Back at Extreme Martial Arts Academy.
Jiang Ning was still kneeling before the coffin.
Three days had passed.
Lin Yuzhen stayed by his side because she knew that Jiang Ning needed someone by his side right now and that was something she ought to do for him.
"Regardless of what you've done, you will always hear nasty comments." Jiang Ning looked at the altar in front of the coffin. "Why didn't you tell me earlier?"
"I know you were worried about me clashing with these reclusive clans. But didn't you think that I would make them pay the price for pushing you to your death?"
He clenched his fists.
He had already sorted himself out.
No matter whether this man was He Daoren or His Lordship, he was his teacher all the same. He was the same man who brought him up for more than ten years, molded his character and taught him martial arts.
Even until the day he died, he was still protective of Jiang Ning and had taken on all the suffering and angst by himself.
But didn't he regret it?
He hadn't been able to rescue the woman he loved even till the day he died.
"He Daoren doesn't want you to follow in his footsteps, I suppose." Lin Yuzhen pursed her lips and took a deep breath. "He's gone through the pain of being separated from the one he loves, so he doesn't want you to go through that.”
He had been separated from the one he loved most for twenty years!
She couldn't imagine and didn't want to imagine that sort of pain. How could she empathize if she hadn't gone through it herself?
If she had to be separated from Jiang Ning or be unable to ever see him again, Lin Yuzhen felt that it would be the darkest days of her life.
She...she wouldn't be able to go on living!
Jiang Ning took a deep breath, turned to look at Lin Yuzhen, then pulled her into his arms.
