"What's wrong with you? There's still some Black Dragon in Cheng Gui Pavilion's hands, and our people haven't captured him! This corpse of A Cai's is clearly not the work of our members; it's definitely a slander!"
"This pot really fell from the sky. Now that Young Master Zhou has gone to see that fake Pavilion Master, won't this cause some misunderstandings?" Ziyan quickly stepped forward, her expression a mixture of worry and anger.
Cheng Xianyi clearly didn't take Ziyan's words to heart.
She pursed her lips, shook her head, and walked to the closed wooden box.
Fearing that the gruesome state of the corpse would frighten Cheng Xianyi a second time, Zhou Cheng carefully closed the wooden box before leaving and pushed it into Zhou Shiying's room.
Cheng Xianyi lifted the wooden box and stood still with a calm gaze.
His eyes fell on Acai's corpse...
No,
To be precise, it landed on the broken half of the hand bone.
"Tell me, what kind of powerful weapon could break bones in the middle? Even the length, position, cut, and fracture groove are all so coincidental and ingenious." Cheng Xianyi lowered her eyes.
He stretched out his hands and gestured towards the bone.
It really is... exactly the same.
Ziyan looked puzzled, and replied with a hint of anxiety, "Practice makes perfect, right? Master, the problem isn't bones and incisions, it's someone impersonating us to sow discord!"
Cheng Xianyi suddenly realized: "Practice makes perfect... So that's how it is."
"Three inches and one centimeter."
"A heavy weapon will only shatter the bones."
"But if, at the moment of impact, a bit of internal energy is inadvertently carried, the power will be concentrated in one place, and the impact will land on the ground. It is exactly like this fracture..... It is so similar."
At this moment,
It seems that Cheng Xianyi's eyes cannot tolerate anything.
She gently squatted down, reached out, and picked up the broken half of her hand bone. Her fingertips slid over the bone inch by inch, and memories that had been suppressed for many years and were almost forgotten suddenly burst forth, rushing straight into her mind.
Four hundred and ninety years ago.
Early winter of the 13th year of the Ning Dynasty.
The first female crown prince of the Ning Dynasty has appeared. At that time, the Nanyue Academy made a prophecy that if the female crown prince could live past the age of twenty-four, she would have a very high chance of inheriting the throne.
Unify the Central Plains and achieve hegemony over the world.
Unfortunately, she did not live to be twenty-four. In the early winter not long after, she committed suicide for her country for reasons unknown.
From then on,
A peerless genius has fallen.
The reasons for her death are not recorded in historical records, and it remains an unsolved mystery to this day.
So many years have passed...
The rights and wrongs of that year have long been forgotten with the passage of time, but Cheng Xianyi can't forget the half of her bloody hand bone that she personally dug out from under the locust tree.
I can't forget it!
I can't forget how she searched the entire Central Plains, exhausting all her power, and in the end, all she found was the secret that her beloved had been murdered, his body mutilated and scattered across the world!
She had no idea which force was behind it all, managing to hide it so perfectly without leaving a trace!
She had no idea why the other party would be so cruel as to take away what she loved!
That year,
She frantically searched for a way to save him. She had never believed in gods or Buddhas before, but now she burned incense every day, praying to save people and do good deeds, just to gain some empty merit.
