Chapter 113 (2/2)

However, martial demons are existences with the same prospects as humans.

They have the same talents as humans and can achieve the same intelligence and wisdom – can such beings really be cla.s.sified as livestock or goods? At least Xue Qilin cannot stand it.

However, she knows… knows that much like Shui Yun'er, she can't change anything. So she chose to remain silent, and has no intention to rescue the martial demon la.s.s.

If you can't do it till the end, then don't even start, or else it'll just be an act of self-gratification.

Xue Qilin is already bearing the weight of two people on her back – there are still a few people in Merak Temple. Like this, can she still carry the weight of another person?

Not everyone can bear the weight of life.

Shui Yun'er also seems to have the same opinion, and so she is being silent.

Shouldn't have come… Looking at the martial demon la.s.s whose features are hidden behind the shadow of her bangs, Xue Qilin sighed. She suddenly felt that she's being a m.a.s.o.c.h.i.s.t by staying here.

“Little Yun, let's go.”

As Xue Qilin stood up, she met the eyes of the martial demon la.s.s.

It is a pair of empty eyes.

There is nothing, no emotion, no hope, no… soul.

She looks like nothing of this is related to her.

She may not be able to feel anything anymore. The long-term pain may have wiped out her soul.

Xue Qilin forced herself to look away.

But at this time, Shui Yun'er finally couldn't bear it anymore.

“Young Teacher, let's buy her…”

She said thusly.

Xue Qilin stayed silent for a while. At the same time, she secretly advised herself not to be soft-hearted.

“Little Yun, I understand… But do you know what it means to buy her? It means that you have to take care of her for the rest of her life… can you do that? Can you give up your pursuit and take care of her for the rest of her life?”

Shui Yun'er opened and closed her mouth, speechless.

Reality is not as simple as you imagine.

If she really bought the martial demon la.s.s, Shui Yun'er would have to take care of her. However, Shui Yun'er is pursuing revenge, and the road she has to take is full of pitfalls. Will she really have the energy to take care of a martial demon?

On the other hand, there is still the question of where to settle her down. Merak Temple has no precedent of taking in humanoid martial demons. Will Qi Qiqi really make an exception? Even if she does, will Ye Zhen agree? Will the others agree? Qi Qiqi is not the only one who has a say in Merak Temple. Even with Xue Qilin speaking up, they still can't withstand the opposition of the Elders.

It is because she understands this that Shui Yun'er is speechless.

Of course, she can transfer the responsibility to Xue Qilin, but that would be just a show of irresponsibility and an act of implicating others. Shui Yun'er who blames herself for implicating Merak Temple's outer temple disciples previously most probably won't do such a thing.

“3800 taels! This Young Master is bidding 3800 taels, is there anyone who'll bid higher?”

The bidding seems to have reached the highest standing bid. By this time, the auctioneer's voice is already hoa.r.s.e.

The person who has the current standing bid is a Young Master from some n.o.ble family.

He is das.h.i.+ng and looks cultured.

However, Xue Qilin thinks that he's an eyesore.

Well, he's really an eyesore.

“Sold!”

The martial demon la.s.s was sold to this son of a n.o.ble family for 3800 taels, for roughly the price of a famous sword.

At the moment when the auctioneer announced the result, the son of a n.o.ble family stood up and went to the platform to collect his trophy. A complacent smile on his face, he ignored the resentful, envious, and malicious gazes around him.

Xue Qilin glanced at him, and then turned around and left with Shui Yun'er.

When they reached the entrance of the corridor…

An unforeseen development took place.

All of a sudden, Xue Qilin turned around and looked at the platform briskly.

Then her eyes widened.

The bright yellow eyes reflect a head thrown high into the air.

The head is spinning in the air. When it turned to face Xue Qilin, the la.s.s saw the look of shock on the face of the son of a n.o.ble family.

Thud.

The head fell on the floor, and a dull sound echoed heavily.

Half a beat later, blood shot into the air from the severed neck, spilled like rain, and stained the people around.

Everyone stared blankly at the scene in front of their eyes until…

The headless body standing before everyone's eyes finally lost its strength.

It fell on the floor and triggered a second dull sound, rousing the people who are s.p.a.cing out.
