"Xiao Nian, where is the Demon Lord? Has he returned yet?" Baili Yuechan had sent Xiao Nian out to inquire about Bei Ming Haotian's whereabouts, which was why he had to wait until dark. His biggest worry was that his master would harm him.
"Your Highness... the Demon Lord has returned. Bei Ming Yaowei is dead, his son Baili Yuehen is missing, and Nangong Ziyan and Young Master Dongfang have fallen off the Bottomless Cliff, their fates unknown. The Demon Lord, who had already returned to the Young Master's residence, rushed back to the edge of the Bottomless Cliff. When I returned, I saw Young Master Hua leading Nangong Ziyan's family and Tian Haoze to the edge of the Bottomless Cliff. There is still no news from there. Young Master Dongfang's family learned that he had also fallen off the cliff, and City Lord Dongfang and Madam Dongfang have also rushed there. I will inform Your Highness immediately as soon as there is any news."
"Great! That's wonderful!" Baili Yuechan excitedly stood up from his chair, his face beaming with excitement.
"The two people I hate the most have both fallen off the cliff at the same time, their fates unknown. It's truly gratifying. No one has ever gone down the bottomless cliff on Lingxian Island. Falling down there means certain death."
“Princess, not necessarily. Nangong Ziyan is the medicinal ingredient the Imperial Advisor needs, so she has a certain value. Didn’t the Imperial Advisor also calculate that Nangong Ziyan has an extraordinary destiny? Moreover, the Imperial Advisor said that Nangong Ziyan is protected by the amethyst jade, so I’m afraid…”
"What are you afraid of? No news is good news. It means he's incredibly lucky. Falling from such a height, he'd be half-crippled anyway." Baili Yuechan excitedly interrupted Xiao Nian.
Xiao Nian immediately lowered her head, not daring to say anything more, knowing the consequences of continuing to speak.
"Go, go and gather more information. If you find any news about Nangong Ziyan and Dongfang Yifei, come back and tell me immediately."
Baili Yuechan sat back in her chair, her breathing suddenly becoming rapid, her eyes instantly changing color. Oh no, Dongfang Yifei wasn't here tonight, but Baili Yuechan had been trying her best to hold back in front of Xiao Nian.
Although Xiao Nian sensed something was wrong, she just assumed she was too angry and didn't pay any attention, turning around and leaving.
After Baili Jun'ao came out of Baili Yuechan's room and met up with Hong Yiming, Hong Yiming told him what had happened. Then, he glanced deeply into the direction of the Bottomless Cliff and led Hong Yiming toward it.
"Dongfang Yifei, you bastard!" Baili Yuechan stumbled into her spatial ring. She needed to relieve the heat inside her body, otherwise, she would suffer terribly tonight.
At the edge of the bottomless cliff, the two families were as anxious as ants on a hot pan, especially Nan Manying and Sima Jiaorong, who were both worried and helpless. Dongfang Yifei was their only son! All their hopes were pinned on their son.
"Sima Jiaorong, your daughter is a jinx, a scourge. She could have just fallen off the cliff herself. Why did you make my Fei'er go down with her? If anything happens to my Fei'er, I, Nanman Ning, swear I will never let the South China Sea Glazed Palace off the hook."
Nanman was so angry that she spoke recklessly, sat on the ground without any regard for her image, and kept sobbing.
Sima Jiaorong listened silently, tears streaming down her face. She had nothing to say. Dongfang Yifei had indeed fallen off the cliff while trying to save Yan'er. All she could do now was pray that they would both be safe.
Just as Nangong Jingqi was about to speak up, Nangong Ruichen quickly stopped him, signaling with his eyes that he should not speak.
Nangong Jingqi pouted in resentment and glared at Nan Manning. Since she dared to call their Yan'er a jinx, he felt uneasy if he didn't say something to her. But his older brother... sigh! Oh well, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future.
"Haotian must have gone down by himself; there are marks he left here," Tian Haoze said, looking at the scratches on the ground, his heart beginning to pound with apprehension.
