On Wen Yuan's twenty-fifth birthday, the whole city was decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations to celebrate her birth, because on the day of her birth, King Dingnan conquered Yunting.
Shen Huaiyan also came back on this day, just as Chi Zhaoyue said.
But what has changed is that Wen Yuan no longer remembers her. Now by her side is Quan, who wears a pure gold mask all day long.
"Master, look at these lanterns, they are so festive, thanks to the emperor." Wen Yuan was wrapped in fur and trotted through the crowd. Quan followed behind with a face full of adoration, protecting her from being hit by the crowd.
Over the years, under Quan's guidance and company, Wen Yuan's relationship with him gradually became closer.
When he was at his most vulnerable, Quan never left even half a step away. He gave medicine and water with the help of others. It was he who pulled Wen Yuan back from the abyss little by little, so Wen Yuan is now very dependent on him.
"See, you came back late." The two of them stood at a high place and looked at the scene below, but Shen Huaiyan never regretted it.
He looked at the lively little person below with nostalgia, and lamented that Quan had taken good care of her over the years, "At least she spent her twenty-five years safely."
"But she has forgotten you for a long time." From the day Wen Yuan drank the water of forgetfulness, Shen Huaiyan had disappeared from her world.
Chi Zhaoyue felt worthless for Shen Huaiyan. It was clear that Shen Huaiyan left to protect Wen Yuan, why was he not understood...
If the situation continues as before, Wen Yuan will definitely die from Tianlei at the age of twenty-five.
Wen Yuan seemed to have seen the two people on the high platform, and turned her eyes. When she met Shen Huaiyan's passionate and sincere eyes, she felt a sudden pain in her heart.
One hand supported Quan on the side, and the other hand covered his heart with a painful expression, "Master..."
"What's wrong? Where do you feel bad?" Quan looked anxious, picked up Wen Yuan and rushed to the princess's mansion.
Shen Huaiyan looked behind them reluctantly for a long time until his figure disappeared into the crowd.
"Stop looking." Chi Zhaoyue patted the man on the shoulder, "She has completely forgotten you, and the current Dingnan Palace will not let you get close to Wen Yuan."
Everything in Prince Dingnan's palace is trivial. Will Quan agree to Shen Huaiyan hurting Wen Yuan again?
Chi Zhaoyue even felt that Quan wished Wen Yuan had forgotten Shen Huaiyan, after all, he was the one who found the Wangqing Water.
For several nights in a row, Shen Huaiyan quietly went to the princess mansion to visit Wen Yuan.
Now she has completely changed, mature and passionate, like a delicate peony that has fully bloomed.
"Master——"
"Master!"
"Master~"
Shen Huaiyan listened and confirmed that there was another important man in her life.
She is looking for the spring all the time, like a child who has lost her mind.
The way she acted like a baby to the spring was even sweeter than when she acted like a baby to herself. She was really happy...
So shouldn't I stop disturbing her? Shen Huaiyan slowly huddled in the corner, holding back his sobs.
In fact, Quan had already discovered Shen Huaiyan hiding in the corner, but he was too lazy to care. Now Wen Yuan has grown up well under his protection, and has lost his immaturity and some unnecessary emotions.
"Ayuan, when the time is right, I will take you to a place."
Wen Yuan calmed down at this time and stopped messing around. Her mature and steady voice was something Shen Huaiyan didn't expect, "Where? The Abyss of Ten Thousand Demons that Master often mentioned?"
"Yes, when you get to that place, you can practice, and under my guidance, you will be better than them all."
By them here, Quan refers to almost everyone and demons in the world, including Shen Huaiyan and the others who have been practicing for thousands of years.
But Wen Yuan only thought that she was better than those who bullied and laughed at her for not being able to practice, so she readily agreed, and even urged Qi Quan, "Then can't we go now?"
"Of course not. You think that everyone can enter the Ten Thousand Demonic Abyss. You still have your mortal bones, so you have to wait a little longer, otherwise you won't be able to get out." He threatened Wen Yuan, frightening those around him. The villain crawled into his arms.
Wen Yuan looked at Quan in horror, "It's too scary, Master, otherwise I wouldn't go."
These words made Quan laugh again and again, "Silly girl, as long as you practice hard with me, you will be able to get in one day." He gently stroked Wen Yuan's head with his warm hands.
Wen Yuan, like a cat, rubbed Quan's hand with enjoyment, "Master's palm is so soft."
If Quan wasn't tall and tall, I'm afraid Wen Yuan's actions would be too abrupt for him.
"Go to bed, be good." He rubbed Wen Yuan's face selfishly, feeling an unnatural feeling in his heart.
After Wen Yuan left, Quan sat alone on the stone bench to calm down. He admitted that he had a different feeling for Wen Yuan.
He could also sense Wen Yuan's growing affection for him, but he couldn't respond to her, but he couldn't stay away from her either...
It's really difficult...
She can only maintain the status quo. After Wen Yuan is ready to go to the Ten Thousand Demonic Abyss, after training, she will think of the past and no longer have a good impression of herself.
"Isn't it too despicable for you to do this?" Chi Zhaoyue appeared out of nowhere. He saw clearly what happened just now.
Quan had discovered the two of them a long time ago, but had no intention of taking action against them, "Why are you so mean?"
"You took advantage of Huaiyan's absence to get close to Ayuan, taking Huaiyan's place beside her, and you said you were not despicable." He lifted up Shen Huaiyan, who was like a puddle of mud.
But Quan thought that he had done nothing wrong, "She asked me for Wangqing Water and drank it herself. I never forced her. I just did what the master should do. I only hope that my apprentice will be well." .”
"So you take advantage of her drinking the water of forgetfulness and take care of her meticulously to make her fall in love with you."
"You are right to say that. No one stipulates that she can only like one man. And compared to him, I am stronger and more qualified to protect A Yuan."
He poked Shen Huaiyan's chest and spoke very clearly, which made Chi Zhaoyue want to punch him.
But after all, the difference in strength was there. Chi Zhaoyue's punch might have been slapped away by him before it hit Quan's body.
"Listen, don't come looking for Yuanyuan in the future. She is very good, but her mind is like a child when facing me. Don't disturb her." After saying that, Quan turned around and disappeared into the night.
Chi Zhaoyue has experienced this all before. Wen Yuan is now very indifferent to everyone, as if he has completely changed. Even towards Chunhua, who was close to him before, he is as cold as an iceberg that cannot be melted.
Chi Zhaoyue wanted to pull Shen Huaiyan away, but the man was like a clay sculpture, and the pestle wouldn't move there. If she couldn't pull him away, Chi Zhaoyue simply didn't bother.
Wen Yuan got up early the next day and was startled when he found Shen Huaiyan motionless.
He looked at the man in front of him who looked like a wooden sculpture, and he couldn't help but feel bored. He poked Shen Huaiyan's shoulder to make sure he was still alive, "Hey, what are you doing here? Can't you find your home?" "
Shen Huaiyan felt hopeful and ignored her and continued to stand silently.
Wen Yuan really felt that he was an eyesore, so he simply asked someone to find a piece of cloth to cover him, "It's much better now. Okay, you all, please step aside. I'm going to start practicing."
She is different now from before. At that time, she was ignorant and confused all day long. Now she just wants to practice and then go to the abyss of ten thousand demons mentioned by her master as soon as possible.
It was obviously the ninth day and the weather was warm, but I was so tired that I was sweating profusely. “Master, I want to eat watermelon!”
If it were anyone else, he would have said that watermelon was nowhere to be found in Jiuhantian, but if it were Quan, he would definitely meet all Wen Yuan's requirements.
Not long after, a plate of cut watermelon was placed in front of Wen Yuan.
Just as he was about to put it in his mouth, the concierge announced, "Princess, the navy lady who came last time is here again."
Oh... well, Wen Yuan just came back from the coast with her father and kept running to her princess's house for no apparent reason. Wen Yuan was almost annoyed to death.
She put down the watermelon in her hand and straightened her dress. When she had no problem, she was asked to invite the woman in.
As soon as he came in, he set his sights on Wen Yuan's watermelon, but it wasn't just for eating. "Hey, princess, why do you still eat watermelon on such a cold day? You're not afraid that your body will be cold and no man will want it."
In the past, Wen Yuan would have had to argue with her, but now she just thinks it's ridiculous to see this kind of person, "I won't bother you."
Wen Yuan's tone was almost heartless, and only then did Shen Huaiyan understand what Chi Zhaoyue said yesterday.
She has indeed changed. How could Wen Yuan have such a tone when talking to others in the past? Even if she was unhappy, she would always speak in a high tone, unlike her lifeless tone now.
Wen Yuan's own strong sense of oppression made the woman a little breathless, but she still sat down and continued to speak calmly: "Oh, my father asked me to come to the Princess Mansion more often, but I think it's okay. It’s necessary, after all, this place is deserted and the princess of the palace rarely comes in or out.”
This was indeed true. Wen Yuan had indeed not been in or out of the palace for a long time.
But it was not that the woman was not expected to be welcomed by the royal family, but that she did not want to go.
In this case, Wen Yuan didn't bother to pay attention at all, and lowered his head to do what he was doing.
The woman chatted here alone for a long time without getting a single response. She found it boring and left quickly.
After she left, Wen Yuan quickly finished the watermelon and ran to Shen Huaiyan again, "I think you are quite determined. Do you know martial arts? Or do you want to be a secret guard by my side?"
Even with the effect of the Forgetting Water, Wen Yuan still couldn't completely get rid of the bond with Shen Huaiyan... Quan was watching from a distance, half sad and half happy in his heart.
Of course Shen Huaiyan agreed to be a secret guard, but how could someone who could stay by Wen Yuan's side all day refuse to agree.
"Thank you Princess for your kindness!" The clumsy look of him kowtowing on the ground with a smile on his face actually made Wen Yuan laugh, and Quan looked on with joy.
These two... are truly a match made in heaven, and even the gods cannot separate them.
"Miss, what is my name?"
"Don't you have a name?"
"Is it usable?"
"Of course." The two of them went back and forth and talked a lot.
Shen Huaiyan thought this was a good opportunity, "Miss, my name is Shen Huaiyan."
