He had no ti back into action He approached a large boulder and gave it a hefty shove further down the cliff, the sound it made was that of a heavy thud
”Are you insane?” Behind hiht of a cave The terribly wounded Xiao En had already made his way inside, and thus had the ti, ”I'd like to see how you plan on cli back up there!”
Fan Xian`s only response was to shrug his shoulders He wasoldof his new environ he desired was for this place to harbor so to Xiao En, he presented him with a certain pill
Graciously, Xiao En accepted the pill and proceeded to s it promptly With further ridicule, however, he told Fan Xian: ”Twenty years ago, the likes of Lang Tao and Friar He could never have hoped to oppose me What about you, eh? You are the Codo and Fei Jie`s successor, yes? But you were made to leap off a cliff, only to survive the fall and now be forced to rot away in this cave, to die of starvation”
These words did not rile Fan Xian up Instead, they made him smile and so he replied, ”When an old ood old days’, it usually ”
Xiao En paid little heed to these words and said, ”Nothing can be done to alleviate these wounds I a more to lose What I do not understand, is why soths to save a fellow like : ”Furthere to leap off that cliff, with such thick fogyour vision?”
”Your so-called Godson is a rehter, but he is not one for plans, secrets, and diplomacy” Fan Xian pulled out a needle from his hair and poked it into Xiao En’s body to cease the bleeding Following this, he said, ”Even the Brocade Guard were able to uncover where you tere supposed to ht to surmise this was a set-up”
Xiao En had no quarrel with allowing Fan Xian to perform his practice of medicine upon him, but he couldn’t help but roll his eyes Xiao En called out an observation, stating, ”Your needle contains a poison”
Fan Xian hadn’t theand your body possesses a few hundred manners of toxins, anyway What harhed twice, and his eyelids began to grow heavy The behavior and tee one
Fan Xian could see that the oldto die due to severe blood loss Already, his face had gone pale But all of a sudden, Fan Xian asked, ”When Shen Zhong had the courtyard surrounded, you should have known that the Brocade Guard knew full well of Shang Shanhu’s plans to save you Why do you still continue?”
”Continue what?”
”Continue to pretend that you were injured upon your flight fro in wait for you and you knew that those who fought so hard to rescue you were all dead”
Xiao En looked at Fan Xian, and after a brief period of silence, he began to laugh ”Perhaps I a the helpless victi you out, so that you may die with me”
Fan Xian, tired of his jests, finally said, ”Can’t you be serious for once?”
Xiao En’s eyesight drifted to look past Fan Xian’s shoulders, and take in the deep valley The sunlight was getting brighter and brighter and the fog that dressed the cliffs began to clear In the distance, one could see the mountain that looked like a cracked yellow mirror It was of another kind of beauty
”I had been locked away for so long, I always dreaded the thought of dying in that cell,” Xiao En said solemnly
Fan Xian turned around to look in the direction that captivated Xiao En’s attention so much, and noticed that up ahead was a mountain with a surface that was incredibly smooth, only marred by the occasional cracks that were not unlike the shape of lightning bolts Upon thethere And whilst it looked sorrowful, standing there all alone, it’s deterreen leaves, was adreen trees Down below, there is water and white fog This place would an to sort out his right leg’s pants The Overwatch Council’s clothing was of tre fireproof, pickpocket-proof and cut-proof It was reed to cut through that which threaded this clothing Fan Xian unequipped the dagger given to hiently for a while and said, ”Thank you I had no desire of changing et into such a fight and thrust yourself into this grave situation?” As he asked, Xiao En curiously exauise that Fan Xian still wore He took particular notice of his dry lips Perhaps when on the verge of death, one’s curiosity heightens?
Fan Xian placed the dagger near his foot He began ed veins of his wounded left calf and softly spoke: ”When I found out this was an ambush set by the Northerners, I was prepared to fall back But when I saw that you were dying, I have no idea what spurred me into action”
The reason, however, was quite simple; Fan Xian desired to know Xiao En’s secrets He wanted to knohere the temple was, and the relationshi+p that existed between the temei, and of his rebirth into this world He wanted to know about his life, where he caant mother Fan Xian had always cherished his life, but for just this once, he illing to risk it all
