Mrs. Du was in a dilemma. She could only save one person, so she extended her hand to Du Huaiming. Du Huaiming was the only child of the Du family. How could she face the Du family if something happened to him?

"Mom, you want to save him? Why? He was the one who pulled me down. He is the damned one. Why should I save him?" Du Fangyao was close to collapse. There was a thousand-foot cliff and turbulent water below. If she fell down, she would surely die.

"Yaoyao, I'm sorry, your elder brother is the only male in the Du family and I can't let anything happen to him." Mrs. Du burst into tears. She also loved Du Fangyao but she was nothing in front of Du Huaiming.

Du Fangyao laughed at himself. As expected, he was so insignificant compared to Du Huaiming. Ruan Yunsheng looked at Du Fangyao coldly. She had a way to save Du Fangyao, but she was not a saint. Why should she risk her life to save someone who was trying to murder her?

Mrs. Du and Du's father tried to pull Du Huaiming up, but there was no place on the cliff for Du Huaiming to step on. "Step on her." Du's father's words shattered Du Fangyao's last hope. She didn't expect her father to say such a thing. Letting Du Huaiming step on her body was equivalent to pushing her off the cliff with his own hands.

Du Fangyao sneered, "You are dreaming if you want to step on my body to save Du Huaiming. I will never let you fulfill your wish even if I die. I won't be alone on the road to the underworld with my brother accompanying me. I hate you. Du Huaiming, I will wait for you down there, hahahaha..."

After saying that, Du Fangyao let go of her hands that were holding onto the edge of the cliff. Didn't they want Du Huaiming to be alive? She would not let them have their wish.

"No." Mrs. Du and Du's father shouted. They did not do so because they were reluctant to let Du Fangyao go but because it would be very difficult for Du Huaiming to come up again after Du Fangyao did this.

Du Huaiming was big and fat, and the Du couple had not had much food for a long time and had limited strength. They were struggling to hold on. Du Fangyao fell down and they could only rely on themselves to pull Du Huaiming up if they wanted to save him.

"Save my son, please save my son, General Lu, General Lu, please save my son."

Mrs. Du cried out in despair, but no one moved. Yes, who would dare to save her on this steep cliff? She could only place her hope on Lu Zhizhou.

Lu Zhizhou's hand was held by Ruan Yunsheng, "What are you daydreaming about? This is a cliff. Do you want my husband to use his life to exchange for your son's life?"

Ruan Yunsheng was speechless about this family. Asking Lu Zhizhou to save Du Huaiming was equivalent to asking Lu Zhizhou to die. Did she really think that everyone in the Lu family was stupid?

"Huai Ming, Huai Ming."

"son······"

Finally, Du Huaiming couldn't hold on and fell down. Mrs. Du lay on the cliff crying, looking at Lu Zhizhou and Ruan Yunsheng with resentment. If they hadn't watched him die without saving him, Huaiming would definitely have survived.

Ruan Yunsheng found this man incomprehensible. He couldn't save his son but had to put the blame on others.

"Keep on going."

Pei Yan watched all this without saying anything. He couldn't help with this matter. It was common for people to die on the road to exile.

Fortunately, the road ahead was relatively smooth, and everyone successfully boarded the suspension bridge as if nothing had happened. Du was staring at Ruan Yunsheng from behind, and when no one was paying attention, she pushed Ruan Yunsheng hard.

"Go to hell. It's all your fault. You're the one who watched someone die without helping."

Ruan Yunsheng didn't expect someone to push him, and his body quickly fell to the side. Lu Zhizhou wanted to hold Ruan Yunsheng, but he only touched her fingertips, "Shengsheng..."

"Seventh sister-in-law..."

"Yun Sheng..."

The Lu family was shocked by this sudden change and watched Ruan Yunsheng fall down. Lu Zhizhou's eyes were bloodshot and there was murderous aura around him. In his ears was Du's extremely crazy laughter.

“Hahahaha, go to hell, go to hell. I told you not to save my son. You clearly could have saved him, so why didn’t you save him? You deserve to die. If you didn’t save my son, I would push Ruan Yunsheng down to be buried with my son and daughter. Hahahaha…”

"It was you who pushed Shengsheng down." The murderous aura on Lu Zhizhou shocked the people around him. Even Mrs. Du restrained the smile on her face and looked at Lu Zhizhou who was walking towards her with a look of horror.

Lu Zhizhou raised his foot and kicked her off the cliff. "You killed Shengsheng, you deserve to die. You can't even take care of your own wife, you also deserve to die." As he said that, Lu Zhizhou kicked Du's father down with him. "You killed Shengsheng, so you will be buried with Shengsheng."

At this moment, everyone remembered that Lu Zhizhou was the God of War. Lu Zhizhou's sickly appearance these days almost made them forget that he was the general of the Lu family who made the enemy tremble in fear. At this moment, the aura around Lu Zhizhou was that of a "keep away from strangers".

Even Madam Lu and everyone in the Lu family didn't dare to talk much to Lu Zhizhou at this time. Lu Zhizhou became very scary at this moment, and there was silence all around.

"Shengsheng is still alive, she just needs time to climb up. How about we wait for her here for a while?"

Lu Zhizhou turned his body half-way and his head slightly towards Pei Yan, as if waiting for Pei Yan's order and also as if asking Pei Yan to accept his order.

"It's a bit cold in mid-air, and my body can't handle it."

Pei Yan was in a dilemma. After all, Lu Zhizhou and Ruan Yunsheng had saved his life. However, the height of the hanging ladder in Wangchuan Valley was too high. The higher you go, the lower the temperature is. And between the two valleys, the valley wind would freeze people silly.

"There is a cave beyond this hanging ladder. Wait there."

Pei Yan followed Lu Zhizhou's gaze and saw that there was indeed a cave at the other end of the ladder. Pei Yan looked at Lu Zhizhou's determined expression, opened his mouth and then closed it slightly, waved to the people in front and behind, indicating that everyone should go to that cave.

"Half a day. If there is still no news in the afternoon, we must continue on our journey. It is too dangerous to spend the night in the middle of nowhere. I cannot joke with the lives of so many people."

Pei Yan restrained his usual casualness and spoke seriously. Lu Zhizhou stood on the ladder and did not answer Pei Yan's words. His eyes were just looking at the cliff below the ladder. Pei Yan shook his head. Although he did not want to admit it, he had to recognize the fact that Ruan Yunsheng was definitely going to die.

The Lu family couldn't help but worry when they saw Lu Zhizhou's appearance. The last time they saw him like this was when General Lu and several major generals were on the battlefield. He was also like this, standing in the mourning hall with a dull expression without saying a word. After that, he became taciturn and seldom communicated with others. He had no other desires in his heart but to kill the enemy.

After Lu Zhizhou woke up, his attitude towards Ruan Yunsheng was different from others, and he was willing to communicate with everyone. Old Madam Lu thought it would continue like this, but who knew that Ruan Yunsheng would have such a thing happen just when Lu Zhizhou's leg had just recovered.

"Mom, take care of yourself. Shengsheng will be afraid that I will go find her. Sisters-in-law, I'll leave Mom in your hands."
