“There is no reason not to follow your heart. You care about the Six Realms and want them to be at peace. You don’t want the people to suffer. You have the warmest things in the world in your heart, which is also what I want to get close to and protect. That’s why I decided to make changes with you two years ago, starting from within the Demon Clan. We will do our best to reduce killing and overcome the bloodlust and savagery in our bones. These are all well thought out and I think they are very necessary.”
Aoqian realized that Song Xiwei had misunderstood him.
He had no excuses; in his eyes, whether the Six Realms were at peace or destroyed depended solely on Song Xiwei.
As long as Song Xiwei cannot let go of the Six Realms, he will do everything in his power to protect them together with her.
But the premise is that no one in the Six Realms may take her away from him.
The reason he allowed the elders to delay without urging him to act, despite the events that occurred a month ago, was primarily because...
Some deaths were necessary, because those people deserved to die, because Aoqian inadvertently learned that one of those people had once received a gift from Song Xiwei.
He was extremely dissatisfied even with something as insignificant as a kettle.
The kettle must have been destroyed after the incident.
Although he did not explicitly authorize the massacre that allowed them to fight and even destroy each other, he tacitly approved it.
They thought they could get away with this without anyone noticing, but it still alerted her.
"What do you plan to do with those troublesome branches?" Since becoming Aoqian's older brother, Song Xiwei hadn't spoken to Aoqian so sternly in a long time.
Aoqian lowered his head, looking like he was obediently admitting his mistake. "I'll listen to you, brother. If you want them to live, they can live."
"Do you think those who were slaughtered by those branches were innocent?" Song Xiwei asked again.
Aoqian's heart skipped a beat and he wondered if Song Xiwei had figured something out.
He never thought Song Xiwei was someone who could be easily fooled.
"I don't know. I don't recognize those people. Maybe they provoked our demon branch first..." Ao Qian's eyes darted around, avoiding looking directly into Song Xiwei's eyes.
“Among those cultivators, there are people I know,” Song Xiwei suddenly said.
Aoqian's heart sank, and he looked at Song Xiwei in a panic.
"I...I don't know..."
"You really don't know?" Song Xi narrowed his eyes. "There was one who had gone through thick and thin with me. He lent me his last drop of water, which saved my life. Later, to thank him, I gave him an even more valuable water jug. Not long ago, he learned that I was in the Demon Realm and contacted me telepathically, saying that he would like to meet me sometime. But thinking about it carefully, it seems that I lost contact with him after that."
Aoqian's face turned deathly pale.
He was speechless.
Did I do something wrong?
His jealousy, some selfish motive of his...
It seems to happen invisibly...
"He might still be alive. Can I try to save him?" I'm sorry, he was just confused for a moment.
Aoqian suddenly wanted to save that cultivator no matter what.
I'm willing to pay any price.
He couldn't let Song Xiwei, who knew the truth, develop a rift with him because of this person.
Song Xiwei simply looked at Aoqian and said, "Your health hasn't fully recovered. I'll personally go to handle this matter."
Aoqian wanted to say something, but seeing that Song Xiwei was determined to leave, he had no choice but to compromise, "Alright, I'll have someone take you there."
No sooner had Song Xiwei left than Ao Qian secretly rushed to the branch site.
He sent a telepathic message to the people who were supposed to take Song Xiwei there, ordering them to stall Song Xiwei for time.
If you know you've done something wrong, correct it promptly.
We absolutely cannot let Song Xiwei clean up this mess.
When Ao Qian arrived, thankfully the cultivator was still alive.
As the monk lay dying, he heard someone apologize to him: "I'm sorry, please, you must live."
