The night ban sinks into silence, clouds covering the moon.
Jiang Yuebai patrolled and returned, heading straight for Song Pei'er's house. As she reached the village entrance, she saw Lv Ying leaning against the wall of an empty house, her face pale and her eyes vacant.
"Lv Ying, what's wrong with you?"
Jiang Yuebai walked over, and Lv Ying trembled all over, retreating as if frightened.
"Don't come over!"
Jiang Yuebai stopped, standing at a distance, watching Lv Ying. "What on earth happened? Why can't you just tell me directly? I can help you, Lv Ying."
Tears welled up in Lv Ying's lowered eyes, unable to meet Jiang Yuebai's gaze. "Help me? Even gods can't help me, so what do you count for? So self-righteous. Just because you're an Inner Sect Disciple, you think you're something special? Help me? How laughable!"
