Chapter 1253: Chapter 1248: Miaomiao Wonât Die
She feared she was too late!
But when she arrived, the sight of the scattered corpses on the ground made her freeze in shock.
âMiaomiao?!â
Her steps faltered, fearing that among the severed limbs and dismembered bodies on the ground, there would be parts belonging to Su Miaoyan.
Zi Wei had already checked all the bodies by the time she was gripped by fear.
He came to tell her the outcome, âDonât worry, all the bodies are male.â
...
Su Yingxue breathed a sigh of relief, but before her heart could settle, she quickly resumed her frantic search for Su Miaoyan. They scoured the entire cliff. There was nowhere else to hide, the dust was billowing, and there was a thick fog shrouding the sky in a dull grey haze.
Su Yingxue felt very heavy-hearted as she turned to look at the steep cliff and, unconsciously, began walking towards it.
Zi Wei followed closely behind her, âBe careful!â
Su Yingxue stretched out her trembling hand, pointing towards the edge of the cliff, âDo you think, my sister could haveâŠâ jumped off the cliff?
According to Zi Weiâs judgment, this was the only outcome, but he didnât have the heart to dash Su Yingxueâs hopes, so he bowed his head and said nothing.
His silence weighed down Su Yingxueâs heart even more, and she couldnât bear the burden, bending at the waist.
She looked at the cliff and kept shaking her head, âNo, Miaomiao wouldnât be dead.â
She had come to save her!
Zi Wei searched around the edge of the cliff one more time and found half a piece of a torn garment. Grabbing onto the cliff face, he leapt down with agility. After seizing the half-piece of clothing, he soared back up with swift grace, his body light as the wind, leaving no trace of his path through the air.
He handed the garment to Su Yingxue, âFound at the bottom of the cliff.â
It was half of a manâs robe.
He hadnât remembered incorrectly; Xiao Yu had said that Su Miaoyan had dressed in his clothes, pretending to be him to lure the zombie-like creatures away.
And now that robe was found at the edge of the cliff, so unsurprisingly, Su Miaoyan hadnât been consumed by the creatures, but she had leapt off the cliff.
âNoâ!â
Su Yingxue screamed in anguish, rushing towards the edge of the cliff, nearly collapsing.
Zi Wei protected her, following closely behind as she broke down in tears. All he felt was intense sorrow.
He was sorry that he hadnât been able to come sooner to help her save her sister.
After her crying spell, Su Yingxue stood up with the half-torn robe in her arms. She didnât have much time to grieve; although the cliff was high, it had a bottom, and she was determined to retrieve Miaoyan!
Even if⊠it was only a corpse!
After steadying her aching heart, Su Yingxue took another look at the corpses on the ground. Piecing them together, she identified the bodies as three men, unrecognizable from being devoured, but the dark pattern of an eagle on their robes gave them away as members of Xiao Yuâs most loyal Flying Eagle Guard.
They were all men of honor and loyalty, protecting Su Miaoyan and Xiao Yu till the end.
Zi Wei watched as Su Yingxue paused, and he spoke in a low voice, âIâll bury them.â
Su Yingxue nodded, âThank you.â
She simply didnât have the strength to do it herself at that moment.
Zi Wei worked quickly, Su Yingxue watching him dig graves with his scabbard and bury the dead without showing any emotion.
Being an assassin, he naturally didnât fear the corpses, but he showed a form of respect, treating these remains with a certain reverence.
Su Yingxue felt that this was another difference between her and Zi Wei. Zi Weiâs nature was cold and indifferent; apart from his loyalty to her, he was apathetic to everyone and everything else.
Zi Wei was unaware of Su Yingxueâs thoughts about him. The demeanor he presented, even he hadnât noticed in himself. He only thought of these men as having died protecting their master, which reminded him of the praise Yue Lian had once given him.
