In the main hall of Yin Ming Hall, a chilling atmosphere lingered. I stood in the shadows of the corner, watching Xie Wuyuan seated in the main seat, his brow furrowed. Suddenly, a disciple clad in black rushed into the hall and knelt on one knee. "Reporting to Hall Master, the Upright Sects have united and are heading towards Yin Ming Hall!" 0
 
Xie Wuyuan sprang to his feet, a glint of cold light flashing in his eyes. "Good! Let them taste the power of Yin Ming Hall!" 0
 
A tightness gripped my heart as my precognitive ability activated unexpectedly. A bloody scene unfolded before my eyes: Xie Wuyuan was besieged by several Upright Masters, covered in blood, his life force fading. I clenched my teeth, knowing I had to take action. 0
 
"Hall Master, do not underestimate them!" I stepped forward to dissuade him. Xie Wuyuan turned to look at me, a flicker of surprise crossing his face before he returned to his indifferent demeanor. "What do you suggest?" 0
 
I took a deep breath and said, "The united strength of the Upright Sects cannot be underestimated. It would be wise for us to avoid confrontation and wait for an opportunity." 0
 
Xie Wuyuan scoffed. "What is there to fear? If they dare come, I will ensure they leave without return!" With that, he strode out of the hall, leaving me standing there, filled with worry. 0
 
I knew I had to make a choice. To save Xie Wuyuan might expose my own strength, but if I did not intervene, he would surely be gravely injured or even lose his life. After much contemplation, I decided to take the risk. 0
 
In the mountains, blades flashed and shouts echoed as I hurried towards the sounds of battle. Finally, I found Xie Wuyuan at the edge of a cliff, bloodied and barely holding himself up against several Upright Masters. 0
 
"Xie Wuyuan, today is your day to die!" shouted a White-Clothed Swordsman, his sword aimed directly at Xie Wuyuan's throat. 0
 
In that critical moment, I leaped forward and positioned myself in front of Xie Wuyuan. "Stop!" I shouted fiercely as my internal energy surged; I struck out with a palm that sent the White-Clothed Swordsman staggering back several steps. 0
 
Everyone froze in surprise, clearly not expecting an unexpected intervention. Seizing the opportunity, I quickly pulled out a pill from my pocket and placed it into Xie Wuyuan's mouth. "Hurry!" I whispered urgently as I helped him up to retreat. 0
 
Xie Wuyuan looked at me weakly, confusion evident in his eyes. But given the dire situation, he couldn't afford to ask questions; he braced himself and fled with me. 0
 
 
An angry roar echoed behind me: "Don't let them escape!" I turned to see several skilled fighters closing in. 0
 
"Apologies," I murmured, quickly forming hand seals. A flash of golden light erupted as several talismans flew out, transforming into a golden barrier that temporarily blocked the pursuers' path. 0
 
Xie Wuyuan stared at me in shock. "You... you can actually perform such advanced spellcasting?" 0
 
I didn't respond, only quickened my pace. We fled until we finally stopped in front of a hidden cave. I helped Xie Wuyuan inside and carefully examined his injuries. 0
 
"Why did you save me?" Xie Wuyuan asked weakly, his eyes filled with complex emotions. 0
 
I sighed and replied, "Because I know there is still goodness in your heart. That white moonlight you seek doesn’t truly exist." 0
 
Xie Wuyuan suddenly looked up, a flicker of pain crossing his face. "How... how do you know?" 0
 
"What matters isn't how I know," I said softly, "but that you should let go of your obsession and live in the present. The past is gone, and the future holds infinite possibilities." 0
 
Xie Wuyuan fell silent, his gaze troubled. I understood he needed time to process this information, so I refrained from speaking further and focused on healing him. 0
 
As night fell, the cave was enveloped in silence. I closed my eyes to rest when suddenly I had another vision of the future: because of my intervention, Xie Wuyuan's fate would change, steering him away from a path of darkness. 0
 
I opened my eyes and looked at Xie Wuyuan, who was leaning against the cave wall lost in thought. A sense of relief washed over me. Perhaps this adventure was worth it after all. 0
 
"What should we do next?" Xie Wuyuan suddenly asked. 0
 
 
I smiled and said, "First, let’s heal your wounds, and then... we will face the future together." 0
 
Xie Wuyuan looked at me, a glimmer of warmth flashing in his eyes. He nodded gently, "Alright." 0
 
Outside the cave, the moonlight poured down like water, illuminating this land that had once been stained with blood. In this hidden corner, a new story was quietly beginning. 0
