Judging Xiaofan's character from Leng Yue's perspective, following him, no matter what they face in the future, she is willing to do so.
In a lifeti, there must be so pursuits.
Looking back, what has Leng Yue pursued in her life? For over twenty years, her existence was solely to protect her master, becoming her master's shadow.
Even in the end, if her master wanted her to accompany her brother, she must do it without the slightest resistance. But upon asking herself, is this really her own pursuit?
Leng Yue decided to let go completely, this ti, she would venture with all she had according to her own principles, even if it ant facing death, it was better than spending most of her future in confusion and bewildernt.
For love, for one mont, it would not be a wasted life.
But Bai Xue was different. Since she was sensible, she saw her mother being discriminated against and bullied by family mbers, even her father couldn't bring warmth to the mother and daughter.
So, from a young age, Bai Xue believed that only greater power could control happiness, only power could allow one to enjoy happiness.
Even after eting Xiaofan, her views remained that if Xiaofan could help her, then happiness would not be far away.
Honestly, Bai Xue was enamored with Xiaofan; otherwise, she wouldn't have wanted to give herself to him just before their wedding. However, she never considered what Xiaofan truly wanted.
Ignoring the other person's feelings and insisting on one's way, is this the expression of loving soone?
Bai Xue never pondered such questions, so she would never understand. Moreover, she was different from Leng Yue; she had her own pursuits. Always had.
"I won't leave with him. And he won't leave either," Bai Xue insisted.
"I can't stand seeing him endure such pressure any longer. I have to give him this antidote."
"So you have decided to betray , right?" Bai Xue's tone suddenly turned somber.
"Say what you like. Since I've done this, there's no reason to argue for myself." In fact, Leng Yue didn't intend to resolve things with Bai Xue so harshly, she hoped their relationship could ease a bit, that both could calm down and think things over.
Yet it was always only the captain who was calm, Bai Xue continued her reckless ways. She dared even to give the captain poison like White Scorpion, she truly was mad.
"You can't take the antidote away."
"I must."
"Are you forcing to fight you?"
"All of this could have been avoided."
Gently putting the antidote into her pocket, Leng Yue knew that these feelings forged over a decade of shared life and death had now shattered.
In the past, Leng Yue never imagined this day would co, yet when facing the impending outco, she felt no hesitation.
"For a man, are you disregarding our bond of over ten years?" Leng Yue had always been her most trusted person, but when even the most trusted person betrayed her, who could she trust in the future?
"When you planned to give to your brother, did you ever consider our decade-long relationship?" Apparently, this incident had long left a crack in Leng Yue's heart.
However, Leng Yue had been enduring, she had thought of countless reasons to excuse Bai Xue, but now it seed all were futile.
"You were ant to be my shadow, for our family, you should have long been prepared to sacrifice everything," Bai Xue stubbornly said.
"I thought our emotions surpassed the master-servant pact. Unfortunately, I had always been mistaken. My life was given by the Celestial Emperor Race, they can take it back, I won't even frown, but it must be after I hand the antidote to the captain..."
"I said, you can't take the antidote away..."
"..." Leng Yue didn't speak, her gaze shifted to the balcony.
'Whoosh.'
At the instant Leng Yue's gaze shifted, Bai Xue imdiately guessed Leng Yue intended to flee, she rushed toward Leng Yue to block her.
However, Leng Yue had no desire to fight, they both understood each other deeply, whether it was in heart or skill.
With a swift turn, Leng Yue avoided Bai Xue's sudden assault, stepped out on the balcony, and leaped directly from the third floor.
Bai Xue followed close behind, the two jumping one after the other from the third floor.
In a few strides, Bai Xue caught up with Leng Yue and attacked imdiately. Bai Xue's strikes were vicious and showed no sign of holding back, while Leng Yue was evading everywhere, focusing solely on dodging, not seeming to counterattack.
In her life, Leng Yue had two greatest bonds: on one side was Xiaofan, and on the other the Celestial Emperor Race that gave her a second life. This betrayal added to the guilt in Leng Yue's heart. How could she raise a hand to attack Bai Xue?
But if she didn't shake off Bai Xue, how could she deliver the antidote to Xiaofan?
"Bai Xue, stop. I don't want to hurt you."
"You can't hurt . Once the security finds this spot, they'll catch you imdiately."
Bai Xue's words reminded Leng Yue that she couldn't delay any longer. She had to leave as soon as possible.
Bai Xue and Leng Yue's fighting techniques were mostly learned in the Red Butterfly's training camp, but because Leng Yue was more introverted and practiced much harder, in terms of capability, she was slightly superior to Bai Xue.
A gust of wind brushed past her cheek, Leng Yue suddenly grabbed Bai Xue's wrist, gently pulling, and struck Bai Xue on the chest before she could react.
With a muffled groan, Bai Xue staggered back, collapsing heavily onto the lawn, a mouthful of blood spilling out.
Leng Yue was very asured in her actions, she did not intend to truly hurt Bai Xue, seeing her cough blood, Leng Yue was startled, quickly retracting her stance and hurriedly approaching in concern.
"Bai Xue, are you okay?"
Suddenly, Bai Xue, lying on the ground, flashed a sly look in her eyes, and without any warning, struck out toward Leng Yue.
'Bang.'
With a muffled groan, Leng Yue was thrown backward. Due to a large sway in mid-air, causing the small bottle in her pocket to fall out.
'Crash' sound followed, the bottle smashed onto the ground, breaking instantly.
Leng Yue looked in panic at the shattered bottle, her gaze fixed intently on the antidote's trajectory.
After the bottle broke, the entirely white antidote bounced forward, rolling, and just ahead was a swimming pool.
"No..."
