Chapter 110: Ride or Die (2/2)

Thus, she hated Yang Wei's stubborn behavior but at the same time, admired him for being a true companion, one that will not leave them alone when the situation becomes dire.

Elder Jing turned her head around to look at how many stairs were left before it caught up with them where they would fall into the void.

Her complexion soon paled when there were only around 7 staircases left.

”Yang Wei, this is as far as you can help me,” Elder Jing said as she wiped his sweat slowly with her sleeves.

Afterward, she purposely used her true qi to fling away Yang Wei's hand that was holding her hand.

Yang Wei was dumbfounded as he quickly tried to lift her up again to ascend but became flabbergasted when he saw Elder Jing's eyes turned teary.

”E-Elder Jing?” Yang Wei said in a shocked tone.

Yang Wei quickly wiped some of the tears from Elder Jing with a disbelief expression. Never in his life would he imagine the headstrong and determined Elder Jing would be crying in front of him.

”Why are you tearing up, Elder Jing?” Yang Wei asked as he felt his heart tightening and his breathing became difficult.

Although he doesn't understand the feelings he gets, Yang Wei understood this had to do something with Elder Jing's sad emotion right now.

Elder Jing stared at Yang Wei deeply and started punching his chest lightly.

”Isn't this all your fault? I have told you numerous times to leave me already because I don't want to be a burden.” Elder Jing pouted as she tried her hardest to keep the tears in her eyes.

'I don't want the same to happen to my elder sister from back then. Why can't they just leave me alone to live for themselves?' Elder Jing cried inwardly as she recalled her elder sister's death because of her.

Yang Wei saw her saddening mood becoming worse as he knelt down and embraced Elder Jing tightly.

Afterward, Yang Wei started rubbing her back in hopes of calming her emotion down.

”Elder Jing, you should know by now about my personality.” Yang Wei spoke softly as he continued.

”Therefore, no matter how dire the situation is… there is never a chance for me to abandon my companion.”

”You said that but didn't you act like you could care less about your fellow sect disciples during the time when they were cornered by the Purple Scorpion Sect.” Elder Jing replied swiftly to deny his words.

Yang Wei chuckled softly as he nodded his head. Indeed, he showed zero care for them because they were only fellow sect disciples and none of them were close to him.

Hence, there wasn't a logical reason for him to risk his life for them.

However, Elder Jing is different. Without Elder Jing, Yang Wei doubted he would ever be able to have a chance in becoming a prominent cultivator.

”Based on our relationship ever since our first meeting, we are now in a ride or die relationship where none of us are willing to abandon each other.” Yang Wei smiled at Elder Jing.
