Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Lin Jie stared at Chu Yan. His teeth were tightly clenched, and the tip of his tongue was pressing against the roof of his mouth.
He did not speak, so Liu Sanniang did not say anything either.
Chu Yan galloped towards the enemy. The eldest prince gave the order to kill, but not only did the Xia Dynasty army not lose, but they also became stronger and stronger. The elite soldiers following Chu Yan cleared out a way for him.
The eldest prince frowned. “Kill him. He’s the leader. Once he dies, no matter how powerful the elite soldiers are, they will be in a state of disunity.”
Chu Yan was as cold as ice. The spear in his hand had already taken the lives of countless people, and he was only slightly injured.
He stared at the eldest prince. Even from a distance, the eldest prince was still shocked by the thick killing intent in his eyes and wanted to retreat. A sense of danger arose in his heart.
The eldest prince’s breathing became heavy. “No matter what you do, you have to kill this man.”
The eldest prince wanted to retreat again, but Chu Yan threw the spear at him. The people around the eldest prince immediately stood in front of him to protect him.
“Pfft.”
Under the eldest prince’s shocked gaze, the sharp weapon pierced through his chest and the chest of his personal guard.
The spear went right through their chest and landed on the ground behind them, leaving bloody holes on their body with blood gushing out.
The main general was killed, and the Yan army was in chaos.
The deputy general carried the eldest prince’s body and gave the order to retreat. The eldest prince looked at the bloody hole in his chest and said to the deputy general beside him with difficulty, “If this person doesn’t die, the Yan army will be doomed.”
An overwhelming fear spread throughout his body.
The battle that was supposed to be a sure win ended in a complete defeat.
The soldiers of the Yan Dynasty were beaten up, while the morale of the Xia Dynasty army was boosted.
With Chu Yan around, victory was guaranteed.
Seeing that the situation was easily reversed, Lin Jie was furious. He walked away angrily. He knew that Liu Sanniang was behind him. She could clearly catch up to him, but she did not. Lin Jie was so angry that his eyes turned red.
He returned to his sleeping body and his body woke up. After so many months, they were still here unscathed. The four seasons were changing, but it did not affect them at all.
Liu Sanniang opened her eyes and stood up. Lin Jie stared at her coldly. “You knew that I would definitely lose, right? You did it on purpose.”
Lin Jie did not want to listen to Liu Sanniang. “You can’t kill me or eliminate me, so you’re afraid of me. You want to reform me. Otherwise, you wouldn’t have done this for me at all. If you could kill me, you wouldn’t have gone to such length.”
Lin Jie was in extreme pain. No matter how dangerous the situation was, Liu Sanniang could turn the situation around. His bet with Liu Sanniang was destined to lose.
All he wanted was to go back to the past. To Liu Sanniang, this was a small matter.
She could do it, but she wouldn’t.
Liu Sanniang reached out and touched Lin Jie’s hair. “Jie, they’ve already reincarnated and started a new life. If you want to revive them, what will come back to life is only their bodies. Their souls are no longer there. They’re no longer your family. What’s the point of having a family with no emotions?”
Lin Jie looked up into Liu Sanniang’s eyes, and bloody tears fell. “You’re lying.”
He stared into Liu Sanniang’s eyes, hoping to see a trace of guilt. However, from the bottom of his heart, he knew that he was deceiving himself. The family he missed would never come back.
Liu Sanniang gently reached out and touched Lin Jie’s hair. Lin Jie’s eyes gradually became clear. He cried and looked at Liu Sanniang. “I’m in so much pain. Why was 1 the only one who came back to life?”
If he died, he would be with his family.
He did not have to suffer so much. He was in so much pain that even if Zhou Hengjin, the sect master of Kongtong Sect, was already dead and Zhou Yunyi was also dead, he still could not vent his anger.
If it weren’t for man-made evil, all his family members would still be alive. His sister would get married. His brother-in-law was so good. They would definitely be happy, but all of this was gone.
Lin Jie looked at Liu Sanniang. Her face was gentle, like a Buddha who pitied the world. Lin Jie cried, “Why can’t you lie to me?”
Liu Sanniang smiled faintly. Lin Jie asked her with tears in his eyes, “Then what am 1? You said that I’m like you, but we’re clearly different.”
Liu Sanniang was extremely gentle, like warm sunlight, making people yearn for her and like her.
As for him, he could open the Yin Gate and release the demon to kill people wantonly. How could he be the same as her?
Liu Sanniang said gently, “Just like me, you’re also a guardian of the world. Give me your hand.”
Liu Sanniang reached out her hand. Lin Jie looked at her palm and seemed to be still hesitating. However, in the end, he placed his hand on it and felt a warm force spreading throughout his body. Lin Jie could not help but close his eyes.
He could not describe what he was feeling. The world in front of him seemed to have become a galaxy in the sky. He could hear many voices.
Lin Jie could not digest so much in a short period of time, but he had already calmed down. When Liu Sanniang let go, he looked away uncomfortably. “Will 1 be able to see my parents in the future?”
Liu Sanniang said slowly, “Yes.”
Lin Jie looked up at the sky. “Is what you are doing really worth it?”
Liu Sanniang smiled. Seeing that she didn’t answer, Lin Jie strode down the mountain gloomily. Liu Sanniang followed beside him. She reached out and touched Lin Jie’s head. “When we go back, I’ll take you in as my disciple.”
Lin Jie frowned. “I have to think about it. I won’t die anyway. I might not become a disciple.”
Liu Sanniang wanted him to take the right path and protect this world together with him.
Lin Jie thought of the person who saved him. He looked at Liu Sanniang and said, “That person can give me power. You might not be able to defeat him. Unless you kill him, I won’t consider becoming his disciple.”
Lin Jie was at a loss. He had done so many evil things. He had given the Jin soldiers an indestructible cavalry. How many people had lost their loved ones because of him?
Lin Jie did not understand why Liu Sanniang still wanted to take him in as her disciple. Why did she think that he could do a good job? Wasn’t she afraid that when he became more capable in the future, he would do more evil?
After going down the mountain, Lin Jie followed Liu Sanniang all the way.. Lin Jie said, “Are you talcing me back to your house?”
