“Father…..father…….father……..” Murong Ji kneeled at the cliff’s edge crying.
His wailing echoed forlornly in the abyss, seeing him filled people with grief.
However, Murong Xue wasn’t moved. Murong Jian had brought this upon himself and had died falling. He had no one else to blame but himself.
“I…..I’m alright……..” a frail voice echoed from beneath the cliff, Murong Ji stopped crying and jolted to his senses. He peered down the edge and cried out in shock: “Father……..is that really you?”
“Yes it’s me….I’m alright….Let down a long rope….. and pull me up……” Murong Jian continued. His voice sounded weak, as if he was badly hurt.
“Alright, wait for me, I will be back!” Murong Ji yelled back in joy. He then wiped his tears away and dashed towards the patrol guards: “Sir, do you have a rope? Could you lend it to me for a little while……”
The purpose of having patrol guards was to detect and solve sudden complications in the area. Other than weapons, they also bring along ropes and other life-saving tools with them.
The fact that –Murong Ji looked very young, his eyes were filled with desperation and he had a tear-stained face – had the sympathy of patrol guards. They took out ropes and tied all of them together to form a single long rope. The rope was then let down the cliff.
The rope swayed. Slowly, the patrol guards pulled the rope up and a badly injured man emerged with his robe torn in many areas.
His hair was in a mess, his face was criss-crossed with scratches and his eyes held animosity – it was none other than Murong Jian!
Murong Xue frowned: He had fallen down the cliff and yet, he had survived! This detestable being was hard to kill!
“Father!” Murong Ji hurried over to untie the ropes knotted to his waist and hugged him. He cried out in happiness, “You’re alright!”
Murong Jian smiled and tousled his son’s hair, “Your father is very tough. He won’t die so easily especially when he’s being attacked by someone deceitful…”
“You are right. Good people don’t live long but bad guys do. So of course, uncle, you wouldn’t die so easily!” Murong Xue smiled.
The patrol guards heard the whole exchange: What she said…doesn’t seem right…
Murong Jian’s expression darkened and he gazed coldly at Murong Xue, his eyes displayed gleams of hatred.
Murong Xue didn’t show any signs of giving in and stared at him with contempt too. Their gazes met each other in mid-air, and without saying anything, they were battling with each other by glaring.
“Sir Murong, how did you fall off the cliff?” a patrol guard came up to politely ask Murong Jian.
After solving complications, the patrol guards naturally need to report the cause of it and how it happened. That was why one of them had approached Murong Jian.
Murong Jian raised his brow and looked at Murong Xue, as if saying: “If I tell them the truth, you will certainly be in deep trouble!”
Murong Xue smiled: Go ahead and do it: Uncle tried to assassinate nephew and niece but failed… moreover, he was pushed down the cliff by his niece. The patrol guards would be very intrigued with your story. In fact, I think more people would love to hear about it too…
Someone’s work performance wasn’t good enough to get noticed and returns to Jing City to assassinate people, what a detestable, evil person he is. Even if I can’t trace who this person is, the officials in the upper ranking sure can…
