Chapter 287 Young Man on a White Horse Drunk in the Spring Breeze 62
"I'm going to kill you to avenge my sister." Yueyao's eyes were like flames as she stared intently at Ye Yun, her hateful gaze seeming to want to tear him to pieces.
"I think we should go out first!" Xiao Ruofeng sighed helplessly and left the cell with Ye Yun, leaving only Baili Dongjun and Yueyao inside.
"Ye Yun, don't go!" Yueyao's voice echoed in the cell, hoarse and filled with despair. Baili Dongjun looked at her with heartache and softly called out, "Yao'er, look at me, it's me, Dongjun!"
However, Yueyao seemed not to hear. Only after Xiao Ruofeng and Ye Yun's figures had completely disappeared did she turn her head, her eyes filled with tears, and look at Baili Dongjun, pleading, "Dongjun, please help me. I beg you to help me kill Ye Yun, okay?"
Baili Dongjun stared at Yueyao in shock, asking incredulously, "What did you say? You want me to kill Brother Yun?"
"Dongjun, Ye Yun killed my sister! He killed my only sister! I must avenge her!" Yueyao became emotional again, and tears streamed down her cheeks.
Although Baili Dongjun felt sorry for Yueyao, he still said, "Yao'er, I can't kill Brother Yun. This whole thing was a scheme by Tianwaitian. If they hadn't set a trap to deceive Brother Yun, this wouldn't have happened. Put yourself in his shoes, if your father had successfully absorbed Brother Yun's inner strength that day, would he have let Brother Yun go?"
In fact, in Baili Dongjun's view, or rather in the view of the entire Beili, Tianwaitian was a demonic sect that had secretly plotted against Beili for many years. Now that Ye Yun and Lei Mengsha had eliminated Tianwaitian, everyone could only praise them and no one would think that the two were cruel.
Moreover, setting aside the grievances between the two countries, and only considering right and wrong, it was Tianwaitian who had first plotted against Ye Yun.
It's unfair to allow only those outside the Heavenly Realm to kill others, while forbidding others from retaliating.
Rejected, Yueyao wept bitterly, her voice filled with endless sorrow and anger: "That's my sister! Ever since the fall of Beique, we sisters have relied on each other for survival. Ye Yun can kill Wuxiang Shi, he can kill Wufa Wutian, he can kill anyone who has ever hurt him, but why did he have to kill Yueqing? She was so innocent, she never did anything wrong!"
She was well aware of the principle that those who kill will be killed in return, but the one who died was her younger sister whom she had carefully raised and cared for since childhood, which was even more painful than killing her.
In her heart, her younger sister will always be that innocent, kind, and dependent little girl.
If she could, she would even trade her own life for her sister's.
Seeing Yueyao like this, Baili Dongjun felt a pang of heartache. He gently wiped away the tears on Yueyao's face and said, "Yueyao, you must pull yourself together. Yueqing's spirit in heaven would not be happy to see you like this."
Yueyao pushed Baili Dongjun's hand away and said indignantly, "Cheer up? How can I cheer up?"
“Now my people, my father and sister are all dead, killed under the iron hooves of your Northern Li, killed by your Brother Yun and your senior brother.”
"You are all cold-blooded, ruthless, and bloodthirsty executioners!"
“If my father had just returned from seclusion safely, I would have advised him to give up on restoring the kingdom and lead the remaining people of Beique to live a peaceful life. But now you have ruined everything.”
“I was even prepared that even if my father failed to emerge from the pass and fell into a deep sleep forever, I would never let the world be engulfed in war again.”
"But why did things end up like this?"
"why?"
Yueyao's emotions had completely collapsed. She sat helplessly on the ground, tears streaming down her face like a broken string of pearls. The grief and despair in her heart surged like a tidal wave, making it almost impossible for her to breathe.
She couldn't understand why things had turned out this way. Why, even though she was prepared to give up everything, was she still unable to prevent this tragedy from happening?
After an unknown amount of time, Yueyao wiped away her tears, a resolute glint in her eyes, and said coldly, "Baili Dongjun, I'll ask you one last time, will you help me kill Ye Yun or not?"
Baili Dongjun stared at Yueyao and slowly shook his head: "Yao'er, I can agree to anything you want, except for this one thing—I can't!"
“As expected,” Yueyao smiled sarcastically, her face a mixture of sadness and determination: “I shouldn’t have been so soft-hearted back then. When I first met you, I should have taken you back to the Outer Heaven directly, and then none of this would have happened.”
"I know you're sad right now, but why say such hurtful things?"
A look of sadness flashed in Yueyao's eyes, but she hardened her heart in the end: "I knew you had a natural martial vein the first time I saw you, but you were too young at the time, so I waited a few more years. Later, I appeared in the academy for the big exam under the alias Yin Luoxia, just to get close to you and then take the opportunity to bring you back to Tianwaitian."
"But Ye Dingzhi's appearance disrupted the plan. Just in case, I made a plan with Wuxiang Shi: he would continue to deal with Ye Dingzhi and temper his will; while I would pretend to fall out with Tianwaitian and deliberately come to your side to make you cultivate the Void Thought Technique through another means."
"So Xiao Ruojin was right, I was using you from beginning to end..."
"Stop talking!" Baili Dongjun hurriedly covered his ears with both hands and interrupted Yueyao's words loudly: "I know you don't want to implicate me, so you said this on purpose. I don't believe a single word of these words. I don't believe them."
Yueyao's lips curled into a sarcastic smile, her voice as cold as a biting wind: "Stop deceiving yourself. The destruction of my Beique was precisely due to your Beili. There is an indelible blood debt between our two countries. How could I fall in love with a Beili person?"
Yueyao's cold words were like sharp blades, piercing Baili Dongjun's heart and causing him unbearable pain.
Baili Dongjun's voice trembled, his tone filled with sorrow: "Yueyao, why are you saying this? You're clearly not that kind of person at all?"
Yueyao turned her head away and did not respond.
Seeing that she didn't react, Baili Dongjun spoke again: "Yueyao, no matter what it takes, I will definitely get you out of here, don't worry."
After saying this, he didn't dare linger any longer and turned to leave in a hurry, afraid that if he looked any longer, he would lose control of his emotions.
Inside the cell, only Yueyao remained. She stood quietly until the footsteps faded into the distance, then slowly turned her head to look in the direction where Baili Dongjun had left, a complex emotion flashing in her eyes.
"Dongjun, this is all I can do," she murmured to herself, her voice carrying a hint of barely perceptible tenderness.
