Nanmen Ruoyuan's eyes still held hatred as she stared coldly at Nanmen Yihen. However, she was puzzled. She knew very well about the scars on Nanmen Yihen's body. Even if her brother wasn't invincible, there weren't many people in the world who could hurt him. Moreover, the numerous holes and scars all over his body were quite strange.

Nanmen Yihan bluntly said, "Xuan'er, you should recognize this. This is my unique hidden weapon, the Bone-Piercing Nail. Do you think it's over just because you let that man go? Don't you know how much face your father values? I know you publicly spoke ill of Tuoba Hongen's child because you wanted to save his life, but you made your father lose face in front of all the heroes of the world. If this were before, your father might have compromised. But back then, the Northern Barbarians were about to be destroyed, and my long-cherished wish for the Central Plains was about to be fulfilled. At that time, if you went against the world, your father would not tolerate it. If it weren't for me, how could you have survived to this day? I'm not trying to prove anything, Xuan'er. I just want to tell you that no man in this world can care for you and protect you like your brother does! Even your father can't do that! I only want you to live well and be happy, but because of that bastard, your life has been changed. Grinding him to dust would be too lenient. Xuan'er, turn back. You are my sister. No matter what others say, I will protect your life!"

Upon hearing this, many of those who had previously clamored for Nanmen Ruoxuan's execution immediately shut their mouths. They wouldn't be surprised by anything Nanmen Yihen was capable of, given his ruthless and decisive nature.

Nanmen Ruoxuan believed most of Nanmen Yihen's words. She suddenly felt pathetic. In fact, she was so smart, how could she not understand that the man didn't have her in his heart? All her obsessions over the years were just wishful thinking on her part. In the ancient well, wasn't Jin Lian'en's final death just a reflection of her jealousy?

Even a woman who was once abandoned by Tuoba Hongen could leave a mark on this man's heart, but Nanmen Ruoxuan could never enter that man's heart. Looking at her brother in front of her, she felt guilty for the first time.

However, Nangong Ling'er, who was not far away, was somewhat uneasy. She looked at Nanmen Ruoxuan and saw the image of her senior brother Xiao in her eyes. She knew that after all the commotion, her senior brother still ended up like this. Why? She was unwilling, but at this moment she could not get entangled with Nanmen Yihen.

She then coldly looked at Nanmen Yihen, "Sect Leader Nanmen, your sister has quite a few lives on her hands, hasn't she? This time, my Senior Brother Xiao was seriously injured while traveling with you, and... Sect Leader Qin of the Kunlun Immortal Sect died in battle in the Northern Barbarian Dragon City. Since these things are all related to your sister, don't you plan to give us an explanation? Or are you waiting for the Dao Alliance to gather again and all the sects to come and cause trouble for your Snow Frost Blade Sect?"

Nanmen Yihen frowned slightly, sheathed the knife in his hand, and then said, "I will abolish my sister's cultivation and imprison her from now on. She will never leave the Nanmen family again. I will pay for the rest of her sins!"

Nangong Ling'er glanced at Nanmen Yihen, then looked meaningfully at Nanmen Ruoxuan, "So... how do you plan to repay me?"

Nanmen Yihen was not afraid at all and immediately said, "If you all hold my Snow Cold Blade Sect accountable, that's fine. Let Sect Leader Ye Qingyun come to the Snow Cold Blade Sect. Whatever decision you come to, I, Nanmen Yihen, am willing to accept it!"

Nanmen Yihen believed in Ye Qingyun's chivalry and that he wouldn't favor anyone based on personal feelings, so he thought about speaking up. Clearly, Nanmen Yihen also looked down on these so-called righteous sects. In the world today, only the Heavenly Sword Sect could surpass the Snow Cold Blade Sect.

Moreover, there aren't many people that Nanmen Yihan admires, and Ye Qingyun happens to be one of them.

Nangong Ling'er snorted, "Even if the sect leader comes here, he is always fair and just, and he will definitely hold Nanmen Ruoxuan accountable. Sect Leader Nanmen, you are the head of a sect, do you really want to take all the blame for your sister? Do you know that if something happens to you, the Snow Cold Blade Sect will be finished!"

Having said that, Nanmen Ruoxuan understood that these words were spoken by Nangong Ling'er to her. The meaning was clear: if she did not die, she would be implicating her brother and the Xuehan Blade Sect once again.

At this moment, Nanmen Ruoxuan believed Nanmen Yihen's words. Moreover, looking at the bone-piercing nails on Nanmen Yihen's body, she could imagine how angry her father must have been back then, and she could also imagine the kind of argument her brother had with her father to save her life. No matter how much she deceived herself, no matter how much she idealized the man in her heart, she could not turn a blind eye to her brother's doting love.

She was in great pain. The people and things she had believed in were all wrong. The only one who truly cared for her was her brother, whom she had stabbed with a dagger.

Nanmen Ruoxuan slowly rose, walked to Nanmen Yihen, knelt down, and kowtowed, "Brother, Xuan'er was wrong."

Nanmen Yihen was somewhat surprised, his eyes filled with tenderness. But suddenly, Nanmen Ruoxuan stood up and pushed Nanmen Yihen away, pressing a dagger to her throat. "I don't think it's wrong for me to love someone. Even if he's utterly wicked, even if he's a hypocrite, I still love him. Brother, I apologized earlier, but I shouldn't have misunderstood you. Yes, I almost forgot, you've always protected me since I was very young. How could you harm me? But I can't go back... What good is it for you to protect my life, brother? Are you going to let me live in the past, unable to escape? Or should I pretend to be a well-behaved and obedient young lady of the Nanmen family again? Let me go, brother, for the last time, forgive my willfulness..."

As soon as she finished speaking, blood splattered on the ground. Her face was so tragically beautiful. The eldest daughter of the Nanmen family was known throughout the world for her dignified and gentle demeanor, her knowledge and manners. From that moment on, her life was cut short.

She simply trusted the wrong person, lived her life in vain, and now she has no choice but to end it all with her own death.
