After listening, a hint of awkwardness flashed across Ah Wu's face. "If he were to return to the Tang Palace, then I don't know if he would be able to complete the task His Majesty entrusted to him. Elder Brother is like this again …" "Mr. Ah Gou, I have something on, so I'll be leaving first. Please take good care of this Lady Yun Mu on behalf of your master."
After saying that, she turned around and left in a cool and unrestrained manner. However, when she looked at her figure, she seemed to leap towards the direction of Tang San's departure.
Ah Bian didn't think too much about it. In any case, the mission given by the Prince was just to ensure the safety of Cloudmist.
Now, although Yun Xu was sad, at least his safety was guaranteed. It would be inconvenient for him to follow them.
After some thought, he decided to report back to the prince. However, when he turned around, he saw Nan Si Yue, who had arrived in person, standing quietly outside the fishing village. He was facing the fishing village. Even though he couldn't see anything, his calm and peaceful expression made it seem as if he could see everything.
Ah Gou quickly ran over, tidied up his clothes that had been messed up during the fight, and respectfully stood behind Nan Si Yue.
Then, she followed his line of sight and looked into the fishing village.
— The corpse was lying on the floor, its expression and actions the same as before it died.
The old man who was knitting a fishing net, the man and woman who were holding a bowl of rice, and the innocent child, all had their eyes wide open and a rattle in their hands, all of them beaming with joy.
Who knew that they were already lifeless?
Because it was the winter solstice, no one had sailed yet.
This was the day when the people of Cantonese reunited.
From now on, they would be reunited forever …
The clouds were quiet, and her movements were swift: dragging people out, wiping the blood from their necks with her sleeve, closing their eyes for them, and arranging them in a position where they could lie still as if they were asleep.
The small tree dug beside him without a word. Shi Mu's movements were precise. In just a short while, he had dug a huge pit.
Then, he helped Yun Xu carry all those people into the pit and arranged them neatly. If they were family, they would be placed in one place and tied together with a red rope. In this way, they would be able to find each other in another world.
He might even be able to continue on with the reunion dinner that he had just finished.
While they were doing all this, they were all strangely silent. Apart from the jingling of the bell on Yun Xu's wrist and the sound of the shovel scraping the earth, there was only the sound of the wind blowing in the fading light of dawn.
"Did you notice that she was wearing a very strange bracelet?" Nan Si Yue suddenly said.
Ah Bian was stunned and answered awkwardly, "Please forgive this subordinate's stupidity …"
Nan Si Yue didn't say anything more. It was as if what she had said just now wasn't something she had said.
When they finished burying the tree, the sun had finally risen below the horizon.
Light radiated in all directions.
Clouds came out of the sea and stood straight up, looking at the sunrise in the east. That bright light shone in her eyes, illuminating everything.
Then, she quietly turned around and looked straight at Nan Shiyue, who was standing in front of her.
The sadness on her face was also thin, like a thin mist by the sea. It seemed to be there but not there, finally calming down.
An extremely strong sense of calm.
Unlike Nan Si Yue, his calmness was resolute indifference, indifference, and a hint of coldness.
"I want to see Ye Jia, I know you have a way to let me see him." She looked at him and said each word softly and firmly.
"Revenge?" Nan Si Yue's expression did not change as she asked indifferently.
Yun Xu nodded his head without hiding anything, "I can't let them die without knowing the reason. Even if I can't get my revenge, I must meet him once!"
Even if she did her best and simply threw a slap at him, even if she couldn't hurt anyone, she had to do something for them, for herself, for Tang San!
She didn't have the ability, neither did she have the power, she had nothing, but she definitely wasn't a coward!
