“I don’t know where I’ll be going, so I can’t take you along.”
Bai Wuqing didn’t believe it. Clearly, she was simply unwilling to take him.
It was he who had done wrong, and she still refused to forgive him.
“I know you still blame me.”
Tang Guo shook her head. “I don’t blame you anymore.”
“You’ve already paid the price you owed. Once I leave this place, that will be the moment when all grievances are gone.”
“No!”
“Xiao Guo, I’d rather you hate me.”
Tang Guo was speechless. “I never hated you.”
Bai Wuqing was stunned. “You won’t even give me your hatred?”
Tang Guo: “…”
“Such a stubborn old stick, no wonder he’s destined to stay single.” She complained to the system.
System: [Host, you’re bullying him because he couldn’t bring his memories when he traveled through worlds.]
“Who knows what he originally was? For all I know, he might have been someone who would harm me.”
The system: Hehe…
Bai Wuqing saw that she truly didn’t care, and finally gave up. “Then… before you leave, can I stay with you the whole time?”
“You can.”
Bai Wuqing let out a sigh of relief, and a quiet, pure smile like a lotus blooming in clear water spread across his face, as if he had gained some precious treasure. He consciously let go of Tang Guo’s wrist and stood by her side. Even if he couldn’t accompany her for long, he still wanted to stay near her while he could.
He didn’t know how she would leave, but he had a vague feeling it wouldn’t be in any way good.
In the days that followed, wherever Tang Guo was, Bai Wuqing was there too. The two never left each other’s side, even closer than before, to the point that the Demon Sect disciples thought the two were about to become a couple.
Until one day, they never again saw the figure of the Holy Maiden Aunt, nor did they see Bai Wuqing.
Bai Wuqing sensed it early one morning. He stood at the doorway and waited a long time, but never saw that familiar figure appear. He seemed to realize something. Despite knowing she disliked it, he pushed open the door and saw only a lifeless body. In that instant, his whole being collapsed.
From the day she left the Xingyue Sect, this was the closest he had ever come to her. He held her…that cold body.
He couldn’t sense her soul anywhere. He had never imagined she would leave in this way. He didn’t know where she had gone, or where her soul would return to, but he truly regretted everything.
Mo Yuntian and the other two had received her message the moment Tang Guo chose to leave, so they weren’t surprised.
But when they came into the room and saw that aloof man holding Tang Guo’s cold body, tears brimming in his eyes, trying so hard to hold back his grief, they still felt deeply moved.
Bai Wuqing, he must have truly loved their sister?
It was a pity that their sister was always so stubborn. If she couldn’t forgive, then she simply wouldn’t. No amount of atonement could change that. They really didn’t know if this temperament of hers was good or bad.
“I said that wherever you are, I’ll be there too. Wherever you go, I will follow you.”
“Xiao Guo.”
Before the three of them could react, Bai Wuqing actually dispersed his own cultivation and willingly let himself fade between heaven and earth. Seeing this, they were stunned, and in the end could only sigh endlessly.
In the end, Bai Wuqing’s final consciousness remained clear. A hint of helplessness curved at the corner of his lips. In this life, he really had been unwilling to accept it. Ah, Guo really was a woman who showed no sentiment at all.
“Where’s Tang Guo? Where’s the Holy Maiden Aunt? Have you seen her? I want to find her. Where is she?”
Hearing the voice coming from outside, Bai Wuqing’s last remaining consciousness flashed coldly in his eyes. No one was going to take away his Ah Guo.
“Tang Guo, Xiao Guo…I remember now. I had a dream, and I remembered everything. I know the truth. I’m sorry…I came to apologize. From now on, we…”
