"I know." The Sky Azure Bull Python spoke slowly. "If you had killed Sister Xiao Wu, Er Ming would not have returned alive to the lakeside. I can sense that Sister Xiao Wu sacrificed herself willingly. A Spirit Beast's sacrifice is different from being hunted. The Spirit Beast must willingly offer up its life and soul; otherwise, no external force can compel it."
Its voice gradually grew heavy, pressing down upon the lake's surface and making the ripples tremble faintly.
"Who was the person Sister Xiao Wu willingly sacrificed herself for?"
Zhou Qiubai withdrew his warm hand from his sleeve and rubbed his brow.
He knew he would have to answer this question sooner or later, but when the moment truly came, he realized that explaining everything clearly would not be easy.
Although Tang San and he were locked in an endless struggle, some things still needed to be viewed objectively.
One had to be open and aboveboard in one's conduct.
After all, those who upheld justice were always selfless, were they not?
"She sacrificed herself for someone named Tang San."
What followed was what Yang Guyun and Shui Bing'er already knew.
The Sky Azure Bull Python did not interrupt him and quietly waited for him to continue.
"If you want to ask what kind of person he is, all I can say is that he has Spirit Beast bloodline. After all, in a sense, we are both rivals and enemies, so rather than hearing it from me, you should experience it for yourself."
He paused, then added, "That isn't meant to disparage him. It's simply the truth."
Shui Bing'er nodded softly beside him.
She had also seen that match. A bad person had done a good deed; no matter how one judged it, it did not seem quite appropriate.
