Just a few dozen days ago, Qu Zhoufu was still saying to Meng Li, "This is the cliff that blocks him; he has spent forty years and still hasn't been able to get past it."
Indeed, there's no falsehood in that, Sword Talent is such a god-given, unchangeable thing; even now that the matter has settled, Pei Ye has yet to see the third form of "Beng Xue" from him.
He wanted to take control of the Xi Tingxin; he was of low status and alone, so he joined the Happy Death Tower... but can the Happy Death Tower give him what he desires?
He himself speculated that he was implanted with the Immortal Fire that controls life, but for such a person, given that he joined the Happy Death Tower of his own accord, how could he entrust his life to others?
Even if his life was no longer his to control, he didn't seem like someone who could be controlled by anyone for twenty years.
What exactly is the relationship between him and the Happy Death Tower?
