"I'm so tired......"

I could hardly support the pain in my heart at this moment, and slowly knelt on the ground, looking up at the cold, emotionless, and temperatureless spiritual position, but it was as if I saw that tall and gentle man, who had been giving me the best care since I was born.

Why, you didn't keep doing it?

Why, can't you protect me all the time?

Why, do I have to bear the current qiē?

I cried softly, tears fell drop by drop, low to the ground, the sound of clicking and clicking seemed more lonely in this empty ancestral room, the wind, blowing in from the door behind me, blowing my hair messy, but also the sadness of this moment cold.

Let's go, let's ......

Tears slipped down one by one, like the sound of human footsteps.

I cried so hard that my thin shoulders twitched slightly, and I even grabbed my wrists in my sleeves hard, and my fingernails scratched them, leaving bloody marks.

Just then, the wind stopped behind me.

And I reached out and drew the short knife from my sleeve, and with a bang, the cold light came out of its sheath, and as soon as I turned around, it pointed directly at the tall man I was standing behind me.

The moonlight, and all the light outside the ancestral hall, were blocked by this tall figure.

In front of my eyes, it was dark for a moment.

I never realized that he was a tall, muscular man, even taller and more powerful than many people I knew—perhaps because, in my consciousness, I only remembered his quiet appearance when he first stood in the inner pavilion, holding a book, so many of his other faces were subconsciously ignored by me.

Maybe it's because he's always hid it well.

And now, he doesn't have to hide anymore.

Even at this moment, the person standing in front of me is still the same person from more than ten years ago.

Quiet and elegant, even after experiencing so many things in the past few days, and even the corners of his clothes have been stained with a lot of mud and blood, his body still exudes a faint and elegant atmosphere that belongs to him, and it is even exactly the same as the person who took the "Commentary on the Thirteen Classics" from my hand at the beginning.

The only difference is that this time, I am not holding a book with the scent of ink.

It's a cold-shining knife!

The blade was already close to his chest, and the cold light also reflected his eyes.

Also at this moment, the sharp blade cut something between the two people.

The wind stopped, and even his breathing stopped, but I could clearly hear his breathing and heartbeat stagnate at this moment, but there was no expression of surprise on his face, and even calmer and more silent than ever.

I gritted my teeth and looked at him: "Pei Yuanxiu......"

And he lowered his eyes, glanced at the sharp, cold-lit short knife that had been pressed against his chest, and said calmly, "You know I'm here?"

"I'm just wondering where you can hide. ”

"So you found it?"

"But, you shouldn't come in. ”

“……”

"You killed my mother, you killed the old lady of the Yan family, you shouldn't enter the Yan family's ancestral hall again!"

The corners of his eyes narrowed slightly, and he said, "You shouldn't let others kill me." ”

I shuddered slightly.

He looked at me calmly, as if the sharp short knife against his chest was nothing but nothingness to him, he looked into my eyes and said word by word: "I said that I don't want to die at the hands of others. ”

“……”

"I won't die at the hands of others!"

“……”

"But you, let someone else kill me. ”

“……”

I just felt heartache, and my face was clearly stained with tears, but I couldn't shed a single tear again.

Xue Qian, as a mother, as a mother who I lost and recovered, as a mother who didn't want to see her children wronged, in order not to embarrass me, in order to protect me, she went into the dungeon instead of me to kill him, and wanted to get rid of this matter.

But he didn't expect it, but it angered him because of it!

At this moment, my heart hurt unspeakably.

Every word of his was like a fiery needle, piercing straight into my chest and into my heart.

But am I to blame her?

Still blame myself!

Pei Yuanxiu looked down at me, looking at me in pain, his gaze was even a little colder than the cold light of the blade reflected on his face: "Between us, don't you even have the last bit of tacit understanding?"

I bit my lower lip, then took a deep breath and looked up at him: "So, you sue me, what if last night, it was me, who came to kill you?"

“……”

"If it wasn't my mother, but me, what would be the end now?"

“……”

His eyes flickered slightly.

In his flickering gaze, a smile slowly appeared on my face, clear and cold, my eyes looked at him without blinking, and I whispered: "Who is lying on the mourning hall now?"

“……”

"Is it you, or me?"

“……”

The light in his eyes was slowly extinguishing with my words, and at this time, I heard a gust of wind outside, a rustle as it blew through the treetops, and the clouds slowly obscured the moon and the faint light, and at this moment, not only his gaze, but even the outline of his whole person sank into the night.

He and I faced each other wordlessly.

I don't know how long it took, he spoke, and a somewhat hoarse voice said slowly, "I don't know. ”

“……”

I was silent for a moment, then chuckled.

It turned out that he would also answer my question with this sentence.

I thought that a person like him must have thought about everything when he was doing something, even his own life and death, he could make arrangements in advance, but he sued me about this matter - he didn't know.

It was obviously a helpless answer, but at this moment, it made me laugh.

And this laugh, more tears rolled in the eyes, but my heart seemed to be a little unable to bear the heaviness of the moment, a more intense colic made me clench my teeth, but I laughed more and more, looking at him: "Could it be that the two of us are lying on the mourning hall now?"

“……”

"So, isn't it a better ending?"

“……”

He looked at me and didn't speak, but I felt his eyebrows furrow slightly, and he gritted his teeth as if it were in severe pain.

Then, his somewhat hollow voice rang out on this icy night—

"Why didn't you think that there could be another ending between us?"
