Chapter 1893 - 1894: Better Not to Know
Southern Border Extreme Land, Xia Country.
"The Southern Border region has always been difficult to enter and leave. Not only is this place a paradise for the Demon Clan’s cultivation, but historically, all sorts of heretics, when left with no other choice, would flee in this direction. Over time, this rather substantial area became the most complex region in Xia Country. However, these are merely acquired factors. The true reason why the Southern Border is hard to stabilize runs deeper. I suppose your clan should have some records on it?"
Though Bei Tang Qian Xiao, who first met up with Yu Shuang, hadn’t delved deeply, the two had started a simple reconnaissance on the outskirts of the Southern Border. Although they hadn’t gained much, Bei Tang Qian Xiao wasn’t concerned. She was more worried about Yu Shuang, whose condition was clearly off since their meeting.
"Ah? Oh. It seems... it seems that’s the case."
Yu Shuang, who had been lost in thought, finally snapped back to reality upon hearing her name mentioned by Bei Tang Qian Xiao. After sorting her thoughts, she replied.
"I read in the Book Collection Pavilion of our clan that two of the Nine Ancient Tribes have ancestors who emerged from the Southern Border. However, from the descriptions in the ancient texts, it seems it wasn’t they who made this place, but rather this place made them. The relics of the Southern Border seem to date back to the Ancient Era. But as for more details, I don’t know... Also, I..."
Yu Shuang hesitated in her words, lowering her head, her mood sinking once more.
Seeing Yu Shuang like this, Bei Tang Qian Xiao couldn’t hold back, raising her voice instinctively as she spoke.
"Yu Shuang, sister, I don’t mean to interfere. I truly don’t know what has happened to your Yu Clan, but regardless of what happened, do you think you can’t go on without the Yu Clan?"
Yu Shuang was taken aback, looking at Bei Tang Qian Xiao without a word, biting her lower lip, as though she felt she had done something wrong, not daring to say more.
Seeing Yu Shuang with a tearful expression, Bei Tang Qian Xiao’s temper vanished in an instant.
"Alright, I didn’t mean it that way. Blame me, blame me for talking too much, okay?"
