Nangong Ziyan thought to herself happily, and acted quickly because of her feelings.
"Yifei, hurry up, let's go inside the cave."
Dongfang Yifei had no idea why Nangong Ziyan was so excited to see the cave, but it seemed difficult for him to get into the cave right now, as his injured area was still very painful.
Nangong Ziyan took several steps and then looked back at Dongfang Yifei. Seeing Dongfang Yifei's pale face, she remembered that he was still injured.
"It's all because of you. Look at me, I can barely walk now." There was a hint of complaint in his voice as Dongfang Yifei pointed to his injury.
"I'm sorry, Yifei, I forgot." Nangong Ziyan's lips curled slightly. "But you haven't spoken to me with this expression in a long time. I still prefer your silly self."
Nangong Ziyan stood there waiting for Dongfang Yifei, not forgetting to look at him with a mocking smile.
"Can't you talk about something else? Why do you keep bringing up the past?" Dongfang Yifei tapped her smooth, full forehead. The past was vivid in his mind. They used to be so happy when they were foolishly together. But now? There was Bei Ming Haotian between them. Here, they could laugh and talk like before, but once they were out of this valley, he would go back to being himself. He had his own life to live, but his life had to include her.
"Ouch! Where did you hit me? That hurts!" Nangong Ziyan gave him a reproachful look, but she was actually happy inside, thankfully he was alright.
"The wound really hurts." Nangong Ziyan walked behind him and touched the wound. It shouldn't be like this! The potion she concocted was indeed renowned. Although it still hurt a little, it wasn't as serious as he described!
"It hurts so much, why are you still poking me?" Dongfang Yifei cried out in pain, and Nangong Ziyan quickly removed her hand.
"Really? What should we do?" Nangong Ziyan was so frightened that she couldn't care about anything else. She hurriedly stepped forward and pretended to unbutton his clothes to check his injuries. The wound on his back was too deep.
Dongfang Yifei frowned slightly, looking somewhat weak, but he still managed a smug smile, saying meaningfully, "With Yan'er's concern, even the pain is worth it..."
Bai Xiaoyan was taken aback, then laughed: "Yifei! Are you perhaps delirious from the pain and trying to amuse me? Do you remember how you were almost scared to death when you were trapped in a tree by a monster on Mount Wu? Ah!"
The woman glared at him and brought up an embarrassing incident from someone's past.
"Hmph!" Dongfang Yifei glared at her resentfully. Did she really want to talk about that matter? That was the most tragic thing he had ever experienced as a man.
"You still say it's all your fault."
"Hehe!" Nangong Ziyan chuckled, thinking to herself how wonderful it would be if they could maintain this relationship even after they left the bottom of the cliff. She could happily be with Haotian, and Yifei could put aside his ambitions and live out his life properly.
Seeing Nangong Ziyan smile, the atmosphere became more relaxed.
On the cliff, Sima Jiaorong and Nangong Yuze anxiously looked down.
Nangong Jingqi and Nangong Ruichen were planning to climb down with their bare hands. They circled around but couldn't find a way down.
At this moment, Tian Haoze and Hua Nongying also rushed over.
"Palace Master Nangong, where are the two young masters?"
Upon arrival, Hua Nongying asked anxiously.
"Are they down there?" Sima Jiaorong pointed to a place where only two dark figures could be seen.
"Tell them to come up quickly! This is a bottomless abyss. No one has ever gone down here before. Moreover, a poisonous barrier rises from the center of the cliff after sunset, and it's currently spreading like wildfire." Hua Nongying said urgently, regretting that he had left in a huff earlier that day. Otherwise, Yan'er wouldn't have been in danger, and he wouldn't have risked his life to let her fall off the bottomless abyss.
"Oh dear! What should we do? What should we do about Yan'er!" Sima Jiaorong stamped her feet anxiously.
"Ruichen, Jingqi, come up quickly, we'll think of another way."
Tian Haoze infused his voice with spiritual energy, allowing Nangong Jingqi and Nangong Ruichen to hear his shouts.
"Big brother, should we go up first?"
Upon hearing the voice, Nangong Jingqi asked.
Nangong Ruichen looked at the sky, then at the bracelet in his hand. The bracelet was still emitting a purple light, which proved that Yan'er was alright.
“Let’s go up first. It must be Nongying who’s here. Let’s ask him if there’s any other way down. The bottom of this cliff seems very deep. I just tried to probe it, but I couldn’t even measure its depth. Doing this might just waste our time.”
"Ah! Brother, if you knew it would be a waste of time, then why did we come down here in the first place?"
Nangong Jingqi was speechless. Now they had to climb back up, which was going to be quite a struggle!
"Isn't it because we were worried about Yan'er? And Nongying didn't show up in time." Nangong Ruichen ignored his younger brother's complaints and started climbing...
At the bottom of the cliff, Nangong Ziyan exerted tremendous effort, using all her meager cultivation to bring Dongfang Yifei to the cave entrance.
"Alright, I'm exhausted. You're such a heavy man." Nangong Ziyan plopped down on the ground, giving Dongfang Yifei a reproachful look, then her eyes kept scanning her surroundings.
"Hehe!" Dongfang Yifei chuckled a few times, feeling very sorry for him as he looked at him panting heavily.
"Get up, this isn't the time to chat. It's windy here, we should go inside the cave. You were so excited earlier because you wanted to go in and take a look, weren't you?"
Dongfang Yifei also understood that they needed to find a way out. When they were falling, he clearly sensed the presence of poisonous energy at the bottom of the cliff.
