Wan Yitong’s expressions changed continuously, his eyes softened gradually from sharp, finally ending in self-mockery.

Wan Yitong looked down at his hand, “Bei Shitian, since you came to the Five Continents, you have always avoided me. You even acted as if we were strangers. When I wanted to treat you well, you would not accept it. When I was bad to you, you would not say much. This is the first time in many years that you have taken the initiative to talk about your emotions.”

Bei Shitian became rigid. He really did not want to face Wan Yitong, It was because when he saw Wan Yitong he thought of the massacre of his family, how his relatives and disciples died one by one before him as well as the repulsive faces of the Wan family……

Therefore he would always avoid Wan Yitong. For many years he was no longer the youth that placed Wan Yitong as the most important in his heart.

When Bei Shitian did not open his mouth, Wan Yitong raised his head and smiled at him. “If I didn’t still have a lingering love for you, how could I have broken apart my life and followed you to the trivial small world of the Five Continents, willingly leaving behind my position as the Wan family heir to stay in a place where the spiritual Qi is so thin, living so absurdly?”

Bei Shitian coldly looked at him. “So what do you want me to do? Do you still want it to be like before, where I listened to your words without question and treated you like my beloved? I told you when my family burned to ash that is impossible for me and you in this lifetime. The evil done by the Wan family, because of my past affection and us being in the same sect now, I won’t hold you accountable, but that is all.”

Wan Yitong felt a pain in his heart, forcing out a smile. “The decisions of the family were not what I wanted. However a father’s debt is for the son to repay, in all, I am in your debt. I already knew you and I are completely over, however I just wanted to watch you from far away and make it up to you, is that also not possible?”

Bei Shitian coldly replied, “Then could you please be farther away from me, far enough that I would not know.”

Wan Yitong’s body trembled slightly, tightly clenching his fists, his down turned peach blossom eyes were faintly turning red.

No matter what he does, he is in the wrong.

“Senior Martial Brother Bei.” When Lin Xuanzhi saw the unexpected guest who would not easily appear in front of him, he was slightly surprised. “Come in first.”

Bei Shitian stood at the door frame, his left hand clenched Killing God hanging at his side, his eyes followed Lin Xuanzhi. “I won’t enter, I just want to say one thing.”

“Senior Martial Brother, please speak.” said Lin Xuanzhi.

“When you go to Myriad Beasts Demonic Forest, don’t bring along Wan Yitong.”

Lin Xuanzhi’s eyes narrowed slightly, “Senior Martial Brother Bei came late, Younger Senior Martial Brother came by earlier to talk about this matter and I also already promised him.”

“I know.” Bei Shitian faintly replied. “I just met with Wan Yitong just now, as for him, I came to tell you that you just don’t need to deliberately notify Wan Yitong when we leave.”

“Naturally if Senior Martial Brother has told Younger Senior Martial Brother then it doesn’t matter to me.” Lin Xuanzhi lightly said, “It is just Younger Senior Martial Brother might not agree.”

Normally Wan Yitong’s temper was quite short; the more he was not allowed to do something, the more he would oppose it. He was also a person with his own thoughts and would not change his mind easily.

Plus considering Wan Yitong’s attitude of love and hate and avoidance for Bei Shitian, Wan Yitong would not listen to Bei Shitian’s words.

Bei Shitian nodded his head “I won’t let him go.”

Lin Xuanzhi looked at him, “Can I ask why?”

Bei Shitian was silent for a moment. “Myriad Beasts Demonic Forest is very dangerous, it is very likely that we will never leave once we enter.”

Even if he and Wan Yitong will never happen, he does not want Wan Yitong to be in danger.

In the past, most of the places he picked were dangerous, although Wan Yitong would secretly follow along, but before entering the dangerous places Bei Shitian would walk around in circles to lose Wan Yitong and make him unable to track him.

Most times Wan Yitong would wait outside for him to finish training, he would take the initiative to come but would not show himself.

It was not until one time, when Bei Shitian returned to a small town, his whole body completely covered with blood and his steps were unsteady, Wan Yitong, who was hidden in an unknown place, rushed to him nervously and dragged him to a private house to treat his wounds.

Since then Wan Yitong changed to openly following in the name of their master, watching as he killed people and hunted demons, watching as with every step he stained Lianlian with fresh blood, both of his hands filled with human lives.

Bei Shitian also noticed that as Wan Yitong saw his dark and gloomy side, Wan Yitong’s attitude towards him became increasingly uncertain. From openly being concerned at first to gradually developing a tone of mockery whenever he saw him. Allowing fellow Junior Martial Brothers of the Peak to isolate him and exclude him, hoping to use this atmosphere to pressure him to exercise restraint.

Bei Shitian thought it was laughable. Since childhood, Wan Yitong was a young master whose way of thinking was bold and imaginative, he did not understand the feelings of people, so he was ignorant of why the Wan family would suddenly attack the Bei family, and also did not know that Bei Shitian already sold himself to the devil, in this life it was impossible to walk by his side.

Wan Yitong was not aware of the careful thoughts that he could not hide. Tricking outsiders was one thing, but when it comes to the fellow Martial Brothers of the same peak, how many would not have understood his thought process.

Bei Shitian was not isolated, both Zhan Fengting and Esteemed Lan Yue talked to him and sought him out to have conversations. Using those conversations as a way to find a breakthrough and the demons in his heart, and resolve them.

However, Esteemed Lan Yue found Bei Shitian’s obsession was too deep for him to resolve easily.

His heart demons were born from the raging fire of revenge and because the demons were too heavy, they were more eager for revenge. This was a cycle of death. The answer was there was no solution.
