"System, nothing's going to go wrong, right? Why do I feel like something's off? What if Tang Hao sweet-talks Ah Yin and deceives her?" Zhao Ming asked as he looked at Ah Yin.
"Ahem, Host, you're really shameless. You're obviously the one who deceived Ah Yin, so why are you pinning it on Tang Hao? Even this system can't stand watching anymore," the system said disdainfully.
"What do you mean I'm pinning it on Tang Hao? Uh, I guess I did put a green hat on him, but that was all your doing. You were the one who deceived Ah Yin. I was only helping you cover up the lie." Zhao Ming looked thoroughly wronged.
"...You actually pinned it on this system. This system disdains associating with you."
"Ahem, enough, enough. Let's not discuss that anymore. I want to ask, Ah Yin won't be persuaded by Tang Hao, will she?" Zhao Ming coughed lightly and asked.
"She won't. If Ah Yin were an ordinary person revived through ordinary means, then through self-analysis and observation, she could easily discover her identity. After all, Ah Yin's Soul Rings and Spirit Bones are on Tang Hao, and there's also Tang San. Ah Yin would quickly believe what Tang Hao said."
"But this Ah Yin was revived by this system. Naturally, she cannot be compared to ordinary people. When this system revived Ah Yin, it implanted two commands in her: loyalty and trust. This gave her absolute loyalty and trust toward the Host."
"To what extent do that loyalty and trust reach? Even if the Host told Ah Yin to die immediately, she would not question it in the slightest. She would die for the Host at once."
Hearing the system's explanation, Zhao Ming's eyes lit up.
That afternoon, the three of them ate a farewell meal together at home. As talented students of Nuoding Academy, Xiao Wu and Zhao Ming possessed a certain degree of freedom in their studies. The academy's management of the two of them was extremely lax. They only needed to undergo Soul Power tests at regular intervals and meet the academy's required Soul Power targets.
"Sister Zhi'er, you're leaving today, right? You've only been here for one day. I don't want you to go," Xiao Wu said sadly.
Ah Yin's Martial Soul was the Blue Silver Emperor, which naturally made all living creatures feel close to her. Coupled with her gentle personality, she had made Xiao Wu like this older sister after only one day.
What was more, in Xiao Wu's mind, she had already regarded Ah Yin as the child bride Zhao Ming's family had raised for him. Naturally, she was not too hostile toward Ah Yin.
"Yes. But I'll be back soon." Ah Yin glanced at Zhao Ming and spoke somewhat despondently. At the same time, her dissatisfaction with the Tang Hao she had never met deepened by several degrees. If not for him, how could she possibly have to leave Young Master?!
After the meal, Zhao Ming had Ah Yin leave. Ah Yin also followed Zhao Ming's instructions and settled down in Nuoding City. Zhao Ming was not foolish enough to have Ah Yin go directly to Holy Soul Village to look for him. Instead, he chose to wait for the rabbit by the tree stump.
After all, Ah Yin had amnesia now. If she went directly to Holy Soul Village, wouldn't that expose everything? Tang Hao would definitely become more vigilant then.
At this moment, Tang Hao was still on his way.
With the tip of his foot lightly touching the ground, his body dashed forward like a phantom. He was so fast that he truly resembled an afterimage.
The vast, inexhaustible Soul Power of a Titled Douluo sustained his consumption. He had maintained this speed for more than three hours, yet he still showed no signs of fatigue.
As he continued rushing forward at high speed, the distance between him and Ah Yin grew shorter and shorter. At the same time, his sense of Ah Yin became stronger and stronger. His heart trembled without cease, making him even more certain that Ah Yin had come back to life.
"Ah Yin, wait for me! I'm coming to find you!" Taking a deep breath, Tang Hao accelerated again. This time, he pushed his speed to the limit, showing no concern for the possibility of exposing his identity.
In his heart, Ah Yin's matters were more important than his own life.
Now that he had news that Ah Yin might be alive, how could he possibly remain calm? Right now, he wished he could release his Martial Soul to travel even faster.
Although he had news of Ah Yin, he still could not be sure of her current condition. If he was not by Ah Yin's side, could she still be in danger?
Moreover, she had experienced sacrifice and lost her Spirit Bone. He did not need to think to know that even if Ah Yin had been revived, she would not be in good condition. Perhaps she was still severely injured, and in the worst case, she might not even be able to use Soul Power.
Under such circumstances, even if Ah Yin had not been discovered by Spirit Hall, she was still in danger. He knew how beautiful Ah Yin was. If some accident happened under these circumstances, he would never be able to forgive himself.
He had already lost Ah Yin once. He absolutely could not allow himself to lose Ah Yin a second time!
"Ah Yin, last time, you stood before me and protected me. Now it's my turn. I'm a Titled Douluo now. This time, stand behind me. I'll bear every danger ahead of us!"
Nuoding City!
After traveling without rest, Tang Hao had finally arrived here. A breeze swept past, and he could even smell Ah Yin's unique scent in the air.
"Ah Yin, it really is you. I wasn't wrong. It has to be you!" Tears welled up in Tang Hao's eyes. For the past six years, he had lived every day in crushing guilt. That guilt had left him unable to breathe.
Now that he knew Ah Yin was still alive, it felt as if the shackles around his heart had been shattered.
Following the pull in his heart, he slowly walked forward. Nervously, he straightened his clothes and used Soul Power to shake the grime from his body.
After passing a crossroads, he finally saw Ah Yin!
At this moment, she was seated on a wooden bench beneath a great tree. She wore an elegant light-purple long dress, her legs crossed, her hands folded atop her lap. She looked graceful and noble.
Her purple-gold gown set off her pure and elegant bearing. Her long azure hair reached her waist and was casually tied with two pale-blue ribbons, while a few wisps of bangs slanted across her forehead, adding a unique touch of beauty.
Her face was soft and pristine, like a Snow Lotus, glowing with the lustrous sheen of warm jade. Her eyes were closed, her long, thick lashes trembling lightly, making her seem pitiable and lovable.
Perhaps afraid that her breathtaking appearance would attract unwanted attention, she wore a white, semi-transparent veil that concealed her peerless features.
The gentle wind swept past, making Ah Yin's long hair flutter. The veil covering her face was lifted by the breeze as well, allowing Tang Hao to see the rest of her hidden features.
Her nose bridge was high and straight, the tip slightly upturned, while her lovely nostrils quivered faintly. The curve of her tender lips was perfect, though their color was slightly pale, as if she had only just recovered from a serious illness, making others want to cherish her.
Her large, curious eyes were gazing around curiously, filled with curiosity about everything.
This was Ah Yin!
This was the feeling of first love!
A gentle smile slowly appeared on Tang Hao's face. His heart, even every cell and organ in his body, seemed to soften.
This sight could not help reminding him of the first time he had met Ah Yin. Back then, she had been just like this—beautiful as an elf.
