How did this happen? Su Luo was so anxious she stomped her feet.
She still had so many things she wanted to say. How could she get them through to him?
Even though Su Luo wanted to leave him a message, she only found that it failed to be sent...
Su Luo was dumbfounded.
Watching her friend’s restlessness and sorrow unravel, Li Manman felt distressed as well: "Luoluo, don't worry. Lord Nangong was in a hurry when he left. Something must have happened."
"In a hurry?" Su Luo echoed nervously.
Nangong Liuyun was always very calm. If he had just wanted to avoid her, he would never have Li Manman refer to him with the word ‘hurry’.
"Yes, he was in a hurry, and his expression didn’t look good. After telling me what I just relayed to you, he disappeared from the spot at lightning speed," Li Manman replied with certainty.
Su Luo's fist clenched tightly!
She guessed that something must have happened over at the Thorns’s captain's side, forcing Nangong Liuyun to return quickly.
After all, he was away from the Thorn's captain because he had run to Su Luo again and again, regardless of the dangers.
Su Luo was nearly overwhelmed by a wave of guilt.
During the following days, Su Luo kept trying to get in touch with Nangong Liuyun. What hurt was that it was to no avail.
It was as if Nangong Liuyun had simply vanished from this world...
Su Luo’s regret and anxiety piled up every day. However, there was nothing she could do.
Eventually, instead of receiving Nangong Liuyun’s long-awaited reply, she found Senior Brother Luo.
Senior Brother Luo didn't return alone; rather, someone brought him back.
On this day, the sky poured out fat droplets of rain that smashed tiny pits into the mud.
It was under this kind of weather that Ouyang Xi, ranked tenth on the Dragon List, carried Luo Yichen back.
The white robe clinging to Ouyang Xi's body was soaked by the rain and stained with hardened blood. It was a shocking sight.
Even more shocking, though, was Senior Brother Luo.
The second Su Luo saw Luo Yichen, she unconsciously covered her mouth, for fear that she would scream.
Was this still Senior Brother Luo?
He was originally handsome and extraordinary—a man of remarkable beauty that was rarely seen in this world.
However, all Su Luo saw now was his snow-white hair that was supposed to be dark. Even his eyebrows were entirely white. His skin that had been smooth and flawless before was now covered with wrinkles and age spots... like an ancient old man from the mortal world.
"What happened here?!" Su Luo stared at Ouyang Xi accusingly.
Ouyang Xi's eyes filled with guilt as he said, "Senior Luo was invincible in the Extraterritorial Battlefield, and because of this, he drew the attention of the Demon Witch. In one mission, Brother Luo killed nearly 100 strong opponents, but he was ultimately caught. By the time we were able to rescue Senior Brother Luo, he had already become like this."
There was nothing they could do about that.
Su Luo glanced at Li Manman.
She knew how much Li Manman liked Senior Brother Luo—definitely no less than how much she liked Nangong Liuyun.
After Ouyang Xi carried Senior Brother Luo in, Li Manman remained frozen. Space and time around her seemed to stand still.
She stared at Senior Brother Luo without blinking, heartbroken.
Finally, she broke down with tears rolling down her face: "Senior Brother Luo! Senior Brother Luo!"
