But before he reached the end of the stone steps, he heard Wei Lichu's exclamation: "Master!"

Yu Qizhe frowned and looked at Zhang Daoling in the iron cage, who was obviously no longer breathing, for a long time without saying a word.

Wei Lichu was immersed in grief and cried silently.

Yu Qizhe suddenly understood that all this was obviously planned by Zhang Daoling. His words were probably half true and half false. No wonder he was imprisoned by Cheng Ying for more than ten years. This Taoist priest was really good at lying.

Wei Lichu said with red eyes: "Master Yu, please allow me to collect Master's body. I want to send Master's ashes back to Pingliang Prefecture for burial."

Yu Qizhe did not comment. He turned and left the dungeon. After he came out, he said to Lu Jin, "Watch Zhang Daoling's body being cremated."

After all, Zhang Daoling is a sorcerer, and his body is full of weirdness. The dead cannot be resurrected, but the person must be really dead.

After leaving the Plum Garden, Yu Qizhe could no longer hold back, so he jumped on his horse, left the Jinyiwei behind, and galloped away.

Even though he knew that Zhang Daoling's words were half true and half false, there was still a thorn in his heart. The past between Cheng Ying and Yu Jiao was far beyond his imagination. They once lived together in another world, with the bonds and entanglements of two lives. The past belonged only to them and had nothing to do with him.

It's like a fishbone stuck in the throat and can't be swallowed.

He was the one who should be excluded. This realization made Yu Qizhe's chest churn, as if he was in a world of ice and snow, with the biting, whistling cold wind mixed with ice and snow blowing in his face.

Another world, rebirth, these absurd words hit him without any explanation, leaving him unprepared and full of powerlessness.

There was a history between them that he could never be a part of.

Yu Jiao probably didn't recognize Cheng Ying before, but what about her now? She should know now, what would she think?

Did she stay with Cheng Ying voluntarily and not want to come back?

Yu Qizhe raised his whip fiercely and rushed into the dense forest outside the city. At this moment, he had a violent desire to destroy! He cared a lot about the past between Yu Jiao and Cheng Ying. Jealousy and bitterness intertwined and swelled, almost tearing his chest apart and jumping out.

It started to drizzle at some point in the sky. Yu Qizhe's cheeks were wet and his eyelashes were covered with water droplets. He rode his horse in the rain for more than half an hour before he calmed down a little.

After calming down, he realized that he was actually feeling uneasy.

He was afraid that he would lose Yu Jiao.

He had no idea what Yu Jiao and Cheng Ying's past was like, and was unsure whether Yu Jiao would still choose him without hesitation. His impotent rage all came from his inner insecurity.

Yu Qizhe wiped the rain off his face and looked forward with his peach blossom eyes firmly - in the direction of Xianyang.

Even if Jiaojiao and Cheng Ying had a past, so what? He would never let her go. She was already his wife, and in this life, he was the one who loved Jiaojiao.

Yu Qizhe recalled the past and his emotions slowly calmed down. In his memory, Yu Jiao didn't seem to have liked other men. If she and Cheng Ying were really lovers, how could she not recognize him?

Yu Qizhe clenched the reins tightly, closed his eyes, and thought about the worst possible scenario. If Yu Jiao and Cheng Ying were really lovers, then he would never let her go. He would never let her go and give her to someone else in his entire life.

After thinking it through, Yu Qizhe suddenly felt relaxed. He whipped the horse and galloped towards the city gate.

Since it's impossible to let go, I should go and get her back to my side!
