Chapter 250 Find a Corpse

This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml

The soft whisper brought the injury and pain, which could not be expressed by words.

After Zi Yuanyue and Zhao saluted, Zhao took Zi Yuanyue to leave. When they just walked to the front of the door, they heard Jun Yeyan's soft whisper.

These two people paused their steps involuntarily. In their hearts, both of them felt a little grieved.

This was their Master who was always so proud and arrogant to the extreme! He was their Master who held the high authority in his hands and whose blood was so noble! But why did their Master make them feel that he was so lonely and desperate now?

Clenching his fists fiercely, Zhao strode forward again and left Jun Yeyan's room quickly.

Zi Yuanyue also followed him closely.

Seeing that Zhao and Zi Yuanyue had left, Jun Yeyan stared at the roof blankly. His golden pupils no longer darkened since Bai Aoxue left. There were some weird and mysterious lights in his eyes.

At this moment, it already became darker gradually. As long as he closed his eyes, what came to his heart and his mind was Bai Aoxue's last appearance when she fell down from the cliff.

Her smile was as bright as the red lotus in its prime. Her voice was clear and light. But they all fell apart in the next moment.

It seemed that as long as he closed his eyes, this whole thing would repeat incessantly, reminding him all the time that he lost the woman whom he loved most because of his incompetence!

"Come out." Jun Yeyan sighed gently. He still stared at the roof without blinking and said these words lightly.

There was no emotion in his words so that nobody could figure out what he was thinking on earth at this moment.

But in the blink of an eye, a weird and mysterious figure appeared in front of Jun Yeyan.

"Master." The man looked at Jun Yeyan calmly.

"Why don't you stay by Qi Liange's side?" Jun Yeyan didn't look at the man but asked as if he had already predicted this.

After the man heard Jun Yeyan's words, he paused. Then he said, "At this moment, he is on the cliff. Nobody is allowed to bother him. He also sent a lot of people to look for Princess."

After Jun Yeyan heard the man's words, he sneered coldly and said, "But for the fact that it is not the right time now, I must have killed him in person. Since he began to adore Xue, he cannot live anymore!"

After the man heard Jun Yeyan's words, he was startled, but he uttered no words.

"If he takes any action, inform me immediately." Jun Yeyan squinted at the man beside him and said indifferently.

The man nodded his head gently and said, "I, as a subordinate, know that."

"Huh… This sky seems to be dyed with blood. If Xue sees this, she will fall in love with it definitely…" Jun Yeyan looked at the clouds which seemed to be burned in the fire outside the window and said softly.

"Master, just set your mind at ease. Princess is such a good person that she will be blessed. She definitely will be safe and sound." The man said softly, but in his heart, he wasn't so sure. Nobody dared to imagine what would happen if a person fell down from such a high cliff.

Even if she was still alive, she would probably be disabled.

But now, he definitely could not tell Jun Yeyan his thoughts on this matter. As long as there was a glimmer of hope, they would try hard to look for her and look for the light of their Master.

Everyone knew clearly in the heart that the reason why their Master was so calm was that they had not found Bai Aoxue yet. He still cherished a lucky hope in his heart. But once his hope was broken, then it must a scene that none of them dared to imagine.

Bai Aoxue was a light, which shone on Jun Yeyan closely. If the light went out, then the darkness would appear again, covering this man again.

"Ju Xiao, you haven't lost it, haven't you? All of you haven't lost it. You don't know how I feel at this moment. Look at my hands. How I hate myself! Why couldn't I act faster? Why couldn't I act faster to grasp her?" Jun Yeyan raised his hands slowly. He looked at his own palms and said indifferently.

These words should have been painful and mournful. But in Ju Xiao's ears, there wasn't any feeling in his words.

Ju Xiao knew that it was not that he had no feelings, but that all his feelings had gone with Bai Aoxue from the moment when she fell down from the cliff.

"Even the pain of my heart being dug out violently is not as painful as this." Jun Yeyan covered his chest with one of his hands and said in a heavy and depressed voice.

"Master…" Ju Xiao was just about to say something to comfort him, but he was stopped by Jun Yeyan.

"Get out. Leave me alone." Jun Yeyan closed his eyes slowly, letting himself drowned in the darkness.

Ju Xiao looked at Jun Yeyan's appearance at this moment. He wanted to say something, but he stopped. Finally, he sighed softly and got out of the door.

While on this side, Zi Yuanyue, who left with Zhao, was worried about Bai Aoxue in her heart, so she asked involuntarily, "Zhao, what happened to Princess? Did something happen?"

After Zhao heard Zi Yuanyue's inquiry, he paused his steps and said, "Today, you go to the town to look for Nalan Youhong in the post house and ask him to bring all the maidservants of Princess here. I have something to tell them. At that time, I will tell you all."

After Zi Yuanyue heard Zhao's words, she didn't continue asking. Although she had some bad feelings in her heart, she still calmed down and said, "I, as a maidservant, know that. I am just about to go to the town to buy some medicine for Master."

Zhao nodded his head and said, "Be cautious on the way."

Zi Yuanyue nodded her head and went to prepare.

But Zhao stood still in situ. He clenched his fists tightly and looked at the sky which seemed to be dyed with blood. He was in a trance in his heart. He also saw the moment when Bai Aoxue fell down from the cliff. But he was so helpless as well, not to mention his Master. Even he felt so painful in his heart at this moment.

Thinking of the smiling and beautiful look of that woman when she was happy, Zhao remembered the tenderness that his Master carried around her. Zhao felt a little grieved in his heart.

If Bai Aoxue really could not be found, or she was really dead as the worst situation that they had thought of, then their Master would really be completely destroyed and doomed eternally.

Or, put it another way, this world would really be doomed eternally.

Looking at the sky which seemed to be dyed with blood, Qi Liange got up slowly. While in the distance, Chang Gui, who was waiting for him, also rode the carriage here respectfully.

"Emperor, let's return to the palace." Chang Gui looked at Qi Liange and said softly.

Qi Liange nodded his head and turned around to have a look at the cliff which was covered with ethereal mists again. Then he said, "Have you put that painting away?"

After Chang Gui heard Qi Liange's unreasoning question, he was a little puzzled in his heart, but then he recalled the painting that Bai Aoxue drew when she attended the banquet of the palace last time, so he answered in a hurry, "I, as a servant, have put it away. Emperor, I put it in the palace where you rest."

"Let's go. Go back to the palace." Qi Liange nodded his head and strode onto the carriage.

Chang Gui looked at Qi Liange. Although there was a downcast look in his eyes, there wasn't any desperation in his eyes. Chang Gui inevitably felt relieved a lot in his heart.

Although he didn't know why the emperor cared about that woman so much, as a servant, he knew what he should ask and what he should not ask because he had stayed by the deceased emperor's side for such a long period of time.

He didn't say more words. Chang Gui rode the carriage and returned to the Imperial Palace quickly.

While at the bottom of the cliff, people of the two sides were still seeking and searching urgently, without any dilatoriness.

"Li Xiao, come here." This shout made Li Xiao who was originally searching in the grass surprised in his heart. He hurriedly went in the direction of the voice. But after he walked a few steps, he paused his steps, and he actually didn't dare to go there.

Taking a deep breath, Li Xiao pushed all his guesses down in his heart and went there quickly.

"Ying Yi, did you find anything?" Li Xiao went to the dark-clothed man's side and asked nervously.

The man whose name was Ying Yi showed a section of the sleeve in his hand to Li Xiao.

"This is what I found in the trees." Ying Yi said and raised a section of red cloth in his hand.

After Li Xiao looked at it, his pupils shrank fiercely, and he quickly took the sleeve in Ying Yi's hand and observed it carefully through the slightly cold light.

"That's right. This is Princess's sleeve. This is absolutely Princess's sleeve! Right!" Li Xiao said excitedly.

There were many rays of light in his eyes. Because of this sleeve, the hope in his heart also increased a bit.

"Inform them and go on searching! Probably, Princess was saved by someone. This sleeve was found on a branch of a tree. Perhaps, Princess's sleeve was scratched by the branch when Princess was saved. Her clothes were scratched." Ying Yi looked at Li Xiao's excited face and analyzed in a heavy voice.

After Li Xiao heard Ying Yi's words, he also thought that his words made sense. He said in a heavy voice, "Keep searching! Don't let go of any trace!"

After saying this, these two people divided and acted respectively. While their fellows were informed one by one. Everyone became more excited and was inspired with enthusiasm because there was hope.

No matter how slim the hope was, as long as there was hope, they could definitely find Princess!

"I've found a person! I've found a person!" Somebody shouted violently, but this voice made people so excited at this moment!

Li Xiao quickly went to the place where people gradually gathered around. He urgently hoped in his heart that it was Bai Aoxue, who was still alive!

The mistress who could return to the side of his Master!

Each one of the Ten Dark Shadows had the same thought as Li Xiao.

All the way, they had seen clearly what Bai Aoxue had done for Jun Yeyan and Bai Aoxue's character. Such a woman was the most qualified person to match their Master in the world.

They had acknowledged Bai Aoxue at the bottom of their hearts, but they didn't expect that such a thing would happen to her.

Everybody blamed himself in the heart, but they all understood that blaming themselves would be of no help.

At present, what was the most important was to find Bai Aoxue. Whether confessing one's sin, or admitting one's fault, or revenging her… Everything could be solved after they found Bai Aoxue!

Li Xiao and others had a look at each other, and the crowd also gave way for them voluntarily. Li Xiao and others walked in quickly. They became more and more nervous in their hearts.

When they saw the corpse, their hearts sank fiercely.

The corpse they found was Mo Yilou, who had been dead for such a long period of time. He was definitely not the person they were looking for!

Mo Yilou opened his eyes wide with an unbelievable expression in his eyes. He didn't close his eyes when he died.

His stiff hands still made a gesture of grasping someone.

"Humph! It is really lucky for him to die in this way!" Ying Yi looked at Mo Yilou who had been dead and said reluctantly.

"It is very strange." Li Xiao looked at Mo Yilou's dead image and said in a heavy voice.

"How?" Ying Er looked at Li Xiao's serious look which was so rare at ordinary times and asked confusedly.

"Judging from his dead image, something must have happened before he died, and this made him shocked. So now, he shows an expression that he couldn't believe it at all. After he died, obviously, there are some traces showing that he was dragged by someone. Look at the dust on his front legs. He must have been dragged by someone."

After the Ten Dark Shadows heard Li Xiao's words, they all observed him carefully.

It was true. Just as Li Xiao said, before his death and after his death, Mo Yilou was too abnormal.

"Then what about Princess? Princess was dragged down by Mo Yilou. The action of Mo Yilou getting hurt was formed when he dragged Princess certainly. But he maintains this action now. Why is Princess gone?" Ying Yi asked anxiously.
