Qin Yan remained silent, quietly observing the person kneeling before him. A sense of bewilderment washed over him.

He realized that he may have been wrong, but he couldn't pinpoint exactly where he went wrong. He disagreed with Fu Changling's words and wanted to refute them, yet he was uncertain what to refute.

Truth be told, Fu Changling was right-Qin Yan couldn't force himself to love him. In fact, he didn't even understand what it meant to love someone.

He had told Jiang Yebai that he was willing to put in the effort and that he would try to develop feelings for Fu Changling. If genuine love were to blossom, he wouldn't hesitate to forsake his cultivation path.

However, both he and Jiang Yebai, even any cultivator of the Emotionless Path, knew deep down that this was nearly an impossible feat.

He was deceiving Fu Changling, but in doing so, he was also deceiving himself, clinging to a faint hope that this seemingly unbreakable deadlock between them could somehow be resolved.

However, he had kept the truth hidden from Fu Changling for far too long. In both the previous life and this one, the deception had persisted for so long that when Fu Changling finally confronted him, he lacked the courage to refuse.

After a while, he managed to utter with difficulty, "Alright..."

No sooner had the word left his lips than the ancient alarm bell of the Hongmeng Heavenly Palace resonated with a thunderous sound. This alarm bell, infused with the essence of the current Palace Leader's heart's blood, only tolled when something happened to the leader.

Both Fu Changling and Qin Yan's expressions drastically changed. Qin Yan couldn't dwell on their personal affairs and instantly transformed into a flash of light, hurrying towards the Wenyue Palace.

Somewhat dazed, Fu Changling quickly followed suit.

Arriving at the Wenyue Palace, one after the other, they discovered that a barrier had been set up. Qin Yan swiftly cleaved through the barrier with his sword and landed, only to be met with a scene of sheer devastation.

The entire Wenyue Palace lay in ruins, shattered by the force of sword Qi. Qin Yan hurriedly entered, with Fu Changling close on his heels, anxiously questioning, "What happened..."

Before he could finish his words, Qin Yan abruptly halted in his tracks, his eyes widening as if a sudden realization dawned on him. He urgently turned to Fu Changling and exclaimed, "You need to leave!"

Fu Changling was slightly taken aback, noting the instant paleness on Qin Yan's face and immediately realizing that something had occurred. Collecting himself, he calmly met Qin Yan's gaze and said, "I told you not to make decisions for me."

With those words, Fu Changling stepped past Qin Yan and made his way inside. Qin Yan quickly gathered himself and followed closely behind. As they entered the Wenyue Palace, they beheld the extent of the destruction, with half of it reduced to rubble. However, Jiang Yebai's bed remained intact, with him lying there peacefully, seemingly asleep and motionless.

A radiant glow enveloped him, rendering Qin Yan rooted to the spot, too afraid to take another step. His quivering lips expressed disbelief.

Approaching calmly, Fu Changling observed Jiang Yebai lying on the bed.

At this moment, Jiang Yebai resembled a fragile porcelain figurine, with visible cracks marring his skin. Fu Changling reached out, intending to touch him, but Qin Yan urgently shouted, "Don't touch him!"
