The light from outside the door stretched the shadows, casting them long on the floor.
Qian Renxue turned and looked up, seeing Bibi Dong's somewhat frail figure.
Standing by the door, she looked just like Qian Renxue had when she was a child.
Her hair was disheveled, her eyes were swollen, and her eyes held a hint of panic.
Those purple eyes, filled with a misty film that seemed to crack, swept over Qian Renxue and landed on Qian Renjue, who was crouched on the ground.
"Xue'er, Jue…"
Bibi Dong's hoarse voice echoed in the secret room, and she stumbled forward, trying to get closer.
But the bloodstains on the bed seemed to be reminding her.
She wasn't worthy.
Qian Renjue, who was currently on the ground searching for the Soul Seizing Pearl, looked up and turned around when they heard Bibi Dong's voice.
Their lips moved slightly.
The light in their eyes quickly dimmed.
They continued to lower their head, activating their Eye of Insight, carefully examining the ground.
"Jue,"
Bibi Dong murmured, her footsteps suddenly halting, her face turning deathly pale.
Fear was evident in her eyes, and panic filled her heart.
Her delicate body trembled slightly.
Never before!
Qian Renjue had never treated her with such indifference before.
Did he know?!
Bibi Dong's breathing suddenly quickened, and tears streamed down her face.
Qian Renxue watched silently.
Biting her lip, she felt a lingering attachment to the past, yet always with a thorn.
She wanted to go over. The blood on the ground seemed to be sticking to her feet.
The secret room was utterly silent, save for Bibi Dong's soft sobs and the sound of Qian Renjue fumbling on the ground.
"Found it."
Finally, Qian Renjue's tear-filled eyes blinked.
A soft murmur escaped their lips.
I...
Quickly, they crawled to the corner and picked up the dragon eye-sized, transparent pearl.
Holding it up, they examined it closely.
Within the pure, flawless pearl, there seemed to be wisps of golden light.
Qian Renjue excitedly stood up.
Thump!
Stumbling, their legs gave way, and they accidentally fell to the ground.
"Jue!"
Bibi Dong's voice was choked with sobs, indistinct and filled with emotion.
Qian Renxue called out anxiously, hurrying forward to support Qian Renjue.
"Jue, are you alright?"
"Older Sister, I'm fine."
Qian Renjue shook his head, standing up and looking at Bibi Dong, whose eyes were brimming with tears.
He fixed his gaze on her as she approached.
Then, he walked towards the bloodstained bed, wanting to confirm something.
"Jue..."
Qian Renxue didn't know what Qian Renjue intended to do.
Just quietly accompanying.
Qian Renjue stood by the bed, walking around the stone bed, sizing it up.
And Bibi Dong's eyes were filled with guilt.
Her legs were trembling, and she almost wanted to run away.
Looking at the bloodstains scattered far apart and appearing somewhat messy.
Qian Renjue couldn't understand it even more.
It clearly wasn't a single, fatal blow; why didn't Qian Xunji take a sugar pill to save his life?
Didn't Qian Xunji love spending time with them the most?
Why did he have to die!
"Jue, what are you doing?!"
Qian Renxue stared in astonishment at Qian Renjue, who was lying on the cold bed.
"..."
Qian Renjue didn't speak.
They lay quietly in the place where Qian Xunji had last rested.
Their index finger and thumb held the Soul Seizing Pearl, and tears streamed down their face.
Even if there was a remnant soul, what did it matter?
Qian Xunji could only lie inside forever, sinking into the darkness.
A habit that had long been cultivated needed to be broken.
Bibi Dong was standing by the door.
Seeing such a scene, her heart ached beyond measure.
A flicker of regret flashed through Bibi Dong's heart, but it quickly subsided and vanished.
"Jue, let's go."
Qian Renxue also felt terrible. She gently wiped away Qian Renjue's tears, cradling his tear-stained face and urging him to leave.
His tear-filled eyes gazed at the Soul Seizing Pearl in his hand, which seemed to bloom like a flower.
The tears in Qian Renjue's eyes suddenly stopped.
He quickly sat up, grasped Qian Renxue's soft hand, and his voice was hoarse.
"Sister, let's go!"
"..."
Qian Renxue was stunned for a moment, then wiped away her tears and nodded firmly.
"Okay."
Hand in hand, the two walked towards the door.
Qian Renjue lowered their head, intending to pass Bibi Dong first, when a sob sounded in their ear. "Jue."
Bibi Dong quickly grabbed Qian Renjue, who was trying to slip away.
After Qian Renjue stopped walking.
Bibi Dong let go of their hand.
She quickly turned around, looking at Qian Renxue in front of her and Qian Renjue, who was facing away. Her eyes were filled with anticipation, even pleading. She said sadly, "Jue, Mom made you something delicious."
Bibi Dong took out the snacks from her Soul Tool.
She nervously handed it to Qian Renjue.
The air was silent for a few seconds.
Qian Renjue glanced at the cream puff he loved, and gently shook his head.
"Sister, I don't have an appetite right now."
"Okay, okay..."
Bibi Dong's voice was excited, Qian Renjue hadn't ignored her.
Tears welled up in her eyes even more.
She hurriedly said, "Then, then I'll wait until you have an appetite."
"You can come to Mom anytime, or find me, anytime. I'll be ready."
Qian Renjue's throat felt tight, and they opened their mouth.
Ultimately, they nodded.
"Mm."
"I'll always be waiting, just like you waited for Mom before."
Bibi Dong sobbed, the tearing sensation in her heart making her seem like an ordinary person.
She turned to look at Qian Renxue.
"Xue'er, take some, okay?"
"..."
Qian Renxue was silent for a moment.
It was the first time she had seen Bibi Dong like this.
In her impression, Bibi Dong was dignified, noble, and strong, never so fragile.
A pang of sympathy arose in her heart.
The force from Qian Renjue's hand seemed to be hinting at something.
"Thank you, Sister."
Qian Renxue reached out and took the pastry, placing it in the necklace around her neck.
The force in Qian Renjue's hand finally stopped changing.
The two of them brushed past Bibi Dong. "I...I'm so sorry."
Bibi Dong's eyes were red.
As if all her strength had been drained, she covered her face and collapsed, kneeling on the ground.
She was sobbing in the empty secret room.
Qian Renjue pulled Qian Renxue along.
Without looking back, he strode quickly towards the outside of the Papal Palace.
Before he could figure out the doubts in his heart, Qian Renjue didn't know how to face Bibi Dong. "Jue, where are we going?"
Qian Renxue followed closely behind, appearing almost like the younger sibling.
"Let's go find Elder Ju."
Qian Renjue held the Soul Seizing Pearl in their hand, speaking softly.
"Elder Ju?!"
Qian Renxue was puzzled.
Soon.
Qian Renjue and Qian Renxue arrived at Chrysanthemum Douluo's courtyard.
Having obtained what he needed.
Chrysanthemum Douluo stood beside the flower stand, his face full of apology.
"Young Master Jue, I'm truly sorry. This subordinate's skills are lacking; I only managed to keep one alive."
Qian Renjue, holding a flowerpot in his hands, gently shook his head.
"It's alright, one is enough."
Seeing that the siblings didn't seem as cheerful as they had been in the past few days, but rather looked much more haggard.
Chrysanthemum Douluo felt extremely guilty.
It was their incompetence; they hadn't kept an eye on Tang Hao, nor had they protected Qian Xunji.
"Miss Xue, Young Master Jue, please accept our condolences."
"Rest assured, we will make the Clear Sky Sect pay for their crimes in blood!"
Qian Renxue nodded slightly.
"Thank you, Elder Ju, and may you return victorious."
Qian Renjue, who was fiddling with the flowers in his hand, suddenly raised his head.
He instructed: "Sister Ju, if Sister also participates in the battle, you must protect her."
"Please rest assured, Young Master Jue, we will definitely protect Her Holiness!"
A hoarse voice echoed, and a ghost-like figure appeared in the courtyard.
Kneeling on one knee before Qian Renjue.
"If anything unexpected happens... we are willing to atone with our deaths!"
"Ghost Grandpa is right!"
Chrysanthemum Douluo followed closely behind.
This time, it was their chance to redeem themselves and earn merit.
Even if Qian Renjue didn't say anything, they wouldn't dare to let the Holy Daughter come to any harm.
Qian Renjue gently shook his head.
"Ghost Grandpa, Sister Ju, there's no need for this. Just do your best."
Wishing you all a happy life!
