Chapter 947 How could she be so selfish?

Chapter 947 How could she be so selfish?

As he thought about it, Ximen Lie began to re-examine the whole incident.

He recalled his previous suspicions about the Tianyan Sect. Could it be that he had really wronged them?

The thought swirled in his mind, making him feel a little uneasy.

After thinking for a moment, Ximen Lie decided not to hesitate any longer and to go and find out for himself.

He stood up and walked out of the room, at the same time instructing several elders around him to follow him to the dark room.

The dark room is located in the Ximen family's forbidden area. It is a cold and damp place with no sunlight all year round.

When Simon Lie and the elders walked into the dark room, a foul smell hit their noses, making them feel sick.

There was a faint light flickering on the wall, and that light seemed like a ghost fire burning quietly, adding a bit of eerie atmosphere to the entire dark room.

Ximen Lie's brows were furrowed, and his eyes revealed a hint of vigilance and anxiety.

He walked forward cautiously, taking every step with extreme caution.

He carefully checked every corner of the dark room, not missing any possible clues.

However, after a careful search, Ximen Lie still found nothing.

Nothing unusual was found in the dark room, no signs of a struggle, and no signs of her escaping.

This made Ximen Lie feel even more depressed and his brows furrowed even deeper.

He began to doubt whether his judgment was really wrong.

Is it true that Ximen Li is not here?

Where did she go?

Ximen Lie's heart was filled with doubts and confusion.

He paced back and forth anxiously in the dark room, his steps quick and flustered, like an ant on a hot pan.

Suddenly, his eyes were drawn to a corner of the dark room.

There seemed to be some strange traces there, which seemed out of place with the surrounding environment.

Ximen Lie's heartbeat suddenly quickened and his eyes suddenly became stern.

He walked quickly forward, squatted down, and examined it carefully.

I saw that the traces looked like those left by someone who left in a hurry. There were some messy footprints on the ground, with varying depths and directions.

Moreover, there were some broken silk threads next to the footprints, which looked like they had been pulled hard by someone.

"Could it be that Ximen Li really ran away on her own?" A glimmer of hope flashed through Ximen Lie's heart.

He followed the traces all the way, hoping to find where his daughter had gone.

However, when he chased to the edge of a family wall, the traces suddenly disappeared, as if blocked by an invisible wall.

Ximen Lie suddenly stopped and stood by the wall, frowning, his doubts growing even more intense.

He stared at the wall, wondering where Ximen Li might have gone.

This wall should not be a problem for ordinary people with some cultivation skills.

But for Ximen Li, who had lost his spiritual power and cultivation, that was an insurmountable obstacle.

If Ximen Li really escaped from here, where would she go?

Various possibilities kept flashing through Ximen Lie's mind.

He began to search carefully around the wall, hoping to find some other clues.

However, no matter how hard he tried, he found nothing of value.

In fact, this footprint was not left by Ximen Li, but was left intentionally by Heishi under the order of Su Chenyin.

Even if Ximen Lie turned the Ximen family upside down, he would never be able to find the whereabouts of Ximen Li.

Because at this moment, Ximen Li was staying safely in Su Chenyin's space storage talisman.

Ximen Lie searched by the wall for a long time but still had no clue, and his mood became increasingly heavy.

The flame of hope that had originally been ignited gradually died out with the passage of time.

"Is it really impossible to find it?" he thought to himself, a feeling of powerlessness surged in his heart.

At the same time, in Ximen Yinshuang's boudoir.

The flickering candlelight illuminated Ximen Yinshuang's face, which was as pale as paper.

Tears fell like pearls from a broken string, one by one onto the brocade quilt embroidered with gold phoenix patterns.

Sima Lan stood aside, watching his daughter so sad, his heart filled with helplessness and heartache.

"Shuang'er, don't cry." Sima Lan sat beside the bed and comforted her.

"Your father will definitely find Ximen Li." Her voice was gentle, but there was an unremovable gloom in her eyes.

She stroked Ximen Yinshuang's hair gently, as if this could ease her daughter's pain.

Ximen Yinshuang sobbed and her body trembled slightly.

She cried, "Mom, what should I do if I can't find her?"

"This Ximen Li was born to prolong my life. Why would she want to run away?" She raised her head suddenly, her almond-shaped eyes were red and swollen like peaches.

"How could she be so selfish? How could she be so cruel to watch me die? I am her sister. She contributed her heart and pure Yang body to me. Isn't this what she should do as a sister?"

Ximen Yinshuang gritted her teeth and clenched the corner of the quilt with her slender fingers, her knuckles turning white.

She cursed in her heart: "Ximen Li, you bitch, you dare to run away, you are dead!"

When Sima Lan heard his daughter's words, the anger in his heart was ignited.

This Ximen Li was allowed to live until now just to extend Ximen Yinshuang's life.

Back then, if it weren't for the fact that she could save his daughter's life, Sima Lan would have killed her long ago.

But now, at the critical moment when her daughter's life was about to be saved, she actually ran away.

How could Sima Lan not be angry?

She was furious. How dare Ximen Li be so bold?

She, Sima Lan's daughter, must not die like this. A cold light flashed in her eyes.

If she had not been soft-hearted and did not poison that bastard to death directly, how could such a disaster have happened now?

She suppressed her anger and hugged her daughter in her arms.

"Don't worry, Shuang'er," Sima Lan's voice was as soft as a feather, but it was chilling, "Your father has already sent out a group of 'An Lie' warriors. Even if they have to dig deep into the ground, they will bring that bitch back."

"Shuang'er, don't be afraid. Your father will definitely find her and will never let anything happen to you." Sima Lan hugged Ximen Li and comforted her.

Ximen Yinshuang trembled and sobbed in her mother's arms, her face as pale as paper.

Outside the window, a dark shadow passed by silently.

Bai Luoying leaned against the wall and listened to every word of the conversation between the mother and daughter.

The corners of her lips curled up in a sarcastic arc, and her eyes flashed with viciousness.

"Extend your life?" Bai Luoying sneered silently, "Ximen Yinshuang, I'm afraid you won't be able to wait until that day."

Ji Lier’s disappearance means that Ximen Yinshuang’s illness cannot be cured, and Ximen Yinshuang will definitely die.

She turned lightly, and the hem of her skirt drew a graceful arc in the night like a butterfly's wings.

Passing through the winding corridor, Bai Luoying came to a remote courtyard.

This was the residence that Chang Sun Ling had specially arranged for her. Although it was not luxurious, it was quiet.

"Miss, you're back." Qingliu, the personal maid, came forward and handed her a cup of warm spiritual tea.

Bai Luoying took the teacup and asked nonchalantly, "Is there anything new in the mansion? Why is there such a big event?"

Qingliu lowered his voice and said, "My lady, the clan leader was very angry and smashed the study room. I heard it was because the eldest daughter Ximen Li ran away."
