"She personally sent the person who loved her most to the execution platform,
It wasn't until he was nailed to the stake that he saw the truth clearly. "
Yu Li was bewitched by a demon in his previous life and hated his frosty master Tong Yi.
She listened to the slander, betrayed her school, and even pushed Tong Yi to the execution platform with her own hands, watching helplessly as she was flogged and her clothes were stained with blood.
Until that moment.
When the chains of Zhuxiantai penetrated Tong Yi's spiritual veins, and when the curses of the three thousand monks resounded through the sky, Yu Li finally saw the truth clearly.
Tong Yi protected her from natural calamity, cut out his heart's blood, and even after she defected, he still protected her secretly.
But it was too late.
Tong Yi's white clothes were soaked with blood, but his eyes when he finally looked at her were still calm.
"Ahri..." She called softly, her voice so weak that it was almost inaudible, "... Don't cry."
Those were the last words Tong Yi said to her.
However, Yu Li's nightmare has just begun.
The monsters smiled ferociously and pushed her onto the same execution platform. "Do you think you won?" The leader of the evil cultivators stepped on her fingers, "Your master protected you until his death, but you don't even understand her last wish."
The cold chains penetrated her spiritual veins, and the exact same punishment as Tong Yi suffered fell on her. In the heartbreaking pain, she finally heard the complete truth:
"Your master knew you would betray him a long time ago, but he still devoted his whole life's cultivation to you."
"Do you think you can escape the punishment of heaven? This is just the last chance she got in exchange for her soul being scattered."
"It's a pity that you still embarked on this path after all."
As the whippings fell one after another, Yu Li's screams echoed on the Zhuxian Platform. She finally understood that every bit of pain Tong Yi had endured had now been repaid to her twice as much.
"Master..." She stretched out her hand towards the void, just like Tong Yi did in the end, "I was wrong... I was really wrong..."
But this time, no one would respond to her gently, "Don't cry."
After rebirth, Yu Li returned to the time when master and apprentice first met.
In this life, she will never let anyone bully her, lie to her, or hurt her.
She wanted Tong Yi to know.
"Master, this time, it's me who will protect you."
Purpose: It's hard to find your way back when you're lost, and the day will be clear when you're gone with blood.
