The young man was so angry his face turned red, “How unfilial! The crown prince loved and protected you in every way, yet you’re so heartless!”
Mei Kaiye raised an eyebrow, suddenly understanding his strange behavior, but not wanting to explain further, “Be good. I’ll explain to you next time. Now move.”
Mei Kaiye lazily waved her hand, nimbly jumped onto the horse, shouted “Giddy up,” and rode away.
Ten Thousand Years of Calamity Encounters Danger (2)
Arriving at a mountain outside the city, it was said that Fei Zuo had disappeared here. Mei Kai Ye wandered through the mountain forest, finding no clues. She simply walked towards the forest’s edge.
The mountain forest was surrounded by mountains, with a cliff on one side. Naturally, Mei Kai Ye arrived at the cliff.
Two woodcutters were sitting and chatting. Upon seeing someone approach, they glanced up with surprise but lowered their heads again.
How fake! Mei Kai Ye thought to herself. These were not ordinary woodcutters.
Mei Kai Ye casually walked around, noting a slight collapse at the cliff’s edge. She suddenly turned to the woodcutters and asked, “Do you two come here every day?”
“Yes, miss,” said Woodcutter A.
“Just to earn a living,” said Woodcutter B.
It didn’t look right at all! There was no scenery here. “Ah…” Mei Kai Ye sighed, deep in thought.
“Miss, do you have some troubles?” asked Woodcutter A.
“I’ll be honest with you, my… my husband disappeared here,” Mei Kai Ye said, sobbing, “It’s been over eight days. Since you two come here daily, I was wondering…
“
“Speaking of which, not long ago at the cliff—” Woodcutter A began.
But he was immediately interrupted by Woodcutter B, “Never seen anything.”
Denying so quickly? Something’s wrong with this cliff!
“I… no…” Mei Kai Ye wiped her tears and walked a few steps towards the cliff’s edge.
Plop…
A stone fell off the cliff.
Mei Kai Ye showed no sense of danger, standing sorrowfully at the cliff’s edge, just one small step away from falling into the abyss.
“Miss, be careful!” Woodcutter A quickly stood up, wanting to pull Mei Kai Ye back.
Mei Kai Ye was somewhat surprised. This Woodcutter A… was kind.
