Jin Tong said in grief, “How could it be you? How could you kill my royal sister? Back then, my royal sister almost died to send you out of the palace. Do you know? Do you know?”

Rong Zhi was stunned by her question. He quickly grabbed her shoulder and said, “What did you just say? Was it Jin Feichen who sent me out of the palace back then?”

Without waiting for her answer, Rong Zhi shook his head and said, “Impossible! Impossible! The one who sent me out of the palace back then was obviously a little palace maid. How could it be her? How could it be?!”

Jin Tong’s words broke his fluke. “It was my royal sister. She had been waiting for you for so many years. It was only when you appeared that she told me that she won’t wait for Qi Rong anymore. She had someone she really likes.”

Rong Zhi couldn’t accept this result. He let go of her in a daze. Seeing Jin Feichen lying on the ground, all kinds of memories rushed to his mind.

“Seventh Prince, let me send you out of the palace.”

“You’re just a little palace maid. How can you send me out of the palace?”

“Don’t underestimate me. I’m very capable!”

…

“Seventh Prince, run! run!”

“What about you?”

“Don’t worry about me, run.”

“Why are you helping me?”

“Because… I like you.”

“I, Qi Rong, swear that I will come back to find you. I will marry you. You are my only wife.”

“Okay.”

The scene changed. He saw the woman in bright yellow imperial robes. The woman who would only smile when facing him. The woman who believed in him wholeheartedly. The woman who smiled and said that she wanted to travel with him.

In the blink of an eye, there was only a woman lying in a pool of blood in front of him.

Now that he had really returned, his little palace maid had been forced to death by him.

Rong Zhi’s condition was a little off. He picked up Jin Feichen from the ground and walked out with a dull look in his eyes.

“Let go of my royal sister.” Jin Tong wanted to snatch her away, but was pushed away by the inner energy on Rong Zhi’s body.

She was once again caught in An Yi’s arms. Jin Tong cried and pleaded, “An Yi, help me. I can’t let him take my royal sister away.”

An Yi’s eyes darkened and he said, “I’m sorry. I’m the inner guard of Guang Pingwang. I can’t interfere in other countries’ affairs.”

Jin Tong looked at An Yi in disbelief. She flung him away and was about to chase after Rong Zhi when An Yi pulled her back and said, “Jin Tong.”

This was the first time he had called her by her name, yet it was at such an occasion. Jin Tong looked at him in disappointment and said, “If you don’t help me, I’ll go by myself.”

An Yi frowned and explained, “Your royal sister is already dead. Even if you catch up to her, you’ll only die in his hand.”

Jin Tong said angrily, “I am not as cold-blooded as you. So what if I die!”

An Yi frowned and knocked her out with a knife. He hugged her soft body and sighed.

When Jin Tong woke up, her expression had already regained its calmness. She looked the same as before, as if nothing had happened.

An Yi heaved a sigh of relief and said, “I found the mark left by the Lord in the palace. I’m going to look for the Lord.”

He paused for a moment and waited for Jin Tong to speak.

Jin Tong looked out the window and replied, “You may go.”

An Yi paused again before taking a glance at the expressionless Jin Tong. He cupped his fists and left.

Jin Tong looked in the direction he had left and laughed at herself. The warmth in her eyes slowly turned into a block of ice.

An Yi followed the mark left behind by Gu Ruoyun and quickly found them.

At this moment, Gu Ruoyun and Su Yan were in the Tianjian Dragon’s Abyss, looking for shao zhi. As soon as they entered the Dragon’s Abyss, they were shocked by the ten-thousand-foot-tall waterfall in front of them.

It turned out that the rumors were not exaggerating. The Dragon’s Abyss was really ten-thousand feet tall.

The force left behind by the waterfall caused large craters to appear on the rocks on the ground. Occasionally, water droplets would splash out with considerable force..
