"Long time no see."

Hearing this, Li Zhao was stunned for a long time before he spoke, and there was a trace of helplessness in his eyebrows: "Every time the master disappears so suddenly, the Taihua Immortal Sect is goodbye, I have too many things to ask." However, in the past 50 years, I have also gotten a few clues, but each time I can't catch up with ......."

In the past fifty years, Gu Ziyan has spent all his time in various secret realms, and he has been tossing and turning between the secret realms that have been opened and those that are about to begin, and it can almost be said that he has traveled to every corner of the Nine Heavens Continent. Every time according to the scroll of drawings given to him by the Heavenly Machine, after staying in the previous secret realm for enough time, and at the same time taking all the important heavenly and earthly treasures in his pocket, Gu Ziyan would immediately rush to the next secret realm.

The aura in the secret realm is often purer than in other places, with that scroll of drawings, Gu Ziyan only took fifty years to break through from the Jindan realm to the Yuanying realm, and now his cultivation is close to the stage of transforming into a god.

So even if Lizhao has been sending people to look for him, it is impossible to find him.

Speaking of that farewell to the Taihua Immortal Sect, Gu Ziyan also felt a little sorry in his heart, originally planning to find a suitable time in the future, and then slowly talk to Lizhao about the reason for the matter. It was only then that a series of things happened, so that he was so focused on his cultivation that he didn't have the heart to think about it anymore, so this delay took too long. It wasn't until a while ago that he passed by a city near the Cangming Sect and happened to see the natural vision, wind and thunder on the Cangming Sect's side, that he remembered that the Zhaohua Divine Period had been completed, and the tribulation was about a few days away.

However, since it was a catastrophe, Gu Ziyan still stayed in the city for a few more days, so as not to disturb him.

When the vision above the heavenly dome gradually subsided, Gu Ziyan set off to return to the Cangying Sect. After Li Zhao survives the Heavenly Tribulation, he will enter the Tribulation Period, which is mainly based on absorbing aura, and who knows how long this period will last? If Gu Ziyan ran to a few more secret realms, he might not be able to see Li Zhao's face in the time he came and went.

Listening to Li Zhao's aggrieved tone, Gu Ziyan raised his eyebrows: "Didn't I come back to look for you, I think you must be idle during the tribulation, and the time to come back is just right." ”

"No matter when Master comes back, it's just right." Although Li Zhao was a little helpless, he thought that seeing Gu Ziyan again in the last period of time would be his last wish.

In his life, aside from what happened when he was a child, the following days can be regarded as smooth sailing. Even if we encounter occasional difficulties, we always rely on blessings and misfortunes, and in the end, we can get what we want. He had encountered many adventures, and his cultivation had improved much faster than others, and even the revival of the Cangying Sect seemed to be a matter of course. Among all the things, the only regret is probably Gu Ziyan.

In fact, it has only been ten years since Zhao and Gu Ziyan got along in the Cangming Sect. But Li Zhao always remembered that when he was led to this dormitory, although Gu Ziyan's expression was cold, his movements were soft.

When he was young, he was killed and hunted down one after another, and even before these two incidents, he never received much care from his parents who were emotionally discordant.

To this day, he can still remember the scene when he first met Gu Ziyan - at that time, Gu Ziyan walked towards him step by step, the whole person exuded an indifferent but powerful aura, and then Gu Ziyan lowered his head slightly and held up Li Zhao's wrist. His appearance is already very deceptive, and he is obviously a demon venerable, but he has a pair of pale facial features, coupled with white hair, which makes people feel fairy.

It was such a face, coupled with the gentle movements that had been parked on Li Zhao's wrist for a long time, that made Gu Ziyan's first impression of Li Zhao quite high. Even if he later learned that Gu Ziyan's action of holding up his wrist was only to probe his qualifications, it did not prevent this impression from continuing.

At that time, Gu Ziyan had just come to this world, and even though his face was trying to play a cold role, he was habitually very light on physical contact. After all, he was facing a child who was only waist-high, and Li Zhao was too thin at that time, as a normal person, Gu Ziyan would naturally subconsciously light his movements.

After a while, Gu Ziyan spoke: "From today on, you will be my disciple." ”

In the following ten years, the reason why Gu Ziyan was in the system was rarely left by Zhao. Occasionally, when they met, they were all lightly reprimanded, and at first Li Zhao was a little disheartened, but later when he always found something in the room by chance, he understood something. Although Li Zhao couldn't guess what the reason for Gu Ziyan had such two diametrically opposed performances, as long as he knew that the master actually cared about him in his heart, Li Zhao was already very satisfied.

He originally thought that it would be good to live like this all the time, although the master always seemed to be closer to Lin Jing.

Then one day, Li Zhao had a conflict with Lin Jing because of some things. Although the cultivation of Lin Jing is relatively high, Li Zhao has a defeat with Lin Jing because of several adventures. On that day, Lin Jing felt embarrassed and didn't want to be discovered by others, so he left the Cangming Sect to recuperate outside. And because of this, Lizhao has the opportunity to replace the previous position of the forest realm.

If Li Zhao knew at that time that Lin Jing had used this incident as a fuse to decide to completely betray Gu Ziyan, then he would have killed Lin Jing first even if he fought to the death.

It wasn't until much later that Li Zhao slowly found out. When Lin Jing left the Cangming Sect to recuperate, he met Shen Yue, who had infiltrated the Cangming Sect for a period of time, and even contacted Xuan Huai through Shen Yue after he revealed his identity. Many people know that the only son of Xuan Huai, the law enforcement elder of the Taihua Immortal Sect, died at the hands of Cangyan Demon Venerable many years ago, so he can be said to have an enmity against Gu Ziyan.

Lin Jing was originally because of the matter of leaving Zhao, not only secretly suspected that Gu Ziyan was partial, but also gradually felt dissatisfied with his current situation. His cultivation is not low, but apart from the title of the eldest disciple, he has no other position in the Cangming Sect. So when Xuan Huai promised him a series of benefits, he was moved.

What Xuan Huai asked him to do was just to do tricks on Gu Ziyan's sword, and then just report a letter. Not to mention the matter of reporting the news, Lin Jing usually serves by Gu Ziyan's side, and it is not difficult to touch his sword. Since these two conditions can be exchanged for rich feedback, Lin Jing, who was already hateful, naturally readily agreed.

After that, Li Zhao hardly dared to recall the situation in that barren valley.

If he hadn't held back that breath at that time and didn't conflict with Lin Jing, wouldn't Gu Ziyan have died? This thought appeared in Li Zhao's mind countless times, so much so that later he was almost paranoid that Gu Ziyan's death was inseparable from him.

This is an obsession that cannot be tolerated by others.

Therefore, when Li Zhao knew that Xing Chi had deceived his superiors and subordinates, and insisted on blocking the reborn Gu Ziyan from the Cangying Sect, he would lose his usual calm. At that time, when he faced the star, he could almost be called furious. If Xing Chi hadn't accompanied him to be born and died in the Ancient Domain, and if he had been replaced by anyone else, maybe he wouldn't even have a chance to enter the Blood Hell River.

Speaking of which, what kind of feelings does he have for Gu Ziyan?

Maybe Li Zhao himself can't tell.

A teacher for one day, a teacher for life, Gu Ziyan's wisps of tenderness were remembered by him for too long, and when a sudden death completely took it away, everything turned into pain that went deep into the bone marrow. Once a person disappears from this world, every trace he has left behind is precious.

He cares about Gu Ziyan very much, but he doesn't have too many extravagant expectations, as long as he ...... It is enough for everything to be well as far as the eye can see.

What Li Zhao cherishes is only that tenderness, the tenderness that has been lost and returned.

"Master, how long are you going to stay when you come back this time?" Retracting his wandering thoughts, Li Zhao raised the corners of his mouth slightly.

Gu Ziyan thought about it, and finally looked at Li Zhao's eyes, and finally relented: "Until you have a successful tribulation period...... But say it in advance, you can't deliberately suppress the spiritual power and not soar! ”

"Well, I won't." Li Zhao nodded.

Deliberately suppressing spiritual power to keep oneself from ascending, this dangerous and capricious right only belongs to another person.

Li Zhao didn't feel unhappy at all, he just felt a little lost - anyway, if Gu Ziyan felt happy, of course he, who was an apprentice, was in the same mood.

From the tribulation to the ascension, it took twenty years to leave Zhao.

These twenty years of time, plus the ten years in the Cangying Sect, plus the seven years of the Taihua Immortal Sect.

A total of 37 years, accounting for nearly one-fifth of Lizhao's entire life.

He has no regrets, because he waited for it every time.
