"Ah..." The twin girls exclaimed, then said apologetically, "I haven't had time to tell you that Yan'er has been in seclusion."

Mo Wuji's face darkened. What do you mean, "haven't had time"? This is just an excuse. He didn't believe that Granny Linglong had lied to him. Even if he didn't have the chance or time to talk to Yan'er often, Granny Linglong would have told Yan'er the truth.

"Yan'er, I'm Mo Wuji. Do you really not remember me?" Mo Wuji didn't chase after her this time, but shouted loudly.

All eyes focused on Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji had been out for nearly a year, and people didn't know who Yan'er was. But everyone in Wentian Academy knew who Yan'er was.

She was the only mutated five-element spiritual root in Wentian Academy and the fastest cultivator in Wentian Academy. In one year, she crossed the Meridian Opening Realm, opened up not only a hundred spiritual meridians, but also cultivated to the tenth level of the Meridian Opening Realm, and finally succeeded in building her spiritual foundation. At this moment, Yan'er was already a Building Spirit Seventh Level expert. One could imagine that in the near future, Miss Yan'er might be the first of Wentian Academy's new generation to reach the True God Realm.

If it weren't for the matter of extraterritorial cultivators appearing in the Lost Continent, Yan'er would have already become famous throughout the Lost Continent and would be the pride of Wentian Academy.

Even though Wentian Academy was now fighting a major battle with extraterritorial cultivators, Granny Linglong had also sent Shi Jinwen to accompany Yan'er. Shi Jinwen was not only a Sixth Grade Earth Pill Master, but her strength was also well-known throughout Wentian Academy.

"Mo Wuji? Were you the one who sent me to my master and asked her to save me?" Yan'er turned her head and walked back when she heard the name Mo Wuji.

Mo Wuji was overjoyed. He didn't expect that someone had already told Yan'er about this. It was probably Granny Linglong who told her.

"That's right, it's me. Yan'er, don't you remember what happened before?" Mo Wuji quickly said.

Seeing Yan'er taking the initiative to talk to Mo Wuji, Shi Jinwen was unhappy, but she didn't say anything. Yan'er was not only a treasure of the Pill Tower, but also a treasure of Wentian Academy.

Yan'er said softly, "Brother Mo, although I don't remember what happened before, my master told me to remember your kindness. If you hadn't saved me, I might have died already."

Although Mo Wuji heard a strong sense of gratitude in Yan'er's tone, he didn't feel any joy. Yan'er was no longer the Yan'er who clung to him and did everything for him. She finally had her own thoughts and opinions.

Mo Wuji really wanted to continue talking about the affairs of the Northern Qin Kingdom and the Chengyu Lord Kingdom. Granny Linglong didn't know about these things, and he needed to tell Yan'er himself.

But Yan'er's gratitude and independence made Mo Wuji suddenly lose the idea of telling Yan'er these things. Let bygones be bygones. Hadn't he always hoped that Yan'er would have her own opinions and thoughts? Now that Yan'er had them, and not only that, she also had powerful qualifications and a master, he should be happy for her.

"Brother Mo, thank you. I wanted to find you a long time ago, but I've been in seclusion. This time, my master wasn't here, so I pestered my senior sister to take me to the place where the extraterritorial cultivators are fighting for a trial, and that's how I had the chance to meet you..." As she spoke, Yan'er took out a storage bag and handed it to Mo Wuji. "Brother Mo, this is a token of my appreciation. Although I know that compared to your life-saving grace, it's nothing... Please don't dislike these things..."

Mo Wuji subconsciously took the storage bag. In fact, giving away a storage bag was an extremely luxurious thing in itself. What's more, there were things in the storage bag?

"Yan'er, if you want to know your past memories, I can tell you." A sense of loss surged into Mo Wuji's heart, making him not even know why he said what he didn't want to say.

Yan'er shook her head. "Brother Mo, Senior Sister told me that the reason why I cultivate faster than others now is because my heart is clean and clear, without any distractions or miscellaneous thoughts. If I knew a lot of things from the past, maybe I wouldn't have this kind of cultivation speed anymore. But I'm still very grateful to Brother Mo, thank you."

After saying that, Yan'er bowed to Mo Wuji. "Maybe when I have achieved success in my cultivation in the future, I will come back to find Brother Mo and ask you to tell me about the interesting things from the past."

Were they interesting things from the past? Mo Wuji looked up at the still familiar Yan'er and suddenly felt disheartened. The reason why Yan'er could cultivate so quickly, apart from her spiritual root qualifications, was indeed because of her focused mind. No cultivator could be like Yan'er, not being disturbed by external affairs and not having so many messy things in her heart.

"Thank you for your gift, Miss Yan'er. I'll accept it." Mo Wuji put away the storage bag and suddenly smiled. "Actually, there's nothing much from the past. I've forgotten most of it too. Let's leave it at that. If Miss Yan'er has any difficulties in the future, she can still come to me, Mo Wuji. In my heart, I'll always be your big brother."

"Hmph!" Shi Jinwen snorted coldly. "Just an outer disciple, spouting nonsense. Yan'er, let's go."

Yan'er turned back and bowed to Mo Wuji again. "Thank you, Brother Mo. Yan'er will definitely remember it in her heart."

After saying these words, she didn't linger for even a moment and turned around to walk to Shi Jinwen's side.

Mo Wuji looked at the departing Yan'er, and a sense of emotion rose in his heart. He had been in this world for more than a year, but he had not completely regarded himself as a true cultivator. He mixed a lot of emotions and self-emotions into what he did.

Just like this time when he insisted on coming back to see Yan'er, just like he was still thinking about Fei Bingzhu and Tao Ao's couple, just like he had always felt guilty for letting Shiyi Niang send Mo Xiangtong away and giving up the Leap to Immortality Assembly...

And Yan'er had integrated into the identity of a cultivator earlier than him. She repaid kindness with kindness, and then completely let go of everything to pursue the path of cultivation. She would never abandon her own path because of kindness, and it could be said that she was fair and impartial.

Was this what he needed? Mo Wuji shook his head. This was not what he needed. He had his own path, and his path was all figured out by himself. For him, the things that should be remembered must be remembered.

Just then, a barefoot man carrying a sheathless long sword landed in front of them. The barefoot man's gaze swept around the hall. Mo Wuji felt as if his entire body had been torn apart by a sharp sword, and he had been seen through.

"Greetings, Elders!" After the barefoot man appeared, many disciples in the hall bowed and saluted.

The barefoot man nodded and said, "This time, Elder Shi Jinwen from the Pill Tower and I will lead the team to the battlefield to fight the extraterritorial cultivators. Please ask the outer disciples and handyman disciples below the Building Spirit Realm to leave the hall..."

Mo Wuji was slightly stunned. What was going on? He originally planned to follow everyone to the extraterritorial battlefield to take a look and protect Yan'er at all times. Although Yan'er's cultivation was higher than his, she had been in seclusion and cultivation, and she had not seen much of the cunning of the outside cultivators. Maybe she would be tricked by others without even knowing it.

He didn't expect that Zhu Yueshan, the leader of Jianhu, would say that outer disciples were not qualified to go to the battlefield.

Mo Wuji quickly reacted. He said to Ren Tianxing, "Senior Brother Ren, we'll meet again later."

He guessed that Ren Tianxing would definitely go to the battlefield to fight the extraterritorial cultivators. Since he was not qualified, he would go to Wentian City to take a look first.

Yan'er's qualifications were so high, and Shi Jinwen was taking care of her, so he didn't actually need to worry about Yan'er's safety.

Even though Mo Wuji didn't explain anything, Ren Tianxing vaguely understood something. He took out a wooden box and handed it to Mo Wuji. "Junior Brother Mo, I believe we will see each other again soon. You don't have to worry about that matter. I guess he went to the battlefield too. The things in this box are useful to you, so take them first."

"Okay, thank you, Senior Brother Ren." Mo Wuji put away the things and turned around to leave. Since this was not a place for an outer disciple like him, he didn't need to stay here any longer.

He also understood what Ren Tianxing meant, which was that he didn't need to care about Jin Yu. With such a big thing happening in the Five Great Empires, Jin Yu must have gone to the battlefield.

After leaving the sect hall, Mo Wuji opened the things that Ren Tianxing gave him and found that it was a mask spiritual artifact. Mo Wuji's heart was filled with gratitude. He naturally knew why Ren Tianxing gave him the mask spiritual artifact. Even though Jin Yu was not in Wentian Academy, this thing was really a timely help for him.

Mo Wuji originally planned to go back to his cave to take a look, but he thought that he didn't have anything on the outer peak. Maybe Chao Buheng could be considered a friend, but now that he had offended Jin Yu, it was obviously not the time to look for Chao Buheng.

After a slight hesitation, Mo Wuji decided to go to Wentian City to see if Zhen Shaoke had arrived in Wentian City.

...

After coming to Wentian City again, Mo Wuji felt the bleakness of the invasion of extraterritorial cultivators even more. He had been to Wentian City several times, but it had never been like this before. Not only were there few people on the streets, but even the business buildings were deserted.

Mo Wuji specially came to Luohai Chamber of Commerce to inquire about Jiuyue Pill Pavilion. To Mo Wuji's regret, he did not get the news from Luohai Chamber of Commerce that Jiuyue Pill Pavilion had settled in Wentian City.

Luohai Chamber of Commerce also did business in pills, so since Luohai Chamber of Commerce had not heard of Jiuyue Pill Pavilion settling in Wentian City, it meant that Jiuyue Pill Pavilion had not yet come to Wentian City.

Mo Wuji was not worried that Jiuyue Pill Pavilion had not settled in Wentian City. It was difficult to get land in Wentian City, and Jiuyue Pill Pavilion was a latecomer, so it was normal that they could not buy a business building here.

He didn't want to go back to Wentian Academy, and there was nothing for him to do in Wentian City. Just as Mo Wuji was hesitating whether to go to the extraterritorial battlefield alone, he heard someone calling from behind, "Junior Brother Mo."

Such a familiar voice. Mo Wuji turned his head and saw an acquaintance, Cen Shuyin. Compared to the previous few times he had seen her, Cen Shuyin's face was even paler, and her expression was extremely haggard. Even so, it was difficult to conceal her stunning beauty.

Not good, Cen Shuyin's condition must have been caused by cultivating the Heavenly Thunder Seven Styles. Mo Wuji's first thought was to leave quickly.
