In a blink of an eye, three days passed.
Shi Xiaobai was still sleeping. He did not wake up once during that period of time.
Similarly, Speechless did not miraculously open his eyes again. Three days had passed, but his face had only turned paler. His body had turned colder and stiffer. Even the last bit of ridiculous delusion of the crowd had been shattered by reality.
Speechless was really dead. He managed to survive a sword that pierced through his left chest, but he was killed by a palm strike that did not even leave any external wounds.
He did not die gloriously on the battlefield, but was smacked to death by a partner who had lost control after the battle. This comical but ridiculous and tragic matter had really happened.
At that moment, in the Infernal domain's Infernal King palace, in a pavilion that had just been designated as a forbidden ground, Speechless's corpse was lying quietly in a coffin.
The human skin mask that he used to conceal his identity had been taken off, revealing his extremely handsome face. He was not much different from the Hero King who was disguised as a man.
Speechless had always been one of the most outstanding youths in China. Be it his family background, talent, abilities, or looks, he was one of the best. He became famous at a young age and had done many things that left people speechless but impressed. There were countless girls in China who admired him or even had unrequited love for him. After they left the tower, it was unknown how many hearts would be broken by the news of Speechless's death.
And at that moment, the two girls in the pavilion had cried countless times over the past three days.
Mu Yuesheng and Mu Lengxi were sitting silently in a corner of the pavilion. Their eyes were slightly red and swollen, and they looked somewhat dazed.
They came from the same family clan, and in terms of seniority, they were considered cousins. However, as Mu Lengxi had been brought up by her magic teacher from a young age, and by the time she returned to the Mu family, Mu Yuesheng had already been sent to a side family due to her lack of talent and aptitude. Therefore, only the slightly older Mu Yuesheng knew of Mu Lengxi's existence. This was because she was Speechless's biological sister. As for Mu Lengxi, she did not even know that her family had a cousin who had been forced to leave at a young age.
However, they had similarly experienced the pain of losing a family member. They had also cried for a long period of time, and they already knew each other's identities. Naturally, they felt a sense of empathy for each other. However, none of them attempted to console the other because they did not have the strength to do so.
They just stayed together in this gloomy attic, silent for three days, sad for three days, and calm for three days.
No matter how sorrowful she was, she still had to force herself to accept the fact that her loved ones had passed away.
"Clang!"
At this moment, the door to the loft was gently pushed open and Liu Yu quietly walked in.
The two of them raised their heads to take a look, then lowered their heads again.
Liu Yu let out a silent sigh and slowly closed the door. He slowly walked to the seat on the other side and sat down lightly. After hesitating for a long time, he took a deep breath and used Telepathy to connect the minds of the three people in the attic.
"Can I … disturb you for a while?" Liu Yu said in his consciousness.
Mu Yuesheng and Mu Lengxi slowly turned their heads over. After a moment of hesitation, they nodded their heads gently. Over the past three days, Liu Yu had apologized to them numerous times. He blamed himself for failing to prevent the tragedy from happening despite being the closest to them. For this, they naturally did not blame him. No one would have thought of preventing such an accident. However, they did not have the mental capacity to console him. Hence, when they saw Liu Yu enter, they thought that he was going to apologize again. They subconsciously avoided his gaze.
However, from his current expression, it did not seem like he was here to apologize again?
"There is a matter that This Penniless Priest wishes to discuss with the two of you."
Liu Yu sighed and said, "Benefactor Shi Xiaobai has yet to wake up, but he will wake up sooner or later, so …"
Upon hearing the name 'Shi Xiaobai', Mu Lengxi and Mu Yuesheng's expressions changed subtly. To them, hearing this name gave them mixed feelings. They even subconsciously wanted to escape.
"So?" However, Mu Yuesheng knew that there was no way to escape reality.
"So This Penniless Priest wishes to discuss with the two of you what will happen after Benefactor Shi Xiaobai wakes up. Back then, This Penniless Priest saw that Benefactor Shi Xiaobai's hair had clearly turned silver. Clearly, he was not conscious, or he would not have done such a thing. This Penniless Priest believes that it is very likely that he will not remember what happened after he wakes up … "When Liu Yu said that, he suddenly fell into silence.
"Oh?" Mu Yuesheng frowned slightly.
Liu Yu sighed once again. After a long period of hesitation, he said, "If Benefactor Shi Xiaobai wakes up and learns that he had killed Benefactor Speechless while losing control, he will definitely feel extremely pained. However, we all understand that the deceased is already dead. No amount of self-reproach will help. It will only increase his sorrow, so This Penniless Priest wishes to hide this matter from Benefactor Shi Xiaobai. More importantly, with the Li family's older generation's protectiveness, if they learn that Speechless has been harmed, they will definitely seek revenge on Benefactor Speechless' murderer by any means necessary. They will not care if Benefactor Shi Xiaobai is innocent or not. The Li family is extremely powerful. Ignoring Gaia, even the Hero Association will find it difficult to guarantee Benefactor Shi Xiaobai's safety. Furthermore, they can protect him for a moment, but not forever. The Li family will not let the matter rest, so … This Penniless Priest wishes that not only will this matter be hidden from Benefactor Shi Xiaobai, it will also be hidden from the world. Sorry, This Penniless Priest knows that doing so is very selfish, but … "
Mu Yuesheng raised her hand to interrupt him, "I understand. Hiding the truth is good for everyone. My thoughts are the same as yours. Even if you did not mention it, I would have mentioned it sooner or later. So there is no need for you to feel that you have let everyone down. We all know very well that the 'Shi Xiaobai' in that state could even injure Sunless out of control. If he still retained a shred of consciousness, he would definitely not have done so. Therefore, the murderer of Brother Speechless is not Shi Xiaobai, but a monster that we do not know of. That is the truth. "
After three days of calming down, Mu Yuesheng, who had broken down in tears in the Silent Desolate Lands, had returned to the strong Mu Yuesheng.
"Thank you …"
Liu Yu rubbed his glabella. He looked somewhat exhausted. Clearly, he had not had a good night's sleep over the past three days.
"Me too …"
At that moment, Mu Lengxi's voice resounded in Liu Yu and Mu Yuesheng's minds. "I also … wish to hide the truth … because … if it were Brother, he would definitely do the same …"
This girl, who was the youngest in the group, had suffered the greatest blow. The person she liked had killed her brother. With her age and experience, it was no doubt an extremely heavy tragedy. Up to that moment, she was still holding onto the pitiful fantasy of 'how good would it be if everything was just a nightmare'. But even so, she still mustered her courage to be strong at the moment when she needed to face it with a strong will.
Speechless had two good sisters.
Shi Xiaobai had two good friends.
Therefore, the tragedy that had already happened would not result in another tragedy.
This was probably considered a blessing in a misfortune, right?
"Thank you."
"Sorry."
Liu Yu did not know how he felt when he said those two words, but when he walked out of the building once again, he felt that the sunlight that shone on him was a little cold.
