"Um, Meigui? My reason for living?". He called nervously as we rode on the donkey, we named Apple.
"You used it didn't you? And he saw?". I asked, unfazed in his arms, he chuckled nervously.
"I was only helping-".
"You put us at risk now, I hoped you enjoyed freedom-".
"Don't say stuff like that! I bet you would've done the same thing I did! Don't you dare deny it! You were worse than me back then!". He argued.
"I was careful before I fell under, how do you think I got so good at my cultivation? by pure luck? fat chance". I retorted calmly, and he groaned.
"I sure hope he didn't see me use it". He said worriedly.
"Nothing gets past him, he knows. Not to mention my eyes are the same red color. To be honest, he's the least of my worries-". I was cut off when he jumped off Apple with me in his arms and looked around, I looked at poor Apple who was caught.
"Deity-binding Net? here?". I asked as he put me down, I sensed someone coming so I grabbed Wei Ying and hid behind a tree. We peeked and saw a young teen in yellow in a ponytail and a bow in his hands, poking Apple and talking to himself.

'Lanling Jin Sect? He looks quite familiar- wait! Could he be?-".
Timeskip
"Wait here, ok? I don't want you hurting yourself more". Wei Ying said as I sat down on a rock.
"This turned out to be one heck of a night and I still feel like something bad is coming, something terrible". I said with a frown, he looked at me.
"Like what?-". There was a huge explosion in the cave which made me look.
"Lan Zhan's disciples and Jin Ling are in there!". I said worriedly.
"Let's get out of the way, it's not safe". He said as he picked me up and ran to a safer place, I looked behind and saw a female statue burst from the cave, I looked at one of her arms and saw that it was the one from the village.
"Wait, Wei Ying!-".
"We're not far enough yet-".
"It's the arm! We have to help them before they're killed!". I said firmly, he stopped and looked at me.
"We can't keep running, Wei Ying, it's the only way to fix everything we've done. We're involved in this situation whether we like it or not!". I said, I placed my hand on his cheek.
"We can't let Jin Ling die, we owe her that". I said in a low tone, he sighed.
