Yuwen Qingyue was slightly taken aback and did not reply.
To be honest, she used to believe it. In Western Xia, when she failed in her attempt to capture Xie Lingqin and was rescued by her elder brother, the Crown Prince, she also believed it.
After all, the Yuwen royal family was known for its cold-heartedness, a fact that was an unspoken truth to everyone, but as a princess of the Yuwen royal family, she knew it all too well.
However, her elder brother, the Crown Prince, saved her, and then, without saying a word, subjected her to such torment.
Torture worse than death.
So now she doesn't believe it anymore. She doesn't believe that her elder brother, the Crown Prince, doesn't love Xie Lingqin. On the contrary, he loves her to the extreme, to the point that he will spare no effort to kill anyone who wants to hurt her or tries to hurt her, and he will not even recognize his own family.
"So what?"
Yuwen Qingyue asked.
“You may not know much about Xie Lingqin’s background, and I don’t know the details either. However, I do know that Yuwen Yao and Xu Yiran have the same strange aura as Xie Lingqin, so they should be able to sense it.” Li Qingyu said with certainty and ferocity, “Therefore, Xie Lingqin is definitely not dead, but she will die soon, at our hands.”
"I forgot to ask, weren't you severely injured after my Crown Prince brother inscribed your martial arts on your body? Why are you perfectly fine now?"
Yuwen Qingyue was puzzled. Moreover, since seeing Li Qingyu again, besides being filled with hatred, her entire demeanor and aura were completely different from before, extremely sinister.
"As for me, I naturally have the help of a master."
Li Qingyu chuckled coldly, gritting her teeth, "So, this proves that Xie Lingqin deserves to die."
Yuwen Qingyue's expression darkened slightly. "So, the antidote you gave me was also given to me by that so-called expert?"
"certainly."
Yuwen Qingyue's breathing became slightly labored.
How did such a highly skilled person come to easily cure the poison that her elder brother, the Crown Prince, had given her?
As dusk fell and the temperature dropped, Yuwen Qingyue couldn't help but shiver. She didn't mince words, "This place is so big, even if we manage to get down safely, it's hard to guarantee that she's here."
"Hmph, I have a feeling, it comes from a woman..."
Li Qingyu paused, looking ahead. There, a figure was squatting, struggling to dig something on the ground.
That figure...
"It is said that the youngest son of the Marquis of Zhongyong's family also fell down with Xie Lingqin at that time."
Li Qingyu suddenly laughed, a mixture of hatred and joy, and then took a few steps forward.
Almost there, almost there! Haha, it's a sweet potato, it's a sweet potato, it's a sweet potato...
Xu Shixun, who was engrossed in digging sweet potatoes, was having a great time when suddenly he felt a chill run down his spine.
Slowly, very slowly, he turned around.
A long sword, accompanied by its owner's cold laugh, aimed straight at his brow. "Where is Xie Lingqin?"
Xu Shixun was stunned for a moment, then suddenly exclaimed, "Wow... there's someone else here! You're looking for her to save her, aren't you?"
"She's still alive?" Upon hearing this, Yuwen Qingyue suddenly stepped forward and stared intently at Xu Shixun.
Xu Shixun looked at Yuwen Qingyue and suddenly felt even more heartbroken. "She died. She was still breathing after falling, but her injuries were too severe, and she didn't last more than a few days..." Xu Shixun was extremely saddened, and tears streamed down his face as he spoke. Then, he became very emotional, looking at Yuwen Qingyue and Li Qingyu, seemingly unaware of their hostile relationship with Xie Lingqin. "You came to find her, didn't you? Don't worry, I buried Sister Lingqin properly. I thought I was going to die, but seeing you is so good, I won't..."
Before Xu Shixun could finish speaking, Li Qingyu grabbed his neck, her eyes filled with malice, "She's really dead. You said she's dead."
"Uh..."
Xu Shixun nodded frantically.
"take me."
Li Qingyu abandoned Xu Shiyuan and made him lead the way.
Xu Shixun swallowed hard, then flew into a rage, "I am Li Qingyu, the legitimate son of the Marquis of Zhongyong, how dare you be disrespectful to me?"
"Xie Lingqin is really dead."
Yuwen Qingyue's eyes darkened, and she asked as well, suddenly feeling that she couldn't quite believe he had died like that.
However, Xu Shixun is not one to lie, and even if he did, he couldn't fool her and Li Qingyu.
After all, they knew Xu Shixun all too well what kind of person he was.
Xu Shixun walked ahead, seemingly sad and helpless. When he saw them, he thought he was saved and cried tears of joy, but there was something else in his eyes.
Fortunately, he was quick-witted and said that Sister Lingqin was already dead.
Sister Lingqin is no match for these two, let alone him, so he has to lure them away, lure them away...
Xu Shixun suddenly realized something, and a glint flashed in his eyes.
...
Inside the cave, the campfire flickered and had already gone out.
"Qin'er, you don't understand. I've spent over ten years, over ten years... and yet, it's still just a hindrance... I've failed, Qin'er... Qin'er..."
Xie Lingqin had a dream. In her dream, someone was calling her name softly and warmly, looking at her gently, and crying softly.
He looked like a young man, handsome and aloof, yet he was deeply infatuated with her when he looked at her.
That is...
"Qin'er, if you die, will you blame me?"
"What are you going to do? I don't want to die! There are still great mountains and rivers outside. I heard the servants say that Beirong is great, but there is the whole world outside Beirong. Isn't that wonderful?"
"Then do you want the world...?"
"The world...can you take me there?"
"……OK."
"If you put it that way, I'm even less willing to die. Besides, if we're not going to die, why would we want to die..."
The girl's silvery laughter drew out warm bubbles in the air, and then turned into blood-red, chilling blood, stinging people's eyes.
