That day was one he never wanted to recall.
The knights who ambushed Ying Zijin, who sent them, remains a mystery to this day.
He was certain that there was a traitor among the Sages.
And because 2023 was a void, even the Wheel of Destiny could not reveal who this traitor was.
She was already frail, and after the ambush, her complexion became even more pallid.
He killed those knights, but could not save her life.
Yet even so, she grasped his hand firmly, her gaze resolute: "Go! If you don't leave now, the gate will close after tonight."
He held her: "Miss Ying, what exactly are you trying to do?"
Hearing this, she laughed.
She was stunningly beautiful, and her smile was even more enchanting.
She said, "I just want you to live."
This sentence was a lifelong pain for him.
He naturally couldn't just leave like that.
He sought out The Lovers, asking for their help.
No matter what the cost.
In the end, he did not fail, and he sent her to another universe.
