Xi Qingyi listened to that voice, a strange confidence blooming within him, a sense that something momentous was about to occur.
He took a deep breath, cast one final look at the ancestral tomb being devoured by raging flames, then closed his eyes in feigned sorrow, his chest heaving. Then, he bellowed out, "I told him to burn it!!"
His voice, so full of conviction, echoed throughout the entirety of Sword Peak.
Even Jun Wuxie, who was diligently stoking the fire, couldn't help but shudder at these words, tears quickly welling in his eyes.
An indescribable emotion spread through him.
Senior Brother is truly Senior Brother! Even when burning our ancestral tomb, he didn't forget to shield me! Afraid I'd take responsibility? So he shouldered it all himself! In that case, I absolutely cannot let Senior Brother Xi Qingyi down.
Jun Wuxie raised his head, his gaze meeting Xi Qingyi's, which was also fixed on him. In that instant, an inexplicable sentiment surged between them.
