Taking a deep breath, I fell back, gazing at the starry sky. After more than ten years in ancient times, my days on the mountain were the happiest. Once in the mortal world, troubles are abundant. How did I become entangled by this hateful red thread, ending up in such a sorry state? I am Hua Xiaoxin!
A face blocked my view; it was Feng Qingyin. He squatted beside me, saying nothing, just staring at me with sadness in his eyes. Little Yinyin, what’s wrong?”
I reached out to smooth the pain in his eyes, but he avoided me. Feng Qingyin touched my eye corner: “Are you crying for him?”
I was stunned. Was I crying? I just felt troubled and chaotic. There was a part of my heart that hurt terribly, like being pierced and pulled by a silver needle. Painful but not heart-wrenching, just a deep ache that penetrated to the bone, yet I couldn’t cry out.
“Shall we leave? Forever,” Feng Qingyin said, his words tempting.
I stiffened, my fingers clenching. No, I want to ask him! Suddenly pushing him away, I ran towards the outer hall. But after just a few steps, I collapsed to the ground.
It’s happening again… My consciousness blurred.
Feng Qingyin rushed forward, picking me up and confirming it was just a “power outage” before sighing in relief. He gazed deeply at the palace he’d lived in for several months: Goodbye, Jin Mo.
Black line – this kid has watched too many gangster TV shows. I shook my head, patted his shoulder, and sat beside him: “If you were about to starve to death, would 100 million taels of gold be useful?” Without waiting for his response, I continued, “His original purpose was the Northern Expedition.”
No matter how legendary or brilliant the process was, he ultimately failed. He knew it was impossible yet insisted on going, stubborn to the point of absurdity – that was his greatest failure.
“Xiao Xin, you don’t need to be so persistent. Do you know what happened to your father later…”
Tai Bai’s sigh was cut off, and he changed the subject. “The weather is nice today…”
“Yes – nice -” I glared at him fiercely, raising my fist.
Tai Bai trembled and started fidgeting with his fingers. Finally, he looked up with a martyred expression: “I confess!”
