That night, everyone chatted until midnight before returning to their rooms in groups of two or three. As the birthday boy, Jiang Jingmo drank especially much.

She was sent back by Jiang Jiting and Shen Shuli. After discovering Shen Shuli's thoughts, Jiang Jiting dared not hand Jiang Jingmo over to Shen Shuli.

"Wow--"

Jiang Jingmo was in a daze, holding the wooden barrel and vomiting non-stop, she was about to vomit out bile.

Jiang Jiting was stroking her back beside her, his expression both distressed and helpless.

"You really love to show off."

Jiang Jingmo was holding onto a wooden barrel and vomiting violently. Although he heard what Jiang Jiting said, he was obviously unable to reply.

She vomited for a while, and only stopped when she had vomited out all the wine in her stomach. Jiang Jiting took a handkerchief to wipe her mouth, while Shen Shuli came to the table and poured her a glass of water.

He mixed royal jelly into it and waited until it was completely dissolved before coming to Jiang Jingmo.

"She'll feel better if she drinks this."

He handed the cup to Jiang Jiting and lowered his eyes to look at the girl who was becoming dazed due to being drunk.

She frowned and looked uncomfortable.

"Thank you."

Jiang Jiting took it, thanked him, and finally there was a smile on his face.

He coaxed Jiang Jingmo to drink the water, and when he saw that she was finally not feeling so uncomfortable, he tucked the quilt in for her and slowly retreated with Shen Shuli.

After closing the door, he turned to look at the man standing beside him. In the dark night, there seemed to be a flash of golden light in his eyes.

"What do you want to ask?"

Shen Shuli smiled and was the first to speak.

"How did you and Momo... meet?"

Jiang Ji frowned slightly when he listened, and looked at Shen Shuli with a probing and scrutinizing look in his eyes.

"It's simple. She saved me."

"When?"

"…when she was undergoing the sect's trial."

Shen Shuli did not hide anything and told him everything.

The fact that he can stand here with Jiang Jiting today means that the other party already knew everything.

"It was you who used that seal that day, right?"

Jiang Ji listened to the firm tone, and his usually gentle eyes were now a little cold.

"It's me, but this isn't what you want to ask, right?"

Shen Shuli nodded, as if he was going to reveal his true colors. He knew that even if he didn't say it today, he would find out some things sooner or later.

Paper cannot hold fire.

"Since you asked, I guess you must have checked who this seal came from?"

"Ah."

Jiang Ji looked at him with complicated eyes. In fact, the meaning of the person in front of him was very clear. He was the one, but...

"What is your purpose in approaching Momo? What can a powerful person like you gain from her?"

This is his biggest concern.

"Her saving me was an accident, and I have no purpose towards her..." The smile on Shen Shuli's face faded, and his expression became serious rarely.

"I won't hurt her."

"…How can I trust you? Your identity alone is enough to bring Mo Mo a lot of trouble."

Jiang Ji listened to every word and said that he might not care who Shen Shuli was, but he could not ignore Jiang Jingmo's safety.

Shen Shuli looked at him and remained silent for a rare moment.

After a long time, he spoke.

"If my true identity is revealed one day, I will not let her suffer any harm. I swear on my soul."

As he spoke, he tilted his head and smiled at Jiang Jating, with red lines spreading from between his eyebrows.

"I won't make it difficult for her."

Zhao Qi, who was hiding in the dark, couldn't help but widen his eyes the moment he saw the red lines. He was determined to rush out, but Xue Bei held him tightly.

"Master, the master has ordered that no matter what happens, we cannot go out."

"But……"

"Master, it's useless. Even if you go out now, the oath of the soul has already been fulfilled."

Xue Bei hugged him tightly, fearing that he would do something extreme again.

But he was also really surprised that his master was so cruel that he even sacrificed his soul.

Isn't this pure love?

"you……"

Jiang Jiting was also speechless. He looked at the scene in front of him and was speechless for a moment.

After coming to his senses, he, who had always been as dignified as jade, was a little out of control.

"Are you crazy? I swear on my soul. If you break it, your soul will be destroyed."

"Yes, I know."

Those marks gradually disappeared into Shen Shuli's body, and he returned to his usual appearance.

He knew what Jiang Jiting meant. It was actually very simple to solve this problem. As long as he stayed away from Jiang Jingmo, he wouldn't have to worry about anything. This was undoubtedly the best way.

But Shen Shuli couldn't do it.

During those few minutes of silence, an indescribable feeling of emptiness enveloped him when he thought about never being able to contact Jiang Jingmo again.

He didn't know what was wrong with him, but what he had just done was the best answer he could give.

It's a bit stupid, but Shen Shuli doesn't care.

"At least now you can trust me, right?"

He smiled, his eyes shining.

"..."

Jiang Jiting looked at him, seemingly helpless and surprised, and finally just sighed.

"I believe you."

He turned around and walked towards his house.

Shen Shuli was still standing there, quietly looking at his back. When he walked away, his eyes fell on the place where Zhao Qi and the others were hiding.

Two dark shadows appeared out of nowhere and landed in front of him.

"master."

Zhao Qi and Xue Bei saluted respectfully. After Shen Shuli asked them to stand up, Zhao Qi could not help but speak.

"Master, just now..."

Before he could finish, Shen Shuli raised his hand to stop him from saying the rest.

"I know what you want to say. Just treat me as a fool. The oath has been made and cannot be changed. You know that."

"…Yes."

Zhao Qi was choked by Shen Shuli's words. He stopped talking and remained silent.

He knew Shen Shuli, and this was definitely not a stupid thing to do. The moment Shen Shuli made the oath, he had already thought about the final consequences.

What I just said was just an attempt to evade him.

Shen Shuli didn't say anything else, just asked about the Jiuyin Valley, then let the two leave. Then, the moment Zhao Qi turned around, he called him again.

"Uncle Zhao, don't stop me."

Hearing this, Zhao Qi paused, and for the first time did not reply to him and just left.

Shen Shuli looked at his back and shook his head helplessly.

Zhao Qi is a very special existence to him. Although he has always regarded him as his master, to Shen Shuli, Zhao Qi is his elder, both his teacher and his father.

He always felt a little disappointed when he didn't get his consent.

But Shen Shuli finally walked to Jiang Jingmo's door and knocked twice. The sound was very light, as if he was afraid of disturbing the sleeping person in the house.

He pushed open the door and looked at the girl who was sleeping soundly on the bed with a rare gentle look in his eyes.

"I'm going through the main entrance today, you little heartless guy."
