With that leap, Chen Xuan felt as if the world had turned upside down. He no longer had a place to stand in this Imperial Palace.
'Why go to such lengths?'
'The Wind Snow Sword Immortal... he isn't worthy of anyone's love.'
'Because he has no love in him.'
Su Chen sighed.
He strode forward, arms outstretched, and caught Lady Shui securely as she plummeted.
SOB! SOB!
Lady Shui wept bitterly in Su Chen's arms.
The wind moaned.
Snowflakes drifted aimlessly, filling the sky.
Lady Shui took up residence in the Library Pavilion.
"As long as she's alive, that's all that matters."
Chen Xuan's smile was more pained than a grimace.
「After that.」
Su Chen often came to the Library Pavilion to treat Lady Shui.
"Make sure to take your medicine."
Su Chen was brewing her medicine.
「In a daze.」
He felt as if he had returned to the abandoned house in the bamboo forest, to the time he first met the young maiden, Cyan Sparrow.
