Chapter 421 - 421 Is My Time Coming to an End?
421 Is My Time Coming to an End?
Dong Xi thought, ‘Does Shangguan Yun’er know that the heart in her body actually belongs to someone else?’
Shangguan Yun’er noticed Dong Xi’s strange gaze. Shangguan Yun’er said, “Husband, why are you looking at me like that?”
Only then did Dong Xi come back to her senses and put Shangguan Yun’er’s arm under the blanket.
“Madam…” Dong Xi replied in a superior manner.
However, before she could continue, Shangguan Yun’er interrupted Dong Xi. Shangguan Yun’er said, “Husband, is my time coming to an end?”
Dong Xi was stunned for a moment before looking at Shangguan Yun’er.
Shangguan Yun’er’s face was pale, but her eyes were exceptionally bright.
Seeing that Dong Xi did not say anything, Shangguan Yun’er sighed and said, “Husband, I know I’m about to die. Can you do me a favor?”
Dong Xi’s mood was very complicated, but she still said, “What is it?”
Shangguan Yun’er turned her head, blood flowing out from the corner of her mouth.
Shangguan Yun’er wiped her face with a handkerchief and said, “I want to find someone.”
“Who?” asked Dong Xi in confusion.
“I don’t know what his name is, nor do I know what he looks like…” Shangguan Yun’er said.
“How do we find him?” Dong Xi frowned.
“This person has my jade pendant on him. It was left behind by my mother. Back then, I had someone secretly send him away and leave it for him…” Shangguan Yun’er said.
It was just two short sentences, but Shangguan Yun’er seemed to have used up all of her life’s energy.
“I’m dying,” Shangguan Yun’er said, clutching her heart. “But I hope I can return his heart to him before I die.”
Dong Xi was a little surprised. Then, she pretended not to know anything and said, “Heart?”
Shangguan Yun’er nodded and said, “That’s right. I should have died ten years ago. Because of his heart, I lived for another ten years. I’ve always wanted to return it, but I couldn’t leave the Shangguan Residence…”
A dying person’s words were kind. Dong Xi looked at Shangguan Yun’er’s pale face and thought about how much pain Senior Brother Rui Ming had endured because his heart was stolen by these people.
At this moment, Dong Xi recalled that moment when she was stabbed to death again. She understood how Shangguan Yun’er was feeling…
Dong Xi’s eyes slowly turned gloomy. Dong Xi looked at Shangguan Yun’er and said, “I’ll bring you to him.”
As soon as they left the door, Little Yue stopped the two of them. Little Yue said, “Young Master, where are you bringing the Young Miss?”
Dong Xi looked at the anxious Little Yue and said, “It has nothing to do with you.”
“Young Miss is seriously ill,” Little Yue said. “She must recuperate in the mansion. If you take her out, will you be able to bear the consequences?”
Dong Xi raised her eyebrows and said meaningfully, “What a loyal servant. Are you stopping me now because you’re worried that something might happen to the Young Miss, or are you afraid that something might happen to you?”
Dong Xi stared straight at Little Yue. Little Yue seemed to have been seen through and started to avoid her gaze.
Dong Xi carried Shangguan Yun’er and went around Little Yue, continuing to walk outside. Little Yue regained her senses and hurriedly chased after her.
“Young Miss, Young Master, could it be that you’re willing to see the 200 people in the mansion die with you?” Little Yue asked.
Little Yue’s eyes widened and were bloodshot.
His expression was also very complicated. She was a little angry, worried, and… afraid.
Dong Xi stopped and looked at Little Yue, who had a twisted face, and said, “You are all alive to help prolong Yun’er’s life, right? Do you think you’ll be fine forever just because the knife isn’t on your head? Naive!”
Dong Xi continued to walk out. Little Yue wanted to stop her, but she realized that she could not catch up.
Little Yue was also a cultivator, so she immediately saw that Dong Xi’s movement technique was extraordinary.
Dong Xi carried Little Yue out of the mansion’s gate and flew directly to the seaside.
Shangguan Yun’er heard the sound of the waves and tried hard to open her eyes.
Speaking of which, it was quite funny. Shangguan Yun’er grew up on the island, but this was her first time going to the seaside.
“Husband, where are we going?” Shangguan Yun’er asked.
Dong Xi did not say anything. She took Shangguan Yunrui to the flying device and flew toward the island.
Placing Shangguan Yun’er on the reef, Dong Xi took out her communication jade slip and sent a message to Senior Brother Rui Ming, but there was no reply.
Dong Xi thought for a moment, took out the feather, and said in a low voice, “Senior Brother Rui Ming, where are you? Can you hear me?”
…
She repeated it a few times, but there was still no response. Dong Xi immediately panicked.
Previously, Dong Xi had gone to the entrance of the Shangguan Residence to pick up Senior Brother Rui Ming when something happened to him. This time, could Senior Brother Rui Ming have met with an accident again?
Shangguan Yun’er sat up from the reef and said, “Husband, did something happen?”
Dong Xi did not say anything. She kept the feather and went directly to Shangguan Yun’er.
