However, the moment they entered, a heavy, metallic scent of blood assaulted their senses. Su Luobai’s heart sank, and his stride faltered. Rushing inside, he saw the young man who was once known for his refined grace and elegance. Though covered in blood and pale as a sheet, he lay still. Was this... Jinyu?

His trembling hand reached out to hover beneath the young man’s nose. Thankfully, there was still breath; otherwise, he could not guarantee what he might do.
