After arriving at the Cloud Sea Port, Qin Yi stood outside.
After a while, he took a deep breath and slowly walked towards the inner part of the Cloud Sea Port.
Because of the Silversnow Empire's invasion, the entire Cloud Sea Empire had been greatly affected. There were not many people coming and going in the Cloud Sea Port now. Apart from a few local forces, the only ones here were the Yin-Yang Academy disciples who had come out of the mining area not long ago.
Qin Yi's speed increased and his footsteps became more and more determined. Through the probing of his divine sense, he already knew where Duanmu Cheng and the others were staying. After a while, he finally arrived at his destination.
This was an extremely secluded residence, and it did not seem to be eye-catching at all. It was obvious that Lu Yu had put in a lot of effort to choose this place.
He gently knocked on the door. Very quickly, an extremely vigilant voice came from inside the house, "Who is it?"
Qin Yi calmly replied, "It's me."
After hearing Qin Yi's voice, a series of hurried footsteps came from inside the house. Then, the door was opened.
The one who opened the door was Ning Qiancheng. When he saw Qin Yi, he anxiously asked, "What's the situation?"
Qin Yi nodded and said, "It's been resolved. I don't think they will come again. "
Hearing this, Ning Qiancheng finally heaved a sigh of relief and said, "That's good!"
There was not much joy on Qin Yi's face. He only softly grunted and then asked, "Where's Master Duanmu?"
Hearing this, Ning Qiancheng's face darkened. He glanced inside and then turned his body to let Qin Yi in.
…
In the innermost room of the house, an old man was kneeling on the ground. Although his back was facing Qin Yi and the others, one could still see that he was haggard.
His hair was disheveled. His white hair was like a pile of weeds covering the top of his head.
Compared to before, the current him seemed to have aged quite a bit.
He sat there motionless, and even his breathing seemed to have stopped. He was like a statue.
On the bed in front of him, there was a cold corpse. This person was Duanmu City's disciple, Guo Zhong!
"Brother Qin, you are his disciple. He should listen to you. Go in and persuade him!"
Lu Yu walked in from outside. He sighed and said helplessly, "Ever since they brought back Senior Brother Guo Zhong's body, he has been like this. He hasn't moved at all."
Qin Yi nodded slightly, then stepped forward and walked in.
After approaching Duanmu City, Qin Yi was even more shocked by his expression at this moment.
Apart from staring blankly at the corpse in front of him, there was not the slightest expression on his face, not even a trace of sorrow.
But sometimes, this kind of expressionless face was the scariest.
At this moment, Duanmu Cheng gave Qin Yi the feeling that he was a walking corpse. His soul had already left his body and vanished into thin air. From him, Qin Yi could not feel the slightest will to live. It was as if he would die immediately with a gentle push of a finger.
Looking at Duanmu Cheng in front of him, and thinking about the weird old man who always had a shameless smile on his face and rubbed his palms at Qin Yi regardless of how Qin Yi tried to beat him up. Suddenly, Qin Yi felt as if his heart was stabbed by a sword. The pain was unbearable!
"Master, I'm sorry!"
Suddenly, Qin Yi knelt on the ground and said, "I didn't get there in time to save Senior Brother!"
"Qin Yi …"
At this moment, Duanmu Cheng finally spoke. But at this moment, his voice was hoarse and lifeless, as if he had swallowed charcoal, "You always like to do this. You like to take all the responsibility on yourself. Although I, Duanmu Cheng, am not a big shot, I am someone who has been immersed in the Pill Dao for many years. I can still see the injuries on Guo Zhong's body. He has dragged it for too long! There's nothing I can do to save him! "
Qin Yi said, "Master, I don't want to see you in such a sorrowful state. I think Senior Brother Guo Zhong feels the same. "
Duanmu Cheng spoke extremely slowly, "Guo Zhong has been with me since young. In my eyes, he is not only a disciple, but more like my son. He is the person I have poured my life's hope into! Now that he is destroyed, I feel that half of my life is gone with him. "
Qin Yi was speechless. He knew that at this moment, there was no one who could persuade Duanmu Cheng anymore.
To be honest, at this time, words like restrain one's grief and live on well were basically equivalent to farts.
When consolation was useless, the only thing one could do was to accompany.
At this moment, Qin Yi did not say anything else. He found a place beside Duanmu Cheng and sat down, guarding in front of Guo Zhong together with Duanmu Cheng.
This kneeling lasted for god knows how long. Even Qin Yi felt waves of pain coming from his knees.
At this moment, Duanmu Cheng suddenly spoke, "Qin Yi, good disciple. Thank you for staying with me. I'm much better now. "
Hearing these words from Duanmu Cheng, Qin Yi finally felt relieved.
"Actually, I know that you want me to understand that I am not alone."
Duanmu Cheng's voice was incomparably calm at this moment. "However, you are wrong. I have never taken things too hard. I also know that compared to being depressed, Guo Zhong would rather see me pull myself together! This, I have never changed. However, I just cannot accept this reality. I have been guarding here, praying for a miracle, hoping that Guo Zhong can stand up again. However, after waiting for this period of time, I can accept it. "
After a pause, Duanmu Cheng continued, "Sadness is unavoidable. I believe you should be able to understand this, right? No matter who it is, this emotion cannot be alleviated. I can only let myself slowly digest and accept it in my heart. "
Qin Yi nodded and did not speak.
"It's all thanks to you."
Duanmu Cheng stood up and patted Qin Yi's shoulder. "Without you, I don't know how long it would take for me to recover. Qin Yi, although Guo Zhong has passed away, you have made me understand that I still have someone I need to worry about. I hope to see you again, and walk towards a brighter future! "
…
Walking out of the door and strolling along the cold street of Cloudy Harbor, Qin Yi's heart was intertwined with a myriad of emotions!
Duanmu Cheng had said a lot to him and made it clear that he must see him succeed. It was as if his fighting spirit had been ignited!
