Chapter 460: One life for another life

Qing Li’s face was a mask of coldness.

Sikong Mo had seen his decision.

He also knew that some decisions, once made, can never be undone.

Raising his hand, Sikong Mo severed Qing Li’s bonds with just his inner strength, "You saved my life before, and recently the king has decided to let you go this once. But remember, it is only this once."

The next time they met, if Qing Li was still stubborn, Sikong Mo would definitely not hold back again.

Normally, given Sikong Mo’s nature, he would never leave any chance of survival for his enemies, but Qing Li was different.

He... was one of the few in this world who could still make him feel warmth!

The moment the chains were severed, Qing Li fell to the ground from the lack of support, got up, and walked to a spot next to Sikong Mo, yet he dared not raise his eyes to look at him, "Sikong, next time I will not hold back, and you need not show mercy."

Both knew in their hearts that if they met again, it would probably only be as enemies.

Neither wanted to hurt the other, but unfortunately, the world is always full of helpless situations.

Sikong Mo did not look back, nor did Qing Li.

Only when he could no longer hear any movement behind him did Sikong Mo turn and walk away.

The first time the Poisonous Insect Poison erupted was when he was 11 years old after he escaped from that hellish place.

Zhou Yuan, Qing Li’s master, was a renowned Divine Doctor, yet he was quirky and did not easily offer treatment.

Fortunately, there was some connection between the Royal Residence and Zhou Yuan, so Sikong Mo went to him for help and stayed at his place for a while, naturally getting to know Qing Li, who was Zhou Yuan’s disciple.

That time, when Zhou Yuan was out gathering herbs, the assassins tracked them to the cottage, forcing Sikong Mo and Qing Li to flee.

The assassins were after Sikong Mo, but at that time, he was weak and constantly tormented by the Poisonous Insect Poison, barely hanging on to his life.

Even the young Sikong Mo himself thought he was doomed.

Then, Qing Li had him hide in the large rice container in the kitchen and diverted the assassins by wearing his clothes.

Fortunately, Zhou Yuan returned in time, saving Qing Li’s life that hung by a thread.

Qing Li was slashed four times, his body almost lifeless when Zhou Yuan carried him back.

Although the wounds were not on Sikong Mo’s body, they cut deep into his heart.

So, afterwards, the then eleven-year-old Sikong Mo, once sufficiently recovered, led a counterattack, apprehended those assassins, and in front of the citizens of Fengyang City, chopped off their limbs and hung their remaining bodies on the city walls.

Because of this, the young Sikong Mo gained a reputation for being ruthless.

Afterwards, he and Qing Li didn’t meet often, only when the Poisonous Insect Poison acted up did he visit Zhou Yuan for treatment, yet the two youngsters left deep impressions on each other’s hearts.

Later, when Zhou Yuan, the Divine Doctor himself, died from poison, Qing Li took over managing Sikong Mo’s condition.

And, to better treat Sikong Mo, Qing Li left the place he had always lived with Zhou Yuan, and moved to live outside Fengyang City.

The two experienced a lot together, and although it was never said, Sikong Mo considered him a brother from his heart.

He never imagined that one day he and Qing Li would become sworn enemies.

But why?

Sikong Mo still owed an explanation, but Qing Li was not willing to answer.

After stewing in the space for a few days, the air outside seemed sweet once he stepped out.

Sikong Mo left through the window, just as Ye Jiu was opening the door, he heard a street urchin turn and shout to someone nearby, "Brother Sheng, Sister Ye is out!"
