I'm not a drama god

at the same time.

If the water is inside the wall, on the other side.

A watchtower that stood atop the inner wall collapsed suddenly amidst a violent roar!

Fragments of the steel watchtower fell from the sky, and several soldiers screamed as they crashed to the ground and were smashed into pieces. Amidst the rising dust, an old woman with a cane shuffled forward.

“The sixth one…” A slight smile appeared on her wrinkled lips.

"It seems that I, the old lady, have won this bet."

roar--!!

Just as the old woman was leaning on her cane and staggering step by step toward the next watchtower, a deafening roar suddenly rang out.

The dust swirled wildly behind her, and a skeletal giant elephant had already crashed out. It didn't even see the frail old human woman; its massive feet seemed intent on crushing her into a pulp!

The old woman's gray hair danced in the wind. She loosened her cane, suddenly clenched her right arm, and raised it upwards...

Thump—!

Visible shockwaves raged outwards, and the skeletal giant elephant's feet instantly burst open with hideous cracks. It was as if it had been struck by some enormous force, its forelimbs uncontrollably rising upwards... before crashing to the ground.

The old woman still squinted her eyes harmlessly, as if she hadn't just overturned a seventh-tier calamity, but merely scratched an itch... She squatted down, supporting her waist, picked up her cane, and then continued to walk forward with a limp.

"Sigh... I'm getting old..."

She had only taken two steps when she suddenly seemed to realize something and turned to look in another direction.

Snap—

With a soft thud, a figure wearing a hoodie and a red baseball cap landed gently on a watchtower.

Chi Tong stood up unhurriedly. Behind him were the chaotic inner walls, and in front of him was the turbulent, disaster-stricken neighborhood. He met the old woman's gaze from afar, his eyes narrowing slightly.

"So, this is your target..."

A look of seriousness flashed across the old woman's brow, and veins bulged on her legs, as if she were ready to dodge the theft at any moment... In an instant, the atmosphere became tense.

"Understood, that makes things easier." Chi Tong chuckled.

The next second, he raised his hand and grabbed below him, activating the theft technique. The entire watchtower vanished into thin air in an instant... Immediately afterward, the sound of some huge object falling echoed from the ruins hundreds of meters away!

The old lady, who was already prepared for battle, suddenly froze on the spot.

Without saying a word, Chi Tong flew directly to the next watchtower at lightning speed.

Immediately afterwards, another watchtower vanished into thin air...

The old lady, Queen of Spades, was so angry when she saw this that she trembled with rage!

As she leaned on her cane and trudged forward, she kept muttering to herself:

"These young people only know how to bully the elderly because they can't walk... The world is going to the dogs, it's getting worse and worse..."

……

The roar of battle echoed in the distance.

The Ruoshui Guard, the Calamity, the Twilight Society, the Fire Usurper, and other forces have completely mixed together, turning the entire inner wall into a mess... While most of the high-level Calamities were drawn to the melee, the district actually quieted down.

"My lord!"

A figure rushed into the room and, upon seeing the extremely weak Marquis Wei lying on the bed, immediately became extremely anxious. "My lord, how are you?!"

Lord Wei gazed silently out the window at the Ruoshui Prison, which was now mostly in ruins, his expression filled with complex emotions.

Upon hearing Jing Si's voice, he slowly turned his head, seemingly somewhat surprised:

"Jing Si? Why didn't you go on the interdimensional train with them?"

“My lord, I’m worried about you.” Jing Si looked at Lord Wei with concern. “You are so weak, you still need someone to take care of you… I’ll go with you, my lord.”

Lord Wei shook his head:

"You should leave now... I'm not leaving."

"Not leaving?" Jing Si was taken aback, then seemed to realize something, her face growing even paler.

"No... how can you not leave? You are the leader of the [Prophet], the most powerful diviner in the last hundred years. Even His Majesty has personally issued an edict ordering you to return to the Chengtian Dynasty immediately to report back..."

"Aren't you the one who respects that emperor the most? Are you going to disobey the imperial decree?"

"Disobey the imperial decree... then so be it," Lord Wei said calmly.

"Given my current condition, even if I went elsewhere, I probably wouldn't live long... I grew up in Ruoshui and have already dedicated everything to this place."

"The old tree is deeply rooted, connected to the earth. I have no other wish but to return to my roots when I fall..."

"His Majesty is a wise ruler; he will understand."

Jing Si stared blankly at the ruins, at the old and lonely figure, speechless for a long time.

After a long silence, he walked straight behind Lord Wei:

"Then I won't leave either."

“My lord, wherever you go, I will go... If you don’t leave, I will stay and keep you company.”

"Don't be ridiculous." Lord Wei frowned, turned to look at Jing Si, his gaze incredibly complex, as if trying to imprint his appearance in his heart. "I have never married in my life, and you are my only adopted son... After you go to Chengtian, they will take good care of you."

"But……"

"No buts." Lord Wei's voice was icy cold. "Jing Si, are you not even listening to me anymore?"

Jing Si bit her lip, like a child who had made a mistake, and answered after a long while:

"My lord..."

“You are the best person I have ever met, and the most amazing person I have ever met… I just don’t want… I don’t want you to die in Ruoshui Prison like this… People outside don’t even know what you have sacrificed for Ruoshui Prison.”

"Why should I, Marquis Wei, need others to judge my life?" Marquis Wei shook his head.

“Go, Jingsi, be good… if you still consider me a marquis, or… consider me a father.”

Jing Si clenched his fists tightly.

He took a deep breath, and finally, as if he had made up his mind, he knelt down with a thud and kowtowed several times to Lord Wei.

"Alright...then I'll be going, Father."

Upon hearing the last two words, a faint smile appeared on Lord Wei's lips. He didn't turn back, but simply sat by the window, waving goodbye.

Jing Si stood up and walked towards the door.

"Respectfully consider."

Just then, the Marquis's voice rang out again.

Jing Si suddenly stopped.

"Remember this... Ruoshui has never been a prison. Living here, dying here, is not something to be ashamed of." The aged figure spoke calmly by the window.

"Perhaps it's been too long, and everyone has already forgotten..."

"a long long time ago……"

"This place is called the 'Ruoshui Boundary'."
