"I heard that you let go someone you shouldn't have let go?" Yu Tianji asked while yawning, lying comfortably on Li Yuebai's legs.
"Yeah." Li Yuebai held the book without looking away.
"Huh? Could it be that the beauty is expecting her to repay the favor?" Yu Tianji was surprised.
"Host, the system knows that you have always been following the path of the Holy Mother." The system said helplessly: "But this time, it's a bit too Holy Mother, isn't it...? It's a bit cliché. The Lord God will not be satisfied with such a development."
"Is it cliché? This Immortal Lord finds it very touching..." Yu Tianji said nonchalantly.
"You really don't hate Ji Yao for what she did in the original plot?" the system asked doubtfully.
"What does the original plot have to do with me?" Yu Tianji said with a smile.
"Too……"
"System, you just mentioned the Lord God?" Li Yuebai smiled and said, "What kind of development does the Lord God want to see?"
"The Lord God's preferences are not fixed, but the biggest principle is that they must be interesting and unexpected." The system replied.
"In that case, wasn't my previous life enough to satisfy him?" Li Yuebai said helplessly.
"Perhaps it is because of your satisfaction that you continue your journey." said the system.
"I'm sorry." Li Yuebai smiled and said, "I'm afraid I won't be able to satisfy the Lord God next time."
"Why?"
"I'm afraid the following plot will be dull for a long time." Li Yuebai put away his pen and took out a piece of paper with a strange-shaped military formation diagram drawn on it.
Yu Tianji was stunned for a moment: "This is..."
"New formation diagram." Li Yuebai said.
Yu Tianji pretended to pick it up and read it for a long time, then said in disappointment, "I don't understand it."
"Don't play dumb." Li Yuebai rebuked, "You clearly understand it."
"Eh?" Yu Tianji asked in surprise, "How do you know that I can understand it?"
"You've fought so many battles, and you tell me you don't understand." Li Yuebai said with a smile, "Do you think this is cuter?"
"Yes." Yu Tianji said without blinking, "My beauty, don't you think that I, the Immortal Master, look innocent in this disguise?"
"What innocence? It's obviously stupidity and ignorance." Li Yuebai laughed.
"This formation..." Yu Tianji teased for a long time before focusing his eyes on the picture. After a long while, he frowned and said, "This formation is too easy and too frivolous. Can it really defeat a strong enemy?"
"This formation is called the Butterfly Catching Formation." Li Yuebai said, "It is originally used for recuperation and rest."
"Rest and recuperate?"
"Yes." Li Yuebai said, "The Kunlun monks have been practicing formations for days and are already exhausted. Moreover, the formations I arranged before were mostly fierce killing formations. They are effective in killing enemies, but they consume a lot of physical strength. Practicing all the way is really tiring."
"If you feel sorry for the monks, just stop training them." Yu Tianji joked.
"Absolutely not. If we can't practice the formation every day, it will be difficult for the people of Kunlun to gather their hearts and minds, and they will easily become a pile of scattered sand." Li Yuebai said: "The formation still needs to be practiced every day."
"I see. This butterfly-catching formation is a formation that can be practiced without getting rusty, and it doesn't consume too much mental and physical energy." Yu Tianji smiled and said, "I'm afraid that the cultivators have become accustomed to this and have forgotten the previous fierce killing formations."
"The two formations are very different and won't be confused." Li Yuebai said, "Don't worry."
The new formation was quickly deployed.
The Kunlun monks naturally accepted the new formation and practiced it every day - everyone knew that Yu Tianliu had very few people around him, and it would be impossible for him to fight back without several years of preparation. There was no need to worry too much, and it would not be a big deal to rest for a while now.
At the same time, Li Yuebai's feeling of uneasiness became more and more serious.
Late at night, copper lamps were dimly lit in the Auspicious Hall, emitting a dim light.
The light is warm and soft, making people feel happy and having a strange sense of nostalgia, as if the light is the materialization of memories.
"Recently, I have often thought about what to do if I fail this time..." Li Yuebai sat in front of the desk, picked up the lamp wick, and said.
"Aren't you the one who wants to win the most?" Yu Tianji raised his head from his knees in surprise: "Failure? It's impossible. How could you fail?"
"It's useless to ask you." Li Yuebai said with a wry smile.
Yu Tianji is a hopeless boaster of Li Yuebai. No matter what Li Yuebai does, he will just praise and flatter him and order his subordinates to praise and flatter him as well.
This behavior is very different from that of his previous partner Ye Qing.
However, no matter how unreliable Yu Tianji appears to be, he is always a great teammate at critical moments.
This is exactly the same as Ye Qing.
With the light of the oil lamp, Li Yuebai couldn't help but look down at Yu Tianji's face.
He looks nothing like Ye Qing, but somehow there’s a strange sense of déjà vu about him.
After all is said and done, is this child really not Ye Qing?
The word "goodbye" that Ye Qing left at the end of his previous life, does that mean we will never see each other again?
Li Yuebai was still worried and wanted to find out the truth no matter what, so he reached out to the table and found an old talisman paper from a wooden box.
He had shown this talisman to Yu Tianji before.
There were two English words written on the talisman: jokervila. This was the secret code agreed upon by him and Ye Qing in his previous life. When Ye Qing traveled through time again, he might lose most of his memories of his previous life, but he would definitely remember these two words.
"What?" Yu Tianji raised his eyebrow and snatched the talisman paper again: "Tsk, didn't the beauty show this talisman paper to me before? What's so special about it?"
"..." Li Yuebai held it in for a long time, and finally decided to explain it more clearly.
Last time, he showed the talisman paper to Yu Tianji, but he did not point out the words in detail.
"It's like this. There are two words written on this talisman paper, two foreign languages." Li Yuebai spoke carefully, pointed his finger at the two words, and carefully outlined the strokes: "One is pronounced...Joke, and the other is pronounced...Vera."
Yu Tianji narrowed his eyes and stared at his fingers, almost infatuated.
The fingers of this body are slender, and when they outline the two words, the movements are a bit floating, which is really beautiful.
But Yu Tianji still showed no sign of remembering anything. After Li Yuebai finished the last stroke, his fingers were shaking.
"It's really interesting..." Yu Tianji just said in amazement: "I didn't expect that there are such strange characters in the world..."
"You really can't remember anything at all?" Li Yuebai sighed and patted his forehead.
"Ouch, it hurts." Yu Tianji pretended to cry out in pain: "My beauty, why do you ask me this again and again? Should I recognize it? Please don't embarrass me, a naughty and uneducated scoundrel..."
"These two characters are more than just characters. They are also a token of my friendship with my best friend from my last life." Li Yuebai sighed, "My best friend and I promised that no matter which life we end up in, we can recognize each other with these two characters."
When Yu Tianji heard this, he suddenly turned over, sat up, and stared at Li Yuebai blankly.
"I always thought you were him, I didn't want to..."
"Who is he?" Yu Tianji interrupted, "Who?"
Li Yuebai was shocked.
He had never seen Yu Tianji like this before.
Yu Tianji always had a lazy, romantic and dissolute look, as if he had no bones at all. He always had a smile on his face, and he had never been like this... with such a cold and stern look on his face.
"He's a friend of mine..." Li Yuebai said.
"What friend?" Yu Tianji stepped forward coldly and placed her hands on Li Yuebai's shoulders. Her fingers were cold and tightly gripped his shoulder bones: "Why do you look so…" when you talk about him?
Li Yuebai's gaze at that moment was as warm as the candlelight in the temple.
"..." Li Yuebai was stunned and didn't know how to answer.
"Then I'll tell you clearly." Yu Tianji's voice became colder and colder: "I have never seen those two foreign characters. The friend you are talking about is not me."
Li Yuebai only felt an unbearable pain in his shoulder, followed by a dizziness and a loud noise. He was unexpectedly pushed down by Yu Tianji. The back of his head hit the jade cooling mat, and he felt cold.
"Yu Tianji..." Li Yuebai wanted to dodge, but found that he was firmly suppressed and could not escape for a while.
Normally, Yu Tianji wouldn't have such great strength, nor would he have the heart to do this.
A wave of panic surged into my heart - Yu Tianji was different from usual, what happened?
I had guessed long ago that Yu Tianji couldn't be as weak as he appeared, but his current appearance was too scary.
"Open your eyes and look at me." Yu Tianji came closer and laughed softly, then stretched out a hand and grabbed Li Yuebai's neck: "I am the one who stays with you in this life, why are you always thinking about others?"
Dark... Darkening? Standard darkening?
Li Yuebai's head suddenly exploded.
It's true that Yu Tianji's hobby is to tease me, but... isn't that just ordinary teasing? It's not like he really has any improper thoughts about me...
"Are you disappointed knowing that I'm not him?" Yu Tianji's eyes were now colder than Han Shuang's: "Master Mu, what am I in your eyes? A tool? A substitute?"
Li Yuebai wanted to deny it, but his throat was blocked and he couldn't speak.
It is true that I think of Ye Qing from time to time, but it is impossible to say that I have no feelings for Yu Tianji.
But can we answer that both of you are important?
"What are you talking about, best friend?" Yu Tianji suddenly laughed softly, the sound echoing in the empty Jixiang Palace, a little scary: "Are you stupid or is he stupid?"
Li Yuebai opened his eyes wide, and saw that his vision was blocked by Yu Tianji's scattered long hair. The crisscrossing darkness made it even more depressing.
"Fortunately, I am still awake." Yu Tianji's laughter became sweet: "Since that person didn't do what he should do, I can take the lead and do something that I shouldn't do."
He lightly stroked the cloth with his fingers, and the cloth tore.
