Supreme Sovereign

After arriving at Yunhai Port, standing outside, Qin Yi stopped here. ơɱ

After a moment, he took a deep breath, and finally walked slowly towards the interior of Yunhai Port.

Because of the Silver Snow Kingdom invasion, the entire Yunhai Empire was greatly affected. There are not many people coming and going in Yunhai Port now. Apart from a few local forces, the only ones who are here now are the Yin Yang Academy disciples who came out of the mining area not long ago.

Qin Yi's speed became faster and faster, and his footsteps became more and more determined. Through his spiritual exploration, he already knew where Duanmucheng and others were staying. After a while, he finally arrived at his destination.

Here is an extremely secretive private house that looks unremarkable. It can be seen that Lu Yu still put some thought into choosing this place.

After a gentle knock on the door, an extremely alert voice soon came from inside the house: "Who is it?"

Qin Yi calmly replied: "It's me."

After hearing Qin Yi's voice, there was a burst of urgent footsteps in the house, and then the door was opened.

It was Ning Qiancheng who opened the door. As soon as he saw Qin Yi, he asked anxiously: "How is the situation?"

Qin Yi nodded and said: "It has been solved. I think they will not come here again."

After hearing this, Ning Qiancheng finally breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's good!"

There was not too much joy on Qin Yi's face, he just said "hmm" softly, and then asked: "Where is Master Duanmu?"

Hearing this, Ning Qiancheng's face became a lot darker again. He glanced inside, then turned sideways and let Qin Yi in.

…

In the innermost room of the house, an old man was kneeling on the ground. Although his back was turned to Qin Yi and the others, he could still see how haggard he was at the moment.

His hair was disheveled, and the gray hair was like a pile of weeds, covering the top of his head.

Compared with before, he looked a bit older now.

He sat there motionless, even his breathing seemed to have stopped, like a statue.

And on the bed in front of him, lay a cold corpse. This person is none other than Duanmucheng’s disciple—Guozhong!

"Brother Qin, you are his disciple, he should listen to you, go in and persuade him!"

Lu Yu walked in from outside. He sighed and said helplessly: "Ever since they brought Senior Brother Guozhong's body back, he has been like this, not even moving."

Qin Yi nodded slightly, then took a step forward and walked in.

After approaching Duanmucheng, Qin Yi was even more shocked by his expression at this moment.

Apart from staring blankly at the corpse in front of him, there was no expression on his face, not even a hint of sadness.

However, sometimes it is this expressionless face that is the scariest thing.

At this moment, Duanmu City gave Qin Yi the feeling that he was a walking corpse, his soul had long since left his body and disappeared into ashes. From his body, Qin Yi could not feel the slightest will to survive. It was as if if he pushed lightly with a finger now, he would die immediately.

Seeing Duanmu City in front of me, I thought about the weird old man who always had a shameless smile on his face and was gearing up for Qin Yi, no matter how hard Qin Yi attacked him. Suddenly, Qin Yi felt as if his heart had been stabbed hard by a sword. The pain was unbearable!

"Master, I'm sorry!"

Suddenly, Qin Yi knelt down on the ground and said, "I didn't rush over in time to rescue senior brother!"

"Qin Yi..."

At this time, Duanmucheng finally spoke. But at this moment, his voice was as hoarse and lifeless as if he had swallowed charcoal: "You always like this, like to take all the responsibilities on you. Although I, Duanmucheng, am not a big shot, I can still be considered a living person. I have been involved in alchemy for many years. I can still see the injuries on Guozhong’s body. He has been dead for too long! "

Qin Yidao: "Master, I don't want to see you looking so sad now. I think the same goes for Senior Brother Guozhong."

Duanmucheng spoke very slowly: "Guozhong has followed me since childhood. In my eyes, he is not just a disciple, but more like my son. He is the person I have devoted my whole life to! Now that he has been ruined, I It feels like half of my life has been lost with him.”

Qin Yi was speechless. He knew that at this time, no one could persuade Duanmucheng.

To be honest, at a time like this, talking about condolences and living well is basically equivalent to farting.

When comfort has no effect, the only thing that can be done is companionship.

At that moment, Qin Yi didn't say much, but found a seat beside Duanmucheng and knelt down, and together with Duanmucheng, stood guard in front of Guozhong.

I don't know how long I knelt this time. Even Qin Yi felt waves of pain coming from his knees.

At this time, Duanmucheng suddenly spoke: "Qin Yi, good disciple. Thank you for staying with me. I am much better."

Hearing Duanmucheng say these words himself, Qin Yi finally felt relieved.

"Actually, I know that you want me to understand that I am not alone."

At this moment, Duanmucheng's voice seemed extremely calm: "But you are wrong. I have never had any unresolved thoughts. I know that Guozhong would rather see me cheer up than be depressed! I have never changed this point. But I just can't accept this reality. I am here, praying for a miracle, hoping that Guozhong can stand up again. However, after waiting for this period of time, I can accept it."

After a pause, Duanmucheng continued: "Sadness is inevitable. I think you should understand this, right? No matter who it is, it can't slow down this emotion. I can only let myself slowly digest and accept it in my heart."

Qin Yi nodded and said nothing.

"Thanks to you."

Duanmucheng stood up and patted Qin Yi on the shoulder: "If it weren't for you, I don't know how long it would take for me to recover. Qin Yi, although Guozhong is gone, you let me know that I still have someone to care about. I hope to see you and move towards a brighter future!"

...

Walking out of the door and strolling on the cold streets of Yunhai Port, Qin Yi's heart was filled with thousands of emotions!

Duanmucheng said a lot to him and made it clear that he must see him succeed, as if his fighting spirit had been ignited!

But he knew very well that from the moment Guozhong died, Duanmucheng was destined to never be the same as before!
