Chapter 155: Chapter 154: Arrogance_1

“Amidst the rain of arrows, she looked at her father’s handsome and elegant face with a smile, gently raising his hand to wipe away her tears. ‘Kid has grown up, you must take good care of your mother for me. Do not seek revenge, do not harbor resentment, live the rest of your life in peace. Just surviving is enough!’

As she watched her father’s figure disappear like sand in the wind, her heart was in turmoil, burning with pain. She reached out frantically to grab him… but caught nothing!

‘Sister!’

At the sound, she turned around abruptly and saw her brother,vered in blood, standing under the mountain ofrpses. She dashed towards him madly, ‘A Yu! A Yu!’

She knew well that her father and brother had long been dead.

She knew well that this was only a dream, a heart-wrenching, soul-shattering dream. But she still did not want to wake up!

Because her loved ones were here!

Bai Qingyu’s bloodied face showed a regretful smile, choking back his sobs, ‘Sister, A Yu promised to bring you the most beautiful pigeon blood stone from South Jin. A Yu is going to break his promise!’

She hugged her brother tightly, closed her eyes, and cried out loud, ‘Sister doesn’t want the pigeon blood stone! Sister doesn’t want it! Sister only wants A Yu to be safe! A Yu… A Yu!’

‘Kid…’

Hearing the voice, she turned around, ‘Grandfather!’

Her grandfather was dressed in the clothes he usually wore for practicing at home, smiling and waving at her kindly as always.

She felt the hand she was holding suddenly empty, and her brother’s figure was no longer there. Her throat tightened as she tearfully took one step after another towards her grandfather,llapsed at his feet in extreme sorrow, and cried out loud while hugging his legs, ‘Grandfather! Grandfather…’

Her grandfather bent down and gently stroked her head, holding her hand. His old and kind voice carried a soothing strength, ‘Kid protected her sister and supported the Bai family… Grandfather is very pleased. Grandfather is proud of Kid.’

She bit her lip hard and shook her head vigorously. No… she had not done well enough! She did not deserve to make her grandfather proud. If she had pulled herself together earlier, stopped treating herself like a sickly person, and regained her martial arts skills sooner, sheuld have fought alongside her grandfather and the others in South Jin… perhaps sacrificing her life for even a few Bai family members’ safety.

Grandfather’s smile grew warmer and kinder, ‘Does Kid know, what was Grandfather’s lifelong wish?’

‘Peace and stability, a tranquil world…’

Grandfather nodded, his voice filled withmpassionate tenderness after enduring many hardships, ‘Better to be a dog in peaceful times than a person in chaotic times! Born in a troubled world, what do the people want but peace and stability? Would Kid be willing to carry on Grandfather’s legacy andntribute to themmon people?’

‘The Bai family has been a loyal and righteous lineage for generations, upright and dedicated to the people, sacrificing personal interests for the public good, yet we meet with suspicion from our masters and ruin for our loyalty. Grandfather… do you still want me to protect Jin?’

‘What does Kid think, why does a person live?’ Grandfather asked gently.

Before sheuld answer, Grandfather’s figure dissolved into a soft light. Her throat tightened as she reached out to grasp Grandfather but caught only emptiness.

‘Grandfather! Grandfather!’ She called out her Grandfather in panic, but there was only her echo in the empty canyon.

‘Sister! Sister…’
