His eyes held a hint of regret:

"The previous owner of this abandoned tower was Lan Moyan."

Upon hearing this,

Chen Anning's body trembled violently.

The hand gripping the desolate tower tightened slightly.

"Giving you this desolate tower was Lan Moyan's wish before she died," Bai Xu said in a low voice.

"He once said that he grew up in the Sword God Sect since birth. The Sword God Sect gave him life, raised him, and taught him. He has been all alone and has never repaid the Sword God Sect in any way over the years."

"If he dies one day, give this small tower to the Sword God Sect, and let us protect the Sword God Sect for another fifty years."

Upon hearing this,

Chen Anning lowered his head even further.

Tears fell onto my palm, tracing paths down the small pagoda...

Bai Xu looked at the trembling Chen Anning, unable to bear watching any longer, and turned his head away, saying softly:

"If the Sword God Sect needs anything in the future, just activate the small tower... We'll come."

Bai Xu's words pierced Chen Anning's heart.

His hand was gripping the small tower so tightly that he didn't even notice the spire cutting his hand.

Blood stained the brass-colored tower.

The elderly man, barely seventy years old, trembled all over, tears streaming down his face.

He choked up.

Stroking the small tower,

He glanced again at Lan Moyan lying on the ground.

His eyes were filled with tears.

His face was kind and gentle...

It was as if I could see Lan Moyan.

"Silly disciple, everything was done willingly by your master. You owe nothing, you don't owe anything..."

Life and death can happen in an instant; the departure of a loved one leaves a lifelong sorrow.

Chen Anning's calls went unanswered...

Bai Xu seemed reluctant to watch or listen any longer.

He walked very fast.

It was like running away.

He came to Ye Ran's side.

With a thought from Bai Xu

The little tower I gave to Ye Ran before

It floated out from Ye Ran's neck:

"Ye Ran, I had already considered this matter before the assessment. Today, I'm formally asking you about it."

Are you willing to join the "Wilderness"?
