The most important thing.
Ten years ago, she was only nine years old!
If she was Chi Xian's decade-long white moonlight, then Chi Xian… three years starting, thank you.
Chi Xian looked at Ming Zheng's disbelieving expression, and the brokenness in his lowered eyebrows and eyes intensified.
"Zheng Bao, if you've forgotten, I'll help you remember."
Chi Xian's hand reached into his pocket.
Then, he slowly raised it.
In front of Ming Zheng.
Those long, jade-like fingers unfurled one by one.
In the man's palm lay a black and white hairpin.
On that hairpin was carved a black cat.
The cat was lifelike.
One could see the profound skill of the carving.
The hairpin was inlaid with sparkling diamonds.
Beneath the wall lamps, it was exceptionally dazzling.
When Ming Zheng saw the hairpin, her pupils suddenly jolted.
She reached out and picked up the hairpin.
Her fingertips lightly traced the carved black cat on top.
Her hand trembled slightly.
At an extremely slow pace, she slowly turned the hairpin over.
Behind the black cat.
Indeed…
A clear character was engraved –
【Zheng】
This was her hairpin.
It was a hairpin that her master had personally made and carved for her.
Ming Zheng's long-buried memories were opened.
———— (I am the dividing line for buried memories) ————
Ten years ago.
Nine-year-old Little Ming Zheng left the Mo Sect with her senior brothers for training.
The place for this training.
It was the border of other countries in the Linjie, a place that ordinary people dared not tread, known as the "Misty Forest."
Little Ming Zheng was also one of the participants.
Naturally, she couldn't stay with her senior brothers all the time, relying on them for protection.
Thus, the seven senior brothers and she acted alone.
Little Ming Zheng, although young.
But the fact that her senior brothers allowed her to train alone showed that her strength was not weak.
Of course, it was also because she carried spirit tokens given by her senior brothers.
Once she encountered danger she couldn't resolve, she would immediately crush the spirit token to summon them.
Originally, in the Misty Forest, only fierce beasts were relatively dangerous.
But unexpectedly, a strange team stealthily infiltrated it.
Little Ming Zheng happened to discover them.
In that team.
Little Ming Zheng saw a young man from Xia Kingdom.
That was the first time Little Ming Zheng had seen a boy more handsome than her seven senior brothers!
And he was from Xia Kingdom!
Looking at the aura of the team, and the beautiful young man tied up with ropes.
Little Ming Zheng understood.
Someone was kidnapping the beautiful young man!
He was good-looking.
And from the same country as her!
This could not be ignored!
Her master had told her that no matter where she was, no matter what her position, she must never forget that she carried the blood of a Xia Kingdom person.
Seeing a Xia Kingdom person being bullied.
As a strong person.
She had to help!
Little Ming Zheng decisively acted, rescuing that beautiful young man.
And that team of thirteen people.
She had taken them down one by one.
It directly stunned the beautiful young man.
So, Little Ming Zheng felt that the beautiful young man must be a delicate and pampered young master from a wealthy family.
He was so good-looking.
Being caught here must mean they wanted to sell him!
The beautiful young man also had quite a few injuries.
Little Ming Zheng resolutely adhered to the principle of "saving someone to the end, sending Buddha all the way to the West," and decided to escort the beautiful young man out of the Misty Forest safely!
And so.
For the next half a month.
Wherever Little Ming Zheng went, she brought this "delicate and pampered" beautiful young man with her.
Although it was a bit difficult to bring someone along.
Little Ming Zheng also turned herself into a little calico cat.
But, she took excellent care of the beautiful young man!
She also found many precious herbs in the Misty Forest, and healed most of the beautiful young man's injuries.
Little Ming Zheng was very satisfied.
While training, she could also practice her medical skills.
She could also admire the beautiful young man's stunning looks.
This made the half-month of training not boring at all!
Until the end of the training period.
Little Ming Zheng received news from their Mo Sect's exclusive communication tool that her senior brothers were coming to pick her up.
Only then did Little Ming Zheng reluctantly send the beautiful young man out of the Misty Forest.
The senior disciple waited for her outside the Misty Forest.
Seeing her holding a young man's hand, he was even stunned for a moment.
Little Ming Zheng excitedly told the senior disciple everything that had happened.
The senior disciple's expression turned very unpleasant, and he looked at the beautiful young man with a scrutinizing gaze.
Then he walked over directly: "Give him to me."
Little Ming Zheng obediently said "Oh."
And let the beautiful young man follow the senior disciple.
The beautiful young man seemed a bit afraid of the usually stern senior disciple and was reluctant to go.
She appeased him: "Beautiful big brother, don't be scared. That's my senior disciple. If you follow him, he will send you back to Xia Kingdom safely."
She would have liked to take the beautiful young man back to the Mo Sect.
But the beautiful young man was kidnapped and was going to be sold.
He must have family.
His family must be anxiously waiting for him to return.
And…
The beautiful young man was too delicate and pampered.
Her master would definitely not allow ordinary people to set foot in the Mo Sect.
So, she had to reluctantly send off the pleasing-to-the-eye and well-behaved beautiful young man.
But when parting.
Ming Zheng took off a black cat hairpin from her head and tucked it into the beautiful young man's hand.
"Beautiful big brother, you must come find me to play in the future, okay? This is our keepsake!"
———— (I am the dividing line for returning to reality) ————
Ming Zheng: "..."
Dead memories suddenly attacked her.
The key thing was, that embarrassing "beautiful big brother," how could she have said it back then?
The most important thing…
That "beautiful big brother," turned out to be Chi Xian?
It was Chi Xian?!
How could it be such a coincidence?
"Remembered?"
Chi Xian looked at Ming Zheng's complicated expression and curled his lips.
Originally, he hadn't planned to tell Ming Zheng about ten years ago so soon.
What he wanted was…
For Zheng Bao to remember him voluntarily.
But he didn't expect that his plan was disrupted by Chi Sanyue.
It even caused Zheng Bao to almost misunderstand him.
It almost made Zheng Bao "widowed."
Chi Xian decided.
From today onwards, he would cut off Chi Sanyue's allowance.
Let her know that when life is too leisurely, not everything can be said!
Ming Zheng: "..."
No.
Now when she saw Chi Xian.
She would recall the scene of her calling Chi Xian "beautiful big brother" ten years ago.
Ming Zheng put the hairpin away: "It's back to its owner now, you can go."
The man who was as soft and obedient as a puppy in the previous second.
After hearing Ming Zheng's dismissal.
Those dark, jade-like eyes gradually deepened.
That face that could topple nations became even more alluring and captivating.
He walked straight to Ming Zheng.
"Zheng Bao, since you've already remembered me, and you know that my decade-long white moonlight is you, why are you still chasing me away?"
The man's tone carried a hint of grievance.
But between the lines, it revealed a dangerous depth.
