The cold wind blew on the top of the mountain, accompanied by the clear ringing of bells.
I saw a person sitting on a tree with a crooked neck on the edge of the cliff. He was wearing a blue robe, and a small bell hanging from the jade pendant on his waist kept making sounds.
But the owner of the bell was unmoved. He was lying on a thick branch with his eyes closed as if he was asleep.
Suddenly, the ringing stopped.
Xiao Chengyi slowly opened his eyes. He took off the jade pendant from his waist and looked at the small bell hanging below in trance.
The bell has been ringing non-stop since last night, and it has been ringing for four full hours.
Every sound was like a knife thrust into his heart, but he was reluctant to take it off and throw it away, because this was the only remaining communication between him and Yan Yan.
The bell rang because she was thinking of him, but he couldn't respond at all.
Xiao Chengyi closed his eyes and licked the pain in his heart, when a shout came from not far away: "Who is it?"
He listened carefully and heard Qingying's slightly surprised voice: "Princess? You...how did you find her?"
Mu Yun'an's little face was pale and bloodless. The rugged mountain forest was full of thorns, which tore her clothes, and the clothes were dyed red with little bits of blood.
But she laughed the moment she saw Qingying: "Where's Brother Yi, I want to meet him."
Qingying frowned and glanced in the direction of the cliff. Seeing that Xiao Chengyi didn't chase anyone away, he let go and said, "Young Master is on the tree over there."
Mu Yun'an was so happy that she walked towards the edge of the cliff. When she got closer, she saw the person lying on the big tree. She looked at his green clothes floating in the air with red eyes and asked: "You
Do you hate me so much that you don’t even want to look at me?”
Xiao Chengyi took a deep breath, sat up and jumped down from the tree. When he saw her, he saw scars all over her body and she was in an extremely embarrassed state.
The fire in his eyes suddenly burst out and he said angrily: "Who asked you to come? Look at what you have become, why? Are you doing this to make me feel bad?"
Mu Yun'an cried and rushed towards him, hugged him and said, "Brother Yi, I hurt."
Xiao Chengyi's heart ached more than hers. His hands trembled slightly and he wanted to hug her, but he held back in the end and allowed her to hold her like this without pushing her away.
He closed his eyes, took a deep breath and said, "Mu Yun'an, you will only make me look down on you."
Mu Yun'an couldn't care so much. She still didn't believe that Xiao Chengyi would abandon her, so she had to come and ask him personally even if it was a mountain of swords and a sea of fire.
She slowly raised her head and looked at Xiao Chengyi and said, "Are you really going to abandon me and never want me again?"
Xiao Chengyi's nose was slightly sour, he turned his head away, and said in a cold voice: "Now that things have happened, what else do you want from me?
If it weren't for the fact that your mother saved my life back then, do you think that all of your Mu family would still be alive? I have already treated your Mu family with all my kindness and righteousness, so don't force me again."
Mu Yun'an shook his head and said: "I don't want to force you. I know that you have been merciful to the Mu family. I don't expect you to forgive my father. I just can't let you go. Brother Yi, if you want to leave, take me with you."
Let’s go, okay?”
"Take you with me?"
Xiao Chengyi sneered, holding her arm and pulling her in: "With you, will I always be reminded of being deceived and the stupid things I have done?"
