C181 (2/2)
The young girl gently opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but no sound came out. In the end, she could not help but lower her head.
Lu Beiyou held her tightly in his arms, ”I know, I know, Yao Yao!”
Li Luoshen's eyes gradually turned indifferent, without the slightest trace of emotion.
”You know full well that she is dead, and that she died in your hands. And why are you sad now? ”
Ah!” Terrifying sound waves transformed into sword qi that divided everyone in the area into two. The scene suddenly changed, leaving only Lu Beiyou, who was carrying the girl's corpse, and Li Luoshen, who was standing not too far away.
”Is this the test I was given?”
Hearing Lu Beiyou's hoarse voice, Li Luoshen shook his head, ”You have already failed the test, and the moment you were ready to help the girl, you had already failed. You know very well that the girl is dead in the world you live in. Furthermore, he died in your hands. The cause and effect of this matter is already decided, and no one can redeem it. You know very well that this is only a test, but why are you so moved? ”
Lu Beiyou, who was hugging the girl's body which was gradually losing its temperature, did not speak for a long time.
Lu Beiyou raised his head, ”Although I am not a good person, how can I argue with a single glance? I listened to Master's words and slaughtered the entire Li Residence because the people suffered, and I was not at fault. I acted on behalf of the young girl because there's still a girl like Yao Yao in the Li Residence. She's kind, cute, and understanding.
”So?”
”So, I'm not in the wrong. No matter if it's the past or the present, I'm not in the wrong!”
Suddenly, Li Luoshen's numb face revealed a smile, he bowed and gave way to Lu Beiyou, and a white door appeared behind him.
The girl in Lu Beiyou's hand turned into streaks of white light and disappeared, but a white dagger appeared in his hand.
”Congratulations on passing the trial. I made this sword out of her soul. Leave it by your side as a memento.” However, if she is unable to pass the rest of the trials, then she will also disappear from this death gate. ”
Lu Beiyou lowered his head and caressed the dagger in his hand, and said gently: ”I am unable to marry you, but are you willing to stay by my side?”
The white dagger suddenly emitted a ray of light, and a clear sword hum reverberated in the air.
Lu Beiyou finally revealed a smile on his face, ”Then from now on, can you call me 'Lu Yao'?”
The dagger let out another joyous cry and disappeared into his sleeve.
Lu Beiyou finally heaved a sigh of relief, and expelled the worry from his mind. If he had to make up for his previous mistakes, then her accompanying her might be the best method he could possibly come up with right now.
Lu Beiyou raised his head and looked at the door beside Li Luoshen, ”Let me ask you, can you tell me if I can walk out alive?”
Li Luoshen was silent for a long time before he said, ”I am just the embodiment of the rules of this Gate of Death, and I will only appear on this level. As for what you will encounter later, I cannot tell you.”
Lu Beiyou nodded, extended his hand and caressed the dagger in his sleeve, walking towards the white door in large strides.
When Lu Beiyou disappeared, a golden figure suddenly appeared beside Li Luoshen.
”How is it?”
”Not too bad.”
The golden figure nodded, ”It looks like you've completed your task.”
Li Luoshen nodded, let out a sigh of relief and smiled, ”Yes, my mission is completed.”
As he spoke, his figure gradually disappeared from the space. The golden figure didn't say anything, only looking at the white door, ”Brat! You have to do your best! ”
