Reflections
Old Friend

Wangquan Yan fell to his knees on the sand. His body that was squeezing, had automatically made his Lightning God mode end just like that. With a clear face, he looked at Jingguo Li.

"After all this ..., a—aku ..., I have just realized what I really want" said the King. "I want our friendship to return to what it used to be. I want to joke again with you, Luo'er. I. .., I miss you guys so much and those times."

Wangquan Yan covered his face with both of his palms. The man cried, making the Great General Anming who saw that gasp. He did not expect that King Sheng Ri would give such a reaction.

"But .., after what happened, you must hate me. I cannot deny, I also want to succeed in this meeting because I also want to meet you again. Me .., I don't know what's happened to me all this time. The hatred that has taken hold of me, has made me forget our moments together" said Wangquan Yan.

Jingguo Li smiled as he looked at Wangquan Yan who was kneeling before him. "It's just a formality. I never hated you. I fight you because you are on the enemy's side; you also consider me your enemy." After saying so, the teacher Constantine Yang exhaled. "Kautahu .., I've never hated anyone other than that traitor Luo Yang," he continued.

Jingguo Li extended his hand to Wangquan Yan, who was immediately greeted by the King. "Because of that mysterious woman? You ..., you still love Irene, right? I've never even heard of you getting close to another woman besides her."

"Yourebrained. I'm close to Irene's daughter, Constantine Yang" explains Jingguo Li. "She's my daughter who's even closer to me than her own biological father." The man closed his eyes, then laughed out loud.

"You must have loved him very much. How's she?" Wangquan smiled wryly for a moment. Then, he changed his expression and looked at Jingguo gently, as if forgetting things that happened in the past few hours.

"Similar to Irene. She's mysterious as her mother." Jingguo Li sat himself on the sand. Luo Yang followed him and they stared at the sky together. "Constantine .., she's a very pretty girl. He is also very strong—tangguh as his name suggests. You see that sky? Constantine did it," he said.

"B—how is it possible? She's the General of the Woman, right?"

"Yes. One you should know ..., he's a pure cultivator." Jingguo Li whispered in the last words of his sentence. Wangquan Yan who heard that widened his eyes. He was shocked to death, because hearing the figure they were talking about, it turned out to have a rare identity.

"real. I knew Irene wasn't a simple woman. How's it going now? You guys still in touch?"

"Stupid! Irene and I will be severely punished if caught doing so. Anyway .., that's impossible. Irene had died a dozen years ago" Jingguo said, showing a sad face. Wangquan Yan who heard that also felt disbelief, but that was the reality. Confused as to what to say, the King Sheng Ri chose to be quiet.

"Have you felt love, my friend?"

"Should we end it?" ask Jingguo Li.

"I. .., I've decided to join your army." Wangquan Yan's statement made Jingguo Li gasp.

"You betrayed the imperial side? You know the risk, right? Ah—no, no! How can you change your course so quickly. From a long time ago, people were very wishy-washy and whiny," joked Jingguo Li. The man was holding his best friend's shoulder. "But how are we going to end this?" tanyakanya.

"I .... There's a lot to tell. It's about the empire. They ..., they—ARGH!"

"WANG'ER!" Jingguo Li gasped when he saw an arrow suddenly stuck in Wangquan Yan's arm. He could see a bit of fluid clad in the arrow—poison. Although Wangquan Yan was also a cultivator like himself, however, the man had no immunity to such dangerous compounds. That's the weakness and the point of the problem.

Jingguo Li looked up his head and looked at the perpetrator. Although he did not know him, he could confirm that he was a strong cultivator.

"If you're confused about what it's like, then let me do it. Cih, a traitor like you does not deserve to live. Wangquan Yan only had two minutes since his poison fused with the blood in his body." The perpetrator who was the mysterious man laughed out loud, then left just like that.

Jingguo Li had no intention of stopping. He also looked at Wangquan Yan with sadness. "This is the end, yes ..," he wrote.

"That girl .., she's in danger. A lot of people will be looking for it. Kauharus. No matter how strong he is, without supporters .. he is almost no different from me." Wangquan Yan sucked in his breath with great difficulty.

"P—party kekai—saran ..., me—reka ..., be careful with mere—ka. M—they have a secret. Ap—whatever it is, i—it's not a good thing. Su—atu day, en—tah you or the girl, te—muilah a ninja named ... Chinmoku. He knows sesu...—" His words were interrupted because his life was stretched.

"Wang!" Jingguo Li held his breath, then cried. He didn't expect the end of his old friend to be like this. The man, then shouted loudly. "AH! I don't know who betrayed .., but I won't let anyone hurt the people I love. The people, the knights, Constantine, or Wang'er though—they are precious to me."

Jingguo Li wiped his watery eyes, then looked at Wangquan Yan's body and hugged him. He smiled wryly. "I know, it's not just a coincidence, my Old Friend .... Destiny has other intentions with this."
