Chapter 540: Chapter 540 Grand Finale (4)_1
Focused solely on revenge, Qiao Huang didn’t notice a strange fluctuation in the air behind him.
Dugu Qianye led Hao Pengyou and the others to a mountain not far away. There happened to be a cave halfway up the mountain, and they quickly got off Xiaohuo and sought shelter inside.
After entering, Hao Pengyou spat out a mouthful of blood, startling Nangong Feifei into a shiver. She hurriedly helped him sit down and asked anxiously, "Pengyou, how are you doing?"
Dugu Qianye walked in, glanced at the blood on the ground, fed him a pill of elixir, and said, "Don’t worry, you won’t die!"
Seeing Dugu Qianye, Nangong Feifei rose to pay respects and said, "Thank you for your rescue today. Otherwise, Pengyou, I, and those guards would have..."
Dugu Qianye helped Nangong Feifei up and said, "What’s there to thank for? Although some people acted without considering the consequences, as your junior martial sister, could I not save you from death?"
"Junior martial sister..." Hao Pengyou looked at Dugu Qianye and called out softly. He knew Dugu Qianye was angry. Today’s situation was indeed dangerous. If it weren’t for their rescue, everyone would have perished on the execution stage! But he didn’t feel any regret. To watch Nangong Feifei suffer such humiliation, he would rather die with her today!
Seeing the look on Hao Pengyou, Dugu Qianye understood his thoughts. She sighed and said, "What about you! If you had really lost your life here, what would the master do? How heartbroken would he be? I’m not saying it’s wrong to save people, but doing so without any plan, not only did you fail to save anyone, you also implicated others and lost lives! Could you bear to watch Feifei die with you? These Hidden Guards are neither your relatives nor friends, but because of you, they lost their lives. Don’t you feel guilty?"
"I..." Overwhelmed by Dugu Qianye’s rebuke, Hao Pengyou felt he owed those Hidden Guards. He could die with Nangong Feifei but couldn’t drag others down with him. Struggling to his feet, he bowed deeply to the guards and said, "Pengyou was rash today, causing everyone to suffer with me. Pengyou feels deeply ashamed!"
"The young master is too severe! We are ordered by the king to protect you, so naturally, we stand with you. If you fall, we have no face to return to see the king," one guard responded.
Nangong Feifei, hearing Dugu Qianye reprimand Hao Pengyou, stayed silent. She understood Hao Pengyou’s feelings. If she had known he was suffering, she would have risked everything to save him, but she also agreed that his actions today were too reckless.
"Cough cough..." Hao Pengyou’s movements caused him to cough again, spitting out a lot of blood.
"Pengyou!" Nangong Feifei saw him vomiting blood and asked crying, "Pengyou, how are you? Why are you still vomiting blood? Don’t scare me!"
Hao Pengyou wiped the tears from her face with his hand, inadvertently smearing his blood across her cheeks. Looking into her bright eyes, he smiled and said slowly, "If I die, leave with junior martial sister. Start anew. You will have a new life, your happiness... cough cough..."
Nangong Feifei shook her head ceaselessly, saying, "No, no..."
Looking at her, Hao Pengyou’s eyes were filled with reluctance and pain: "I can depart in peace only if you are happy..."
Hao Pengyou’s hand slowly drooped, scaring Nangong Feifei into widening her eyes, as if plunged into an icy abyss. Grasping his falling hand to her face, she cried out, "No, no, Pengyou, don’t leave! What will I do if you go? No, Pengyou, don’t go, don’t... If you go, who will bring me happiness? Without you, where can I find happiness? Just come back, and I will agree to anything! Okay? Pengyou! Pengyou! Wait for me, we promised, no matter where, we would always be together!"
Nangong Feifei grew more heartbroken as she spoke, tears falling like pearls without string. The Hidden Guards, seeing her in utter despair, couldn’t bear it; some even turned away, unable to watch them.
"Pengyou, wait for me!" Nangong Feifei said, taking out a dagger and aiming for her own chest.
"Clang!" Dugu Qianye, who was behind, saw Nangong Feifei’s action and released a burst of Spiritual Power to knock the dagger away.
Dugu Qianye sighed heavily, feeling utterly speechless in her heart. Hadn’t she just said Hao Pengyou wouldn’t die? Why was Nangong Feifei crying so heartbreakingly and even attempting to kill herself for love?
"If you die, when he wakes up, he’ll probably want to follow your example!" Dugu Qianye spoke up.
Upon hearing Dugu Qianye’s words, Nangong Feifei’s vacant eyes slowly regained focus, and she looked at Dugu Qianye with hope, asking, "Can Pengyou still come back to life?"
Sweat—
"He’s not dead!" Dugu Qianye said, "It’s just that his injuries are too severe, and the Elixir he took was too strong, temporarily stopping his heartbeat."
Sure enough, in less than a moment, Hao Pengyou suddenly coughed twice, spat out more blood, and slowly opened his eyes. Seeing the tear-streaked face of Nangong Feifei and noticing the dagger on the ground from the corner of his eye, he weakly said, "I heard someone say, in a somewhat hazy state, that they would agree to anything if I came back."
Nangong Feifei nodded, her face with tears looking quite pitiable. Hao Pengyou reached out to pull her down to him, letting her rest on his chest, and said, "Feifei, I want you to live, to live well, and to live happily."
Nangong Feifei, feeling his heartbeat, suddenly realized that all the problems she had been agonizing over weren’t problems at all. She nodded and said, "As long as I have you, everything is possible."
Dugu Qianye gave a look to the others, and everyone quietly left the room. Once outside, Xiaohuo asked Dugu Qianye, "Sister, you did that on purpose just now, didn’t you?"
"Yes!" Dugu Qianye admitted crisply.
"Sister, you’re so naughty!" Xiaohuo said with a laugh.
"Hmm, perhaps a little," Zi Xiao said. A few Hidden Guards agreed with Xiaohuo in their hearts, but they didn’t dare say it out loud.
Dugu Qianye gave them a sharp look and said, "What I did was for their own good! I could see right from the start that Nangong Feifei is quite a stubborn woman, and the tribulations she underwent in hell have left her with inner scars. Without breaking through this barrier, they would never be able to be together. And the most effective way was to let them experience a parting of life and death, to realize their truest feelings."
"But your method was also too..." Xiaohuo struggled to find the right word. To say it was good, yet Nangong Feifei had been so heartbroken; to say it was not good, but it truly did open her heart.
Standing on the mountainside, looking at the dark world, Dugu Qianye really wanted to destroy it. Looking at crows perched on withered branches, she said, "After such commotion, Yong Xing should receive the news. I wonder if we can find the Dark Spiritual Bead before he arrives."
"Yan Yi has already followed him, if Qiao Huang is going for the Dark Spiritual Bead, we will surely get the news," Zi Xiao said.
