"All right."
"When the final battle begins, I'll be there."
Yu Sheng nodded gently. "You can go."
Yu Mo said nothing. He merely raised both hands, holding up the class uniform he had been protecting all along.
"Perhaps what you did was the most beneficial thing for the Human Race."
"But all I know is that you sent my brother to his death, then brought me his clothes in a show of concern."
"Of course, perhaps you mean it, but to me, you still..."
"Seem utterly shameless."
Zhao Zicheng took the clothes and stared at Yu Mo impassively.
Yu Mo offered no response. He merely nodded gently and wheeled his wheelchair away, gradually receding into the distance.
Without anyone noticing, his back seemed to have bent a little further.
From this moment onward, he was also heading in the opposite direction from everyone...
From these, his only friends.
Perhaps, from the very beginning, there had been no way to distinguish who was right and who was wrong. Everyone had their own convictions, and everyone had their own beliefs.
The moment those ways of thinking collided...
A situation like this would naturally arise.
"..."
"We were teacher and student. Today..."
"I'll see you off!"
Xu Yuanqing, who had remained silent throughout, suddenly spoke softly, and a Sea of Fire blanketed the sky!
The Phoenix let out a mournful cry.
Xu Yuanqing soared into the sky, a pair of fiery wings appearing behind him.
"Dust to dust, earth to earth!"
"Fallen leaves return to their roots."
"The dead return home."
"Let us bring Sun Wen... back to the academy!"
As Xu Yuanqing spoke, the sea of fire in the air suddenly split, revealing a path.
At either end of the path, birds formed from flames flew ceaselessly, crying out again and again.
