"...I know this sounds crazy. But there's nothing wrong with believing in the monk's words, right?" Bei Xingyun did not fully disclose everything to Bei Sangyun, leaving out the part where she had stolen Chuan Yinji's life as Emily.
"Two dragons cannot live under the same sky..." Bei Sangyun muttered. That was what the monk had told her as well. She glanced at Bei Xingyun. "Did that monk tell you anything else?"
"Uhm..." Bei Xingyun avoided her gaze. "...Aside from those cryptic words, he was just adamant that you two must never meet."
"This monk... which temple is he at? I want to meet him."
"....He died. Ten years ago."
Bei Sangyun was stunned.
Bei Xingyun suddenly remembered something. "Ah, right. He mentioned a myth—the cry of a mermaid." She still recalled it because, after that conversation, she had tried to research the myth.
