"He will die in one year," Chen Yunji replied.
This answer did not give Xiao Jinsheng any sense of relief.
"Can you speak more considerately?" Noticing Xiao Jinsheng's low spirits, Li questioned Chen Yunji.
Chen Yunji looked puzzled. "I'm just stating the facts."
"There's still a year left; we can try to do something," Que Zelian reassured Xiao Jinsheng.
"But why does he want me to safeguard his heart?" Xiao Jinsheng asked, confused.
"He only trusts you. Without his heart, his superpower has already dropped to Ten Stars. With an incomplete heart, he won't be able to rise to Twelve Stars within a year. This is also a way for him to protect his life," Chen Yunji explained truthfully.
