Chapter 1984: The Battle XXXVI

Five years…
She had never given up, waiting for them.
They had not come back for five years…
There were times when she thought that even if her mother and the others were busy, they would still come back somewhen in these five years.
Unless they had another child and did not want her anymore…
However, every time she saw Qiu Hui receiving a letter from her grandfather, she would become sad because she clearly understood what it meant.
‘Mother, Father… Something must have happened to them. That’s why they didn’t come back for such a long time…
“Nonsense!”
Xia Xia rushed toward Nan Luo fiercely; her face filled with rage. “Mother and Father will come back and bring me home!
“And Sister Qing Han and Brother Fu Chen… They will all come back!”
She looked so furious, and even though some things were already vaguely clear in her mind, she would never admit it.
She believed that they would come back sooner or later.
Nan Luo’s gaze sank. “I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have told you this. Nine Gate doesn’t allow anyone to talk about it, and that’s why you’re in the dark on this matter. I can’t bear to let you keep waiting alone. That’s why I told you the truth…”
The grief on her face was not fake.
The thought of Nan Xian dying in Spirit Beast Mountain made her heart ached.
She never thought that Nan Xian would really lose his life in Spirit Beast Mountain.
If she had known, she would have advised him to leave when she was in Spirit Beast Mountain.
Why did Feng Ruqing dig her grave and drag others along with her?
If she wanted to die, she should have gone alone!
“Shut up!”
Xia Xia was furious and slapped Nan Luo fiercely.
Her palm was small, but she was so strong that Nan Luo’s face instantly turned red and swollen.
Since coming to Nine Gate, she had never been treated like this. Anger surged to her heart, but thinking of Nine Gate’s love for Xia Xia, she suppressed her anger again.
“I’m sorry…”
She lowered her gaze and said in a small, apologetic voice.
“Ah!!!”
Xia Xia held her head, squatted down, and shouted. Her grief-stricken voice echoed in Nine Gate for a long time.
Qiu Hui arrived just in time to see Xia Xia curled up and trembling; her face was pale.
It was so heartbreaking to see Xia Xia in such a state.
Qiu Hui quickly reached Xia Xia, taking her into her arms.
She hugged her tightly.
“Xia Xia, what happened?”
Xia Xia let go of her hand.
Her body was so thin that it looked like a gust of wind could blow her away.
Her face was covered in tears; she looked so pitiful.
“Aunt Qiu, when will Mother come back?”
Qiu Hui’s heart ached and hugged Xia Xia tightly. “They will be back soon.”
“Really?” Xia Xia looked up with her big eyes.
There was no longer any light in those eyes.
“Five years… Mother and Father have been gone for five years but they haven’t come back… Just now, this woman told me that Mother and Father died. They died in Spirit Beast Mountain. Aunt Qiu, tell me… Are Mother and Father already dead? Tell me now! ”
Xia Xia’s tears fell as she choked. “I am still young, but you can’t lie to me. Every time Aunt Qiu receives a letter, your face will turn gloomy. I noticed it, but… I believe that as long as I do not think too much… As long as I keep thinking that Mother and Father will come back… They will certainly come back.
“But… This woman told me that they have died. They have left me and will never come back.”
