Later on, I heard from the old folks in Loulan.
Luo Qiu left Loulan, and for the next twenty years, she never returned.
The chieftain of Loulan, who had already conquered most of Ruoqiang, started to decline after a certain day. Subsequently, Loulan's army was largely recalled.
They no longer attacked other countries.
Besides that, before leaving, Luo Qiu sent Ye Qingluan back to Ruoqiang.
It was said that when she was releasing Ye Qingluan in Songbei, a limping man came to pick her up.
After Luo Qiu knelt to bid farewell to them, she completely disappeared.
From then on, no one ever heard of Luo Qiu again.
Someone once saw the figure of a woman in black veil beside the Cannibal Lake. The old folks said that the woman was extremely beautiful, with eyes full of autumn charm.
But beauty was always fated to be ill - starred.
A fisherman wanted to step forward and ask the woman why she was there.
But the woman didn't even turn her head.
She leaped into the lake.
From then on, no one ever saw that woman again.
Later, someone said that the woman was the well - known Luo Qiu in the jianghu.
Hundun also rushed over.
It sensed the disappearance of its master. When it knelt beside the Cannibal Lake, all it saw was the calm lake waves.
After that, Hundun also disappeared.
A hundred years later, on one night, Moyan was guided by a mysterious person. He took his newly - raised adopted daughter, as well as the cavalry and secret guards he had painstakingly trained, and disappeared together.
Loulan got a new master.
Ruoqiang returned to its former tranquility.
Gu Hanxun of Cangwu Kingdom became a monk after his grandson was born.
Thanks to the diligent governance of the regent Xia Qingyan, Hailing Kingdom developed better and better.
The women in Tianli Kingdom still cherished their hair as before, longing to meet their Mr. Right.
The Dongfang Clan in Dongzhou expanded rapidly, with descendants all over. Their influence spread to every corner of the Nine Provinces.
Under the protection of Yan Ruyu before she left, the Dongze Wilderness became more and more populous, with prosperous families. After the death of the first emperor, the throne was always passed on to the most capable one.
The system of abdication continued in the Dongze Wilderness.
In addition, at the foot of Qingyun Peak, in a paradise full of blooming peach blossoms and fragrant flowers, because of the long - term nourishment and protection of Yan Ruyu's spiritual power, the people in Qingyun Kingdom became more and more handsome, and their national strength became stronger and stronger.
Everything seemed to be developing in the best direction.
If Zhao Shuning had still been alive for the next few hundred years, she would probably have been happy to see such a scene.
But the final result was not like this.
Let's go back in time.
Back then, Luo Qiu searched every corner of the world but couldn't find her sister.
She couldn't even detect the slightest trace of her sister.
She came to the lake where she and her sister used to play.
There, they had had a very happy time.
Luo Qiu walked along the lakeshore.
As she walked, she saw the bay of water her sister had mentioned.
The water was still as calm as ever.
It was as clear as when she and her sister were both there.
But whatever fell into it would always disappear inexplicably.
Her sister had said that this lake was also called the Cannibal Lake and one must never touch it.
Luo Qiu was heart - broken at that time.
She had no more attachments to this world.
She held a pair of winter gloves in her hand, which her sister had bought for her at the temple fair.
She wondered if their names on the big tree at the temple fair had become blurred with the wind and rain.
Luo Qiu placed the gloves on her heart.
Then she took a step forward.
She slowly walked towards the center of the lake.
The water submerged her whole body.
She couldn't breathe.
When the water completely enveloped her and she was extremely suffocated, for some reason, Luo Qiu seemed to see on the lake surface.
Her sister was opening her arms and gently calling her "Xiao Qiu".
She calmly closed her eyes.
At that moment, she actually felt relieved.
In this world, no one had ever cared about her. Her biological mother, after she was born, in order to compete for favor, not only engraved cinnabar on her brow but also used poisonous powder to cover the mark on her back.
Although Liu Yuan was her biological mother, she was more vicious to her than her enemies.
And her father.
People always said that a father was a daughter's strongest support and would shield her from the biggest storms.
But Luo Hao was different.
From childhood to adulthood, because she couldn't practice martial arts, in his eyes, she was a useless person and didn't win his favor.
Even on the battlefield, when she pointed the sharp sword in her hand at him.
At the moment of life and death.
Luo Qiu asked Luo Hao, "Over the years, have you ever felt the slightest bit of remorse towards me? Have you ever regarded me as your daughter even once?"
But Luo Hao just glared at her fiercely.
He said, "No, I've never regretted anything. I don't feel the slightest bit of remorse towards you. If I could choose again, I would still choose to get rid of you, the scourge of Ruoqiang."
Tears welled up in Luo Qiu's eyes.
She raised her hand and the sword fell.
But what she cut off was not Luo Hao's head, but one of his feet.
After that, she threw him into the wilderness. From then on, the father - daughter relationship between her and Luo Hao no longer existed.
In this life.
The people Luo Qiu cared about all looked down on her.
When she was in Changkong Academy, she was very cautious, but in the end, she got nothing and was bullied a lot.
Her kindness didn't earn her kindness from others. She was almost defiled.
When Luo Qiu was in despair.
It was her sister who took her back to the small bamboo garden.
It was her sister who comforted her and healed her.
Her sister was her hope and light to live on.
But now, the hope was gone.
The light had disappeared.
Her world had become completely dark.
There was nothing left in this world for her to miss.
Since that was the case, it would be better to jump into the lake and keep a bit of peace in the last moment.
That's what Luo Qiu thought.
And that's what she did.
But she never expected.
Even death was a luxury for her.
When she woke up again with a clear mind, she was in a wilderness.
As soon as she opened her eyes, a vulture swooping down from the sky almost tore off her flesh.
Fortunately, she reacted quickly and knocked the vulture down.
Luo Qiu stood up.
The long scar on her arm that had already healed was somehow scratched by a branch again, and now blood was oozing out.
It was this smell of blood that attracted so many vultures.
Next, there came roars from afar.
Luo Qiu fixed her eyes and looked.
It was a group of extremely ferocious beasts.
They hadn't smelled blood for a long time. Luo Qiu's arrival inadvertently became a piece of fat in their mouths. They rushed forward one by one, afraid that other beasts would snatch it away.
Luo Qiu smiled blood - thirstily.
She tore off a piece of cloth from her clothes and casually bandaged the wound on her hand.
When she raised her eyes again, there was only killing in her eyes.
