Reunion Ending?
After Xiao Xiao finished her test, it was time to go to He Caitou's side.
In the same pattern, a golden light descended from the sky, enveloping He Caitou.
Tang San stood outside the golden light, his face expressionless, and asked the same question as before.
It's simply a matter of choosing between yourself and Xiao Xiao if you could only live.
However, He Caitou's answer stunned Xiao Xiao, who was watching all of this.
Because He Caitou spoke almost without hesitation, saying, "I will ensure my survival."
"What?!"
The Three-Eyed Golden Lion suddenly jumped up from the ground, looking on incredulously.
How could he say that!
The Three-Eyed Golden Lion said angrily, its little paws clenched tightly. "Sister Xiao Xiao was willing to die for him, but he actually chose to live on! That's too much! Too selfish!"
Gu Yuena shook her head gently, her expression becoming somewhat complicated.
"Human nature is indeed the most vulnerable thing."
Gu Yuena said softly, "When faced with life and death, most people think of themselves first."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Xiao shed tears of sorrow.
She stood there, watching He Caitou's retreating figure, feeling as if something had stabbed her heart, causing her intense pain.
She was so brave and so determined to sacrifice herself for him.
But he chose to live on without hesitation.
However, He Caitou quickly offered an explanation.
He said it wasn't that he didn't love Xiao Xiao, but that he still had a grudge to settle.
He was originally the eldest son of the Sun Moon Imperial Family, named Xu He. Later, his entire family was executed by Xu Tianran, and he was the only one who escaped.
He carried the blood feud of his entire family on his shoulders; he could not die.
If he dies, then the Xu Clan's revenge will never be achieved.
He said that if there were an afterlife, he would be willing to be Xiao Xiao's pet, staying by her side forever, never going anywhere else.

On the recliner, Wang Dong'er sneered, her eyes full of disdain.
"Ha, what a perfectly respectable reason."
Wang Dong'er said coldly, "A blood feud involving the whole family? Is he the only one with hatred? Who in this world doesn't have their own difficulties and obsessions? Using this as an excuse to abandon the person you love is just too irresponsible."

"Actually, we can't entirely blame him."
Zhang Lexuan Zhang Lexuan softly and said in a low voice, "Carrying the burden of a family massacre is indeed a very heavy thing."
If it were someone else, they might have made the same choice.
But... what he did was so unfair to Xiao Xiao.
To this I can only say that although the reasons are quite valid, they are enough to show that He Caitou is not a very good person at heart.
Who doesn't carry some burden? Who doesn't have difficulties?
Are you the only one with a blood feud with He Caitou? Do you have any excuses?
Xiao Xiao also has her own parents and people she cares about.
But in the face of life and death, she still chose He Caitou.
All I can say is that Tang San's test, though despicable and disgusting, can indeed reveal the true nature of some people to a certain extent.
No matter how sweet your words or how many vows you make, it's all useless.
Only in the moment of life-or-death decision can one truly see what is most important to a person.
Tang Ya leaned against the dormitory door frame, her eyes somewhat cold.
"Lin Ye is right."
Tang Ya said coldly, "Excuses are always just excuses. If you truly love someone, how could you bear to let her die?"
I also bear the blood feud of the Tang Sect, and I also bear the hatred of my parents, but if Bei Bei is in danger, I will not hesitate to die in his place."

Ning Tian frowned, a look of disdain on his face.
"What a coward."
Ning Tian said disdainfully, "If he can't even protect the woman he loves, what's the point of talking about revenge? Even if he does get his revenge in the end, he'll live with guilt and regret for the rest of his life."
Next up is the second challenge, the Great Adventure section.
He Caitou was trapped in a hallucination.
He woke up in the basement of the Virtue Hall. It was pitch black all around, with only a single oil lamp overhead casting a faint glow.
He looked up and saw Xu Tianran.
Xu Tianran was sitting in a chair, looking at him with a half-smile.
The background here is roughly that Xu Tianran finally discovered He Caitou's true identity, that is, Xu He, captured him, and then wanted to have a heart-to-heart talk with him here. After the talk, he would kill Xu He.
Just as He Caitou was about to fight back desperately, he suddenly realized that his body seemed very weak.
His Soul Power had vanished without a trace, leaving him unable to muster even the slightest strength.
Xu Tianran slapped him lightly, sending him flying. He crashed heavily into the wall and spat out a mouthful of blood.
Just as Xu Tianran grinned maliciously and walked step by step toward him, about to end his life, a petite figure suddenly rushed out and blocked his way.
It was Xiao Xiao became Titled Douluo.
The Far North.
Snow Empress looked at the diary entries in her mind and said softly, "Illusions are the things that can best expose a person's deepest fears. He Caitou's greatest fear in his life was Xu Tianran, and the blood feud he was unable to avenge."

Ju Zi's expression became somewhat complicated.
"Xu Tianran..."
Ju Zi murmured the name softly, a hint of hatred and fear flashing in her eyes. "This illusion is exactly the same as reality. Xu Tianran is such a ruthless person; he will kill any enemy he has."
Then, a violent explosion suddenly occurred throughout the basement.
Flames shot into the sky, and rubble flew everywhere.
Xiao Xiao rushed into He Caitou, and the two hugged each other tightly.
He Caitou held Xiao Xiao in his arms and said in a hoarse voice, "Xiao Xiao, why are you so silly?"
Xiao Xiao raised her head, looked into his eyes, and said earnestly, "No matter how big your enemies are, let's face them together, okay?"
The two of them thus deepened their feelings for each other in the Heaven-and-Earth Valley of Love Inquiry.
All the previous barriers and misunderstandings vanished in that moment.
He Caitou finally understood that in this world, besides revenge, there were things more important than anything else worth cherishing.
Shrek Academy, Inner Court.
Ma Xiaotao looked at the diary entries in her mind and couldn't help but smile.
"Great, it's finally complete."
Ma Xiaotao said with a smile, "Although He Caitou's previous choice was indeed a bit infuriating, he finally understood Xiao Xiao's feelings, and they will definitely be happy together in the future."
