The old man paused and stood there in a daze.
"Master, aren't you in a hurry to pee? Why don't you leave?" Awan asked curiously.
The old man coughed lightly and said, "I was anxious just now, but I'm not in a hurry now. Master, ahem, I'll go with you."
Awan tilted her head in surprise. How could he be anxious at one moment and not anxious at the next?
When everyone saw that it was indeed Awan who had returned, they all came forward excitedly.
Shen Ruoxi and the high priest also stopped casting spells and stepped forward.
Awan subconsciously looked at her mother, first cast a reassuring look at Shen Ruoxi, then walked towards the high priest and the commander, bowing respectfully.
"Awan is back, and the Priest Aunt and the Commander Aunt are worried."
The commander heaved a sigh of relief and patted Awan on the shoulder. "I'm glad you're back. I'm glad you're okay. We were all so worried. But, how did you escape from that mountain?"
Awan pointed to the old man behind her and said, "It was Grand Master who saved me. Grand Master flew on his sword and brought me out of the mountains."
"Grand Master?"
Everyone turned their eyes to the old man, and the corner of his lower lip twitched unnaturally, especially when he met the gaze of the high priest.
"Master, why are you here?" Shen Ruoxi saw that the atmosphere was a little weird, so she stepped forward and helped her master break the deadlock.
The old man secretly gave Shen Ruoxi a thumbs up, and said in a teasing tone: "It's all because of you, little girl. You promised to bring me palace jade liquid and delicious food when you came back, but you disappeared without a trace. Of course, your master has to come to find you."
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard the voice of the high priest: "You still dare to drink?"
The old man waved his hands without thinking: "No, no, I won't drink it again."
The high priest sneered: "No one can trust your future."
Shen Ruoxi was stunned by this scene and couldn’t help but find it funny.
This was the first time she saw her master being cowardly. It seemed that the relationship between her master and the high priest was more interesting than she thought.
The two sentences that the high priest had said to her master just now were like a piece of snow falling into the palm of her hand, disappearing quietly and silently.
At this moment, the high priest was beside Awan, asking her if she was injured, leaving her master alone in the wind.
Shen Ruoxi quietly moved over and called softly, "Master?"
No response.
“Master, is the high priest good-looking?” Shen Ruoxi asked in a low voice.
"Of course it looks good." The old man suddenly woke up after saying this, and quickly turned his eyes away from the high priest and poked his little disciple's head.
"Well, girl, how dare you tease your master!"
Shen Ruoxi chuckled: "Who made you look so lost in thought, Master? Master, what is the relationship between you and the High Priest?"
The old man's cheeks flushed slightly: "Why does a child ask so many questions?"
Shen Ruoxi laughed even harder: “Master, including my past and present lives, guess how old I am this year?”
The old man choked and looked away: "In my heart, you will always be a child."
Hearing these words, Shen Ruoxi was actually a little moved.
But just as she was about to say something else, the old man changed the subject: "Xiao Ruoxi, your master is serious. When I went to look for Awan, I saw Chaos in the center of the earth. That boy looked the same as in his previous life, but also seemed a little different."
Speaking of this matter, Shen Ruoxi also became serious.
"The Chaos you're talking about, is it Ah Chong? His fourteenth birthday is in a day, and I must seal him before tomorrow."
"Did that kid tell you that the fifth day of the twelfth lunar month is his birthday?" the old man asked in surprise.
Shen Ruoxi nodded: "I tried to seal him, but it didn't work. I guess it's because he's not old enough, so he hasn't inherited Chaos's memories and abilities yet."
The old man shook his head. "Xiao Ruoxi, you've been deceived by him. His birthday is the sixth of November. He inherited Hun Dun's memories and abilities a month ago."
Shen Ruoxi opened her mouth: "How, how is this possible?" She didn't notice it at all!
"You said you once cast a sealing spell on him but it didn't work?" the old man asked.
Shen Ruoxi nodded.
"Are you sure you have finished reciting the sealing spell?" the old man asked again.
Shen Ruoxi was stunned.
She did finish reciting the spell, but did not carry out the sealing technique to the last step, because Awan happened to come back at that time, and she did not see any reaction from A Chong, so she withdrew the spell.
"So, in order to conceal his true identity as Chaos, he actually endured the pain of being sealed?"
Shen Ruoxi remembered that the young man had seemed to be in poor spirits those days.
She even asked Awan about this, and Awan said that he had gone astray while practicing. For this reason, Awan stayed to take care of A Chong and did not participate in the Qin family's invasion.
After connecting everything together, Shen Ruoxi felt a chill down her spine.
That is to say, when they first met the boy, no, it should be even earlier, when Awan was seriously injured and met the boy, the boy already had chaotic memories.
So, did he deliberately find Awan and do everything he could to stay with her?
What is his intention in doing this!
Could it be that he already knew that Awan was the daughter of heaven?
"Master, Hun Dun is just like you. He can travel through time and space and inherit memories from different time and space?" Shen Ruoxi suddenly thought of something.
The old man stroked his beard and shook his head: "This Master is not clear either."
Shen Ruoxi was silent for a long time with her eyes drooping.
"Master, can we really stop everything from happening?" Shen Ruoxi's eyes were filled with worry.
The old man patted Shen Ruoxi’s shoulder: “Don’t worry, there is still good news.”
Shen Ruoxi looked at her master.
The old man looked up at the mountains and slowly spoke.
"In my previous life, I watched Awan and Achong become good friends. I also watched them get trapped deep in the mountains by a heavy snowfall. It was also me who cast a requiem spell and went to the center of the earth to save them."
Shen Ruoxi was stunned. It turned out that everything she saw and heard here were things that happened in her previous life.
Sure enough, everything is going according to the original track!
She thought her arrival had changed many things, but it was as if there was an invisible hand quietly revising everything and bringing things back to their original track.
"But in that life, when I went to pick up Awan and left, that kid A Chong insisted that he wasn't Hun Dun, but in this life, he took the initiative to admit it..."
The old man stroked his beard and carefully recalled all the details of today.
I don’t know whether this can become a breakthrough to change the original trajectory.
The master and disciple were racking their brains to think of a solution when they heard the excited voices of the Baiyu people coming from afar.
"Master Priest, Master Commander, something big has happened in the village!"
