Strongest Lady's

Ch. 67-The Truth

Meigui ran, passing dozens of bodies of warriors lying covered in blood on the ground. All he was looking for was one, Ye Jinhai.

“G-Teacher!”

Meigui hurriedly approached the figure of Ye Jinhai who was now lying on the ground, Meigui carefully checked the pulse of the teacher. However, his hope was lost instantly realizing there were no signs of life from his teacher.

With a trembling hand Meigui checked Ye Jinhai's breath, nil, Meigui really could not find any signs of life on his teacher's body.

The girl turned around, looking at Ye Nian with teary eyes. Meigui got up, hugged Ye Nian tightly.

Finally Ye Nian's cry broke out, the boy sobbing in Meigui's arms.

Meanwhile Weiruo watched from a distance, for him who had already faced so many missions with life stakes, the thing before him at this moment was not a surprise. But Weiruo also understood the feelings of Meigui and Ye Nian, who would not be sad when their families were gone? Even Weiruo was always thinking about the safety of his family now.

Weiruo called Da Feng, asking the young man to dig the ground to bury all the warriors who died in battle.

Ye Nian did not stop crying, even though Meigui had tried to calm him down, Ye Nian still cried hugging the body of the grandfather.

How could Ye Nian stop crying if the figure who had been taking care of him since childhood had left. The only one who was beside Ye Nian when he lay sick for days was only the grandfather, how could Ye Nian not be hysterical?

“Ye Nian...,” call Weiruo.

Ye Nian turned to the girl, then ran over and hugged Weiruo as the girl gestured to her.

Weiruo gestured for Da Feng and Shulong to move Ye Jinhai's body. Unlike the Fog Sect warriors whose bodies were made one and no matter how they were positioned, Da Feng buried the bodies of the swordsmen of the Green Mountain Sect better.

The tomb of the swordsman of the Green Mountain Sect was made under the hill where the sect stood with a large stone inscribed with ‘The Swordsman of the Green’ Mountain Sect on it.

It took a long time to pacify Ye Nian and Meigui, especially Ye Nian who refused to leave his grandfather's grave.

Finally after a bit of persuasion Weiruo managed to take Ye Nian away.

***

Weiruo sat beside his bedroom window and stared at the bustling city streets. Da Feng went to look for information of the assault that happened to the Green Mountain Sect yesterday, whereas Shulong also went to look for the rumored existence of the demon.

Weiruo actually wanted to leave as well, but Shulong asked her to stay at the inn and watch over Ye Nian and Meigui.

Weiruo exhaled softly, thinking about what he should do to Ye Nian and Meigui.

Two days before Da Feng suddenly met him and said if the Green Mountain Sect was in trouble

Weiruo certainly did not have the heart especially after Da Feng said that the Green Mountain Sect was surrounded by the Mist Sect. Ye Jinhai had a pretty good relationship with him, so Weiruo could not ignore them and invited Da Feng and Shulong to go to the Green Mountain Sect.

“Do I have to keep them?” Weiruo looked at the clear blue sky, asking himself.

Not knowing what to do, Weiruo finally chose to practice.

Quickly day after night, Shulong returned and met Weiruo who was accompanying Meigui in his room.

“How?” weiruo asked as soon as Shulong walked into the room.

Weiruo was disappointed, but he also did not expect much because the Sacred Beasts had hidden themselves for hundreds of years after the massive war hundreds of years ago.

“We will return to the palace in three days. Meigui, restore yourself.”

Meigui nodded in understanding, the girl from yesterday did not come out of her room, just quietly shut herself up. Tonight I was only able to meet Weiruo, but Meigui still did not say much.

Weiruo takes Shulong away and leaves Meigui alone, the girl intends to meet Ye Nian, unfortunately Ye Nian still refuses to see anyone.

***

The day kept changing, Weiruo took Meigui and Ye Nian back with him to Zhongxin City, where the two would be safe under Weiruo's protection.

It was a bit difficult to persuade Ye Nian, the boy had to be forcefully put to sleep for Weiruo to take him. Weiruo saw clearly if Ye Nian was thinner than before, it was because Ye Nian had refused to eat anything for the past three days. If not for Meigui's persuasion, perhaps Ye Nian really did not eat anything.

They immediately drove the horse out of the city. Actually they could have traveled without using a horse, but Weiruo chose to use a horse because he thought about Meigui and Ye Nian's condition which was still unstable.

They arrive after such a long journey, Weiruo sends Meigui to the training ground and asks Shulong to keep an eye on Meigui, fearing that the girl might run away and come to the Mist Sect.

Tonight Weiruo sat in her room enjoying a snack brought by Yinyi.

It had been almost 2 weeks Da Feng had left, the girl was only expecting the best because the Fog Sect was not a sect that could be underestimated.

Weiruo turned his gaze out the window, then a second later a figure in all-black clothes jumped down from the tree.

“I'm back!” Da Feng opened his face cover and smiled widely.

“It looks like you got valuable information. Login.”

Da Feng jumped in as soon as Weiruo said so, the young man sat before Weiruo and let out a long breath.

“How?” ask Weiruo.

“Your guess is right! Not a single member of the Green Mountain Sect killed Zu Chong's disciple. Disciple Zu Chong was killed due to a quarrel with one of the sect elders. The elder did not want to be a suspect and made use of the existence of the Green Mountain Sect disciples who were around his location killing that disciple,” Da Feng explained meticulously.

Not to forget also Da Feng explained who was involved. Zai Hu was the elder that Da Feng meant. The reason Zai Hu killed the student was the rejection that occurred after he offered the student to be his protege rather than Zu Cheng.

“So it's like that. Hence a sect has been destroyed.”

The teacup in Weiruo's hand had a fine crack because Weiruo subconsciously held the cup too tightly.

“Is there any other information?”

“Nothing, very difficult to find information there, the guard is very ke—uhuk!”

Da Feng covered his mouth, fresh blood dripping from between the fingers of the hand covering his mouth.

“Ah..?”

Da Feng's mouth trembled, his breathing started to irregularly and his face turned pale in no time.
