No one had heard the old man's sigh. Even if there were people who had heard it, they would only sigh for him and not express anything.

Time passed by in a flash. Three days later, Lin Qing was already here.

There was a thick bandage on his face and his body was the same.

After walking out of the deep cave, Lin Qing arrived at the outer room and involuntarily inhaled a breath of fresh air. There was an indescribable feeling of relaxation throughout her body.

When Lin Qing came out and saw Lin Qing and her gang, all of them clasped their fists and sincerely greeted her, "Greetings, Branch Lord."

Faintly sensing the mood of the crowd, Lin Qing nodded her head in acknowledgement. However, a moment later, Lin Qing arrived at an empty space. Not far away, Huang Shan was giving instructions to a person.

After Huang Shan finished his words, he saw Lin Qing's silhouette.

Huang Shan's expression also shook. He quickly ran over and respectfully said: "There are some orders for how the Branch Lord came out."

Lin Qing nodded before replying, "I do have something to ask you."

Huang Shan was also shocked and quickly said: "I don't know if you have any questions, please speak."

"I asked you to protect Wen Xueqi, where is she now?" Lin Qing stared intently at Huang Shan. In fact, Lin Qing had wanted to ask this question a long time ago, but a few days ago, she had not seen Huang Shan's figure, so she could only hide this question in her heart.

Huang Shan hesitated slightly before saying, "Deacon Wen was arranged to be in a cave in the mountain behind this place by Elder Shu."

"Then bring me there quickly." Lin Qing's heart ached when she thought of Wen Xueqi saving her life back then.

In fact, Lin Qing also faintly knew that even if Hua Tuo was still alive, he wouldn't be able to save Wen Xueqi. However, there was always some luck in one's heart. Without the final result, Lin Qing wouldn't give up.

"Okay." Huang Shan did not dare to disobey Lin Qing's order. He respectfully replied and led the way.

Lin Qing followed closely behind. After walking for over an hour, Lin Qing finally arrived at the cave at the back of the mountain with Huang Shan.

It was a bit chilly here. When a gust of cold wind blew over, it made people's hearts tremble.

"How much longer before I can see Wen Xueqi?" Lin Qing couldn't help but ask.

"We should be there in a while." Huang Shan respectfully said.

Hearing this, Lin Qing temporarily suppressed her impatience and continued to follow closely behind Huang Shan.

Finally, after half a cup of tea passed, Lin Qing arrived at a stone room. The stone room was very simple and didn't have any decorations. Besides the beauty that was like a flower lying on the bed, there was nothing special about it.

Seeing Wen Xueqi's figure, Lin Qing couldn't help but quickly walk up to Wen Xueqi and hold her unconscious hand, not knowing what to say.

As Lin Qing touched Wen Xueqi's hand, he felt a burst of cold; there was no warmth to speak of. As he felt this, Lin Qing's heart couldn't help but sink.

"Could it be true …" Lin Qing muttered in a low voice. Her fingers couldn't help but reach into Wen Xueqi's nose. When she felt that there was no trace of breath in her nose, her entire body couldn't help but slump to the ground.

"Branch Lord, please grieve." Huang Shan stood behind Lin Qing and said with a trace of relief. As someone who had experienced such a life and death experience, he could not bear such feelings. His heart was as painful as a knife.

Lin Qing's eyes dimmed. In truth, Lin Qing had already guessed that this would happen. That day in the battle, Wen Xueqi had been stabbed in the heart and had barely managed to save Lin Qing.

Feeling the pain in her heart, Lin Qing's arms couldn't help but tremble. It was unknown when the rain had begun to fall from her eyes.

If he had been reckless in the past, even Xiang Lian wouldn't have been able to have such an ending, much less have a change of heart in the end. It was only because he was too young, so young, that he didn't even know that he was a capitalist, but if he wasn't young, he would still be burdened. If he didn't do something in his youth, then after he grew old, he would have lost his vigor and died, leaving him speechless.

Lin Qing knelt beside Wen Xueqi, her fingers gently caressing Wen Xueqi's smooth, long hair. Looking at Wen Xueqi's long, jet-black hair which seemed to lose its luster, her heart ached.

Only after losing her would he know regret. It was most likely not. Seeing the smile on Wen Xueqi's face, Lin Qing knew that in the end, he did not regret anything.

The things that Lin Xueqi had done for him was probably the happiest and most meaningful thing that she had ever done.

It was because of this that Lin Qing's heart ached even more.

Lin Qing was silent, Lin Qing was helpless. No one understood that life and death depended on luck. Lin Qing didn't have the ability to defy the heavens, so how could she save someone who was already dead?

Lin Qing's despairing heart couldn't help but twitch when she thought of going against the will of the heavens to change her fate. Her dull eyes also started to shine with a different light.

Lin Qing thought of the old man who had his body shattered, but he was still able to survive. Although he was reborn from possession, he was still able to survive. Since the old man could do it, why couldn't Wen Xueqi do the same?

Thinking of this, Lin Qing couldn't help but stand up. Lin Qing decided to ask the old man. He believed that with the old man's ability, he definitely had a way.

Before Lin Qing had even gone to search, a faint sigh had already spread throughout the entire cave.

An old man with an aura of rot emanating from his body appeared behind Lin Qing. He looked at her with a complicated expression in his eyes. The person who had arrived was none other than Elder Shu.

Seeing that Old Book had arrived, Lin Qing's face lit up, and she quickly said respectfully: "Disciple Lin Qing greets Master."

"Get up, what you're thinking about, how could I not know?" The old man glanced at Lin Qing, his cloudy eyes seemingly seeing through everything. After looking at Lin Qing, he then shifted his gaze to Wen Xueqi, revealing envy, shock, and too many colors.

At the same time, her gaze was filled with both pity and envy.

"I don't know if this is your fate, or your fate, or your fortune …" The old man secretly sighed. He thought back to the rumors he saw in the school's library and thought it was just a myth. He didn't expect that he would personally witness it in his lifetime. With this in mind, he would have no regrets in his life. He just didn't know if this boy would be able to make it out.

I also know about the path of emotions. However, given your talent, how far can you go when encountering such a matter?
