As he watched his things fall to the ground, he turned his head to look at Bai Xiaosheng, "When you took me away from that damnable place, didn't you see where the Heart Ring was?"

Bai Xiaosheng's eyes suddenly opened wide, and said, "You're blaming me! If I didn't see that you were about to break through, how would I care about you? Moreover, that thing was something that you dropped yourself, what does it have to do with me? "

Shi Ling sighed helplessly. At that moment, he did not say anything else and directly walked over, thinking that he had just picked up his things. It shouldn't be too much. It should be fine if he did not provoke her.

However, just as Shi Ling approached, Yue Qingcheng suddenly said, "Don't try to persuade me anymore. I won't go back with you."

When he heard this, Shi Ling looked around and confirmed that no one was around before realizing that the other party might be talking to him. He immediately swallowed his saliva, walked up, and said, "Eh, what's inside. Actually, I …"

However, before Shi Ling could finish his words, Yue Qingcheng continued in a cold voice, "I've already said it, don't come anymore and try to persuade me! If you dare approach me again, I will directly jump down from here. "

As she spoke, her foot stepped off the cliff, and even her heart ring started to roll towards the cliff. Shi Ling was scared silly, and hurriedly said, "Wait, wait, we have something to say, don't be so impulsive."

Only at this moment did Yue Qingcheng withdraw her foot, and her storage ring stopped rolling. Seeing this, Shi Ling let out a sigh of relief, but at the same time, he secretly complained to himself, "I don't want to advise you, but I don't care what you want to do, I just want to retrieve my things, I've offended you!"

At this moment, Shi Ling truly wanted to cry. Moreover, he didn't dare to tell her that his Heart Ring was at her feet. If she really tried to snatch it away from him, he wouldn't be a match for her.

He then heard Yue Qingcheng say: "You can go back, I want to be by myself for a while."

Shi Ling's mouth twitched. Can I go back? So, Shi Ling coughed dryly and said, "Erm, um, I think beauties should be fine. There are some things that we can sit down, drink a cup of tea, chat, and relax a little. There's no need to just cry all the time and hang ourselves, is there?"

As he spoke, he attempted to walk towards Yue Qingcheng. However, at this moment, the beautiful face of Yue Qingcheng glared back at him, causing him to hastily retreat in fright. Not daring to approach her any further, he heard her say, "Are you saying that I'm causing trouble for no reason?"

Shi Ling hurriedly waved his hands and said, "No, no. As the proud daughter of heaven, why are you making trouble for me?"

Yue Qingcheng said again: "Then you mean that I should put on airs?"

Cold sweat dripped from Shi Ling's forehead as he said, "No, no. What I mean is, can we get down from that dangerous place first before we talk?"

Yue Qingcheng's beautiful eyes widened as she said, "What does standing here have to do with you? Who do you think you are? What right do you have to order me! "

She sighed helplessly and said, "Lady Princess, I just don't understand. As a member of the royal family, you enjoy the limitless prosperity of the world, so why would you do such a short-sighted thing? Is there something unpleasant going on? "

She gritted her teeth, as if she really wanted to find a place to vent all the unhappiness in her heart. At that moment, she glanced at Shi Ling, and realized that he was smiling at her, his eyes were very clear and clean, without any of the greed and possessiveness that others had. Finally, she gritted her teeth and said, "Enjoy being the most prosperous in the world?"

As she spoke to here, she scoffed and continued, "For a commoner like you, how could you know that the Royal Family is always in the protected prison. They do not have any freedom, so you simply do not have the means to experience it!"

Shi Ling pursed his lips and said, "Then let me be your friend!"

When Yue Qingcheng heard this, she was stunned for a moment. However, before she could stop Shi Ling, he had already arrived by her side, and sat down with his legs on the ground. Shi Ling looked down at the deep abyss below, then glanced at Yue Qingcheng and said:

"I know that I am just a small character who is not worthy to be your friend. However, I feel that everyone has the right to choose a friend. Even if you are a high and mighty princess of a country, isn't that the case as well?"

Since young, Yue Qingcheng had always been deeply rooted in the royal family's teachings, and had never had the concept of a friend. Beside her, there were basically those flattering faces, and everyone wore a fake mask, which made her feel very uncomfortable. However, after seeing Shi Ling, her heart was stirred up, and at that moment, she actually did not reject him, sitting together with Shi Ling, with her feet on the cliff, looking at the surrounding mountains in the distance.

At this moment, Shi Ling secretly took out his ring. While he was secretly delighted in his heart, he heard Yue Qingcheng suddenly ask, "Are you really willing to be my friend?"

Shi Ling's smile froze on his face. He cursed in his heart: "Are you for real?" This girl isn't toying with me, is she?

Although he couldn't be sure, the current Shi Ling could only think of a way to stabilize her before finding an opportunity to escape. He immediately said, "If you don't mind my humble birth, then I won't care about your background."

Yue Qingcheng lowered her head silently when she heard this. At this moment, Shi Ling squinted at her beautiful eyes, a tall nose, and a small pouting mouth. Together with her snow-white skin, it caused Shi Ling to mutter in his heart: "So beautiful!"

Only now did Shi Ling realize that he was sitting so close to the proud daughter of the first day of the Spirit Sword Sect, the dignified royal family member. The virgin fragrance of her body even unconsciously wafted to Shi Ling's nose.

At this moment, Yue Qingcheng stretched out a slender hand, tying her hair behind her ears, revealing an extremely exquisite side view. She then asked softly, "If your parents get angry at you for some matters, or stop loving you, what will you do?"

When Shi Ling heard this, he couldn't help but chuckle. "I really have no way to answer this question."

Yue Qingcheng's beautiful eyes looked at Shielin, who casually picked up a nearby rock and tossed it towards the mountain stream, saying, "That's because, when I was very young, my parents had already left me, so I don't remember what it felt like to be doted on by my parents."

Upon hearing these words, Yue Qingcheng was stunned for a moment. She stared straight at Shi Ling, and asked, "Do you want to hear my story?"

She said, "When I was very young, at that time, my parents and sister were both there. Father would lead me and my sister to chop firewood in the mountain valleys, and when we returned, we would have to cook cattle. Although our lives were tough, I felt that it was the happiest time of my life."

At this moment, Yue Qingcheng hugged her knees as she quietly listened. She then heard Shi Ling continue, "It wasn't until later, when my mother died from an illness, that everything changed. "My father stopped taking my sister and me out to chop firewood, and stopped telling us stories like before. He became irritable, drunk, and gambling until one day, after he owed my sister hundreds of gold coins in the casino, he ran away, leaving my sister and me at home, only to be caught by the creditor."

"At that time, I was still young and was unable to protect my sister, so they broke one of my legs. Later on, they sold me to a merchant family to be a servant, and I did it for seven years. I thought that I would have to spend my life as a servant, but I got to know the young master of that merchant family."

He treated us two like big brothers. He took care of us, and at that time, I also completely treated him as my big brother, and I felt that being able to get to know him was truly the greatest luck in my life.

When I went out once, I saw that my sister's bed was very messy, and there were faint traces of blood on it. At that time, I immediately panicked and asked the other servants to find out that the young master had entered my sister's room. During this period of time, I don't know what had happened, but after that, my sister had escaped, and my young master had also chased after her.

At that time, she was still standing on the cliff like you. At that time, she was holding a knife against her own neck, and there were still a lot of people that that young master brought with her, surrounding her and preventing her from escaping. When I wanted to go over to save her, it was already too late.

As Shi Ling spoke up to this point, he took a deep breath and clenched his fists against the back of his head. As Shi Ling spoke up to this point, he took a deep breath and clenched his fists against the back of his head.

Shi Ling continued, "Later on, when I wanted to fight with that beast with a human face, I was severely injured by his men and then thrown into the ravine to feed the wolves. However, my luck was pretty good. I accidentally ran into a cave and escaped this calamity."

"Later on, I heard that bastard joined the Spirit Sword Sect and in order to get revenge, I also came to the Spirit Sword Sect and started to train as if my life depended on it and did everything I could to make myself stronger. When I felt that my strength was about the same, I felt that I could take revenge now, so I challenged him in the sect's assessment.

He looked towards the distant horizon and said, "Although I no longer have a sense of belonging to this sect, it can't be denied that if it wasn't for this sect, I would have already died at the hands of that bastard. That bastard also had the strength of his own making, so for the next two years, he didn't have the energy to find trouble with me, but it's hard to say. At the very least, after he leaves seclusion, his strength will have climbed another level, and at that time, if I don't have the strength to fight against him …"

When Yue Qingcheng heard this, her expression became complicated. She looked at the young man in front of her and did not expect that despite having experienced so many things, he still maintained a normal attitude in front of outsiders. If he did not forget about this blood ocean, then he had completely hidden the deepest part of his heart.

Yue Qingcheng asked: "Then how did you come out of those dark years?"

Yue Qingcheng could already imagine the despair in Shi Ling's heart when he saw his only sister die. When he was demoted from a lofty official disciple to a servant, he was at a loss for the future.

He said, "When you are absolutely heartbroken and feel that the world has abandoned you, go watch the sunrise. It will let you know how warm the dawn is after you have endured the endless night."

Yue Qingcheng's gaze fell upon the rising sun. As she gazed at the scene of the light of dawn illuminating the land, her heart seemed to be filled with hope and longing for the future. She suddenly stood up and left without even a word of greeting.

Shi Ling did not mind this at all. At this moment, he slowly stood up as well. At this moment, Yue Qingcheng stopped in her tracks. With her back facing Shi Ling, she said, "Thank you."

Shi Ling was stunned for a moment. When he turned to look at Yue Qingcheng, she gave him a look and a smile. It was as if the most beautiful scenery in the world had lost all color at that moment.

However, before Shi Ling could say anything, Yue Qingcheng had already turned her head around. Not looking at Shi Ling anymore, she stomped her feet on the ground, and in the next moment, she actually flew up into the sky. Like a fairy above the nine heavens, her lily-white hands gently rose forward.

As he watched the beautiful figure gradually disappear into the distance, Shi Ling stood rooted to the spot. After a long while, he regained his senses. He looked down at his ring and heaved a sigh of relief.

However, at the same time, sounds of rustling could be heard from all around. Shi Ling looked around and saw a large group of guards suddenly appear, surrounding Shi Ling in an instant. There were also two young phoenixes that flew into the air, flying towards the direction Yue Qingcheng had left in.

As he looked at the people around him, he cursed in his heart. He saw a young man in standardized battle armor walking over, his face filled with a heroic spirit, giving off a sense of pressure. He glanced at the direction Yue Qingcheng had left in, and when he arrived in front of Shi Ling, he stretched out his hand and said, "Show me the ring you picked up earlier!"
