Even though the cliff was a hundred thousand meters high, Chu Qinghuan had still thought of a way out. She let go of Huangfu Shu's hand, possibly because she did not want to owe him anything. She, Chu Qinghuan, had clearly distinguished gratitude and grudges, and could avenge her grudges and repay her kindness. Furthermore, how could Huangfu Shu abandon the handsome Chu Jinxiu to protect her car?
However, just as she was about to use the sheer cliff's momentum to cushion her descent, a silver light flashed before her eyes and she was suddenly embraced in his embrace.
"Next time, if you act on your own, I will spank you."
Chu Qinghuan was just about to refute her, but then she saw her devastatingly beautiful face pressed against him, and in the next moment, her lips that were as thin as a knife fell on her.
It was like a peerless painter detailing her lips in an unprecedented warmth, to the point that Chu Qinghuan even forgot that she was still falling.
After a deep kiss, Ji Fengye said with a faint smile, "Be careful."
In the depths of the cliff, the closer they got to the bottom, the more misty they became. It was just that Chu Qinghuan realized that the person in front of her had a very clear appearance, to the point she couldn't help but ask, "Why?"
Why? With his skill, the cliff didn't seem to be able to trouble him. However, the person he was holding in his arms only made it worse. While borrowing force, his dark golden dagger had left a long scratch on the cliff but couldn't penetrate half an inch further!
Sparks flew in all directions from the sword tip to the cliff, but they were unable to stop the two's descent. Chu Qinghuan could not help but open her mouth: "Let go of me." This time, she really miscalculated.
Ji Fengye, however, did not mind at all. He smiled enchantingly: "Does this general understand that my Second Miss is doing this for our general's sake?"
Their bodies were covered in fog and it was impossible to see what was happening. Perhaps in the next second, they would fall to the bottom of the cliff. Perhaps the bottom of the cliff was still far away …
Chu Qinghuan did not answer, she only wrapped his arm around her arm tighter, "Even if I am to die, I will take away those I want with me." With the experience of missing a horse, he definitely wouldn't let go this time!
Chu Qinghuan wanted to ask, that willow branch hairpin, that unfathomable help, that act of scouting out the Prime Minister's house, what exactly was the matter between them that caused Ji Fengye to act in such a way …
Before she could think it through, the piercing sound of breaking gold and jade suddenly came from beside her ear. Chu Qinghuan felt that the falling sound had become even more intense, and in the next moment, she heard a stuffy groan.
Ji Fengye was still being embraced in his arms, tightly holding onto him like an iron arm. However, a trace of blood leaked out of the corner of his mouth as his face paled.
"Ji Fengye, what's wrong?"
She tried to struggle free in a flurry, but her body was still lying on his chest. His smile was bleak, and blood flowed from the corner of his lips down his neck, soaking into the ground. "This, this is you …" "The first time..."
She tried to get up again, afraid that she would worsen the situation for him. However, this time, her metal arm was also half-knocked out, allowing her to struggle free without any obstruction.
Chu Qinghuan was even more shocked, she kneeled there and didn't dare to check on Ji Fengye's breath.
The words that her Master had once said to her echoed in her ears: A dead man is like a lamp being extinguished. How can you expect a extinguished lamp to bring light? Even the most exceptional cultivator would feel the same way.
Ji Fengye, died just like that?
The cliff was low, and Chu Qinghuan was unable to recover from it for a long time. However, she did not know that the entire Lingyin Temple was in complete disorder …
"Go find her! She can't die just like that!"
Huangfu Jing was no longer gentle and refined, the guards by his side did not say a word. This time, the three princes didn't bring many guards with them when they came to Lingyin Temple, and now that there were only a few guards left to search for traces of the eight thousand year old and Second Miss Chu s, he was the only one left with all the princes.
"Don't worry, big brother. Tutor's martial arts are superb. Nothing will happen to him." Huangfu Yu consoled his in a low voice. After hearing what he said, Huangfu Shu, who was lying on the bed, suddenly raised his head, and then slowly lowered his eyes.
Huangfu Jing was startled when he heard it, and immediately saw the Monk Hong Yi and the Profound Spirit Grandmaster coming over together.
"Master, is there any news about Tutor and Second Miss Chu?" Not only their bodyguards, even the monks with Lingyin Temple had all gone to the bottom of the cliff to search for Ji Fengye and Chu Qinghuan, but in the past two days, there wasn't the slightest movement.
The bottom of the cliff had almost been turned over, but it was like an old house that had been covered in dust for many years.
The Lingyin Temple host, the Profound Spirit Grandmaster, shook his head lightly, "Amitabha, my two benefactors, the two of you are blessed by the Buddha."
On the side, Monk Hong Yi didn't say a single word.
After Huangfu Jing obtained such an painless answer, he felt even more anxious. Seeing his own bodyguards rush over, he couldn't help but hurriedly go forward to welcome them. "How is it, did you find her … "Us?"
The guard kneeled down on one knee, his voice hoarse. "Reporting to Your Highness, the lowly subordinates were searching all the way down along the lake at the bottom of the cliff. In the end, they found this about a hundred miles away."
He handed over both hands, and saw that it was a handkerchief stained with blood, and on it was embroidered a stalk of Cultivation Bamboo. Huangfu Jing immediately grabbed it, and said, "Then why aren't you looking for it yet!"
The guard had never seen Huangfu Jing lose his composure like this before, when he heard him, he lowered his head and spoke in a low voice, "There is a three hundred meter waterfall, and beyond it is the Minjiang River."
Minjiang River!
The three dangers of the Minjiang River were endless reefs and swift water currents. Even travelling was extremely dangerous, needless to say, humans!
Huangfu Jing's face instantly paled and he staggered. If not for Huangfu Yu's quick support, he probably would have fallen down to the ground …
"Then, big brother, how about we send the news back now?"
To Huangfu Yu, Chu Qinghuan's death was not important, it was just that Ji Fengye was an important figure. The Royal Father had doted on him greatly now, and in these two days, they had been concealing information. Now, no matter how much they tried to hide it, they would probably not be able to hide it from Emperor Xuanwu.
There were even some that led to the ocean. If they did not increase the number of people to search, then it was possible that Great Zhou's eight thousand years of age would cause no one to appear, and even their corpses to disappear. By then, wouldn't Imperial Guards overturn the heavens?
Huangfu Jing did not have any reaction, as if he had lost his soul. Huangfu Yu could not help but sigh, and looked at the bedridden Huangfu Shu as if seeking help. "Third Brother, I …"
"It's not convenient for me to go down the mountain in this situation. Since Big Brother is acting like this, I'll have to trouble you to personally report to Royal Father. You have to find a corpse of eight thousand years old!"
After he finished speaking, Huangfu Shu suddenly coughed out a mouthful of blood, and that blood was hanging at the corner of his mouth. Originally, Huangfu Yu wanted to reject it, but he had no choice but to nod his head and agree.
The situation was urgent, so Huangfu Yu arranged a few guards and left. Huangfu Jing still looked muddleheaded, but the Nanny Lin who came to inquire about the situation couldn't help but be a little worried. Looking at the bedridden Huangfu Shu's expression, his heart was even more terrified, and when he heard the news of Ji Fengye and Second Miss's "death", his body trembled, and he was unable to stand up straight for a long while.
After Chu Qinghuan fell off the cliff, the four misses were all guarding the buddhist hall as they chanted their prayers in unison. However, everyone had a bit of sincerity in their words, but it was hard to say.
Seeing the soulless Nanny Lin almost tripping over the doorstep when she returned, a light flashed in Chu Changxi's eyes, and she immediately lowered her head.
"Eldest Miss, Second Miss, she … She's gone! "
"Impossible!" Chu Jinfu suddenly stood up, pointed at Nanny Lin and said: "Nanny is lying, how could Second Elder Sister do that?" As she spoke, her eyes filled with tears. It was obvious that she believed seventy percent of it.
"Second Elder Sister won't, won't …"
Chu Jinfu's body was powerless as she was being carried by Si Qi. Seeing this, Chu Jinxiu could not help but comfort her softly: "Maybe it's just a rumor, my second sister's fortune is great, with the protection of Old Mistress, I will definitely return safely."
"Elder sister, should we report this news to Old Mistress?" Chu Changxi lightly pulled on Chu Jinxiu's sleeves, the corners of her eyes filled with undisguised joy. She really did not think that she was only planning to ruin Chu Qinghuan's reputation, but now that Chu Qinghuan had fallen off a cliff and died, it was truly a heavenly good news!
Chu Jinxiu looked at her, her eyes full of blame and pain. She looked at Nanny Lin and said: Old Mistress has always doted on second sister, now that Fifth Sister is like this, why don't I go tell him?
Ever since he heard the news of Chu Qinghuan falling off the cliff, the Old Mistress had always locked himself within the small buddhist hall. Normally, he only served the Nanny Lin, and even Chu Jinfu had never once seen him.
Nanny Lin knew about Old Mistress's temper. In the end, she nodded and said: "Then I'll be troubling you."
's eyes were pierced by the candlelight. He saw the Old Mistress sitting on a praying mat with her back facing her, and only the sound of the prayer beads turning could be heard in the little buddhist hall.
"Old Mistress, I received news just now …" Chu Jinxiu's voice was choked, her eyes became moist, the entire room was lit up with candles, "I'm afraid second sister is not in a good situation."
"If my second sister can return safely, I believe that Chu Jinxiu will lose ten years of her life to thank the Buddha for everything she has done."
Hearing that, Old Mistress glanced at her, and saw Chu Jinxiu slowly kowtowing, her pure jade forehead pressing onto the granite floor.
"Old Mistress, my grandson's daughter said that Big Sis loves us the most. However, these ten years of life, isn't the gift too heavy? I'm afraid Qing Huan won't be able to accept it."
A voice rang out. Chu Jinxiu suddenly straightened her back, but there was no one else in the small buddhist hall. The Old Mistress at the side remained calm and collected, as if she was in meditation, as if she had not heard anything.
"Are you a human or a ghost?" Why did she hear Chu Qinghuan's voice? Wasn't she already dead? She fell off the cliff with the demon that was eight thousand years old?
Qing Yue's voice suddenly rang out with a smile that was like silver bells. "Of course I'm the person that elder sister exchanged ten years of lifespan for. Why don't elder sister recognize Qing Huan?"
No! Chu Jinxiu looked around, but there was still no sign of Chu Qinghuan. She looked at Nanny Lin, only to see him looking at her with a strange look, her eyes were filled with anger: "What are humans and ghosts, why are you being so presumptuous in front of Buddha?"
Chu Jinxiu suddenly raised her head, only to see the benevolent Bodhisattva smiling, with a strange expression, as though he was looking at Chu Qinghuan.
"Ghosts!" First Beauty in Capital, whose words and actions were always the role models for court ladies in the capital, rushed out of the small buddhist hall like crazy all the way without hearing a single sigh from the buddhist hall.
"Don't worry Old Mistress, Prince's actions are just to lure the snake out of its cave, if not, it might hinder the Prime Minister's reputation."
Old Mistress, who was kneeling on a praying mat, nodded helplessly. "Buddha bless me."
