After the mind-reading cripple junior sister, the entire sect rose to prominence.

Chapter 395

“At first, I looked for people my age, but after a hundred years I still had no news of you. At that time I guessed that there must have been a mistake.”

Huo Tian recalled his arduous search over the past century and felt nothing but bitterness.

But he enjoyed it nonetheless.

"Did you initially think I should be the same age as you, and that my appearance might be different from before, but I would still be a woman?" Mo Jiuwei asked.

Ah Qing himself looks different from before, so when he searches for himself, he certainly won't look for his appearance from his previous life.

"Well, at first I was looking for women of the same age. I even deliberately spread the name Chen Qing around, but it didn't work. Then I broadened the age range, and later I even broadened the gender range."

Huo Tian couldn't help but smile wryly.

The Lord may be born in any form and age, and may not even be a woman.

The only thing he was certain of was that the Venerable One was exceptionally capable and would certainly not be content with mediocrity. She could refine pills, craft weapons... there was almost nothing she couldn't do.

Therefore, if someone is found to be strong in everything and has a knowledge that transcends this world, it is most likely the Lord himself.

However, the Lord should still be relatively unknown, or just beginning to gain some fame, and his reputation has not yet spread widely.

This undoubtedly broadened the scope of his search, as he had to contact everyone one by one and make a judgment on whether they were true or not based on details.

This body originally belonged to a minor family's illegitimate son. He worked hard to cultivate and earn money in order to have more resources at his disposal and to find the Lord as soon as possible.

But who knew that this search would never end? Perhaps the place where the Venerable One was located was too far away and there was no way to contact her, or perhaps she was in trouble and trapped somewhere.

In order to make money and to have greater power, he knew that small-scale operations would not last long, so he simply established Wangliu and secretly cultivated many confidants.

His trusted confidants were his eyes and ears, scattered throughout the continent, helping him to collect all those who were rising to fame. The list was given to him, and he would personally eliminate them.

He did this for a hundred years.

For a century, Wang Liu has been famous throughout the continent, and Huo Tian has a respectable status.

But he still found life dull and tasteless. Every day he couldn't find the Lord felt like a walking corpse. If he hadn't held onto the belief that the Lord was definitely alive, he might have already decided to die.

Mo Jiuwei fell silent.

If Huo Tian had only done this for a year, the same amount of time as her reincarnation, then perhaps Mo Jiuwei wouldn't feel sorry for him.

But he did it for a hundred years, during which he had almost no goal, searching day after day, only to be disappointed time and time again.

"How did you find the secret realm? Did you know I was there?" Mo Jiuwei asked him.

Huo Tian shook his head. "I don't know, but I'll search for any secret realm, just to try my luck."

He felt that, given Mo Jiuwei's personality, she might go to a secret realm.

After all, she likes all things new and exciting.

Mo Jiuwei was silent for a moment, then finally asked him, "Now that you've found me, and you know I don't need you anymore, what are you planning to do next?"

Huo Tian looked at Mo Jiuwei.

Yes, he knew she didn't need him anymore.

She had the support of the Xianlai Sect, and he had heard how much the people of the Xianlai Sect doted on her, their junior sister.

She had seven maids with her, and judging from their attitude towards her just now, they were gentle, considerate, respectful and attentive, enough to serve her very well.

Even without him, she has no shortage of supporters, and she can get whatever she wants. "Wangliu was originally created for you. Even if you don't need it, I will manage it for you," Huo Tian said. "You are too capable, and you will shine sooner or later. At that time, you will have as many friends as you will have enemies. The existence of Wangliu is your confidence, and it will always protect you."

The Lord is very capable; everyone would consider him a genius, and geniuses are often the target of envy.

The Immortal Sect might be her support, but it's not enough.

Besides the forces in the open, she also needs the help of a hidden force, and Wang Liu is such a force.

"Aqing, I don't want you to be so tired. Don't you want to live for yourself?"

"No, if it's just for myself, I don't want to live," Huo Tian said without hesitation.

What's the joy in living? He's endured this for a century, struggling and persevering, all for the sake of the Lord.

If the Lord doesn't need him at all, and doesn't need him to do anything, then he would rather die.

Mo Jiuwei couldn't help but rub her forehead.

Stubborn, so incredibly stubborn.

In her previous life, Mo Jiuwei founded a mercenary group, where she was the leader and the group had all sorts of talented people.

Ah Qing was one of her subordinates, and there were hundreds of other subordinates like him, but none of them were as stubborn as him!
He's a madman who dares to offer up even his own soul!
Huo Tian simply looked at Mo Jiuwei, his gaze unwavering.

In his previous life, he suffered betrayal and abandonment from a young age, his life was bleak, and he had no idea what the meaning of living was.

His world only came into color after he was saved by the Lord, but the color was only because of her.

He would accompany her in doing whatever she wanted, and he would find whatever she desired. That was the meaning of his existence in the world.

So after she died, he had no reason to live on alone.

It was like this in the past life, and it is like this life; you can't drive it away no matter how hard you try, nor can you chase it away.

Unless you die.

Mo Jiuwei looked into his incredibly clear eyes, as if she could see right through his heart; they were so simple and stubborn.

"You... I really can't do anything with you."

She could only manage a weak, bitter smile.

Huo Tian's eyes lit up. "You're allowing me to stay by your side?"

“I allow you to continue being your leader, to be a good boss, to manage your people well, and to do your job properly.” Mo Jiuwei glared at him. “You can continue doing what you did before, just don’t look for me anymore.”

If he spent the time he would have spent looking for her on living his own life well, perhaps he could have found meaning in life?
Although Mo Jiuwei felt that the possibility was extremely low.

That's how it was in her past life. She felt that Aqing was stubborn and seemed to have never figured things out. Because of this, she advised him to find a Daoist partner and have a child, so that he could focus his mind on his Daoist partner and family.

But it was no use; he had no interest in it at all.

Mo Jiuwei saw it clearly; she knew that Aqing had no romantic feelings for her, only gratitude for her recognition and support.

But for this kindness, he was willing to give everything; his heart was that simple and pure.

"Okay, I will manage the Flow well and protect you, and you can just do what you like."

Huo Tian laughed after hearing this, a laugh so happy and radiant that even his eyes sparkled.
