Xie Lingqin stared at the stone door for a long time, frowned slightly, leaped into the air, and punched the top of the stone door with her fist.
"Bang--"
The stone door suddenly slammed shut.
The ground shook.
Xie Lingqin's expression turned even more grim as she watched the stone door close.
When she activated the mechanism just now, she clearly didn't press the button on the same spot as before; the force she used was different.
But……
It's closed.
Xie Lingqin thought for a moment, then clenched her fist and struck the stone door heavily once more.
"boom--"
The stone gate opened again.
Another blow.
The stone gate closed.
Tinghai was stunned, staring at Xie Lingqin as if he had seen a ghost, "Miss, this..."
"Clean up and leave immediately."
Xie Lingqin's expression was serious.
Tinghai dared not delay any longer. He tidied up the footprints of the two people around him and silently led Xie Lingqin out of the academy and back to Qingshui Pavilion.
Zihe and Tridacna were cleaning the room when Xie Lingqin came in. They looked puzzled, not only with a gloomy expression but also with a bunch of things in their arms.
The giant clam's eyelids twitched, clearly indicating that it knew what this was.
Xie Lingqin tightened her grip on the skeleton in her hands, then had Zihe find a box and gently placed the human bones inside.
One by one, solemn and dignified, like sacred objects.
Zihe didn't ask, Tridacna didn't speak, and Tinghai didn't speak either.
"Please step back, I need some peace and quiet."
"yes."
He lowered his body to the sea.
Zihe and Tridacna immediately withdrew.
The room was deathly silent, and Xie Lingqin's face was unusually solemn.
It seemed that she had finally found a few loopholes in a huge net and could fly out. However, she then clung to the edge of the net, unwilling to leave. She wanted to keep climbing forward and see if the other side of the net was fate or human doing.
Xie Lingqin's gaze involuntarily fell again on the box containing the remains.
The man in black robes told her to go to the imperial mausoleum.
What exactly is inside the imperial tomb?
Why did she let out such mournful cries when she saw those corpses in that secret passage, even if her mother's remains were among them...?
Why did she feel such heart-wrenching sorrow towards other corpses?
Moreover, this emotion seems to have transcended time and space, as if it had suddenly appeared.
It hurt so much that she could barely breathe.
And who exactly is that man in black robes?
Xie Lingqin raised her hand to touch her brow, feeling utterly confused.
Outside the window, the wind is still.
The sky gradually darkened.
Until a figure appeared in the room, casting a gentle breeze and suddenly bringing warmth.
Xie Lingqin looked at him, and her heart suddenly felt at ease.
"Yuwen Yao." Xie Lingqin got up, walked over, and nestled tightly into Yuwen Yao's arms.
"I love you."
It seems that expressing my emotions and overflowing love to him can dispel the sadness in my heart.
“I love you too, I’m here for you.” Yuwen Yao hugged Xie Lingqin tightly, resting his chin on her forehead, his voice low and gentle, “Xie Lingqin, I’m here for you, so you don’t need to think about anything, you don’t need to look at anything, and you don’t need to ask anything.”
"good."
"I'll take you somewhere."
"Um?"
While Xie Lingqin was still in a daze, Yuwen Yao had already carried her out of the general's mansion.
The autumn night was cool and chilly, a light mist rose, and the air was damp.
Only his face, which she could see, was strikingly handsome.
