Chapter 157: No Reincarnation

"Take the jade and go up to Chengyuan Mountain. Do you have any regrets?"

The tip of the old man's thumb was cold. He held Shen Yu, just like he held him as a child more than ten years ago. Shen Yu's ears were buzzing, his body temperature dropped, and the depression in his heart became more and more intense.

……regret?

Who should regret?

Whose fault is it? His fault?

It's not his fault.

It's the whole world that is unfair to him.

Shen Yu grabbed the old man's robe tightly. There was blood clot in his throat, but he still managed to lie on his back: "No...it's not me..."

The old man sighed, and he hugged Shen Yu's body, as if he was blaming himself and feeling helpless: "Shou Yu, go somewhere else, this world... can no longer accommodate you."

"Cough..." Shen Yu couldn't stop coughing up blood. His heart, spleen and lungs were all broken. The serious illnesses that had accumulated over the years all broke out at this moment. He already had a premonition that his death was approaching.

"Go somewhere else and don't come back." The old man whispered something to Shen Yu. Shen Yu's vitality was rapidly lost and he gradually could not hear the language above.

"...In your next life, I hope you can be born into a good family and be a normal person... Go..."

Shen Yu's body had long been permeated by the chilly air. The wound on his broken arm continued to bleed, and he slowly lost consciousness. The sound of the wind blowing through the trees faded away in his ears, but his heart was still struggling, occasionally beating.

In the next life...will I be born into a good family?

What kind of life will I be born into? Where will I go?!

Blood flowed from the corners of Shen Yu's lips, and he almost bit the flesh on the inside of his mouth as he was dying.

The Kingdom of Yue was destroyed, but Xuan Lin was still alive. The palace walls collapsed, and the maids and eunuchs who had humiliated and imprisoned him for several years also fled in the chaos. His senior brother cut off one of his arms, and the mountain gate was tightly closed... Despite all these, his master still let him have a good life in the next life?

How to reincarnate? How can he reincarnate?

These people are alive and well. They may live a life of luxury in the future, hiding their identities and continuing their normal lives.

And he... was blind, had broken hands, and his face was covered with scars. He fled halfway across the country, but ultimately died tragically in the forest with this broken body.

"Come...back..." Shen Yu frowned as he gradually lost his five senses. His eyes were empty and he didn't know where to go. He just raised his head and kept muttering, "I...come...back..."

If he doesn't enter the cycle of reincarnation, he will be a ghost forever! Even if he goes somewhere else, he will remember everything in this life... One day, he will come back.

He wants to tear this fucked up world apart.

The old man was speechless. He held Shen Yu with his arms and slowly placed his palm on Shen Yu's forehead. Shen Yu's face was pale and his whole body was stiff. He didn't know when he had stopped breathing.

The cold wind that usually blows through the forest blew up some of the hair beside Shen Yu's cheek. These dry white hairs caressed the equally rough and dry skin underneath.

"Go ahead, Yu."

The old man moved his hand down and covered the dark eyes. Shen Yu's body gradually stiffened, blood pooled on his side, and finally a corpse with an unrecognizable face was left.

All the intrigues and inexplicable plots within the State of Yue were wiped out the moment the army of the State of Sheng broke into the imperial city.

In the same year, Wen Suyu died.

"Shen Yu!"

"Shen Yu!"

"Wake up! Shen Yu!"

Shen Yu had a splitting headache. He had not yet gotten over the previous memories, and when he heard the voice and opened his eyes, he actually felt that his body was still somewhat unfamiliar and difficult to control.

"Shen Yu? Are you awake?"

Shen Yu's breathing went from light to rapid. He suddenly raised his head, took a step back, and his back hit the stone wall behind him.

Water splashed everywhere, and the pain instantly spread along his spine. Shen Yu's vision went from blurry to clear, and he slowly saw the half of the face that looked like his own in the purple light pouring down from the sky.

"...Wen Yu?"

Half of Wen Yu's face was hidden in the dim shadow. He held the edge of the stone wall in the well with one hand and held Shen Yu's waist with the other.

Shen Yu's mind was in a mess. He stared at Wen Yu intently, his dark eyes showing a dark and unclear emotion. Wen Yu's hair was disheveled, and the scar on the other half of his face was exposed. The golden mask had long disappeared.

Seeing Shen Yu wake up, Wen Yu's tense expression improved a little: "How do you feel?"

Shen Yu's eyes turned slightly. His body was soaked in the black water of the abandoned well. A foul smell filled the air. He raised his head and looked upwards. Soon he understood the whole story.

"Why are you here?" Shen Yu lowered his head again, turned his head and looked straight at Wen Yu's face.

"How dare you say that? I told you not to run around and not to go to the backyard, did you listen?" Wen Yu's face was gloomy. He was soaking wet in the well and looked a bit ferocious. "If I hadn't come, you would have drowned yourself!"

Wen Yu first waited in Kunning Palace for a while. No one knew what Shen Yu was going to do after getting up early, but he would always come back at a fixed time. However, this time there was no sign of him coming back.

Wen Yu was the most suspicious. He asked several palace maids, but to no avail, he set his sights on the backyard of Kunning Palace. Shen Yu had asked him about the backyard before, and since his meeting point with Shadow Guard was also in the backyard, it was highly likely that he would be there.

Wen Yu pondered for a while, and after confusing the palace maid, he changed his mask and quietly went to the backyard.

Unlike other places, the backyard was rarely guarded by guards. Wen Yu went in and followed the trail all the way forward, and saw two corpses at the innermost part of the dense forest.

Wen Yu knew something was wrong, so he ran to the abandoned well and saw Shen Yu buried in the black water. Shen Yu was buried under the black water with his head down. Wen Yu called him four or five times at the well mouth, but there was no response.

If he continued like this, he would soon be drowned. Wen Yu had nothing else on him, and he initially tried to turn Shen Yu over with a long wooden stick, but Shen Yu was in a deep coma, and his clothes were heavy after being soaked in water, so Wen Yu tried several times but to no avail.

So he made up his mind and jumped into the well.

Wen Yu was a good swimmer, and after entering, she pulled Shen Yu up, so that he wouldn't drown directly in the dirty water in the well.

Shen Yu was a little stunned after understanding the situation. He looked up at the wellhead and said, "At first I was the only one there, but now neither of us can get out."

Wen Yu tensed his masseter muscles but didn't say anything.

Shen Yu turned his head to look at Wen Yu. Wen Yu had used most of his strength to support Shen Yu. Now his strength was almost exhausted. His face was pale and his lips were trembling slightly from being frozen by the well water.

Shen Yu looked at him speechlessly for a few seconds, then reached out and held Wen Yu's waist. He brought Wen Yu to his side and said, "You are not feeling well, hold me."

Wen Yu's body became somewhat stiff at that moment, water droplets accumulated on his long hair, and his eyes were wet and his emotions could not be seen clearly.
