Starting from the dark corner, the darkness slowly expanded, spread, and finally occupied the sky.
In the main hall, Taki looked like he was in a bad mood. He kept a straight face and stared coldly at the moon outside the window. It was quiet everywhere. Some of the retainers heard that something had happened to His Highness. They all wanted to show off in front of Long, so they rushed to the main hall in the middle of the night. Now, they were standing beside Long with their heads lowered, waiting for Long's orders. No one dared to say a word. Everyone was acting according to the situation. No one wanted to get into trouble. As the saying goes, the bird that sticks out gets shot…
Acting Director Shun, the executive director, and the director of China Youth were also on their way…
"I say, Shundai, why are we in such a hurry? If His Highness finds out that we instigated Xiao Ru to sacrifice herself, won't we be walking into a trap?”
"I didn't expect that His Highness would send so many people to find a little girl. Shundai, if we are found before Xiaoru completes the sacrifice, we will be in big trouble.”
Shundai acted as if it had nothing to do with him and sneered," Don't worry, I expected His Highness to find out about Xiaoru's disappearance so soon." If I didn't have absolute confidence, why would I act on my own?”
"So you were prepared?"
"What is it?"
"No matter what, I won't let Xiao Ru return to Anderges Castle. How could a lowly person like her with an unknown background be worthy of staying by the side of our esteemed Highness?”
"Hahaha…since Deputy Shun is so confident, we have nothing to worry about. Now, just wait and see…"
The small path illuminated by the moonlight appeared faint and colorful. In the gorgeous sky, the stars twinkled with beautiful longing. There was no urgency to step on my own path.
Ma Xiaoru quietly walked on the path to her destiny alone. Looking at the familiar scenery, she could not help but feel ripples in her heart. Usually, whenever he couldn't figure out something, he would hide by the Holy Water Lake and sit quietly in his usual place until his heart calmed down. He did not expect that it would become his final destination.
This is good too. The sacrificial system has been abolished. Master Long will be very happy. He had long realized that he was a thorn in the side of those directors, but he did not expect them to do this. However, he was still able to help Master Long in the end. This was the greatest blessing that the heavens had given him.
I wonder if Lan Lan and the others can serve Master Long well? He wondered if they remembered what he had told them in the afternoon. If my ancestors care for me, I hope that my soul will be able to accompany Lord Long after my death and protect him.
When she thought of Master Long, Lil Ru felt like she was choking, and she couldn't breathe. The feeling of heartache was even more unbearable. Ma Xiaoru panted heavily and knelt on the ground with weak legs. She clutched the clothes in front of her chest tightly, hoping that the pain would be reduced a little. She hoped that she could hold on until the end.
Suddenly, a group of men in black rushed out from the bushes and surrounded Ma Xiaoru in a few seconds. Ma Xiaoru endured the pain and looked at the person in front of her. She did not panic and smiled calmly."Agent Shun can't even wait this little bit of time?~~ Lord Long has already noticed that I'm missing, right?!”He looked at the sky." There's not much time left…"
Without any explanation, one of the men in black stepped forward and picked up Xiaoru. Without delay, the group immediately rushed to the Holy Water Lake.
Ma Xiaoru looked at the fast-moving road under her feet in a daze. She did not struggle and leaned against it obediently. The violent shaking made Ma Xiaoru feel a little dizzy. Memories of her meeting with Master Long flashed through her mind from time to time. I can't forget it no matter how hard I throw it ~~
Ma Xiaoru held the loyal earring that Master Long had given her. Even if she left, she wanted to take something with her…Ma Xiaoru knew very well that in Master Long's heart, they were only master and servant. She didn't expect anything else. The difference between her and Lord Long's status was something that couldn't be crossed. Although he knew, he still held onto hope. Even though he knew that the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. No matter how painful it was, he could endure it.
However, at least he didn't have to worry now.
Gauss led a large group of people to search the Holy Water Lake.
"Xiao Ru! " Don't do anything stupid," Gauss said as he carefully observed the surrounding terrain. He knew the only shortest path, but if Ma Xiaoru knew that we would search from that path, she wouldn't have taken the proper path. No…I have to calm down first. What if Ma Xiaoru didn't think too much about it? Then…
"Men, lead a team and start looking for the holy lake from the forest. And you, lead Team Four and start searching from the waterway below. The rest of you, follow me up the way we came."
"Yes!"
Lil Ru, you can't let anything happen to you. How can you be defeated by those old fellows? You can't. Gauss, who was looking for him along the way, soon arrived at the grove. Suddenly, something flashed in front of her eyes and she saw some footprints on the ground!! Instantly, she was so nervous that her heart was in her throat. Damn it!! He was actually a step too late!
"Listen up, everyone ~ Hurry up and catch up to them. If you can't catch him, you don't have to return to Anderith.”
"Understood!"
Ma Xiaoru's consciousness was already a little blurry, so she could not think of anything else.
Moonlight shone on the surface of the lake. The reflection of the moon was faintly submerged in the water. The mist lingered around the lake, and the air was humid. Black shadows floated on the surface of the lake. Perhaps they were the souls of the legendary ancestors.
"What are you looking at? Hurry up and throw him down!”The eerie scene made everyone afraid to approach.
"But…"
"Do you want to disobey orders?"
" I don't dare…" He carried Xiaoru and walked towards the lake. When he reached the lakeside, he threw Xiaoru into the water. The man in black was about to leave when he tripped over the water grass by the lake. He dove into the water and disappeared in front of everyone in an instant…
The faces of the people behind him turned pale. Someone shouted,"It's eating people. The evil spirit is eating people."
Without a careful inspection, everyone began to run for their lives.
Icy ~ Soft ~ Is it the lake water?
It's so uncomfortable ~~ so uncomfortable ~~ I can't breathe ~~
He slowly opened his eyes ~ There was light? Ripples appeared on the water…
On the surface of the lake…was it moonlight? It was shining everywhere, so beautiful…
I'm so sleepy ~ I'm so tired ~ When she closed her eyes, she thought to herself,"Master Long, I hope you will be happy…I love you…I will follow your promise and follow you with my soul for the rest of my life.”
The men in black who had escaped the same way happened to meet Gauss 'troops. Gauss saw that Ma Xiaoru was no longer in their hands, which meant that their mission had been completed. Was it too late? She was so nervous that her heart was in her throat.
" Take everyone down…" Gauss ordered, and the two teams started fighting. Gauss knew that now was not the time to fight. He had to save Ma Xiaoru immediately.
Gauss agilely dodged the incoming attacks and rushed towards the Holy Water Lake.
Gauss, who had arrived at the Holy Water Lake, looked around but did not see Ma Xiaoru. The ripples left on the surface of the water scared Gauss. Without much thought, he jumped into the lake…
After ten minutes of battle, Gauss 'elite troops successfully captured all the men in black.
Gauss, who was still searching in the lake, began to worry that Ma Xiaoru was doomed. Just as he was about to give up, a small cotton bag floated in front of him. Gauss grabbed it and opened it. It was an earring. Following the direction of the earring, Gauss found Ma Xiaoru, who was already unconscious.
The scattered hair floated in her hand. Ma Xiaoru closed her eyes in peace and smiled. The silk dress drifted with the flow. It was transparent and shiny. Vaguely, black smoke surrounded Ma Xiaoru, as if she was being held in his hands…
Very beautiful…very beautiful…so beautiful that one couldn't look away…
In the main hall, he looked at the full moon in the sky. Long felt a sharp pain in his heart. Could it be that Ma Xiaoru…
Suddenly, they heard a series of hurried footsteps, and everyone's hearts jumped. The directors looked at each other and started discussing.
"They're back. I wonder if they found anyone.”The executive director asked softly.
"..." Shundai and Zhongqing didn't answer because they didn't know either. They frowned and could only watch the last step.
Suddenly, Gauss appeared in front of the hall, drenched. He carried the pale Ma Xiaoru with both hands and walked toward Long. Taurus 'eyes were wide open as he watched. No one around him said anything. All that was left was Gauss 'heavy footsteps…
A pale and powerless hand rippled in the air, and her heart hung in the air for a long time without stopping…
Gauss kneeled on the ground in front of Taki with a sad expression. He gently put Ma Xiaoru down and lowered his head, sobbing," Your Highness... I'm useless... I didn't complete the mission."”
Some people were happy while others were sad. Shun Dai and Zhong Qing smiled at each other in a corner where no one could see them. They finally put down a big stone in their hearts.
Taki came to Ma Xiaoru and squatted down on one knee. He did not fly into a rage or look sad. He only stared at Ma Xiaoru's pale face angrily. Gauss took out the earring." I found it with Xiaoru.”
Taki glanced at it and swung his hand, sending the earring flying a few meters away.
He sneered at Ma Xiaoru coldly." Do you want to die? I'll grant you your wish." Even if you die, you will die in my hands.
What Taki did next made everyone gasp. They were all dumbstruck.
Long was so angry that he grabbed Ma Xiaoru's neck and strangled her without letting go.
Gauss was stunned. He grabbed Taki's hand and tried to push him away." Your Highness!! What are you doing? Let go."
Taki couldn't hear Gauss 'voice at all. He only knew that Gauss had been hindering him. Taki's head was still in a daze. He grabbed Ma Xiaoru's neck with both hands, lifted her up, and threw her onto Gauss.
Gauss quickly rushed over and hugged Ma Xiaoru, and the two of them rolled out together.
Taki, who had no intention of letting them go, slowly approached Gauss and Ma Xiaoru.
Suddenly, there were a few coughs…
Everyone looked at Gauss in disbelief. Even Taki stopped in his tracks.
Gauss looked at Ma Xiaoru in his arms in surprise. Ma Xiaoru coughed violently and spat out a mouthful of water. Ma Xiaoru, who seemed to have recovered, took a deep breath and fainted in Gauss 'arms.
