Without another word, she sent the puppet to scout ahead.

”You can save her once, but you can't save her for the rest of her life.” Han Yu's face was expressionless as she coldly kicked away the young maid who was crying uncontrollably at her feet. She didn't have any sympathy for him.

Luo Lingwei gripped her sleeve arrows tightly and looked at the young lady, who shook her head to let her see the young maid's eyes.

Seeing the undisguised hatred in her eyes, Luo Lingwei felt powerless.

Although the young maid was a victim, the coldness in her eyes didn't match up to the temperature of the person who used violence. No one can save a man who chooses to exile himself.

”Let's go.” Luo Lingwei shook her head dejectedly and placed the jade pendant on her waist on the ground before turning around and following the steps of her master.

Although she was crying, her eyes were like those of a hungry wolf, filled with the unwillingness to lose and hatred towards the world. The negative emotions hidden in the depths of her heart caused Luo Lingwei to be alarmed, as if she could burst out and tear someone to shreds at any time.

Luo Lingwei thought about her previous framing and indifferently followed the crowd. She was not a saint, and she would not be kind enough to save a viper that harbored malice toward anyone. She did not want to experience the lessons of Mr. Dongguo and the wolf.

Not only did the young maid hate the person who did such a thing, she also hated herself for pulling her out of the quagmire.

Humans were like this. A hatred without real value was worse than complaining about a good will that just happened to pass by.

”Why do I feel disappointed?” Sensing that Luo Lingwei's mood was low, Han Yu stood in front of Luo Lingwei, blocking her way.

Luo Lingwei was startled by the sudden appearance of that human face, but she bitterly smiled and shook her head.

”Why do you think people become like this?” Luo Lingwei asked him.

Initially, she felt that this was only possible in the face of supreme power. However, the reality was not as beautiful as she had imagined. It was as if the more blood one experienced, the darker one became.

Han Yu was slightly surprised that she would ask such a question. After pondering for a moment, he replied, ”Perhaps this is the real world, the world hidden underneath Chun and Jingming Hai Qinghe.”

Luo Lingwei recalled the debate topic that she had taught him in university. Whether one was born to be kind or evil. At that time, she believed that people had a good nature in the beginning, but now, she suddenly wavered.

”It's not necessarily a good thing to overthink.” At some point in time, she had become the guide, so she stopped and patted Luo Lingwei's arm in a comforting manner.

”We're here.”

Luo Lingwei raised her head to look at the tall and big memorial archway in front of her. The memorial archway had really aged. The ground beneath his feet was covered with fine moss and rocks. His body also had traces of aging.

A string of tattered paper lanterns hung from the old archway, swaying in the night breeze. The paintings on the lanterns had already faded, and only a small ball of faint yellow light could be seen from the dim light of the lanterns.

There was a nest of crows on the same old locust tree beside him. Due to the disturbance of the Golden Feast of the Bright Night, crows were squishing in the branches.

Han Yu and Eunuch Wu seemed to be accustomed to this, and they walked into the alleyway with gentle steps.

Luo Lingwei took a deep breath and followed them.

The alleyway was not as noisy and peaceful as he had expected. Instead, it was deathly silent. The narrow alleyway was filled with broken bones and limbs. It was clear that they had just experienced an abnormally intense slaughter. Luo Lingwei almost fainted from the smell of blood as she spat at Han Yu.

A man's mouth is deceiving!

”Here... What exactly happened? ”

Luo Lingwei, who was trying her best to hold in the urge to vomit, roughly counted the number of corpses in the alleyway that was less than a hundred meters wide.

It truly was killing a person in ten steps, unstoppable for a thousand miles.
