Noncho village; it was the same as before. A collective of houses with no occupants other than that one person who was forced to spend her life there.
Liling had it bad. The entire life, people forced her to do one thing or the other. And now, even I forced her to stay there for my own personal reasons. Hell, there wasn't even any reason to do so other than personal satisfaction. And I forced this person just like everyone else did. That's why I was kinda relieved when I saw no one in the village.
"Hmm, seems like she already left. Understandable. Like, waiting for a random stranger is not the thing that people want to do once they gain freedom. So, yea." I sighed.
I wanted to see her one more time, just for old time's sake. However, this is good as well. If she left this place, she wouldn't have to face whatever that made her learn the healing skill back then. But she wouldn't meet Zhangsun Shan as well. Hmm, maybe it's for the better.
