In the alleyways of Yiling, there was an abandoned child who did his best to survive. Everyday, he scoured for food and fought dogs who hurted him.
It hurts. Bites starting to bruise his already blemished skin as he curled into a ball and hoping to...

Choi Han watched the redhead for a while in an uncomfortable manner. He doesn't know whether he should wallow in guilt or kneel for forgiveness.
In front of him was no villain at all, but a man who simply did his best to save those who he cherish.
Choi Han can't believe that he was deceived by all those lies. He couldn't even manage to think that what if, he chose a different choice from the start?
No matter how he berates himself, what has been done is done.
"Caㅡuhmm..."
With his call, the redhead looked like he was snapped out of his trance. It was as if he remembered that he's in a war zone and in front of him was the man who killed Jiang Cheng.
"It's Wei Xun."
Choi Han could not help but feel how ironic it is and how his name really fits the redhead.
"...Xun-nim...Iㅡ"
"Don't. I don't have any need for your apology."
The swordsman was speechless before lowering his head in shame.
Choi Han could see how he put his bloody and shaking hands on his face, as if he wants to shield himself from reality.
"Xiao Wang." The redhead calls then, the sword immediately trotting beside him before it materialized into a grown man.
Before he could say another word, a sword cuts through Cale's defensive barrier and shattered it to pieces, making him cough out another pool of blood.
The moment the sword was only inches away from the redhead's neck, Xiao Wang used himself as a shield to protect the redhead.
At that point, Jin Zixuan appeared, deflecting the sword aimed for Xiao Wang and Wei Xun with Sihua.
"That's enough!" Jin Zixuan exclaims, making the cultivators stop and looked at each other.
"Get out! Get out of my Sect!"
Cale could see how Jin Zixuan was doing his best not to crumble down, he could clearly see how he shakes uncontrollably, making the redhead mirror his actions.
He unknowingly grips Jiang Cheng in his arms tighter.
Cale soon puts enough force on his legs to stand up, slowly carrying the body in his arms as he stumbled for a while before he finally managed to carry the younger.
"Let...let me carry him." Xiao Wang tries to propose, but Cale simply turned his offer down.
"It's fine."
Cale wants to carry all the burden that was placed on his shoulder.
But just because he could carry it well does not mean it is not heavy.
It's very heavy to the point it suffocates him.
"Gege! Carry me on your shoulders!"
"Hey! It's not fair! You did it last time! It's my turn now!"
