Water Reflects Peach Blossoms

Gong Yunzheng followed the children who passed her one by one and walked out in step with their steps.

In a trance, she saw her younger self, step by step walking out of the shackles of hatred.

The mountains outside were cold and dark. Standing on the icy square made of black stone bricks, Gong Yunzheng looked up at the setting sun in the sky. The sun, which was about to set, dyed the clouds in the sky a blood-red, stretching across the entire horizon. Even the black mountain tops were dyed red, as if heralding the end of Wufeng.

Gong Yunzheng looked and looked until her eyes became sore and she realized that she had been killing Wufeng for a whole day and night.

The messy sound of horse hooves came from far away.

She looked in the direction of the sound and saw her brother pulling the reins anxiously, dismounting and running towards her.

Gong Yunzheng, who had originally felt relieved, suddenly felt a surge of bitterness in his heart.

Gong Ziyu also wanted to step forward, but Gong Shangjiao raised his hand to stop him.

Gong Shangjiao looked at the brother and sister in front of him, and said as if he knew what would happen next: "Leave them alone for a while."

Xue Chongzi looked at the barefoot and dirty children, feeling indescribably shocked. "Is this... Wufeng's method of training assassins?"

Gong Ziyu clenched his fists: "What a beast!"

"Sister! Are you hurt? You are covered in blood..." Gong Yuanzheng looked at his sister in panic, raised his hand to touch her, but was afraid that he would accidentally touch the wound under the bloody clothes that he could not notice.

Gong Yunzheng looked at his brother running towards him with a gentle smile on his face: "Yuanzheng, look, I avenged my parents, my brother Shangjiao's parents, my brother, and the ancestors of the palace..."

Before she could finish her words, Gong Yuanzheng grabbed her hand and took her pulse. When he found that her pulse was normal, he panicked.

"Sister! What's the price?" He asked with red eyes: "What's the price?!"

He has been taking care of his sister's body. He knows his sister's body very well. It is impossible for her to be a martial artist and have such deep internal strength.

He must have used some method he didn't know about! He must have paid a price!

Gong Yunzheng was stunned for a moment, then she held his hand in hers, saying gently, "I'm really happy that Yuanzheng found me."

Gong Yuanzheng suddenly realized something. He looked up at the Saker Falcon circling in the sky and murmured, "Is it leading the way for us, also my sister's plan?"

"If you want revenge, sister, I will practice hard, practice like crazy! When I reach adulthood, I will go out and kill as many Wufeng as I can! Why is sister..."

"Too slow," Gong Yunzheng interrupted Gong Yuanzheng, looking at his tearful face, and said, "I can't wait that long."

"I can't bear to see my brother put himself in danger just for revenge."

Gong Yunzheng's grip on Gong Yuanzheng's hand suddenly tightened. Facing the young man's surprised gaze, she smiled and said, "Fortunately, everything is over now. Wufeng has been destroyed, and our great revenge has been achieved. From now on, as long as you can live a safe and sound life, I will die with peace of mind."

"Sister, what nonsense are you talking about! I won't let you die!" Gong Yunzheng was about to go back with his sister. "Let's go home. Master Yue and the others are one step behind us in order to get Yun Chonglian out. We will definitely meet them on the way back. Then sister will..."

"It's useless." Gong Yunzheng stood still.

Gong Yuanzheng found that he couldn't pull her away, and wanted to beg her for help, but he found that the tendons on his wrist had been gripped by blood-stained fingertips.

He felt that the endless internal force was flowing along his tendons and veins, and finally gathered in his dantian. Gong Yuanzheng wanted to pull back his hand with bloodshot eyes, but his hand seemed to be nailed to Gong Yunzheng's hand. He could not pull it away, could not leave, and could only be forced to accept it.

Unable to break free, he struggled with all his might!

"Sister, please let me go! I don't want it! I don't want it... I just want you to live! I just want you to live... I can't live without you..."

"My parents are gone, and now my sister doesn't want me anymore? Please stop... I beg you... Don't go on!"

Gong Ziyu looked at this scene in shock: "Sister Ayun, what is this..."

Gong Shangjiao closed his eyes reluctantly: "She is passing her inner strength to Yuanzheng."

Xue Chongzi jumped on his horse and said, "If the internal energy transmission ends, Yun Zheng's life will be extinguished quickly. I will go back to meet Master Yue and bring them here quickly!"

Hearing this, Gong Ziyu also wanted to get on the horse: "I'll go with you!"

Gong Shangjiao stopped him and said in a deep voice, "Xue Chongzi can go and meet Master Yue. We need guards here. You stay with me."

After the transmission of internal energy was completed, Gong Yunzheng withdrew his hand and fell to the ground under Gong Yuanzheng's blurred vision filled with tears.

"Sister!" Gong Yuanzheng caught the body that had fallen to the ground. He hugged his sister and burst into tears: "Don't leave me! I really can't lose my sister again!"

"Me too..." She swallowed the words that showed she was reluctant to leave her brother. Gong Yunzheng didn't want to add any more psychological burden to her brother, so she slowly raised her head and looked at Gong Shangjiao and Gong Ziyu who had walked to their side and squatted down.

Their faces were filled with sorrow.

Gong Yunzheng slowed down his body, which was almost at the end, and said to Gong Shangjiao in a willful tone, "Brother Shangjiao, please let me be willful one last time."

Gong Shangjiao held back the tears in his eyes, and his voice was rarely choked with tenderness: "Didn't sister Yunzheng say that? Sister Yunzheng knows me as well as I know sister Yunzheng."

Disciples of the palace should put the palace first in their lives and put the interests of the palace first in everything they do.

If Gong Yunzheng's internal strength was really to be passed on, it should have been passed on to Gong Shangjiao, who was often away from home dealing with various sects, but she passed it on to her younger brother who never had to leave the palace.

Hence this conversation.

Gong Yunzheng smiled, she stopped talking, and looked up at the sky with the last of her strength.

The Saker Falcon circling in the air cried out and landed on the ground.

As soon as it landed, it lost its balance and fell to the ground. Gong Ziyu quickly held it in her arms, tucked it into her thick clothes, and assured Gong Yunzheng with a choked voice: "Don't worry, Sister Yun, we will take good care of it from now on."

Gong Yunzheng nodded with relief, a tear sliding down the corner of his eye.

I really want to go back to the palace...

I really want to see the sky over the palace gate again, smell the medicinal fragrance of the Zheng Palace, I really want her to spend her last moments at the palace gate, to die there...

Xue Chongzi said that she always felt that life in the back mountain had been the same for decades, and it was extremely boring and tedious. However, she felt that if she could really live in the palace gate in such peace, a lifetime would not be too long.

But she knew she couldn't go back.

I won’t say more…

She didn't want her brothers to be haunted by her final regret for the rest of their lives, nor did she want Yuanzheng to live in pain every day.

Gong Yunzheng's pale lips opened slightly, and she almost whispered about her parents.

It seems that in this way, the soul can quickly float back to the palace gate and return to his parents after death.

She wanted to live a boring life in the palace gate for the rest of her life, and even after her death she wanted to guard the palace gate, guard the Zheng Palace, and take care of her younger brother beside her parents.

In a trance, she heard the suppressed crying surrounding her.

Tears dripped down my face.

Then he seemed to hear the sound of horse hooves in the distance, and Xue Zhongzi's loud shout: "Izumo Zhonglian! Quickly pick up Izumo Zhonglian!"
