After hearing Qian Renxue's words, Jun Yi's eyes showed a hint of melancholy. He longed to be as carefree as before, but now he had no one to rely on. In the past two years, he had lost too much. The Op-Op Fruit disappeared because of the Eternal Life and Perennial Youth Operation, and the System collapsed because of his choice. And the one who caused all these consequences was the person he trusted most.
Jun Yi is currently in a state of utter despair and despair. If it weren't for the person he cared about, he might have chosen to die in the Mist Grand Canyon back then.
Jun Yi sighed softly and walked out of the Education Commission office. When Jun Yi reached the street on campus, he was surrounded by a group of female students again.
"Senior Jun Yi, could you please sign your autograph?"
"Senior Jun Yi, can you guide our cultivation? I want to become as strong as you!"
" Jun Yi, do you have a girlfriend?"
"Excuse me, you're blocking my way."
Jun Yi's cold voice rang out, but it did not dampen the girls' enthusiasm. On the contrary, it made them even more excited. Several of them even took Jun Yi's arm and rested their heads on his shoulder.
"Excuse me, could you please move aside?"
Jun Yi said in a deep voice. At this moment, he exuded a faint chill, which made the girls around him shiver.
Feeling the cool temperature emanating from Jun Yi's body, the girls finally gave up and obediently stood aside, watching Jun Yi leave. However, their gazes towards Jun Yi were filled with admiration; this was the image of a cold genius in their minds.
When Jun Yi arrived at the dormitory entrance, a familiar figure appeared in Jun Yi eyes. The figure rushed to Jun Yi's side and hugged him tightly.
Feeling the warm embrace, Jun Yi gently hugged the girl in his arms, patted her back, and a familiar fragrance wafted over.
"I'm sorry, Sister Yanyan."
"Don't speak."
Jun Yi felt the intense sadness emanating from Dugu Yan. Her eyes reddened, and tears streamed down her cheeks. She tightly wrapped her arms around Jun Yi's Jun Yi, trying to feel the warmth of his embrace.
Jun Yi didn't speak, letting her hold him. After a long while, Dugu Yan seemed to have calmed down a bit and asked softly, "Where have you been all these years? Why haven't I heard a single word from you?"
" Sister Yanyan, I'm sorry..."
"No need to apologize to me, it's good that you're alright," Dugu Yan replied slowly.
Afterwards, Jun Yi and Dugu Yan returned to the dormitory building together. Before that, Jun Yi waved to Dugu Bo, who was standing on the clouds in the sky, and greeted him.
Dugu Bo nodded and smiled at him. After the two returned to their dormitory hand in hand, Dugu Bo's gaze became incredibly deep, and a faint smile appeared on his lips. Then he flew away from the Heaven Dou Royal Academy.
Back in the dormitory, the two sat together on the sofa. On the way back, Dugu Yan clearly sensed that Jun Yi was acting strangely. How could someone as talkative and lively as him suddenly become so quiet and silent? Coupled with the fact that Jun Yi Jun Yi had suddenly stopped writing letters, she realized that something major must have happened to him recently.
The two looked at each other for a long while, and then Dugu Yan said softly, "Can you tell me what you've been through these past two years?"
Upon hearing this, Jun Yi remained silent for a long time before finally uttering a few words: "Being chased."
"Who is he? Why is he chasing you?"
Dugu Yan was extremely surprised. What kind of person could be chasing Jun Yi? He had heard his grandfather mention that Jun Yi had first-rate escape skills. When he first met Jun Yi, Jun Yi easily dodged his attacks several times. Could the Soul Master chasing Jun Yi this time also be Titled Douluo?
Jun Yi, his voice tinged with sadness, said to Dugu Yan, " Sister Yanyan, can I handle this myself?"
Jun Yi like this, Dugu Yan Jun Yi him again and gently nodded to comfort him, "Yes, I won't ask anymore. I just hope that when you encounter problems you can't solve, don't force yourself. You still have me by your side."
Jun Yi nodded slightly, then closed his eyes, hugged Dugu Yan tightly, and said to her, " Sister Yanyan, I'm a little sleepy."
"Sleep now, I'll watch over you."
"Um."
Dugu Yan could clearly feel Jun Yi's breathing and found that he had quickly fallen asleep and was sleeping very soundly, but his brows were still furrowed, which worried Dugu Yan greatly. She laid him down on the sofa and used her legs as a pillow for Jun Yi to lie on.
Looking at the soundly sleeping Jun Yi, Dugu Yan gently stroked Jun Yi's handsome face. Just as her gaze fell on Jun Yi's neck, she noticed a small, thin scar on his neck that extended downwards from his neck.
"This..."
Dugu Yan was a little puzzled, so she gently unbuttoned Jun Yi's upper garment and quickly saw that the small, long wound extended directly to Jun Yi's right waist.
Upon seeing the wound, Dugu Yan was stunned for a moment, because she discovered that although the wound was extremely small, it contained a terrifying energy fluctuation. She could clearly sense that the original owner of this wound was definitely an extremely powerful Titled Douluo.
She also knew that this wound must have been caused by the people who had been chasing Jun Yi more than a year ago.
"No wonder you were unwilling to tell me about this; it turns out the people chasing you are incredibly powerful."
Dugu Yan put Jun Yi's shirt back on, then looked at him quietly and said, "No matter how strong your pursuers are, I will not be afraid. I will always be by your side."
The next day, as the morning light streamed into the room through the window, Dugu Yan slowly opened her eyes. She didn't know when she had fallen asleep. When she woke up, she found herself in Jun Yi's bedroom, on his bed, while Jun Yi sat cross-legged beside her, cultivating.
Before Dugu Yan could make any other move, Jun Yi, who was standing beside her, opened his eyes, stopped meditating, and said to her:
" Sister Yanyan, you're awake! Are you hungry? Want to go get something to eat together?"
Dugu Yan looked at Jun Yi and noticed that he was smiling. Although he didn't look particularly cheerful, Jun Yi looked somewhat like he did yesterday.
"Okay."
" Sister Yanyan, come with me!"
Dugu Yan had just stretched when Jun Yi's expression suddenly changed. He shouted, grabbed her hand tightly, and they ran out of the bedroom, heading towards the dormitory building. Dugu Yan looked at Jun Yi in confusion, wondering why he was taking her there...
