65 Understanding (2/2)

”It is,” responded Feng Hui. ”And it did not have to end like this.”

Their reunion could have been one full of smiles. At times, a single decision was all it took. Pushing through life, Feng Hui knew that he was also to blame for this fate.

”Regardless,” Feng Hui stated. ”Since you've chosen this path, I must also meet out the punishments.”

Witnessing the kneeling man, the remaining traitors shook. From the black-robed man's simple gaze to the approach he took, their buried memories began sprouting back up.

Watching the black-robed man, Zhi Ruo's ice goddess appearance had long ago melted. Right now, she was the same beautiful little girl who had adored that bullied prince since childhood.

Feeling Zhi Ruo's passionate gaze, Feng Hui's mouth dried up, but he needed to clear out the roots. In the long life of cultivators, a single miraculous encounter could allow someone to rise up from the ashes.

Later on, if the traitors were to seek out revenge, Feng Hui's loved ones would also be dragged into the mess. Along with this thought, Guan Liqin's figure grew ethereal; there was no pain.

”I'm sorry.”

These two words alone caused Liqin's tears to leak uncontrollably. Biting his lips, the same cute salivating child remerged, ”Master, it's not your fault.”

Sometimes, a single word could save a connection, while a single look could create a new bond. Over a decade of utter indifference had resulted in these traitors. Looking upward, Liqin's dimples puffed out, ”Farewell, master. I won't ever forget the adventures we shared together.”

For half a year, the two of them had survived in the mysterious Magical Beast forest alongside Zhi Ruo. Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please clickfor visiting.

For weeks on end, surviving with nothing but their smiles amidst the cool air. The barbequed beast meat shared between them at the fireside was an unforgettable memory.

The two words were meant for the entire Secret Legion. A show of blame for his ten years of neglect. Sighing, Feng Hui's brows lowered, ”Yeah. Take care, Little Brother Liqin.”

”I could have been a better friend.”

Truth be told, Feng Hui did not think of himself as the master. Instead, the Secret Legion was built as a group of friends to rely on one another for survival.

Nothing more, nothing less.

Over time, he had forgotten his meaning for life, which resulted in him fading into a life of solitude. In the end, his lenience was a result of his guilt.

However, Chan Aiguo was different. From the start, Feng Hui had his suspicions regarding the hydra-attired man, but he had respected the Secret Legion's personal space. It was not within his ideals to probe through what his friends did in their own time.

In the end, Guan Liqin was no more. In the blink of an eye, all that was left was a storm of emotions.
