...

The scene shifts to a forest.

Baifeng was carrying Nong Yu and Baifeng was using his lightness skills to travel at a very fast speed by jumping from treetops to treetops.

Then, while Baifeng was carrying Nong Yu at this fast pace, Nong Yu said to him in a low weak voice, "Stop please."

Baifeng said, "No, we must keep going."

Nong Yu said in a low weak voice, "Please stop for a while."

Baifeng ignored her and didn't stop.

Then, Nong Yu coughed and vomited blood again, so Baifeng landed on the ground.

After Baifeng had landed on the ground, he laid Nong Yu on a tree and looked at her in a worried expression.

Nong Yu was just laying weakly on the tree.

Then, Nong Yu said, "The sky is getting darker...

The life of an assassin has always belonged to the night."

After hearing Nong Yu say this, Baifeng said to her, "Hang in there.

You'll be alright for sure."

Nong Yu said, "You can't save me."

Then, Baifeng said, "Moya sacrificed himself for the both of us.

I can't let you die.

If I let you die, then that means that Moya's effort was all for nothing."

Nong Yu said, "I've lied to you."

Baifeng said, "What?"

Nong Yu said, "The poison that I've taken...

There was never an antidote for it."

Baifeng was shocked when he heard this.

Then, Baifeng embraced Nong Yu in his arms hastily and cried in tears.

Baifeng continued to hug Nong Yu like this for a long time.

Then, after a while, it was night time now.

Baifeng could hear Nong Yu saying to him in a very weak voice, "As an assassin...

I am not allowed to fall in love.

But...

I would like to tell you before I die.

Even though I was never allowed to fall in love...

I have fallen in love with you already in the short time that we've met.

When I see you..."

Nong Yu coughed out blood again.

Baifeng became worried when he saw this.

Then, he looked at Nong Yu with a worried and sad expression.

Nong Yu continued saying to Baifeng in a very weak voice as if she could barely breathe, "When I see you...

I saw my own reflection in you...

I saw how similar the both of us are like...

I want to say before I die...

I love you..."

Baifeng shed tears as he said to Nong Yu, "Why did you lied to me that there was an antidote for your poison?"

Right after Baifeng said this, Nong Yu said to Baifeng, "Baifeng...

I can see Moya...

Moya is floating in the air right on top of us...

He is coming closer to us..."

After hearing Nong Yu say this, Baifeng looked around to see if Moya was around, but he couldn't see Moya anywhere, so he thought to himself, "Other than the two of us, there are no one else in this forest.

Is she hallucinating?

They say that when people are about to die, they would see things not of the living world.

No..."

After thinking to himself about this, Baifeng felt extremely anxious so he grabbed Nong Yu's shoulders and shook her repeatedly while saying to her, "Nong Yu...

Snap out of it.

You're seeing things.

You have to snap out of it."

Then, Nong Yu said to Baifeng very weakly while Baifeng was still shaking her shoulders, "My...

My time is almost up...

Baifeng...

Hug me tightly one last time...

I want to be in your embrace one last time..."

After hearing Nong Yu say this, Baifeng embraced Nong Yu tightly in his arms hastily.

Baifeng continued to embrace Nong Yu in his arms tightly like this for a while.

Then, after a while, Baifeng could feel that Nong Yu's heart had stopped beating.

Baifeng felt extremely anxious after he noticed this.

Then, he took two of his fingers and held them close to Nong Yu's face.

Baifeng realized that Nong Yu had stopped breathing also.

Then, Baifeng felt deep sorrow and astonishment in him after he realized that Nong Yu was dead now.

Tears were falling from his face as he stared at Nong Yu's lifeless body that was resting on his chest.

Baifeng continued to cry and did not say a word as he held Nong Yu in his arms and looked down at her beautiful face while her eyes were closed.

Then, he thought to himself, "Just yesterday, both Moya and Nong Yu were in perfect conditions.

Who would have thought that today, both of them would be in their conditions that they are in now."

Baifeng continued to cry in tears after thinking to himself about this, due to him losing the two people that he is closest to in just one day.

Then, while Baifeng was crying in tears while holding Nong Yu in his arms, a person walked from behind Baifeng towards him.

When the person approached Baifeng, the person said in an astonished voice, "Nong Yu..."

Baifeng turned back while still holding Nong Yu in his arms and saw Honglian standing in back of him.

Then, Baifeng said, "You are acquainted with her."

Honglian said to Baifeng, "You, why are you here with her?"

Baifeng said to Honglian, "Tell me, was it you that sent her to go and assassinate Ji Wuyi."

Honglian said, "Ji Wuye is still alive and yet she's dead.

Do you think this question still needs an answer?"

Baifeng got mad and made a fist with his hand after hearing this.

Then, Honglian said to Baifeng, "Yes, I was the one that planned the assassination and she was the one that agreed to go."

Baifeng said to Honglian, "Why did she lie to me that there was an antidote for the poison that she had taken?"

Honglian said, "Perhaps you would never know why she lied to you."

After Honglian had said this, Baifeng laid Nong Yu's body down on a tree and got up.

Then, he said to Honglian in a calm angry voice, "You...

You were the one who killed her."

After saying this, Baifeng dashed towards Honglian to attack her.

However, right when he was about to land a hit on her, someone suddenly appeared from behind of Honglian and got in front of her.

Then, this person caught Baifeng's neck with his hand and strangled Baifeng while Baifeng was coming in at top speed to attack Honglian.

Baifeng struggled while the person strangled him with his hand and lifted Baifeng up into the air.

Then, Baifeng looked and saw that the person who was strangling him was Wei Zhuang.

Wei Zhuang said to Baifeng, "No one killed her.

You can only blame yourself for this."

Baifeng said to Wei Zhuang in a struggling tone while Wei Zhuang was still strangling him with his hand, "You...

It's you..."

Wei Zhuang said to Baifeng in an arrogant tone, "You couldn't keep her alive because you are not strong enough."

Right after saying this, Wei Zhuang released Baifeng from his grasp and Baifeng fell to the ground.

Baifeng breathed heavily right after Wei Zhuang released him.

Then, Wei Zhuang said to Baifeng while Baifeng was still on the ground, "Right now, all of Ji Wuye's men are searching everywhere for you.

You have two choices to choose from right now.

One...

Go back and let them capture you.

Two...

Join Quicksand and take revenge on Ji Wuye to avenge your lover.

I'll let you pick between the two."

Baifeng hesitated for a while.

Then, Baifeng said to Wei Zhuang, "Alright, I'll join your Quicksand Assassin Group then.

I'll take revenge on Ji Wuye for what he did to Nong Yu and Moya."

Wei Zhuang said in a confused tone after hearing Baifeng say this, "Moya?"

Baifeng said, "Moya was injured by Ji Wuye.

He was the one that helped me and Nong Yu escape, but I am unsure of how he is right now."

Then, Wei Zhuang said, "Since you have joined Quicksand now, come with me.

I'll take you to go and meet the rest of the members of Quicksand."

After saying this, Wei Zhuang left.

Honglian followed after Wei Zhuang.

Then, Baifeng carried Nong Yu in his arms as he followed Wei Zhuang and Honglian.
