Nangong Ziyan looked at him gratefully. He was always so considerate, unable to bear seeing her even slightly uncomfortable.
“Yes! Habits are terrible. Yan’er will always be grateful for Venerable Yunxiao’s kindness.”
“Yan’er, if you think this way, your master will be very happy if he is watching from heaven. He always gave so much for us in silence. His greatest wish was to see us live peacefully. Now, he can rest in peace.”
Bei Ming Haotian also looked up at the starry sky. The twinkling stars were like his master's kind smile.
"Haotian, let's go back! I hope Master can get out of his grief soon."
For now, this is all we can do. Venerable Yunxiao is dead, that's a fact. Those of us who are still alive can't do anything but accept it.
"Yes! It's chilly outside, so it's good to go back! As for Master Nanxing, Yan'er, don't worry! Tomorrow morning, he'll be all smiles in front of everyone, with Lele and Yi'er by his side. He'll get better soon."
Bei Ming Haotian embraced her, and their tall figures disappeared into the moonlight.
The two had just returned to their room when they heard hurried footsteps outside.
"Knock knock...!"
The urgent knocking made Bei Minghaotian frown.
Nangong Ziyan's heart suddenly tightened.
"What is it?"
Bei Ming Haotian asked in a cold voice.
"Haotian, something bad has happened! Dongfang Yifei has led his men to attack the city overnight, and there are also some controlled demonic beasts and monsters running rampant in the city, killing anyone they see. The situation is urgent, and we must go and stop him immediately."
Tian Haoze's voice was filled with anger as he spoke urgently.
"Haoze, you take your men and go ahead. I'll be there soon."
"Alright! Haotian, remember to leave someone behind to protect Yan'er."
Before leaving, Tian Haoze made sure to give these instructions.
"How could Yifei...?"
Nangong Ziyan didn't expect him to act so quickly.
"Yan'er, you stay here and are not allowed to go anywhere, understand?"
Bei Ming Haotian's biggest worry right now is her.
"No, Haotian, I'll go with you! If Yifei sees me, maybe he won't be so crazy."
Nangong Ziyan understood that when Dongfang Yifei saw her die, what he wanted was perhaps no longer the world.
Bei Ming Haotian stared at her intently, a fleeting emotion in his eyes that only he could understand.
"No, Dongfang Yifei is out of his mind when he absorbs people's cultivation, and he will hurt you."
Bei Ming Haotian still wouldn't allow it, gripping her shoulders tightly with both hands. Didn't she understand his worries? Dongfang Yifei's strength had increased greatly; if he was careless, he would regret it deeply.
"Haotian, you don't understand. What Yifei wants now may not be the world, but revenge."
Although her father had told her that in this life, one of them, Dongfang Yifei, would have to kill someone, she still hoped in her heart that neither of them would die. She looked forward to the day when Yifei would suddenly realize his mistakes and become the Dongfang Yifei he used to be. But now, thinking about it, fate is just so cruel, and they were powerless to change it.
"Revenge?" Bei Ming Haotian's eyes widened in surprise. Was it revenge for losing her? But none of that mattered anymore. What mattered was that she was already by his side.
Seeing her insistence, Bei Ming Haotian, despite his refusal, nodded in agreement.
"Okay! But you have to promise me that you will never leave my side for even a moment."
"Where else can I go? Where you are, that's my world. In my heart, having you is having everything."
Nangong Ziyan raised her eyes and said with tenderness.
It must be said that her words instantly delighted Bei Minghaotian, a faint smile appearing on his lips, and his doubts vanished in an instant.
"It's the same in my heart. Wherever you are, that's my world. Having you is like having everything."
Bei Ming Haotian gazed at her with deep, affectionate eyes, his deep red eyes giving him the motivation to do anything as long as she was by his side.
"Haotian, let's go!"
The affection between them was unspoken in their eyes.
The two had just come downstairs when they ran into each other's parents, as well as Tian Nanxing, who hadn't been there the day before.
"master."
Nangong Ziyan cried out guiltily, "The death of Venerable Yunxiao was a huge blow to Master. Master looks very haggard."
"Girl, why don't you stay inside and rest? What are you doing out here?"
Seeing the guilt on her face, Tian Nanxing felt a pang of sadness. She and his senior brother were both people he didn't want to lose, but he was one of them. He felt a mix of discomfort in his heart.
Tian Nanxing's concern made Nangong Ziyan feel even more guilty.
"Master, Yan'er is out of danger."
"That's good! Dongfang Yifei launched a surprise attack on Youdu City, and Master wanted to go help. Haoze has already led his men there, and the two boys from the Nangong family went with him. We're waiting here for Haotian to go together. Girl, you don't want to go too, do you?"
Tian Nanxing seemed to have returned to his usual tone. He didn't want Yan'er to live with guilt. After all, it was her senior brother's choice, and Yan'er had done nothing wrong.
"Master, Yan'er is worried and wants to go with you to see what's going on, but don't worry, Master, Yan'er will stay by Haotian's side and won't run around."
Nangong Ziyan hurriedly assured him. How could she not know her master's concerns? She would not let Master Yunxiao risk the life he had risked his own.
"That's good!"
Tian Nanxing nodded, his heavy heart making it impossible for him to smile.
