Due to the relationship with Old Classmate, it was still possible to ask them for some Antidote. After all, she was also a victim of Millennium's Last Love.
Ouyang Shaohua was cautious in her thinking. As soon as they arrived here, they immediately sealed off Zihongfang's residence, preventing anyone from entering or leaving.
Ouyang Shaohua and Huangfu Jiayin both walked towards the room, but they saw a male Disciple standing at the door. He was a young Male Monk, only in his teens. Behind the Male Monk stood Xuan Yuan Shuang Tian, who was holding Huangfu Jiayun. A shiny small knife was pressed against Huangfu Jiayun's neck.
At this moment, Huangfu Jiayun no longer had the youthful aura of a girl; she had become a frail person with thinning hair, a pale face, dim eyes, and weak limbs. Even the clothes she wore were extremely dirty.
Huangfu Jiayin recognized her sister and, seeing her sister's current state, bit her lip until it bled. Although she tried to hold back her tears, her heart was filled with intense anger! She hated Zihongfang and wanted revenge!
Ouyang Shaohua stopped at the door and asked the boy, "What does this mean? Are you not letting us in?"
The boy foolishly replied, "Zijie said that as long as you give us the Antidote for Millennium's Last Love, you can take Huangfu Jiayun away. Don't say anything else."
At this moment, Xuan Yuan Shuang Tian spoke up: "Ouyang Shaohua, congratulations! I heard you have broken through to Little Ancestor Saint. But don't try to lock the space because I can still kill Huangfu Jiayun."
Ouyang Shaohua sneered, "Xuan Yuan Shuang Tian, you've really made progress; you actually threaten us with a classmate. Can't you just talk to us properly?"
Xuan Yuan Shuang Tian also sneered back: "It was Guan Yue who taught me that one must be ruthless towards enemies."
Huangfu Jiayin immediately interjected: "Shouldn't it be you who taught Guan Yue first? Xuan Yuan Shuang Tian, let my sister go, and I can spare your life."
Xuan Yuan Shuang Tian smiled bitterly: "Thank you. I still want Zihongfang to live. She has sacrificed too much for me. In fact, she didn't need to take revenge for me; she could live well on her own, but she chose to do so. It moved me deeply, so I am willing to die for her to live. As long as you agree to let her live, I can die right away and will immediately release Huangfu Jiayun. As an Old Classmate, I hope you won't deceive me."
Upon hearing Xuan Yuan Shuang Tian's words, Ouyang Shaohua and Huangfu Jiayin felt something strange; could there really be such mutual feelings between Xuan Yuan Shuang Tian and Zihongfang? How could someone as malicious as Zihongfang make Xuan Yuan Shuang Tian willing to die for her?
Seeing Huangfu Jiayin eager to save her sister, Ouyang Shaohua remained silent and left the opportunity for Huangfu Jiayin. To rescue Huangfu Jiayun, Ouyang Shaohua agreed to let Zihongfang go because Huangfu Jiayin was too important for Yongning Continent; Ouyang Shaohua did not want her to be upset.
However, Huangfu Jiayin had a scale in her heart; she knew the crimes committed by Zihongfang. She could not bring herself to forgive Zihongfang, not even for her sister's sake, and she would never let Zihongfang go.
So Huangfu Jiayin asked, "Where is Zihongfang?"
"She doesn't want to be here; she entrusted me to act on her behalf," Xuan Yuan Shuang Tian said calmly from inside. He had clearly made his own decision. Ouyang Shaohua, now a Little Ancestor Saint, used her Divine Sense to scan the area and immediately detected Zihongfang's presence; she was in the room inside. She was coming here.
Xuan Yuan Shuang Tian continued, "Everything Zihongfang did was for revenge against me, so you can hold me accountable for it all. Let me bear all her sins."
Xuan Yuan Shuang Tian's performance today made Ouyang Shaohua see him in a new light. She realized that today’s Xuan Yuan Shuang Tian was truly a man, a responsible young man. If he had been like this earlier, Zihongfang would not have fallen so low. Ouyang Shaohua sighed inwardly; one misstep led to another. They could only blame themselves.
Huangfu Jiayin's thoughts were entirely on her sister, but she could not forgive Zihongfang because everything Zihongfang had done was inhumane and devoid of humanity; she was a devil who deserved no forgiveness.
Thus, she could only confront Zihongfang directly, hoping that she would voluntarily choose to die. At this point, she had no reason left to live.
Just as Xuan Yuan Shuang Tian was arguing that Zihongfang was not present, Zihongfang walked out on her own. Like Huangfu Jiayin, she was nothing but skin and bones, frail and weak, but her eyes revealed a sinister intensity.
She leaned against the wall as she walked out. Upon seeing Zihongfang emerge, Xuan Yuan Shuang Tian became anxious and shouted at her, "Hongfang, hurry back and lie down; there’s nothing for you here. They will give us the Antidote. You will all be fine."
Zihongfang ignored him and continued walking toward the door. Her body was already hunched over, unable to stand straight. Millennium's Last Love had deeply infiltrated her body and was about to take her life.
Finally, she stood before Ouyang Shaohua and Huangfu Jiayin. Ouyang Shaohua looked at her in confusion, unsure of what she intended to do. Huangfu Jiayin hoped that Zihongfang would spare her sister and take responsibility alone.
Zihongfang looked at Ouyang Shaohua and Huangfu Jiayin before glancing at Naijia, Naiqian, Shui Yining, and Sima Xiaoxiao behind them. She spoke up: "Shui Yining, I'm so glad to see you again; you’re back! You shouldn’t have left school back then; it must have been tough for you. But now you look so beautiful; Guan Yue must have helped you? I knew He Bi also became so pretty with his help. He really has some enviable methods."
Zihongfang spoke as if Ouyang Shaohua and the others were not there to capture her.
Shui Yining replied, "You’ve suffered too." Shui Yining felt no hatred toward Zihongfang; seeing her like this was truly pitiful.
Zihongfang looked at Jia Yin and Naijia with envy and said, "You two are doing well; your taste is better than mine. You’re both thriving now! But I don’t regret it; life is just a lifetime no matter how it’s lived. It’s fair enough; whether early or late death is still just one life."
Finally, Zihongfang turned to Ouyang Shaohua with a serious expression and said, "Shaohua, we shared the same dormitory at Qilin Academy, yet our fates are so different now. You are already a Little Ancestor Saint while I remain an Eternal Realm Practitioner. Soon you will become Guan Yue's wife while I can only be Xuan Yuan Shuang Tian's wife—no, his maid—because he has no time to marry me now. Our relationship in school wasn’t bad; we often chatted together about boys' merits and flaws. Just a few years have passed, yet we’ve drifted so far apart. But at least I can say I loved once and took it seriously; even if I didn’t succeed, I put my heart into it. I don’t regret it. Of course, if given another choice in life, I would change things; but since it has come to this point, let it be."
Ouyang Shaohua, Huangfu Jiayin, and Naijia remained silent, simply watching their former classmate with calm expressions. Reflecting on their youthful days at Qilin Academy, they were filled with indescribable emotions.
Zihongfang took a step back, smoothing her disheveled hair, and calmly addressed Ouyang Shaohua and Huangfu Jiayin: "I don't know who holds the power here now, but I ask you to release all of them. I will take full responsibility for everything. Give them the Millennium's Antidote, and then let them all leave here. Huangfu Jiayun will safely return to you. They are all innocent. Xuan Yuan Shuang Tian has already faced your punishment; just let her go. The other girls have been harmed because of me; they are purely victims. Huangfu Jiayun was foolish not to listen to her sister and your advice, so she can only blame herself. I hope she will be wiser in the future. That is all I have to say; what do you think?"
A look of resignation appeared on Zihongfang's thin face, making her seem less detestable.
Naijia felt a strange sympathy for Zihongfang after hearing her words, despite having despised her in the past. Was she being too soft-hearted?
Huangfu Jiayin had been waiting for Zihongfang to say those words: "I will take responsibility." This was Huangfu Jiayin's bottom line.
At this moment, Ouyang Shaohua did not think much further; capturing Zihongfang was her priority. Xuan Yuan Shuang Tian was already incapacitated and had no ability to make a comeback. She allowed Huangfu Jiayin to speak and make decisions because her sister was still in Xuan Yuan Shuang Tian's hands.
Inside the room, Xuan Yuan Shuang Tian shouted loudly: "Zihongfang, you can't die! Let me die instead. I'm already useless; you can still recover your body and regain your strength. You can still achieve great things!"
Zihongfang ignored Xuan Yuan Shuang Tian's cries, only managing a painful smile because she knew that Xuan Yuan Shuang Tian was putting on an act. However, she could not break Xuan Yuan Shuang Tian's facade since it was a choice she willingly made, albeit a wrong one.
She understood that Xuan Yuan Shuang Tian had never truly loved her, but she no longer had the chance to regret it. Due to Xuan Yuan Shuang Tian's arrogance, she faced Guan Yue's punishment.
To prove that her choice was correct, Zihongfang fought tirelessly for Xuan Yuan Shuang Tian's sake, striving to vindicate him! She even offended all her classmates in the process. Now, while her classmates were thriving, she found herself increasingly worse off and weaker.
In reality, she had lost the courage to continue fighting.
