Under the attacks of fire and wind, the warm color of the girl’s oval shaped face was covered with small red lines, both dazzling and sparkling. Suo Jia knew that these lines would eventually become wrinkles, later on cracking open to reveal the tender flesh underneath. Once that time arrives, they will have to hide within their cloaks forever!
Historically, fire-wind dual element warriors have low assessments; their tempers were impatient and explosive, and the slightest offense aggravates them into killing people. In reality, this is directly related to the fact that they have to damage their appearances. For a girl as delicate as a flower and as precious as jade, seeing her sweet and charming appearance becoming creased and cracked bit by bit causes her to build up feelings of resentment. How can an ordinary person imagine this!
While thinking, Suo Jia sighed deeply. Seeing this, the red clad girl’s heart raced. She knew that Suo Jia’s decision would affect the second lives of all 35 of them. To them, their second lives were even more precious than their first!
Swallowing her saliva with difficulty, the girl said earnestly: “I know that the money we are giving you is too little, however we don’t have any money. You should also know that the school gives us 1 gold as lunch money to us fire-wind warriors. Between the 35 of us, if we each save 30 silver every day, then we can only gather together about 10 gold. We also want to squeeze out a bit more, but if we don’t eat our meals, there is no way we’d have enough energy to complete our frequent training!”
“Ai…” Sighing, Suo Jia helplessly looked at the red clad girl and replied: “I sympathize with your situation, however my own situation is not any better than yours. My mother and I live in a dark and damp room not even 20 square meters large, and my mother is also ill!”
Speaking up to that point, Suo Jia lifted his head and helplessly said: “I also really want to help you girls, but I need to attend classes. My time after school lets out is very limited and… a heart that takes pity on others will not help bring food to the table.”
Disappointed, the red clad girl’s eyes began to redden. She knew that her request was too naive. In this world, nobody has an easy life. Anyone could feel pity on others, but feelings of pity could not help bring food to the table. At times where Suo Jia could not even properly care for himself, he did not have the power to pity them.
Disappointingly handing over a gold coin, the red clad girl dejectedly walked out of the room. As soon as she left the tent, she was met directly with 35 pairs of awaiting eyes. Looking at her gathered sisters, the red clad girl sorrowfully shook her head.
