Bab 278: Experiencing Sorrow

Hearing what Zhao Layue had just said, Bai Zao remained silent for a long time.

"If that day comes, will you feel disappointed?" Bai Zao suddenly asked.

She had asked Liu Shisui this same question in the Sword-Washing Hall.

"No. It should be considered a blessing that we can travel together on the path toward heaven for a while."

Zhao Layue's answer was almost the same as Liu Shisui's, but the reason was different.

Was it enough to travel together for a while?!

Bai Zao was a bit baffled, pressing, "Don't you want to travel a bit more with him?"

Zhao Layue said after a pause, "I had thought of it a long time ago…"

Back when she and Jing Jiu left the old plum garden, she refused to listen to Jing Jiu just as he was about to reveal his true identity.

It was because she didn't dare to know the answer.

She didn't even dare think about it.

Yet, she didn't feel sad because of it, or disappointed in herself.
