White-Haired Man, Heart Extraction

I looked at "One-Eye." This time, he surprisingly said nothing and continued following behind me.

Aunt Qin finally stood before me. "That old man is stubborn as hell. I told him to stay put with me, that we'd meet up with you eventually—it was only a matter of waiting a little longer or a little less. But he refused. He said that meeting up with you sooner meant less danger for us. I couldn't talk him out of it, so I had no choice but to agree.

I wanted to see just how capable "One-Eye" was. Someone who could make Ding Ru and the others fear him so much had to possess
