Chapter 249 Alive Or Not, the Person Must Be Found

This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml

All the people didn’t expect that Bai Aoxue would fall down from the cliff.

Below the cliff was Yanjiang. Even if Bai Aoxue fell down, she would be carried away by the river water. That was why Zhao was so anxious to send some people to search for her.

It was the best to find Bai Aoxue within the shortest time.

If not, he would be guilty of facing Jun Yeyan after he woke up.

Watching the river water of Yanjiang roll and flow in the valley full of clouds and mists, Zhao had too many uncertainties in his heart.

Even now, he dared not to imagine what reactions Jun Yeyan would have when he woke up, how he would feel, and what extreme things he would do.

He supported Jun Yeyan with Li Xiao and passed by Qi Liange, who was still stunned. Then he left the cliff slowly.

“Return to the stronghold. Since it is impossible for Master to leave the Nanyue Dynasty now, everything should be determined after Master wakes up. Ask Zi Yuanyue to come here quickly. Master’s poison still needs to be controlled with her medicine.” Watching Li Xiao, Zhao said calmly in a heavy voice.

Hearing the words of Zhao, Li Xiao had no objections and said nothing. He supported Jun Yeyan to get onto the carriage beside them, which had been prepared before, and then went to fulfill his task that was appointed by Zhao.

Searching for Princess and curing Master were both important and urgent.

Seeing that Zhao went far away with Jun Yeyan, Qi Liange didn’t ask anyone to stop them.

At this moment, he could remember nothing in his mind, but the look he saw in the end when Bai Aoxue fell down from the cliff.

Even when she was in such danger, she was still as unhurried, cold, and haughty as before.

But her smile which was peerlessly beautiful was just a sad and beautiful farewell in his eyes. He had never felt so much pain in his heart before as he felt at this moment.

He had never experienced such pain before. Maybe it was more painful than being put to death by dismembering the body.

Dismembering the body was painful just because of the pain of separating the skin from the flesh, but he felt painful just because of the pain of losing his beloved one. It seemed that a large part of his heart was hollowed, and the sound of his heart’s hollowness was heard when the cold wind blew over.

The cinnabar mole which was originally coquettish and pretty between the eyebrows darkened at this time, not so brilliant and dazzling as before.

When the nippy and cold wind howled over, Qi Liange’s hair was scattered. His long and thick jet-black hair poured down like splashing the ink, dancing in the wind and showing a feeling of despair.

“Brother…, Aoxue will be safe and sound, right?” Watching Qi Liange who lost his wits, Qi Muyuan was anxious and painful in her mind, asking in a tremulous voice.

She suffered a lot in her mind at this time. If Liushuang hadn’t saved her, Bai Aoxue wouldn’t have been in trouble, and she wouldn’t have fallen down from the cliff. Her life would not have been uncertain now!

It was her incompetence and carelessness that made Suxiao trapped and resulted in what happened now.

Thinking about this, Qi Muyuan could not help shedding tears which she had held back before.

“Brother…, it is all because of me. If Aoxue hadn’t asked Liushuang to save me, these things would not have happened to her now!” Qi Muyuan said sobbingly while looking at Qi Liange.

Hearing the words of Qi Muyuan, Qi Liange moved his mouth slightly with his bleak peach-blossom-like eyes blinking slowly.

“It is none of your business. Aoxue saved you not to make you blame yourself.” Qi Liange said in a low voice with some heavy tiredness in his words.

He had thought that he would possess her when he gained the country.

No matter how ignoble these ways were, he would be willing to try, only if she could stay with him.

But he didn’t expect that things would change like this just in several hours.

He had just lost his family, and it had not been a long time before his beloved woman was lost as well. Her every twinkle and smile could make his heart beat faster.

“Yu Wu, the general of the palace guards, listen to me! Now, dispatch the troops to search for Bai Aoxue along Yangjiang immediately. If she is alive, you must find her!” Qi Liange said in a deep and low voice with his fists clenched tightly.

He didn’t look so naive and immature at this moment as he once looked when he encountered Bai Aoxue. Having experienced life and death as well as the fickleness of human nature many times, he had changed a lot.

At this moment, he was exactly the monarch governing the world.

“Emperor…, what if Miss Bai is dead?” Yu Wu asked while looking at Qi Liange hesitantly.

Hearing the words of Yu Wu, Qi Liange turned around quickly and said while looking at Yu Wu with some coldness in his eyes, “Even if she is dead, I must see her corpse!”

Qi Liange’s cold and cruel look at this time made Yu Wu and Qi Muyuan shiver violently out of fear spontaneously.

Yu Wu answered in a deep and low voice and obeyed his order. He mobilized the troops with Qi Liange’s verbal instruction to rush to Yanjiang.

“Muyuan, you can go back first. I still want to stay here for one more while.” Qi Liange waved one of his sleeves and sat directly on the ground.

He didn’t care about the dust on the ground at all.

Watching Qi Liange’s lonely profile at this moment, Qi Muyuan felt a little painful in her mind.

If her brother hadn’t fallen in love with Aoxue or gone to the Chengxi Dynasty, then so many things wouldn’t have happened. Her brother wouldn’t have been troubled by his affections for Aoxue, and Aoxue’s life wouldn’t have been uncertain.

“Brother…” Qi Muyuan walked a step forward and hesitated for a while, not knowing what to say.

What could she ask? Or what could she say? All of this was arranged by fate, or rather, the destiny. Her brother was destined to go to the Chengxi Dynasty and meet Bai Aoxue who was indescribably beautiful and striking. He was destined to fall in love with her.

This was fate, and it was meant to be. Even if she asked, nothing would change.

“Brother, you should come back early. It is windy here, and I will go back to wait for the news.” Qi Muyuan took a few steps back and said gently, holding back what she had intended to ask.

Qi Liange nodded and did not say anything else.

He looked into the distance blankly.

Qi Muyuan no longer stayed here. She left the cliff slowly with the subordinates who were asked by Qi Liange to protect her.

She would return to wait for the news, no matter it was good or bad.

As the sound of footsteps behind him faded away, Qi Liange took his eyes back and said softly, “Aoxue, I know you will survive. This time the way you left is too resolute, but I still can’t just let you go.”

Such words firmly showed Qi Liange’s persistence. The fierce wind which howled by blew off his words in the air. On this side, Liushuang, who left quietly, had already got down from the cliff.

At the moment when he saw that Bai Aoxue fell down from the cliff, he seemed to hear the sound of his heart breaking up. He had expected that she would be in danger, but he didn’t expect that such a thing would happen to her.

The fiery-red clothes were just like a rising flame. He could do nothing but see her swallowed by it helplessly.

He had thought about strangling Qi Muyuan, but he believed that Qi Muyuan didn’t have any fault when he calmed down. He promised her to save such a woman who had nothing to do with him. Strictly speaking, it was his fault!

He was wrong to be softhearted for her and not to protect her well!

However, even so, he was still the calmest one. He believed that she would not die so easily. She had said that they would support each other in the future, and she would teach him some good gambling skills. How could she leave easily?

When others were still immersed in grief, anger, and pain, he was clear-minded.

Only when she was found after he got down from the cliff could he know whether Bai Aoxue was alive or not.

Thinking about this, he didn’t want to lose a second.

Getting down from the cliff, Liushuang searched for Bai Aoxue all the way while seeing that the river water of Yanjiang was rolling and surging violently. He was anxious and terrified in his mind.

He had never expected that he, a man who once feared nothing, was now afraid to find a cold corpse.

It was getting a little dark gradually, but Bai Aoxue was still not found. A glimmer of hope had risen in the heart of Liushuang. Maybe, she left?

Or maybe she was saved by others?

All of this was possible. He wouldn’t give up as long as there was a glimmer of hope!

From the distance, Liushuang saw a figure in the grass and felt suffocated immediately in his mind. He restrained his fear and walked over quickly.

Removing the weeds in the grass, he looked over, and his peach-blossom-like eyes seemed to have been dyed red with blood, which were pretty and coquettish.

Seeing that the body was lifeless, Liushuang clenched his fists tightly. If he had not done so, he would have been unable to control his trembling body.

At this moment, Jun Yeyan, who was brought back to the stronghold of the Nanyue Dynasty by Zhao and Li Xiao, woke up gradually.

Seeing that Jun Yeyan was still unconscious, Zhao asked in a heavy voice, “How’s Master?”

“The poison has corroded the heart, but now it is controlled well. Presumably, it is because Princess fed Master the medicine, and he will wake up soon.” Zi Yuanyue said slowly, admiring Bai Aoxue’s medical skill all the more in the mind.

Hearing that Bai Aoxue was mentioned by Zi Yuanyue, Zhao was nervous immediately in his mind. He was just about to tell Zi Yuanyue not to mention Bai Aoxue for the time being, while he met with Jun Yeyan’s cold, emotionless, narrow, and long phoenix-like eyes.

He was dazed, and there were noisy voices in his ears, but with concern. However, he didn’t want to wake up at this moment at all, because he always thought that he would lose something if he woke up.

But he was unclear about what he would lose on earth. Once thinking about it, he felt very painful in his heart.

Zhao’s concerned voice came into his ears with the voice of the young female who treated him as well as the word, “Princess”, which was mentioned by her.

Princess… His princess was Xue. Xue acted as a bait to protect him.

“What are you afraid of? We have made an appointment for the next life. Even if we fail to be together in this life, then we will be together in the next life. Right?”

“My husband…”

Her clear and ethereal voice was always fair-sounding in his ears, but it sounded a little regretful and bleak at this moment.

The beautiful figure which was unparalleled in red came to his mind again, burning his eyes.

Yes… Xue left him. Xue fell down from the cliff, but he couldn’t go to accompany her in the end.

Watching Jun Yeyan’s cold eyes, Zhao shivered a bit and took a few steps back spontaneously.

“Master! I am willing to be punished!” Zhao said calmly, kneeling on one knee.

Seeing that Zhao acted like this, Zi Yuanyue on the side was a little confused for a while and then turned around to look at Jun Yeyan timidly.

She always thought that Master, whom she saw today, was more lifeless than she had ever seen him before.

There was only the ruthless coldness left in his body as if he had lost all his vitality.

“Get out.” His deep, low, and hoarse voice was less soft than the voice which he used to speak in the ears of Bai Aoxue before.

Hearing the words of Jun Yeyan, Zhao shivered a bit and then said in a heavy voice, “I have sent the subordinates to search for Princess. I believe that the news will come soon. Master, now you need to have a quiet rest because only when you are well can you go to look for Princess…”

“I don’t want to repeat it for the third time! Get out!” Jun Yeyan didn’t look at Zhao, but his cold and gloomy voice made people feel terrified with a shudder of horror.

“You think that the world can’t work without me.”

“But… why should I bother to get the whole world without Xue?”
