Chapter 96 Go back
At this moment, the wanderer felt dizzy and disoriented, as if something that belonged to him had been taken away, and he was quite unhappy.
Already in a state of turmoil due to Mo Wunian's condition, and having finally resolved the issue of the creature within her own voice trace, she received this message. Without even having time to explain, she rushed over...
Who knew that when he arrived, he would see Ji Yan and that person embracing like an old married couple, which immediately broke his composure—
Wasn't he the one who arrived first?
"Oh...it's Chao Ge..."
"Long time no see, long time no see..."
"We didn't do anything...it was normal...uh...we hugged."
"Yes! A normal hug between brothers!"
His body jolted, and he hurriedly raised his head. Although he didn't understand why he felt like he'd been caught in the act, the dangerous glint in the man's eyes sent chills down his spine, and he felt a cold sweat break out.
This was the first time he had felt the pressure from His Majesty. After all, that person usually let him do as he pleased and had never shown such an expression before, but this time it seemed...
The situation doesn't look good.
He quickly pushed Ji Yan away a little, even using some force to barely break free, straightened his clothes, and hurriedly spoke.
"Um... I really didn't do anything..."
"Ji Yan just arrived... um..."
"So, if I had arrived any later... things wouldn't be like this now?"
''no……''
Why am I increasingly feeling like I've been caught cheating by my own possessive black cat?!
But he was telling the truth! They really didn't do anything?! If it were someone else, then...
Forget it, let's not talk about that guy.
Just as someone was pondering how to deal with the wanderer who seemed to be on the verge of turning to the dark side, an even bigger mess occurred—
Ji Yan pushed him back directly! Then he almost hugged him into his arms.
''...x3''
Although the other person didn't speak, he could sense that they were trying very hard to hold back. There was a palpable tension in the air, as if anything, no matter who spoke, would explode.
My silly student! What are you doing?! Can't you see His Majesty is about to explode?!
Going up against the protagonist never ends well, you know! How come you haven't improved at all since you faced General Geshu?!
"...Ji Yan, you should go first."
"I... also happen to have something to talk to Chao about."
"Besides, I'm not in any major problems now, and nothing will happen with him around."
He broke free from Ji Yan's embrace for the second time, took a few steps back, and stood in the middle. Seeing that the other party still wasn't going to make a move, he was almost in tears.
"...Then I'll go out first."
"If anything happens, just call me."
In the end, Ji Yan gave in. A hint of reluctance and a complex mix of emotions flashed in his eyes as he walked towards the door, turning back several times before finally closing it.
Of course, these emotions went unnoticed by the person who was nearly scared to death. He lowered his head, confirming that he could only sense the frequencies of the two of them, before finally letting out a sigh of relief.
Then, looking up, he saw the wanderer already standing in front of him.
"Mo Wunian, I need an explanation."
"You need to clarify your relationship with Ji Yan."
''as well as……''
I will never leave you alone again.
At this moment, the wanderer calmed down a bit after seeing that the other person had chosen him. Looking at the pitiful person staring at him, seemingly wanting to explain, he ultimately couldn't bring himself to say anything harsh.
In contrast, all that came to his mind was the figure of Ji Yan, so weak it almost vanished before his eyes as they charged out together.
God knows how panicked he was at that moment. He felt his heart suddenly stop beating, and the pain was unbearable. He felt like he had seen that scene somewhere before...
However, that person still seemed to be leaning against him.
But those eyes, which usually held a smile, gazed at him with an almost desperate plea:
I never want to see you again.
Let me die—
''……''
Unable to hold back, she slowly closed her eyes, her brows furrowed, her left hand weakly supporting her forehead, shaking her head repeatedly. This scene was naturally witnessed by someone whose heart was already filled with unease.
Mo Wunian panicked upon seeing Chao's state, rushing forward to grab his hand and anxiously asking...
"Trendy! What's wrong?"
"...I...I'll tell you!"
"I've actually known Ji Yan for ten years... and we've known each other for six years..."
"And then...and then...that's it."
''……''
Seeing that the other person's brows remained furrowed without any sign of easing, the person's hand trembled slightly. Finally, they gritted their teeth and continued speaking.
"It's all true! I was only his teacher for six years!"
"And when I met you, I really didn't know I had this past; I only remembered it recently..."
"I swear!"
With his eyes closed and his hand on the other person's shoulder, he swore a string of oaths. Mo Wunian was truly on the verge of tears: He really wasn't lying! Why was His Majesty still angry for so long?!
Can't someone really teach him how to comfort others?!
"I believe you."
He was gently patted on the head, and slowly opened his eyes, raising his head to meet those golden pupils. The oppressive aura in that gaze vanished instantly, returning to his usual familiar demeanor, only with a hint of helplessness between his brows.
Seeing that the other person had recovered, Mo Wunian finally breathed a sigh of relief. Just as he was about to release his grip on the other person's hand, he unexpectedly found that the other person was holding his wrist tightly.
''but……''
"What was your relationship with that former general? What happened before you came to me? Why did you choose to stay by my side...?"
I need to know all of this.
"...Do we really have to say everything?"
"..." (frowning slightly)
"Speak! I'll talk!"
And so, under the Emperor's coercion and enticement, this person revealed most of his wealth, omitting a few truly unspeakable details, and finally recounted the entire story.
"So I really had no other choice at the time... and then I just happened to see you there..."
"So I was thinking, could you take me out of here... that's really all I wanted to do..."
"That's it... there really isn't any other reason..."
Looking pitifully at Chao, who was still deep in thought, he really had nothing left. He really couldn't take any more clothes off; if he did, he wouldn't even have his underwear left.
No, we have to get out of here as soon as possible; staying any longer would be too risky.
Although being by the protagonist's side would mean good treatment... he figured his situation was probably more complicated...
Let's not waste each other's time.
"Um... Chao Ge... there's something I want to say..."
''What?''
"I've troubled you so much along the way... I also have some things I need to find out..."
"Now I don't have to worry about turning into a ghost every now and then..."
"How about we part ways here?"
''? ''
Seeing the wanderer's momentary daze, Mo Wunian thought the other person hadn't heard him clearly, so he emphasized it again.
I said…
"We can break up now—"
''no!!!''
He was pulled directly in front of him, almost falling into the other's arms. He was a little surprised that the wanderer wouldn't let him go, and while he was somewhat puzzled, he didn't say anything.
Without having to worry about frequency, he was almost completely free of constraints, able to leave whenever he wanted.
As for that sword... why not just summon it back? Why worry about all that?
He could accept losing control to that hooded man, but he really didn't believe the Wanderer was so powerful that he could even control his physical body...
"Wait... why can't I sense it anymore?!"
Just as she was about to retract her main body, she suddenly felt a new force trying to seize control. She tried to resist, but it was as if she were being pulled forward by invisible ropes, involuntarily falling into the arms of the person before her.
"You said you'd stay with me until the end... I won't let you leave!"
''……''
He instinctively tried to transform into a phantom and escape, but tragically found that he couldn't. He was completely suppressed, and his frequency was forced to converge.
Holy crap! There's a cheater!
"Chao... um... calm down..."
"I...I...actually..."
You can only stay by my side.
Her wrist was tugged. Looking down, she saw that a golden silk thread had been tied to her left wrist at some point, and the other end was being held by Chao.
"...?"
Wait! Am I being held against my will?! No, Your Majesty, what are you doing? Why use all these strange abilities for this?
And why am I, as the frequency, also bound?
"I said it"
"Don't leave me!"
"I'm not leaving, bro! Please untie this... it's not a good look!"
I tried to struggle, but it was no use. In fact, my resistance only made the ropes tighten. This was truly hilarious.
"No, I simply located your position."
It doesn't usually appear...
"I will only use this if you want to leave me."
For example, right now.
''……''
Looking at the silk threads still binding his hands, he truly felt as if the sky had collapsed. The already crumbling sky had crumbled further, and terrifying images flashed through his mind. He struggled for what felt like the umpteenth time, but this time he was pulled hard and forced to lean against the other person's shoulder.
"Ah... such a chaotic yet familiar frequency..."
"Wanderer, what have you done to deserve this? I don't even dare to eat it..."
"Huh?!!"
Just then, the sound mark on the wanderer's left hand emitted a faint light, and a strangely shaped creature flew out from it, hovering in the air with some confusion to investigate the situation:
Then there is no more
"...Sorry to bother you."
"I'm leaving now."
"Once you're here, don't leave!"
In a panic, it grabbed whatever was trying to escape in mid-air, and taking advantage of the opportunity, finally broke free from the embrace of the drifter.
