”Regardless of whether it is your original intention or not, you still hurt Xue Ji, right? I helped you because I wanted to help her. ” Limitless Palace Master laughed bitterly. If he was not qualified to be by Xue Ji's side, then he would help the person who was most qualified to be by Xue Ji's side, namely Yin Huaqing.

”Many thanks. However, without your help, I can still take back the Demon King's seat.” Yin Huaqing said indifferently.

”Is that so? Then I'll wait and see.” Limitless Palace Master smiled slightly.

Yin Huaqing did not bother with the Limitless Palace Master anymore. Right now, he only wanted to look for Shui Qinan and explain everything that had happened that year to his and resolve the misunderstanding. He did not need to hide behind his back and silently protect Shui Qinan and he wanted to stand by her side and charge forward together with her.

”Nan Nan, I'm here.” Yin Huaqing said softly, with a wave of his sleeve he arrived at the Nangong Academy. As Yin Huaqing slowly walked inside the Nangong Academy, he had sensed it the moment Yin Huaqing had once again entered the Nangong Academy, but he did not step forward to stop Yin Huaqing.

Yin Huaqing looked at the familiar figure in front of him, suppressed the agitation in his heart, and softly called out.

Shui Qinan suddenly saw Yin Huaqing and his line of sight froze. Yin Huaqing was dressed in a long black robe with dark red brocade decorations at the sides. With his loose sleeves, Yin Huaqing combed his hair, and a few strands of hair flowing in front of his forehead, Shui Qinan could feel that his cultivation had indeed returned back to when she was a Goblin King, or even higher.

Yin Huaqing's figure proudly stood in place, looking at Xue Ji who stood in front of him with eyes that carried shame, and a flash of sadness passed through Shui Qinan's eyes, causing him to feel heartache, as to how he had hurt her heart when he sealed her memories. The more Yin Huaqing thought about it, the more upset he felt. He looked at her foolishly and couldn't help but take a step forward.

Shui Qinan naturally saw Yin Huaqing's actions, and also saw the regret in his eyes. Shui Qinan did not want to look, nor did she want to care about it. Seeing her obvious rejection, Yin Huaqing woke up from his reminiscing. Looking at Shui Qinan's trembling hands and frowning brows, she was extremely agitated in her heart.

”Xue Ji,” Yin Huaqing called out to her sorrowfully. When Shui Qinan heard Yin Huaqing's voice, her heart involuntarily jumped. She laughed bitterly in her heart, after all these years, she could be ruthless to anyone, but only this man in front of her could not be ruthless!

Yin Huaqing suddenly felt pain coming from his body, and he shouted out her name in shock, ”Xue Ji, I … ”At this time, Shui Qinan suddenly turned his body, and extended her hand out, releasing a burst of Spirit Qi to stop him from speaking. Yin Huaqing had felt it when she was releasing her spirit energy, but he did not try to stop her. Looking at her instantly revealing the pain in his heart, Yin Huaqing felt as if he was stabbed by a sharp sword, if he could make her feel better, he would not stop her, he had already owed her four thousand years!

Shui Qinan just stood there watching him without any complaints or regret, waiting for her to attack. All of the beautiful memories she had of him flashed through her mind, but her heart softened.

Seeing the two streams of spirit energy striking out such a magnificent light in front of Yin Huaqing, Yin Huaqing's charm and elegance, as well as his extraordinary spirit was imprinted into Shui Qinan's eyes. When Shui Qinan saw his originally dull gray eyes in that instant, it was unknown if it was because of the light, or because she had made a move, that Shui Qinan's eyes instantly lit up. She looked at her in high spirits, sighed in her heart, and slowly closed her eyes as she turned to leave.

When Yin Huaqing saw her dead grey expression, it was as if his heart had fallen into hell. He wanted to step out and stop her, but his feet felt like lead and he was unable to move a single step. Yin Huaqing watched as she left him, little by little. Looking at her leaving figure, Yin Huaqing suddenly felt as if he had returned to that day four thousand years ago when Xue Ji had watched his leaving figure in such despair and pain.
