"Who are you? Since you dare to oppose me in court?! " A cold and intense voice resounded in the dark night. Xue Fu felt his waist tighten, and in the next moment, he was in Yue Ye's arms. His arms were like iron, gripping her body tightly. She still had her eyes closed as she heard his cold command: "Take off your mask!"

In the darkness of the night, Yue Ye couldn't see her face clearly, but she could smell the faint fragrance of the pear blossoms on her body even more clearly. Three years ago, the love under the Pear Blossom Tree had caused him to be extremely sensitive towards the Pear Blossom. He had thought that only that girl who was as happy as a little bird would have this fragrance, but he didn't expect that it could be smelled everywhere. He could smell it on Xue Fei, even on this female killer in front of him. At the bottom of his heart, the coldest string of strings would always feel a hint of softness from this pleasant fragrance.

Xue Fu naturally did not dare speak, Yue Ye was such a shrewd person, if not for the darkness, he would have already recognized her. Her body, which he was pinching in the crook of his arm, trembled slightly. In order to give her a sliver of hope to live, she secretly adjusted her breathing once more. An aura slowly gathered in the right palm, and unknowingly, Yue Ye aimed a palm full of seventy percent of her power towards his chest.

Immediately after, she felt her hand loosen up, and Yue Ye unsteadily took two steps back, spitting out a mouthful of blood. What impressed her from the bottom of her heart was that since he had only taken a few steps back, his body was still standing firmly in front of her. This palm strike successfully provoked him, but what followed was a palm like force that mercilessly swept towards her.

Xue Fu was unable to dodge in time, and was lucky that Liu Li had helped, but right at this moment, the group of people carrying the torches finally arrived, easily controlling Bai Yining. Seeing that Bai Yining was taken away, Xue Fu immediately went to rescue him. Unexpectedly, the stone underneath his feet tilted, and his body plummeted down the cliff.

"Mistress!" Liu Li screamed as she reached out quickly to grab Xue Fu's wrist. With his other hand, he held on to the branch of the tree at the edge of the cliff, so scared that tears started to roll down his cheeks.

Xue Fu's body hung unsteadily on the edge of the cliff. She who was already heavily injured no longer had the strength to save herself, and could only command Liu Li: "Let go of my hand.

"NO!" I don't want it! " Liu Li was crying. Bai Yining also started to collapse and cry, but that cruel and bloodthirsty Yue Ye ruthlessly threw out a strike, causing the branch held by Liu Li to break. Liu Li and Xue Fu's bodies fell down at the same time while the people at the edge of the cliff turned a blind eye to them!

It wasn't that she chose to die, but that man at the edge of the cliff wanted her to die. She could no longer have any hopes of living. This life's love, the debt from her previous life, let her take it with her. She hoped that she would not have to meet him again in the next life, because she could not bear this heart-wrenching pain.

Heavy fog enveloped her, and she opened her eyes to see the flying stone falling from in front of her. He felt an indescribable pain in his heart, as well as endless resentment. That man she loved and hated had finally succeeded. He had successfully thrown her into this bottomless abyss. In the days to come, he might even wake up laughing in his dreams. Forget it! Forget it!

The scenery was still passing by. She tried to close her eyes, but her eyes met a pair of black eyes that seemed to be familiar with each other.

"You fell off the cliff, how can I stand on the cliff and watch?" The sound was like a dream, and the warm embrace. The wind was blowing through her hair, pulling at her dress. All of this suddenly made her feel at ease. Closing her eyes lightly, she let her enjoy this moment of being cared for. Although she could say that she didn't know this man before her!

Nangong Jue embraced her body, angry at her foolishness and lack of love for herself. With her own strength, how could she be a match for Yue Ye, that brutal Sovereign King? If she died, he wouldn't have any feelings for her.

The rustling of the wind, the rustling of the bamboo leaves, the chirping of the green spirit birds, and You Yang's sad flute melody. Xue Fu's eyelashes trembled, as if she was moved by the flute. He slightly opened his eyes and saw a small, soft thatched cottage with a pillar covered in moss. The thatched cottage was extremely small, and one could see the bamboo forest outside with a single glance.

Outside, a tall, muscular body stood with its back to her, the sound of a flute coming from him. If not for her understanding of Yue Ye's viciousness, she would have felt, at that moment, that she resembled him. Yue Ye wouldn't appear in front of her, and even if she knew her identity, she wouldn't beg her. An image suddenly flashed across her mind. She had fallen off the cliff, but at the critical moment, she saw a pair of gentle eyes, eyes that belonged to Nangong Jue!

Then this man in front of him is Nangong Jue? However, Xue Fu did not know that he had such excellent cooking skills. In fact, Nangong Jue had always been a mystery to Xue Fu. She had only met him twice in total, once outside the Pear Garden and once inside the Hall of Qing, and risked her life to stop him from poisoning Yue Ye. She suddenly felt completely foolish, Yue Ye! She had saved him, but he had treated her as his enemy. He had spoken cold words to her, and had even pushed her into the valley of death!

Xue Fu moved her body with much difficulty. The pain from her entire body caused her to break out in a cold sweat. In particular, the pain in her body was like being burned by fire, and Yue Ye's palm was not light at all. At this moment, she felt her vital energy and blood weakening, losing even the strength to stand up. Because the wind was strong, she attempted to pull at the black gown covering her body, which had a faint, foreign, and male scent, without much thought, she could tell that it was Nangong Jue's clothes. This aura was also unique, and belonged to his smell!

The piper outside the house was attentive and earnest. The sound of the flute echoed through the warm sunset in the green forest, and the fluttering birds sang merrily to the sound. His eyes were filled with mixed emotions: happiness, sadness. The sound of the flute followed his mood. Sometimes it was happy, sometimes it was sad. The sound of the flute was suddenly cut off by a soft moan. Nangong Jue trembled, and immediately turned around, facing Xue Fu who was as weak as a broken flower, face full of regret.

"You're awake." Nangong Jue kept the flute and walked over to Xue Fu. He looked down on her and asked: "How do you feel? Is it hard to bear? "

Xue Fu did not answer his question. Instead, she held her breath and stared at him as she asked: "Where's Liu Li? "Where's elder sister?" She had come back to life. Bai Yining who was captured by the soldiers, Liu Li who fell off the cliff with her, how were they?

Nangong Jue never thought that she would ask this, and sighed helplessly: "Miss Bai has already been brought back to the government, but don't worry, as long as you are willing to protect her, she will be fine, and Liu Li …" His voice suddenly stopped. With a sympathetic expression, he said, "The bottom of the cliff is too deep. If you fall down, you will definitely die. Even if you don't die, you won't be able to walk up."

Xue Fu was startled, her pale face turned pale as she stared at Nangong Jue, stunned. Large tears rolled down her face as she lay on the bed howling and crying. The crying sound seemed to have been suppressed for a long time. There was a lot of pain waiting to be released. Her delicate shoulders trembled, and her pitiful appearance was enough to make anyone's heart hurt.

Although Liu Li was a servant of the Bai Clan, she grew up with her. Together, they practiced kung fu in Miaofeng Temple, and their relationship was comparable to that of a sister by blood. Now that Nangong Jue had told her that Liu Li had died, she was naturally heartbroken. If he had insisted on not letting Liu Li accompany him, would she have sacrificed her life for him?

Her tears mixed with the rustling of the wind in the bamboo forest made her seem creepy and terrifying on the quiet mountain top. The sunlight shone through the sparse bamboo leaves, turning into golden powder that jumped about. The beauty and terror of it all did not enter Xue Fu's eyes or her heart. The tears did not release the bitterness in her heart, but she did not stop.

Nangong Jue looked at her pitiful appearance and his heart stirred. His warm palm pressed on her shoulder and lightly patted her shoulder as he comforted her: "Miss Bai, you cannot revive when you are dead. You cannot cry anymore.

The delicate, intelligent, and intelligent woman in front of him, like a little bird, perched on his heartstrings without any warning, touched him. Emotion was always a wonderful thing. Sometimes, one eye and one action could be deeply imprinted into another person's heart. At this moment, the girl in front of him had captured his heart.

Nangong Jue wanted to make her happy, but he didn't know what he could do. All he could do was stand by her side and listen to her weeping, and feel ashamed. Then, under his gaze, he suddenly raised his head and firmly said a few words, "I want to return to the palace!"

She almost bit her teeth as she said these words. Her firm eyes were even full of tears. She stopped crying, but it was even more worrisome than when she was crying. The intensity of the tears made it hard to believe what she would do next. Nangong Jue's heart sank as he said instinctively, "Your internal injuries are too severe, so it's not appropriate for you to return to the palace."

Xue Fu laughed sinisterly, laughed coldly, looked at him and said: "Could it be that you're worried that I will assassinate that tyrant? "Don't worry, I'll be more cautious than you." Perhaps she would hate him to the bone, perhaps she would find the right opportunity to kill him. However, she would be very careful. While her mother was still in the Bai Clan, she would not let herself die so easily in the Imperial Palace.

Her failure to achieve great fortune this time signified that her life should not end. If she were to be left in the world, her mission would eventually come to an end. The one who allowed her to live was the unfamiliar Crown Prince of the Northern Kingdom. Xue Fu slowly propped herself up, a look of gratitude appeared in her eyes. She looked at him and said gratefully, "Your Highness, Xue Fu has not thanked you yet.

She didn't know why Nangong Jue would risk his life to save her, but she couldn't be bothered to say that he and her were just two strangers that didn't know each other. As a concubine that the Emperor of Yue did not want, how could she get the help of such a noble person?
