Come to think of it, it had been a long time since the Dictum of Death had appeared. The owner of it would definitely not be a simple character. The fact that he had to use the dictum due to certain incidents had already proven that the consequences of the Dictum of Death's reappearance would not be easy.
The participants who were involved due to the Dictum of Death would not be able to reap any benefits easily. Before the owner of the Dictum of Death could say anything further, the assassins in the meeting had already been dealt a heavy blow. The dark clouds and the frightening aura were not something that an ordinary person could bear.
Therefore, it was better for them to observe for a few days before deciding what to do next.
Yun Yang did not make any moves in the following period of time. Firstly, the matter that he had wanted to instigate previously was no longer an opportunity due to the sudden change in the situation. It would be useless to act rashly. Secondly, the conflict between the Four Seasons Tower and the assassins did not erupt due to this incident. Thirdly, which was also the most fundamental reason, the assassins that Yun Yang had hoped to see the most had yet to arrive.
Ouyang Xiaoshe, for example!
Yun Yang had been thinking about the strange red light on Ji Lingxi for the past few days.
He had been thinking about the attack from the man in black, the disintegration in the air, and the hidden power of the red light.
Yun Yang was now certain that the man in black must be dead. He had exploded and died. He could not have been more dead.
Moreover, he did not hold back in his attack at all!
All the force had been directed at Ji Lingxi.
Then, there was the red light.
It was the red light that had blocked the attack.
Yun Yang had even boldly come up with a terrifying conjecture. Not only had the red light stopped the man in black's attack, it had even retaliated. The man in black had been sent flying at a speed that was far beyond Yun Yang's knowledge. It was not his own ability but he had been sent flying by the force of the red light. When he landed, he had disintegrated instantly.
Yes, he had been killed.
When Yun Yang first thought of this, he wanted to overturn his conjecture almost immediately.
It did not make sense. It did not make sense at all.
He was well aware of Ji Lingxi's cultivation base.
Her own cultivation base was much weaker than his. How could she have the ability to send the man in black flying and even kill him from the recoil?
However, after thinking about it again and again, this situation seemed to be the only suitable explanation for the current situation.
There was only one possibility left – although the red light was incredibly powerful, it did not originate from Ji Lingxi's cultivation base.
It would only be effective when Ji Lingxi's safety was threatened.
Thinking of this, Yun Yang broke out in a cold sweat. He recalled how he had been flung away the other day and thought about what had happened to the man in black. Had he almost followed in the man's footsteps that day? ,
No, according to the time, it should be said that he was the one who helped the black-clothed man fight the Yellow Springs!
As Yun Yang calmed his thoughts and steadied himself, he began to wonder what the red light was and how it could possess such terrifying power.
Yun Yang could not figure it out no matter how hard he thought about it. The only thing he knew was that Ji Lingxi's identity was probably very, very special.
As the person directly involved, Ji Lingxi did not even know about the existence of the red glow.
The red light must have been cast by an unparalleled expert whose level Yun Yang could not fathom at his current stage – it was set up specifically to protect her.
It might not appear normally, but when there was a threat to her reputation or her life, the red light would appear automatically.
Up until now, the red light had appeared twice. The first time was when Yun Yang and Ji Lingxi had accidentally touched each other on the same bed … and then the red light had appeared.
This time, the strength of the man in black had reached a level that could threaten Ji Lingxi's life. Therefore, the man in black had met with a tragedy!
It was not difficult to imagine how much the person who had cast the restriction on Ji Lingxi to protect her cared about her.
Yun Yang wiped the sweat off his forehead and sucked in a breath. He could not help recalling Ji Lingxi's confession and sighed, "Girl … Even if you like me, I like you too … Both of us can only treat each other with respect for a very long time …"
It had to be said that Yun Yang had never thought about it before and his thoughts were never on it.
Now that Ji Lingxi had abruptly entered his heart, his heart skipped a beat and he could not help thinking about his marriage.
However, it seemed that he was not as ignorant as he used to be.
If he could not control himself now, perhaps he would be severely injured? Hurt his tendons and bones? Shattered body and bones? Obliterated soul and spirit?
"The person who cast this restriction in Ji Lingxi's body … Could it be her biological father?" Yun Yang chuckled dryly. "This old man is really … cautious."
Thinking of this, Yun Yang felt as if he had thought of something. He stood up abruptly, his entire body stiffening.
His gaze regained clarity. After a long, long time, he suddenly cried out, "Is it? Is it? "
Yun Yang could only feel his heart pounding so hard that it almost jumped out of his mouth. An even more shocking thought popped into his mind.
"If this red light was left by Ji Lingxi's elder, then … Ji Lingxi and eighth brother are biological siblings … There's no doubt about it. If that's the case … wouldn't the person who left it only care about his daughter and not his son? "
"Wait … if it wasn't for the person who cared about his daughter and not his son … wouldn't eighth brother still be alive?"
"Eighth brother was actually rescued?"
"Is it … correct to think of it this way?"
Yun Yang felt his mouth go dry, the inexplicable joy in his heart almost bursting out of his chest.
"What's more, maybe it wasn't just eighth brother himself, but the other brothers were rescued as well! If this is the case, Sister Yun Zuiyue's sudden disappearance that day … before she disappeared, she fed me so much good stuff. Although so many good things have been assimilated into my body, I can only unleash a hundredth or twenty percent of its power now … Those are all rare spiritual ingredients, it's already rare to find even a little bit of it. Where did she get so many good things? However, if it's given by some reclusive expert, it makes sense instead! "
"If that's the case … does it mean that … Sister Yue isn't dead as well?"
"They were all rescued by the reclusive expert. Sister Yue's disappearance was actually only because she was fifth brother's wife, that's why she was taken away!"
The more Yun Yang thought, the more agitated he became. The more he thought, the more chaotic his mind became, but at the same time, it was filled with a thick sense of hope.
He realized that all these incidents seemed to be connected by a single thread, deducing in the direction that he was most willing to see …
"If this is really the case … if eighth brother didn't die at all, then Sister Lan's last letter, saying that she was very happy to be with eighth brother … would be the truth and the reality … Sister Lan didn't die for love? She was just taken away by eighth brother? "
Yun Yang panted heavily, feeling a rush of blood to the top of his head. At that moment, he actually felt a little dizzy.
Then, he sprung up and dashed out, rushing to Ji Lingxi's room.
It was already midnight!
Ever since Ji Lingxi had confessed her love to Yun Yang that day when she thought she was dead, she had been too embarrassed to step out of her room for the past two days.
No matter how much the young lady loved someone, she still had a sense of shame in her heart.
Of course, Yun Yang knew what was bothering the little girl, so he would not disturb her abruptly, lest she felt even more awkward.
However, Yun Yang could not care less now. This matter concerned the safety and whereabouts of his brothers and sister-in-law, he had to get to the bottom of it.
The little girl was the only clue at the moment, there was no room for hesitation!
"Bang, bang, bang, bang …"
A series of knocks came from the door.
Ji Lingxi was already asleep, her face flushed as she lay under the blanket. Her thoughts were unknown, her eyelids fluttering restlessly.
Suddenly, she heard the knocking that sounded like a drum. She sat up immediately and asked, "Who is it?"
"It's me!"
Yun Yang's hurried voice came from outside. "Lingxi, open the door quickly. I have something very important to tell you."
Ji Lingxi's heart skipped a beat as she stammered, "You – you … what's the matter? It's already very late …"
The little girl thought subconsciously, "Could it be that he knows my feelings and has accepted them? That's why he's coming tonight …"
No, no! Absolutely not!
Ji Lingxi felt her entire body burning up as she rejected him repeatedly.
Yun Yang said, "Open the door, open the door. I must see you tonight. Let's have a good talk. It's really serious."
"Have a good talk, serious …" Ji Lingxi was even more flustered. What could it be that a man and a woman had to have a good talk in the middle of the night? How could serious matters be discussed at this time? They were both at the age of youth, who did he take for a fool?
This …
"No, no, no … I won't open the door even if I die!" Ji Lingxi was flustered, her voice almost sounding like she was about to cry. "Please … Yun Yang, go back first. It's very late … Let's talk tomorrow morning …"
"It's not convenient tomorrow morning …" Yun Yang said anxiously, "This has to be carried out tonight …"
"Mmm …" Ji Lingxi murmured shyly, her head almost burying itself into the blanket.
How shameful!
What a foe!
How could he even open his mouth?
You wanted to look for me just now, yet you didn't even try to avoid it … You knocked so loudly on the door and moaned so loudly … How could I have the nerve to open the door for you now?
If you had been quieter just now … more discreet … I might have opened the door …
What an idiot!
