At the border, because of the problem of the cliff entrance, Jing Aotian even offered a sky-high reward. It was not until the fifth day after An Tingyu fell off the cliff that a man finally came to the outside of the city gate and said that he knew the entrance to the cliff.
"Where is the entrance?" Jing Aotian asked anxiously as he saw the person coming.
"Replying to Prince Jing, it's on the other side of the cliff. You can only find it by jumping down. You can't see it from above."
Upon hearing this, Liu Yunsheng was the first to say, "The other side of the cliff? Wouldn't that be in the enemy camp? And it's not visible on the surface, no wonder we couldn't find it no matter how hard we looked, but..."
Liu Yunsheng narrowed his eyes coldly as he spoke, "Who knows if what you said is true? What if it was someone sent by your enemy to deliberately trick us into jumping?"
"You are worrying too much, sir. I am only a small trader. How could I dare to deceive you, my lords? Besides, I know this because I accidentally fell down once. The entrance is only three feet below the cliff. You can just use a rope to descend. There is absolutely no danger."
"No matter whether it's true or false, I'm determined to break into the enemy camp. I've also decided to cross the cliff on the other side." Jing Aotian's sharp eyes flashed with determination. No matter if it was a mountain of swords or a sea of fire, he could go to heaven and earth for her, so why should he be afraid of a cliff.
Night came quietly, and the night sky at the border was filled with dust. The army was approaching and declaring war on the enemy.
Amidst the clamor, a small group passed through the enemy camp and quietly reached the edge of the cliff. A rope was lowered, and one figure after another fell along it...
"It seems that this merchant really did not cheat us." Looking at the cave entrance, Liu Yunsheng said.
"Stop talking nonsense and go in quickly." Jing Aotian said as he walked into the cave first. Behind him, Liu Yunsheng, Dang Yan, Feng Yun, and Yu Qing followed quickly.
There were not many people coming this time, just a few of them. One reason was that they all had good martial arts skills. Although there were few of them, they could easily escape if an enemy attack occurred. The other reason was because of the problem of traitors. Spies were discovered continuously at the border, which showed that the soldiers were not fully trustworthy. However, it was difficult to distinguish between friends and enemies, so Jing Aotian could only bring people he trusted.
Following the cave, they arrived at the bottom of the cliff valley unimpeded. They searched around the valley, but could not find any trace of An Tingyu, not even Mo Youcan.
"She's not dead, she's definitely not dead, she's not dead, haha~" Jing Aotian laughed until tears came out. He was happy but also sad. He was happy that he didn't find anyone at the bottom of the valley, and there were signs of people living in the cave under the waterfall. He was sad that the person had left, and they missed the chance to meet each other.
Fengyun sighed and said, "It's really thanks to this waterfall, which is right below the cliff. If it weren't for this, the consequences would be unimaginable."
"What is that?" Dang Yan suddenly said as he looked at the stone wall in the cave.
Hearing this, everyone looked over and saw that it was a very small mark. The light in the cave was already very dim, not to mention that the mark was only the size of an egg, and the lines were also very faint. It could not be seen at all without careful inspection. If it weren't for Dang Yan's extraordinary eyesight, he would not have discovered it.
"Swallow?" Everyone looked at each other, wondering what the mural meant.
"She is still alive." Jing Aotian looked at the swallow and smiled again.
"Aotian, why are you so sure?" Liu Yunsheng asked.
Jing Aotian stretched out his hand, and his slender fingertips landed on the swallow. "This is her way of painting. In this world, only she can paint this kind of painting, and this is a swallow in flight."
Upon hearing this, everyone, except Yu Qing, who had never seen An Tingyu paint, suddenly understood what Jing Aotian meant.
That's right, this must have been left by An Tingyu. An Tingyu's paintings were a bit strange, unlike their ink paintings, with simple lines, but they looked more lively, as if they were real, and An Tingyu's swallows were just to tell them that she was still alive.
"Now we can finally put our minds at ease. As long as she is still alive, we will bring her back one day." Liu Yunsheng said again.
Jing Aotian remained silent, but his bloodshot eyes were bright and lively. Yes, he will come back, definitely!
