Upon hearing this, the Azure Emperor paused briefly before saying, "I never expected you to remember. I had assumed you had long since entered the cycle of reincarnation, only to be taken under my wing as a disciple in this life—and renewing our master-disciple bond would be just the same."
He looked at her and said, "Whether or not you remember your past life, in my eyes, you have always been my most cherished disciple, Yun Qi."
Hearing his words, Yue'er felt a pang of sadness in her heart. She rushed forward and embraced him. "Master!"
The Azure Emperor was taken aback for a moment, then patted her head and laughed. "You're all grown up now; you can't keep throwing yourself into your master's arms like this."
Upon hearing this, Yue'er wiped away a tear, lifted her head from his embrace, and with a look of earnestness and resolve on her breathtakingly beautiful face, said, "Master, I love you. I've loved you since my past life. Master, do you love me?"
