She Yan was so depressed that he wanted to curse. Zi Gui's eyes were already red. He did not dare to look at Miss. For this case, Miss almost gave up everything and stood here with the determination to die. But this was the result she was waiting for. Why? She hated it so much!
Zimo glared angrily and breathed quickly. Shaoyuan closed his eyes tightly and his face was ashen. Qinxin's shoulders twitched. She sobbed and murmured, "Headmaster died for nothing … Everyone died for nothing … It's not worth it … It's really not worth it …"
Her chest was blocked by a ball of cotton wool, making it hard for her to breathe. Ning Shu unwillingly clenched her fists. Her fingertips were deeply embedded in her flesh, but she did not feel any pain. There were tears floating in her eyes. From a distance, she looked at her father who rushed over after hearing the news. Thousands of words were stuck in her throat. She could only say, "Father, I'm sorry …"
A few strands of silver hair swayed around his temples. Separated by layers and layers of people, Ning Deyuan lovingly waved his hand at her, just like he had done countless times when they were children. His eyes were red as he smiled, as if he was saying, "Silly girl, why are you crying? Your mother won't blame you. Even if we go to hell together, what is there to be afraid of?"
Ning Shu's eyes shook. Finally, a drop of tear fell from the corner of her eye. She was not reconciled. She really, really could not swallow this. She had done everything she could, but she could not control the outcome. Was there really no other way? Was there really no other way?
When Yongchengwei pretended to put the shackle on Cao Zhengwei's neck, he slowly got up and deliberately walked past Ning Shu. At the moment when he passed by, Cao Zhengwei raised his drooping eyes and coldly glanced at her. It was as if he was mocking them with extreme disdain. He was laughing at them for running around for days and even risking their lives. In the end, wasn't it all for nothing? He was laughing at them for trying their best. In the end, what could they do to him? Setting things right was just a joke in front of the ultimate power! Hahahaha!
Ning Shu's heart surged and her blood boiled.
After Cao Zhengwei finished mocking him, he still lowered his eyes and put on a regretful face. Under Yongchengwei's custody, he slowly walked back to the Meridian Gate.
Just as the Meridian Gate opened, a deep and cold voice suddenly came from the sky on a spinning mechanical kite. Along with the person's fluttering black silk clothes, the person slowly descended to the mortal world.
That voice was cold and languid, and it carried boundless arrogance as it entered into the ears of everyone present in an unstoppable manner. "Wait, this King hasn't arrived yet, so how can you say that this case is closed?"
Before the several thousand Yongchengwei could even raise the bows in their hands, the late guest had already lightly tapped the ground with the tip of his foot and landed lightly on top of the city gate tower. He stood ten zhang away, facing the Empress from afar.
Then, he cupped his hands slightly and said to the Empress, "Xiahou Qing, Crown Prince of Nanping, greets the Empress." Behind him, Jiu Si and the others flew down from the other two kites. They held their blades in both hands and surrounded Xiahou Qing in the middle, protecting him tightly.
It's him! She didn't see wrong. He really did come! The moment she saw that figure, Ning Shu's gaze couldn't help but be fixed there. It was hard to look away. Xiahou Qing, you didn't tell me in advance that you were coming. But her heart calmed down quietly, and her lips curled up into a smile that was as smooth as spring. She knew that he wouldn't let her face these demons and monsters alone. He would fight alone!
When she saw him, Empress Cao could no longer maintain her last mask and almost tore it apart. She leaned to the side to avoid Wan Min's curious gaze. She looked at him with a poisonous gaze and said, "Xiahou Qing, you also want to shed all pretense of cordiality with this Empress!"
Xiahou Qing chuckled. After a few flashes of lightning and thunder, the dark clouds above his head that had been brewing for a long time finally drew their curtains. Wind came from the nine heavens, lifting the black satin in front of Xiahou Qing like a pair of wings that were about to fly.
He said calmly, "I'm just a little Crown Prince. How could I dare to shed all pretense of cordiality with the Empress? It's just that I heard that the Meridian Palace case was really hard on Your Highness, and I just happened to catch someone who was deeply involved in this case. How could I not bring him to share Your Highness' burden? This person is the mastermind behind today's missing children case and is also an important witness in this case. I really can't not see him. Sir Duan, please. "
Jiu Si and the others parted to make way for the person with the bamboo hat at the very back. When the hat was taken off, his hair was stained with frost and dried tree bark was revealed. Ning Shu was shocked. It was actually an old acquaintance of theirs, the Godly Doctor Duan Chang Feng who had once saved her life!
Duan Chang Feng's old eyes, which had been muddled by the wind and sand outside the Great Wall, looked around at Sifang City. First, he saw Ning Shu and the children below the city gate tower. He smiled slightly, then looked away and coldly looked at the others. He opened his mouth and said, "The way of the world is evil, evil like ghosts. In the past, when I said this to my old friends, they laughed at me for being too extreme! Ming Zhen, Ming Zhen, now that you open your eyes and look, there are demons everywhere, demons everywhere, you will regret it! "
He tore off his gray robe, revealing his shriveled body and the hundreds of fire balls tied around his waist. He laughed wildly and said, "Do you see this? What are these on my body! Back then, a total of three hundred and forty-six people from the Zhao Clan died. Now, I have three hundred and forty-six Thunderfire Pills strapped to my waist. I only need to lightly light a spark, and everyone standing within a radius of three li will follow me to the underworld to see Ming Zhen, whom I haven't seen for a long time! "
