The Good for Nothing Seventh Young Lady
Chapter 2705: Lost Life (2)

"I have nothing to be proud of in this life of mine. When I was young, I muddled along without any aim and made a lot of silly things. As a man, I couldn’t protect my wife; as a father, I couldn’t protect my son; as a Warlock, I couldn’t stick to my beliefs. I have done too many wrong things and there is nothing worth praising in my life. The only thing that makes me proud is that I found such a little disciple in the Holy Roland School, who let me see the hope of the Warlock profession rising again. It's ridiculous that she keeps calling me master when I really don't think I deserve to be her master. Apart from giving her some basic knowledge as a starting Warlock a few years ago, I didn't have anything to teach her."

"But, this little girl is very stubborn. Her stubbornness is both hateful and adorable. She looked for ways to cure me, took me to The Rising Sun City to enjoy happiness; in front of everyone, she is very respectful to such a mediocre old man as me, and she never hides that I am her master. My own wife and children died early because of me. I thought I would spend my life alone as I grew old, but I didn't expect to be able to see such a bright little girl in the end. I even became the president of some Warlock Guild and lived such a comfortable life, enjoying the happiness under the title of master of the Barren Land’s Lord. Ye Qing, I'm different from you. I've fallen to hell and can never get back up. My strength is now ordinary. It's really ordinary... But I thought, ah, my disciple is in trouble and I, as the master, have no choice but to help. My old bones can always be of some use, even if I only buy a little more time for her."

Ye Qing's mind kept ringing with what Yun Qi had said the night before the war.

That night, the two masters of Shen Yanxiao were sitting in the study, drinking wine under the light of the lamp.

He clearly remembered everything that came out of Yun Qi’s smiling mouth after drinking, and that in the end he was lying on the table sobbing.

As everyone knew, Shen Yanxiao, the Lord of the Barren Land, had two masters. One was Ye Qing, the first Grandmaster Pharmacist of Radiance Continent, and the other was Yun Qi, a Warlock with mysterious and eccentric origins.

Ye Qing already had a resounding reputation. No one could say anything about him being Shen Yanxiao's master.

However, Yun Qi was different. He was a Warlock and a Warlock who had taken part in the research of forbidden techniques. His own achievements in the Warlock profession could not be compared with Ye Qing's achievements in pharmaceutics.

Shen Yanxiao had long ago surpassed her own master.

Yun Qi was always thinking of doing something for Shen Yanxiao.

This time, he finally got what he wanted.

In exchange for his life, he was able to buy more time for the alliance army.

Yun Qi said that everything was his own fault and that he would one day atone for his sins.

He was able to repay the crimes he had committed during those dark years using forbidden techniques.

Ye Qing knew that Shen Yanxiao would learn of the death of Yun Qi one day, but he didn't want to tell her about it at this time.

The devil army was just outside The Rising Sun City. Shen Yanxiao was carrying way too big a burden on her shoulders at the moment.

This was not the right time.

"Master Ye Qing, the new batch of potions has been prepared. Please have a look." Members of the Pharmacist Union came to Ye Qing with the news.

Ye Qing suddenly recovered from his thoughts. He raised his cuff and wiped the wet corners of his eyes.

The war was not over yet. They had no time for sorrow.

"Well, let me see."
