Itachi. [The name is sharp and pained, but it's followed only by silence and eventually a long resigned exhale.
There's no damage to be done by admitting the truth to him. He wouldn't even be the first to know after Ziggy had witnessed his memory in that stupid school. Still he hesitates. His stomach clenches at the thought and he looks away, his brow furrowed.
In the end, it's the irrevocable trust that he has in Itachi that wins out. And the knowledge that the asshole would probably put it together for himself eventually if he doesn't just tell him.]
I didn't lie. He went back there alone without backup. He didn't stand a chance. [He sighs again, the exhale shaky.]
By the time I got there, his golden core was already gone. There was nothing to be done. In the history of cultivation, no one had ever recovered a destroyed golden core.
But Wen Qing really was the best most brilliant doctor of our generation. The surgery only had a fifty percent success rate and I had to beg her for weeks but...when she performed it, it was perfect. It worked perfectly.
