Jing Lucheng had an empty expression on his face.
Even though he and Jing Yuqin were holding each other's gazes, his eyes looked dull and unreadable.
He had obviously been traumatized. If he couldn't climb out of the shadows, his rank might remain at the Seventh Heaven for the rest of his life.
Jing Yuqin's narrowed eyes rounded with confusion when she heard Jing Lucheng's words.
Didn't kill him?
Couldn't kill him?
What did he mean exactly? Was it that Jing Lucheng had tried to kill Jing Yan, but he was stopped by an Elder?
Even if that was the case, why would Jing Lucheng look so miserable? Was he worried that she would blame him for failing to get it done correctly?
"Lucheng, don't worry. We will have a lot more chances in the future. We won't let Jing Yan get away with what he's done." Jing Yuqin tried to comfort Jing Lucheng. She felt bad for him as she examined the beaten-up look on his face.
