Chapter 393 The bottom of the cliff



Zhan Yeping sat on the cold ground for a long time before she came to her senses.

She looked up at Zhan Yihan who was standing in front of her, and when she met his cold eyes, she quickly looked away.

"Have you had enough of the trouble?" Zhan Yihan's cold voice sounded without a trace of emotion.

"I..." Zhan Yiping felt as if the air had frozen at this moment, a chilling feeling rising in her heart, even breathing became difficult. Big Brother is really scary like this!

"I will send you to Sichuan City tomorrow. You have to reflect on yourself there." After Zhan Yihan said this, he no longer paid attention to Zhan Yeping and turned to walk into the clinic.

"I don't want to go to Chuancheng, brother. I know I was wrong. Please forgive me this time," Zhan Yeping pleaded tearfully. She had never been to Chuancheng, but she had seen it on TV. It was even poorer than here, and people couldn't even get enough to eat. She didn't want to go there, even if she died.

Thinking of this, Zhan Yiping stood up and ran out of the village. She knew her eldest brother's temper. He always kept his word. If he said he would send her to Sichuan City, he would definitely send her there. She had to find a place to hide so that he wouldn't find her.

Zhan Yeping kept running, not knowing how long she had been running until she was exhausted and out of breath, and then she stopped.

Looking around, she found herself in a mountain forest, surrounded by dense trees. Occasionally, the cries of wild animals could be heard from afar. Zhan Yeping sat down under a tree, curled up, and looked around in fear, afraid that a wild animal would jump out and eat her. She had just wanted to find a place to hide, so she ran up the mountain. Now she had lost her direction and had no way to find her way home.

The sky was getting darker and darker, and gusts of cold wind blew by. Zhan Yeping was so cold that she shivered. She was cold and sleepy, but she didn't dare to sleep. She was afraid that if she fell asleep, she would be eaten by wild beasts.

Her eyelids kept drooping, and she felt sleepy in waves. She didn't dare sleep the whole night because she was worried about her aunt, so she was really sleepy now.

She shook her head, trying to stay awake, but it was no use. Instead, she felt more and more dizzy. She pinched her thigh hard, and she gasped in pain.

But after the pain subsided, sleepiness came back, and Zhan Yeping could only pinch herself again, hoping that the next day would come sooner.

As midnight approached, the temperature around her plummeted. Zhan Yeping was frozen stiff, even her fingers and legs were numb. If this continued, she would freeze to death. She had to find her way home.

She stood up shakily and looked around, only to find that every tree looked the same. Where should she go?

She squeezed her eyes shut, chose a direction, and ran forward. She couldn't care less now. She would only freeze to death if she stayed here. Instead of that, she might as well take a gamble.

"Aren't you worried about her?" Su Jinyue looked at Zhan Yihan and asked.

Zhan Yihan sighed, "Worried." After all, she was his blood sister, how could he not be worried?

"Aren't you afraid that she will roll down the cliff or encounter a wild beast?" Su Jinyue used her spiritual sense to observe Zhan Yeping who was running around in the mountains like a headless fly.

Zhan Yihan nodded. He wanted to make Yiping suffer a little, to scare her, and to make her reflect on her mistakes, so he absolutely couldn't be soft-hearted this time.

Su Jinyue curled her lips and smiled. Some people grow through hardship, but some people forget the pain once the wound has healed.

Zhan Yihan's expression suddenly changed and he ran out quickly.

Su Jinyue also saw the scene where Zhan Yeping slipped and slid off the cliff, but the cliff was too deep and her spiritual sense could not reach the bottom of the cliff at all.

She shook her head and followed Zhan Yihan. Although she didn't like Zhan Yiping, she was Yihan's sister after all.

The two came to the cliff where Zhan Yeping fell.

"I'll go down and take a look. You wait for me up there." Zhan Yihan said to Su Jinyue. He was a cultivator, so no matter how deep the cliff was, it wouldn't have any effect on him.

Su Jinyue shook her head, "I'll go down with you." Standing here, she couldn't reach the bottom of the cliff with her spiritual sense, and she felt a little worried.

Zhan Yihan was about to say something else, but when he saw the determination in Su Jinyue's eyes, he nodded, took her hand, and jumped off the cliff with her.

The two of them tapped the cliff wall with their toes and quickly walked down the cliff.

After an unknown amount of time, a thin layer of mist appeared before their eyes. It was because of this layer of mist that their spiritual consciousness was blocked, preventing them from going deeper.

At this point, Zhan Yihan had given up hope that Zhan Yiping would survive. With such a deep cliff, even a practitioner of ancient martial arts wouldn't be able to survive if they fell, let alone Yiping. If he had known earlier, he should have followed her out.

"Splash!" Zhan Yihan and Su Jinyue fell into a pool of water.

Zhan Yihan's eyes lit up. There was a pool of water below the cliff, so Yiping should still have a glimmer of hope of survival.

He quickly expanded his spiritual sense and searched around, but found nothing.

"This pool of water also has the effect of shielding spiritual consciousness. Let's go underwater and take a look." Su Jinyue said. She felt that this pool of water was not simple.

Zhan Yihan nodded, reached out and held Su Jinyue's hand, and dived into the pool with her.

As the two of them went deeper, they found that the water flow under the pool was getting faster and faster, and it had a strong suction force, as if it was going to suck them in.

Zhan Yihan pointed upwards at Su Jinyue. "Let's go up first. It's too dangerous here."

Su Jinyue nodded, and swam upwards with Zhan Yihan. Suddenly, a hand grabbed Su Jinyue's feet.

Su Jinyue turned her head and was stunned to see that it was Zhan Yeping who grabbed her feet!

Then, she felt a strong suction force sucking her back.

Zhan Yihan felt his hand was empty, and he quickly turned around to see Su Jinyue being caught in a whirlpool. He turned around anxiously to grab her, but when his hand was about to grab Su Jinyue's hand, the whirlpool shot out a white light and bounced him away.

Zhan Yihan steadied himself and when he looked over again, Su Jinyue and the vortex had long disappeared.

No! Zhan Yihan screamed in his heart, his face filled with anxiety and panic. He searched the pool like a madman. Without Jin Yue, his life was meaningless.

Time passed unnoticed, and Zhan Yihan didn't know how long he had been searching until he had no more strength left. He closed his eyes wearily, and his body slowly sank to the bottom of the water. "Jin Yue, wait for me. I won't let you go alone."

A powerful suction force came over him, and Zhan Yihan smiled in relief. "Jin Yue, here I come!"
