love comes back from anywhere
Mo Yan's disciples tried every possible way to intervene,
But their efforts were in vain.
Wui Guan's soldiers seized them, tying them down with force.
Mo Yan
Still unmoved,
Endured each blow like a stone.
For deep within, he knew
He had indeed broken rules,
Even if those rules had now been twisted into a sinister conspiracy.
Wui Guan, watching him be whipped,
Was basking in sadistic pleasure.
But Mo Yan's calm and stoic face
Began to agitate her deeply.
Finally, rage overtook her.
She unsheathed her sword.
The Grandmaster tried to stop her,
But she shoved him cruelly.
The old master fell
His frail body unable to rise.
As her sword reached Mo Yan's chest
A sharp whistle echoed across the entire academy.
Everyone froze.
Wui Guan's sword halted mid-air
Unmoving,
Even when she pulled her hand back.
It was as though time itself had stopped... but only for the sword.
Then
A gentle wind stirred,
Carrying with it soft peach blossom petals.
They floated down beside Mo Yan
Like divine messengers.
The whistle grew louder.
People looked left and right,
Utter confusion on every face.
And then
A booming voice cracked the silence like thunder before a storm:
"Who dares touch my sacred soul?"
Mo Yan's eyes widened.
He knew that voice.
Yu Sui.
He had sensed Yu Sui nearby
And now, that voice confirmed it.
From the academy's entrance,
A gust of wind surged inward,
Kicking up dry leaves and dust.
Out of that storm
Yu Sui appeared, suspended in the air.
His black robes rippled around him like a living shadow realm.
His face hidden behind a fierce wolf-eyed mask,
His new form, demeanor, and presence
Left no clue to his true identity.
The dark aura surrounding him was so intense,
That trees wilted
And birds fell from the sky.
Yu Sui descended slowly
And the moment his foot touched the ground,
Cracks spread across the earth beneath him.
He walked forward
As if Black Heaven itself were moving.
He approached Mo Yan,
Looked at the frozen sword,
And with just a glance
It turned to ash.
Then he took a single step toward Wui Guan.
She stepped back in terror.
She didn't know it was Yu Sui.
To her, he was some terrifying force beyond comprehension.
Fear overtook her,
And she fled the scene.
