Chapter 178 An Opportunity (1)

Xiao Yue did not reply to Du Ye's words. Instead, he walked slowly towards the cliff and carefully observed every tree beside him. Until Xiao Yue suddenly turned around as if he had found something.

"I found it! Du Ye, I found it!" Xiao Yue shouted to Du Ye, and at the same time, he kept touching the tree trunk with his hand.

"What did you find?" Du Ye was puzzled.

"I found the traces left behind by Su Nuo when he inserted the dagger into the tree trunk to fix the note and pendant!" Xiao Yue said as he handed the note left behind by Su Nuo to Du Ye.

"How can you be sure that this is the place?" Du Ye asked as he looked at the note Xiao Yue handed him.

As far as Du Ye knew, Xiao Yue had never returned to this place since Su Nuo's death, so why was Xiao Yue so sure that this was Su Nuo's mark?

"Because this route is the nearest straight line to the cliff after coming out of the house," Xiao Yue gently stroked the wound on the tree. "And I've been looking for traces that match this note just now. You see that this wound matches the traces on this note very well, don't you?"

"Xiao Yue, what are we doing here?" Du Ye originally thought that Xiao Yue would bring him to the edge of the cliff to pay his respects to Su Nuo, but Xiao Yue did not do so. Instead, he kept looking for traces of Su Nuo stabbing into the tree.

"I want to guess how she felt when she ran here, leaving behind the note and pendant." Xiao Yue stroked the mark and his eyes became gentle. "This is also for the sake of remembering her. Du Ye, why haven't we found Su Nuo's corpse?"

"I don't know either. After Su Nuo jumped off the cliff, I immediately sent people to search for Su Nuo. At first, I thought that if she was alive, I could still save her as soon as possible. However, I had people search for Su Nuo for several days without finding any traces of life or death." Du Ye's heart also became very heavy. Originally, he thought that he could at least retrieve Su Nuo's corpse and organize a funeral for her, but he had never found her corpse.

"How is this possible? After a person jumps down, regardless of life or death, they will always be able to find it. How can there be no trace of it?" Xiao Yue frowned, completely unable to understand.

"However, we have indeed searched for a long time, but we haven't found it. Perhaps we have been washed further away by the torrent under the cliff, right?" Du Ye did not know how to answer Xiao Yue's question. Du Ye also felt that this matter was a little strange.

Xiao Yue suddenly thought of something and stared at Du Ye. "Du Ye, do you think there's a possibility? Although it's not realistic, it's still possible. If that's the case, then the reason why you can't find the corpse will be established," he said.

"What's the possibility?" Du Ye wondered if Xiao Yue wanted to tell him about his soul?

That's right, I guess Su Nuo might not be dead. Xiao Yue saw Du Ye's face and immediately revealed an exaggerated expression. He knew just how shocked his thoughts had been to Du Ye.

"This, how is this possible? That cliff is so high, and the water under the cliff is so urgent. How could Su Nuo still be alive?" Du Ye felt that this possibility was extremely slim.

'"I think it's very possible. Think about it, don't you think it's strange that you haven't found the body? If Su Nuo dies, then no matter how far the torrent drags her, I believe you will definitely find her."

'"But it took you a long time to find it. This means that Su Nuo was rescued not long after she jumped down. Where is she now? What do you think?" The more Xiao Yue spoke, the more excited he became, as if this was the truth.

"Xiao Yue, do you think if Su Nuo isn't dead, why hasn't she come to look for you for so long? Do you think this is reasonable?" Du Ye did not expect Xiao Yue to be so persistent towards Su Nuo. He was so persistent that he assumed that someone would be able to jump off such a high cliff and survive.

'"I know this possibility sounds ridiculous, but I would rather believe that it is true, because you didn't find the corpse." Xiao Yue still insisted on this idea. "I was thinking that if Su Nuo was still alive, there must be a reason why she didn't come to me. Madam Xiao and I hurt her so deeply. What reason does she have to come to me?"

Although Du Ye could accept Xiao Yue's theory emotionally, he could not accept it intellectually. "Xiao Yue, I think you're playing tricks again. You can't do this. I know you love Su Nuo very much, but she's not here anymore, but you're still alive. You can't keep doing this."

"Xiao Yue, you have to have your own life. You have to start your own life again. You can't live in Su Nuo's shadow forever. I don't think Su Nuo would want you to do this, right?" Du Ye felt that Xiao Yue was getting more and more ridiculous. He felt that it was necessary to wake Xiao Yue up. Otherwise, Xiao Yue might not be able to get out of this corner in his entire life.

"Du Ye, I didn't get into trouble," Xiao Yue felt that this was a sliver of hope for him. '"If Su Nuo was still alive, she would definitely still be angry with me, so my plan to avenge her must be vigorous. The more people know about it, the better. Perhaps Su Nuo will also know. Perhaps she won't be angry with me anymore, so she will take the initiative to contact me."

"Then what if Su Nuo still hasn't contacted you after you implemented your plan?" Du Ye knew that he could not stop Xiao Yue, so he could only give him a time and a deadline. At that time, Xiao Yue would have to give up, so that Xiao Yue could slowly start his new life.

"If Su Nuo still hasn't contacted me, I will admit that Su Nuo is dead. At that time, my revenge will be avenged, and I will give up." Xiao Yue also knew that he must end this matter. Not only myself but also Du Ye can start a new life. "At that time, I will start my own life again. I will treasure Su Nuo as a memory on my life trajectory and remember her when we are old."

'"That's right," Du Ye said as he brought Xiao Yue to the edge of the cliff. "At that time, Xiao Yue, let's treasure this memory together. I believe Su Nuo also wants to see us live a wonderful and vigorous life, don't you think? Then let's leave our memories of Su Nuo here and remember her when we get old."

"I will. When I avenge Su Nuo and prove that she is really dead, I think I will come here again." Xiao Yue felt as if he had been freed. It feels so relaxed, "I'll be here to recall the memories I had with her and put them here to start my own life. When I'm too old to walk anymore, I'll come back and retrieve her memories and leave this world with her memories."
