&#x3C;p&#x3E;Ch194&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;Qing Qiu froze in motion at the sudden shout. Could she not even hide her now-exposed skin and underwear? Though they had saved her, their voices were unfamiliar to her, and sounded scarily aggressive. &#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;Not wanting to offend whoever had come to her rescue in this moment of imminent disaster, Qing Qiu obediently stayed in place, not moving an inch. &#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x201C;The large purple fox just now, was that you?&#x201D; &#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;She couldn&#x2019;t see their faces, yet she felt their glances on her, seemingly penetrating her flesh and looking right into her soul. &#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x201C;C- Can I turn around?&#x201D; Qing Qiu knew that the first thing to do in order to establish a good relationship with them was to make eye contact. &#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x201C;Answer the question.&#x201D; &#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;Her expression distorted. Though she had only good intentions in mind, they had been rejected by them without second thought. It made her realize the position she was in, and accordingly, she answered without hiding anything. &#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x201C;Yes&#x2026;&#x201D; &#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x201C;Then you must die.&#x201D; &#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x201C;H- HUH?!&#x201D; Abruptly, as she sensed great danger, she turned around, just to see a dagger flying her way at a speed that was hard for her to grasp. Luckily, even though she was just a mortal now, her instincts still surpassed that of the average cultivator. &#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;In the last moment, she evaded the attack by rolling to the side. &#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;As she looked up again, two men in elegant cloaks came rushing towards her, wielding sword-like treasures as if they were about to strike. &#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x201C;PLEASE WAIT A MOMENT! LET&#x2019;S TALK FIRST!&#x201D; &#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;Everything was happening so quickly. Qing Qiu could hardly keep up. &#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x201C;There is no need to talk to the one that tried to kill the person that has done most for them.&#x201D; &#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x201C;&#x2026;!!&#x201D; &#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;At this stranger&#x2019;s words, Qing Qiu&#x2019;s face became ugly to the extreme. What did he mean by that? Did he know&#x2026;? But how&#x2026;? &#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x201C;You need to die.&#x201D;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;Regardless of the endless questions that flooded her mind at this moment, the stranger&#x2019;s words pierced her heart. &#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x201C;&#x2026;&#x2026;&#x201D; &#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;Though she knew that she was supposed to be frightened to death by the words of the stranger, no word passed by her lips. Qing Qiu was unable to explain it, but the stranger&#x2019;s words were dreadfully similar to the overwhelming thoughts that told her that everything was solely her fault and that nothing would have happened if she hadn&#x2019;t come to this world. &#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;She didn&#x2019;t deserve to live after what she had done to her master. Though she would have liked to die at his hands, she also knew that it was not hers to decide.&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x201C;Please tell him&#x2026; I&#x2019;m sorry&#x2026; and I truly loved him&#x2026;&#x201D; &#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x201C;Just die.&#x201D; &#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;In the end, she had fallen to the point that even her last wish was being ignored and tossed aside like a worthless thing.&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;She didn&#x2019;t dare to imagine herself in a position from which she could make any demands, but deep inside her heart, a little part of her had wished for her to grasp control over her own situation at least once at the very end of her life. &#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;Yet, that wish had now been extinguished, like the little flickering flame of a candle.&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;Her gaze moved from the incoming blade to her master&#x2019;s unconscious body still lying next to her. Managing to look past his blood-soaked clothes, she looked at his face. &#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;She smiled lightly as she thought of how beautiful he was, even now. &#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;She closed her eyes. The sight of her master&#x2019;s face would forever be the last thing her eyes would see. Qing Qiu was satisfied. Now, she could accept this being the end. &#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;All of a sudden, a faint wave of wind swept past her. &#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x201C;&#x2026;?&#x201D; &#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;Confused, she opened her eyes. All the men that had suddenly attacked her out of nowhere after saving her could not be seen anymore.&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;All that could be seen was one figure in her sight. &#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x201C;Y- You are&#x2026;&#x201D; &#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;There, in the middle of the glade, with corpses scattered all around it, stood the unpretentious figure of an old man in plain robes. &#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;Qing Qiu knew him. He had appeared before her earlier. Why did he appear again?&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;Thinking that he had solely appeared to save her life would be nothing but arrogant.&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;Through all of these sudden and abruptly consecutive plights, she had realized a lot of things that had been behind a veil before. Though some of these truths tore her heart apart, she was in no position to defy them.&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x201C;Thank you for saving me, Senior.&#x201D; She politely bowed her head to the ground and spoke without looking up. &#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;The old man just looked at her without any emotions surfacing in his eyes. His gaze was calm, Qing Qiu felt no threat from it, and thus, continued. &#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x201C;Dare I ask of Seniors intentions?&#x201D; &#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;For the first time since he had appeared, the old man&#x2019;s gaze shifted. Qing Qiu felt it but did not dare to look up to see where it had wandered to. &#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x201C;All I have is a single question. And all I require of you is a single answer.&#x201D; &#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;Though, in her heart, Qing Qiu felt startled at the old man&#x2019;s words, she remained the same on the outside. She bowed her head deeper as she politely spoke up. &#x201C;Please ask right away.&#x201D; &#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x201C;I need you to tell me the words the man called Zhen Xuan spoke to you on the day of your linage&#x2019;s ruination.&#x201D;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x201C;&#x2026;!!&#x201D; &#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;Hearing the name of her past husband so suddenly caused Qing Qiu to gasp, her heart palpitating beyond her own control. Memories resurfaced and deeply concealed emotions were swept up again. &#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x201C;Y&#x2026; Yes. Yes&#x2026; What&#x2026; What does Senior need to know?&#x201D;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x201C;Right before your death.&#x201D; &#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x201C;&#x2026;!!&#x201D; While still bowing, with her head hanging to the ground, her face paled greatly while her eyes had widened in shock. &#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x201C;Tell me. What did he say?&#x201D; &#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x201C;H- He told me&#x2026; it was a waste of time&#x2026;&#x201D; &#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x201C;What was?&#x201D; The old man slowly wandered towards her. &#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x201C;I&#x2026; I was...&#x201D; &#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x201C;Why did he say that?&#x201D;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x201C;I&#x2026; I&#x2019;m sorry! I don&#x2019;t know!&#x201D; There was nothing more fearsome than recalling the past. Qing Qiu was already drenched in sweat after just having exchanged a few words with the old man.&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x201C;Try to remember. Think closely.&#x201D; &#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;She gritted her teeth tightly. &#x201C;B&#x2026; Because I&#x2026; I was a disgrace&#x2026; to him.&#x201D; &#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x201C;There must be more.&#x201D; The old man now stood right before her. Qing Qiu could feel his penetrating stare on her, causing her to freeze. &#x201C;Remember.&#x201D; &#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;At his words, she trembled. Closing her eyes ever more tightly, she plunged into the memories of that day. At once, they overcame her, nearly making her fall unconscious. &#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x201C;L&#x2026; Lo&#x2026; Lov&#x2026; Lovable&#x2026;&#x201D; She stuttered aloud as she once again heard his voice in her head. Like a poison, it made her feel worse than she already was. &#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x201C;&#x2026;?&#x201D; The old man, luckily, seemed to distinguish between what was important to him and what wasn&#x2019;t. Qing Qiu&#x2019;s personal plight seemed none of his business, and thus, he did not bother because of it. &#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x201C;There was&#x2026; something&#x2026; about m- me&#x2026;&#x201D; Her beautiful purple eyes opened as she believed to have found what the old man had been looking for. &#x201C;Something&#x2026; special&#x2026;&#x201D; &#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x201C;&#x2026;Special?&#x201D; &#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x201C;H- He&#x2026; He said that&#x2026; when crisis was to befall the linage one day&#x2026; then it would be revealed&#x2026; and I would be&#x2026; of&#x2026; of great importance to its entirety.&#x201D; &#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x201C;Mn&#x2026;&#x201D; The old man stroked his beard as he seemed sunken deep into thought. &#x201C;Did he say anything similar&#x2026; perhaps before?&#x201D; &#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x201C;No&#x2026; No, there is nothing&#x2026; I&#x2019;m so sorry!&#x201D; With these words, Qing Qiu smashed her head on the ground and closed her eyes tightly. &#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x201C;Well then&#x2026;&#x201D; The old man turned around. &#x201C;I won&#x2019;t doubt your honesty. As you are one of them.&#x201D;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;Slowly, the old man walked away. Yet, Qing Qiu didn&#x2019;t dare lift her head. &#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;Suddenly. &#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x201C;WAIT!&#x201D; She exclaimed. The old man turned around. &#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x201C;Even after all of this&#x2026;&#x201D;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x201C;&#x2026;?&#x201D; &#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x201C;He said something like that.&#x201D; There was no more space. Yet, Qing Qiu bowed deeper. &#x201C;I remember. I promise.&#x201D; &#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x201C;Very well. Raise your head.&#x201D; &#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;Obediently, Qing Qiu followed his order. But when she looked for him, to thank her saviour while looking him into the eyes, he was already gone. &#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;For a moment, she simply sat there, confused and emotionally unstable. It took her a while before her emotions and memories were well concealed again. &#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;Then, she carefully cuddled next to her master, awaiting his awakening. Though she knew that this arrogant behaviour of hers would likely be to his great displeasure, but she couldn&#x2019;t help it. At this moment, when he was not looking, she would be the stupid little girl that he had known, one last time. &#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;Like this, her eyes fell shut. All of this&#x2026; it had been straining. &#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;There were no more enemies to defend her master from. Nobody could blame her for wanting a little rest.&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;(to be continued&#x2026;) &#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;

&#x3C;p&#x3E;He slowly opened his eyes, looking into the endless void. Who was he?&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;He felt like something was missing... what was it? Or... who was it?&#x3C;/p&#x3E;
