It was like the chilly wind of the Arctic that slapped Mao Jixue's heart after it fell into the frozen lake. Xu Rouguang's voice and all the hostility it carried even made her tear up. She was lucky that they were only talking using a messaging token, or else she would have to mask her broken look. She moved to wipe the tears off of the corner of her eyes and tried to speak, but no words came out.
When she saw that Xu Rouguang vanished in that array, she convinced herself that everything was already over. She needed to go back to her normal life despite keeping tabs on Crimson City and the standoff with the Abyss. Then, she was shocked by the news that Xu Rouguang suddenly reappeared in Crimson City for some reason. Her heart wanted to rejoice, but she knew that she could never face this man again. He didn't give her any regard back then; what would change now?
