"Master, I'm sorry…"
Bai Yang smiled as he looked at Song Wanning, but his face was stained with tears.
"If I die, will you forgive me?"
'If there is a next life, I will never break Master's heart.'
'Never, ever again.'
Hearing this, Song Wanning's expression remained indifferent, without a trace of emotion.
Her heart had long since died to Bai Yang.
She stared into Bai Yang's eyes with a resolute expression and said seriously, word by word, "I—will—not."
'I have no right to choose forgiveness on behalf of the many members of the Song Family.'
'Nor do I deserve to!'
"Heh heh…"
Bai Yang stumbled back a step, no longer able to maintain his final, forced smile.
He closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, all that remained in their depths was the resolve to face death calmly.
'This is what I owe Master. I can only repay it with my life.'
"Master, do it."
He took one last, deep look at Song Wanning.
