"And I will fulfill your wish," Ye Qichi suddenly changed the topic.
Bai Mowan felt powerless, still surprised at the mont, looking up at Ye Qichi.
Unexpected.
Could she really be willing to do this?!
Ye Qichi had just made it very clear that once Ye Qichi killed her, Ye Qichi wouldn’t survive either.
But if, Ye Qichi did not kill her, Ye Qichi might still stand a chance to live by luck.
After all, Xiao Jinsen had just stated it so clearly.
Ye Qichi was of no use, and for soone who was of no use, it would actually be easier to escape because they are not important, so no one would care too much.
"It’s not because of your threats," Ye Qichi could see the surprise in Bai Mowan’s eyes, "but rather, when I ca to persuade you, despite the risks of being implicated by you, I was determined to urge you to go back... I am fully aware of the lengths to which Xiao Jinxing would go for you! And all that I have done was standing on the standpoint of the state and the greater national good, not that you’re the only one with the sense of duty and courage to serve the country. Following Xiao Jinxing to combat at the border, was also to minimize the sacrifices of the soldiers as much as possible, to save more of them, so that after serving the country, they may be able to return ho, to honor their parents."
Bai Mowan’s eyes welled up with tears.
This mont, she couldn’t help but recognize her own persistent prejudice against Ye Qichi.
Always stubbornly thinking that everything she did had an ulterior motive.
Now, it seems that it was just her envy of Ye Qichi.
Envious that she was not as outstanding as Ye Qichi.
"Bai Mowan, because of your foolishness, you owe a life, and you also owe Xiao Jinxing a life!" For Xiao Jinxing, Bai Mowan’s death would be harder to accept than his own death.
"It’s my fault..." Bai Mowan’s tears wouldn’t stop.
Never been so disheveled.
Never been so desperate.
At this mont in front of Ye Qichi, she couldn’t even bear to see Ye Qichi.
She truly wished to end her own pathetic life with death.
Ye Qichi did not say any more.
But it’s true that, when facing death, everyone has emotions to vent.
About life and death...
If you really look past it, you won’t care that much anymore.
When Fu Xingyi died back then, I felt that living held little significance.
If it weren’t for the fact that I still had parents and relatives, if it weren’t for humanity being on the brink of extinction and that one couldn’t just choose to die easily, I might have followed Fu Xingyi in death.
When I was bitten on the neck by a zombie and dying, I was actually very calm.
But in the end, I did not die.
I entered into a book.
Thinking that since the heavens gave another chance to live, I shouldn’t waste it; I decided to live well.
Having lived for so long.
I do sowhat wish to live a carefree life.
But then, one is indeed very susceptible to the influence of the family they grow up with. Since the An Family was also a powerful family during the apocalypse, holding great sway among humans, with a high status and astonishing dical skills, the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility; hence, the An Family took on the duty of saving mankind. I too had been nurtured and influenced in such a family since childhood; so when I ca here, considering the nation and the ethnic perspective beca my instinct.
If I could really be carefree.
Why would I keep being tied down, unable to break free!
Now, I am at peace with it.
Everyone dies eventually.
Whether light as a feather or as heavy as Mount Tai.
When I died during the apocalypse, I saved all the Divine Doctor Soldiers of the An Family; I died honorably.
This ti, she saved the common people of Daxuan Kingdom at dawn and died a glorious death!
Ye Qichi’s eyes tightened.
The silver needle hidden in the sleeve was instantly transferred between her fingers; all it took was to aim at Bai Mowan’s artery. Once the poison needle entered her bloodstream, even the mightiest Divine Doctor Soldier of Beimu Country couldn’t turn the tide.
Bai Mowan would die within the tifra of an incense stick burning.
Ye Qichi’s fingers slightly trembled.
The mont she targeted the artery...
A shadow moved swiftly to Ye Qichi’s side.
At the sa ti.
Her hand was fiercely shackled.
The silver needle couldn’t even spring forth from her grasp.
Because of the man’s brute strength, the silver needle directly fell to the ground.
Just a bit...
A little closer.
Xiao Jinsen always arrived so tily.
"I suddenly rembered that Bai Mowan has no capacity to commit suicide, but the Princess doesn’t lack the ability to kill her. I haven’t forgotten how the Princess almost thwarted my plans last night; how could I possibly let you stay by Bai Mowan’s side?!" Xiao Jinsen said with a cold and proud smile, so excessively self-satisfied.
It seed he was particularly proud of having unraveled their thoughts.
"From the beginning, I never left. After sending away Mu Junze, I’ve been in the prison the whole ti. So, Princess, don’t think that you were rely delayed because of your grievances against Bai Mowan. The mont you made your move, I was always around!" Xiao Jinsen said with a malicious smile plastered across his face.
Ye Qichi t Xiao Jinsen’s gaze.
This man, the largest antagonist in the book, was indeed not simple.
She had not even spoken a word.
Yet he deduced all her thoughts.
"And I have not shown myself simply because I wanted to see how the Princess would choose? I didn’t hear clearly what you both discussed, but I can imagine. However, it upsets sowhat that the Princess would sacrifice her own life for Xiao Jinxing." Xiao Jinsen stated coldly.
At this mont, his face beca increasingly ugly.
That kind of anger that couldn’t be fully concealed was oddly eerie.
Ye Qichi couldn’t decipher why Xiao Jinsen cared so much about her decision for the life of her.
"I didn’t do it for Xiao Jinxing." Ye Qichi stated directly, "I did it for the common people of Daxuan Kingdom. I fear that if Xiao Jinxing truly gives up the world for Bai Mowan, it would not be a pity should he die, but it’s not worth it for so many common people to suffer the consequences."
"Not for Xiao Jinxing?" Xiao Jinsen seed incredulous, yet he questioned, "Isn’t it rumored that you love Xiao Jinxing as much as life itself?"
"Are rumors also suggesting that I’m incompetent? Do you believe that?" Ye Qichi retorted, then, with conviction in every word, asserted, "Rumors are just rumors, how can you take them at face value?!"
Xiao Jinsen pursed his lips.
He looked at Ye Qichi’s expression as if evaluating her.
Slowly.
Xiao Jinsen said, "For the common people of Daxuan Kingdom? Without Xiao Jinxing, do you think that I cannot be a good emperor?"
Ye Qichi frowned.
She hadn’t expected Xiao Jinsen to suddenly ask this.
Xiao Jinsen, a man so full of self-regard, didn’t seem like soone who needed others’ affirmation.
But Ye Qichi was clear that she couldn’t incite Xiao Jinsen at this mont.
She didn’t want to suffer any needless harm.
"Don’t you know the nature of Mu Junze?!" Ye Qichi asked, "Even if he fulfills his promise and helps you ascend to the throne of Daxuan Kingdom, he will still advance into Daxuan’s territory next, regardless of any personal feelings."
