352 I’m Here Now 1 (1/2)

In the hill behind the Phoenix Academy, a new unmarked grave lay. Beneath the soil, there was no body, but only a pile of broken snake bones.

Rong Ruo brought Jun Wu Xie to come before the unmarked grave. Jun Wu Xie stood before it and stared at the blank gravestone, her eyes expressionless.

SInce her rebirth, her hands had been stained full of blood. To protect the Jun Family's sanctity, and to ensure that the Lin Palace stood tall within the Kingdom of Qi, she had killed many people.

She did not kill the black robed man, but that man had died because of her.

Yet she could not even provide him with a decent burial as his body had blown to bits. Within this grave, there was only a pile of snake bones.

Jun Wu Xie owed him her life. Although he had done it under Jun Wu Yao's orders to protect her, she felt responsible for his death.

To protect her, he had ended his own life.

Is this what loyalty is?

Jun Wu Xie stood before the unmarked grave for a long time, and the wind in the hills blew at her long dark hair. She raised her head and looked into the light rain that had started to fall, and the rain ran down her body, drenching her completely.

Her body turned cold, but was nothing compared to what her heart was feeling.

”Let's go back first.” Rong Ruo looked at Jun Xie with sympathy. Jun Xie was still very weak and was now drenched in the cold rain. His petite frame might not be able to withstand it.

Jun Wu Xie did not reply and only continued to stare into the sky. The raindrops splattered on her face and ran into her eyes. The cold rain felt refreshing but the chill was beginning to seep into her bones.

”If I do not keep my eye on you, how much more torture would you put yourself under?” A deep enigmatic voice sounded suddenly.

Jun Wu Xie's body stiffened and before she could turn her head, she was wrapped into a warm and familiar embrace.
