Perhaps

As she stared at the lifeless eyes of Bing Yue, which were staring straight at her in the last moments of her life, as well as at the little boy that was lying there in her arms, with a confused look on his face, Xu Yue couldn't help but unconsciously grit her teeth.

A moment later, Xu Yue stretched out her hand and touched Bing Yue's now cold cheek.

"You really are selfish," mumbled Xu Yue, making Hulli Jing, who was standing nearby, suddenly lower her ears.

"I wasn't talking about you," said Xu Yue, with an unusually cold tone in her voice, making Hulli Jing lower her ears even further.

After saying that, Xu Yue kept staring at the corpse in front of her for several more hours, causing her to seemingly become entranced by it as she went through her memories of the past.

"Ahhh aaahhh"

Without any warning, Xu Yue's quiet trance was suddenly broken, as the little boy in the now still arms of Bing Yue had begun crying.

Before Xu Yue could do anything, Hulli Jing suddenly took action and snagged the little boy out of the hands of his mother and left the room without saying anything.

As she stared in the direction of Hulli Jing's departing figure, Xu Yue couldn't help but shake his head.

"Quite foolish, I'm not mad at you," mumbled Xu Yue before letting out a sigh and turning her attention back onto the corpse in front of her.

It was unknown who Xu Yue was talking to with this, Hulli Jing, or the little boy in her arms.

...

As she walked out of Xu Yue's cave abode, Hulli Jing felt sweat fall down her forehead.

'It's best if I leave her alone for this period of time,' thought Hulli Jing as she looked at the little boy in front of her.

"Don't worry little guy, mother is just a little bit annoyed right now, I'm sure that her mood will become better," said Hulli Jing as she pinched the cheek of the little boy.

At this very moment though, a small hole in space suddenly appeared at that very spot, sending the little boy through it, making the eyes of Hulli Jing become somewhat cold.

"Was that really necessary?" asked Hulli Jing with a cold tone in her voice, as she stared straight at Xu Yue's cave abode.

Sadly, though, Hulli Jing would get no response, as Xu Yue kept staring at the dead body in front of her with a melancholic smile on her face.

...

As he spat out a mouthful of blood, Xu Yong couldn't help but stare at the beast in front of him with a bitter look on his face.

'What were the chances of me encountering a False Core Level beast out here in this wasteland,' thought Xu Yong as he prepared his defenses and readied himself for the attack of the beast.

No matter what, as the sole Late Stage Foundation Establishment Cultivator of the Xu family, Xu Yong had to survive this.

If he truly perished right now, the Xu Family would be nearly helpless in front of the Chong Family, which had seven Foundation Establishment Cultivators.

Even though Xu Yong knew that the family could use the favor they had with one of the Golden Core Elders of the Spirit Ascendance Sect, he knew that the latter could not protect them at all times.

By now, the Spiritual Beast had fully prepared its attack against Xu Yong, and was ready to strike him down, when suddenly, it froze.

Under the horrified eyes of Xu Yong, the Spiritual Beast, who could even survive a few attacks of a true Golden Core Daoist, began rapidly dying.

At the same time, Xu Yong suddenly noticed something floating through the river behind him, causing him to turn his attention to it.

As he looked at the baby that was floating down the river, Xu Yong instantly knew what he needed to do, causing him to wave his hand, making the baby fly towards him.

Looking at the boy, as well as at the metal necklace around his neck, Xu Yong faintly frowned.

Xu Si, this was the name that was written on the necklace around the neck of the boy.

"Your parents truly did not like you..." mumbled Xu Yong as he held the baby in his arms.

...

A few years later,

As she stared at the corpse in front of her, which had remained the same these past few years, Xu Yue let out a faint sigh and waved her hand, causing it to suddenly fly behind her.

Only a moment later, Xu Yue emerged from her cave abode with the corpse behind her, as she then walked up to a plateau at the top of the mountain.

Then, Xu Yue then began digging a small grave at the top of this mountain.

With her strength, Xu Yue could of course do this in the blink of an eye, but even so, it still took around five minutes for her to fully dig this grave and place the dead body, which had now been encased by a coffin, into it.

Then, as silently as she had first dug it, Beatrice then filled up the grave with dirt, causing Hulli Jing, who had been watching her all this time, to let out a faint sigh.

"Was it truly necessary to send him away?" asked Hulli Jing as she looked at Xu Yue, causing the latter to let out a sigh.

"He has not inherited even a bit of my talent, let the past not repeat itself," said Xu Yue as she stared at the grave in front of her.

As she heard this, Hulli Jing couldn't help but fall silent, becoming much more aware of the reason for Xu Yue's decision.

"I understand, perhaps this is for the best," mumbled Hulli Jing as she approached Xu Yue and embraced her from behind and fully took Xu Yue into her embrace.

"Perhaps..."
