Chapter 650 How to handle the master's remains?

Li Qinglu shook her head, her face pale, and said, "I'm fine."

Qinling stomped his feet in anger.

"This is still okay?"

"You must rest now, and you're not allowed to run around or overwork yourself anymore!"

"Otherwise, if there are irreversible consequences, I, Qin Ling, will not bear the responsibility!"

Li Qingluo: "I know."

"It's none of your business."

Que'er and Granny Zheng quickly helped Li Qingluo to sit down to the side.

Li Yunchu was so anxious that she bit her lip until it bled.

Zhui Yu approached with a gloomy face, but still cautiously asked, "Miss, were the things you said to Mr. Nangong before his death all true?"

Li Qingluo didn't respond, but Granny Zheng exclaimed in surprise, "What do you mean by 'before death'? What happened to Mr. Nangong?"

Que'er pulled Zheng Mama back, shaking her head with red eyes.

"Granny, Mr. Nangong... he's dead."

"The body is in the carriage."

Granny Zheng looked at everyone in disbelief, and seeing the ashen faces on each person's face, she still couldn't believe it.

"how so?"

"That, that's Mr. Nangong!"

"His martial arts skills were so high, and he was so meticulous. How could he have died?"

"We came to the Western Regions to rescue him and bring him back to the Central Plains!"

Sparrow: "Please stop talking!"

"Miss...Miss can't take it!"

Granny Zheng bit her lower lip tightly; she really dared not speak, but she turned away to wipe her tears.

Li Qingluo sighed deeply.

She looked up at her senior brothers and sisters, who were also looking distraught, and asked, "What's wrong with everyone?"

"Although our master has passed away, we are all heartbroken and very sad."

"But for Master, perhaps this was an outcome he had already prepared for and anticipated."

"His debts are finally paid off in this lifetime."

"In his next life, he will be a more carefree person who can reap more happiness."

Let's all cheer up.

After Li Qinglu finished speaking, she told everyone to disperse, leaving only Zhuiyu behind.

The crowd split into two groups, with the killers surrounding Que'er, Granny Zheng, and Qin Ling.

Sha Yi didn't speak, but his bloodshot eyes were the loudest question he could ask.

Sha San kept scratching his head, looking anxious: "Que'er, tell me."

"The young lady is pregnant with the young master's child."

"How come we know nothing about this?"

"What if something really bad happens? What will we do then?"

Sparrow stamped her foot: "Since you all already know, why are you still asking me?"

"I was instructed by the young lady to keep this a secret from everyone. How could I possibly disobey her and secretly tell you?"

“It’s because you careless men didn’t notice the young lady’s abnormality. My nanny and I are always afraid that the young lady will bump into something, and Doctor Qin examines the young lady every day.”

"The girl was sleepy for a while, sometimes had a poor appetite, and sometimes had a big appetite."

"If you can't see so many unusual things, can you blame us for not telling you?"

Granny Zheng: "Alright, alright, everyone stop questioning each other."

"This matter was bound to be exposed sooner or later."

"The girl's belly is gradually becoming more prominent; you'll all find out sooner or later."

Now that we know, we must be even more careful in taking care of and protecting the girl.

"Also, everyone should pay attention to the young lady's mood lately. Although she has appeared calm since Mr. Nangong's passing, she is probably on the verge of collapse."

"If anything happens, everyone should be more discerning."

Sha Yi nodded in agreement.

Everyone nodded in agreement.

On the other side, Zhuiyu knelt on the ground.

"Miss... no, Your Highness, how are we supposed to explain this to His Highness?"

Li Qingluo: "How should you explain? What should you explain?"

"Your Highness must reclaim the lost cities for the Great Chu."

Are you telling him to abandon everything and come find us, mother and child?

Therefore, nothing can be said.

"Zhuiyu, I'm fine."

“If we walk back slowly, we can return safely to Mantuo City, or even Rongle.”

"Do not disturb His Highness's peace of mind. He will know when they meet again."

Zhui Yu lowered his head.

His reddened eyes could no longer hold back the tears that streamed down his face.

But he didn't want Li Qingluo to see his disheveled state, so he quickly wiped it away.

"Understood."

"This humble servant...thanks, Your Highness!"

Zhuiyu kowtowed heavily to the ground, resolving in her heart that she would protect the princess and the young prince with even greater zeal from now on.

We must never let this happen again!

Therefore, no one allowed Li Qingluo to personally go to rescue Nanping anymore.

She was ultimately concerned for the child in her womb, so she listened to everyone's advice.

Sha San and Que'er were still worried, so they were ordered to stand in front of Li Qingluo and not allow her to get up again.

Li Qingluo could only helplessly lie down on the soft chair.

Qin Ling was decocting the medicine so quickly that his fan almost flew off its hinges.

Li Yunchu fanned him from the side, urging him as she did so: "You'd better hurry up and think of a solution. What kind of prescription can we give Luo'er nourishment as soon as possible?"

Qin Ling almost lost his temper and flew into a rage at his beloved wife.

Keep nagging him, keep nagging him until he's driven crazy!

But in reality, Li Qingluo wasn't that weak.

It was because Nangong Di's sudden death was such a huge blow to her that she couldn't accept it for a while, which caused her to have a stroke.

By now, she has calmed down considerably.

She didn't even hate Anar.

Because she understood that her master died willingly.

Xuan Cang walked over with his junior brothers and sisters.

"Luo'er, what are your plans?"

"Are we going back to the Central Plains next?"

"Let's discuss how to handle Master's remains?"

Li Qingluo: "How about burning it down?"

Upon hearing this, the third brother immediately raised his eyebrows: "What? You're going to burn Master?"

"Why not let Master be laid to rest?"

Li Qingluo: "My master once told me that if he were to die after a hundred years, he would rather be burned to ashes so that he could travel with the wind to all corners of the world."

"He didn't want to rot in the mud."

Xuan Cang: "I believe this is what Master would say."

"That's fine too."

"How about we each take a piece of Master's ashes, and scatter them in the wind wherever we go in the future?"

"Although such behavior sounds outrageous, Master was originally a free spirit. He loved freedom, loved the wind, and did not want to be bound by worldly affairs."

"Then let's follow his last wishes."

The siblings quickly agreed on the matter and decided to find a good place to cremate Nangong Di's body.

Meanwhile, Sha Yi and his group had successfully made their way to the outside of the ranch.

Since it is a royal ranch, it is naturally guarded by soldiers.

But Granny Zheng and her group had already thoroughly explored the surrounding area and even figured out how to sneak in.

However, taking people away will inevitably cause some disturbance.

But since there were many of them, they weren't afraid of this small problem.

An hour later, Nanping, covered in dirt and filth, was brought back.

Her eyes and expression were blank, and she showed no reaction even when she saw Li Qingluo.

Seeing Nanping in such a horrific state, Li Qinglu felt a pang of heartache.

Touching her face, still covered by the human skin mask, she didn't readily call out Nanping's name. Instead, she stood up and ordered, "Leave immediately!"

Although Nanping was rescued quietly, the next day, soldiers came to search for him in a small town.

The officers and soldiers carried a portrait of Nanping and went from house to house asking questions.

Fortunately, Li Qingluo had already given Nanping a new face.

After everyone closed the windows, Li Qingluo asked Qin Ling, "Have you checked on her?"

Qin Ling replied, "It's nothing serious."

"Although there are some minor injuries, none of them are serious."

"The difficulty lies in the fact that she may have experienced unbearable hardships and setbacks, which has locked her mind and spirit, and that is why she seems abnormal."

Li Qingluo: "Is it treatable?"

Qin Ling: "I...I might not be as good as your stepfather."

Li Qinglu raised an eyebrow.

"You are honest."

"But you should keep an eye on her and treat her first. Once we return to the Central Plains, your grandfather can take over."

Qin Ling was reluctant; "Alright."

After everyone had left, Li Qingluo picked up a piece of food and handed it to Nanping.

"Want to eat?"

Nanping was both tempted and a little scared when she saw the clean and delicious food.

She looked at Li Qingluo cautiously, and perhaps sensing that she really meant no harm, she slowly extended her hand.

After obediently taking a bite, Nanping even showed a flattering smile.

Li Qing's eyes reddened as she touched Nanping's head.

What exactly did they do to you?

"And what about Cui Qilang? Where did he go?"

Perhaps it was the name Cui Qilang that triggered a reaction, for Nanping actually flinched.

Li Qingluo quickly hugged her: "Don't be afraid."

I won't hurt you.

"I'm your older sister."

Nanping actually calmed down and continued to eat her snacks obediently.

Li Qinglu clenched her fists.

Western Regions Imperial Court... Marquis of Bone Capital...

One day, Li Qingluo will make them all pay the price for this!

Soon, Li Qingluo and his group completely shook off their pursuers and personally burned Nangong Di's body in a beautiful, deserted place.

As the fire gradually engulfed Nangong Di completely, Li Qingluo's mind was filled with all the scenes of her time with her master.

Nangong Di was a strict master.

He was actually reluctant when he started teaching Li Qingluo martial arts.

But he quickly saw her talent, so he became more and more sincere and serious in teaching her.

As time went by and Li Qingluo spent more time together, the two of them went through many things together, and they became closer and developed a father-daughter-like relationship.

But those days were far too short.

It was so short it felt like a dream.

Li Qingluo thought it was a lifetime.

I thought I could find my master again.

But to his dismay, he could only watch helplessly as his master resolutely faced death.

Tears streamed down her face uncontrollably as Li Qingluo whispered, "Master, may you rest in peace."

"Luo'er will always remember you."

The other senior disciples also knelt on the ground, crying and shouting, "Master—"

After cremating Nangong Di and collecting his ashes, Xuan Cang still planned to return to the Central Plains with Li Qingluo and the others.

Firstly, it's safer for everyone to walk together.

Secondly, he also wanted to personally escort Li Qingluo for a while, to fulfill the bond between them as fellow disciples.

After all, in the future, the world will be vastly different, and no one knows when they will meet again in this lifetime.

In the blink of an eye, half a month has passed.

Li Qingluo and his group then took a detour to Wusun.

Standing atop a high cliff, Li Qingluo personally scattered a handful of ashes.

“Master, the Western Regions you once visited have left behind your feelings and bloodline here.”

"For this love and bloodline, you spared your own life."

"I suppose you'd like to stay here for a while as well?"

"When Kurt returns, you can see for yourself what kind of person he really is..."

"So that you can spend some time with him, just as you wished."

As everyone watched the ashes scatter in the wind, though their hearts remained heavy with grief, they gradually came to accept the situation.

Master, see you in the next life.
