Ancient Godly Monarch

Time flowed by, several days had passed.

Right now, on top of an ancient mountain, if one stared into the distance from the peak, they would be able to see a boundless territory filled with glaciers. There seemed to be no end to the size of the land within the academy. They decided not to head further into the depths of the mountain range. They had already fled for so far, their enemies probably wouldnʼt pursue so deep into the mountains to search for them.

”Qing`er seems to be extremely troubled.” At this moment, Mo Qingcheng stood beside Qin Wentian, staring at the beautiful figure on the mountain peak who was standing there alone, buffeted by the cold winds.

Qin Wentian had also sensed it. During these few days, Qing`er has always been extremely cold. But because her original natural was like this, Qin Wentian initially didnʼt feel that there was anything wrong. But later on, he gradually did.

”You should go and talk to her.” Mo Qingcheng gently let go of Qin Wentianʼs hand as she smiled.

”Okay.” Qin Wentian nodded his head. His silhouette flickered and appeared on the peak of the ancient mountain, quietly standing beside Qing`er, staring silently at the horizons together with her.

He didnʼt initiate a conversation. A gust of cold wind blew by, yet the two of them didnʼt seem to sense it. Their robes fluttered in the wind, Qin Wentian moved closer to Qing`er, wanting to let her feel that he was right beside her.

Qing`erʼs body leaned gently against Qin Wentianʼs shoulder, as though she wanted to find a place where she can have a measure of reliance.

Qin Wentian hugged her waist, allowing her head to rest on his shoulder.

”Qing`er, letʼs sit.” Qin Wentian spoke in a low voice. Qing`er nodded her head lightly. The two of them sat down as Qing`er gently leaned against him. Her delicate frame was trembling intensely and Qin Wentian simply hugged her into his embrace but right now, the state of his heart wasnʼt as calm as the look on his face.

Qing`erʼs personality was always aloof and cold, and had never clung to him in a manner like this before. Right now, Qin Wentian could truly feel how fragile her heart was.

”Wentian, were we wrong?” Qing`er asked in a light tone of voice. She laid down, using Qin Wentianʼs thigh as a pillow as her beautiful eyes peered into the distance.

”In this world, there is never right or wrong. Only strength and weakness matters here. There are some things that we would never be able to control. Many people in the sacred academy are staring at you like how a tiger sees its prey but so many of your fellow apprentice sisters were willing to stand by your side and fight for you. You should feel gratitude and cherish these relationships instead, thereʼs no need to blame yourself for this because this is the depths of their feelings towards you. If they encountered any danger, I believe you would also do the same, standing out for them, regardless of anything. Am I not right?”

Qin Wentian was always extremely sensitive, how could he not know what Qing`er was referring to? Most probably, the death of Nie Yunchang had impacted her a lot.

”But still, they were ultimately dragged into this and implicated by me.” Qing`er was still blaming herself. She couldnʼt forget Nie Yunchangʼs words, and couldnʼt forget the radiant smile she had before she died.

Qin Wentian knew that no matter how much he tries to console her, it would all be useless. This originally was a problem that had no solution to it. In truth, he also asked himself the same question. If he could restart life over, would he choose to do things differently, allowing his friends and comrades to avoid the danger? However, he had no idea. Nobody would know the answer.

What he could do was only to allow himself to grow stronger and stronger. Only then would nobody dare to bully the people next to him. If he was not strong enough, he can only maintain enough vigilance.

Qin Wentian lowered his head and looked at Qing`er. He discovered that within her beautiful eyes, there were actually crystal-like tears. The her who was always so strong, was now in his embrace, doing nothing to mask her fragileness.
