Chapter 751: Why aren’t you saying anything? (1/2)

After the sword sect master left, a few guards helped Han Yunxi carry Long Feiye to the ninth floor. The whole way up was marked by a trail of blood. When Han Yunxi glanced back at the sight, her vision blurred until she felt that the hallways had been dyed in red. Even the world was emblazoned in a crimson sheen that would never wash clean.

The guards placed Long Feiye on the bed and withdrew. By now, he was already unconscious, his pale face a sharp contrast to his bloodstained lips. Han Yunxi might not know anything, but she understood that his blood and qi circulation had reversed to cause this condition. Unless he was rescued in time, even gods would be helpless to save him. His life was ebbing away with the large swaths of blood flowing from his body. Han Yunxi used her sleeve to wipe at the liquid trickling from his lips. Soon enough, both of her sleeves were soaked in blood. She used her hands next, brushing away each new stream that flowed from his mouth. But no matter how quickly she cleaned his face, the blood was still faster.

She couldn’t finish cleaning the blood right before her, just as she couldn’t hold onto the Long Feiye lying right in front of her. No matter how hard she tried, she felt helpless to grasp anything at all. He seemed like he could leave her forever at any moment.

She grew afraid. Her hands shook, then her body. Even her voice trembled as she spoke. “No… Long Feiye, Feiye… Don’t scare me like this, alright?”

Since she couldn’t wipe away the blood, she covered her mouth with her hands. But it was no use!

Not a single bit!

Fresh blood still seeped from between her fingers to land on the pure white sheets. The shocking sight reminded her that this wasn’t a dream. It was reality! This was reality!

What do I do?

“Long Feiye, tell me what I’m supposed to do!”

“Long Feiye, don’t be like this! I’m begging you, don’t be like this… Long Feiye, wake up!”

“Long Feiye, you promised me! We were going to leave the mountain together! You’re not allowed to lie! You can’t…Long Feiye, how dare you lie to me!”

“Long Feiye, how could you do this? How could you?!”

She had thought of endless possibilities where she left the mountain alone and planned endless plots to counter them. But she never thought of an ending like this.

A world where Long Feiye couldn’t leave the mountain at all. A world where he couldn’t accompany her, because he died!

Han Yunxi cried herself hoarse as she sat by his side. “Long Feiye, aren’t you afraid that I’ll never trust you again after you lied to me?”

“Long Feiye, will I…will I even have a chance to trust you again in the future?”

In the end, she threw herself across his body and broke into bitter sobs. Although she didn’t want to believe it, would there…be a future at all? Will I ever get another chance?

Long Feiye’s body was beginning to turn cold…

Bang!

The sword sect master kicked open the door with the three white-haired Honored Elders behind him. The stench of blood filling the room made them knit their brows. Before the sword sect master ever descended the peak, the three had come. They could long see that Long Feiye was severely injured and came to rescue him. Long Feiye might be strong, but his martial arts still paled to their levels. Still, his staunch and tenacious will had earned their respect. They were all over 100 years old, but had never seen such a proud disciple of Celestial Mountain until today.

Although she was reluctant and afraid, Han Yunxi was the first to move out of the way. She didn’t understand anything, so she didn’t dare to to disturb the Honored Elders. One of them took Long Feiye’s pulse before immediately issuing orders.

“All of you, out. Stand guard outside the door and don’t let anyone inside!”

The guards immediately withdrew. Han Yunxi didn’t want to leave and wanted to tell them she wouldn’t be a disturbance. But the sword sect master shot her a look, indicating that she should wait with the rest of them. She shook her head, reluctant to depart. He silently gestured for her to move it. Meanwhile, one of the Honored Elders had already helped Long Feiye up to a sitting position. Another looked towards the sword sect master coldly. “What was the situation beforehand? Hurry and tell us!”

The sword sect master rushed forward even as he gave Han Yunxi one last glance. She didn’t dared to waste their time. One look at Long Feiye later and she was rushing out to shut the door herself. Then her legs collapsed beneath her, leaving her physically paralyzed at the entrance. Her heart had already sank. How could she still have the strength to stand?

Xu Donglin rushed over then and quickly went to help her up. “Mistress, His Highness…where is His Highness?”

When Han Yunxi looked up, her expression made his heart ache. He’d never seen esteemed wangfei cry before. Why…has she cried herself into such a mess?

“His Highness is…” Xu Donglin was frightened by the implications and staggered to the side. “His Highness is…he’s…”

“He’ll be okay!” Han Yunxi said coldly.

“Right, right! His Highness is a lucky man and Heaven helps the kind. He’ll definitely be alright!” Xu Donglin said quickly. Actually, he had come to deliver a secret missive with urgent news from South Ning. He didn’t even dare to open the message himself. But with esteemed wangfei like this, how could he bring that up now? Even if he did, she probably wouldn’t read it!

No matter how pressing the message might be, His Highness’s life was more important!
