Everyone searched hard for Tushan Jing to no avail. Li Rongchang concluded that it was more dangerous than good and had drifted with the waves to the depths of the sea.When Xiling Jiu Yao heard the news, although she was heartbroken, she did not lose her composure and only asked Xi Yan Xingxuan to take her to the seaside.The sea wind howled, and she stood on the shore, her heart full of confusion and unwillingness.She asked herself, this trip was just to visit a sick child, what was wrong?Tu Shanjing's fight to protect her was an act of justice. Why was fate so fateful?She asked Xuanxuan for help, but found no solution.In desperation, she climbed onto the rocks, shouted Tu Shanjing's name to the vast sea, and vowed to get married immediately as long as he returned, no matter the cost.However, the only response to her was the sound of waves crashing on the shore, and there was still no news from Tu Shanjing.Xiling Jiu Yao's call echoed on the empty seaside, telling her deep love and reluctance for her lover, as well as her endless helplessness in the face of fate.
After seven days, there was still no trace of Tushan Jing, so Xiling Jiuyao insisted on holding the wedding.Xi Yanxuanxuan was heartbroken and tried his best to dissuade him, but Xiling Jiuyao firmly refused.Upon seeing this, his grandfather comforted Xuanxuan not to interfere with Jiuyao's feelings. However, Xingxuan could not bear to see her self-sacrifice and blocked the marriage with the dignity of an emperor.Jiu Yao knelt down and begged her with decisive words, which made Xing Xuan's heart feel like a knife.Finally, his grandfather came forward and agreed to the marriage on behalf of Xuanxuan.The wedding was simple, and Jiu Yao stood alone between heaven and earth, completing her vow with Tu Shanjing.In the wedding room, she waited all night, but her expectations failed. The groom did not return, leaving her alone to face endless emptiness and sadness.
Xiling Jiu Yao was isolated on the top of the mountain. The wind took away her soft hair and seemed to take away her past expectations and regrets.Once upon a time, she waited for her mother in Xiyan Mountain for six years, but her expectations turned into endless disappointment; and she watched Xiyan Xuanxuan and her father in Yushan for seventy years. The years have passed, she has not returned, and her heart has grown old.Those years of waiting were like hanging my heart on the tip of a sharp knife, suffering day and night.
Now, she stood on Chenrong Mountain, looking across the sea of clouds, but her heart was extremely determined.This time, she vowed not to let herself fall into endless waiting and torture, but she was willing to make an exception for Tu Shanjing.She thought silently in her heart, Tu Shanjing, you must come. Whether it is ten years, twenty years, one hundred years, or three hundred years, I will wait for you here.The long river of time cannot stop my determination. No matter how late it is, I will wait for you, just for you, Tu Shanjing.
Grandfather's gaze was profound, as if he could see into people's hearts. He slowly asked Xi Yanxuan if he had any grudges because of Xiling Jiuyao's unfinished wedding.Xi Yanxuan raised a wry smile at the corner of his mouth, and replied calmly, that was just a superficial title, nothing worth mentioning.He mentioned that Xiling Jiuyao's name would not be included in the Tushan clan's genealogy. In the eyes of the world, Tushanjing had passed away and the two had nothing to do with each other anymore.However, his grandfather's next words made him unable to maintain his superficial calm.
Grandfather questioned how Tu Shanhou, a deposed man, could have the power to compete with the Tu Shan clan and cultivate so many dead soldiers.Xi Yanxuan tried to excuse Tu Shanhuang by secretly training him, but his grandfather's insight was extraordinary. He bluntly said that it was impossible for Tu Shanjing to leave such a big hidden danger. There were only a handful of people in the wilderness who could do this..The implication is that Xi Yanxuan naturally became the object of suspicion.Facing his grandfather's questioning, Xi Yanxuan was silent. He could not deny it or explain it.
On the other side, after Xiling Jiu Yao calmed down, she asked Xi Yan Xingxuan to have a drink together.She was grateful to Tu Shanjing for healing her spiritual trauma and had a deep affection for him.However, when the topic turned to the cause of Tu Shanjing's death, her eyes became sharp and full of doubts.She wondered how Tu Shanhou could have so many dead soldiers, and directly asked Xi Yan Xuanxuan whether he was involved.Xi Yanxuan's silence was acquiescence. This truth was like a bolt from the blue, causing Xiling Jiuyao to collapse.
She clenched the knife in her hand and pointed it at Xi Yanxuanxuan's vitals uncontrollably, with tears and anger intertwined on her face.She asked why, why he treated her and Tu Shanjing so cruelly.At this moment, all trust and emotion were gone, leaving only endless hatred and despair.Xi Yanxuan looked at her, his eyes full of pain and helplessness. He knew that he had lost her and the chance to redeem her.This sudden revelation of the truth brought the relationship between the two to the brink of rupture.
