So he looked at the little prince and said nothing.

Just by extending his hand, he healed the injured white fox.

...Before your end comes, healing this insignificant wound for your white fox is the last thing I can do.

Outside the peach tree, there are still peach trees. Outside the thick palace wall, there are still palace walls. Outside the fate, there is still fate. No one can escape, no one can leave.

The little prince stood in a daze among the flying white flakes, with only the fragrance of peach blossoms remaining in his nose.

The melting snow fell, and there was no trace of the white-haired man in the White Jade Pavilion.

As the little prince grew up, he always met the Imperial Master under the peach tree.

Others could not find it even if they looked for it deliberately, but the little prince could find it just by walking around.

The Imperial Master would always ask him if he was afraid, but he would always answer that he was not.

Because I know, I am not afraid. Because I don’t plan to run away, I am not afraid. Because I am ready to face my fate and know what will happen to me in the end, I am not afraid.

The Imperial Master always looked at him with a slightly sad look in his eyes, as if he was always hesitating whether to save him. As long as he was taken out of the imperial city, nothing would happen.

But, in the end, he only heard the national teacher talking to himself.

"This is already your best destiny..."

In the myriad destinies that Li Guoshi could see, no ending was better than this one. Even if he took the little prince out, when Xiao Jingsan took control of the government and cleaned up the mess, the little prince would still go back of his own accord. Fate was like a lock around his neck, even if it was broken, it would shatter all the bones and tendons.

Because he is such a good person.

As the day of his premonition approached, the little prince came to see him for the last time.

"Yuheng, I want a promise."

In the White Jade Pavilion, the white-haired man slowly turned his head.

"If the person who replaces me really comes, when he wants to escape, when he doesn't want to take on my responsibilities, you can take him away, and run away as far as possible. If he has any ideas to break the situation, try to agree to them."

The little prince's eyes were clear:

"He is not from our era. He should not have to fulfill my responsibilities just because he possessed me. He is innocent, and I respect his thoughts. Can you... promise me, Yuheng?"

The wine brewed from peach blossoms is fragrant.

He stared intently at the little prince, who had grown taller.

"……good."

He didn't know why his voice was so hoarse.

He had obviously seen thousands and millions of people and witnessed the changes of dozens of generations. He didn't know why this teenager could cause such a great shock to his heart.

They sat across the table and had a last drink.

The little prince seemed drunk, talking about the kite outside the palace, the palace maids, and the prosperous times. His alcohol tolerance was very poor until he fell asleep. Li Guoshi slowly got up and personally sent him to the high building.

The night was dark today. He held the boy's body and walked up the stairs step by step, and walked into the dark room, as if he was sending the boy to hell with his own hands.

"...You are more ruthless than me." Xiao Jingsan said this with a smile while holding the chain. There were tears in his smile.

“……” Master Li remained silent and said nothing.

He walked out of the tall building and down the stairs step by step. The remaining aroma of wine in the air gradually spread and dyed his snow-white cheeks red. He tilted his neck to look at the sky. There were no stars or moon tonight, and he could no longer see Chen Niang's eyes.

The evening breeze blew up his snow-white hair and blew away the remaining peach blossoms on his head.

He felt an intense pain that came suddenly, as if it was going to tear his heart apart.

If there is another world outside this world, will there be such a ruthless Li Mingyue who would personally send his closest person to the guillotine in order to wait for a savior?

He doesn't know.

He didn't know why a young man's fantasy about a prosperous world could have such a profound impact on him. He clearly knew that it was impossible to achieve.

He didn't know why he was reluctant to drink the last glass of wine with the boy.

He didn't know why he suddenly burst into tears.

“…”

Strange, distressed, long-lost, confusing... tears. They made him feel deeply confused and puzzled. They flowed the moment he walked out of the room and greeted the evening breeze.

“…Huh.”

So, for a hundred years, the white-haired imperial master let out a low, puzzled sigh. It seemed that he had not expected that he would shed tears.

He should have rejected the little prince's request. If the alien used his promise as a threat and asked him to help him escape, the little prince's sacrifice would be in vain. But... he was still sentimental.

He shouldn't be sentimental.

You shouldn't be sentimental about the bright moon.

A savior should not be sentimental.

…

[Diamond pattern: [“Yuheng, do you still remember the promise you made to me?”]]

…

…

Su Mingan turned around, with a lot of information about how to use the talismans in his mind. He knew the information about the gods, and he knew... what to do next.

He stood silently under the palace wall, peach petals brushing against his cheeks.

Tonight the stars are vast and the sky is full of floating lights.

Outside the palace wall, there could be faint sounds of night watchmen, the clear sound of gongs, and... butterflies and kites flying low.

Li Mingyue would not fulfill his promise, Su Mingan would not go to Penglai Island, and Bai Lian would not destroy the city. So, everything became silent. That kind of...long-lost, peaceful, and silent silence.

"Yuheng." Su Mingan called out, but the white-haired man no longer responded to him.

...Yuheng.

Everything around Su Mingan began to freeze.

"Back to reality."

Su Mingan took a deep breath and opened his eyes.

It was still the familiar birthplace - Su Wensheng's home. Dilapidated doors and windows, old calendars, and patched schoolbags.

He wanted to take off his helmet, but suddenly his heart trembled and his eyes shifted slightly——

Beside the bed stood a pure white figure.

Those cold, light eyes were almost as close to him as ever.

"I've been waiting for you for a long time, Su Mingan."
