Chapter 868 - 869: Bro, don’t you like me?
Upon leaving Dragon Nine, Song Xiaodong and Feng Kexin strolled down the small path of the villa, both falling into a brief silence.
"Brother..." Feng Kexin hugged Song Xiaodong’s arm and said with some sadness, "I never thought that we always wanted to find our true origins, but after finding them, our origins turned out to be so tragic. Our foster parents died, and we never met our biological parents who are also gone."
Song Xiaodong sighed and said, "Yes, I really didn’t expect it to be like this; it indeed feels quite depressing."
Neither of them had any feelings for their biological parents, after all, they had no memories of them, nor did they experience that kind of kinship. Thus, although the news was sad, they were not too upset, it was more about reflecting on their origins.
Feng Kexin hesitated for a moment and said, "Brother, this Dragon Gate sounds prestigious, but do we really have to take on such a big responsibility?"
Song Xiaodong was stunned for a moment. He had indeed never thought about shirking the responsibility. Now that Feng Kexin mentioned it, it seemed he might not necessarily have to take on the responsibility.
Feng Kexin frowned and said worriedly, "I feel this path will be very dangerous. If the other party is so strong and powerful, once you step in, you will enter a path full of thorns. If you don’t enter, then you are already living a glorious and happy life."
Song Xiaodong was silent for a while before finally saying, "Indeed, we are currently living comfortably, but since Dragon Nine knows about our existence, people from Dragon Gate would definitely not agree to just let me hide here. Moreover, those assassination attempts on you were definitely actions from the Dark Universe Sect. Once there’s movement within Dragon Gate, the Dark Universe Sect will likely get alerted, and at that time, you and I would be their targets, with absolutely no chance to escape."
Feng Kexin gave a bitter smile and said, "It’s all my fault—why did I show that Dragon Badge in the first place? If I hadn’t taken out the Dragon Badge, I could have lived a peaceful life."
Song Xiaodong put his arms around Feng Kexin’s shoulders and said, "Kexin, since we can’t escape, let’s face it together. Don’t worry, I’m here, and I will definitely protect you."
