"She will never fall in love with me, again," there was a sad smile on Yue Lao's face, the last word lingered on the tip of his tongue like a piercing pain, just that he could no longer felt the pain, but only the numbness of the bitter after taste that came along with it. 

Minghao's hands trembled after hearing Yue Lao's story. Jun noticed. 

"Sword of Severence..." Minghao felt his blood running cold at the sound of his voice. He understood every word the elder had said. He knew that celestials should never fall in love with a mortal. He knew all these.
