Facing Zhao Fuyi, Li Jiuchuan was no longer the person who just retreated. He stood upright with his hands behind his hands calmly and met Zhao Fuyi's gaze.
"Senior Sister Zhao, do you want to discuss the events of the past with me?"
Their eyes met in mid-air, and they brushed their clothes and retreated.
Li Jiuchuan nodded to the people around him and raised his hand to set up a barrier to separate him and Zhao Fuyi. Outsiders only saw the two of them but did not hear them.
Ling Guanghan stepped away, and True Lord Canghuo rushed to Wen Miao's side, asking repeatedly, "What happened? Did I miss the excitement? Oh, why couldn't you let me out first? I missed this event in vain." Good show."
Wen Miao was lazy and waved her hand away, "Go, go, you will be there everywhere. It's not too big of a deal to watch the excitement all day long. Just ask others to go."
True Lord Canghuo pulled Lu Yinghuai aside again, "Quick, tell me what's going on. Isn't Li Jiuchuan useless? Why did he suddenly give birth to a baby again? Why did he slap Zhao Fuyi in the face in public today..."
Shi Zhongshan rose up with his sword from the foot of Tiangang Peak, came to Wen Miao's side and sighed: "True Lord Jiuchuan is indeed superior in skills. He and I also want to break the formation with strength, but he is one step ahead of me."
No one responded. Everyone craned their necks and tilted their ears, wondering what Li Jiuchuan and Zhao Fuyi were talking about.
Yun Shang stood beside Jiang Yuebai and murmured: "They are like the kind of resentful couple that you looked down on me in the past, but today I am the center of attention and you are so angry..."
As soon as he finished speaking, several glances came towards him. Yun Shang trembled in fright and hurriedly hid behind Jiang Yue.
Jiang Yuebai was also shocked, "What nonsense are you talking about? How could my master like Zhenjun Fuyi? Are you spending all your time at home doing nothing but cultivating spiritual beasts?"
Yun Shang smiled sheepishly, "I didn't read much, just a little bit... just a little bit..."
Jiang Yuebai frowned and looked at the two people in the sky. She didn't know if it was due to Yun Shang's influence, but she actually saw some... lingering feelings for Zhenjun Fuyi in Li Jiuchuan.
behind the barrier.
Zhao Fuyi looked around and sneered, "Why are we separated? Is there anything I can't tell everyone?"
Li Jiuchuan didn't answer, just recalled the past.
"I still remember the scene on Minghai Wentian Island that day. The ghost clan was unstoppable and the human race's defense line completely collapsed. Everyone was running for their lives and evacuating. Only you said that you would stay and protect the common people. Close and wait for reinforcements."
Li Jiuchuan looked at Zhao Fuyi, "That day, you were like the light of the sky tearing through the darkness, standing alone and shining brightly. Under you, everyone was a cowardless person. Only you had the courage to sacrifice your life to save the world. At that moment, my heart moved fiercely for you."
Zhao Fuyi looked at Li Jiuchuan in surprise. Although there had been rumors in the clan that Li Jiuchuan loved her over the years, she had never taken it seriously.
Li Jiuchuan laughed at himself, "So I stayed to help you voluntarily. To this day, I have never regretted it."
Zhao Fuyi's lips moved, but he couldn't speak.
She also remembered that day when she was running around Wentian Island alone. She was also nervous and scared, but she knew she could not retreat.
She was just in the middle stage of Yuanying at that time, and she risked her life to build a large formation that could only be controlled at the peak of Yuanying. She thought she could give it a try, but she was overconfident. A wave of ghosts came. Within half an hour, the formation was destroyed by water vapor. Excessive prosperity is difficult to balance and is on the verge of collapse.
"Zhenjun Fuyi, Jiuchuan is here to help you!"
That sound was like the sound of nature, and she would never forget it to this day. In the fierce wind where hundreds of ghosts were howling and roaring, Li Jiuchuan especially had a boyish unruliness and wildness, and his smile was so beautiful.
Li Jiuchuan's natal magic weapon is special and can quickly transform the five elements. It is precisely because of him that she can balance the excessive water element breath on the sea and stabilize the formation.
It was precisely because of him that they could last for three days, but he was only in the late stage of the Golden Core.
"Li Jiuchuan, you can't hold on. You go first and I'll hold on for a while."
"It doesn't matter, just hold on to the formation, I... can still..."
"Do you want your life? Leave quickly!"
"I...um!"
"Li Jiuchuan!
Zhao Fuyi closed his eyes and frowned, holding back tears.
Li Jiuchuan looked at the distant mountains and said softly: "I have never blamed anyone for the broken magic weapon. After all, it was my own choice. It is also my fault that you have been angered by the Supreme Elder all these years, and I, still I owe you a thank you.”
Li Jiuchuan's gaze retracted and fell on Zhao Fuyi's suppressed emotion.
When his life magic weapon was shattered and his life was about to end, it was Zhao Fuyi who sacrificed half of his cultivation to keep him alive. As a result, she fell to the early stage of Nascent Soul, and almost lost her Nascent Soul.
Therefore, no matter what others say over the years, he has endured it, made his own choices, and endured it himself.
Thinking of this, Li Jiuchuan calmly handed over his hand.
"Jiuchuan, thank you, Senior Sister Zhao, for risking your life to save us!"
Zhao Fuyi turned around and burst into tears, not wanting people around her to see such a fragile side of her.
Li Jiuchuan straightened up, and the emotions in his eyes gradually subsided, "As you said, the previous grudges are over, and you and I can discuss the future."
Li Jiuchuan asked slowly: "May I ask Senior Sister Zhao, after the ghost tide, why is it spread all over the world that you are the only one guarding the gate, without any contribution from me, Li Jiuchuan? You have become the first mage in the spirit world, but I have become an unknown waste. Waiting to die?"
Zhao Fuyi trembled and clenched his fists to explain, "I told them, I told everyone in the alliance that without your help, I would not be able to successfully defend the gate. I explained, but they didn't listen."
"Ha~" Li Jiuchuan sneered, "They didn't listen, so you can't explain anymore and keep explaining until they listen?"
Zhao Fuyi didn't dare to look back, he just bit his lip and clenched his fist tightly.
Li Jiuchuan smiled bitterly, with an imperceptible vulnerability flashing in his eyes.
"In these years, I have been wronged a lot, but I dare not fight for the reputation I deserve. It's because I keep telling myself, you have explained it, but they don't listen or believe it! I keep telling myself, it's not you My fault is that under this heaven, all living beings only recognize the strong and will not care about a loser who has cut off his path to immortality!"
"I told myself that you are here to protect the common people, and I help you willingly. Compared with the common people, I only care about a false reputation. I will resent you because of this false reputation. I am not as good as you. A person with a dirty mind like me is not worthy of admiring you."
Zhao Fuyi burst into tears, biting his lips and crying silently, leaving only his cold back to Li Jiuchuan and to everyone.
Li Jiuchuan took a deep breath to calm down, "I have been tortured by this inner demon for many years. I have smoothed my pride, my self-esteem, and my heartbeat for you. After that, I gradually opened my eyes. Love and desire can see heaven and earth.”
"Zhao Fuyi, with all due respect, what you protected that day were not all living beings in the world, but all living beings using your name as a strong man to protect the common people? You cannot afford it and you don't deserve it!"
"I don't!"
Zhao Fuyi turned around angrily, with tears on his face and hard eyes.
Li Jiuchuan looked at her steadily and asked unhurriedly: "No, that time in Yinfengjian, you clearly had the strength to spare, why did you only protect Lu Nanzhi, but never saw Jiang Yuebai who was almost dying not far away from her? ?”
Zhao Fuyi's eyes widened and he staggered back. Only then did he finally remember why Jiang Yuebai looked familiar. It turned out to be...
Li Jiuchuan saw her reaction in his eyes, "Look at the earth, you can only see the giant Cangfeng trees, but not the gravel seedlings. Look at the sky, you can only see the white cranes and swans, but not the young eagles or young birds. But you don't know that the Cangfeng peak rises from the stone, and the seedlings are not there." It can grow into a tree, and the white crane and the swan also have their youth.”
"You only have eyes for yourself and don't see all living beings. You only cherish your own wings and never protect others from the wind and rain. You yourself have been caught in the rain, but you want to lift someone else's umbrella. You are not worthy of being a teacher. !”
"The grudges of the past are all gone today. I will never mention them again in the future. I will leave them here so that I can take care of myself."
Zhao Fuyi felt as if he had been struck by thunder, and was in a state of despair. He could not regain his senses for a moment, so he could only shake his head and murmur.
Li Jiuchuan stopped looking at her, and the years of depression in his heart dissipated with the wind. He waved his hand to remove the barrier and faced the people of Tianyan Sect behind him.
"Today, because of Jiuchuan, I have disturbed all of my fellow disciples. Jiuchuan would like to apologize. Don't be surprised, fellow disciples. Today, Jiuchuan has Jiang Yuebai as his disciple. I am very happy. I also hope that all of you will take more care of my beloved disciples in the future." The baby-conceiving ceremony and the apprenticeship ceremony will be held on the same day. I would like to ask all of you to show your face and witness. I would be very grateful to Jiuchuan."
Li Jiuchuan bowed, and after standing up, his eyes fell on Jiang Yuebai's face, whose eyes were bright due to excitement, and he raised a smile.
Little girl, this is all the master can do for you. From now on, it’s all up to you!
