Now that her mother was gone, she had to rely on her own strength to find her father.
Thus, young Li Li began desperately climbing the Soul-breaking Ladder. She clung tightly to her mother's dying words, making not a single sound. With her petite figure hidden in the shadows of the mountain crevices, she miraculously climbed all the way near the top without being discovered by the Blood Eagles.
Excited, Li Li pulled herself up onto the cliff's edge and reached the perimeter of the Chief Mansion. Staring at the vast estate, she felt a pang of bewilderment. In such a huge place, where could her father be?
Before she could think it through, she saw someone approaching. She quickly ducked behind a large rock.
It was a group of guards, dragging a man who had just been in Mei Ji's bed to toss him off the Soul-breaking Cliff. As they drew closer, Li Li finally saw clearly that the man being dragged across the ground was none other than her father.
