Peng Xuan desperately wanted to know the truth, but when the truth was before him, the reality cut like a knife, making him tremble uncontrollably.
Thinking about the pain he had caused Luo Yingbai, he felt bone-chillingly cold.
Luo Yingbai thought Peng Xuan was shivering from blood loss and held him tighter, voice trembling: “Don’t speak anymore, rest a bit, I will…”
Peng Xuan waved his hand, a slight smile on his lips: “Senior brother, you’re still so soft-hearted. I harmed you, yet you still speak to me in this tone.”
He gripped Luo Yingbai’s arm, his smile fading, looking somewhat dazed: “I once thought that only by being ruthless could one protect oneself from harm. That kindness equals weakness, that one shouldn’t care about anyone, and should calculate everything by gained benefits… I thought what you and the master told me was wrong, but reality proved I was the foolish one.”
Tears slid from Peng Xuan’s eyes, and he said painfully: “I’m sorry, senior brother… I’m sorry.”
Peng Xuan’s blood flowed faster. Luo Yingbai held him tightly with one arm, the other covering his eyes.
At this moment, Peng Xuan called: “Senior Xia.”
Xia Xianning walked over, crouching beside him, placing his hand on Peng Xuan’s knee. Peng Xuan said softly: “In the previous life, there will be an attack on the Changliu Sect… cough cough…”
Xia Xianning condensed qi at his fingertips, tapping several acupoints, helping Peng Xuan catch his breath.
He continued softly: “If no unexpected changes occur in this life, half a month from now, the Changliu Sect’s mountain gate will be invaded by outsiders. I remember it was just when Senior Brother Lu was about to take over as sect leader and went to attend a conference, not on the mountain.”
This was indeed surprising news, but given Peng Xuan’s current state, neither Xia Xianning nor Luo Yingbai had the mood to carefully consider his words. Peng Xuan added: “Senior brother, can you help me up?”
Luo Yingbai’s face was deathly pale, seemingly lacking strength to support him. Xia Xianning helped Peng Xuan up.
Gou Songze, who had been helping with firefighting, saw this scene from afar, handed his work to another police officer, and ran over, shouting: “Peng Xuan, what are you doing!”
