#Chapter168
Aryan looks left and right; the blood is soaking his feet as he holds Xialing pinned down to the door. He tries to comprehend what just happened and all he can think is, how is he gonna tell Ren?
/"You need to go!/" Xialing’s voice is like it’s coming from the deep, he isn’t here but somewhere else.
‘This isn’t happening’ is all that plays in his mind again and again. He looks back, seeing Ren’s eyes. He is afraid to tell him what happened, he is afraid that this will break him.
/"How?/" he finally says something.
/"We need to go now! I’ll tell you later, please grab the prince and follow me!/" Xialing tries to bring some sense in him. Aryan moves away from the door, towards Ren.
/"What--what is it?/" Ren asks, with a trembling voice.
/"We need to go,/" Aryan says.
/"Whose--blood is that?/" Ren asks.
/"Let’s go/" Aryan avoids the questions.
