Pei Yuncheng's tone was strained, "Five years in Tomb Guard City, wasn't it endured the same way? What did Yunzhi do wrong again? Wasn't it Pei Yunqi who was wrong? If he hadn't claimed the blood on his own and said it was Yunzhi's offering, we wouldn't have misunderstood her, right? And didn't she have her own mouth to tell us?"
The pain tugged at his heart as well, but the instinct to protect Pei Yunzhi for so many years still made him speak those words unconsciously.
"Five years in Tomb Guard City?"
Yu Nianzhao's eyes glinted with cold intent, "Scheming treacheries during the day, entangled by evil spirits at night, and guarding against being sacrificed by companions under the full moon, your description makes living day by day sound so light? Pei Yuncheng, you are even more despicable than Pei Yunqi."
Pei Yuncheng's face looked grim, and his lowered hand clenched into a fist, "I didn't mean it like that, I'm just saying... at least you came out alive."
