Feng Ruqing sighed helplessly. “I just miss Xia Xia.”
She left in a hurry back then and did not have more time to accompany Xia Xia. She did not know when she would see her again…
However, Feng Ruqing thought there was a vicious battle after coming here, but she did not expect Mu Yi to die so easily.
It made her wonder…
***
In Spirit Beast Mountain…
The palace that stood there before had collapsed.
Tianya and the others panicked as they lifted all the stone bricks but still did not see Feng Ruqing and Nan Xian.
Initially, they thought that these two were injured and could not come out themselves, so Tianya brought everyone from Wu Shang City to help but to no avail.
Even those spirit beasts could not find where they were.
Their hearts gradually sank…
They searched all over the place, but there was no trace of these two, and it made them despair.
However, they did not give up.
Everyone continued to search. They must find them even if they had to dig the ground…
***
Five years passed swiftly like flowing water.
They had searched all over the palace for five years…
They had been going back and forth, looking for five years, but they did not find any trace of Feng Ruqing and Nan Xian.
It was as if they had disappeared into thin air and could not be found anymore…
***
An old man in a red robe stood above the rubbles; his face was cold.
He looked expressionlessly at the group of people who were searching again.
Feng Lianqing stood next to the old man and sighed helplessly.
‘Since the disappearance of Sister Ruqing, Grandfather has not left Spirit Beast Mountain.
‘He has been waiting for her to come back…
‘However, a long time has passed. Maybe Sister Ruqing… Does not even exist anymore.
“Master…”
Feng Lianqing walked up to the old man and smiled bitterly. “Qiu Hui sent a letter saying that Xia Xia has grown up a lot. She has been asking why you and Sister Ruqing have not returned yet. Master, why don’t we go back to see Xia Xia first?”
“No…” Tianya shook his head. “I want to wait for Qing’er. I don’t believe it… I clearly saw her in the palace. Why can’t I find her? If she is still alive, I’ll find her soon. But if she’s dead, I want to see the dead body. Otherwise, I won’t leave.”
Feng Lianqing continued, “But… Xia Xia…”
“Qiu Hui is taking care of her… She’ll be fine.”
“But Xia Xia is still in Nine Gate…”
“I will settle the score with Nine Gate after I’ve found my granddaughter. They won’t dare to touch Xia Xia now. I trust Qiu Hui.”
Tianya did not feel worried as he knew that Qiu Hui would take good care of Xia Xia.
Now, he only wanted to find Feng Ruqing…
Even if he had to wait in this place forever…
Tianya closed his eyes; his gaze was filled with pain.
‘Qing’er, where are you?
‘It’s been five years… It’s time to come back.’
Feng Lianqing smiled bitterly. He knew that he could not persuade Tianya, so he turned to Suyi.
“Aunt Su…”
“Nan Xian and Qing’er haven’t come back. I’m not leaving either!”
Suyi’s face remained expressionless.
The white phoenix had always been by Suyi’s side, never leaving her.
“Ahem…”
