"Yifei, Yan'er is fine. How about you? Have you encountered anything strange?" Nangong Ziyan asked calmly.
"Yan'er, the strangest thing that has ever happened to me is that you are right behind me, but when I turn around you you are gone. I have to look for you everywhere, and the wound on my waist is about to burst open."
Dongfang Yifei spoke in his usual tone, saying that today's events were very uncertain. He didn't know whether he had come because of Nangong Ziyan or because of himself. It was best not to let Nangong Ziyan know about this. The person he was dealing with was Beiming Haotian. If Nangong Ziyan found out, it would be detrimental to him.
"Then where have you been looking for me? I've been waiting for you here for so long, and I haven't heard you call out. Don't you need to call out when looking for someone?" Nangong Ziyan lied without batting an eye. She knew that Dongfang Yifei was good at hiding his true feelings, and he was definitely not telling the truth. The expression she saw on his face just now was not one of worry for her, but one of deep thought. He must have encountered something she couldn't have imagined.
"Who said I didn't call out? My voice is almost hoarse from calling, but where did you go? I know I can't find you anywhere."
Dongfang Yifei looked at Nangong Ziyan with an innocent expression. Nangong Ziyan's expression was calm, so he couldn't guess what she had just encountered. The only thing he was sure of was that she had entered the barrier before him.
"Okay! I didn't hear you shout, and you shouted but I didn't hear you, so we're even."
Nangong Ziyan forced a smile and walked out of the cave. She had to get out quickly; Haotian, her parents, and her brothers must be very worried. She suddenly remembered that she hadn't seen Feiping and Feifan for two days. They had been secretly protecting her, and she could sense their presence at any time. But these past two days, she seemed to have been too busy and neglected them. The more she thought about it, the stranger it seemed. If Feiping and Feifan had something to do and needed to leave, they would have told her. But this time… she had to get out quickly. However, she wouldn't reveal the method of the Bottomless Cliff first. She was waiting, waiting to see what method Dongfang Yifei could use. If he used the same method as hers, it meant that Dongfang Yifei had obtained the secret manual of Wutian and formed a contract with the Black Dragon.
"Yan'er, it's too late. Let's rest for the night and figure out a way to get out at dawn," Dongfang Yifei said softly. Although he already knew how to get out of the Bottomless Cliff, he didn't want to go out tonight. He wanted to talk to her. If she changed her mind, everything would be fine. If she still insisted on marrying Beiming Haotian, then he would have no choice but to kill Beiming Haotian. He always firmly believed that he would strive to get what he wanted. If he wanted to do it, there was nothing he couldn't do.
“Yifei, there’s no time to rest now. My mother and your mother must be worried sick. You know Madam Dongfang’s temper. With her temper, she must be very worried about you.”
Speaking of this, Nangong Ziyan became worried about Dongfang Yifei. She wondered if he could bear the blow when he learned about his true identity, since Nanmaning also had her own agenda and plans.
"Yan'er, it's just for one night..."
"Yan'er, where are you? Yan'er...."
Before Dongfang Yifei could finish speaking, Beiming Haotian's anxious and terrified cries came from outside.
Upon hearing this, Nangong Ziyan was so excited that she didn't know what to do and hurriedly ran outside.
Dongfang Yifei, however, had a gloomy expression. He glared at Nangong Ziyan's back with his body hunched over, his fists clenched tightly. Beiming Haotian, that persistent ghost, always seemed to be working against him at crucial moments.
"Haotian, Yan'er is here, here!" Nangong Ziyan jumped and waved at the entrance of the cave. Then she thought for a moment and realized that it was dark and Haotian probably couldn't see her, so she raised the luminous pearl higher.
"Yan'er." Upon seeing Guang Beiming Haotian, he immediately flew to her side and embraced her tightly. She hadn't left him; she was alright. He had been wondering how she could have abandoned him! She was his Yan'er, his Yan'er who would stay by his side for life! Beiming Haotian closed his eyes excitedly, savoring the fullness in his arms. This feeling of having regained what he had lost was indescribable.
"Haotian." Nangong Ziyan hugged him tightly, overjoyed, but a tear silently slid down her cheek. How worried he must have been about her!
"Yan'er, I knew you'd be alright, I just knew it." Bei Ming Haotian still held her tightly, the fear in his heart had not completely subsided... He was terrified, terrified of losing her...
"Haotian..." Nangong Ziyan struggled, but he held her so tightly that she couldn't breathe.
"Yan'er, let me hold you a little longer." He was just afraid of losing her! Bei Ming Haotian hugged her tightly again, acting domineeringly.
"Haotian, you're choking me to death!"
Upon hearing this, Bei Ming Haotian abruptly released her and met her eyes: "Nonsense! You are never allowed to say that word again, do you hear me!"
Nangong Ziyan was stunned for a moment, then her eyes widened. "Haotian, Yan'er is alright! Look, Yan'er is so lucky. She fell from such a height and didn't get hurt at all. It's just that Yifei hurt his back while saving me." Nangong Ziyan held out her hands for Beiming Haotian to see, afraid that he would worry.
Bei Ming Haotian frowned. She had a natural ability to heal wounds quickly, so even if he wanted to see it, he couldn't!
Bei Ming Haotian took her delicate hand in his, reluctant to let go, a pang of pain shooting through his heart. Someone so afraid of heights must have been terrified! How frightened she must have been!
Nangong Ziyan looked up at her, and she understood his heart! No matter how weak and frail she became, in his heart, she would always be the one he loved most. She had thought that even if she didn't die, she would be half-crippled, but now it seemed that heaven was still on her side.
