"Master, you're back." A boy of about seventeen or eighteen years old came out of the village.
The boy had dark skin, but was very strong. He also had scars on his hands, which he probably got from doing farm work.
"Okay, Xiao Shi, help me get this kid inside."
Then, Xiao Shi took Bai Xuan from Shen Ye's hands, and the two of them helped him walk inside, completely ignoring Shen Ye.
The surroundings were dark and gloomy, so Shen Ye dared not fall behind. The two masters and disciples were walking too fast, and Shen Ye could only barely keep up by running.
When we arrived at Master Huang's house, I don't know what time it was. Anyway, there was no sun, and the sky was dark and gloomy.
You stay here for a while, I need to go and take care of something with Xiao Shi.
Some time after Master Huang and his disciples left, the room grew even colder, feeling as if it were in a hospital morgue.
When Shen Ye woke up, Bai Xuan was still asleep, and his face had turned ashen.
A sense of foreboding flashed through his mind, and he whispered by the bedside, "Xuan, it's time to get up."
There was no response. Shen Ye bent down to shake Bai Xuan's hand and found that his hand was as cold as frost, his whole body was stiff, and his face was bluish-gray. He didn't look like a living person at all.
"Ah~!" Shen Ye cried out, collapsing to the ground with a thud, his eyes fixed on Bai Xuan, his body trembling uncontrollably.
How could this happen? Why did it have to be like this?
For Shen Ye, this night seemed to never end. The light shining on his face was like a thin layer of frost, freezing all his emotions.
When Shen Ye saw Bai Xuan's pale gray face, his breathing seemed to stop.
Those icy, frost-like hands made Shen Ye feel as if his heart had been splashed with sulfuric acid, the corrosive pain almost killing him.
"Xuan!" Bai Xuan stood up helplessly, shaking him, her eyes suddenly flashing with terror.
How could God treat such a good boy like Bai Xuan like this?
Shen Ye couldn't believe it. Just a few hours ago, Bai Xuan was alive and kicking, but now she was a lifeless corpse, with blood still oozing from her nose, eyes, ears and mouth.
Shen Ye panicked completely and felt extremely distressed.
"Your friends have all suffered misfortune because of you, why do you still want to live?" A voice suddenly came from all directions in the room, and the speaker was nowhere to be seen.
"See all this? Next up is another of your good friends, hahahahahaha."
Is my best friend next?
Is he referring to Shangguan Rui?
No, we can't let Shangguan Rui get implicated any further.
Shen Ye shouted loudly at his surroundings, "Who are you? What do you want? What did you do to my friend?"
"Only if you die will your friends be safe. You certainly don't want your friends to die for you, right?"
The voice continued to echo in the air, its tone even becoming somewhat mournful.
After hearing this, Shen Ye kept trying to determine the truthfulness of what was said. Would they really be alright if I died?
He looked down at Bai Xuan; the person who spoke was clearly targeting him.
Shen Ye hated himself for being useless, for not having the ability to contend with this person. The only way to save Shangguan Rui now was to die.
"Don't believe this voice and do anything foolish."
Just as Shen Ye was about to respond to that voice, Jiang Chen's voice suddenly rang in his ears.
