CHAPTER 1 FIGHTING AGAINST FATE (1/2)

Chapter 1 Fighting Against Fate

After saying that, Xu Yingchen angrily, leaving behind a room soaked in blood.

The room was deadly silent. If it wasn’t for the unconscious Zhu Xuan and the lingering smell of blood in the air, nobody would imagine that a madman had gone on a murderous rampage.

I slowly got up from the ground and leaned against Liang Kaifeng’s body, gasping heavily. It took me a while to calm down. Then, I slowly propped up my body and approached Zhu Xuan to check his injuries.

I should at least be relieved that Xu Yingchen did not lie about that. Although Zhu Xuan lost a lot of blood, his breathing was still smooth and his pulse was strong. I tore a piece of fabric from my clothes and bandaged his wound.

My broken arm still hurt like hell and Zhu Xuan was still in a coma. There was no one around that could help me. I had to rely on myself if I wanted to stay alive.

I sat back down on the cold ground and took a deep breath. Then, I pressed on the injury with my left hand and clenched my jaw. With a push, I set my shoulder back into place.

The pain from that almost knocked me out for an instant. I sat there for a while before it gradually eased and then I tried to move my arm. Although the joint hurt, I could move my fingers. I thought it was quite lucky for me to be able to force my dislocated shoulder back in place.

“I’ll come back for you soon,” I turned around and whispered to Zhu Xuan, and then I held my injured arm as I slowly stood up and limped toward the door.

I promise that I will come back. But for now, I have more important things to do.

I did not return to the old residence since I already understood what happened there.

Xu Yingchen said that six years had passed since Wen Jiubo saw me for the last time, but I knew in my heart that the last time I called him was yesterday. Xu Yingchen killed Wen Jiubo and took away the Jade Ruyi. All those were linked to that dream.

The wheel of fate had started moving. Here, now, what I was experiencing was the future that I never wanted to believe happened.

Even so, I still did not believe that Wen Jiubo would die like that. In that dream, Wen Jiubo said that he would come back.

Maybe I had gone crazy, but I did not believe that Wen Jiubo would die so easily. That old fox would never let himself die for nothing. And at this moment, I happened to know where he was most likely to be.

I did not know how I went back to school with this broken body, but this was probably the longest distance I had ever walked.

It was late at night, the city was still deeply asleep and everything was immersed in the silent darkness. I did not know whether I should be glad or complain that I did not see anybody or any car on the street. But when I stood at the gate of Yan University, I understood why.

The university where I had attended classes yesterday had become ruins. As I had seen in that dream, this place had been abandoned. Of course, no one would come here.

I must hurry; my time was nearly up.

I arrived at the small alley at the end of Jinhua Road. If I was right, at this moment, the me in the past should be on my way to Yan University. Soon, I would find out that something had happened, and I would rush to the old residence where I would find the injured Bai.

“You——aren’t you the young master? Long time no see.” Mr. Cat’s voice came from above me. He seemed very surprised. “What’s the matter?”

I was very amused to hear Mr. Cat call me young master again. However, as I started to smirk, my wound began to hurt again.

“You’re badly injured.” Mr. Cat lowered his body. He put my arm around his shoulder and lifted me up and asked in surprise, “What happened?”

“That’s… a long story.” I gave him a bitter smile. “Can we go inside and talk?”

Mr. Cat nodded hurriedly. He carried me into his small restaurant and found some bandages to wrap up my wound.

“Sorry, I rarely have human guests. So, that’s the best I can offer you,” Mr. Cat murmured. “Fortunately, I like to collect human daily commodities, otherwise, I would have no idea how to treat you. Speaking of which, who did this to you? That person was really brutal… what happened outside? Or did you just fight with other people, young master?”

I choked back tears after hearing Mr. Cat’s warm words. I had this mixed feeling in my heart, but at last, all I could say was only one sentence.
