Although Ji Wuchen knew in his heart that with Ye Ying's powerful martial arts skills, it was unlikely that any unexpected situation would occur.
However, deep down, there was always a trace of worry and fear—afraid of the possibility that "what if" might happen.
What if?
After all, the world is full of unpredictable changes and countless unknowns and variables. No one can say for sure that they will be 100% safe and sound.
If an unexpected accident were to occur, how should we face and resolve it?
Whenever he thought of this, his worries grew heavier.
My thoughts, like a wild horse, drifted uncontrollably towards the distant past—
That painful memory, buried deep in my heart for centuries, that I've never wanted to talk about...
It makes one very curious about what exactly they went through back then.
What made Ji Wuchen still feel lingering fear and unable to let go even today?
Ji Wuchen's once clear and bright eyes now became unfathomable, as if he were lost in endless memories and contemplation.
After successfully defeating the monster, Ye Ying and Xiao Bai bid a reluctant farewell to everyone.
Then, her gaze inadvertently fell on Ji Wuchen, who stood motionless not far away, like a statue.
Ye Ying felt a strange sensation welling up inside her, secretly wondering if her tone when speaking to him had been too harsh, perhaps hurting the seemingly "fragile" Teacher Ji.
So she exchanged a glance with the little white fox Tianyao beside her, and then strode towards Ji Wuchen with her domineering and undisguised personality.
Approaching Ji Wuchen's side, Ye Ying gently patted his shoulder and asked with concern, "Teacher Ji, what's wrong? Did I say something too harsh and offend you?"
Ji Wuchen was startled from his reverie, turned to look at Ye Ying, shook his head slightly and said, "It's nothing, it's just that the scenery brought back some old memories."
Ye Ying became even more curious and pressed on, "Oh? What is it that's bothering you so much? Why don't you tell me?"
Ji Wuchen remained silent for a long time before finally opening his lips slowly, his voice low and filled with emotion: "Long ago, I experienced a terrifying and earth-shattering disaster, a disaster that caused me to lose many invaluable things. Since then, I have often been plagued by anxiety, afraid of missing out again on those who are so important to my life."
Upon hearing this, Ye Ying felt a pang of sorrow and pity.
She gently patted Ji Wuchen's shoulder and softly comforted him, "Teacher Ji, please don't worry. Let bygones be bygones; we should face the future positively. Besides, I firmly believe that with your wisdom and ability, you will never lose someone important in your life so easily again."
Ji Wuchen gazed at Ye Ying, a warm light flashing in his eyes, then nodded slightly in agreement.
However, just as they were talking, the little white fox Tianyao suddenly rushed over and interrupted their conversation.
It called out nervously, "Master, something seems wrong up ahead!" As it spoke, it pricked up its ears, appearing exceptionally alert.
Ye Ying and Ji Wuchen instantly became alert and followed the little white fox Tianyao forward without hesitation.
The further they went, the stronger the mysterious aura became, as if foreshadowing some potential danger lurking ahead...
