"What's wrong?" a chill ran slightly through my chest.
Beichen spoke with a somber tone, "Yun Hao's condition is very bad."
"First, take me to see him." My heart was suddenly in turmoil.
Beichen was steady and realistic, never one to speak in exaggerations.
If he said it was very bad, it must indeed be terrible.
Beichen said, "That's the only way then."
I went out of the dormitory room with Beichen.
Xiao Li was no longer outside the door.
It was only upon reaching the attic that I saw Xiao Li, constantly lighting candles.
The candles in Xiao Li's hands were quite different; each one was engraved with a Life-Extending Talisman, and a section of one's birth time and date in traditional characters.
Once she used up the engraved candles, she sat down on the spot to carve new ones.
When exhausted, she rubbed her eyes and continued her busy work.
"Where's Yun Hao?" I searched the room but couldn't find Yun Hao.
