangers there are here, so be careful."
Yan Huailiu shook off the water droplets on his hands: "It looks normal. The water is cool and quite clean."
Gu Xingyun took out a handkerchief and carefully wiped his hands: "It's better to be careful."
The action was too natural and too intimate.
Yan Huailiu coughed and withdrew his hand: "Have you forgotten that your master's cultivation is very high? No matter what it is, there is no need to worry."
Gu Xingyun looked at him and softened his voice: "Master, my cultivation is too low and I will be scared."
The next moment, he heard what he wanted to hear.
"It's okay, I'll protect you."
Gu Xingyun's eyes flickered: "Okay, then can I hide behind Master?"
Yan Huailiu patted himself indifferently: "Okay."
After the two left, a red light appeared from the originally calm bottom of the water and quickly dissipated.
Yan Huailiu studied the map: "Hmm... Let me see, Changqing Temple is on... uh, this road."
He led Gu Xingyun forward.
Gu Xingyun felt so relaxed for the first time, leisurely enjoying the sunshine and gentle breeze, turning on the curious baby mode: "Master, do you still remember why you liked this place in the past?"
Yan Huailiu saw the building in front of him clearly, walked a little faster, and replied casually: "I don't remember."
How could he know what the original body was thinking?
A plaque with the three big characters "Changqing Temple" appeared in front of him. The moment Yan Huailiu walked in, he saw the tall figure enshrining the temple.
He tilted his head and looked for a while: "Hey, this old man looks quite familiar."
The next second, he bent his knees and knelt directly on the mat in front of him.
Behind him, Gu Xingyun's face no longer had any trace of ease and comfort. His expression gradually became stiff, and the look he gave Yan Huailiu was extremely cold.
