Cheng Huaiyu's hands drooped slowly, as if they were bound with countless sandbags, and her eyelids seemed to be closing as well.
Bai Yi interpreted Cheng Huaiyu's sign language, her voice choked with emotion, and Bai Jiu shed tears.
Gu Yingxue hugged Cheng Huaiyu, trembling all over: "Sister, sister..."
Cheng Huaiyu was completely unable to lift her hand. She looked at Gu Yingxue and slowly closed her eyes.
"elder sister!"
Gu Yingxue burst into tears.
The woman in white stood up, turned her head, and wiped away her tears.
At this moment, Cheng Huaijin, who was in the Kingdom of Goz, was summoned to the arena by the Great General of Goz to fight. He was originally in a commanding position, but suddenly, he felt a sharp pain in his heart, his vision went white, and he fainted.
General Goz was terrified. He didn't notice anything amiss with Cheng Huaijin. His sword was coming straight at him, and he almost lost control.
General Gortz threw down his sword to check on Cheng Huaijin's condition, and then the people below the arena came up and carried Cheng Huaijin into the palace.
King Gorz summoned the best physician in the palace, who examined the patient and found nothing wrong.
But Cheng Huaijin couldn't have fallen down on purpose while he was sparring with someone!
...
"Miss Xue'er, you need to make a decision as soon as possible. This isn't a solution for Miss Cheng." The woman in white looked at Gu Yingxue, who had been kneeling beside Cheng Huaiyu's body for a day, and advised her.
During this time, Gu Yingxue had cried all her tears out; she couldn't shed any more. She was completely dazed and confused.
She remained kneeling as if she hadn't heard Bai Yi's words, looking at Cheng Huaiyu with a serene expression.
"Miss Xue'er, shall we follow Miss Cheng's last wish? Shall we take her body back to the Great Zhou, or..." the white-robed man asked again.
Gu Yingxue remained silent.
"Miss Xue'er, are you planning to go and keep Miss Cheng company by not eating or drinking? Have you forgotten what she asked you to do before she died? Are you not going to take care of her son? She didn't even get to say sorry to her parents in person before she died, and you're not going to help her convey that message? Her brother hasn't found his sister-in-law yet, and you're not going to take care of that either?" The woman in white sighed, sat down on the sand, and spoke to Gu Yingxue as if they were having a chat.
Gu Yingxue shifted her body slightly.
"Old Jiu and I are ordered to protect you. We've lived the life of assassins since we were young, and we have no feelings for each other. So, you can choose whichever you want, as long as you're safe." The man in white glanced at Gu Yingxue again, then looked at Bai Jiu.
“Yes, Miss Xue’er. We are not responsible for conveying Miss Cheng’s last words,” Bai Jiu added.
"I want water, I want the beautiful clothes for the girl to wear, and I want the makeup and cosmetics the girl uses." Gu Yingxue hadn't eaten, drunk, or spoken for a day and a night, and when she suddenly opened her mouth, her voice was extremely hoarse.
"Alright, I'll go find it for you! You should rest well too!" The man in white stood up, glanced at Bai Jiu, then went to give some instructions to the supply team before riding his camel and disappearing into the desert.
The supply convoy found some ruins and led Gu Yingxue and the others there.
Gu Yingxue hung up windproof things all around, heated the water, and wiped Cheng Huaiyu down with a clean cloth.
She used her own comb to smooth Cheng Huaiyu's hair.
She has calmed down.
That night, she drank a bowl of porridge, ate some dried meat, and then lay down next to Cheng Huaiyu. She turned to her side and said a lot of things to Cheng Huaiyu, as if she were talking to a living person.
