Tong Yan looked at Mandrill intently and frowned.

Mandrill said such things so calmly that Tong Yan didn't know how to answer.

The sadness on his face made Mandrill feel a little uncomfortable.

Mandrill looked away. He was an immortal with three eyes and five manifestations. He had been running around the territory of Liyue. He had no intention of integrating into the human race of Liyue.

Guarding Liyue was a contract he made with Emperor Yanwang. This was his duty, so he had been silently getting rid of the people and monsters corroded by the darkness.

This is what he is best at, and he will do it best.

He doesn't need anyone's pity, especially those he is close to.

"You don't have to be like this."

"This is my duty."

Mandrill carried the wild boar and walked deep into the woods.

Looking back, he saw that Tong Yan was still standing there, and Mandrill slowly said, "Aren't you hungry?"

There was still no emotion in the voice, but Tong Yan could hear concern in it.

Tong Yan was very satisfied with this. She thought it was great to be Mandrill's apprentice.

In this way, she can have a more comprehensive understanding of Mandrill's past, his habits and preferences.

"Teacher, I want to eat the food you cooked!"

Mandrill replied without any hesitation: "Okay."

Seeing Mandrill agree, Tong Yan quickly followed him. She walked beside Mandrill, holding the hem of her clothes with her little hands. She was actually a little nervous at this moment.

Because Tong Yan discovered that even though she had been with Mandrill for a long time in her previous life, she still didn't understand Mandrill well enough.

She didn't know about things like those just now. Thinking of this, Tong Yan knocked her head in annoyance.

I lamented that I didn’t even know such a thing.

From the corner of his eye, Mandrill caught a glimpse of a child doing various cute little tricks. Although he was confused, he didn't mean to disturb her.

Tong Yan is still immersed in her own world. At this moment, she is recalling what she was doing in her previous life.

After thinking hard for a while, Tong was completely stunned.

She and Mandrill, who were still An Chun at that time, seemed to be more like comrades who shared hardships. The two spent most of their time fighting side by side.

Later, An Chun received a mission to act alone. The arrogant An Chun went alone when Mandrill was carrying out a special mission ordered by Emperor Yan. She did not tell anyone.

Then she failed without a doubt. When An Chun fled, only Mandrill's figure remained in An Chun's mind. When An Chun was dying, Mandrill came to rescue her.

An Chun was lying in Mandrill's arms. She didn't feel scared. She felt at ease.

At that time, An Chun didn't have any regrets in his heart, and he was even satisfied that he could die in Mandrill's arms.

Finally, An Chun held Mandrill's cheek and said goodbye to him by kissing the mask.

From An Chun's perspective at that time, it seemed to be a very poignant way to say goodbye.

Now that I think about it, I was really stupid.

Tong Yan covered her face and froze on the spot, motionless, and kept muttering softly: "Oh."

"It's so stupid...so stupid..."

Tong Yan complained and stamped her feet at the same time. The waves were turbulent for a while, which was very spectacular.

Mandrill looked at Tong Yan's slightly silly posture from a distance, and a smile flashed in his eyes.

After a long time, Tong Yan stopped thinking nonsense.

After sighing softly, Tong Yan patted her chubby face to adjust her mentality. When she raised her eyes and looked forward, she happened to meet Mandrill's eyes. Seeing that Mandrill had been looking at her calmly, Tong Yan's face was confused.

It suddenly turned red.

The child-like black eyes were filled with surprise, but with a hint of surprise, the childish face tried its best to avoid Mandrill's sight, but was at a loss as to what to do.

As a result, the blush on her face became brighter and spread to her neck. Tong Yan blinked her big eyes. After taking a deep breath, she seemed to have calmed down and looked at the mandrill shyly.

A smile.

"teacher…"

"You...you...you..."

"I……"

Seeing the shy and confused look on the child's face, Mandrill smiled and asked, "Are you still hungry?"

Tong Yan felt that she was so embarrassed that she covered her face and looked up to the sky and shouted: "Hungry!"
