Chapter 840 - 326: Don’t Fall Before Dawn (Part 3)
Zhuge Hong asked,
"How... how do you know?"
Guan Xin said, "Because I can feel it, the great path taken from her is the Anger Demon Dao."
Zhuge Hong stubbornly said,
"I don’t care! An An is still An An!"
Luo Qingyao clearly cared more about Fan Wubing’s situation,
"Xiaohong, we still need to find your master."
"But what about An An? Are we just going to leave her here alone?"
Guan Xin said,
"I’ll stay to take care of her, you go find Young Master Fan."
Zhuge Hong stared straight at Guan Xin, and Guan Xin did not shy away from her gaze.
After a moment, instinct told Zhuge Hong that this person was trustworthy,
"Alright then."
Luo Qingyao and Zhuge Hong quickly left.
Guan Xin carefully checked An An’s condition, furrowing her brows as she thought,
"Strange... what was she killed by? Not a single trace left... Jiang Sha, what other unknown methods do you have?"
She recalled the words Jiang Sha had said to her, sat down against the pavilion’s pillar, and her heart gradually became turbulent.
She couldn’t help but ask herself,
"Do I... really care about Wuyue? Isn’t this just concern and affection between friends? Wuyue...she naturally likes women... how odd!"
Guan Xin clutched her chest, finding it hard to breathe,
"Why do I feel a bit happy? Just because Wuyue likes women?"
Guan Xin was in a turmoil of emotions.
She closed her eyes, and simultaneously placed the two peers she admired most in her mind.
One was Fan Wubing, the other was Ye Wuyue.
Recalling the figure of Fan Wubing, she found that her admiration for him was one of respect and longing, because he had changed her... he was like a beacon in the lost, as soon as he lit up in the night, he would immediately attract everyone’s gaze.
And what about Ye Wuyue?
Guan Xin thought about the time spent with Ye Wuyue, her face, her smile, her every move.
As the General Director, Ye Wuyue was full of majesty, upright and just, never double-minded, almost the embodiment of "authority and justice."
But as a woman, Ye Wuyue was cheerful, like the sun, warm to others. She had a side that was as tender as water, and also a charming and playful side. She would accept Fan Wubing’s affection with peace of mind and would strive to reciprocate the care from others. Yet, with her own emotions, she was very reserved, cautious, fearing to offend anyone.
"So, this is how I see her..."
Guan Xin gently touched her lips, turned her head to look at the crimson night, the brilliant starry sky that the blood color couldn’t conceal.
Fan Wubing shrouded the city in blood, while Du Changge illuminated it with brilliant starlight.
A tear rolled down the corner of Guan Xin’s eye.
While she was lost in thought, a voice that made her heart race suddenly sounded at the end of the courtyard,
"Guan Xin? What are you doing here?"
Guan Xin shivered, dumbfounded, looking at Ye Wuyue,
"Wuyue."
Ye Wuyue said, "I’m here looking for someone, didn’t expect you to be here." She came forward, saw An An lying beside her, this child she had seen before, often appearing in this manor, "What happened to her?"
Guan Xin said, "She got a bit hurt, but she’s okay now, just sleeping."
"I see..." Ye Wuyue didn’t ask much more, gazing at Guan Xin, suddenly paused, quickly went to her, and wiped the tears at the corner of her eyes, "Why are you crying, did someone bully you? Could it be... that mastermind?!"
Guan Xin was startled, recoiled a little, and laughed, "No... no problem, it’s rain! Don’t worry, that mastermind, I’ve already dealt with. Look, those out-of-control Demon Cultivators in the city have recovered, haven’t they?"
"Right, right! All those who died have been brought back to life!" Ye Wuyue said excitedly, "The destroyed buildings are restored too. Did you do this?"
"Probably..." Guan Xin couldn’t possibly speak of the Primordial Ancestor being the Greedy Demon Lord.
Not out of Wenxin Heaven’s stance, but merely personal wishes, she also hoped that in people’s hearts, the Primordial Ancestor was someone worthy of reverence, and not a Demon Cultivator.
Ye Wuyue hugged Guan Xin tightly,
"Guan Xin, you’re amazing! There’s truly nothing you can’t do! I knew it! You’re my most trustworthy friend! Without you, I might have given up struggling long ago. Thank goodness... thank goodness I have you!"
Guan Xin felt Ye Wuyue’s body warmth, smelled her scent.
She trembled as she raised her hand, wanting to hug Ye Wuyue too.
But Ye Wuyue quickly left her embrace and eagerly asked,
"By the way, did you see where the owner of this manor went? I’m looking for her!"
Guan Xin asked,
"Who’s the owner of this manor?"
Ye Wuyue blushed slightly and whispered,
"To be honest... the sister I’ve always mentioned is the owner of this manor. Just now... just now, through the Unruffled Platform, I felt as if all the Demon Cultivators in the Immortal Continent had been wiped out. So... I want to find her."
"Find her..." Guan Xin lowered her head.
Ye Wuyue giggled, "Previously, I said, once all the Demon Cultivators were eliminated, I’d... express my feelings. Hey, do you think I’m being too hasty, could I scare her?"
Guan Xin, in the shadow, said, "No, you are excellent and... adorable."
Ye Wuyue sniffed, "Even though I might get rejected, I don’t want to give up! Guan Xin, you’ll support me, won’t you?"
"Mm."
"I knew it! You truly are my best, best friend! Love you to death!" Ye Wuyue exclaimed as she hugged Guan Xin again.
Guan Xin found it hard to catch her breath, quickly said,
"I think I just saw her heading towards the Immortal Palace City Tower. Better hurry, or you might miss her."
"Miss her?" Ye Wuyue paused for a second, but not thinking further, turned to leave, "Thanks!"
After watching Ye Wuyue leave, Guan Xin looked at the Changkong again. The climate in April gradually carried a hint of dryness.
She murmured,
"Spring is coming to an end, huh."
