136 Hes Gone (2/2)

Bai Han had not seemed to notice General Guo's turmoil and strode toward An Sun, his eyes blazing with killing.

He withdrew his sword from his waist. ”Let me ask you again, where did you Tuhan scum hide him?”

An Sun maintained his impassive gaze and did not seem to be affected in the least by the old man's abrupt actions. Before Bai Han could vent his anger toward the young man's silence, An Sun blankly turned to look at the cliff.

In a dark voice, he said, ”We were recently ambushed. During the attack, an archer shot and Bai Lan…He protected me before falling down the cliff.”

An Sun's eyelashes trembled, his heart felt blocked, bringing an extremely uncomfortable feeling. He turned to look back at Bai Han and slowly, his controlled expression cracked, revealing a twisted, pained expression.

”He's gone.”

At that moment the quiet had become like icy drips onto already cold skin. Bai Han remained motionless; he stared at An Sun with a searching, penetrating gaze.

He did not dare believe the words he spoke.

After a period of silence, he heard An Sun's low voice whisper.

”I'm sorry.”

Following those words, Bai Han snapped. His chest felt heavy and his eyes deepened. An unknown twisted restlessness seized his senses and made him feel incomparably unpleasant.

Bai Han marched closer to An Sun and gripped his collar, his sword up to the man's pale neck. The Tuhan soldiers' behind An Sun gripped the hilts of their swords, but An Sun quickly flashed them a cold glance.

Reluctantly, they stepped back and stared nervously at the two men. An Sun redirected his gaze toward Bai Han, who was looking at him with unrestrained madness.

”You bastard! What are you sorry for? Don't lie! Do you think I'd believe for a second?”

Bai Han's fingers trembled and almost couldn't hold back the anguish in his voice. ”Why would my grandson protect scum like you?”

An Sun looked into Bai Han's silver eyes emanated with merciless murder. An Sun's lips curled into a smile; it was dark and gorgeous.

His voice was hoarse as he said: ”You think I'm not asking myself that question? After all, since the day we met, I've treated him poorly and yet, he chose to stay beside me. Going as far as to use his life to protect me...even now, I still don't know why he did it.”

At that moment, all traces of his sneer disappeared from Bai Han's face. He saw the turmoil of emotions in An Sun and felt uncomfortable.

A sudden realization dawned on him.

If she trusted anyone enough, she would fight with life to protect the ones she cared for. Since a child, this trait of Rin's scared Bai Han the most.

If it came down to it, she wouldn't hesitate to protect the ones she loved with her life.

Bai Han slowly stumbled back from An Sun, his expression numb. In that instant, Bai Han's eyes reddened, his eyes frantically surveying the ground as if searching for something, the sword held in his hand trembling.

”No…no…”

Why did things turn out like this?

Why?

Why couldn't she be selfish and spoiled for once?

General Guo stood frozen and felt his breath become heavy.

The Bai troops looked at the scene before them and very clearly heard An Sun's words. Their bodies were frozen in shock. A tightness wrapped around their chest and throats.

The young miss…was dead.

Bai Han clenched his teeth. He struggled to stay up before his muscles reached their limit, his body bent, and his back was shaking.

His words choked the breath from his lungs, ”Bai…Lan…”

His knees sunk into the frosty ground. In a low whispered voice, only he could hear he murmured hoarsely.

”Rin…Rin…”
