Wuguzi deliberately lured Dongfang Yifei away. He wouldn't tell him about today's plan, as his obsession with Nangong Ziyan would only make things worse if he went.
"Good! In less than ten days, I, Dongfang Yifei, will definitely be able to contend with Beiming Haotian."
Dongfang Yifei twitched the corner of his mouth and turned to leave.
After Dongfang Yifei left, Ximen Qingtian came out.
"Grand Preceptor, why did you conceal this from Fei'er? And why did you only tell me about today's actions and not Fei'er?"
Ximen Qingtian's face was somewhat gloomy. Was he truly thinking of Fei'er's best interests?
"Lord Ximen is truly doting on his son. If we let him go today, it will be impossible for him to obtain the Seven Eternal Jade. He and Nangong Ziyan have an inextricable karmic connection from their past lives. His going will only cause trouble. Moreover, does the Lord want to make the fact that Dongfang Yifei is your son the talk of the town? Now is not the time to reveal his identity. The Demon Subduing Instantaneous Heart Technique is very powerful. Only after he has truly mastered the Demon Subduing Instantaneous Heart Technique can he learn about this matter. The Qihe Dynasty, along with the Western Sea Continent and the Eastern Sea Continent, is enough for him to contend with Beiming Haotian."
"The Imperial Advisor's considerations are thorough; it was my oversight. So, how should we resolve today's matter?"
One of them will have to go to the Cliff of Heartbreak!
"Didn't we already discuss it last night? We both want Yifei to gain the world, so it doesn't matter who goes. According to the time, Nangong Ziyan is riding the Azure Phoenix and is almost at the Cliff of Heartbreak. The City Lord should also set off. Now that Beiming Haotian is no longer obstructing us, whether we can get the Seven Jade of Eternity depends on the City Lord's ability."
Wuguzi spoke casually, his hands crossed in front of him, gently clasped together. He didn't need to waste his energy on using others when he could.
A flash of displeasure crossed Ximen Qingtian's eyes. He knew that Wuguzi would send him away, making him seem like their benefactor. But thinking about it, Yifei was, after all, the child of him and the woman he loved most. Over the years, all he had secretly arranged was to make Fei'er a person of high status, so that he wouldn't be confined to the position of a small city lord in the Eastern Continent forever.
"Grand Preceptor, just wait for my good news!"
Ximen Qingtian quickly disappeared from the room.
Sima Jiaorong and Nangong Yuze got up early in the morning. Because they were worried about Nangong Ziyan, the couple washed up and went to see her.
Upon entering, the bed was in disarray, and Nangong Ziyan was nowhere to be seen.
"Where is Yan'er? Why isn't she in her room?"
Sima Jiaorong panicked when she saw the empty room.
"Jiaorong, don't rush, maybe..."
Nangong Yuze spotted the note on the dressing table with sharp eyes, strode over, and quickly took it down to read it.
"Oh no! Someone has kidnapped Qi'er and taken her to the Cliff of Heartbreak, threatening Yan'er to exchange her for the Seven Eternal Jades."
Nangong Yuze clutched the note tightly in his hand, his face filled with sorrow. The thing he feared had come to pass.
"Did Yan'er go to the Cliff of Heartbreak alone?"
Sima Jiaorong's voice trembled as she said, "Please, please don't let it be as you guessed."
"The note said that Yan'er should go alone and not tell anyone, otherwise Qi'er's life would be in danger."
"Father, Mother, how is Yan'er?"
Nangong Ruichen, Tian Haoze, and Hua Nongying also got up early in the morning to visit Nangong Ziyan.
"Chen'er, Haoze, and Yan'er went to the Cliff of Heartbreak to rescue Qi'er alone."
"What? The Valley of Heartbreak?"
Tian Haoze was instantly stunned. The Cliff of Heartbreak was no ordinary place.
"Nongying hasn't returned yet. Could something have happened to him too?"
Nangong Ruichen was somewhat worried.
"No matter who is in trouble now, we must go to the Cliff of Heartbreak immediately. That place is no ordinary place. With Yan'er's constitution, she simply cannot withstand the temperature there. The Cliff of Heartbreak is always bitterly cold and has an unusually large number of poisonous snakes."
Tian Haoze was getting anxious.
