I’m thrilled.

"Justice that arrives this late is no longer justice. It is merely a show put on by the living to seek solace for themselves. A case can be overturned, but those who have died will never know that you Lord Zhan, have sought justice for them"

Damn. The way it's so sad, so realistic. You see it every time you check the news, every time you think about the state of the world and all the suffering we're subjected as people without power. And you think it's all pointless, nothing good you do matters, the rich will always have their way and ruin everything you hold dear, and that it's better to just give up, because justice doesn't exist.

but still. BUT STILL.

Not me watching the next Generation to Generation episode at 6:30 in the morning so I have time to watch one before church. Heehee!

Oh she's seeing all kinds of parallels to Mu Qingyan in this backstory.

What is this sweet scene?! She's gotta be leaving she's being so nice to him.

Aaaaah! Love Between Fairy and the Devil parallel!!!!

Yep, she's leaving. But that was such a beautiful goodbye and I knew it was coming. At least they parted on good terms this time.

Nooo, don't give up your beautiful sunshine blade.

Yep, it's whipping time. You horrible people. This dude is way to excited to start torturing her. *glares*

Is it horrible of me that I kinda wanted Mu Qingyan to be there to witness it? What? I love me some angst.

Stop smiling you jerks. Horrible human beings.

Oh don't show me this scene of her master taking care of her as a child trying to get me to feel bad for him. I don't.

Aaah, him holding the light she gave him and thinking of her while its happening and her looking up at the moon and thinking of him. Made me flashback to the scene with their hands intertwining in front of the moon.

Don't love that it's only Yuzhi that gets to tend to her, bet his dad set that up, lol.

He wasn't a bad person. She hadn't loved wrongly.

But this was as far as they could go.

Another wave of searing pain tore through her back. Her vision blurred—she could neither see nor hear now.

Before losing consciousness, one hazy thought remained: she hoped he'd leave a small lamp lit in his room at night.

He shouldn't force himself to sleep afraid like that... it only brings nightmares.

"Leader, we must leave now," You Guanyue whispered urgently, supporting the tall man beside him in disguise. "If they discover us, it'll mean more danger."

The man's slender frame was hidden beneath a wide cloak, his movements slightly unsteady.

Among the crowd observing the punishment, many martial artists wore similar disguises, so their presence went unnoticed—especially with their scattered allies blending in.

Through the lowered hood, Mu Qingyan's gaze remained fixed on the girl being taken down from the scaffold.

She had already lost consciousness.

Song Yuzhi charged forward, his face dark with fury, and scooped her up, roaring at Qi Lingbo who stood nearby laughing...

"Leader, we truly must go!" You Guanyue anxiously scanned their surroundings. "Leader, I know you're worried about Zhao Zhao, but this isn't the time! The matters in Hanhai Mountains still need your guidance!
