The girls were pale as well.
Ji Lingxi's body swayed but she did not forget to support Yue Rulan. "Sister Lan!"
Yue Rulan's gaze was already somber.
She murmured, "Ji Lingfeng, where … are you?"
Once Yue Rulan finished speaking, she suddenly coughed and spat out a mouthful of crimson blood from her red lips before she fainted. Yue Rulan was mentally and physically exhausted from such a long search.
The only reason she could still hold on without breaking down was because there was still a faint hope in her heart.
However, each piece of news was proven to be false and each hope was crushed like a bubble. Yue Rulan's footsteps had almost covered half the continent but there was no result.
The shattering of her hope this time was more like the straw that broke the camel's back. She could no longer hold on.
Ji Lingxi's eyes were rimmed red. Brother, where are you?
Why can't I find you after searching the entire world?
"What do we do now?" Yu Xiang'er asked in a trembling voice.
The girls were silent, speechless for a moment.
Ji Lingxi stood there stiffly, her mind blank.
It was at this moment that she suddenly felt her own weakness.
Sister Rulan, who had been accompanying and comforting her since her brother's disappearance, had collapsed as well. The dazed Ji Lingxi suddenly felt a sense of hopelessness, as if there was no one she could rely on despite the vastness of the world. She murmured almost instinctively, "What should we do? Where are we going? … "
Her heart ached as tears streamed down her cheeks.
Yu Xiang'er murmured, "We've been out for so long … My family asked me to go back directly this time … Lingxi, why don't you and Sister Lan come to my house for some time? We'll think of a way slowly, there will be a turn for the better … "
Xia Yuhan said in a low voice as well, "My family wants me to go back too. They've urged me a few times … Lingxi, it's not a good idea for us to search aimlessly like this …"
Yue Rulan, who was in Ji Lingxi's arms, woke up slowly and sighed tiredly, saying, "Actually, our sisters have helped a lot … Cough … You can go back first this time. We'll search again when there's news. Or, we can find some time to meet again."
"You don't have to worry too much about me and Lingxi. We're going back this time too." Yue Rulan said weakly, "We have so many guards with us, they're all experts … Nothing will happen …"
Yu Xiang'er asked worriedly, "But … where are you going?"
Determination gleamed in Yue Rulan's eyes as she gritted her teeth softly and said, "One of the places where the exact news came from is this Young Master Ling Feng while the other is Tiantang City."
Yue Rulan said firmly, "Since it's confirmed that it's not the former, let's go back to Tiantang City!"
Hearing the three words' Tiantang City ', Ji Lingxi's eyes glowed.
Tiantang City!
Nothing happened that night.
The next morning, the sisters parted with tears. Yu Xiang 'er hugged Ji Lingxi and cried for a long time before she was finally persuaded to leave.
Ji Lingxi and Yue Rulan brought forty to fifty guards with them and began their return journey.
However, along the way, it was completely silent.
Yue Rulan was the only one who had made up her mind resolutely.
After confirming that the Young Master Ling Feng was not Ji Lingfeng, Yue Rulan's heart was filled with despair. It was a hopeless feeling, like there was nothing left to live for. However, it was also because of this that she had suggested to return to Tiantang City.
Yun Yang was still there.
Young Master Yun.
Someone Ji Lingxi liked.
Since I've already tasted the feeling of losing my love forever, it's such a heart-wrenching pain. Then, I'll think of a way to prevent Lingxi from experiencing the same feeling.
Lingfeng, even if I can't find you in this lifetime, I'll still use the rest of my life to search for you. I'll continue searching for you in my next life as well.
But even if I can't find you forever, I'll take good care of your sister.
Your only sister!
Yue Rulan's hair and white gown fluttered in the wind, her face indescribably calm.
Ji Lingfeng, do you still remember what I told you before?
Even if you can travel thousands of miles with the wind and disappear from the world, the moonlight will still exist forever, generation after generation. Gentle and lingering, unchanging through the ages.
Even if I'm an orchid in an empty valley, guarding it for the rest of my life, I'll still wait quietly for the person who can smell my orchid fragrance.
…
The sisters who had left sighed as well. All of us can go home, but only Ji Lingxi and Yue Rulan can't.
They would be forced into marriage once they returned, and it would be the kind that they could never resist.
"I can only bless all of you, that you can find Brother Lingfeng …"
Yu Xiang'er turned back to look at the distant mountains, tears glistening in her eyes.
"If you have any difficulties, don't forget to look for us."
…
Yun Yang could vaguely feel that something was amiss.
He had been waiting for the old marshal to bring the emperor to look for him in the past few days, but there was no sign of them.
What was going on?
Yun Yang was certain that his Endless Divine Art could alleviate His Majesty's poison and even his physical condition. He was the only person who would not harm the emperor at all. He believed that both His Majesty and the old marshal knew this, but why had they not come to look for him? It was understandable if it was just His Majesty, but there was no news from the old marshal either. It was puzzling!
There was also Shui Wuyin from the Towering Wind Pavilion. Yun Yang had gone to the Towering Wind Pavilion a dozen times during this period of time, but the host, Shui Wuyin, was nowhere to be seen.
Where had Shui Wuyin gone?
Yun Yang was very sure that Shui Wuyin was in Tiantang City and was secretly watching the Towering Wind Pavilion. However, Yun Yang could not find him no matter what.
Yun Yang was puzzled by this as well. He was indeed eighth brother Supreme Wind's right-hand man. Yun Yang could not even find him in his current state, he was indeed a talent!
…
On this day, when Yun Yang was on his way to Cirrus House, there was a group of people heading towards him.
They were from the crown prince's residence.
Yun Yang spotted Han Wufei at first glance.
At this moment, this fellow was staring at her with a sullen expression, and his fingers were still pointing at her.
The four middle-aged men dressed in black beside him turned their heads at the same time, their gazes focused on Yun Yang as well.
Yun Yang clearly felt as if four sharp arrows had been shot at his face at the same time.
For a moment, his face actually felt an actual pain.
These four people were experts, top-notch experts!
Thinking of this, Yun Yang halted his steps and looked at the group of people in front of him.
These fellows had come with ill intentions.
The group of people parted to the left and right as a young man dressed in a bright yellow robe walked out with his arms behind his back. He had a majestic gait and a graceful bearing.
This person wore a warm smile on his face, giving anyone who saw him a comfortable feeling, as if they were bathed in a spring breeze.
Moreover, the natural nobility and grace that flowed from his body caused him to reveal an extraordinary aura that was high and mighty, as if he was looking down at the world from above.
The person in front of him was the current crown prince.
His Majesty the emperor's second son.
Yu Chenglong!
The crown prince did not say a word once he appeared, but the intimidating aura that he exuded had already silenced the group of people who had been tempted to make a move. No one dared to act rashly.
"I've long heard of Young Master Yun's great name. I can't wait to meet you sooner. I didn't expect that I could only see Young Master Yun's face today. It's true that hearing about you is better than meeting you in person."
The crown prince smiled and said, "Young Master Yun's elegance is indeed unparalleled in Tiantang!"
Yun Yang observed the face in front of him quietly, feeling that something was amiss the more he looked at it.
Looking at the person in front of him, he instinctively recalled the face he had seen in Soul's Dream when he was severely injured.
If this face could be more mature, friendlier, with a darker complexion and less thick brows, it would almost be like the eldest Supreme Earth had appeared before him.
However, it was these insignificant differences that created an unusual sense of uneasiness.
Yun Yang suppressed the ripples in his heart and said faintly, "Your Highness's royal demeanor has impressed Yun Yang even more. I've long heard that Your Highness is a modest gentleman who seeks talents and treats people without any arrogance. Seeing you today, I can see that you live up to your reputation. This is what it means to hear about you in person. It's true that meeting about you in person is better than meeting you in person. "
His Highness laughed heartily and said, "The world belongs to the people of this world. The so-called royal family is only responsible for patrolling the heavens and making decisions on behalf of the people. What arrogance is there to speak of? Young Master Yun must be joking. "
Yun Yang laughed and said, "However, I wonder what business Your Highness has in stopping me like this?"
The crown prince said with sincerity, "I've always wanted to meet Young Master Yun, so I sent someone to invite you the day before yesterday. I didn't expect him to misunderstand me and offend Young Master Yun. Young Master Yun is not at fault in this matter and can't be blamed for anything else. I can only blame myself for not making things clear. Since we're fated to meet today, of course I have to apologize to Young Master Yun and explain what happened in the past. "
As he spoke, he stood up solemnly and said in a clear voice, "Young Master Yun, I'm sorry. What happened the day before yesterday was entirely my fault. "
Han Wufei, who was standing aside, was visibly shaken.
Although he had someone else in his heart and was not really working for the crown prince, he could not help but feel grateful when he saw the crown prince's actions.
Even when he knew that the crown prince was putting on an act to buy people's hearts, it was not an easy feat for a crown prince of a country to put on such a humble front.
He was capable of what others could not and tolerated what others could not!
Yun Yang turned to the side and said, "Your Highness has spoken too seriously. Like what you said, it was only a small misunderstanding from the beginning to the end. There's no need to be so serious and make such a big fuss about it."
The crown prince wore a smile on his face, but he was grumbling inwardly, "A small misunderstanding? It was that little misunderstanding of yours that made me feel extremely uncomfortable these past few days. All the civil and military officials looked at me with suspicion and conjecture ….
It's as if I'm being roasted on fire.
It's easy for you to say such a small misunderstanding, but how can I not be cautious? I have to make a big fuss about it and take it seriously. Only then can I show my magnanimity and my lack of malice! "
Despite his grumbling, the crown prince still looked amiable as he laughed heartily and said, "Since Young Master Yun doesn't mind, a chance encounter is better than a chance encounter. Would Young Master Yun be in the mood to have a drink with me?"
