Yan Huifeng looked at Sui Yi: "You all saw that there are few children in the Morton Tribe. I noticed many of these children were taken to the Snow God Mountain, hidden by the people of the Morton Tribe... Morton previously took all the blame upon himself on purpose, also to exonerate these tribal people..."

Most people present had noticed this too, and were both curious and unavoidably melancholic. Even the worst person has a place for kindness in their heart.

Morton’s only mercy was that he was indeed willing to give up everything for the Morton Tribe in his life.

Including ambition.

Otherwise, these people of the Morton Tribe wouldn’t respect him, just because he didn’t offer those children to the Snow God Mountain, but hid them instead...

"Now that Morton is dead, I see the people in the Morton Tribe don’t have much understanding of the Snow God Mountain either. The reality inside is hard to gauge, really needing us to work together. Naturally, we can’t leave too few people behind, lest the other side takes a potshot at us," Fu Qian said boldly, glancing directly at Du Gourou: "You brat, even though you don’t have much martial strength, you should be careful enough to take care of the servants."

Du Gourou glared, righteously: "What’s this about me not having much martial strength... Sure, I indeed don’t have much martial strength, but I have boy’s urine!"

Everyone held their foreheads, young man, that’s indeed not something worth bragging about.

"Uh..." Sui Yi looked at Du Gourou, murmuring: "Could you prepare some for people to take up...?"

Prepare what? Boy’s urine?

Du Gourou’s face turned red instantly, he twisted the hem of his clothes, nodding meekly: "Alright~~"

Everyone: Damn!

Where’s the promised masculinity!

Everything was settled, Sui Yi went out to exchange another batch of herbs when suddenly he saw Wu Xie not far outside the tent.

It’s as if Wu Xie knew Sui Yi was coming out.

Wu Xie turned around and said, "I didn’t catch up with him... He learned Dongying ninjutsu."

Huh? This Liew Baiyi is really troublesome, he hadn’t been in this world long before getting involved with Dongying, though some hints of it could be seen back in Luoyang.

He truly is someone who stops at nothing.

Sui Yi nodded: "If you didn’t catch up, you didn’t. Anyway, we’ll meet him again..."

As she spoke, she opened her palm to reveal a piece of emerald green jade, with the word "Qi Lian" carved on it.

The emerald was endearing and very Agile.

Wu Xie looked at it, his eyes filled with nostalgia and sadness: "She’s on the Snow God Mountain... After all these years of wandering in search, I didn’t expect her to be here,..."

Moreover, subjected to blood sacrifice, life or death unknown.

Wu Xie didn’t go berserk, because the timing wasn’t right yet.

But.... 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

"Are you giving her to me? This was originally yours to her..."

Wu Xie and Qi Lian, being husband and wife, naturally knew much about the High Priest, and now this statement also informed his judgment of Sui Yi.

The High Priest.

At least half of it is the High Priest.

"Once I gave it to her, it’s hers, and if she gave it to you, then it’s yours."

Wu Xie raised an eyebrow slightly: "How do you know Qi Lian gave it to me?"

Sui Yi pinched it between her fingers, slowly saying: "A lifetime of love, no regrets in life or death, that’s the Spiritual Heart Jade, since you are her husband, she must have you in her heart, and it’s long been linked to a wisp of your life’s spirit, so it’s yours..."

Having said that, she pressed forward with her fingers, placing the Spiritual Heart Jade on Wu Xie’s heart.

"Once, she was the youngest, adorable and naive, later amidst the chaos, I don’t know what really became of her... but now, it seems, she has grown up."

She lowered her gaze, after the Spiritual Heart Jade entered Wu Xie’s heart, she withdrew her hand and turned to leave.

Wu Xie’s hand pressed on his chest, gently feeling the heartbeat, as if it took him back to the time she gave him an enamored glance, that familiar feeling....

"Qi Lian, you were right... your High Priest will surely return..."

She is indeed starting to return now.

Wu Xie was very sure of this.

The next day, a group of people was already getting ready to set off, Shang Xiuxun and the Flying Horse Ranch people quickly tamed a dozen fast horses, in total eighteen people were preparing to head to the Snow God Mountain, including the fat An Long. The others guessed that the fatty might have come under Shi Zhixuan’s orders, and since Shi Zhixuan escaped from the Snow God Mountain once, he must have told the fatty some things, so bringing him was beneficial.

Leaving behind past grudges, the mixed group mounted their horses together.

Suddenly, many people from the Morton Tribe rushed over, kneeling directly in front of Sui Yi.

"Great one, great one... our children have been taken away... please, you must save them."

Hmm?

Taken away?

A few women explained in a few words, it turned out they indeed hid the tribal children in a cave at the foot of the Snow God Mountain, thinking the most dangerous place was the safest. Probably, even the Snow God Mountain people didn’t expect Morton’s imagination to go so far, so they’ve never been able to find those children, yet just yesterday.... when the Morton Tribe people went to fetch those children, they found only the dry corpses of elderly men on the ground, while all the children were gone.
