Long Sorrow Song - C43
The 50,000-strong army led by He Wulan was defeated by the Mo family army in less than half a month. In less than two months, the Mo family had occupied the entire outer region. The strength of its troops shook the entire world.
During these two months, Xie Feiyan left Mount Hua. Before leaving, she only bid farewell to Liu Yiyi, but said nothing about where she wanted to go. Nangong Ping also left Hua Shan when the Mo family sent out their troops. Liang Rufeng did not fight with Ye Mo Han for the second time, because Mo Xi Yan had been stopping him from doing so. Zhang Qingwu sent people into the Huashan secret tunnel and drew up a complete map. Ye Qinghan had been secretly investigating Zhang Yiming’s death, but to no avail. He couldn’t help but feel a bit dejected. Could Zhang Qingwu really have nothing to do with Zhang Yiming’s death?
In these two months, the only thing that made Ye Mo Han feel slightly gratified was that Zhang Qingwu agreed to set up a monument for Ye Sheng beside Lin Mo Xiao’s grave. Ye Shuihan also set up a tombstone for the mother and son of the monkey on Songjie Peak.
Middle forward, noon. The sun directly shone on the glazed roof tiles. The golden light was dazzling, blinding people’s eyes. When Chen Shaochong came to the center to look for Ye Mo Han, Ye Mo Han was with Liu Yiyi. Seeing Chen Shaochong’s arrival, Liu Yiyi tactfully left.
“My bed is cold. Don’t you feel that Miss Liu looks very familiar?” Looking at Liu Yi Yi who was walking away, Chen Shao Chong spoke with a profound tone.
Ye Mo’s heart trembled, and he was even more sure that Liu Yiyi was the woman from six years ago. Why couldn’t he remember her face in a few short years? And why didn’t Liu Yiyi recognize him?
“What do you know about Liu Yiyi and me?”
Ye Chanhan had a hunch that Chen Shaochong was also from the Jade Pavilion. But after his grandfather took Liu Yiyi away, how did she enter the Jade Pavilion? Not long after that, his grandfather died of an illness. Was his grandfather’s death an illusion? Ye Mo Han Yu stopped thinking about it, but the questions on his mind became more and more uncontrollable. It was only after his grandfather’s death that he began to enter this chaotic world to seek revenge for his father.
Chen Shaochong sighed, and slowly said, “I just found out about this secret, so I came here to tell you.”
“What secret?” Ye Mo Han had a premonition that there was something he didn’t want to hear the most.
“Last night, someone suddenly left a letter for me.” Chen Shaochong took out a leather envelope and handed it over to Ye Mo Han.
Although the envelope was made of leather, it was extremely exquisite, decorated with jewelry. In particular, there were two small emeralds inlaid on the seal. The edges of the emerald were carved with dragons and phoenixes, beautiful beyond compare. Ye Mo Han could not be more familiar with this pattern; it was undoubtedly the Jade Pavilion.
Ye Mo Han read the letter, his mind in a mess. The general meaning of the book was: Ye Mo Han and Liu Yi Yi had already been in love with each other for six years. After that night, Ye Mo’s grandfather fed Liu Yi Yi a plant that could make people lose their memories — the kale grass. Liu Yiyi, who had eaten the cabbage, joined the Jade Pavilion and became an assassin. Liu Yiyi didn’t mention how she joined the Jade Pavilion.
“Where is the messenger?” After Ye Mo had confirmed that Liu Yiyi was the girl from six years ago, he felt mixed emotions and found it hard to express himself.
“Dead.” “Chen Shaochong also appeared to be very surprised.” The person who delivered the letter must have consumed some sort of poison. The instant I received the letter, he turned into dried up bones. ”
“Then this envelope is the antidote.” Ye Wen Han sniffed the envelope and sure enough, there was a faint fragrance.
Chen Shaochong nodded, “This is the first time I’ve seen this kind of poison. Just by looking at its strange methods, it seems that the Jade Pavilion is able to surpass the Thousand Poison Sect.”
The Thousand Poisons Sect was the world’s number one Poison Sect, the current Sect Leader, Eastern Rui. Her sect used all sorts of poisons, and the vicious and insidious nature of the poison made people shudder when they heard of it. It was rumored that when Dongfang Rui first took over the Sect Leader, she fought with eight of the strongest poison experts in the sect and killed eight of them in one fell swoop. After that, Dong Fang Rui appeared and disappeared in the martial arts world. Everywhere she went, there were almost no plants growing. Therefore, the Thousand Poisons Sect in recent years was a shame to those in the martial arts world.
Chen Shaochong continued, “Moreover, it’s said that the Lignum Calceum Grass has been extinct for eight hundred years. Where did your grandfather get it from for Liu Yiyi to eat?”
Ye Yihan didn’t know that Liu Yiyi’s entrance into the Jade Pavilion was something that had been planned beforehand, and Liu Yiyi had been arranged by someone else when she met him. Then this person, no matter who it was, seemed to be related to his grandfather.
“Maybe I should go back and take a look.”
He returned to the place where he had first met Liu Yiyi six years ago. Ye Chanhan had no concept of home since he was a child. In order to let him practice his martial arts, his grandfather would move around every four to five years to find a place to live. So now, Ye Jianhan also felt that a place where he could sleep could be called home.
Chen Shaochong looked at Liu Yiyi who was in the distance: “Do you want to go with Lady Liu?”
“She lost her memory after seeing the cabbage, so she came back to the place where we met for the first time. Maybe she’ll be able to remember something.” Ye Yi Yi Han looked at Liu Yi Yi. Under the sunlight, her features were distinct, and her beauty was delicate and charming. Her every gesture seemed to have a sense of respect hidden within. It was like a lotus flower, sacred and untouchable.
“When are you leaving?”
“Right away.”
Hearing that Ye Mo Han was about to leave, Liu Yiyi didn’t ask any further questions. At this time, no matter where she went, she had to follow Ye Mo Han. However, unlike before, when she just wanted to avoid the Jade Pavilion, Liu Yiyi now had no idea that her feelings for Ye Mo Han were rapidly growing. She was even more unaware that her fate would be intertwined with Ye Han’s.
Ye Mo Han and Liu Yi Yi didn’t delay at all, and they went down the mountain as fast as they could. When he arrived at the Jade Spring Academy, there were already some newly stationed disciples of Hua Shan who recognized the two. Ye Wen Han asked for two horses from them and galloped northwest. That place was now under Wu Dang’s jurisdiction.
Ye Mo Han and Liu Yi Yi were not in a hurry along the way. They rested whenever they were tired, and would stay for a few days whenever they came across a fun place. This went on for more than a month before they entered Wu Dang’s territory.
Wu Dang’s territory was vast, second only to the Mo Clan, and the Wudang Sect was similar to the Huashan Sect, occupying a high mountain. The Sect Leader, Sun Muxia, may not be very competitive, but in recent years, especially after the three forsaken events, the Wudang Sect had only taken part in the development of the martial arts world and did not take the lead. The more it was like this, the more people speculated about the power of the Wudang Sect.
Some people say that after the Three Abandonments, the Wudang Sect was left with only empty shells, more than enough to protect themselves and a lack of leaders. Others say Sun Muxia is just gathering power in secret, waiting for an opportunity to annex and consolidate the factions. No matter what the outside world said, the Wudang Sect had never come out to defend themselves. The Sect Leader of the Wudang Sect seemed to understand a principle: People often speculate about things they do not know. In such a situation, silence was perhaps the best response.
Here is a low mountain, although not high, but the scenery is pleasant. The vegetation was verdant and the streams were clear. Halfway up the mountain was a house that no one had lived in for a long time, and Ye Wen had lived here for five years. For five years, every day, he was called to the top of the mountain by his grandfather for practice. Since the death of Ye Mo Han’s grandfather, Ye Mo Han had left this place, and now that he had returned, he felt that this place was exceptionally familiar. Because there were some unforgettable memories here.
Liu Yi Yi Yi stood at the top of the mountain and looked at the house halfway up the mountain. With a perplexed expression, she asked Ye Mo, “Where is this place?”
“What do you think of this place?” Ye Mo looked at Liu Yiyi’s expression and hoped that she would remember something. If Liu Yiyi could really remember something from the past, then there were many things that she would understand.
“Not bad.” Liu Yiyi regained her composure. You aren’t bringing me here to hide from the Jade Pavilion’s pursuit, are you? ”
“Yeah, we might end up here.” Liu Yi Yi Yi’s expression remained the same. Ye Mo Han’s heart sank, but he still joked around.
“That’s not bad.” Liu Yiyi smiled shyly. He then said seriously, “But I’m afraid that Miss Mo will come as well if the Jade Pavilion doesn’t come and bother us.”
Ye Yi Yi’s words were obviously full of jealousy. These days at Hua Shan, Mo Xi Yan frequently looked for Ye Mo Han. Every time, Liu Yiyi would take the initiative to give way, appearing very natural and unrestrained. Ye Mo thought that Liu Yiyi didn’t care, but now it seemed that Liu Yiyi had only done so out of politeness.
Most of the time, the relationship between the two women was not as friendly as it seemed. In fact, it was filled with hostility behind their backs. What about men? What about the martial arts world that was full of deceit?
