He thought it was absolutely empty, but there was actually a corpse inside.
"Impossible, this isn't her."
Zhao Yun stepped back, his hands shaking.
He had never actually seen what Xu Lingyi looked like, but he asked Xu He to paint a portrait of Xu Lingyi.
When he was away, whenever he thought of her, he would take out the portrait.
Over the past year, he had seen Xu Lingyi countless times and remembered her appearance clearly.
The body showed no signs of decay, and the person in front of him looked very similar to the portrait.
"Impossible! This person looks like he was just buried. This doesn't match the Valley Master's statement."
Zhao Yun's voice trembled. He just felt that he had found a loophole and felt more hope in his heart.
But the Valley Master didn't show any panic on his face as if he was exposed.
"It was merely embalmed. Your Majesty, did you truly not notice, or do you simply refuse to believe it?"
The Valley Master's words silenced Zhao Yun, "That's not true."
He said this, but hurriedly reached out to touch Xu Lingyi's palm.
He had known for a while that she had a bump on the knuckle of her pinky finger.
Zhao Yun was full of hope, but then his heart sank to the bottom.
He actually felt it on the corpse's hand.
He looked at the face again.
The woman lying in the coffin still looked just like the one in the portrait.
"impossible!"
Zhao Yun shook his head and looked at the master and disciple. The two people above him had red eyes at this moment.
"Your Majesty is trustworthy now?"
The Valley Master's voice was hoarse and bitter. "There's no need for Medicine King Valley to lie to you about this. You're already the Supreme Lord now. You can find out anything you want to. If we were to lie to you, how long would we be able to do so?"
"Besides, my disciple has done nothing wrong, so there is no need for her to hide from you in this way."
"You can leave on your own. Medicine King Valley does not allow outsiders."
But Zhao Yun couldn't accept it no matter what.
He thought that Xu Lingyi would blame and hate him, and he also thought that it might take him a lot of time and effort to coax her.
But it never occurred to him that she was long gone.
He would never accept it.
Zhao Yun went to dig the tomb next to him like crazy.
Soon, a child's body was found inside.
The child was extremely thin and looked like a newborn.
Zhao Yun completely collapsed.
He would rather it was fake than believe she was dead.

My dears, this world is destined to be a bad one, and the male protagonist will be killed by me, but I have been struggling with whether to write a plot about a woman disguising herself as a man these days. I feel that there is no need to extend it. I can change the title and then write a little plot about the male protagonist's regret. It seems that it is okay to stop here?
Because I plan to finish it after writing a little over one million words, and I haven't written about planes like the end of the world and cultivating immortals, so I plan to make the unit stories a little shorter.
