After repeating this several times, Mu Nanxun finally closed his eyes and lifted the white cloth.
Beneath the white sheet lay a corpse, lying silently.
Although it was said to be a corpse, it had been burned beyond recognition by the fire, and without careful examination, it would be impossible to tell whether the corpse was actually human.
More than that... completely unrecognizable!
"How dare you! You claim this corpse, which is completely unrecognizable, as the young mistress's? How audacious!"
His voice trembled as he spoke. The louder his voice, the more it revealed his guilt.
"Young master, please take a look at this."
Qingyun handed the things in her hand to Mu Nanxun.
It's a ring.
Mu Nanxun's hands trembled completely.
He recognized the ring; it was the wedding ring he gave to Yi Yi. "Forever Love" was also the one Yi Yi always wore.
He finally lost control and squatted on the ground, as if his soul had been ripped out, leaving him completely devoid of energy.
Qingyun was also somewhat moved, and her eyes reddened.
"Young Master, your most important thing right now is to take care of yourself. The dead cannot be brought back to life, so please accept my condolences."
Mu Nanxun just stared blankly at the corpse on the ground, his eyes unfocused, muttering something to himself.
He wouldn't listen to a word of his subordinates' advice, and his legs were almost unsteady.
"Young Master, Young Master, please don't do this."
"Boss, I'm sorry, it's all my fault for not protecting the young mistress properly. Please don't be like this, you'll collapse if you keep acting like this."
No matter what others said, Mu Nanxun remained unmoved.
“How could it be Yi Yi? It can’t be, it can’t be… I won’t believe this is Yi Yi just because of this disfigured corpse. I don’t believe it… I don’t believe it.”
Suddenly, Mu Nanxun sprang to his feet, shaking off his subordinates' support. Supporting his swaying body, he quickly walked forward, muttering to himself...
"Yi Yi, Yi Yi is still waiting for me in Black Mountain Valley. I have to find her! She must be so scared being all alone here. Yi Yi, don't be afraid, I'm coming... I'm coming!"
By the time Qingyun and the others reacted, Mu Nanxun had already walked quite a distance.
"Young Master, don't go. The Young Madam is no longer here!"
"Young Master..."
But Mu Nanxun did not respond and continued walking forward as if nothing had happened.
He could no longer hear anyone's voice, nor could he even sense that he was still alive. Like a walking corpse, he just kept walking forward without caring about anything else.
"Young Master, please don't blame me for being impolite!"
Qingyun jogged a few steps and caught up with Mu Nanxun. He then delivered a heavy blow to the back of Mu Nanxun's head!
"you……"
Mu Nanxun swayed a few times, turned to face Qingyun, and quickly collapsed.
"Qingyun, what's wrong with you...?"
"Stop talking nonsense and send a signal to take the young master back for treatment. He's practically dead."
Qingyun helped Mu Nanxun up and gave orders to the two men in black behind him.
"Then, what about the young mistress's body?!"
"Take them back with you! We'll await your judgment, sir."
...
When Mu Nanxun woke up from his coma again, it was a month later.
Actually, his injuries weren't very serious, but he lay in bed for a month before waking up.
When I opened my eyes, I saw an antique-style ceiling above me, with a simple yet elegant chandelier hanging quietly.
Although he had been sleeping for a month, he still felt very tired and wanted to close his eyes and take another nap.
