Chapter 724: Guilt
"Back then, when Daoist Master risked his life to draw away the enemy, we parted ways and rushed to the island to seek help. Senior Ran Luo led a rescue party out, but returned empty-handed..."
In the quiet chamber, Qin Sang sat across from the Wang Sisters, listening to their account of what had happened all those years ago.
He was slightly taken aback. It was no wonder the sisters had reacted with such emotion upon seeing him.
They had witnessed Qin Sang face the enemy alone, buying them time to escape. Rather than using them as bait, he had chosen to protect them. To them, he had become a lifesaving benefactor, a memory they had carried with them to this day.
But truthfully, Qin Sang had not given it much thought at the time. He had simply urged them to flee because their cultivation was too low. If they had stayed, they would only have been a burden.
Yet a casual decision on his part had carried extraordinary meaning for others.
That said, one thing they mentioned wasn’t entirely wrong.
He had indeed never considered using them as bait to distract the enemy while he made his own escape.
"Congratulations, Daoist, on reaching the Great Dao of Golden Core. I assume your younger sister is also close to her breakthrough? How are the other three Daoists faring these days?"
Qin Sang smiled as he looked at the two.
The elder sister blushed slightly and replied,
"I owe my breakthrough to Daoist Master. During the years we followed you, witnessing your profound cultivation and tireless diligence served as immense inspiration to us.
