Get Demoted Into Cannon Fodder

Arc 5.6

In the depths of the night, a sprinkle of moonlight escaped into the room through the gaps in the window, alleviating the darkness in the room

Mo Xian's cold expression was visible to some extent. The chill in his eyes refused to dissipate as he recalled what had happened earlier today.

Mo Xian was almost certain that Zhao Zhen also came back in time.

After sitting down to recall every single detail in his previous life, Mo Xian realized that Zhao Zhen's volatile and violent temper was similar to those that nurtured Heart Demons.

His symptoms started to show after he failed to make a breakthrough during his two-year seclusion.

In comparison, his own progress proceeded way too fast.

It was not hard to tell that he was the root of his problem.

Mo Xian couldn't help but laugh at the irony of his situation.

He thought that he was making the other person proud by showing off his talent. Who would have thought that this very thing was the one driving a rift between them?

However, can a mere apology compensate for everything that he had put him through?

Mo Xian was more or less convinced that this was the reason for Zhao Zhen's weird behavior. Still, he didn't completely let go of another possibility.

A walk-in.

This person might not be Zhao Zhen at all.

It is not impossible, considering Zhao Zhen's weak cultivation.

He would have believed this to be the case had the other person not acted so familiarly with him.

That's right. He believed whoever they were, they were definitely familiar with him.

However, Mo Xian couldn't believe that there was someone who cared so much about him in this world, which made him lean more toward the first assumption.

Recalling Zhao Zhen's previous acts of trying to get on his good side, Mo Xian's eyes narrowed. A sneer appeared on his young face.

Let's see how he is trying to make it up to him.

''... Is it just my imagination or he hates you even more??''

He Tian was completely baffled by Mo Xian's murderous expression.

To be honest, he didn't expect Shi Shen to apologize to Mo Xian at all.

Although it may have sounded like Zhao Zhen's apology on the surface, He Tian knew that it was actually Shi Shen's apology to his partner for his abrupt leave in the last world.

Of course, since the man had no memories of him, he would only think that Zhao Zhen, his cheap Shizun, was trying to make amends with him.

He thought that Mo Xian would feel shocked and confused at this development. The idea that the other party's resentment intensified was not what he expected in the least!

Meanwhile, Shi Shen, still with his eyes closed, responded with another question, ''Imagine someone who had ruined your life and then suddenly came back to say sorry. Do you think you can stomach it?''

He Tian thought for a bit and realized what Shi Shen said made sense.

Just imagining that Han Ziqi apologizing to him after having his career screwed over made his blood boil.

Regardless, Shi Shen's mind was not disturbed by Mo Xian's reaction. He meditated till dawn. Upon opening his eyes, he breathed out softly, feeling the spiritual energy swimming in his Dantian like a fish in the lake.
