And at that time, Feng Xue was actually just a... very ordinary girl.

Though she was silent and confused, cold and stubborn, she also possessed a kindness that anyone with a discerning eye could see. In other words, she was like an ordinary person among the masses, perhaps insignificant to the outside world, but in this deadly place, she shone like a target in the night.

"Most people here came to this deadly place voluntarily, and their minds aren't quite right to begin with," Xie Chuncan commented sarcastically. "Anyone 'ordinary' from outside would be dead in an hour if they were put here. So you can imagine how unusual Feng Xue seemed to us back then."

"She was like a walking mockery to us. In fact, I thought she was just trying to trick us." Xie Chuncan narrowed his eyes, "Especially after she said she had volunteered to come to this deadly place."

Luo Jiujiang could imagine the scene: the people in this deadly land killed and were killed, each struggling to survive and cultivate. Each one either had a deep grievance or had no place to stay in the outside world. They all wanted to get a ticket to advancement here. And Feng Xue actually took the initiative to tear up that ticket and ran here... Regardless of the reason, she would definitely not be welcomed at that time.

"And Feng Ren didn't even have the last name Feng back then. Even though she'd been here four years, none of us knew her name. We just referred to her as 'The Swift Swordswoman.' She was still a child when she arrived, but her sword was already swift, her murderous intent was strong, and her brain had already been tampered with."

Luo Jiujiang: "..." He looked carefully at Xie Chuncan's expression to make sure he was not joking at all.

"God knows how they met... Anyway, Feng Ren got a name and started calling Feng Xue 'sister'. But I don't believe that. Xiao Ren's behavior is too easy to see through. She is a killing machine trained by someone. Forget calling her 'sister'. Even if she calls Feng Xue 'granddaughter', it won't change the fact that the title actually means 'master'."

"Brother Xie wants to kill Miss Xiao Ren just for this matter? Because you can't bear to see her recognize someone else as her master?" Luo Jiujiang pondered for a moment and felt that this reason was very similar to the idea of ​​"ending you before you lose your courage."

"No, I was just a bastard who was blinded by greed and eager to wag his tail for others." Xie Chuncan gave himself a very sharp evaluation, and a hint of sarcasm appeared on his face, as if he wanted to mock his past self across time and space. "Back then, as long as I could go out and get revenge, let alone kill people or set fires, even if I had to kneel down and bark like a dog, I would do it."

Bloodshot veins entangled Xie Chuncan's eyeballs, and his gaze became colder than ever before. He repeated, "Revenge was the only reason I was still alive at that time. To achieve this goal, I would do anything at any cost."

The author has something to say: Qianling: I am willing to give up everything in this palace and this world, and all my devotion in this life, to win the heart of the one I love most.

Jiujiang: Okay, Qianling, then I’m willing to pack up all my gay friends and give them all to you, my best friend, as a dowry!

Qianling: ...No, thank you. You really didn't mean it?
