The Story of Dusk 253 THE LOST OF MEMORIES

And this happened.

The first thing that came into his line of sight, was Luna in critical condition, how it happened? Was he the one who had done this?

How he could kill his own woman?

Xiao Tianyao tried to stop the blood by pressing his hands against her chest, with no avail. He was helpless, this was the first time he felt helpless and scared.

He kept shaking his head as tears fell from his eyes.

This was the first time Luna saw Xiao Tianyao cried painfully like this, he looked so broken and crestfallen. His heart hammering in his chest and every beat brought another new pain.

"No…" Luna was coughing blood and Xiao Tianyao kept apologizing at her. Raising her hand, she wiped away the tears from his cheek.

Luna looked at the scar on his face, it must be Gong Xu who had inflicted it when he tried to ward off his attack.

How she loved him…

He was her first love, she thought they would have an happy ending together, no matter how hard the situation, she thought everything would be fine as long as she had him beside her.

However, it didn't end like what she wished and she couldn't change anything nor she thought she could survive from this injuries.

Luna shouldn't be with him since the beginning, but she went against her fate.

"Forget it… forget everything… forget all the sad memories." Luna was coughing blood again. This time her breath became shallow and with the last breath she had, she spoke hopefully. "But, don't forget about me…"

Don't forget about me and let me continue to live in your memory, Luna really wanted to hear Xiao Tianyao said that he loved her, but apparently she wouldn't have time to wait for him to say those words.

She knew he loved her.

From the tears that fallen from his eyes, Luna knew that Xiao Tianyao had loved her the same.

That was why it was alright, she shouldn't have anymore regret, right?

As Luna's eyes fluttered closed, the last tears trickled down from the cornered of her eyes, the eyes that Xiao Tianyao wouldn't be able to see it again.

Like the only source of light was turned off, gradually everything went black.

Xiao Tianyao shook his head to regain his consciousness, but it didn't work, he still felt exhausted. He was mentally exhausted.

He didn't move from his position, not even loosened his arms around Luna's dead body when he heard Gong Xu angry and desperate scream.

The young man couldn't believe that his sister was dead in the hand of the man who she loved.

"You killed her! You are murderer!!!" Gong Xu yelled and accussed Xiao Tianyao without holding back his anger and went all the way to grab his sword while his ears kept ringing with painful sound.

Gong Xu stumbled a few times before he could reach Xiao Tianyao. He hated this man, he should have killed him!

Xiao Tianyao didn't move, even when he felt Gong Xu was about to stab him.

Xiao Tianyao was in despair.

Gong Xu was only a step away from killing Xiao Tianyao when he stopped and fell on the floor, threw away the sword in his hand.

He couldn't kill Xiao Tianyao, if he killed him, then her sister sacrificed would be meaningless and his cousin would lost both of his parents.

How he could do that to his sister's son? He couldn't do that.

No matter what the reason, Xiao Tianyao was the man that Luna had chosed to be with.

"AAARRRRGGGGGHHHHH!" Gong Xu roared in agony, he felt so helpless he wanted to kill Xiao Tianyao, but couldn't bear to do that.

Xiao Tianyao slightly averted his eyes when he saw Gong Xu's roared and before he closed his eyes, he saw Ye Bai was looking at Luna while his face showed a deep fear.

Ye Bai had come very late and the moment he arrived the only thing that he saw was Xiao Tianyao had killed Luna.

This scene triggered something inside him, he remembered the scene when he found Su Zhang Li and Ye Qing's dead body. It was a scene that he wouldn't be able to forget.

The little family that once he had and he cherished the most.

The scene in front of him recalled all of those nightmares and Xiao Tianyao's eyes that locked with his, made the nightmare more realistic as Ye Bai could see the same despair that reflected on those eyes.

Ye Bai didn't know what he should do, the only thing that he knew was to run far away from this place.

And that was what Ye Bai did, he dashed toward the entrance gates and saw many guards had been waiting there anxiously.

Yang Yu who was standing among the guards, ran to approach him. He knew Ye Bai, that was why he let him to go inside when he came with his bloody appearance.

"What happened inside?" Yang Yu asked impatiently.

He didn't know what had happened, but suddenly he found his Master had arrived at the mansion with bad injuries. But when he wanted to help him, Xiao Tianyao shoved him away and ordered sternly.

"No one is allowed to come inside the courtyard without my words!!! Any one who dares to come, will be death! Including you!" Xiao Tianyao said those words and pointed his sword toward Yang Yu.

Hence no one dare to step inside the courtyard though they didn't know what was their Master would do.

"Sir, what happen?" Yang Yu shook Ye Bai's arms. "I will treat your wound…"

"No need!" Ye Bai yelled and swatted Yang Yu's hand from him. "Go inside! Go and look!!!" He stumbled away as he looked for the exit gates. He mumbled a few words like; "Don't. my fault. I am sorry…"

Yang Yu looked at Ye Bai in puzzlement.

The courtyard was so big, that was why the fighting sound from inside wasn't be able to be heard by those guards and Yang Yu.

"Chief guard Yang Yu, what we should do now?" One of the guards stepped forward to ask their leader.

Yang Yu gave some thought on this, he wanted to follow Xiao Tianyao's instruction, but the situation was really weird and his Master wasn't like himself when he gave the order.

"All of you wait here." He said to his men. "I will go and look, you can come after I said so." Yang Yu thought it was the best decision.

If there was someone who would be punished by their Master, it would be him alone. After all, he didn't believe Xiao Tianyao would punish him regarding this matter.

"But…" Many guards wanted to complain and followed him inside, but was stopped by him.

"Stay!" Yang Yu said in loud voice, stopped the complain that those people would give to him.

After the commotion had died down and they became silence, Yang Yu stepped his feet inside the courtyard.

However, after he was in the courtyard there was no sign of Luna or Xiao Mugi, it supposed to be their voices could be heard from the spot where Yang Yu was standing now.

The only voice that he heard was a male voice who was crying.

The only men who was going inside the mansion was only Xiao Tianyao, but this crying voice wasn't belong to his Master.

Yang Yu stopped and focused to hear from which direction the voice came, after that he walked closer toward the source of the noise.

It came from inside the chamber of Xiao Tianyao and Luna.

Hastily Yang Yu ran toward the chamber and found the door wasn't locked, no, the door even didn't stay on its place, as if someone had busted it down.

Yang Yu's heart thumping badly as he tried to figure out about what the possibility that could happen inside.

The crying sound grew louder.

The moment Yang Yu arrived at the middle of the chamber, his eyes almost popped out from their sockets and his jaws dropped opened as if his feet had been nailed on the floor, he couldn't take a step forward upon seeing the scenes before his eyes.

He couldn't believe it.

His master was hugging Luna's body, who covered with blood and didn't move, while beside both of them, Gong Xu was crying senselessly while hitting the ground.

Yang Yu knew Gong Xu as the younger brother of Luna, and not far from Gong Xu, Yang Yu could see the sword that Gong Xu had threw away earlier, and had a misunderstanding about the situation.

Not far from them, Xiao Mugi's small body was lying unmoved on the ground.

"You had killed miss Luna?" Yang Yu went ahead with his own assumption. He drew his own sword and pointed it toward Gong Xu. "Get up! Stayed away from them!" He warned Gong Xu.

However, the young man suddenly made an impressive escape as he rushed toward the window and collided his body with the steel.

The window was torn opened.

However, Yang Yu didn't have time to chase after him as he rushed again outside to call for help.

His loud voice invited the other guard to come, and the moment they arrived Yang Yu quickly told them to give a chase after Gong Xu.

Yang Yu saw Gong Xu was injured, so he would be able to run after him.

"Call a physician!!" Yang Yu gave another order to the other guard while he checked on Luna first.

His hand was shaking when he couldn't feel her pulse, she was dead.

One of the guards had lifted up Xiao Mugi and the little boy gave a soft whimper. "The young master is fine." The guard informed Yang Yu.

And now, Yang Yu moved his hand toward Xiao Tianyao's neck, he was afraid about the outcome but he had to do this.

His shaking hand was almost touched Xiao Tianyao's pulse on his neck when suddenly he opened his eyes and caught Yang Yu's hand.

"Master…" Yang Yu was surprised.

However, before Xiao Tianyao could ask what he was trying to do, his eyes caught Luna's bloody face. "Luna?" He called out to her while shaking her body, but there was still no response. "Luna?"

"Master, Miss Luna has been passed away." Yang Yu informed the confuse Xiao Tianyao.

"Passed away?" Xiao Tianyao repeated the words strangely. He couldn't comprehend that words. "What do you mean passed away? What happened to her?" Xiao Tianyao was at lost.

"Master, you don't remember about what had happened?" Yang Yu also confused, Xiao Tianyao was there when everything happened, but why he didn't know anything?

Xiao Tianyao looked at Luna's face, but his eyes were empty, he didn't have present mind at this time.

Xiao Tianyao felt like there was an important memories that he shouldn't have to forget, but he didn't know what it was and to whom those memories were belong to…
