" Sect Master Tang, I have some matters to attend to in Heaven Dou City tomorrow. If you have anything you wish to say to Qinghe, I can convey it to you," Ning Fengzhi said first.
"Please convey to Emperor Qinghe that our Clear Sky Sect is willing to form an alliance with the Heaven Dou Empire to jointly resist the power of the Spirit Hall."
Tang Xiao's words echoed in the hall, and everyone held their breath, awaiting Ning Fengzhi's reply. Ning Fengzhi's eyes narrowed slightly, a hint of surprise flashing in them, but it quickly turned into delight. He smiled slightly and said, " Sect Master Tang, this matter is of great importance. I need to discuss it with His Majesty the Emperor of the Heaven Dou Empire before I can reply." Tang Xiao nodded slightly, "Of course, I await your news."
Ning Fengzhi farewell to Tang Xiao and hurriedly left the Clear Sky Sect. This time, he did not bring any guards and rode alone. The Clear Sky Sect's willingness to form an alliance with the Heaven Dou Empire was indeed news that Clear Sky Sect and the Heaven Dou Empire wanted to hear.
But this decision would inevitably provoke a strong backlash from the Spirit Hall. He took a deep breath, a resolute glint in his eyes. He wanted to let the Spirit Hall know that the alliance with the Heaven Dou Empire and the Clear Sky Sect was not something that could be easily broken.
He left his horse at a post station Heaven Dou City and walked alone to a cemetery.
As night fell, Ning Fengzhi stood at the edge of the cemetery, gazing at the scene before him. It was a vast cemetery, silent and solemn. In the night, the distant Heaven Dou City was brightly lit, forming a stark contrast with this cemetery.
Snowflakes were fluttering in the sky, like spirits of heaven and earth, dancing lightly. This cemetery seemed to be their most suitable stage, silent and solemn. Ning Fengzhi stood there quietly, looking at the scene before him, his heart filled with turmoil.
He slowly walked to an unmarked tombstone, sat down beside it, closed his eyes, and seemed to hear the sleeping souls whispering to him, their voices filled with joy and sorrow, happiness and grief. He took a deep breath, suppressing the whispers that disturbed his mind, and sat quietly.
Ning Fengzhi's heart was like a lake surface tossed with a boulder, rippling with waves. Before the nameless tombstone, he whispered to the sleeping souls, pouring out his confusion and worries. The snow fell heavier and heavier, as if the sky were pouring out its lament, sprinkling upon him and his heart.
"Soon, soon, Rong'er, it won't be long before I can come and be with you."
"Back then, the sect abandoned you; now, I'm abandoning the sect for you. I hope you won't blame me; I'm just a selfish person."
And so, until the morning of the next day, Ning Fengzhi took a deep look at the tombstone before leaving and heading towards the Heaven Dou Empire.
Papal Palace, after resolving Tang San's matter, Jun Yi returned. Early this morning, Bibi Dong woke Jun Yi up.
" Jun Yi, come with me somewhere." Bibi Dong was dressed in all black today, looking very formal.
"Where are we going? Should we call Sister Yanyan and Zhu Zhuqing along?"
Bibi Dong rolled her eyes at Jun Yi and said, "Forget it. You keep them both so exhausted every day that they can't move. It's finally dawn, you should let them rest."
As she spoke, Bibi Dong took out a set of black clothes and handed them to Jun Yi.
"Put it on and come with me."
Jun Yi was somewhat puzzled, but he didn't sense any malice from Bibi Dong, so he put on the black clothes. The clothes fit him well, but they looked somewhat like mourning clothes.
" Sister Dong'er, where are you taking me?" Jun Yi asked.
" Heaven Dou Cemetery. Today is the tenth day of the twelfth lunar month, the anniversary of Rong'er's death."
Jun Yi nodded silently after hearing this. He looked at Bibi Dong's downcast expression, gently stroked her head, and then took her hand. Following Bibi Dong, they Luffy and arrived at the cemetery Heaven Dou City. What came into view was a huge cemetery, with the four characters " Heaven Dou Cemetery " written on the plaque at the entrance.
Jun Yi had been here several times before, always accompanying Ning Rongrong to pay respects to her mother. It was a very quiet place, with snow still falling from the sky, the white snow making the place even more solemn. Only occasionally would the wind rustle through the treetops, breaking the tranquility.
Jun Yi followed Bibi Dong into the cemetery and stopped in front of an unmarked tombstone.
" Rong'er, I've brought my beloved to see you."
Bibi Dong stopped in front of the grave, slowly closing her eyes, seemingly gathering her emotions. Jun Yi stood beside her, quietly watching her, not disturbing her silence. After a while, Bibi Dong began to speak, " Younger Sister Rong'er, it's me, Bibi Dong. I've come to see you. Look, I brought you your favorite lilies and your favorite pastries."
As she spoke, Bibi Dong took out a bouquet of pure white lilies from her bosom and gently placed it in front of the grave. She lowered her head and gently stroked the tombstone, as if she were stroking her own sister.
Jun Yi stood to the side, watching Bibi Dong's retreating figure, a sense of sorrow welling up inside him. He reached out and gently embraced Bibi Dong's waist, wanting to offer her some warmth and support. Bibi Dong leaned against Jun Yi's chest, sobbing softly.
Jun Yi stroked Bibi Dong's hair and said softly, " Sister Dong'er, don't be too sad. Younger Sister Rong'er in heaven would also want to see you happy now." Bibi Dong nodded, wiped away her tears, and said again, " Younger Sister Rong'er, look, I brought you my beloved. He loves me very much, and I love him very much too. We will always be together and always be happy."
Jun Yi looked at Bibi Dong, feeling a touch of emotion. He reached out and gently put his arm around Bibi Dong shoulder, wanting to offer her some comfort and support. Just then, a gust of wind blew by, lifting Jun Yi's black clothes. Jun Yi instinctively pulled Bibi Dong into his embrace.
At this moment, Bibi Dong was no longer the majestic and Haki female Pope was above all others, but a weak woman who needed comfort. Jun Yi hugged Bibi Dong tightly, his heartbeat echoing in the silent cemetery, as if giving Bibi Dong the most sincere comfort.
His gaze was tender as he looked at Bibi Dong, his heart filled with love and tenderness for this woman. The two embraced quietly in front of the grave, as if time had stood still, with only the two of them and this silent cemetery.
After a while, Bibi Dong gradually calmed down. She raised her head, looked at Jun Yi, and said softly, " Jun Yi, thank you."
Jun Yi smiled slightly, gently stroking Bibi Dong's cheek, and said tenderly, " Sister Dong'er, don't say thank you. I will always be by your side. Sister Dong'er, should I take action to avenge Sister Rong'er?"
"No, that's too easy on them. I want these people to suffer terribly and die in agony and resentment."
