Confession, ink cloud

He has always been a deep and introspective man, never revealing his inner thoughts in front of anyone.

Just like his time spent with Bai Li Hongzhuang, he longed to open up his heart to her, but she couldn't fully trust him.

That's because he had always kept his thoughts hidden too deeply.

Trust, that was a word he had relentlessly pursued in the past.

But after getting to know Bai Li Hongzhuang, he realized that there was no room for him in her heart. So all he hoped for was her trust.

He didn't ask for anything more, just that he could be of help when Bai Li Hongzhuang needed it.

He never cared about anything, not emotions, not friends, not even his own life.

Back in the Fallen Cloud Mountain Range, he had wished for his own death, seeing it as a form of release.

Living like a walking corpse had gradually numbed his heart, and the bleak existence had made him unsure of what he truly desired.

He had always been cold-blooded, feeling that even the blood in his bones was cold. But after meeting Bai Li Hongzhuang, he had the first urge to understand.

However, he had come too late in the end.

Fate had always enjoyed playing tricks on him. He had never desired anything, and the one time he did desire something, that person didn't belong to him.

Perhaps, as someone who walked in darkness, he was destined to walk alone. When a ray of warm sunlight shone upon him, he didn't even know what he should do.

He had never needed to participate in assessment competitions. To him, such events were nothing more than a waste of time.

But since Bai Li Hongzhuang participated, he came as well.

Only he knew all of this, and even until now, Bai Li Hongzhuang didn't know his feelings.

Now that the assessment competition was coming to an end and Emperor Beichen was about to arrive, it was time for him to leave.

Before leaving, he suddenly felt somewhat unwilling, an unwarranted sense of regret.

Even if he had to leave, he at least wanted Bai Li Hongzhuang to understand his heart, to know that he was worth her trust.

His hands were stained with much blood, both good and bad, kind and despicable, damned and innocent, he had experienced them all.

But even though he could harm anyone in the world, he never had a single thought of harming Bai Li Hongzhuang.

Since Hongzhuang wanted to be with Emperor Beichen openly and legitimately, he would lend her a helping hand.

He didn't want his beloved woman to suffer such grievances, just like what happened with Nangong Xiujie. He was enough to deal with that despicable guy.

Deep inside, he knew that as someone with hands soaked in blood, he was unworthy of having someone like Bai Li Hongzhuang by his side. So he only wished to protect her from afar.

As long as she was happy, it was enough.

Bai Li Hongzhuang stared at Mo Yunjue in a daze. She had never imagined that Mo Yunjue would suddenly confess to her like this. She was caught off guard, and her heart was filled with shock.

Since getting to know Mo Yunjue, he had always been helping her, mysteriously appearing as if he had a presence everywhere she went.

She had never understood why Mo Yunjue would help her like this. Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai had speculated that Mo Yunjue had feelings for her, but throughout their journey, Mo Yunjue had never shown such emotions.

He always helped her as a friend but carried an air of mystery.
