Qin Jiaojiao's frantic laughter echoed through the silent valley, lingering for a long time. Qin Zhizhi and Yin Sichen did not look back. They walked away hand in hand, their backs resolute and unyielding. In the end, Elder Mo sealed Qin Jiaojiao's Spiritual Power. Once a proud daughter of heaven, she had now been reduced to this state, arousing endless sighs of emotion. On the way back to the Immortal Cultivation Academy, Yin Sichen held Qin Zhizhi's hand the entire time, the warmth of his palm conveying silent comfort.
He knew that although Qin Zhizhi appeared calm and indifferent on the surface, deep down she still found it hard to let go. After all, Qin Jiaojiao was once her closest younger sister. "Zhizhi, you did very well," Yin Sichen said softly. "You weren't blinded by hatred. You chose justice, and you saved the entire Immortal Cultivation World."
Qin Zhizhi turned to look at Yin Sichen. His gaze was deep and gentle, as if he could see right through everything inside her. She smiled faintly, and the heavy feeling in her heart dissipated quite a bit. "I only did what I should have done," Qin Zhizhi said. "Actually, I should thank you even more, and Elder Mo. You are the ones who have always stayed by my side, supporting me and helping me."
