But...that person was not him.
Because the one he loves is always that innocent, simple-minded, and naive little girl.
Recalling the time when she and Chi Yan exchanged every smile and frown, every gesture they made, and every exchange of malicious glances between them at Qiankun Academy.
Zhan Xintang suddenly had a thought from the bottom of his heart: "These two people are a perfect match."
It’s not that I suddenly stopped loving you, but that I suddenly felt relieved.
Zhan Xintang smiled slightly, and there was relief and a sigh in his smile.
"Yuer, are you forcing me or threatening me?"
Zhan Xintang's words made Yun Yue realize her eagerness for quick success and the harm she had caused him, and she lowered her eyes instantly.
To be honest, although she had regained her soul and recovered her lost memories, the fact that these were called memories meant that they were a long time away from her.
For such a long time, she and Chi Yan have depended on each other. In order to avoid the pursuit of the Holy Palace, to get rid of the shackles of the jade ring, and for their freedom, she can be said to have racked her brains and tried every possible means.
She instinctively felt disgust towards the Holy Palace, and had no favorable impression of Zhan Xintang.
Now, although she has regained her memory and remembers Zhan Xintang, she has not been able to change her emotions well in such a short time.
That's why she was so materialistic and lost her composure when she was talking just now.
"Brother Xin, Yue'er doesn't want to force you, and what she said just now was certainly not a threat to you. You know best what kind of person Yue'er used to be.
Sometimes, just because you are kind to others doesn't mean they will be kind to you, and just because you are generous to others doesn't mean they will let you go. So being kind to your enemies is being cruel to yourself.
Yue'er and Chi Yan have already explained this point with their three thousand years of separation.
I said, if the Great Elder simply wanted revenge, Yue Er could keep the matter quiet and not make it a big deal. But if the Great Elder was involved with Ming, then the safety of the Dragon Clan would be at stake, and this matter would have to be made a big deal.
Imagine a dragon elder is connected to the Demon Realm Gu King. Besides targeting Chi Yan, are they planning to target your father? Are they planning to target your dragon clan as well?
Zhan Xintang's brow furrowed noticeably at Yun Yue's words. He hadn't considered this question before. For so many years, the Great Elder had always behaved well and hadn't caused any trouble.
Therefore, Zhan Xintang immediately defended the Great Elder, saying, "After all, the Great Elder is a highly respected elder of our Dragon Clan. Although he may be a little arrogant now, his basic character is still trustworthy."
"Basic quality?" Yun Yue raised her eyebrows.
"Lurking deep within, attacking while you're ill, is this what you call basic quality? If such a person can be called a person of quality, then you can salvage integrity anywhere."
"What do you mean?" Zhan Xintang was obviously unable to react to Yun Yue's words.
"Everyone's moral integrity has been lost."
“…”
"In short, if you want to prove the Great Elder's innocence, you must tell me exactly what happened. If it is true as you say, that the Great Elder and Ming have no connection, and that Chi Yan's death and the poison in the magic pill are two completely different things, then Yue'er promises to save face for your dragon clan and not make a big deal out of this matter."
"Can you... really guarantee that?" He looked at Yun Yue. He had heard about her skills before. So even though she repeatedly promised him, he still had doubts.
