Zuan had to admire her. As expected of a powerful person who had lived for countless years, she saw the crux of the problem directly. Although he had vaguely thought about these issues before, he had not been as clear as she had. Now it seemed that the key point was Yang Guo.
He asked Tingxue, "Do you have any clues about where they might have gone?"
Tingxue shook her head slightly: "I have never met them since I came into this world. All I know about them are memories."
Zuan: "..."
This couple really knows how to completely wash their hands of the business.
So the group had no choice but to ask Huang Rong for help, hoping to find the couple through the Beggars' Sect's intelligence network.
Huang Rong was greatly surprised upon hearing this and stared at Yan Hua with suspicion.
Zu'an knew that she had misunderstood again that her daughter couldn't let go of Yang Guo, so he had to explain: "Tingxue has something very important she wants to talk to her parents about."
Huang Rong couldn't help but smile, assuming that the young couple wanted to confirm their status with Yang Guo and his wife.
Overwhelmed with emotion, she realized that Yang Guo was her nephew. How would their generation be determined when the two families became in-laws?
Of course, in these chaotic times, there's no time to worry about that, especially since she's been extremely satisfied with her daughter-in-law, Tingxue, lately.
So they invited the Beggars' Sect's intelligence-gathering disciple, but Yang Guo and Xiaolongnu were rarely seen, so the Beggars' Sect could only find a few places where they had appeared some time ago.
Zuan was relieved; having a clue was better than having none. Their appearances were so distinctive that it shouldn't be difficult to find out more about them by asking around in the area.
So he bid farewell to Huang Rong. Yan Hua originally wanted to go with him, but Huang Rong kept him behind: "Xiang'er, there are still many details about the Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber plan that I need to discuss with you."
She was clearly afraid that her daughter would fall deeply in love with Yang Guo and still be unable to forget him.
It was a tragic situation to begin with. If she really found Yang Guo, then one of the siblings would marry their father and the other would marry the other's daughter.
This is outrageous!
Fireworks was actually aware of her thoughts. She didn't want to pay attention to it at first, but then she thought that the Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber Project did need someone to keep an eye on it.
Moreover, she also needed to establish the Emei Sect, which required a lot of preliminary preparation, so she agreed to stay.
Before parting, he quietly pulled Zu'an aside and said, "Seize the opportunity and get Tingxue pregnant during this time."
Zuan: "???"
Seeing the other person's surprised and speechless look, Fireworks was also a little annoyed: "Why are you pretending to be innocent with me?"
"I really didn't mean that. Besides, why aren't you jealous?"
"Don't worry, I'm a very magnanimous woman. Besides, her child is crucial to whether we can pass the trial. You wouldn't want her to have a child with another man, would you?"
Zuan's heart skipped a beat, and the thought of that possibility did indeed cause him a pang of heartache.
Seeing his reaction, Fireworks smiled: "You two are destined to be together. Tingxue also has feelings for you. It all depends on your charm."
...
After leaving Xiangyang, Tingxue hesitated several times before finally asking, "What did Yanhua say to you when you left?"
Zuan laughed: "You used to be indifferent to these things."
Tingxue was taken aback, then nodded and said, "That's right. After coming to this world, I found that I have gained a lot of human emotions."
"You are originally human. The path of chaos abandons all emotions, which is really against the laws of nature. Now that you have this opportunity, why don't you try to give up the path of chaos?"
“I don’t know why I chose this path in the first place, but there must have been a reason.” Tingxue was clearly not distracted by him. “You still haven’t answered my question.”
"Don't be angry when I tell you."
"Why am I angry? Actually, before I came into this world, I had already forgotten what anger was."
"She told me to hurry up and get you pregnant."
"!!!"
"You said you wouldn't get angry, oh no, don't hit me!"
...
The two of them searched for the places provided by the Beggars' Sect, asking around along the way. They found it difficult to find any trace of Yang Guo and Xiaolongnü, but they could tell that they stayed in each place for a very short time and were in a hurry as they went further and further.
They eventually lost all clues in a small town, and the two had to take out a map to figure out where to go next.
Tingxue glanced at the nearest route and suddenly exclaimed, "Don't you think they're heading towards the ancient tomb in Zhongnan Mountain?"
Zuan's eyes lit up as he connected the routes he had taken recently, and the destination did indeed seem to be an ancient tomb.
"Could it be that they got tired of playing outside and had a change of heart, wanting to come and see their daughter?"
"I don't remember them being like this. I have a bad feeling about this. I'd better go back to the ancient tomb and check it out."
"Alright!" Zu'an's smile faded, a hint of unease creeping into his heart. What was the purpose of their hurried departure?
The two then traveled day and night, and after half a month they finally returned to the ancient tomb.
To their disappointment, however, there was no one in the tomb.
"Something's not right. Someone has been in the ancient tomb." Tingxue quickly sensed something was wrong and went to her room, where she found a letter left there.
She hurriedly opened it, and her expression changed instantly after reading it.
"What's wrong?" Zu'an asked with concern.
Tingxue handed him the letter expressionlessly, and Zu'an's heart sank when he saw it.
This is a letter Yang Guo wrote to his daughter. It turns out that back then, Xiaolongnu suffered various injuries and was poisoned. In addition, her original essence was damaged when she practiced martial arts on the Cold Jade Bed in her early years. At first, she did not feel it because of her profound power. It was not until she gave birth to her child that her physical condition declined precipitously.
The reason Yang Guo took her all over the country over the years was twofold: first, to search for various medicinal herbs to treat her illness, and second, to find warm places to recuperate her body.
Unfortunately, human effort could not reverse fate. Xiaolongnu's health suddenly deteriorated recently, and knowing that her days were numbered, she thought of returning to her roots.
After all, according to the traditions of the Ancient Tomb Sect, the founder, the master, and other such people all rest in peace in the ancient tomb.
Yang Guo suppressed his grief and hurriedly took her back to the Ancient Tomb.
Xiaolongnu persevered all the way, but unfortunately she didn't see Tingxue when she returned. In addition, she had fulfilled her wish when she returned to the Ancient Tomb, and then she passed away suddenly.
Unable to bear the grief, Yang Guo committed suicide to sleep in the same coffin as his wife.
Before his death, he wrote a will expressing his apology to Tingxue and leaving behind his martial arts experience over the years, hoping that Tingxue would learn it to protect herself in the future.
The two rushed to the room in the ancient tomb where the stone coffin was placed, and only when they saw the couple still embracing each other after death did they realize that it was all real.
Zaun's mind was in turmoil. What happened? Why did they die?
What happens to the plot after they die?
Are all our previous deductions wrong? Or is this trial world orchestrated by other true gods, destined to be unsolvable?
Tingxue stood by the stone coffin, lost in thought. Although she was only their daughter in name in this world, she could not hide her grief, and two lines of tears streamed down her face.
So this is what joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness feel like.
Overwhelmed with emotion, she coughed up a mouthful of blood and fainted.
