"No? Then answer me!" she said, getting a little impatient, and she probably understood what Sui Xin was thinking.

"I already said no," Sui Xin said, sounding somewhat impatient.

Fifth Brother was also startled; something felt off about this situation.

He grabbed Xiaoyun'er and disappeared from their sight.

As soon as the words left her mouth, Sui Xin regretted them.

Under Xi Yun's relentless questioning, coupled with his own inner turmoil, he subconsciously shouted out.

Before he could think any further, he felt warm tears falling onto his clothes.

"Yun'er, I..."

"Shut up!" Xi Yun roared, tears streaming down her face like rain. "Ye Suixin, put me down."

Sui Xin didn't move, and kept muttering, "I'm sorry."

"Isn't that right? You're going to abandon me sooner or later anyway, so what if we separate now?" As she spoke, Xi Yun became more and more agitated, and finally couldn't help but burst into tears.

Was it because I yelled at her? No.

She was worried about Suixin. She wasn't afraid of anything, except that Suixin would have to bear it all alone, and that he would leave without a word.

Take this incident for example; Suixin almost didn't make it back. How could I feel at ease leaving him alone out there?

Hearing Xi Yun's cries, Sui Xin felt extremely sad. He lifted Xi Yun's body, slowly turned around, and hugged her in his arms, gently patting her back.

The room was empty and quiet, with only Xi Yun's crying echoing in the air.

"Is it so hard to give me an answer?" Xi Yun cried as she slowly said, "I consider you the only one in my life, and I don't want to hide anything from you. What about you? Your actions, which you think are protecting me, only make me feel more guilty. Do you see me as a burden?"

"No, absolutely not," Sui Xin quickly denied.

"No? Then why do you want to hide even these small things from me? Let me tell you, Ye Suixin, life and death only have value to me when you exist. Otherwise, they are nothing!" Xi Yun shouted.

Sui Xin's body trembled, and Xi Yun's words kept echoing in his mind.

He naturally wouldn't consider Xiyun a burden, nor did he care about her life or death.

What should we do?

He seemed unable to find a satisfactory answer; neither keeping it a secret nor keeping it a secret was what he wanted.

Gradually, he began to doubt himself. In the end, it was all because he was not strong enough and did not have enough strength to protect Xiyun.

A myriad of thoughts intertwined, and the primordial spirit seemed to be thrown into a tangled mess. Then, the spiritual energy began to fluctuate, spreading in all directions like a flood breaking through a dam.

His cultivation level also began to decline due to the dissipation of spiritual energy, falling from the fifth level of True Essence to the fourth level... third level... second level... first level, until it stopped when he fell from the True Essence Realm to the True Spirit Realm.

At this moment, his body was in complete chaos. With the spiritual energy flowing backward, his blood and qi reversed their flow, and the few crystals floating above his sea of ​​qi seemed to lose their support and fell into his sea of ​​qi.

The black demonic seed seemed unusually active, transforming into countless black threads that seeped into Sui Xin's meridians...
