Chapter 140 - 4.5 No Golden Finger
Lu Yizhou raised a brow.
Sensing his thoughts, 666 clarified in a haste. [All characters appearing in this world are simulator-generated. Any resemblance to real people, living or dead, is purely coincidental!]
[Sure.] Lu Yizhou answered readily, yet still managed to make himself sound dubious.
[666: Host, you don’t believe 666, do you?!!]
After the death of Jingxue-Jun, the whole cultivation world grieved, even more so Ling Chuwei, as she was practically Jingxue-Jun’s closest shimei[1]. The little girl who used to tag along with him whenever he went had grown up to be an intelligent, bold and beautiful lady. She went to the only person who would understand her, Shan Duoyin, because he was practically saved from the fate of living off the street and digging through garbage by Jingxue-Jun’s generosity of bringing him back to the sect and requesting the Sect Leader to take him in as an exception. He was Shan Duoyin’s savior.
"Heimo..." Ling Chuwei was seething with rage, tears blurred her charming eyes. "I will kill him! I swear I will kill him with my own hands!"
Shan Duoyin nodded somberly, trying to suppress the pain and sorrow in his heart. "Count me in."
He revered and respected Jingxue-Jun as his shixiong and an ultimate role model. Yet lately, he had felt something... more. Something different that made his heart beat faster everytime he was in the presence of Jingxue-Jun, something that made him unable to take his eyes off the man, something that made him want to be better and better so that he could make Jingxue-Jun proud of him. Alas, before he managed to identify what it was, the man had left this world. Tragically. How could Shan Duoyin be reconciled?!
The two protagonists bonded closer after their beloved shixiong’s death, seeking warmth and comfort like two wounded animals that tended to each other’s wounds.
