Memories are like ever-blooming stone flowers, yet only the self believes them to be eternal. Ultimately, what they bring is the ruthlessness of reincarnation; perhaps no one will wait this time.
"We meet again. How are you all? He's with you too, isn't he?" Jinwu asked indifferently, his bluntness being typical of his personality.
Mo Chen glanced at Jin Wu. Ten years had passed, and his appearance hadn't changed at all. However, after that election, his eyes seemed to have become sharper, giving people a sense of oppression...
Since regaining consciousness, Mo Chen has learned about Leng Shaohan's situation through Gu Liyan's memory corridor. He understands that this was an inevitable tragedy...
Leng Shaohan is that person's reincarnation. He was destined from the beginning to be reborn and die for Gu Liyan. Even after several reincarnations, he will eventually die for Gu Liyan. Thinking of the rules of reincarnation, Mo Chen's face darkened.
Seeing Mo Chen's gloomy face, Jin Wu had a bad feeling and hurriedly asked:
"What happened to him? Tell me! How is Leng Shengjun? Tell me quickly!"
“Yes, Mo Chen, just say what’s on your mind. If Young Master Leng is in trouble, we can help!” Jin Yi said.
Mo Chen raised his head and looked at the two of them expressionlessly:
"I'm sorry, I wasn't aware that you were unaware of Leng Shaohan's passing..."
At this point, Jinwu shuddered. "No way! No way! How could Leng Shengjun, who is so powerful, die? You're lying to me! He won't die!"
"Mo Chen, you must be joking." Jin Yi's expression also turned sour upon hearing Mo Chen's words. "Young Master Leng possesses the Frost Domain, and there are only a handful of people in this world who can defeat him!"
Mo Chen looked up at the two of them with disdain. Did they think all the strong were immortal? Didn't they know that even Gu Liyan was just a mortal?
Mo Chen had never liked such foolish people, and coldly said:
“Indeed, they are few and far between, but Gu Liyan can do it!”
The two looked at Mo Chen in astonishment upon hearing this.
"What do you mean by that?" Jinwu's blank gaze suddenly turned cold.
"Don't you understand? Do I have to explain it to you clearly?" Mo Chen narrowed his eyes and glanced coldly at Jinwu, becoming somewhat impatient.
Jin Yi's expression changed slightly, and he hurriedly reminded him, "Mo Chen! Don't talk nonsense!"
"I never lie!" Mo Chen squinted at Jin Yi. "There are some things you should know: the one who killed Leng Shaohan was Gu Liyan!"
"Aaaaah—I'll kill you!" Upon hearing Mo Chen's words, the Golden Crow flew into a rage and roared as it pounced on Mo Chen.
Mo Chen sneered, "Hmph, overestimating yourself!"
Riding the wind, manipulating the wind, Mo Chen dodged the Golden Crow's attacks as if playing in water.
Jin Yi stood aside, watching the two fight without intervening.
Over the past ten years, he has been with Jinwu, waiting for the person they were waiting for. They have developed a brotherly bond, but because Mo Chen is Gu Liyan's brother, he no longer has the right to interfere.
As an observer, Xuan Qing'er watched the two of them fight evenly, one attacking and the other defending. She immediately pointed at Mo Chen and said, "Hey! Why are you so long-winded when you're killing someone! He's going to kill you with every punch! If you don't finish this soon, I'll do it for you!"
Upon hearing Xuan Qing'er's words, Mo Chen remembered that his mission was to "annihilate them all," and his gaze immediately turned cold, revealing his murderous intent.
Upon seeing this, Jin Yi instinctively warned Jin Wu, "Be careful!"
But it was too late to warn him. Mo Chen flipped his hand, and the Peach Blossom Fan appeared out of thin air. The fan blades sliced through the Golden Crow's throat, and a trail of blood immediately seeped from the Golden Crow's throat.
Jinwu clutched his throat in disbelief, hot blood seeping from his palm. Jinwu swayed slightly and knelt down in front of Mo Chen.
Looking at Mo Chen, who had killed him, Jinwu's body trembled slightly, and he clenched his teeth tightly, refusing to breathe his last.
Seeing the unwilling look in Jinwu's eyes, Mo Chen spoke calmly:
"In this life, you two, master and servant, are destined not to be together through life and death, but I have the ability to leave a bond between you before your next reincarnation, hoping that you can meet again in the next life... Of course, I also hope that you will not meet Gu Liyan again in the next life!"
Upon hearing Mo Chen's words, the corners of Jinwu's mouth slightly turned up, and its body immediately collapsed, slowly closing its eyes—
That should be enough!
Seeing Jinwu dead, Jin Yi's eyes trembled slightly, and he looked at Mo Chen with fear. "Mo Chen, you...you actually killed him?"
Mo Chen's gaze swept indifferently over the golden crow on the ground, and he said coldly, "I am freeing him."
He raised his head, looked into Jin Yi's terrified eyes, and spoke coldly:
"In the past ten years, time has stood still for you two. The chain of fate has ceased to move. Living has become nothing more than an endless cycle, utterly meaningless!"
Upon hearing Mo Chen's words, Jin Yi suddenly realized what was happening, and her finger trembled slightly as she pointed at Mo Chen and spoke:
"I get it! I understand! You didn't come back to see us, you came back to kill us, didn't you!"
Mo Chen closed his paper fan and nodded without hesitation. "That's right! The mission is to eliminate those in this world who are about to leave the cycle of reincarnation!"
"Ha! Hahaha... I, Jin Yi, thought that meeting you again was fate, and even thought of entrusting the safety of the Ancient Sage to you. I never expected that in the end, we wouldn't even be friends!" Jin Yi covered his face, tears streaming through his fingers. This is what one-sided affection is like!
If he and Mo Chen aren't even friends, then what are Gu Liyan, Mo Chen's friend?
A friend of a friend is not a friend, that is—
