"Baili Jingxuan!"
Song Wuji, who had rushed over, exclaimed from behind.
He lunged forward and supported Baili Jingxuan, who had fallen onto Master Baili.
Crimson blood dripped from his chest onto the blade.
Drip, drip, drip, onto the ground.
Gu Qianying stood frozen, unable to snap out of it for a long time.
She had killed Baili Jingxuan!
She had actually killed Baili Jingxuan!
Baili Jingxuan was her dear friend, Baili Su's elder brother!
Yet he had died by her hand!
"Sister Qianying, it's not your fault. It was me... I did it willingly."
Baili Jingxuan leaned against Song Wuji, weakly lifting his gaze to look at Gu Qianying.
At this moment, he seemed to have guessed Gu Qianying's thoughts.
Gu Qianying looked at Baili Jingxuan, remaining silent.
But a sense of self-reproach surged into her heart.
"I couldn't just watch my own father die before my eyes. You'll understand me, won't you?"
He spat out a mouthful of blood.
Baili Jingxuan clutched Song Wuji's collar.
His face was pale as he looked at Song Wuji, as if seeking his support and understanding.
Song Wuji's eyes misted over.
"Yes, I understand. I can understand. I don't blame you."
As these words left Song Wuji's mouth, his tongue trembled.
Baili Jingxuan slowly raised his hand and touched Song Wuji's face: "Promise me, live well."
The mist in Song Wuji's eyes intensified.
He didn't speak.
He gripped Baili Jingxuan's hand. The words he wanted to refuse died on his lips as he saw the blood flowing from the corner of Baili Jingxuan's mouth, and his heart immediately softened.
"Okay, I understand. I promise you. You be good too, and live well with me, okay? I'm begging you."
Hearing this.
Baili Jingxuan smiled again.
Alright.
At this moment, it was clearly self-deception.
But Song Wuji couldn't bear to shatter this "lie."
And Baili Jingxuan continued to speak according to Song Wuji's wishes.
He also knew that his time was running out.
Meanwhile, Master Baili, seeing that everyone's attention was on his son, Baili Jingxuan, immediately turned to flee for his life.
Gu Qianying saw this and did not stop him.
She didn't want to kill Master Baili in front of Baili Jingxuan.
She didn't want Baili Jingxuan to be sadder.
However... at this moment, it wasn't just her who noticed Master Baili's escape; the extremely weak Baili Jingxuan also noticed his father's movements.
Seeing this.
He suddenly pushed Song Wuji away.
To everyone's astonishment.
He was seen enduring the pain as he pulled out the Scarlet Blood Blade lodged in his chest.
One step, two steps, he caught up to Master Baili and thrust the other end of the blade towards Master Baili's back.
Song Wuji's eyes widened in shock. He hurried forward, intending to support the staggering Baili Jingxuan.
But before he could get close to Baili Jingxuan.
Baili Jingxuan actually pushed the blade in his hand deeper.
Master Baili spat out a large mouthful of blood. He turned his head, staring at Baili Jingxuan standing behind him in disbelief.
"Son, you...!"
He had never imagined that his son, who had taken a sword for him, would turn around and try to kill him!
"Father, the kindness of raising me, your son has repaid. But... you killed Mother and Little Sister. Your son cannot pretend... that nothing happened. Father... why did you kill them? They were your family!"
The last few words were roared out by Baili Jingxuan.
The wind stirred.
His body swayed precariously, and he could no longer hold on, collapsing.
A hand reached out from behind his waist and suddenly embraced him.
He turned his head to look at the person holding him in their arms, their eyes filled only with him.
Song Wuji!
Whenever he was in trouble, he would appear.
When he fell, he would also appear.
It was so good.
Master Baili fell backward heavily.
The Scarlet Blood Blade was still stuck in his back.
His pupils widened, and he tilted his head to look towards Baili Jingxuan, his mouth agape.
At this moment, Song Wuji held Baili Jingxuan, his heart and eyes focused only on him, ignoring everything else.
Gu Qianying noticed that Master Baili seemed to want to say something.
She walked up to Master Baili and crouched down.
A calloused hand suddenly reached out and grabbed the hem of her skirt.
Gu Qianying's face turned cold, and she frowned. After a moment of hesitation, she leaned her ear closer.
"Su'er... he... he ate... beast cores... Su'er... he is..."
Gu Qianying's eyes widened in shock.
She had never expected Master Baili to mention Baili Su's name.
Then, she leaned closer, wanting to hear Master Baili's complete words.
"Su'er... he ate... he ate pills, he is..."
Master Baili tightly clutched Gu Qianying's clothes, desperately wanting to finish his words, but... his consciousness was gradually fading...
