"General Ji, be careful!" Ji Yeliu was scouting ahead while Song Jinyu reminded him. After all, he was Yan Fei's elder brother. She still remembered that it was in the blessed land that Yan Fei was seriously injured and then easily killed by Ouyang Jinse.
Every time she thought about it, her heart still ached.
Ji Yeliu smiled faintly. "Princess, don't worry!"
Ming Ruyi was coldly fanning himself. Seeing Song Jinyu looking a bit uncomfortable, he assumed there was something going on between the two of them and felt a bit dissatisfied. His phoenix eyes darted back and forth between them. Finally, unable to hold back, he stepped forward, trying to get in between them.
Unexpectedly, Rong Shuang'er suddenly grabbed him. "My lord... be careful!"
Just as everyone was preoccupied with their own thoughts, a huge rumbling sound suddenly came from underground. There had been no such crisis the last time they came. This time, it was even more dangerous than before.
Everyone could no longer stand steadily and could only try to find a safe place. Unexpectedly, since Ji Yeliu was at the front, he was the first to fall after the ground caved in.
Song Jinyu was quick - witted and tried to grab him. She failed to catch the corner of his clothes. Vaguely, she remembered how Yan Fei had desperately saved her and got seriously injured. Now, she was also risking her life to save Ji Yeliu. For no other reason, Song Jinyu didn't want to see the tragedy of Yan Fei happen again.
Ming Ruyi rushed forward like a madman. Watching Song Jinyu sink bit by bit, he threw out his folding fan, trying to give her a glimmer of hope, but it was in vain. Song Jinyu followed Ji Yeliu down. Zhong Yuanliu and the others barely managed to grab the corner of her clothes, but... the ground was caving in too fast!
Soon, she and Ji Yeliu disappeared from sight.
Ming Ruyi gritted his teeth and jumped down too! Rong Shuang'er was screaming heart - rendingly, but he could no longer hear her.
After Song Jinyu landed, she found that although the ground had caved in quickly, it seemed to have taken them to another illusion.
Now, she was smiling bitterly. Not only could she not save Zhongli Mingye, but she also failed to save Ji Yeliu. It turned out that she was so useless.
She sat down, hugging her knees alone. Recalling the past, as she grew up, she had really been constantly losing, losing again.
The mother she loved had died miserably.
The master she loved had died miserably.
The Yan Fei she loved had died miserably.
Zhongli Mingye, the one she loved the most and wanted to spend her whole life with, was also missing.
At this moment, Song Jinyu's mood had hit rock bottom. Now, because of looking for Zhongli Mingye, she had also harmed Yan Fei's elder brother.
Before she fell, she vaguely heard Ming Ruyi calling her name.
Presumably, Ming Ruyi was also missing?
In the past, Zhongli Mingye had said that she was the reincarnation of the King of Hell. Presumably, she was really haunted by bad luck.
As she was thinking, tears rolled down her cheeks. Her mind was in a complete mess. Suddenly, it seemed that someone was patting her on the shoulder.
Looking up, she saw Ji Yeliu!
She quickly stood up. "Are you okay?"
Ji Yeliu smiled. "So it turns out that you, Jinyu, would cry for me!" As if seeing Yan Fei, Song Jinyu couldn't hold back anymore and hugged him tightly. "You're okay! That's great..." God knows how long she had felt guilty because of Yan Fei's death.
Startled by her sudden hug, Ji Yeliu was at a loss. He didn't know where to put his hands and could only pat her stiffly.
Ming Ruyi staggered over and saw them hugging each other. His face instantly changed. Afraid that Song Jinyu's reputation would be affected, Ji Yeliu had to push her away.
The atmosphere turned cold. Song Jinyu also knew that she had overreacted just now and apologized to Ji Yeliu. Ming Ruyi was seething inside.
Forcing himself to hold back his anger, he walked straight up to Song Jinyu. "Are you okay?"
Song Jinyu naturally knew that Ming Ruyi had jumped down for her sake. "Thank you, Uncle Huang!"
She was so intimate with Ji Yeliu but polite and distant to him. Song Jinyu, you're really something!
Unable to vent his anger, he glared at her fiercely. Unable to stand it anymore, Ji Yeliu was about to pull her away.
Unexpectedly, Ming Ruyi suddenly attacked. Ji Yeliu had to deal with him in a hurry. "How dare you covet the princess of the royal family!"
Ji Yeliu knew that Ming Ruyi had misunderstood him. He didn't dare to be careless and could only cope clumsily.
Song Jinyu had a headache. "Stop arguing!"
"Ming Ruyi!"
A sharp rebuke made him stop. Ming Ruyi was extremely angry. He didn't know why he was so out of control and couldn't bear to see Song Jinyu in another man's arms.
He said harshly, "Mingye isn't dead yet. Are you already falling in love with someone else?" After saying that, he wanted to bite off his own tongue in regret.
But Song Jinyu didn't pay attention to his anger. She just whispered, "I'm sorry!"
This apology was for poisoning him and also for his repeated efforts to save her. Ming Ruyi said no more and strode forward angrily!
The three of them continued to move forward. Song Jinyu had been here before and naturally knew that this was a true blessed land. As long as they entered the blessed land, there would be no other danger except for the kirin.
Zhong Yuanliu, Niaoniao and the others successively came from the ground to the underground.
When they met again, they were already at the entrance of the kirin cave.
Song Jinyu picked up the torn pieces of the robe on the ground. It was exactly the same fabric as Zhongli Mingye's. Her hands trembled slightly.
Her heart sank to the bottom. Had he fought with the fire kirin?
Where was he? Was he alive or dead, or seriously injured?
Although she knew that his martial arts were excellent, he was, after all, a prince.
Afraid that she would think too much, Rong Shuang'er comforted her. "The prince is a lucky man. Presumably, he'll be fine." Since Ming Ruyi had risked his life to save Song Jinyu, Rong Shuang'er's heart had completely broken!
But she also felt sorry for Song Jinyu. If something happened to Zhongli Mingye, she was sure that Song Jinyu wouldn't want to live alone.
So, she held Song Jinyu's hand, hoping to make her feel better.
"My lord, this way is clear..." That day, after Zhongli Mingye left the blessed land, he was picked up by Xiao Xueyi of the Tingran Pavilion.
"Thank you, Pavilion Master, for saving my life!"
Zhongli Mingye casually picked a flower. His face changed slightly because he had just learned the news that Song Jinyu had left the capital.
After leaving the blessed land, the first thing he did was to contact his shadow guards. He sent a message to the capital. Zhongli Mingye knew that Song Jinyu would definitely look for him.
Now, he had a new lease on life, but his beloved little princess was missing.
The news from the capital also said that the King of Zhongzhou had also gone to Yanqiu.
The intentions of this uncle of his were becoming more and more obvious!
"You should recuperate first. Xueyi will do his best to find the princess!" Xiao Xueyi vowed. He really admired this prince.
He had staged a grand play himself, not only making the emperor feel heart - ache, confusing the people in the palace, but also clearing away all the suspicions.
If nothing unexpected happened, the King of Zhongzhou's following might be the princess's idea.
This couple was destined to aspire to rule the world!
Zhongli Mingye was becoming more and more worried. He only hated that his timing had been a bit off, which had prevented Song Jinyu from getting the news from the shadow guards in time.
Now, she was missing.
What should he do? Although the shadow guards around her and Ming Ruyi were all top - notch experts,
without him by her side, he was afraid that Song Jinyu would be extremely worried!
