Lu Jingzhi was silent for a moment, then whispered, "I'm sorry, my lady."
"I'm sorry? Can a simple sorry make up for everything?"
Yan An's tears finally burst out.
"Do you know how scared I am?"
"But what about you? Where are you?"
Lu Jingzhi looked at her painful expression and felt full of self-blame.
He wanted to explain why he was trapped in the secret realm, but in the end he didn't say it.
Instead, he took a step forward and hugged her tightly in his arms regardless of her struggle.
"I'm sorry, my lady."
"I was wrong."
Yan An struggled in his arms for a few times, and finally leaned weakly on his chest, her tears soaking his clothes.
Her voice was weak and trembling. "Do you know... how scared I am..."
Lu Jingzhi gently stroked her hair and said softly, "I know, I know everything."
"It's my fault for not coming back when you needed me the most."
Huo Yuxi and Mu Qing stood aside, watching the scene silently.
Huo Yuxi said softly.
"Let them get along. Let's go and arrange the reconstruction of the city first."
Mu Qing nodded.
The two of them left quietly, leaving this space to Lu Jingzhi and Yan An.
After a long time, Yan An's emotions gradually calmed down.
She raised her head and looked at Lu Jingzhi's face.
"You...how did you become like this?"
At this moment, Lu Jingzhi has been in the secret realm of time for two hundred years.
The whole person has become much more mature and experienced.
Lu Jingzhi smiled bitterly and then told the story of the secret realm of time.
"I've always wanted to go out."
"I tried many ways, but I couldn't escape."
"I had no choice but to follow the old man's instructions and undergo trials over and over again."
After hearing his explanation, Yan An's anger and grievance towards him gradually dissipated.
"Ma'am, can you tell me what happened?"
Yan An shook his head tiredly, "I'm so tired, can you hold me while I sleep?"
At this moment, she didn't want to say anything and just wanted to have a good rest.
Lu Jingzhi picked her up by the waist and then sat on a large rock in the ruins.
Yan An curled up in his arms and fell into a deep sleep.
But her eyebrows were still furrowed.
At this time, Mu Qing stepped forward quietly and whispered, "Jingzhi, where is Yin Yang?"
Lu Jingzhi sighed lightly, took out the precious ring in his hand and handed it to her.
Mu Qing took it and glanced inside.
I found Yin Yang lying there with wounds all over his body.
"Yin Yang, he..."
"Ancestor Yin and Yang wants to say something to you."
Mu Qing showed an expression of disbelief.
I didn't expect that Yin and Yang would really leave me.
My heart was filled with fear and sadness.
She took out Yin and Yang from the ring.
Yin Yang lay quietly on the ground, covered in wounds and breathing weakly.
Mu Qing's eyes were filled with tears, and her trembling fingers stroked his body.
"Yin Yang...wake up..."
"yin and yang……"
Just when she was about to collapse, Yin Yang's eyelids trembled slightly, and then she slowly opened her eyes.
"Mu...Mu Qing..."
"I...I feel like I'm almost dying..."
Mu Qing's tears instantly burst out and she held his hand tightly, "No, you won't die!"
"I won't let you die!"
Yin Yang coughed softly, "Actually... I have a wish that has not yet come true..."
Mu Qing's heart suddenly tightened, tears blurred her vision, "You say... I will listen to whatever you say..."
"Mu Qing...actually I've always...wanted to marry you."
"Can you...can you promise me?"
Mu Qing was stunned, tears streaming down her face uncontrollably, a complex feeling welling up in her heart.
She opened her mouth, but didn't know what to say, so she just held Yin Yang's hand tightly.
"Can you promise me?"
"This is my only last wish."
Mu Qing nodded and responded, "I do. I am willing to marry you."
Just when she was immersed in sadness.
Yin Yang suddenly blinked, and the smile on the corner of his mouth became more obvious.
"We agreed, you are not allowed to regret it."
Mu Qing was stunned when he saw Yin Yang, whose spirit had suddenly improved. After two seconds, he realized that he had been deceived by him.
"Mu Qing, how could I die so easily?"
"It hurts to see you crying."
Mu Qing widened his eyes, and the sadness on his face was instantly replaced by anger.
She suddenly let go of her hand and slapped Yin Yang's shoulder hard.
"You...you bastard! You actually lied to me!"
Yin Yang laughed heartily. Although his body was still weak, his spirits were much better.
He reached out and wiped the tears from Mu Qing's face, and said gently: "I'm sorry, I just wanted to see how worried you were about me."
Mu Qing was so angry that she gritted her teeth, but when she looked at his familiar face, the anger in her heart gradually dissipated, replaced by an inexplicable sense of peace.
She glared at him fiercely but couldn't help laughing.
"You're really... too much!"
Yin Yang held her hand, his eyes becoming serious, “However, what I just said is true.”
"Mu Qing, I like you and really want to marry you."
Mu Qing's face turned red instantly, her heart beat faster, and she lowered her head, not daring to look into his eyes.
She hummed softly, her voice as thin as a mosquito's.
"It depends on your performance..."
"Hey, what do you mean by watching my performance? You clearly agreed just now."
