"Mountain rains are nigh..."
On the day of the Civil Service Examination, the skies were overcast, and a fine misty rain fell.
Aaron coughed once more, pushed open the courtyard door, and saw a figure kneeling in the center of the courtyard.
Beneath the blurred rain threads, the other's slender curves were revealed.
It was none other than the Taoyin Taoist!
"Teacher..."
The Taoyin Taoist raised his head, his eyebrows beading with droplets of water, which only added to his mournful beauty.
Boom!
In the sky, beneath the fish scale clouds, lightning serpents tumbled.
"Taoyin ah... I've known since you were young that you are kindhearted, merciful, and too tender-hearted to accomplish great things, unlike your two senior brothers."
Aaron sighed.
Crack!
Just at that moment, a bolt of lightning struck, rendering the world a ghastly white.
Clang!
And behind Aaron, Playing with Plum Daoren collapsed to the ground as if his bones had been sucked out of him.
