Chapter 306 - 282: The Vastness of Heaven and Earth
Rong Zhi quietly held her hand.
His hands were pale and cold, yet his movements contained boundless gentleness. Chu Yu could see blood beads seeping from the corners of his eyes, sliding down his cheeks, and when they fell into the snow, they turned into vivid red beans.
"How could this happen? Wasn’t it said that your health had improved in the past two years... I understand now, did you pay some price to come here?" Chu Yu was both anxious and afraid, wanting to wipe the blood from the corners of his eyes, yet fearing she might hurt him. She looked at Rong Zhi with a pleading gaze and choked up, "Rong Zhi, think of something... Aren’t you always full of ideas?" With so many tricks, there must be some that could work, right?
Rong Zhi smiled faintly, "What can be done? As you’ve said, no matter how capable I am, I can’t overcome fate. Ending it this way isn’t that bad."
Watching the blood flow from the corners of Rong Zhi’s eyes and lips, and after a while, it also began trickling from his nose and ears, leaving Chu Yu utterly cold and helpless.
Bleeding from seven orifices.
The mottled blood traces flowed across his snowy, handsome, and pure face. Amidst the horrifying eeriness, there emerged a transcendent serenity. Rong Zhi smiled, and casually scooped up a handful of snow to wipe his disheveled face.
He had done the same thing a while ago, but back then only his lips were bleeding. Now, it seemed that the final outburst had arrived.
Chu Yu didn’t speak or move, while Rong Zhi reversed the grip and grasped her palm, bringing it to his lips and gently kissed it, softly saying, "I originally didn’t want you to know, but since you’ve found out, I’ll tell you. In Ping City, I lost. I lost to Feng Ting and Tian Rujing."
"Tian Rujing temporarily gave me the bracelet to let me travel two thousand miles to reach Luoyang. While I could still manipulate the bracelet, I looked at the contents inside. In the coming decades, neither the Southern Dynasty nor the Northern Dynasty will be very stable, but there will always be places that will have a few years of peace. I’ve already written this in a letter, which I’ve given to my subordinate to carry. You should find a person named Lu Ming later and ask him for it. Based on what’s written, you can decide where to go."
