Wei Feng also left the Gu Family Manor. Cang Luoyao's body was found by the manor's steward at the foot of the mountain.
With this departure, three more people were gone.
No one had expected that Cang Luoyao would harbor murderous intent towards Tang Yuyan. Her goal was to obtain the Rebirth Fruit, but she didn't know that the Rebirth Fruit was not actually with Tang Yuyan but with Duanmu You.
Gu Rongxue let out a soft sigh and said, "Sure enough, we still couldn't prevent it."
The others hadn't yet emerged from the grief of Tang Yuyan's departure and all remained silent.
Even Chang He, who usually seemed to be indifferent to everything, had his hawk - like eyes looking solemn at the moment.
Su Xiaoliu looked up at Zhong Fengyue beside her. Her beautiful diamond - shaped lips were tightly pursed, adding a touch of sorrow. On the other end, Mo Xin lowered her eyes and remained silent. Not far away, Chu Weixin stood quietly. The cold and proud man also seemed to be enveloped in a sense of stillness. Jiang Li, who was always a womanizer, leaned against the door. His star - like eyes were slightly dim. Duanmu You beside him gently closed her beautiful eyes. She was used to seeing life and death and wasn't as grief - stricken as the others.
At this moment, a subordinate rushed to the door in a hurry, lowered his head and said loudly, "Sir Rongxue, it's bad!"
Everyone looked up. Gu Rongxue frowned slightly. He stood up. His gorgeous purple robe trailed on the ground as he asked, "What's going on?"
The subordinate at the door paused for a moment and then lowered his voice a bit, saying, "The Ancient Immortal Elder and his disciple... were attacked secretly!"
Zhong Fengyue stood up abruptly. Through the white veil hat, her ink - black eyes were filled with shock.
"What?"
Chang He also turned to look, his hawk - like eyes fixed firmly on the subordinate.
The subordinate looked up slightly and said in a low voice, "Their carriage was pushed off the cliff..."
Mo Xin's face turned deathly pale and she staggered...
Su Xiaoliu clenched her hands so tightly that her nails dug painfully into her palms. She couldn't believe what had happened.
Just yesterday, everyone was fine. How could everything change so suddenly...
Chu Weixin pursed his lips and walked quickly over. Looking at Gu Rongxue with a furrowed brow, he said, "Could it be the people of the Alliance Leader?"
Chang He beside him suddenly said, "No, it can't be the people of the Alliance Leader. The Alliance Leader couldn't have detected our whereabouts so quickly." He looked up at the others who were staring at him. "Moreover, I'm sure that the person who killed Cang Luoyao and the one who plotted against the Ancient Immortal Elder are not the same person, but maybe they are from the same group."
Jiang Li looked at Chang He, nodded and said, "I think so too. The person who killed Cang Luoyao must have been after the Rebirth Fruit, while the one who plotted against the Ancient Immortal Elder may have had other motives."
Zhong Fengyue lowered her head and thought for a while. Her ink - black eyes flashed and she looked up and said, "The ones who plotted against the Ancient Immortal Elder must have been a group of people. With the Ancient Immortal Elder's martial arts skills, he couldn't have been defeated by a single opponent. But if there were too many of them, he might not have been able to defend himself and could have been taken advantage of."
Everyone had their own opinions. Mo Xin, whose face was deathly pale, suddenly stood up.
Her beautiful eyes were filled with endless panic, and the tear mole at the corner of her eye flickered...
Mo Xin's soft words shocked everyone.
"It's all the major families... All the major families have mobilized!"
Beside the Azure Water and Jade Pool, the attendants stood in a row. A graceful woman was sitting quietly on the ground. Her slender fingers gently stroked a white tiger as big as a man. The white tiger's eyes were like copper bells, and it looked lazy.
The woman had a pair of beautiful tiger - like eyes. Her long and thick eyelashes fluttered gently. She wore silver bells on her hands and feet. With a slight movement, the bells tinkled softly. She smiled at the white tiger in front of her and said, "The Heavenly Lord doesn't even come to see us. It's really too much..."
The white tiger raised its furry head, glanced at the woman with its copper - bell eyes, yawned, and then lowered its head again.
The woman let out a soft laugh. Her silver - bell - like crisp laughter drifted in the air.
Not far away, a handsome man in a gray robe walked over in a hurry. He lowered his head and whispered, "My Lady West Star Lord, it has been verified that the news of the Rebirth Fruit reappearing in the Jianghu is indeed true."
The beautiful tiger - like eyes looked at the gray - robed man. Her long and thick eyelashes fluttered. She leaned on the white tiger and said with a smile, "Chu Xun, don't you think this is interesting? The Rebirth Fruit that suddenly disappeared a few years ago has suddenly reappeared. If the people in the Jianghu knew about this, would they repeat the good show of a few years ago?"
Chu Xun looked up at the woman. His gray eyes were calm. He respectfully said, "The Heavenly Lord has ordered that this matter should not be made public. The Alliance Leader is also keeping silent about the Rebirth Fruit for the time being."
"Interesting." The woman smiled, sat up straight, blinked her tiger - like eyes, looked down at the lazy white tiger and said softly, "Let's go and see Yue'er."
Chu Xun looked up at the woman, hesitating to speak.
The yellow sand was flying all over the sky. Wild geese were returning in the desert. The border fortresses were so desolate. Distant beacons were in sight.
The boundless desert was filled with the soft sound of camel bells. The desolate sound of the horn came from the distant east. As far as one could see, there were only gobi deserts and winding sand slopes. There were few people everywhere, and the heat wave was burning.
Su Xiaoliu lowered her head and quietly looked at the silver hairpin in her hand. She gently turned the hairpin and her thoughts gradually drifted away.
Mo Xin walked over and handed a kettle of clear water to Su Xiaoliu, saying softly, "Xiaoliu, we need to cross this desert to get to the Heavenly Gift Manor. We can't carry much. Endure it. It will be better when we get out."
Su Xiaoliu looked up at Mo Xin, put away the silver hairpin, took the kettle and said with a smile, "Thank you, Mrs. Xiao."
Mo Xin nodded with a smile. Su Xiaoliu held the kettle and looked up at the vast desert.
In the boundless desert, Zhong Fengyue in a white robe was sitting quietly under the horse, holding a long sword. Under the white veil hat, her slightly pointed chin was exposed. Her rosy diamond - shaped lips were tightly pursed. She looked into the distance, lost in thought. Beside her, Gu Rongxue tied up his usually casually - loose black hair with a long rope. He walked to the bay horse and unloaded the heavy burdens on the horse one by one, piling them aside. Chu Weixin was filling the kettle with water. His long eyelashes cast a shadow, and his cold eyes were half - closed. Not far away, Jiang Li leaned against the horse, crossing his arms. He hooked up a suave smile and was talking to Duanmu You. Chang He, who remained silent, was setting up the tents. There were already several tents standing on the originally empty sand.
On the high sand slope, a row of camels slowly walked by. The yellow sand rose and blocked the sun. The sky was dark.
"Mrs. Xiao, come and help me pull the rope." Chang He suddenly looked up and said to Mo Xin sitting there.
Mo Xin nodded and said, "Okay." She stood up, lowered her head and said to Xiaoliu, "I'll go first. Stay here by yourself and don't go too far."
Su Xiaoliu looked up at Mo Xin and said with a smile, "I know."
After Mo Xin left, Su Xiaoliu lowered her head again.
Recently, a golden light always appeared in her dreams. For some reason, she always felt that she had forgotten something. When she woke up, her mind was full of red, a blazing red.
