I thought Mo Ziyan could hold on for a day or two at worst, but she didn't even think about how to survive. If Jiang Zhige hadn't been guarding her, she would have been bitten to death by the monster at the beginning.

"Whatever, we have to grow up anyway."

Jiang Zhige hesitated for a moment, but finally sighed and decided not to lower the difficulty of the trial.

He is the elder, and there is nothing wrong with him protecting Mo Ziyan, but Mo Ziyan will have to face many things alone one day. With her current lively girlish personality, she will be like a lamb to be slaughtered after leaving the protection of Tianyun Pavilion.

After all, they had been together day and night for twelve years. Jiang Zhige felt suffocated just thinking about the girl he had watched grow up being bullied.

"This Demon Emperor has completely taken on the mentality of an old father, right?"

"If you think about it carefully, Fairy Ziyan has been following the Demon Emperor since she was eight years old. How could the Demon Emperor be interested in a little girl?"

"No, in the mortal world, it is said that girls change a lot when they grow up, let alone immortals with long life spans. I don't believe that the Demon Emperor can always treat Fairy Zi Yan as a little girl."

Everyone in the hall was quite emotional. They were all elders in the clan or sect and could understand Jiang Zhige's feelings to some extent.

As for the so-called indifference, after seeing what Jiang Zhige had done for Mo Ziyan, they knew that it was nonsense. Jiang Zhige looked aloof purely because of his personality.

Mo Ziyan should have realized this back then, otherwise why would she be so dependent on a master who was as cold as ice?

Having said that, many female monks are still indignant, and they can relate to Mo Ziyan's experience more.

If you like someone, then you like him. What’s the problem with age? Mo Ziyan has liked Jiang Zhige for so many years, so he should have an attitude.

This is indeed the fact. Mo Ziyan no longer expects Jiang Zhige to be attracted to her. She just wants Jiang Zhige to show her attitude.

In the past ten years, did Jiang Zhige really care about her, or did he treat her as a dispensable existence? Although Jiang Zhige in the memory now is only doing good for Mo Ziyan, when she thinks of Jiang Zhige's indifference at that time, Mo Ziyan, who had just had a little hope, felt like being poured with cold water.

At this moment, Jiang Zhige seemed to care a lot about Mo Ziyan, but why did Jiang Zhige ignore her when she was forced to get married?

Thousands of years have passed, and Mo Ziyan had buried these memories deep in her heart, but now she is eager to see the answers.

This urgency is not an expectation, but a faint prayer.

Mo Ziyan was nervous at first, but in the second half of the night she was so sleepy that she actually slept in the forest.

Jiang Zhige couldn't describe this with helplessness, he could only say it was admiration. He had lived for hundreds of years, but this was the first time he had seen a cultivator with such a big heart, and the other party was his disciple.

Fortunately, he was on guard all night, and any monster hiding in the dark and spying on Mo Ziyan would be killed if it got even a little closer.

In the early morning of the next day, Mo Ziyan woke up suddenly from her sleep with tears in her eyes, and shouted in a broken voice: "Master! Master!"

She hurriedly stood up and looked around, and found that she was still in Baihai Mountain where monsters were everywhere, and Jiang Zhige was not by her side.

Mo Ziyan breathed heavily and stared at the silent surroundings for a long time.

When she came to her senses, she took out the spirit sword from her storage ring and murmured, "I have grown up. I can't always rely on Master to protect me."

Mo Ziyan's expression gradually became determined, and he walked deeper into the forest.

It is almost impossible to survive here for seven days relying solely on combat power, so she must find a safe place to hide.

After saving his life, he still has to find some rare treasures, or defeat some powerful monsters, so that he can get Jiang Zhige's praise.

High in the sky, Jiang Zhige secretly wondered what Mo Ziyan dreamed about last night that made her grow so fast? Normally, people would forget dreams quickly, but Mo Ziyan still remembered that dream very clearly.

Because of that dream, not only did Mo Ziyan grow a lot overnight, but she also understood why she couldn't impress Jiang Zhige.

In the dream, Mo Ziyan saw Jiang Zhige appear to protect her, and she hid in his arms like she did twelve years ago.

Jiang Zhige changed from his previous indifference, always smiling and holding her hand when walking.

Mo Ziyan felt very happy and thought that was reality for a moment. She was immersed in the dream and didn't want to wake up.

Unfortunately, it was a nightmare after all. Not long after the two of them were intimate, Jiang Zhige was killed by a monster while protecting Mo Ziyan.

The bloody scene and Jiang Zhige's tears seemed to be happening right before his eyes, so much so that Mo Ziyan still remembers it to this day.

At that moment, Mo Ziyan understood that no matter how her appearance changed, she would always be just a little girl in Jiang Zhige's heart, as she kept seeking dependence and constantly made Jiang Zhige worry.

Only by growing up and becoming independent can you change the impression of yourself in Jiang Zhige's mind and prevent your dream from becoming reality.

"So, you remember these things very clearly?"

Mo Ziyan looked sad and turned to look at Jiang Zhige who was half-kneeling in the hall.

She couldn't deny that she had indeed loved Jiang Zhige, but unfortunately she also knew that a thousand years had passed, and no matter what the truth was, there would be no possibility for her and Jiang Zhige again.

What Mo Ziyan wants now is just the truth and an attitude, so as to give an explanation for the love she had back then.

Let the dreams and feelings of those years disappear with the wind.

Qu Yun, who was always paying attention to Mo Ziyan's movements, was secretly delighted. Mo Ziyan would indeed not be like Nangong Rou and still have an inseparable feeling for Jiang Zhige.

After all, Mo Ziyan is different from Nangong Rou. She also held a little hatred towards Jiang Zhige at first. After witnessing these memories, her hatred dissipated a lot, but she would not rekindle her old feelings for Jiang Zhige.

Because their relationship back then remained that of master and disciple from beginning to end, and this is even more so now that a thousand years have passed. Nangong Rouze and Jiang Zhige have an unforgettable past.

When two people recognize each other, that is love. Mo Ziyan is just a girl who was lucky enough to become Jiang Zhige's disciple. Even if the old love is rekindled, it is still unrequited love.

"Jiang Zhige, ah Jiang Zhige, even if Nangong Rou really tried her best to save you, you are a thing of the past. It is impossible for Zi Yan to fall in love with you."

Under Jiang Zhige's gaze, Mo Ziyan began to become cautious and no longer rushed around in the forest surrounded by monsters.
