Mei's Wail of Grief

"Fourth Junior Brother, how much longer can Third Junior Brother hold on?!"

Suye looked up at the full moon hanging in the sky, his voice slightly choked.

"His lung was pierced. I barely stabilized his injury with acupuncture, but it's ultimately just quenching thirst with poison. At most, three days. If Third Senior Brother doesn't receive better treatment within three days, he'll die from a respiratory infection!"

Hearing Suye's answer, Mei suddenly grabbed Xunri's sleeve.

"Xunri, Senior Sister has never asked anything of you! But now I'm begging you—do everything you can to save your Third Senior Brother. Even if you have to search the entire world for Master! He took that blade for me. If that fool hadn't been such a fool, I'd be the one lying here today."

Xunri trembled all over, struggling inwardly. They had reached the most critical stage; under his attacks, the Restoration Faction had already retreated into the Kyoto region.

As long as he pressed his advantage, he could climb to the very peak of this country's hierarchy of power in one stroke.

But as he looked at his senior sister, whose eyes were swollen red from crying, Xunri's desire for power was ultimately defeated by the bonds they had shared for so many years.

He took a deep breath, and his gaze gradually hardened.

"Don't worry, Senior Sister! I'll bring the best doctors here, and I'll send out the entire Intelligence Department to find Master and Eldest Senior Sister!"

Seven years already! Hopefully Eldest Senior Sister and Master had both come down from the mountain by now!

Xunri thought worriedly to himself.

Over the years, they had also tried to return, but after leaving that place, when they went back again, the mountain peak where they had trained was nowhere to be found.
