Chapter 994: Courting Death

"It's not that I'm entirely sure of his identity, but my heart has guessed it's close to the truth, hasn't it? Who is it?"

Liu Sisi softly pressed on, looking up at the tent's canopy.

Di Yelei fell silent again for a moment, "It's Nan Tianzong, your big brother."

Liu Sisi swiftly turned her head, sitting up from the bed, biting her lips tightly to suppress the questions that wanted to burst forth.

Initially, when she learned of Nan Tianzong's defeat and his decision to throw himself into the river, her heart clung to a slim hope. It wasn't until she heard this familiar name from Di Yelei's mouth that she realized the excitement buried deep in her heart.

"My big brother, he..."

Her voice was shaking so much that it was almost unrecognizable, yet it caused Di Yelei to take her hand.

Her little hands were ice cold and trembling strongly, so Di Yelei pulled her into his embrace, resting her head on his arm.
