Chapter 369: The Price-IV
Xiao Yun's brows furrowed. Does he meant the same as what Liu Yan Hui said? That there would be futures she couldn't avoid and even if Choi Yeon Jun didn't repeat what he did in the past there would be someone who would kill her in the same fashion, taking his position? Her body felt chilled from the thought.
On the other hand, Andy was confused. He didn't understand what he meant and his thought was said to his mouth, "I don't understand. Why would she die if you wouldn't repeat your mistake?" he asked and heard Choi Yeon Jun chuckling that made him irked.
"Do you know that other than us two there is also someone else who had turned back time?" There was? Andy asked himself and Choi Yeon Jun could tell he was shocked, confused, and curious who it was. Perhaps it was Wang Li Lei? He wondered if it was him, that's better. Andy believe that in this world other than him, or Xing Fu, Wang Li Lei would be the first when it comes to protect Xiao Yun from danger.
But unexpectedly, Choi Yeon Jun named, "Xiao Yun. She had also turned back time. Didn't you notice that there was a different when you first meet her?" he asked.
"You've been watching us." Andy said. Once again, Choi Yeon Jun was a step faster in everything which made the opportunity for him to win before others and have people defeated.
"Oh, just a little. Since I've just turned back time at the same time as you. Not that fast and coincidentally I saw you there and guessed that perhaps you've also turned back time like what that person told me and it was correct."
"That person?"
"The person who helped me by turning time." replied Choi Yeon Jun and Andy sank in silence. He began to think that Choi Yeon Jun's words were somewhat correct. Xiao Yun he saw was different than before. In the past at her age, she would be spoiled to the core, making her to act some times like a crazy person. But when he had seen her earlier, she had a different poise around her. She was gentler and milder with her surroundings. She was unlike the she in the past which could be because she was not the same her as she had turned time like him and Choi Yeon Jun.
"If what you say is correct, then what? Who would attack Xiao Yun and kill her other than you? Does it have to do with this whole ritual of turning back time?" asked Andy and Choi Yeon Jun smiled.
"Correct. You're fast to talk with brother." he praised wholeheartedly with a toneless voice.
Andy pushed the gun he didn't put down again toward Choi Yeon Jun's head. "Don't call me that." he had enough of this guilty emotion inside of him that tel him he couldn't kill how own brother and the part of him that wish to find the kind part of Choi Yeon Jun which had him split in two sides. Having Choi Yeon Jun call him brother like what he wished for in the past only turn his blood cold.
Choi Yeon Jun only shrug as his reply, "When the ritual of turning back time is activated, the price is life. I have paid for my own interest but Xiao Yun didn't."
"She didn't?" he asked, "Then how did she turn back time."
"A different way than us or more specifically me. You, Mr. Andy was the one who was brought by accident which is fortunate as you don't need any payment with price of life for the ritual. But I who had turned time had to pay for it and I pay it before I died, by killing myself." he coolly stated, his eyes also didn't mind to be staring back at the gun. Instead, Choi Yeon Jun took his time to read Andy's expression. When he saw the hesitation and his unwillingness over Andy's smile his grin widened.
"Xiao Yun had also payed hers in the past with her life." reminded Andy, looking at him with an eye asking if he had forgotten.
"She didn't." Choi Yeon Jun replied back. "I killed myself but she wasn't killed willingly. She hoped to come back to the past no matter what was the price but she didn't pay for the price and now the nature is asking for her to repay back for what she had taken of."
On Choi Yeon Jun's reply, Xiao Yun was left confused. How did he knows all of that? The ritual, thought herself. Unlike her who had activated taboo magic accidentally, Choi Yeon Jun knows how to turn the time by the ritual he mentioned. She didn't know what ritual he went through but it had succeeded.
Xiao Yun knew all about the black magic through Liu Yan Hui who she had thought not to be a human but what about Choi Yeon Jun? How did he know the way to turn back time? From who? And he looked as if he knows more than she did.
She then shifted her eyes toward Andy. The man ground his teeth, anger rushing to the knuckles as his grip tightened to the gun. He could not understand how he could easily state how Xiao Yun had been killed unwillingly by his own mouth as if he wasn't the one who had killed her after what had happened.contemporary romance
"There could be a way to avoid it from happening. There must be." said Andy. "Even without your help as long as I can protect her she would be fine. I know what will happen in the future when she would die and change everything." He had seen how Xiao Yun died and knows more about the future than others. Even without Choi Yeon Jun's help, he should be able to save her thought Andy to himself and protect Mr. and Mrs. Yu, avoiding all those painful time where Xing Fu was left alone.
He could still remember how Xing Fu looked when he was alone and the word alone had never been good for him. Whatever he could do, if it was in order to protect the people of Yu Family who had saved him from many times when he thought was the end, he would take all opportunity. But he felt reluctant to agree and help Choi Yeon Jun who had killed them in the past. How cruel he was to kill Mr. and Mrs. Yun, before finally killing Xiao Yun. She didn't owe Choi Yeon Jun anything but the man had owed everything at her.
