These fairies want me to deal with them every day.

Then he shouted at Wei Tu like a madman.

"But I have no way out! I can't turn back!!"

Wei Tu stared intently at Ming Quan's seemingly sudden breakdown and said.

"The story should be true, but the roles of the characters need to be reversed, right?"

Ming Quan nodded hesitantly, then smiled as if she had given up on herself.

"Yes... I was the one who delivered the first and the last strike. But I swear... I swear... I really didn't expect it to come to this."

"But the disaster has already happened."

Wei Tu said this.

Ming Quan nodded listlessly, then looked at Wei Tu.

"Junior Brother Wei... do I still have a chance?"

Wei Tu looked at Ming Quan and said calmly.

"You only have three choices now. The first is to run away now and become a missing person, completely disappearing from the Yuanjian Sect's sight. The second is to wait here for the sect's people to come, take you back, and question you about what happened. You will most likely be punished. Your lies can only fool a girl like Senior Sister Bai."

Ming Quan's lips twitched slightly.

"And the third one?"

Wei Tu smiled.

"The third option is to kill both me and Senior Sister Bai, then hide our bodies. When the sect members arrive, you can make up lies as you please, because no one can expose you."

"..."

Ming Quan raised her longsword towards Wei Tu.

Wei Tu looked at Ming Quan calmly, without any change in his eyes.

Mingquan sighed and gently put the longsword down.

His eyes began to show pain.

“Junior Brother Wei, you don’t know… how much I wanted to be a good senior brother back then. I wanted them all to calm down, I wanted them to be with me through this difficult time, I wanted everyone to survive and enjoy the happiness of surviving a catastrophe. But… but I found I couldn’t do it. When the problem arose… do you know what I was thinking when I killed Fu An? I was… afraid. I was afraid Fu An would really betray us, so my thought became: to survive, I had to get rid of him…”

Ming Quan chuckled self-deprecatingly and looked at Wei Tu.

“At first, I did want to kill you and Bai Youwei. Before I saw you, I even assumed you were dead. I even prayed that you were dead. That way, I could return to the sect and deceive everyone… But since you are not dead, and I am no match for you, Junior Brother Wei, it seems that the matter has been settled.”

Wei Tu said softly.

"People tend to do things they don't understand when they're in a state of uncertainty. Go back to your sect and explain it to the elders."

"I'm not going back."

Ming Quan said with a smile.

Wei Tu looked at Ming Quan, only to find that the other party did not want to escape from here, but instead held a long sword to his neck.

Wei Tu shook his head.

There's no need for that.

"No, it is necessary."

Mingquan, who was holding her own neck, laughed sadly.

“Junior Brother Wei, I’m ruined. I’ve ruined myself. I have no hope of reaching the Great Dao anymore. I might even fall into the demonic path, but I don’t want to. You know, I joined the Yuanjian Sect because my parents were killed by people from the demonic path, and I wanted revenge. But now… before I even fell into the demonic path, I’ve already become a demon.”

He gripped his sword tightly and looked up at the bright moonlight.

“I’ve let down so many people, including Junior Sister Xu. Perhaps none of us should have come this time, but… that’s no excuse. I was too weak in the cave back then, only thinking of escaping in the most extreme way. So I should pay the price, Junior Brother Wei…”

"Please speak, Senior Brother Ming."

Wei Tu wasn't sarcastic or sarcastic; he admired people like that.

What I admire is not Ming Quan's ruthlessness—she could even kill herself—but her courage to face her mistakes and to atone for them in this way after realizing her errors.

Ming Quan smiled sincerely as she looked at Wei Tu.

“Junior Brother Wei, you are a very capable person. No one can create one miracle after another like you. So if possible... I hope that in the future you can teach your junior brothers and sisters in Yuanjian Sect, so that they don’t die like us... without dignity.”

Wei Tu nodded, deciding not to stop the man's decision.

"I see."

Thank you.

"You're welcome."

Mingquan felt the sword's edge brushing against her neck.

He took a deep breath and looked at the moon.

It was as if he could see those faces, those who died by his sword and those who did not.

He was actually lying.

He has been lying to this day.

He did not allow those people to violate Xu Zhao, nor did he violate Xu Zhao himself.

That was his last sanctuary, but the woman, unable to bear it all, chose to commit suicide.

Perhaps... perhaps this is the biggest reason why he now understands Xu Zhao's thoughts and despair back then.

He could indeed escape, he could return to his sect to make excuses, he could preserve himself, he could live a lowly life, he could disregard everything just to survive.

But...but...

Does surviving like that count as living?

He was just a sinner, a walking corpse.

In the end, he wanted to maintain some dignity, even knowing it was all in vain.

Even knowing that I cannot atone for even a little bit of my sins.

But this was the best way he could think of; as for the rest... he could repay him in the next life.

The moonlight covered her cheeks.

The sword's edge sliced ​​across the skin of his throat.

Fresh blood spurted out, soaking his clothes.

He knelt on the ground, his face pale, but he did not fall. Instead, he used his sword to stab the ground, kneeling on his own, facing the direction of the sect.

His gaze was fixed on the moonlight.

The moon is so beautiful; the human world should be as pure as its moonlight.

Wei Tu returned to the sleeping girl's side.

He put his arm around her soft waist.

"Where is Senior Brother Ming...?"

Bai Youwei asked softly, as if in a dream.

Wei Tu thought for a moment.

"He left."

"kindness……"

Don't you find it strange?

Bai Youwei shook her head.

Looking at the shimmering water.

"I'm just sad." PS: I still want to apologize to everyone. The latter half of the previous chapter... I'm really sorry for writing it that way. Actually, it was a minor interlude, and I could have completely omitted it; it wouldn't have affected anything. However, to make some logic flow better, such as how Bai Youwei's identity was hidden, I still added that plot. Actually, in the reincarnation book, I often wrote about the dark side of human nature. But I still feel that everyone reads to enjoy themselves, and I shouldn't write things that make you uncomfortable. Feeling uncomfortable is still uncomfortable, so I'll try not to write such things in the future. I'll write more things that are light and enjoyable for everyone. Reading shouldn't be too heavy; you should find joy here... I'm very sorry. Also, this PS is free because the main text has reached 3,000 words, so you don't need to worry about this 'nonsense'. Have a relaxing and enjoyable time.

84 It's good that you're back?

It was three days later when the people from Yuanjian Sect arrived.

During these three days, Wei Tu and Bai Youwei still did not do anything out of line.

They were just strolling around the perimeter, and Wei Tu took the opportunity to venture deeper and obtain another Sunfire Grass.

It can be considered as something lost and then found again.

For the past three days, they have not mentioned anything about what happened before, including what Bai Youwei thought was the departure of 'Ming Quan'.

Wei Tu didn't explain anything. He knew that these things didn't need explaining. What needed to be explained was how to explain the reasons for all of this to the sect.

For example, why did those people come? This is related to whether Bai Youwei's identity will be exposed.

However, since almost everyone who knew about this was dead, it wasn't impossible to fabricate a plausible reason, so there was no psychological burden.

Lu Qingyan's arrival was on a sunny day.

They had been waiting at the coordinates for three days, eating fish, shrimp, and some relatively normal small animals they hunted each day.

They lived a life like the most primitive savages.

Until that woman arrived.

She appeared under the blazing sun, carrying a long sword and walking hurriedly. Her hair flew in the wind, and her face showed indescribable fatigue, as if she could clearly know how she had traveled day and night without a moment's rest. She finally saw the young man.

His long hair was loosely draped over his shoulders, yet he was completely unharmed.

Lu Qingyan couldn't help but rush up and hug the boy she had taken care of for many years.

In my heart, I still see him mostly as that child from back then.

They need their own care and protection.

So she still felt sorry for him, especially when she saw Wei Tu's unprecedentedly unkempt appearance. She felt that this young man had suffered a lot here and endured a lot of fear and worry.

As she quickly approached the smiling boy, she noticed Bai Youwei standing to the side.

She hesitated for a moment and did not extend her hands.
