Everlasting Immortal Firmament - Chapter 56-57

Chapter 56-57

Chapter 56 - Empress Wa

RUMBLE!

Suddenly, the ten-zhang long huge coffin started to tremble, and all the sun-patterned black-robed men around it started kowtowing

In contrast, the Great Wisdom King kept on staring at the divine coffin .

Immediately, the white mist inside the divine coffin burst out, covering the entire huge coffin inside . A large amount of Spirit Qi from the surroundings also started to gather with the seething white mist .

High up in the sky, countless cultivators controlling their respective cloud beasts turned their gazes together towards the enormous coffin at the summit .

Gao Xianzhi and Chen Tianshan, behind Gu Hai, had an ugly look on their faces; they were rendered speechless .

Both understood what was happening, but simply didn't know how .

Bodhisattva Lian Sheng, who was standing up high in the air, brought his palms together as he looked at the divine coffin .

Far away, Great Elder and the sickly young man also kept on staring at the divine coffin .

At this moment, the divine coffin enshrouded by the white mist had already become the focus of all people . Everyone and everything had stopped as they waited for the result .

Gu Hai, on the other hand, tightly clenched his fist, looking at the divine coffin enveloped inside the white mist . He had an extremely ugly look on his face .

"I am still not strong enough! Once again! Once again!!" Gu Hai's eyes turned red as he mumbled to himself .

BOOM!

Suddenly, a loud bang resounded from inside the white vortex, where they could vaguely see the divine coffin exploding into pieces . However, the divine coffin wasn't exploding out at all, it appeared that the fragments after the explosion turned into billowing purplish Spirit Qi that swirled in all directions with a loud crash .

BANG!

A wave of Spirit Qi swept across the peak, enveloping everyone in a swirl of purple mist .

Far away, the sickly young man covered his mouth with a handkerchief . "Ke ke ke ke, nourishing the body using a divine coffin that is congealed out of Spirit Source Qi? Hahaha, they are really luxurious!"

(TL Note: ke ke is coughing sound, I was told cough is not a proper onomatopoeia)

The Spirit Source Qi rushed straight to Gao Xianzhi, Chen Tianshan, and Gu Hai .

BOOM!

The billowing Spirit Qi was incomparably dense . In the blink of an eye, it drilled into Gu Hai's body, seemingly pushing Gu Hai's cultivation to increase .

Gu Hai grit his teeth, his gaze turned cold as ice as he exerted all his strength to repel this Spirit Qi .

"En?" The nearby Great Wisdom King immediately discovered this unusual activity and looked at Gu Hai in surprise .

BANG!

BANG!

Gao Xianzhi and Chen Tianshan broke through as a Qi Wave spread about them . The two had an expression as if they didn't know whether to be happy or sad .

However, Gu Hai did not . Spirit Source Qi was exactly what Gu Hai needed, but Gu Hai still did not absorb even an iota .

"Gu Hai, what are you doing? Why are you not accepting the coffin fragments bestowed on Empress Wa's rebirth?" asked Great Wisdom King, puzzled .

Looking at Great Wisdom King, Gu Hai replied coldly, "Isn't this rewarded in exchange for Little Rou's death? As much as I am in need of Spirit Source Qi, I, Gu Hai, absolutely would not accept it! I will never forget the shame of today!"

"Humph! Little Rou had died long ago, all you did was lock her three souls, that's all!" the Great Wisdom King stated coldly .

Nevertheless, Gu Hai turned a deaf ear .

The nearby Gao Xianzhi happened to have a change in his countenance before he stopped absorbing the Spirit Qi at once . Taking a glance at Gu Hai, Chen Tianshan hesitated for a while before he too stopped absorbing the Spirit Qi .

BANG!

Suddenly, the swirling Spirit Qi all around the summit scattered away with a loud crash as the churning white mist condensed into white clouds .

SWISH!

A glorious radiance shone in all direction as the white clouds propped up a figure slowly .

The figure was none other than the girl, with the upper body of a woman and lower body consisting of a long snake tail, that Gu Hai had seen inside the coffin before .

Her eyes were closed, but a glorious splendor was emanating from all around her body continuously, giving her an exceptionally beautiful contrast .

Gradually, the girl opened her eyes .

The moment her eyes opened, it seemed as if the most glorious aura of heaven and earth was illuminating everyone's hearts . Countless cultivators stopped breathing momentarily as they looked in surprise at that stunning face .

Dressed in a magnificent long gown, her exceptionally stunning and voluptuous body and slender arms made many onlooking cultivators flush red, their hearts beat like crazy, even if she happened to have a long tail as her lower body .

"Little Rou?" shouted Gu Hai .

The girl turned her head to look, but there wasn't any innocence like in Little Rou's eyes, they were rather filled with an alluring gleam . Soon after, a sliver of a sneer flashed past her lips . She didn't pay any more attention to Gu Hai .

"Congratulations, Empress Wa, congratulations Your Highness on your rebirth!" the congregation of sun-patterned black-robed men respectfully greeted her .

Turning her head, Empress Wa glanced about at the sun-patterned black-robed men before a cold gleam appeared in her eyes as she said, "A bunch of wastrels!"

All the sun-patterned black-robed men lowered their heads immediately; they didn't dare to refute her .

"Congratulations, Empress Wa!" Great Wisdom King also respectfully gave a salute to Empress Wa .

Turning her gaze to the Great Wisdom King, Empress Wa said, smiling coldly, "Great Wisdom King? You really have great courage! Even though you had the ability to save my reincarnation when Meng Tai forced her to commit suicide, you didn't and waited for my reincarnation to die, only then did you take action!?"

"For Your Highness' rebirth, Your Highness' reincarnation needed to die . Your Subordinate has to be punished for not saving Your Highness' reincarnation, but, it's always better than being punished for killing Your Highness' reincarnation!" stated the Great Wisdom King solemnly .

In Great Wisdom King's eyes, Little Rou needed to die . It's just that he had to choose whether she died at his hands or Meng Tai's; nothing more, nothing less . He indeed could have saved Little Rou, but then he would have to kill her again; for which, Empress Wa's anger would be certainly be even greater .

In light of the two evils, he chose the lesser! Therefore, Great Wisdom King waited for Meng Tai .

"Good, very good!" Empress Wa coldly glanced at Great Wisdom King .

"Your Highness, His Majesty is soon to exit from seclusion, Your Subordinate requests Your Highness to return soon and preside over the overall situation!" said the Great Wisdom King respectfully .

"Humph!" Empress Wa coldly snorted .

While the sun-patterned black-robed men got up, one of them waved his hand before a huge flying ship suddenly appeared in the sky .

The flying ship was far larger and finer than Long Wanqing's White Cloud . The palace on it was also a lot bigger .

"Your Highness, please!" the black-robed men respectfully invited her .

Holding Empress Wa, the clouds underneath her slowly flew up to the flying ship .

BANG BANG BANG!

The group of black-robed men immediately followed her in respectful formation before the enormous flying ship rose up in the sky slowly .

From the beginning to the end, Empress Wa didn't take another glance at Gu Hai at all .

Looking at Empress Wa's expression, Gu Hai knew that she was indeed not Little Rou . How could Little Rou ever learn that high and mighty attitude of hers?

"Your Highness, shall we set off?" asked one of the sun-patterned black-robed men respectfully .

---

Embarking on the flying ship, Empress coldly glared at the Great Wisdom King .

"Great Wisdom King, aren't you coming?" asked Empress Wa coldly .

"Your Subordinate had something to do, Your Highness, please go ahead, Your Subordinate will soon catch up with you!" stated the Great Wisdom King respectfully .

"You want to kill Gu Hai?" Empress Wa coldly looked at Great Wisdom King .

The look on faces of nearby Gao Xianzhi and Chen Tianshan changed immediately .

Gu Hai also looked at Empress Wa, frowning .

Having remained silent for a while, Great Wisdom King nodded in agreement; he didn't refute her at all . "Yes, to prevent future troubles!"

Empress Wa immediately narrowed her eyes .

BUZZ!

Suddenly, a chill spread about in all directions before dense snow appeared out of thin air .

Countless cultivators eyes widened in shock .

"Impossible, this snow is formed due to the cold look in Empress Wa's eyes!?"

"Lower your voice, Empress Wa can hear you!" . . .

Countless cries of horror and shock immediately broke out among the onlookers .

"To prevent future troubles? Tell me, what future troubles?" asked Empress Wa in a cold tone .

Great Wisdom King remained silent for a moment before answering, "It's the explanation I have to give to His Majesty!"

"Hahahaha, Little Peacock, you indeed have a lot of guts . So, now you even began to make decisions for me?" stated Empress Wa, with a gaze that was as cold as ice .

"Your Subordinate does not dare!" Great Wisdom King immediately lowered his head .

"You don't dare? In my opinion, you indeed dare to! Or do you want me to abdicate Taiwa Palace and let you rule it?" said Empress Wa in a voice that was so cold that it was piercing to the bone .

An intense slaughter qi charged straight at Great Wisdom King .

SLAM! SLAM! SLAM! SLAM!

Under this slaughter qi, the congregation of sun-patterned black-robed men immediately knelt down one after another; but none dared to plead on behalf of Great Wisdom King .

Great Wisdom King also knelt down on one knee . "Your Subordinate does not dare!"

"It's best you don't dare! It's still not your turn to clean up my mess, you still don't have the qualifications to clean up after me! You better remember this!" Empress Wa stared at Great Wisdom King with an ice-cold gaze .

"Yes!" Great Wisdom King said respectfully .

"Pull the ship!" ordered Empress Wa coldly .

"Yes!" Great Wisdom King didn't dare to refute and obeyed immediately .

Eeeiu!    (--Peacock cry)

Suddenly, Great Wisdom King's figure transformed into a hundred-zhang long peacock .

A dazzling azure brilliance shone in every direction as the peacock flapped its wings, setting off a monstrous storm that swept about in the surroundings, sending countless cultivators' cloud beasts tumbling, so much that they appeared as if they would crumble apart at any time .

The hundred-zhang peacock flew to the front of the flying ship with a long scream, before towing the flying ship away . It quickly receded into the distant sky soon after .

As the flying ship made its way into the sky, neither Bodhisattva Liang Sheng nor the faraway Great Elder called out; they seemingly didn't have the qualifications to speak with Empress Wa as equals .

---

Looking at the flying ship as it slowly rose up in the sky before making its way towards the entrance of the Xiantian Endgame World, Gu Hai heaved a long sigh .

"Empress Wa? Ha!" A wry smile appeared on Gu Hai's lips .

None dared to block the flying ship as it made a beeline to the entrance . The cloud beasts quickly got out of the way seeing the flying ship heading over . As for the cloud beasts who couldn't get out of the way, they crumbled apart from a flap of the hundred-zhang long peacock's wings, while the cultivators riding them gave out miserable screams as they fell towards the ground .

Everyone followed Empress Wa with their eyes as she left .

Soon after, the peacock towed the flying ship into a nearby exit .

Suddenly, a flicker of an enormous serpent tail seemingly emerged from the flying ship . The thousand-zhang long enormous shadow of a serpent's tail slammed into the air .

BANG!

As the serpent tail struck the air, it didn't hit anything, but seemed to have struck on a watery surface as a ripple immediately spread about in all directions .

BANG BOOM BANG!

The ripple travelled through the air, countless peaks collapsed in the blink of an eye, sending out huge shockwaves so big that the entire world quaked .

However, Gu Hai seemingly saw a silhouette among the ripples in the sky .

"Who?" a strange yet cold voice rang out from the sky .

However, Empress Wa no longer paid any heed to this cold voice and vanished into that misty region as the peacock towed the flying ship, exiting the Xiantian Endgame World and disappearing from everyone's view .

"Did Empress Wa disturb Wei Shengren?" The look on Ninth Young Master's face who floated nearby in the air immediately changed .

"Wei Shengren?" Gu Hai also seemed to have guessed something .

"Did Empress Wa mean to help Throne Master in finding Wei Shengren in the end?" Gao Xianzhi's said, his eyes shining .

BUZZ!

Slowly, the rippled disappeared, along with that silhouette .

Controlling the cloud army, Gu Hai flew into the sky before occupying the Hundred Years Longevity Peach Tree once again, overlooking the cloud beasts in all directions .

However, the cultivators did not want to attack at this moment; everyone was too shocked by the previous scene .

"En?" Suddenly, Gu Hai's countenance changed .

"Throne Master, what is it?" asked Gao Xianzhi, puzzled .

"Meng Tai is truly tenacious! He didn't die even when he was cut into two by Great Wisdom King!? Take him down for me!" Gu Hai's eyes widened as he pointed at a bloody silhouette inside the mountain forest .

Chapter 57 - Wei Shengren

BOOM!

Under Gu Hai's order, Gao Xianzhi took out his golden weiqi piece and summoned the rain dragon at once, which dove down immediately after .

SWISH!

All around him, the many cloud beasts immediately gave way one by one .

Scattered in a mountain valley on the ground were the bloody remains of the Ascendant Hall disciples that had been cut in two by the peacock plumes of Great Wisdom King . However, among them was a bloody figure that was still alive at this moment .

It was none other than Meng Tai, who kept on swallowing pills as he crawled towards his lower body . Surprisingly, as he swallowed the pills, his upper and lower body actually start to reconnect .

However, when all was said and done, he had been cut in two across his waist and hence lost a lot of vitality; at this moment, he was crawling towards the depths of the forest with difficulty .

He was helpless as the place he had landed was a bare mountain valley and mostly had rocks scattered around; he had no place where he could take shelter and thus, was discovered by Gu Hai instantly .

BOOM!

The rain dragon dove down to the ground .

"Nooooooo . . . !" Meng Tai's countenance changed fiercely .

BANG!

Grabbing Meng Tai after having stretched its claw, the rain dragon soared into the air and flew towards the dark clouds .

"Let me go, let me go!" An anxious look appeared on Meng Tai's face .

Never before, never before had he been beaten so much . So close, he was so close to escaping . . .

SWISH!

In the blink of an eye, Meng Tai was brought before Gu Hai .

"Ha, Thone Master Meng!" Gu Hai's eyes flickered with a cold gleam .

"Gu Hai, what do you want to do, I am Ascendant Hall's Earth Throne Master, don't you dare hurt me or you won't have a good end!" stated Meng Tai as the look on face changed .

"You don't need to tell me about my end . You were caught and brought here because I just wanted to tell you that I knew everything you did . From the start, when you encouraged Song Qingshu, I knew everything . I gave Song Qingshu a chance, but he didn't cherish it, and similarly, as a colleague, I also give you a chance, but you also didn't cherish it . I don't want to say anymore, go to hell!" said Gu Hai coldly .

SCREE-CHING

The valiant general's Fang Tian Hua halberd slashed towards Meng Tai .

A monstrous slaughter qi rushed straight at Meng Tai with the blade tip pointed at him .

Meng Tai's facial features distorted horribly . "Wait, wait, wait! Do you want your whole family to die?"

"En?" The Fang Tian Hua halberd came to an abrupt stop .

"Nine-Five Island . . . Nine-Five Island's Song Jia Sect has an agreement with us . They soon will unify Nine-Five Island . The major sects of Nine-Five Island can only survive if they obey, otherwise they will be annihilated . The Clear River Sect can't escape either! If anything happens to me, everyone in your Gu Family will die!" screamed Meng Tai with wide open eyes .

"What!?" The nearby Chen Tianshan's expression changed .

Gu Hai narrowed his eyes . "Humph!"

SCREE-CHING!

The Fang Tian Hua halberd swished down at Meng Tai .

"Noooo . . . !"

BOOM!

Meng Tai was split in twain vertically, scattering his blood and entrails all around .

BANG!

The rain dragon threw Meng Tai's corpse away .

At this moment, it was no longer possible for Meng Tai to rise again .

"BANG!" The halves of Meng Tai's corpse crashed into the ground, smashed to a pulp .

A chill ran down the spine of countless cultivators as they looked at Gu Hai .

Who in the bloody hell is behind Gu Hai? Wasn't Meng Tai his colleague? How could he be so cruel?

An ugly look also appeared on the nearby Ninth Young Master's face as he looked at the fearful looks on the faces of cultivators all around .

There were a hundred thousand cloud beasts in here, a hundred thousand! Whereas all Gu Hai had were his two subordinates, nonetheless, no one among one hundred thousand cloud beast riders dared to step forward .

Ninth Young Master wanted to step forward, but the group of cultivators had already lost their will to fight . Even if they did step forward, it would not make the situation any better at all .

So to say, one man was holding back all their forces .

"Throne Master, what should we do now?" Chen Tianshan looked at Gu Hai .

"We are almost done . After finishing the business here, we will return to Nine-Five Island and warn Clear River Sect chief to take precautions against Song Jia Sect chief and the Ascendant Hall disciples' plot!" Gu Hai said coldly .

"Ah? Ascendant Hall? Then, Hall Lord . . . !" said Chen Tianshan; there was an extremely ugly look on his face .

"Hall Lord should not be aware of this . It must have been decided by Meng Tai and the others in private . There must be some ulterior conspiracy and perhaps, there is something on Nine-Five Island that others don't know a thing about, for which they are acting so carefully!" said Gu Hai solemnly .

"Something on Nine-Five Island? Then, why did Your Grace killed Meng Tai, just a moment ago . . . !" An anxious look appeared on Chen Tianshan's face .

"The look in Meng Tai's eyes already told me that he was not going to say anything . If we listened to him anymore, he would only be feeding us lies! It was better for us not to listen!" said Gu Hai in a heavy tone .

"Yes!" Although Chen Tianshan didn't believe it, he could only nod at this moment .

"Bodhisattva Lian Sheng, thank you very much!" Gu Hai said to the nearby Buddhist priest .

"I hope Throne Master Gu won't blame me . In the future, you will come to realize who Empress Wa is . Even if it's me, I am still her junior . Ha, I have already acquired the thing I wanted, I will take my leave from the Xiantian Endgame World . Soon, we will meet again . At that time, I hope Throne Master Gu could do me a favor if I have some request," replied Bodhisattva Lian Sheng as he brought his hands together .

"If I can do it, I will do all I can!" agreed Gu Hai with a nod .

Bodhisattva Lian Sheng inclined his head in response .

"Right, Bodhisattva Lian Sheng, This Lowly One could not understand one thing; why can Your Excellency and Great Wisdom King fly? Why don't you need to rely on cloud beasts? Or, is it that your cultivation isn't suppressed to Xiantian Stage?" asked Gu Hai, curious .

"Our cultivation is at Xiantian Stage!" replied Bodhisattva Lian Sheng, smiling .

"En?" Gu Hai looked at Bodhisattva Lian Sheng in confusion .

It's imperative to know that Great Wisdom King's battle power was far fiercer than any Xiantian Stage cultivator .

"Great Wisdom King was indeed at Xiantian Stage . Furthermore, he still had not exerted all his strength . However, he wasn't using his cultivation to fight with you, but his spiritual power . Spiritual power is also a kind of strength!" explained Bodhisattva Lian Sheng .

Having finished speaking, Bodhisattva Lian Sheng flew towards the exit .

"Spiritual power?" Gu Hai looked at Chen Tianshan as a frown crept up on his eyebrows .

Chen Tianshan was somewhat at a loss . He said, shaking his head, "I am also not clear about it, but I heard Sect Chief mention once that the demon beasts are born with spiritual powers . As for other things, I also don't know anything!"

Gu Hai just nodded thoughtfully .

The 28 x 28 Heaven and Earth Grand Array spread about as Gu Hai continued waiting for the arrival of Wei Shengren .

---

On the square . . .

The Great Elder and the sickly young man had been watching everything .

"Empress Wa, how could Empress Wa be in our world?" wondered the sickly young man as an ugly look shrouded his face .

"I am also not sure! However, it seems, we must thoroughly investigate it!" said the Great Elder in a heavy tone .

The sickly young man nodded in agreement . Looking at the cloud array in the air, he narrowed his eyes; it appeared he was about to take action .

BUZZ!

Suddenly, the air around the summit of a faraway peak started undulating, creating qi waves one after another that spread in all directions .

"Wei Shengren is about to come out!?" The expression on the sickly young man's face changed as he said this .

"Stay here!" exhorted Great Elder solemnly . While speaking, Great Elder's figure flickered as he flew away .

SWISH!

---

Soon, the Great Elder arrived flying at that peak .

The space above that mountain peak undulated before a silhouette gradually walked out .

The robe that was covering that silhouette was pretty unique; it was split into two down the middle, where one half was black and other white .

With his whole body covered in the black and white robe, and the wide brim of his hat shadowing its entire face, only the silhouette's hands were visible .

But his pair of hands surprised almost all the cultivators around .

The right hand on the black side of the robe was completely withered, just like the right hand of a shrivelled old man . Furthermore, the right hand was also spotted with a lot of warts and liver spots .

In contrast, the left hand on the white side of the robe was very young, just like the pinkish left hand of a baby . Moreover, its skin was smooth and elastic .

The ripples in the air also disappeared as the man dressed in the black and white robe walked out .

At this moment, a black-robed man flew over from faraway .

"Wei Shengren, why did you come out?" asked the black-robed man .

The black and white robed man glanced at the clouds array in the sky before looking at the black-robed man, "Great Elder, why didn't you notify me that someone was looking for me?"

Listening to the black and white-robed man, countless cultivators' eyes went wide, because his words carried two voices, one as tender as a baby's, while the other was as quaking as an old man's .

How could one man speak in two completely opposite voices at the same time?

"Wei Shengren?" Suddenly, someone reacted in surprise .

"Swish!" Countless cultivators all around turned their gazes over in surprise .

After all, Gu Hai had arranged his mighty army all in order to find this man!?

---

High up in the air, the eyes of Gu Hai, Chen Tianshan, and Gao Xianzhi shone brightly .

"Throne Master, it seems, Empress Wa's last strike was done in order to alert Wei Shengren!?" stated Gao Xianzhi with delighted eyes .

"Finally found him!" Chen Tianshan also said excitedly .

Now that they had found Wei Shengren, they could return to Nine-Five Island at once .

---

Faraway, the Great Elder dressed in black robes remained silent for a moment before replying, "As you have your hands full with your matters, we didn't want to disturb you!"

"It's my business, you don't need to make decisions for me!" said Wei Shengren calmly .

While speaking, Wei Shengren raised his head to look at the grand array .

Even though the inner region of the grand array was completely shrouded, Gu Hai felt that those eyes of Wei Shengren were already watching him through the grand array .

"Taking the Hundred Years Longevity Peach Tree hostage just to see me!? Who are you? How did you know I was in this world?" Wei Shengren's voice rang out once again .

The overlapping young and old voices sounded extremely scary .

"This lowly one is Ascendant Hall's Water Throne Master, Gu Hai! I came here looking for Senior Wei Shengren on behalf of Hall Lord!" stated Gu Hai solemnly .

"Ascendant Hall Lord? Oh, instead of coming to see me herself, she sent someone on her behalf?" Wei Shengren's voice seemed to be mixed in with a sliver of loneliness .

"Perhaps, the Ascendant Hall Lord that this lowly one knows is not the same person as the Ascendant Hall Lord that senior knows!" stated Gu Hai, taking a deep breath .

"Oh? Who is the current Ascendant Hall Lord?" asked Wei Shengren calmly .

"Long Wangqing, she should be the daughter of Hall Lord that senior knows . Now, Long Wanqing is the new Hall Lord!" said Gu Hai solembly .

"Daughter? Long Wanqing? Hahaha! That girl is finally married! Who is her husband?" said Wei Shengren, his voice sounded a bit shaky .

Gu Hai suddenly went silent .

"Why are you not speaking?" asked Wei Shengren in a heavy voice .

"No, Long Wanqing sent me here to look for senior, she wanted to ask senior to leave and help her! She made me bring this!" Taking a deep breathe, Gu Hai took out a small box .

SWISH!

Suddenly, the small box flew out, flying towards Wei Shengren before landing on his palm soon after .

"Leave? Impossible! Wei Shengren, you promised Grandmaster!" Great Elder said in sudden astonishment .

Opening the box, Wei Shengren looked inside, looking at the quietly lying hairpin; a very simple, very ordinary, and even very coarse hairpin that was devoid of any spiritual power fluctuations .

"This is what I gifted to that girl in the past . She didn't throw it away? So, it was just to anger me! Was she still holding on to it? Still holding on to it? Hahaha!" Wei Shengren's voice was filled with a sliver of a pleasant surprise .

"Senior, please restrain your grief!" Gu Hai said, taking a deep breath .

Clutching the hairpin, Wei Shengren calmed down and then looked at Gu Hai once again .

(TL Note: 'Please restrain your grief' is a polite way of saying 'be ready, I bear bad news' . )

"According to Long Wanqing, she lost her mother twenty years ago, and even now, the murderer still cannot be found . Therefore, she wants to request senior come out of seclusion and help her find her mother's killer, and help her avenge her mother . She earnestly requests senior to come out of seclusion!" stated Gu Hai respectfully .

Everyone had long since been holding their breath .

Wei Shengren looked at Gu Hai . "What did you say? Repeat what you just said! I didn't hear clearly, repeat what you just said! How is that girl? How is she?

"The hairpin should have been found by Long Wenqing when she was tidying up her mother's mementos! I can see that this small box had been carefully looked after; her mother must have been taking care of this hairpin very carefully before she was killed . Her mother has been murdered by someone; furthermore, her death is so unjust that her murderer has not been found even after twenty years! That's the only reason why she earnestly requests senior to come out of seclusion: in order to find her mother's killer, and avenge her mother!" Gu Hai repeated once again .

"That girl has been killed?" Wei Shengren's figure trembled immediately, as if he was about to fall over .
