The transmigrated wife is crazy and ruthless.

Chapter 129 Tao Ling'er's Last Will and Testament

After the three parties finished their actions, everyone gathered together and shared what they had learned.

Qi Yuxuan and Lu Yuanchangming from the first party said that although they had not found Qiu Ziyue, they had found two allies—Zhao Wanqing and Xiao Wan.

The three senior brothers from the second side, Chu Yuqiu and Yin Lihen, said that they heard a child say that he had seen Qiu Ziyue walk in the southeast direction, but when they went forward, they found themselves on a bottomless cliff.

A third party, Twilight City, said his marriage proposal failed.

When Qi Yuxuan and Lu Yuanchangming heard the little boy say that he had seen Qiu Ziyue fly away in the southeast direction, their hopes were rekindled.

They decided to head in that direction immediately, no matter how treacherous the journey.

"We must find her."

Qi Yuxuan said firmly, "If she really is there, we can't miss any clues."

Lu Yuanchangming nodded in agreement: "That's right, even if it's a nine-out-of-ten chance of death, we should still give it a try."

The group set off in a southeast direction.

Sunlight streamed onto the edge of the sheer cliff, where a group of people stood.

All that could be seen was a bottomless abyss, vast and boundless, its depths unfathomable, inspiring awe and fear.

The wind howled, making it almost impossible for people to stand.

The group decided to head to the bottom of the cliff regardless of the danger, and prepared ropes and equipment, carefully descending along the steep mountain path to the bottom.

Upon reaching the bottom of the cliff, the group dispersed and carefully searched every corner.

This desolate valley is filled with rocks and thorns, and every step is fraught with danger.

As the sun gradually sets in the west, the daytime light gradually dims.

Despite being exhausted, everyone still did not give up hope, continuing to call out Qiu Ziyue's name, hoping to hear her response.

As night fell, darkness enveloped the entire valley.

A cold night wind howled past, bringing a chill.

The group's strength gradually ran out, but they persisted in continuing their search.

Qi Yuxuan and Lu Yuanchangming exchanged a glance, their eyes revealing helplessness and disappointment.

"We've searched the whole place, but we still can't find her," Lu Yuanchangming said in a low voice.

"Perhaps we should expand the search area?"

Liu Xu suggested, but everyone understood that it was almost impossible.

The cliff is surrounded by steep mountains, making nighttime travel even more dangerous.

Ultimately, everyone had to face reality.

Yin Lihen sighed, "Let's call it a day for tonight. We'll think of something tomorrow."

The group silently packed up their gear and started walking back.

Along the way, no one spoke; only the heavy sound of footsteps echoed in the silent valley.

Everyone was filled with heavy hearts, their minds heavy with worry and reluctance to part with Qiu Ziyue.

By the time we reached the top of the cliff, it was already late at night.

The starlight was dim, as if it too was lamenting their defeat.

Qi Yuxuan gazed into the distance, silently praying, "Ziyue, you must be safe and sound."

Back at their lodgings, everyone sat together and comforted each other.

After everyone left, Lu Yuanchangming, Qi Yuxuan, and their three senior brothers sat together and silently drank their sorrows away.

"What a wasted trip today," Lu Yuan sighed, raising his glass and downing it in one gulp.

"Where did Ziyue go?" Qi Yuxuan frowned, his eyes filled with doubt.

“She did talk strangely sometimes before,” Lu Yuanchangming said.

“Yes,” a senior student chimed in. “She often mentions the word ‘21st century,’ saying it’s the country she comes from.”

Another senior student nodded: "I remember once she also mentioned something about 'cell phones' and 'the internet,' but we couldn't understand what she was talking about."

Lu Yuanchangming's eyes suddenly lit up, as if he remembered something: "That's right! I heard her say that they practice monogamy where she is, and that whirlwind marriages and divorces are terrible, and that she will go back sooner or later."

Qi Yuxuan nodded thoughtfully: "This is indeed very strange. Could it be... that she comes from another world?"

"The 21st century?" The three senior brothers looked at each other, their faces showing confusion.

What country is that?

"Perhaps she really has already gone back."

Lu Yuanchangming whispered to Qi Yuxuan, "Yuxuan, do you remember? During the Qin and Jian martial arts competition, a huge vortex appeared. Ziyue wanted to step into it, but she seemed to hesitate and didn't go in."

Qi Yuxuan thought for a moment and said, "Yes, that's true."

Qi Yuxuan was lost in his memories and said softly, "I remember when Tao Ling'er was little, she was terrified of caterpillars and would scream every time she saw one. But now, she seems completely unafraid of them, and even gently touches them. It is indeed a bit strange."

“Perhaps she is not Tao Ling’er,” a senior student suggested boldly. “Or perhaps she went through something that completely changed her.”

“Something’s not right.” Qi Yuxuan shook his head. “Her eyes still held that familiar gentleness and kindness.”

"But she is indeed somewhat different."

Everyone was silent for a while, each lost in their own thoughts.

"No matter what, we can't give up," Qi Yuxuan said firmly. "She won't go back, because she promised me she would."

Lu Yuanchangming nodded: "Yes, we must try our best to find her, because our lives are really boring without her. I even feel like I have no will to live."

As the chill of the night gradually crept in, everyone felt sorrow for the loss of Qiu Ziyue.

Look here!

Just as everyone was lost in thought, Liu Xu rushed over, clutching a sheet of music tightly in her hand.

Qi Yuxuan recognized it at a glance; it was the book he had given to Tao Ling'er when they were children.

"Liu Xu, is there any mystery in this musical score?" Qi Yuxuan asked, a sense of unease rising in his heart.

Liu Xu said breathlessly, "Look, I found this sheet music in Sister Ziyue's study. Look, there's a hole in the cover, and there's a letter inside the hole."

"Take it out and let me see," Lu Yuan urged. Qi Yuxuan took the sheet music, carefully pulled a letter out of the cover, and unfolded it to find it was a suicide note.

The handwriting on the letter was neat and beautiful, but between the lines it conveyed a deep sense of despair and reluctance:

Respectfully presented to all the masters and Young Master Qi Yuxuan:

Since my mother's passing, I have been deeply grateful for the love and careful guidance of my masters. However, I am of dull talent and find it very difficult to cultivate myself.

Day after day, his longing for his mother grew stronger, his sorrow became unbearable, and he gradually felt powerless, eventually leading to despair.

My only regret in this life is that I was unable to marry Young Master Qi.

This wish remains unfulfilled, leaving only regret. Tonight, I decide to journey to another world to find my mother.

My only wish is to die, so that I may be freed from the suffering of this world. Farewell, I hope you will not grieve too much. Your disciple will forever remember your boundless kindness, and will never forget the friendship I shared with Young Master Qi.

— Respectfully submitted by Tao Ling'er

After reading the letter, Qi Yuxuan's hands trembled slightly, his eyes filled with shock and grief.

"What...what's going on? Why would Tao Ling'er write such a suicide note?"

Lu Yuanchangming frowned: "This letter is hidden on the cover of this sheet music. There is a hole in the cover, which looks like it was chewed by a rat. If it wasn't chewed by a rat, we probably wouldn't have seen this letter."

Lu Yuan said, "Could it be that Tao Ling'er has really passed away? Then the current Zi Yue is really from a foreign land."

Qi Yuxuan also wondered, "No matter where Ziyue comes from, I will find her. I only love the person she is now."

Lu Yuanchangming also said, "I miss Ziyue and hope she comes back soon."
