That was kinda cute... too bad there were no mutual feelings. And YT and BF... I thought they were happy.. But no... why does MY have to break up all the couples like this TT^TT my lord... Why the heck did JS even bring this up?? The sect wasn't doing anything but trying to live their lives sigh
ReplyDeleteMany thanks

ReplyDeleteGreat post thankk you
ReplyDeleteDid she never learn about her sect brother Nian? He took out a group of 30 to scout an escape plan and never returned. The bugs couldn’t save them
