Chapter 324: Ruyi's Secret

The end of a story heralds the beginning of a new story, and the cycle repeats, although the plot of the story may have changed, but the protagonist is still the protagonist, still actively or passively experiencing everything that cannot be escaped. A new life, a new beginning, but there will still be new things worth cherishing and protecting, and there will also be new favors and hatreds. Human life is itself a kind of struggle that is incompatible with fire and water.

Crescent Island is very large, and it is full of deep mountains and dense forests, and it is not possible to find it if you run into a person casually, let alone someone who deliberately wants to hide, it is even more difficult to find a needle in a haystack. There are many people who are puzzled and don't understand why such a dense forest grows on Crescent Island, which is not sunny all year round, but they don't seem to have found the answer, maybe this is also one of the magic of Crescent Island.

In the northernmost part of Crescent Island, on a cliff far from the settlement, there is a cave located halfway up the cliff, and a faint stream of heat slowly drifts out of the cave, and you can vaguely hear human voices coming from the depths of the cave, but intermittently.

In the cave, there were three people, two men and one woman, none other than Long Xinyue, Nangong Chu and Ruyi, who had just escaped from the enemy's encirclement not long ago. There was a fire on the side, and although the flames were small, they were enough to make the dark, damp cave look much warmer.

I saw Ruyi sitting on a stone in a daze, silent, just crying vigorously, as if he had lost his soul. Long Xinyue and Nangong Chu thought that Ruyi had been frightened just now, and they had been detained by the people of Xinyue Island for the past few days, so their emotions had not eased up, so they had been standing by Ruyi's side without a word of comfort.

But how do they know that what really makes Ruyi difficult to control is not because of the chaos just now, let alone because she was imprisoned by the people of Crescent Island before, but because she witnessed her father die in front of her, although she has never admitted that it is his father, but the truth cannot be changed, it is not that she says no and becomes no, and the reason why she struggles even more is that the person who killed her father is the person she cares about the most in this life and cannot lose the most.

It's a natural cave, Long Crescent Moon has only been here a few times when he sneaked out to play when he was very young, and he hasn't been here for a long time, he doesn't know if the other people on the island know about this place, and he doesn't know if it's really safe, but it's the safest place he can find at the moment, at least for now.

At this moment, a slight sound came from the entrance of the cave and reached the ears of Long Xinyue and Nangong Chu, the two glanced at each other, Nangong Chu immediately rushed to Ruyi's side and pulled Ruyi behind him, hiding behind a protruding boulder. And Long Xinyue hid in the groove of the nearest mountain wall, his eyes were firmly fixed on the forehead direction of the cave entrance, and he was ready to move at any time.

The footsteps were soft, but fast, and as the sound got closer and closer, a figure appeared in the light of the fire, the familiar black cloak, the familiar knife behind the back, and the familiar face as pale as snow, but at this time this face saw more loss and sadness, and it looked even paler.

This person was none other than Wuxin, who arrived later. And there was a figure not far behind him, it was Leng who was always observing the direction of the cave entrance, as if he was worried about something, and his brows were slightly furrowed.

Seeing the sudden appearance of Wuxin, Long Xinyue finally breathed a sigh of relief, and couldn't help but show a smile, he knew that Wuxin would definitely be fine, there was no special reason, just blindly believed.

Seeing Wuxin walk in, Long Xinyue slowly asked, "How is it? They didn't catch up, did they?" In order to find them, the Dragon Emperor would even go so far as to burn the entire mountain forest.

Wuxin didn't answer, just shook his head slightly, and then walked to the fire and sat on the seat where Ruyi was sitting just now, his face was solemn, and he looked depressed. There was no joy after being reborn, and there was no greeting to the three Long Crescent Moon who had arrived here one step earlier, and even Ruyi seemed to have forgotten.

Seeing Wuxin's abnormal appearance, Long Xinyue frowned, not knowing why, so she turned her head to look at Leng who was standing on the side and was also dignified, and pointed at Wuxin, meaning to ask Leng Zhi if he knew what was wrong with Wuxin and what happened.

Leng glanced at Wuxin, then lowered his voice and said softly: "The people we left outside the Dragon Tomb are all dead and beheaded by the Dragon Emperor's order. His voice trembled as he said this, for he should have been the most unbearable except for his unintentionality, though he had pretended to ignore it enough.

Hearing the cold words, everyone present grew their mouths in surprise and couldn't believe their ears. It's not that they didn't believe what Leng said, but they didn't expect the Dragon Emperor to behead the shadow in front of Wuxin, which was too big a blow to Wuxin, and it was already a miracle to be able to come back quietly.

"Are you okay, aren't you hurt?" Ruyi suddenly rushed to Wuxin's side, squatted down, and kept checking Wuxin's body to see if Wuxin was in trouble, as if he had forgotten the sadness in his heart just now. Maybe in her heart, Wuxin's safety is what she cares about the most, just as Wuxin cares about her so much.

Wuxin shook his head gently, his expression finally relaxed, and he looked at Ruyi and said slowly, "I'm fine." Then he saw the tears on Ruyi's face that had not been wiped dry, and couldn't help frowning, and asked softly, "What's wrong with you?

Taken aback by Wuxin's sudden intimate move, Ruyi shrunk his neck slightly, stood up, shook his head and said, "I'm fine." As he spoke, he turned and walked to the side, as if to escape something, his eyes were moist again, and he was about to shed tears again.

"No, what happened?" Wuxin frowned, glanced at Long Xinyue and Nangong Chu, and found that the two of them were also at a loss, and then continued to look at Ruyi, who was facing away from him, and asked lightly: "What's wrong?" It's normal for a woman to cry, and it's not the first time Ruyi has cried in front of her, but he can feel it, this time it's different, because those tears are not reserved for anyone present, but someone else, he can really feel it.

"Don't ask again, I'm really fine...... Ruyi said with his back on his back, and he didn't dare to look back, the tears couldn't be held back anymore, and he couldn't control it at all.

"What the hell is going on!" Wuxin seemed to be a little anxious, stood up directly, raised his voice and asked again, he knew that Ruyi had something to hide from him, but he couldn't guess what it was, he just didn't want Ruyi to be hurt in any way he didn't know.

With his back to Wuxin's Ruyi twitching, his body began to tremble constantly, almost curled up together, and he was silent for a long time, and finally slowly spoke: "The Seven Sages King...... It's my father......"

Hearing Ruyi's words, everyone present was stunned by their eyes, couldn't believe their ears, and all stood on the spot.

And after Wuxin heard Ruyi's words, like a thunderbolt from the sky, he sat down directly on the stone, his eyes were dull, and he looked at Ruyi with his back to him in disbelief, and his heart almost stagnated......
