Wu Xuanye turned around and saw an old man standing at the end of the bridge. His figure was thin and his face was haggard, but it was not difficult to see the shadow of his youth.
He stared at the man, froze for a moment, and called out as if unsure: "Wu Mubai?"
Wu Mubai was a little excited. He staggered over and looked at Wu Xuanye: "Can you still recognize me?"
Wu Xuanye narrowed his eyes and said in a colder tone: "Even if it turns into ashes, I can recognize it."
Wu Mubai's face darkened and he smiled bitterly: "You seem to have not changed, you are still so young."
Wu Xuanye was not in the mood to reminisce with him, so he asked: "Why are you here?"
As far as he knew, Wu Mubai had been dead for decades, so why was he still staying here instead of reincarnating?
Wu Mubai said: "I'm waiting for you."
"wait for me?"
Wu Xuanye glanced at him: "You know I'm not dead, so you've been waiting here for me?"
"yes."
Wu Mubai said: "After I left Southern Xinjiang, I have been trying to find out about you and what happened to you."
When Wu Xuanye heard this, his face became stunned. He suddenly grabbed Wu Mubai's neck and said angrily: "What can I do to you?"
"No."
Wu Mubai seemed to be unable to feel the pain. He was a dead man. Because he had been wandering under the Naihe Bridge for too long, his soul had already suffered from the pain of wind and frost and was already numb.
Wu Xuanye could feel that the person in front of him was no longer human.
He let go of his hand and said in a cold voice: "Why are you waiting for me here to apologize to me?"
Wu Mubai said: "My only wish in this life is to see you again. Knowing that your life is not over, I will wait for you under the Naihe Bridge. I don't know how many years I have waited."
"Oh."
Wu Xuanye sneered: "Do you think I will forgive you if you do this?
I once regarded you as my only friend, but what about you? You deceived me, used me, and betrayed me.
You caused me to suffer five years of inhuman torture, you caused me to be sealed and became this monster that is neither human nor ghost, you caused me to..."
Wu Xuanye thought of Yun Xi again. He held his chest and glared at Wu Mubai: "It's all because of you that my life is so miserable."
Wu Mubai looked at him with guilt and said what he had wanted to say to him for a long time: "I'm sorry."
Wu Xuanye turned around and said, "What's the use of talking about this now?"
Wu Mubai said: "I know that I can't go back. Ever since I betrayed you, kidnapped Wen Qian and left Southern Xinjiang, I have been living in guilt and pain.
I got the freedom I wanted, and I got the girl I like.
I changed my name and moved to a high position, with great wealth and honor, but every night I dreamed about southern Xinjiang and our days in the Wu tribe.
I know nothing I can say can make up for the mistakes I made, but I just want to see you again and say sorry to you in person.
I don’t ask for your forgiveness, I only hope to atone for my sins.”
Wu Xuanye snorted coldly: "Atonement, how do you want to atone for it? Do you want to use your remaining soul? I don't need it."
Wu Mubai asked: "Don't you want to renew your relationship with Wen Qian?"
Wu Xuanye's face darkened: "I have already seen her."
Wu Mubai said: "I know, but your fate is broken, isn't it? Otherwise, why would you be here?"
Wu Xuanye lowered his eyes and said nothing, feeling sad.
Wu Mubai walked to the Sansheng Stone and said, "I have been wandering here for decades and heard a legend.
If you carve your name and the name of your sweetheart on the Three Lives Stone, you can be destined to be together for three lives and stay together forever."
Wu Xuanye looked at the clean Sansheng Stone and said, "But it's clean and has no name on it."
Wu Mubai nodded: "If you want to carve your name on this three-life stone, only soul bones can do it.
When a person dies, his or her soul remains, supported by the soul bone. If the soul bone is taken out and the soul is scattered, it will never be reincarnated again.
Therefore, no one has ever done this in the past few decades."
Wu Xuanye looked at him puzzled: "What do you mean?"
Wu Mubai smiled and said: "I will use my soul bones to repay what I owe you. May you get what you want and never leave her for the rest of your life."
