These three months, there were no overt or covert struggles. Such a stagnant life made Su Xuan feel it was utterly aningless, as if life had beco a stagnant pool.
"Haha, that makes sense. In this short life of re decades, the weak always long to retreat to the shadows of the mountains and forests. It would be cleaner to just end it all with one cut, bury oneself deep, and finish. Since we have co into this world, we should live as outstanding n and die as valiant ghosts. If we don’t stir up a storm, how can we asure up to this body we have!"
Brother ng was greatly influenced by Su Xuan, this brute, having developed a curiosity and exploration for life.
After three days and nights in the desert, finally, on the fourth day, they saw the oasis!
"It’s the oasis, there’s the oasis ahead!"
Suddenly soone shouted and jumped with excitent, and Su Xuan jumped off the cal, laughing heartily without any regard for his image.
"Haha, I’ve finally seen sothing green, how dear it is!"
As he gazed at the green mountains and waters in the distance, Su Xuan felt a long-lost familiarity return at that mont. To be honest, this desert was really a place that made people feel utterly deceived.
Su Xuan was still missing Xue ngxue a lot. Although he now had a beauty by his side, absence makes the heart grow fonder. Thinking of how Xue ngxue was doing, he really missed her. Just as he thought of finding Xue ngxue quickly, he saw what seed like a woman standing on a high tower, looking over in his direction.
"Brother ng, give the binoculars!"
Su Xuan said excitedly, hurriedly taking the binoculars, and upon looking through them, it really was Xue ngxue. Xue ngxue stood on top of the high tower, cloaked, looking like a stone waiting for her husband in the direction of the desert.
Since Su Xuan left Miaojiang and entered the desert, every day for four months, Xue ngxue would climb the high tower to see if Su Xuan had returned from the desert. For five months straight, no matter the weather, she never stopped.
Because the teorological station predicted a rare massive sandstorm in the desert, there were rumors that everyone inside was dead.
Upon hearing this news, Xue ngxue fainted directly. After waking up, she went to the high tower every day, hoping not only for Su Xuan’s return but also that, if Su Xuan really died, his soul would see her at first sight.
"Young Madam, let’s go back, the wind is strong today, and you have been here for over an hour!"
Hu Shulin said softly from beside her.
During this ti, thanks to Hu Shulin’s ticulous care, Heroic Manor was still holding on, albeit relying heavily on Hu Shulin. Su Xuan initially planned to go away for a month, thinking nothing unusual would happen, but no one expected it to extend for over half a year with no news. So people who escaped from the desert said that the inside had drastically changed, implying no one survived.
Initially, no one dared to challenge Heroic Manor because of Su Xuan’s Power of Majesty, but as various rumors spread, Heroic Manor fell into a deep crisis.
Xue ngxue, being a great beauty, was even more coveted by many people. They say beauty brings disaster, which isn’t wrong. Xue ngxue was too pretty, and even under Heroic Manor’s escort, people still lusted after her beauty.
Several tis Hu Shulin suggested sending Xue ngxue back to Jiangnan District, where security was better, but Xue ngxue flatly refused.
"Brother Hu, I dread of Big Brother Su last night, he was smiling at in the desert!"
Xue ngxue actually was looking in the wrong direction. She gazed at where Su Xuan had originally left. This ti, they didn’t return via the original route but from another path.
So she didn’t see them. On the tower, Xue ngxue gazed at the boundless desert, tears falling, splashing on the railing, scattering drops.
"Young Madam..."
Hu Shulin sighed helplessly. During this ti, he was physically and ntally exhausted as various forces began to squeeze Heroic Manor. To protect Xue ngxue, he had already used all energies.
Xue ngxue looked at the rolling sand in the distance, her eyes sowhat lost.
"Big Brother Su, Xue’er once said, when you live, I live. When you die, I must follow. Wait for !"
Xue ngxue said, suddenly leaping, directly jumping off the dozens of ters high tower!
"Young Madam!"
Hu Shulin shouted, almost throwing himself out at the fastest speed, grabbing Xue ngxue’s hand with one hand, and drawing the Bright Moon Sword with the other, stabbing it into the stone wall, luckily the Bright Moon Sword was sharp enough.
"Brother Hu, let go, Big Brother Su is gone, I don’t want to live either!"
Xue ngxue quickly said. Actually, her decision to jump also stemd from not wanting Heroic Manor’s people to suffer further for her sake, given the casualties they had already endured.
"Hold on, I am about to lose my grip!"
Hu Shulin shouted.
"Young Madam, we don’t know if Big Brother Su is dead, hold on to !"
Hu Shulin was near tears, really about to lose his hold.
At this mont, hundreds of ters away, seeing this scene, Su Xuan was shocked.
"ngxue!"
He shouted, quickly riding his horse at full speed.
"Winner, co with to save her!"
Brother ng was also shocked, rushing out quickly. At that mont, everyone’s heart was in their mouth, while Xu ngxue and the rest hadn’t noticed Su Xuan’s return.
"Brother Hu, after I die, disband Heroic Manor, and please take my ashes into the desert, I beg you!"
Xue ngxue said, releasing her hand. Hu Shulin’s grip slipped, and Xue ngxue’s body instantly fell.
"No..."
Hu Shulin shouted. As Xue ngxue’s body spun in the air, she saw Su Xuan charging towards her on horseback and thought she was hallucinating. They say people see what they desire most before dying.
"Big Brother Su, Xue’er is coming, wait for !"
Xue ngxue said with a touch of a bitter smile on her face.
"Tieniu! Ladder!"
Su Xuan shouted, leaping high, stepping on the horse’s back, his body soaring like an arrow released. The steed knelt to the ground, letting out a long neigh.
Tieniu quickly grabbed his shield, throwing it, it pierced the stone wall with a screech, Su Xuan stepped on the shield, his body rising once more.
