"Is it you?"
I never expected that Azure Sparrow was still alive.
"Azure Sparrow, have you gone mad?" I looked at him in shock. "Tell me, why did you harm my senior brother? Why did you betray Fireflies?"
Azure Sparrow gazed at my senior brother with a dazed expression, a flicker of pain crossing his eyes. "Why, why, Yu Yao, you will never understand…"
I suppressed the pain within me and stood up, coldly saying, "Azure Sparrow, if you dare to harm my senior brother, I will make you regret ever coming into this world."
Azure Sparrow's eyes turned crimson as he suddenly burst into wild laughter. "You don't know, do you? Ten years ago, I arranged for Fireflies to assassinate the leader of the martial arts alliance!"
My heart jolted. The assassination from ten years ago—when I was poisoned—was orchestrated by him!
Azure Sparrow continued to laugh maniacally. "I deliberately exposed the assassination plan to let the martial arts alliance prepare in advance. Just as I expected, you fell into my trap. I also leaked the information to Zhou Shuhan, letting him come to save you. I wanted him to watch you die from poisoning!"
I clenched my fists. My senior brother had taken the martial arts alliance's young lady hostage to save me. Azure Sparrow intervened, and my senior brother, unwilling to engage with him, had no choice but to injure him before taking me away.
As for Azure Sparrow, he used his injuries to stage a fake death. He had his body placed in a thatched hut and secretly lured both Fireflies and the martial arts alliance members to this location one after another. When the martial arts members arrived, those from Fireflies worried that his body would be taken away and humiliated; they set the thatched hut on fire, and he seized this opportunity to escape.
Thus, Fireflies received the news that my senior brother had killed Azure Sparrow. Everyone would believe that the failure of the assassination must be related to my senior brother, leading Fireflies to harbor great dissatisfaction towards him. I had also hated my senior brother for a long time.
If it weren't for time dulling everything, I fear that when I see my senior brother again in ten years, I would draw my sword against him.
His plan was nothing short of malicious.
I walked up to him and coldly stared at him. "Senior brother has no grievances with you. Why do you want to harm him?"
Azure Sparrow is the third-in-command of Fireflies, a master of disguise known as the "Thousand-Faced Gentleman." However, he is low-key and rarely appears in Fireflies, having met my senior brother only a few times. How could he have developed a grudge that would lead him to betray Fireflies and make me turn against my senior brother?
"Harm him? No, I never thought of harming him. It's all because of you. Why won't you die? If you died, everything would be fine. If you died, he would at least look at me."
"Azure Sparrow, you truly make me sick."
"Sick? Ha ha, Lord, you still don't know, do you? He is dying. Back then, I wanted you to die in front of him, but unexpectedly, he transferred the poison onto himself, enduring ten years of torment. I hate you; I hate all of you. Just kill me! Kill me! He will soon come down to accompany me. Ha ha! You will never have him! Ha ha..."
"Lord," Azure Sparrow collapsed to the ground, gasping for breath yet still laughing maniacally. "I can't kill you, but can you live well? Ha ha! Suffer! Break down..."
I felt my blood run cold in an instant and turned to look at my senior brother, my mind blank.
My senior brother's face was already pale; at this moment, it was as white as paper. His body suddenly swayed, and my heart tightened. Almost instinctively, I rushed forward and caught his faltering form.
"Senior brother!"
My voice trembled slightly, and for a moment, my heart ached as if it were being twisted.
My senior brother had a trace of blood at the corner of his mouth, the bright red so glaring that it seemed even more vivid than the red clouds on the horizon.
"A Yao, I..." He sighed deeply, a hint of pain flashing in his eyes. "During the journey to the Martial Arts Alliance, you were poisoned by a very potent toxin called 'Drunken Dreaming.' This poison is meant solely for killing, and there is no antidote. I had no choice but to transfer the poison from your body to mine. For all these years, I have been searching for a way to detoxify, but I have not succeeded. However, it hasn't been entirely fruitless; at least it has allowed me to live ten more years, and at the end of my life, I can still see you."
His voice was somewhat weak, yet still warm.
'Drunken Dreaming' makes its victims feel as if they are in hell, their internal organs burned daily by fierce flames, suffering unbearable pain.
I tightly grasped his hand, feeling the coldness in his palm. His body temperature was gradually fading away, and my heart sank along with it.
In the end, I did not kill Azure Sparrow; I merely severed his tendons and left him on the street to compete with wild dogs for scraps.
He had harmed my senior brother and me for so many years; how could I allow him to die easily? I wanted him to endure humiliation, unable to seek life or death.
