We Agreed On Experiencing Life, So Why Did You Immortals Become Real?

From now on, youʼll live in the side courtyard.

Xiao Mo, youʼll begin cultivation tomorrow.

Xiao Mo, remember, you are my disciple, but Jiang Xin is not.

Jiang Xin is alive because sheʼs the person you want to protect.

If you donʼt meet my requirements, Iʼll kill you.

If you die, Iʼll kill her too.”

Just as Xue Kui finished speaking, she walked into the courtyard and closed the door.

Looking at the tightly shut door, Xiao Mo said nothing, just led Jiang Xin to find the spiritual spring, then let her bathe first while he waited in the distance.

After Jiang Xin finished bathing, Xiao Mo also entered the spiritual spring and washed himself clean.

This spiritual spring was extremely effective.

In less than half an incense stickʼs time, Xiao Mo felt much of his bodyʼs fatigue lifted, and even many impurities in his body were cleansed away.

When Xiao Mo climbed out of the spiritual spring, he felt his whole body was light as a feather.

After they both finished bathing, they returned to the courtyard.

Before Xiao Mo could return to his room to rest, Jiang Xin pulled him to sit on the stone bench in the courtyard.

Jiang Xin fetched a bucket of water, took a handkerchief, and kept wiping Xiao Moʼs hands.

Over and over again.

Jiang Xin wiped Xiao Moʼs hands countless times, changing basin after basin of water.

At first, Xiao Mo was puzzled about what Jiang Xin was doing but gradually, Xiao Mo understood what she was thinking.

”Ah Xin, itʼs useless, they canʼt be wiped clean,” Xiao Mo shook his head and said. ”Once youʼve killed someone, the blood on your hands can never be washed clean.”

Hearing Xiao Moʼs words, Jiang Xinʼs movements gradually slowed but she still didnʼt stop, still earnestly wiping Xiao Moʼs palms.

As she wiped, Jiang Xinʼs crystalline tears gradually fell.

Her small hands trembled slightly, her soft sobs heartbreaking.

Xiao Mo reached out and gently wiped away the tears from the corner of her eyes, ”Ah Xin, I killed your Sister Zi, do you hate me?”

Hearing Xiao Moʼs words, Jiang Xin was stunned for a moment, then vigorously shook her head, ”Xiao Mo, how could I hate you? You did it all for me...

If it werenʼt for me, you wouldnʼt have been captured either.

Itʼs all my fault, all because of me...”

As she spoke, Jiang Xin pressed against Xiao Moʼs chest, crying louder and louder, her falling tears warm.

”You did nothing wrong.”

Xiao Mo gently patted her back.

In Xiao Moʼs view, she was just a nine-year-old little girl.

What could a nine-year-old little girl understand?

On the contrary.

As a nine-year-old little girl, she had endured too much.

”Ah Xin, you must remember, the one at fault isnʼt you, itʼs this world.”

Xiao Mo stroked her long hair.

”The people I must kill in the future, I will kill; the blood I must stain myself with in the future, I will bear.

Ah Xin, you just need to be like before.

You donʼt need to bear any burden, nor do you need to change at all because only this way, when I walk farther and farther, not knowing where Iʼm heading, when I look back, I can at least still see a lighthouse.

Perhaps this way, I wonʼt be completely lost in the dark night.”
