Male protagonist, you are targeting the wrong person

If you ask Jiang Wenbai if there is anything he regrets the most, he would probably say that it was that year when he obeyed Shangguan Zhi's order and brought Yan Wenmo down the mountain.

He always felt that the turning point of Yan Wenmo's fate was going down the mountain. If he didn't go down the mountain, he wouldn't have met Su Nian, wouldn't have met Xie Xiaofeng, wouldn't have met Yun Feidu and Yun Pudu, and wouldn't have left him without hesitation.

She could continue to work as a handyman in the Haotian Sect, be the carefree handyman who ate osmanthus cakes and arranged his food, clothing, housing and transportation.

What hatred? What grudges have nothing to do with her? He can shoulder it, shoulder it for her.

He could do anything, whether it was revenge for his father's murder, hatred for the extermination of his clan, or anything else. After all, their goals were the same, their experiences were similar, and he simply didn't want... he didn't want her to get hurt, and he didn't want her to leave him.

But three years ago, Jiang Wenbai was too weak. He had no strength, no power, nothing. He was just an ordinary disciple, just an ordinary cultivator. Because of the blood feud, he didn't even dare to resist.

He needed strength, the strength to kill the Demon Lord. This strength forced him to take Yan Wenmo down the mountain and put her in danger.

So, she abandoned him and left him, without looking back, resolutely, without any hesitation or wavering.

Even when she was captured and tortured by the Demon Lord, she never bowed her head to him and said that she needed to be rescued. In other words, she never told anyone that she needed to be rescued!

Is she not afraid of death? ! Jiang Wenbai thinks not. Compared with death, she seems to be used to facing all the storms given by life alone, and is also used to facing all the difficulties on her own.

She seemed to have forgotten that she was a girl and didn't have to face all these things alone, but she had to bear them alone for a long, long time.

Jiang Wenbai didn't know why Yan Wenmo had such a personality, who would lend a helping hand to others' needs but never mentioned his own needs. But later he realized that it was not that he didn't mention them, but that he was not trusted.

For the same thing, she would tell Su Nian, tell Xie Xiaofeng, tell the people she trusted, not herself, that she was not trusted. She seemed gentle to herself, but in fact she was wary of herself.

Jiang Wenbai didn't quite understand what Yan Wenmo was on guard against? Because he really had no intention of hurting her, but when he saw her past life experience through the Three Lives Stone, he felt that he seemed to understand what she was on guard against, or what she was resisting.

Jiang Wenbai had to admit that if it were him, if he knew that the other party was likely to kill his entire family, he would kill the other party without hesitation if it happened again, but Yan Wenmo did not.

She didn't do it. No matter what the situation was, she didn't kill Jiang Wenbai and let Jiang Wenbai live well. It's just that she couldn't trust or even rely on Jiang Wenbai.

She must have been very conflicted at that time. She knew that the other party could help her, but she couldn't trust him because there was hatred and vigilance between them.

But fortunately, really fortunately, he had done nothing wrong in this life, so he still had a chance, he still had a chance to keep her and not let her slip away so easily, and she seemed to be less wary of Jiang Wenbai as time went by.

Time is the best way to prove everything. Fortunately, Jiang Wenbai answered very well, so Yan Wenmo gave up his hatred and decided to accept him.

Therefore, when the Demon-Slaying Conference was held and everyone was discussing how to fight the next battle, he abruptly said those words which were inappropriate in the first place.

His expression was calm, but his tone was extremely firm as he said:

"Yan Shisan just escaped from the Demon Cult and was seriously injured. She doesn't have to go. I can take on the part she is responsible for."

The meeting hall was very large, with many bigwigs gathered there, including prominent figures from the righteous path, and his words seemed extremely out of place at this moment.

Yan Wenmo subconsciously looked at Jiang Wenbai. At this moment, she was sitting on the highest chair at the top of the table in the conference room, holding the glutinous rice dumpling that had transformed into its original form in her arms, and occasionally touching its fur.

In front of her was a huge conference table. On both sides of the table were the leaders and chiefs of various righteous sects. Regardless of their status, Jiang Wenbai's words seemed a bit provocative, so much so that Dan Chenzi subconsciously gave him a warning look.

But Jiang Wenbai didn't take it seriously, and even said that he ignored Dan Chenzi's warning. Instead, he looked at everyone and spoke again:

"Anyone object?!"

As soon as he finished speaking, someone jumped out. This person was from a sect called Yueyang Sect, which had just been established but had gained great fame.

The head of Yueyang Sect looked at Jiang Wenbai angrily and scolded:

"It was Yan Shisan who said that we wanted to attack the Demon Lord, so we came all the way here. Now, she, the initiator, is not going, and wants us to die. Although your Haotian Sect is a big family with great achievements and is not afraid of trouble, you shouldn't bully others like this, right?"

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a burst of agreement from all around him. The reason for this scene was that they were all very angry.

If Yan Shisan hadn't morally blackmailed them by saying that they wanted to attack the Demon Cult, they wouldn't have come here just for fame.

I thought it was just a gesture, but the other party made a list of heroes. In order not to lose face, they had to take out all the sect's background. Now, a disciple of your Haotian Sect actually said that she, the culprit, would not go. How could this be acceptable?

Anyone can choose not to go, but Yan Shisan, the culprit who made them empty-handed, must go, even if the king of heaven comes.

Although Dan Chenzi was somewhat displeased with Jiang Wenbai's words, but thinking that the other party was his apprentice, Dan Chenzi still accepted his fate and prepared to speak. Before he could say anything, Yan Wenmo added lightly:

"Yan Shisan's injury has almost healed, so Mr. Jiang doesn't need to worry too much about him. After all, he was the one who initiated this matter, and it would be unreasonable for him, the initiator, not to go."

As she spoke, she looked at Jiang Wenbai and glared at him angrily, clearly warning him not to cause trouble for her.

Seeing Yan Wenmo's warning look, Jiang Wenbai couldn't help but feel a little wronged. Three years ago, he had no strength, so he let her take risks. Now, he is powerful, what's wrong with wanting to protect her and not let her go to the battlefield? ?

Aren’t they just some chickens and dogs?! What’s there to be afraid of?? Besides, if she goes to the battlefield, what if she gets hurt?! What if she gets scared?! She…anyway, she can’t go.

Yan Wenmo naturally knew what Jiang Wenbai was thinking, but what he said was really inappropriate. After all, he was the initiator and had set up a hero list. If he was given special treatment and did not go during the attack on the Demon Lord, he was afraid that others would take the opportunity to ridicule him or even slander him.

Not only would it slander her, it might also slander the Haotian Sect, ruining its reputation, saying that the disciples of the Haotian Sect were overbearing and had no regard for the law. This would bring trouble to both the Haotian Sect and the Qianyang Sect.

Yan Wenmo doesn't like trouble, let alone giving others an advantage, so she warns Jiang Wenbai not to cause trouble and not to cause trouble for herself.

Although he was reluctant, Jiang Wenbai still gave up his idea. He became more and more indignant about this, so much so that after the meeting, when everyone had left, he started arguing with Yan Wenmo.

He sat on the chair angrily, looking at Yan Wenmo with eyes full of accusations and anger, and said to himself:

"That's a war with demon cultivators, not a spring outing. What are you going to do? What if you get hurt? What if someone kills you? What if someone bullies you? Don't you want to think about it?!"

Yan Wenmo also got angry at Jiang Wenbai's questioning and said angrily:

"I'm the initiator, and I'm not going. I think I don't have enough dirt on myself, and I don't give people the chance to throw dirty water on me, right?! Don't you see that this group of people are determined to find fault with me, and they hope that I won't go so that they can have the opportunity to slander me? You still provide them with material, because you think I'm too idle and want to find something for me to do, right?!"
