Ye Wuchen shook his head at Bubbly Mo. Bubbly Mo nodded obediently and did not say a word. Ye Wuchen descended from the sky and landed soundlessly in front of Cold Cliffs. Cold Cliffs did not see his appearance at all. It was only when his body was about to collide with Ye Wuchen that he stopped and looked at the person in front of him with a gaze that made one's heart palpitate.
Facing Ye Wuchen, he was not surprised, expressionless, silent and his eyes did not waver. It was as if what was blocking in front of him was an ordinary stone wall.
"Cold Cliffs, what happened?" Ye Wuchen asked in an extremely gentle voice. His heart was already dead … what he brought to him was a kind of gloomy aura of death. And he walked out of the Lost Lands alone. This meant that he broke out of the Northern Emperor Sect and broke out of the Infernal Spirit Sand Array all by himself.
"Ping Er … is dead … Ping Er … is dead …" He muttered intermittently. His footsteps moved forward, bypassing Ye Wuchen's body. With trembling footsteps, he walked forward like an old man with one foot in the grave. He did not know where he was going and what he was going to do.
Ping Er …
In his arms was a girl that he had never seen before. She was not even 20 years old. Her messy hair and bloodstains blurred her face. He could not see her face clearly. Her clothes were also messy … Who she was, was not important. Ye Wuchen looked up at the sky and sighed silently. He could already guess what Cold Cliffs had encountered.
He could be said to be one of the people who understood Cold Cliffs the most in this world. He knew that under his cold and indifferent appearance, he valued every relationship very much. He would always only have one master. Even if his master became an unpardonable villain and became a beggar on the streets, he would never have a change of heart … The relationship between a man and a woman in his world, was the same. The string of his emotions, was completely broken.
Fate had always been so cruel to him. He was destined to be a man without any worries, a man who lived a lonely life stained with blood.
Ye Wuchen turned around and walked behind him. He reached out and pressed his hand on his shoulder. Before he could say anything, he suddenly pulled his hand back. His gaze landed on his palm, then on Cold Cliffs.
When he came into contact with Cold Cliffs's body, he felt a bone-chilling coldness in the depths of his heart. It was almost the same feeling as when Bubbly Foam gave him the soft candy.
"Devil Qi …" Ye Wuchen looked at Cold Cliffs's back and murmured softly. Beside him, Bubbly Foam nodded lightly. She also looked at Cold Cliffs with a puzzled and slightly hazy gaze.
Ye Wuchen took a step forward and grabbed his left shoulder. The wound, which was still slowly oozing with blood, healed at an extremely fast speed. He whispered, "Let's go back. She's still by your side, watching you secretly. You must want her to see your friend, right? "
Cold Cliffs didn't seem to hear it and continued to move forward step by step. Facing Cold Cliffs at this time, Ye Wuchen's heart ached, but he also felt a deep sense of helplessness. Because of the existence of the mysterious "Bloody Demon Eyes," his emotions were different from ordinary people. He didn't know how to comfort him. Or perhaps, consoling him wouldn't be of any use at all.
"It's all my fault … If I had known this, I wouldn't have let you follow me there." Ye Wuchen's eyes were filled with pain. He said slowly in a soft voice that only he could hear. The voice quickly dissipated in the wind. Bubbly Foam leaned over and used her own hands to hold his hands. She whispered, "Daddy, you are sad … Don't be sad, okay?"
Ye Wuchen lowered his head, smiled at her, and nodded gently.

Curled up in the corner of the room, Cold Cliffs was like a mummy, motionless. His eyes were open, but they weren't red like when he activated the Bloody Demon Eyes. But they were also different from the eyes of a normal human. Instead, they were a dark gray.
Beside him, Ping 'er was lying motionless as well. After being brought back by Ye Wuchen to the Evil Sect, if anyone tried to take Ping 'er's body away from him, his Bloody Demon Eyes would suddenly open and release a murderous aura that froze the air. It was so strong that even Yan Tianwei's expression changed. After leaving Ping 'er's body, the red in his eyes faded, and the murderous aura also slowly dissipated.
The intensity of Cold Cliffs's murderous aura could not be compared to the first time he activated the Bloody Demon Eyes at the Tianchen Magic Conference. Everyone was silently wondering … what had happened to his body in the past three days.
He sat in that gloomy room, motionless from the night till the break of day. The door to the room was tightly shut. No one opened it, and no sound could be heard. It was not until noon when the door was pushed open from the outside. Ye Wuchen appeared. He did not enter the room, but looked straight at Cold Cliffs. His eyes were as calm as still water.
In the dead silence, the first to move was Cold Cliffs. He lifted his head from his curled up position and stood up. As he had been curled up for too long, his body had become extremely stiff, and the speed at which he stood up was extremely slow. He lifted his head and looked straight into Ye Wuchen's eyes. In his eyes, Ye Wuchen did not see any trace of emotion.
"You did not disappoint me." Ye Wuchen said in a sorrowful tone.
Cold Cliffs carried Ping 'er and brushed past Ye Wuchen's body as he walked out of the room. He did not make a sound the entire time.
On the vast grassland, Ye Wuchen stood behind Cold Cliffs once again. Previously, he had been watching from afar as he slowly dug up the soil with his bare hands. He dug a very deep hole and placed Ping 'er into this place of eternal rest that Cold Cliffs had personally built for her. He knelt there and looked at her for a very long time. Finally, his trembling hands pushed forward, allowing the fresh soil to cover the face that he would never see again and would never forget.
"Cold Cliffs." Ye Wuchen called out. Other than calling out his name, he did not know what else to say.
Cold Cliffs turned around and looked at Ye Wuchen with his ashen eyes. "I will never forget my promise."
He had said that his life was his and it would never change. After one night, he no longer felt sorrow. After burying Ping 'er with his bare hands, he no longer felt nostalgic. Only his heart had turned into the same ashen color as his eyes. It would never change in this lifetime.
Ye Wuchen nodded his head. He did not need to say anything else. Cold Cliffs was no longer the Cold Cliffs from a few days ago. Many things about him had changed, but the things that were deeply rooted in his bones would never change. This was his persistence and pride.
"Sit down and tell me about her." Ye Wuchen pressed down on Cold Cliffs's shoulder and sat down on the grassland, facing the newly built grave. Cold Cliffs sat there as well. He looked ahead and spoke in a calm voice, "Her name is Ping 'er."
Ye Wuchen nodded his head slightly and listened attentively. In his heart, he etched the name 'Ping' er 'into his mind.
"She was Yan Zhimeng's handmaiden and also her sister. She said that Yan Zhimeng was no longer in the Northern Emperor Sect. Three years ago, she was pregnant. Yan Ximing wanted to force her to abort the child. She made use of a sudden snowfall and escaped under the cover of the snow. No one knew where she went … In order to protect her, Ping 'er blocked Yan Ximing's pursuit. She was locked up for three years. I met her there. "
Ye Wuchen: "…"
Cold Cliffs used an emotionless and soothing voice to narrate everything that happened in the past few days. He detailed down to every detail, even every word, every movement. From the beginning to the end, he maintained the same posture and the same voice. There was no emotional fluctuation at any time. It was as if he was narrating a story that could not be more ordinary.
When the heart is dead, how can there be any emotional turbulence? At this time, even if there were thousands of knives pressed against his throat, millions of poisonous snakes coiled around his body, he still wouldn't feel the slightest bit of fear.
From the noon sun to the west, then to dusk. When Cold Cliffs's last sentence ended, Ye Wuchen stood up and left, dragging his long shadow under the setting sun. In his mouth, he silently muttered a single word …
Snow …
"Immediately go check if there was snow in Sunflower Dew Country three years ago!" Returning to the main hall, Ye Wuchen said solemnly.
Ten minutes later, he obtained the answer. Yan Gong Luo, who had hurriedly returned, said in an incomparably certain tone: "Master, Sunflower Dew Country is hot and humid all year round. The temperature never reaches the temperature of snow. Not to mention three years, even if it was ten years, twenty years, or thirty years ago, there has never been snow. "
Ye Wuchen stood up from his seat, pacing back and forth a few steps. He turned around and said: "Let Big Brother Chu accompany Cold Cliffs for a few days. I must leave first."
Snow … it's her, it must be her!
"Ah? Master … "Yan Gong Luo stared blankly. Just as he shouted, he could only see the already impatient Ye Wuchen disappear before his eyes in a mass of white light.

Tenryū Province, a forgotten corner.
Oculum immediately sensed Ye Wuchen's return when he appeared. She, who was frolicking with Ningxue by the river, picked up Ningxue with one hand and quickly flew back. When she saw Ye Wuchen's figure, she hurriedly dropped from the air, tightly sticking her body to him.
"Big brother, you're finally back." Ningxue cheered with an extremely joyful voice, but didn't reveal at all how worried and expectant she was these past few days.
"Have you had a good time these past two days?" Ye Wuchen's hands respectively stuck to the left side of Ningxue's face and the right side of Oculum's face, softly asking. Little Mo, who was beside her, turned her face away, not letting him see the dissatisfaction on her face.
"Yes! These past few days, Big Sister Oculum and I went to all the places that Big Brother and I have been to … Big Brother. Who is this big sister? " Ningxue looked curiously at the girl that Ye Wuchen had brought back. She felt a vague sense of familiarity from her. It was difficult for her to remember that she had met her by chance in Dafeng Country three years ago. Oculum also glanced at her, then looked away. She recognized her at once. After all, she and Ye Wuchen had met on the street not long ago. As for why she was here, she didn't care.
"My name is Little Mo. Three years ago, we met outside Tianfeng City." Little Mo turned her head, the corners of her mouth curled up, and said with a slightly repulsive tone.
"Yes, Cher, do you remember when we went to Tianfeng City to look for Big Sister three years ago? On the way, we met a little girl with a sprained ankle?" Ye Wuchen bent down and said to Ningxue with a smile.
"Oh?" Ningxue thought for a moment, then smiled. "Hello, Big Sister Little Mo. My name is Ningxue."
She remembered the incident three years ago, but it was difficult for her to remember what the little girl looked like three years ago. After all, it was only a brief encounter, and it had been a long time since then.
