Xi Yun looked at Sui Xin leaning against the wall, and walked shakily to sit down next to him.

She gently touched her cheek, and tears fell silently.

She wrapped her arms around his neck and leaned against his chest, just like always.

All around was silent, except for the howling wind and the sound of Xi Yun's tears falling to the ground.

"Sui Xin, I'm sorry for making you suffer so much all this time," Xi Yun said, her voice trembling.

"I want to stay with you forever, but I don't want anything to happen to you," Xi Yun said, her voice breaking with sobs as she held Sui Xin's hand tightly, unwilling to let go.

Yes, after more than ten years of companionship, how could I bear to leave all of a sudden?

"After I'm gone, you must take good care of yourself and keep living."

"Don't wait for me,"

Xi Yun looked up at Sui Xin, her eyes filled with reluctance and tenderness.

They lowered their heads and shared a deep, passionate kiss, only separating after a long while.

Their foreheads touched, and Xi Yun closed her eyes, savoring the last warmth.

"It's time," the woman's voice finally came through.

With a slight tremor, Xi Yun opened her eyes. "Sui Xin, I'm leaving. Take care of yourself."

She was saying her final goodbye to him.

He gently placed Suixin against the wall, and as if lost in thought, walked towards the woman, occasionally turning back to look behind him.

The woman sighed and used the same method to bring Xiyun back to her original spot.

...

Not long after they left, the sky suddenly changed, and the glass-like barrier above them shattered, revealing a small opening directly above Sui Xin.

With a "snap," as if a knife had suddenly sliced ​​through, the space around Sui Xin was directly cut open by a square beam of light, and part of the wall surrounding him, along with the Black Tower, was separated from the space.

Then, it vanished without a trace, leaving only the pit in the ground and the disappeared corner of the wall.

...

...

"Young friend, it's time to wake up," an old man's voice came to his ear.

Sui Xin slowly opened her eyes, and a golden light flashed across them.

He was sitting in the center of a barrier, surrounded by a golden expanse. Many familiar patterns spread across the barrier, and a plump old man in a white robe stood not far away, smiling at him.

Xi Yun was nowhere to be seen.

"Senior, where is this? Do you see the girl next to me?" Sui Xin asked, standing up.

The injury on my back seems to have healed, and now I feel energetic all over, as if I have inexhaustible strength.

But Yun'er isn't here?

"No, you're all alone," the old man replied.

He and the woman split up; one would advise Xiyun, and the other would look after Suixin—that was their plan. However, he didn't really know whether this was a good or bad thing, and now wasn't the time to talk about it.

The reasons for doing this were twofold: firstly, to follow her heart, given that Xi Yun's fate was indeed extremely unfortunate; secondly, for Xi Yun's sake, she had her own mission...

"I brought you here because I have a few questions to ask you," the old man said, swaying as he dragged his obese body over.

"Senior, I have something to do. Can we do it another time?" Sui Xin was in a hurry to find Xi Yun and didn't have time to waste or answer any questions.

"I'll send you away after you've asked your questions; otherwise, you won't be able to leave."

The old man's smile vanished, and he stared intently into Sui Xin's eyes. An immense pressure emanated from him, far more powerful than Zheng Qiao and the others, causing Sui Xin to involuntarily take a few steps back.

Old man,

He cursed under his breath.

However, he only thought about it in his heart before speaking, "Senior, please speak."

"That's more like it," the fat old man patted his large belly and withdrew his strength.

Without further ado, he asked directly, "When did your eyes start showing abnormalities?"

Startled for a moment, then came to her senses.

“It seems like it was four months ago,” he replied casually.

Did he come for his own eyes?

"Do you know what it's used for?" the old man asked again.

"Function? It's useless," he waved his hand casually, genuinely unaware of its purpose. Liang Jing had mentioned it was some kind of Dao principle or something.

"Haha, it seems you haven't figured it out yet," the fat old man laughed.

This is actually a good thing. It's still in a primitive and undeveloped state, so there are still options for its development direction.

"Don't worry, I won't make things difficult for you. I'm just here to give you something."

As he spoke, the old man took out a token and tossed it to Suixin.

The token looks weathered and worn, with the characters "Yu" and "Zhou" engraved on the front and back respectively. There is also a small mechanism on the token; a gentle press reveals that it can be pressed in.

"What is this?" Sui Xin asked, puzzled.

“Every night at eight o’clock, drip a drop of your blood, press the button on the token, and you will be teleported here. I will teach you some things,” the old man said.

"Huh? Can I not come?" Sui Xin instinctively wanted to refuse, but there was no such thing as a free lunch.

"Hehe, you decide for yourself. If you suddenly die from eye problems later, don't blame me," the old man joked.

"Is it that serious?" he muttered to himself.

"Hmph, it'll only be more serious than you think," the old man said.

"Okay, we'll talk about it later. Can you see me out now?" Sui Xin asked.

"Well, that's fine, but your little girlfriend should have already left," the old man said, his eyes darting away as he turned around.

"What do you mean?" Sui Xin asked, frowning.

“This… um… it is…” the old man stammered, unable to utter a single word for a long time.

Hearing this, Sui Xin stamped her feet impatiently and said, "Hurry up and tell me!"
