Chapter 56 - 『To This World's Yore』

The third time Xue Yang had felt warmth, was when he received unconditional love and attention from one of the four main Sects.

Yunmeng Jiang.

It didn't take long enough for his heart to open up for someone other than the red gege. Though his favorite person would still be Wei Xun.

Still, he hates the man's so called younger brother with a passion.

Xue Yang would do anything for his gege's happiness and comfort.

Because he knows him the best. He hates troublesome things, so the least Xue Yang could do was take even a little of his burden.

Indeed, Xue Yang knows him the best, even though it's a self-proclaimed one.

He continued to fly atop of his sword, his breathing ragged as he held the orb close to his chest and dared not to look behind him.

"Where the fuck is that damn mutt?!"

Even though he said such harsh words, what he wants to see the most was that annoying smile plastered on that bastard's face, or even the familiar frown of Jiang Cheng would be nice.

He needs someone with a familiar face.

"Gege..."

Xue Yang let out a hoarse scream when something sharp pierced his abdomen, yet he still held the orb tightly in his grasps.

"Aiyah. I already said that you should give whatever object you're holding to me."

He looks at the man in yellow robes with scorn, baring his teeth like a wild animal in front of a predator.

"Fucking bastard." Xue Yang says with a gritted teeth before coughing out a mouthful of blood.

If it was only Jin Zixun alone, he knew that he can beat him. Yet there were a bunch of them.

But then again, there were also unknown monsters lurking in the mountain. And Xue Yang would bet all of his fortune that the idiots in front of him didn't notice a thing.

"Eat shit, damn pricks." Xue Yang says, concentrating his every spiritual energy into the orb.

Such object contains something entirely related to his gege. And he would rather kill himself than to give such thing to the hands of someone like Jin Zixun.

A crack reverberated, and Xue Yang didn't know whether it was from the orb he's holding or it's from the bone in his waist that resounded.

He doesn't care if it hurtsㅡno, he would rather ignore the pain.

To this world's yore, Xue Yang would do whatever it takes to let the past remain buried.

Even if it means he'll exchange his life for it.

Wei Xunㅡ

No...

Cale Henituse was Xue Yang's salvation.

He cries out, pouring his remaining vitality into destroying the device in his hands before everything went eerily silent.

Xue Yang couldn't feel anything. He just felt...empty.

He couldn't even feel the sword that was stabbed straight to his heart as he looked apathetically against Jin Zixun.

"Xue Yang!"

Ah.

This would be the first that he'll feel relieved seeing that annoyingly familiar face of Wei Wuxian.

"Wei...Wu...xian..."

Soon enough, the child fell limp with a small, contented smile on his face.

Jin Zixun was shoved away, though they don't care about the bastard at the moment.

"Shixiong...did I...do...good...?"

He couldn't but let the tears freely fall from his sunken eyes as he looked at the older's eyes who cradled him like an infant.

"Xian...shixiong...tell me...did I...do good...? I'm sure...Xun-ge...would tell...me so..."

Wei Ying could feel his breath hitch on his throat. He could feel how hard it was for him to breath.

"You did good, you did good. I'm sure gege would praise you, so let's wait for him together."

Xue Yang couldn't answer anymore.

"Shidi...wake up. Gege will scold me, he won't let us eat sweets if you don't wake up. Xue Yang...hey brat..."

Wei Ying let out a shuddered gasp.

"Wake up..."

There was no heartbeat that could be heard from the child.
