Yue Qingqiu emerged from the jade pendant, silently gazing at the corpses burning in the flames on the ground.
She never imagined things would develop to this point.
The woman in red took away Junlin's heart and Erha, leaving behind only a broken and dissipating body.
Yu Qingxue dragged her injured body to the ground, piling up the fragments of Junlin and holding them in her arms, her small hands constantly patting the flames on the fragments, trying to extinguish them.
Her tears kept falling, and they evaporated instantly when they landed on the flames.
But all she did was in vain.
The flames didn't even burn her; they simply and relentlessly consumed Junlin's body, as if deliberately making her witness this scene.
"Master...Master..."
Yu Qingxue kept shaking her head, tears blurring her vision, and the grief in her heart made her voice hoarse.
But she didn't care; she only wanted to keep her master, even if it was just a mutilated body.
but……
As the flames gradually dissipated, there was nothing left in front of her.
Her master didn't even leave behind a speck of dust.
The immense blow caused Yu Qingxue's vision to go black, and she collapsed to the ground, motionless.
This sudden accident startled Yue Qingqiu.
He quickly helped Yu Qingxue up and breathed a sigh of relief when he found that she had fainted because she couldn't bear the shock.
But the thought of what might happen after Yu Qingxue woke up gave Yue Qingqiu a headache.
This is really a big deal!
Yue Qingqiu looked around, placed Yu Qingxue on the ground, and began to struggle with what to do next.
Now that Junlin has been lost, she alone cannot protect Yu Qingxue.
"Master!"
Yu Qingxue suddenly woke up from her coma, but when she looked around, she couldn't find any trace of Jun Lin.
Then, Yu Qingxue's gaze fell on Yue Qingqiu, and she asked curiously, "Sister Qingqiu, where did Master go?"
Yue Qingqiu opened her mouth, but for a moment she didn't know how to answer.
Looking at Yu Qingxue's seemingly curious but actually desperate gaze, Yu Qingxue couldn't help but feel a pang of pity.
She understood that Yu Qingxue was actually quite clear about the situation, but she was simply unwilling to face it.
"Your master... has already passed away."
Yue Qingqiu finally revealed the truth. She didn't want to deceive Yu Qingxue, nor did she want Yu Qingxue to deceive her.
"You're lying!" Yu Qingxue suddenly became somewhat frantic, her eyes red as she looked at Yue Qingqiu. "Master is perfectly fine! I just saw him! Why are you cursing my master!"
"Calm down! He's already dead!"
"I'm very calm. My master is so strong, how could he possibly die? What makes you think he'll die..."
"I know, you always ask me if I like Shizun. You want to steal Shizun from me, right? You're dreaming! Shizun can only be mine!"
Yu Qingxue's gaze towards Yue Qingqiu was filled with murderous intent.
"What nonsense are you talking about!"
Yue Qingqiu felt a chill run down her spine. She realized that Yu Qingxue's emotions seemed abnormal, as if... she was going crazy.
Yu Qingxue actually wanted to kill her!
Yue Qingqiu was somewhat saddened. Yu Qingxue was a disciple she and Jun Lin had jointly trained, so seeing Yue Qingqiu in this state naturally made her feel bad.
Especially Yu Qingxue's murderous gaze caused her even more heartache.
"Look at yourself now, what's the use of being so crazy? Your master risked his life to protect you, and this is how you repay him?"
"Yue Qingqiu! Who do you think you are! What gives you the right to lecture me! No one but Master is worthy to lecture me!"
Yue Qingqiu was speechless after being rebuked, and could only silently look at Yu Qingxue. After a moment, she closed her eyes helplessly.
She knew that Yu Qingxue had deep feelings for Jun Lin, but she never expected that Jun Lin's death would turn Yu Qingxue into this state.
"Master..."
Yu Qingxue lay on the ground, tears streaming down her face. After venting her emotions, she had no choice but to face reality.
She wanted to deceive herself, but she would never forget the scene of Junlin's corpse slowly dissipating in front of her.
No matter how unwilling she was to accept it, she couldn't change reality.
If her master is dead... then what's the point of her living?
"Qingxue".
Yue Qingqiu looked at Yu Qingxue, but didn't know how to comfort her. Could she say that Jun Lin was actually not dead and that everything just now was an act?
That's ridiculous.
But looking at Yu Qingxue's lifeless eyes, she felt a pang of heartache. Those eyes, which were once as bright as a starry sea, were now dull and lifeless.
Yu Qingxue's eyes dimmed. She looked at the sky and felt that the originally clear sky seemed somewhat gloomy, and her soul seemed to be sinking continuously.
She seemed to be dying.
She couldn't help but wonder... if she were to die like this, would she be able to see her master again?
"Qingxue? Qingxue!"
Seeing that something was wrong, Yue Qingqiu quickly woke up Yu Qingxue.
This girl... actually wants to die!
Just a moment ago, Yu Qingxue's life force almost vanished.
Even after being awakened, Yu Qingxue's eyes were lifeless as she stared blankly at the sky, murmuring the words "Master".
Yes! Master, Your Majesty, reign supreme!
Yue Qingqiu racked her brains. She couldn't let Yu Qingxue continue like this, so she scolded her.
"You piece of trash! Jun Lin is dead, and instead of seeking revenge, you want to end your own life? If I were Jun Lin, I would regret taking you as my disciple! You are not worthy of being his disciple at all!"
Yue Qingqiu knew that her words might be a bit too much for Yu Qingxue, but she really had no other choice at the moment.
