Seeing that he was getting closer and closer to the cliff, Bei Mingyuehen hardened his heart, turned around and quickly jumped down.
"No..." Nangong Yuze was too late to stop him. It was his father who had made the mistake. He had no intention of killing him. What wrong could a child have done?
"Yuze, weeds must be pulled out by the roots. Even if he is innocent, one day we will release him back into the mountains."
Sima Jiaorong looked at Nangong Yuze reproachfully, knowing that he couldn't bear to kill Beiming Yuehen, but as long as Beiming Yuehen lived, he would follow Haotian's path, and they would both embark on this endless road of revenge.
"Jiaorong, he's not a bad person. He shouldn't have to bear the blame for his father's sins. Treating others kindly is also treating yourself kindly!"
Nangong Yuze looked regretful.
“Nangong Yuze, can you truly benefit yourself by doing good for others? Yan’er and Yifei are still missing at the bottom of the cliff, and Haotian has not returned yet. When things are going well, I have no complaints if you think about treating others kindly. But on this path of life, especially as the Palace Master of the South Sea Glazed Palace, you are always surrounded by hidden reefs and treacherous shoals. How much kindness can you show, how much concession can you make…”
“Jiao Rong…”
"Mother, Father..."
Nangong Jingqi called out from afar, interrupting Nangong Yuze's next words.
Sima Jiaorong and Nangong Yuze turned around and saw that Nangong Jingqi, Nangong Ruichen, Tian Haoze, and Hua Rujin had all arrived.
"Nangong, where is Yan'er?"
As soon as Nangong Ruichen approached, he asked anxiously. He had heard from Haoze that Yan'er had been taken hostage by Beiming Yaowei, so they rushed over as fast as they could, but all he saw were corpses on the ground, and he did not see Yan'er.
Sima Jiaorong lowered her head, her face filled with sorrow and tears, unable to speak.
Nangong Yuze looked at them and said in a sullen tone.
"Your sister and Yifei fell off a cliff."
"What?" Nangong Jingqi and Nangong Ruichen exclaimed in surprise.
"How could this be...?" Nangong Ruichen quickly took out the bracelet, and looking at the purple light on it, his eyes instantly lit up with ecstasy.
"Yan'er will be alright, the purple light on the bracelet has been shining all along."
Nangong Ruichen quickly turned around. "Haoze, go back and find Nongying. He's familiar with the terrain here. Have him send people to search the area. We'll go down and find Yan'er and Yifei first."
"Okay!" Tian Haoze took Hua Rujin with him and disappeared in an instant.
The rustling wind kept blowing past their ears, and the two falling bodies made a crackling sound as they hit the branches that stretched out from the edge of the tree.
Dongfang Yifei held Nangong Ziyan tightly, enduring the stinging of branches and thorns, trying his best to calm himself down. They couldn't die, they absolutely couldn't die, this was his only belief now. But why was this damn cliff so high? Why hadn't it reached the bottom yet? Logically speaking, they should be falling very fast.
Without feeling any pain, Nangong Ziyan slowly opened her eyes and saw that they were still falling rapidly. The dizziness made her quickly close her eyes again. Her fear never stopped. Feeling Dongfang Yifei's warm body temperature, Nangong Ziyan was very grateful to him, and her fear lessened a lot. She never expected that he would jump down to save her without regard for his own safety.
"Yan'er, are you alright?" As if sensing her unease, he worried that she might be injured or in pain.
"Yifei, I, I'm fine, I'm just afraid of heights." Nangong Ziyan clung tightly to Dongfang Yifei and said spinelessly.
Watching her actions, Dongfang Yifei suddenly felt an inexplicable joy. At this moment, he didn't feel like he was on the verge of death. Her unconscious dependence made him feel great! This was the first time since he was born that he had felt so happy to see someone depend on him.
