Chapter 721: Chapter 726 Let Me Save Her_1
If she had accepted Xuan San earlier and let him take her away from this place of contention, maybe everything would have been different. This was Yin Yinyue’s last lament.
But... it was really too late.
As the heads of the Yin Family father and daughter, who had plagued White Stone Town for so many years, fell to the ground, the common people all knelt down.
"Thank you, Lord of Green Sky! Thank you, Lord of Sunny Sky!"
With the Yin Family dealt with, their long-awaited days of clear skies and bright sunshine had finally returned!
As the execution official, Yu Qian loudly proclaimed, "For them to have been able to commit such evil for so many years is a failure of oversight by the Imperial court. I, on behalf of the Imperial court, apologize to everyone and hope for your forgiveness."
"Furthermore, I swear that as long as there is a single corrupt official within Ning Tian Mansion, I shall not return to court."
As the Emperor’s Teacher, he indeed had the authority to make such a statement.
The common people cheered and jumped for joy. Lord Yu was the highest-ranking official they had ever seen, and since he had made such a statement, could their good days be far behind?
In a small mountain village on the border of Shun Tian Mansion.
"Big brother, I beg you, let me save her!"
Xuan San struggled furiously, but no matter how much he strained, he couldn’t break free from the iron chains binding him.
Xuan Er said coldly, "Looking at you now, big brother shouldn’t have sacrificed himself."
With big brother around, Xuan Eagle Mountain Village would survive.
Not like Xuan San, this useless man who was always on the brink of death for a woman.
Since Xuan San learned the truth, he had been kept locked up, but while his body could be confined, his heart couldn’t be.
Xuan San refused to eat and tried to bite his tongue; he had tried every trick in the book.
But if Xuan San had his clever plans, he also had countermeasures.
When Xuan San refused to eat, he was force-fed Ginseng Soup, which could sustain his life for several days.
When Xuan San tried to bite his tongue, his mouth was kept gagged except when he was being given water or food.
After so many days of struggle, everyone was exhausted, except for Xuan San who kept causing trouble.
Xuan San, with bloodshot eyes, said, "Why didn’t you stop big brother? Why did you let him save me? I regret it every day now, but what can that change? Big brother can’t be brought back to life, and Silver Moon is going to die too!"
Such days were nothing but torment for him!
With his most respected big brother and his beloved woman both gone, what meaning was there left for him to continue living?
Xuan Er, infuriated, said, "Are you even human, speaking like that? If killing you could bring big brother back to life, I would do it right now!"
Big brother had given his life for Xuan San, and yet, he faced blame?
"Then kill me! Kill me, and I’ll be free!"
Xuan San’s eyes were frantic with urgency, as Xuan Er clenched his fists, barely managing to control his rage.
He couldn’t kill Xuan San, but he had another way to shut him up – stuffing his mouth with cloth so he couldn’t speak.
That way, Xuan San wouldn’t have the chance to provoke him anymore.
Finally, as the third quarter after Noon passed, Xuan Er could finally breathe a sigh of relief.
Yin Yinyue was finally dead, that venomous woman who always capitalized on his younger brother’s feelings—she was dead!
From then on, he would no longer have to worry about that woman bringing harm to his brother or to Xuan Eagle Mountain Village.
And suddenly, Xuan San blacked out and lost consciousness.
Xuan Er quickly removed the cloth from his mouth and summoned people to carry Xuan San to bed, tending to him with washing and changing his clothes, and then summoned a doctor to treat him.
Thankfully, Xuan San had a strong constitution; he had merely fainted due to exhaustion and rage. With some rest, he would recover.
After the doctor’s diagnosis, Xuan Er finally let out a sigh of relief; it was good news that Xuan San wouldn’t die.
Just when Xuan Er thought everything had settled down, trouble arose with Xuan San again.
The next morning, the attendant reported that Xuan San was missing, having climbed out of the window at dawn.
