In the quiet and dim Ming hall, the last glimmer of gold pierced through the entire room.
Two figures stood facing each other, the youth as if suppressing a trembling flame in his heart through the most severe torment, the girl watching him quietly, her garments fluttering lightly in the breeze.
"Before I arrived, weren't you also striving to kill it?" Pei Ye said hoarsely, fearful she would refuse, "I come from [Heart Slash], I can help you, Miss Ming."
Ming Yun looked at him, her eyes clear as mirrors showing no surprise; she turned back and carefully arranged the last two tokens: "I haven't thought about killing it anymore."
"...Hmm?"
"I don't want to destroy it." Ming Yun closed the box, tilted her head up slightly, her eyes calm as a breeze, "You don't have to hate it like that."
Pei Ye was slightly startled.
