C270 Carry out Cremation
At the southernmost end of Southern Profound Domain, at the end of a large canyon, there was a piece of flat land. On top of the flat land, there was a pile of dried wood.
Her face was serene, as if she was asleep. In fact, she was actually Shangguan Bingqing. She had already stopped breathing for three days and all signs of life had completely disappeared. To put it bluntly, she was already dead.
There were a lot of people around. They were Gao Xiaotian, Shangguan Tianming, Shangguan Yujie and the rest who escaped from Xiaoxiang Palace. There were about a hundred of them.
The others looked serious, except for Shangguan Yujie. Her eyes were red and swollen, and her face was haggard, as if she was in tears.
Lan Fei tugged at Shangguan Yujie and advised, "Little Commandery Princess, don't cry anymore. Accept the reality. Elder Commandery Princess has already been dead for three days."
"No, I don't believe that my sister is dead." Shangguan Yujie wiped the tears from her eyes and looked at Shangguan Bingqing, who was surrounded by fresh flowers, and said in a hoarse voice, "Look, my sister's face is serene and she hasn't changed at all. She's clearly asleep.
Everyone looked at each other in dismay as they were unreasonably scolded by Shangguan Yujie.
For the past three days, Shangguan Yujie had been unable to accept the fact that Shangguan Bingqing was dead, but she had to accept it even if she didn't want to.
Shangguan Tianming said solemnly: "Yujie, I know you and older sister have a good relationship since childhood, but …" Sigh, stop causing trouble … "
"How am I making trouble for no reason? It's clear that you are making trouble for no reason and want to cremate my sister. My sister isn't dead and she's just asleep. What are you burying?" Shangguan Yujie stubbornly retorted, "It's such a hot day. If my sister had died three days ago, her body would have reeked of something. Why is she not reeking at all?"
This was indeed a little strange. If a living person did not take a bath for three days, his body would always smell strange, let alone a dead person. Everyone looked at Shangguan Bingqing, who was surrounded by flowers.
"Also, if a person dies, his body will have corpse spots. Why hasn't my sister's body changed at all? Her skin is like snow without any blemishes." Shangguan Yujie asked harshly.
The situation was exactly as Shangguan Yujie said. Shangguan Bingqing hadn't changed at all, but that didn't mean she hadn't died.
In Xuanwu Continent, one can determine whether a person is alive or dead based on whether the person is breathing. If the person is not breathing, then that means that the person is already dead.
Shangguan Tianming looked up at the sunlight and said, "Yujie, it's almost time. Say your goodbyes to your sister. It will be bad after the hour, and it will bring bad luck to the Shangguan Family."
"What does the Shangguan Family have to do with me? I only want my sister to be fine." Shangguan Yujie said angrily.
"You …" Shangguan Tianming pointed at Shangguan Yujie, trembling with anger. As a member of the Shangguan family, Shangguan Tianming really wanted to give her a slap on the face for saying such outrageous words.
However, considering Shangguan Yujie's current mood, Shangguan Tianming suppressed his anger and said to the girls beside him, "You guys go pull Yujie away."
"No." When Shangguan Yujie saw Lan Fei and the rest walking towards her, she summoned a Immortal Weapon and pointed it at them. "I want to see which one of you dares to come over."
Seeing the Immortal Weapon in Shangguan Yujie's hands, Lan Fei and the rest stopped in their tracks in fear and looked at Shangguan Tianming at the same time.
Shangguan Tianming snapped, "Yujie, stop messing around, okay?"
"It was clearly you guys who were messing around. My sister just fell asleep and didn't die. Why did you burn her?"
Shangguan Yujie was going to make a ruckus. Besides, she didn't accept the fact that Shangguan Bingqing was dead.
From Shangguan Tianming's point of view, Shangguan Yujie was making a ruckus without any reason. A person stops breathing and his pulse stops beating. If he isn't dead, then what is he?
Seeing that the best time to burn was about to arrive, Shangguan Tianming released the pressure of his peak Martial King Stage, causing Shangguan Yujie's arm to go numb. Dingdang, the sword in her hand fell.
Shangguan Yujie's heart was filled with unwillingness. She wanted to pick it up, but she saw that the Immortal Weapon was already flying towards Shangguan Tianming. Thinking that she couldn't beat Shangguan Tianming, she decided to ignore the Immortal Weapon and jumped onto Shangguan Bingqing.
The moment she pounced on Shangguan Bingqing, Shangguan Yujie's thigh was punctured by the wood. She felt a little pain and frowned subconsciously.
However, out of the corner of his eyes, he saw Lan Fei and the others walking over. Without caring about the pain from her wounds, he shook Shangguan Bingqing and said, "Sister, can you open your eyes and tell them that you're not dead. You're just asleep."
Lan Fei walked over and looked at Shangguan Bingqing. Her eyes reddened as she advised, "Little Commandery Princess, we don't believe that Elder Commandery Princess has already left, but …" Sigh, death cannot bring one back from the dead, so you should accept this reality. "
"My sister isn't dead yet. Why should I accept reality?" Shangguan Yujie simply lay on top of Shangguan Bingqing and said, "Anyway, I want to be with my sister. Why don't you burn me and my sister down as well?"
Lan Fei and the rest looked helplessly at Shangguan Tianming when they saw how stubborn Shangguan Yujie was. Seeing Shangguan Yujie's actions, Shangguan Tianming was so angry that his lungs were about to burst.1
Gao Xiaotian was moved by Shangguan Yujie's actions, he could not help but sigh and say: "I originally thought that this master and disciple pair were rivals, with a light debt and no longer true feelings, but little girl Shangguan's actions taught me a very vivid lesson."
These days, Gao Xiaotian's body was recovering slowly under the careful care of everyone. As for his cultivation, it would take a long time.
Shangguan Yujie's eyes lit up when she heard Gao Xiaotian's voice. She stood up and looked back at Gao Xiaotian, "Grandpa Gao, didn't you say that nothing would happen to my sister? He even told my brother-in-law to look for the materials to refine the Pill, why would something happen to my Big Sis? "
"Little girl, I am not an immortal, how can I be counted? If you have to blame something, you can only blame that unreliable brother-in-law of yours who hasn't returned in more than twenty days. " Gao Xiaotian was unconvinced.
"He's your disciple, you adopted him, and I learned all his words and deeds from you. If you have to blame something, you can only blame yourself." Shangguan Yujie retorted.
"Alright, alright, alright. Blame me for blaming me!" Gao Xiaotian could only accompany him in tears.
Gao Xiaotian was Shangguan Tianming's master after all, and Shangguan Yujie was Shangguan Tianming's niece. Shangguan Tianming could not stand it any longer and snapped, "Yujie, why do you have such an attitude toward your elders?"
"He lied to me first, so what if I said a few words?" Shangguan Yujie said, unconvinced.
"You …" Shangguan Tianming was about to reprimand Shangguan Yujie for her wrongness, but Gao Xiaotian stopped him. "Tianming, the little girl is still angry, so you should say less!"
Shangguan Tianming looked at the sun above and locked onto Shangguan Yujie with his coercion. He ordered Wu Tie, who was holding a torch, "Light the torch!"
