"I still remember everything you said." Cen Ji looked at Yan Ying and said word by word.
Yan Ying looked at Cen Ji quietly without saying a word.
"It doesn't matter if you hate me or blame me now." Cen Ji took a step towards Yan Ying, stood in front of her, lowered his head and looked at her with moving eyes. "It's good that you haven't forgotten me..."
"You know what? Every time I hear your voice coming from the sound stone, I really want to give you a reply." Cen Ji looked at Yan Ying with red eyes. Every time he swallowed what he wanted to say and sealed his feelings for her in his heart.
"I haven't had a happy life in the past seven years."
There has never been a moment like this in Cen Ji's life, when he wished he could have a second mouth so that he could tell his little ghost everything he wanted to say.
Now that he saw her, all the suffering he had endured in the past seven years was worth it.
"Although I am the Lord of the Demon Realm, my actions are restricted in every way. I look glorious on the outside, but everything I do is not what I want."
"Seven years ago, someone put a spell on me. He tried to control me through the spell. I was afraid that he would harm you, so I had no choice but to leave Guiyun Sect..."
"Little ghost, I... I didn't mean to leave you..."
He was really scared, afraid that the little ghost would blame him, but he was also afraid that she wouldn't blame him, afraid that she didn't care about him. Her calmness really made him feel uneasy.
"So... the person who has been protecting me behind my back is really you?" Yan Ying had imagined the scene of her reunion with Cen Ji countless times, but she never thought that he would appear in front of her so suddenly.
"It's me." Cen Ji nodded. "I sent someone to secretly protect your safety, but I can only watch you from the dark..."
"Actually, it's not like we haven't seen each other for seven years, because during these seven years, I often came to see you secretly." Cen Ji said in a soft voice.
When he was in front of her, he was no longer the lord of the demonic realm, and he no longer had to worry about his dignity. He was just silent, her silence.
"You..." Yan Ying looked at Cen Ji's slightly red eyes, and it would be a lie to say that she was not moved.
The only complaints in her heart were dispelled by his few words.
She had thought about this possibility, thinking that he had his own reasons for leaving.
If it was really as he said, then for these seven years... he would have been silently guarding her in the dark...
"Little boy, I miss you so much." Cen Ji looked at Yan Ying with gentle eyes.
He had been wanting to say this for too long.
Yan Ying took Qingli back. She hadn't heard his voice for a long time...
It lasted so long that she felt the silence before her was particularly strange.
In these seven years, they really missed a lot...
"Cen Ji..." Yan Ying looked at the man in front of her, not knowing what to say for a moment.
She clearly had thousands of words she wanted to say to him, but now that they were on the tip of her tongue, she didn't know how to start.
"Little boy, I promise you that I will never leave you again." Cen Ji looked at Yan Ying and promised.
"Are you still willing to believe me?"
Yan Ying's heart tightened when she saw Cen Ji's aggrieved expression.
"Wu Bai, is he really..." Yan Ying did not answer Cen Ji's question, but looked at him and asked,
She still didn't want to believe it. It was only a blink of an eye and Wu Bai could disappear from her sight.
She should have kept him. If she had kept him, he would have been fine.
Why did she just let him leave alone...
"I've already caught the man who killed him," Cen Ji nodded and said, "Don't worry, I won't let him off easily."
"When I arrived, it was already impossible to save him. I'm sorry..." Cen Ji explained.
It was indeed his mistake that he failed to save Wu Bai.
Yan Ying's eyes were filled with tears and she lowered her eyes. "Wu Bai is a good person..."
"Why, why would he die? He clearly did nothing wrong..." Yan Ying really couldn't understand. Wu Bai hadn't even caused any trouble, so why would he be killed?
"Is it because of me?" Yan Ying raised her head and looked at Cen Ji, choking with sobs. "That person actually wanted to kill me, right?"
Cen Ji took a step forward and pulled Yan Ying into his arms.
"No." Cen Ji frowned and stroked Yan Ying's hair. "It was because of me. I was careless and let him out of the Demon Realm."
"When Wu Bai left, he asked me to lie to you and tell you that he had left the sect with me."
"He doesn't want to see you sad." Cen Ji never knew that his voice would be so gentle when he comforted people.
"But... he never did anything wrong." Yan Ying's tears couldn't stop flowing, wetting Cen Ji's clothes.
"Yes..." Cen Ji hugged Yan Ying with heartache.
He had waited for this moment for too long. Even though the little ghost was sad for others at the moment, even though he was clearly jealous, he couldn't help but feel sorry for her.
"It's my fault, it's my fault..." Cen Ji said softly and soothingly.
"No...it's not your fault, but Wu Bai died. He was only twenty years old. He died, and he promised me...promised me that he would ascend to the level of Lingji..." Yan Ying's shoulders trembled with sobs.
It's clearly not anyone's fault, but why should Wu Bai bear the consequences?
"I'm sorry." Cen Ji frowned and stroked Yan Ying's head gently. "I'm sorry..."
