When we arrived at the valley in the western suburbs, it was still dark.
Xuanyuan Zhan glanced at Su Xuening, who was fast asleep in his arms, but couldn't bear to wake her.
Anyway, Su Renyi will be beheaded at noon, so it's still early.
Xuan Yuanzhan stared blankly at Su Xuening's stunningly beautiful face. Her fair forehead, her exquisite eyebrows, her narrow eyes, her round nose, and her delicate lips... every part of her was perfect!
Xuan Yuanzhan's gaze gradually became infatuated, and he couldn't help but lower his head and steal a kiss on her lips.
The person who was sleeping soundly seemed to be woken up. She turned to her side and unconsciously snuggled into Xuan Yuanzhan's arms, finding a comfortable position to continue sleeping.
Xuan Yuanzhan's heart melted instantly, and he couldn't help but hug her tighter.
After Su Renyi's matter is resolved, he wants to become her real husband and wife.
Xuan Yuanzhan didn't sleep all night, but Su Xuening slept soundly in his arms. She slept until the sun shone into the carriage, and was then awakened by the glaring sunlight.
When Su Xuening opened her eyes, the first thing she saw was Xuan Yuanzhan's large hand shielding her from the sun.
"You're awake." Seeing Su Xuening wake up, Xuan Yuanzhan said with a wry smile, "The sunlight is too bright, I can't block it."
Su Xuening was deeply moved. She knew he must have been blocking out the sunlight for a long time, otherwise she would have woken up long ago.
"That's enough." Su Xuening stood up directly, looking at him with some heartache: "Didn't you sleep all night? Actually, I could have come to pick up Yun'an myself. You should rest more because of your injury."
She, on the other hand, slept soundly in someone's arms all night.
"I'm perfectly healthy. You shouldn't think of your husband as so weak." Xuan Yuanzhan said arrogantly, almost patting his wound to prove he wasn't a weakling.
Upon hearing the word "husband," Su Xuening's pretty face couldn't help but blush.
She was thinking about becoming his business partner yesterday, and that she could sleep peacefully in his arms all night. She really doesn't treat him like an outsider!
"Ahem~ I'm going to pick up Yun'an." Su Xuening said softly, and then got off the carriage.
Xuanyuan Zhan got off the carriage and said, "I'll go too. I haven't seen Master for several days. I have to go and say hello to him."
Hearing him call her "Master" repeatedly made Su Xuening even more uncomfortable.
Let him follow if he wants. He understands formations, and neither the stone forest nor the bamboo forest can trap him, so naturally she can't stop him either.
When she came last time, her master asked about him. You could say they appreciate each other!
The two of them walked through the stone formation, entered the bamboo forest, and arrived at the bamboo house.
"Sister!" Su Yun'an, who was sitting in front of the bamboo house, saw Su Xuening fly into her arms like a cannonball.
Pei Luo came out of the house and complained to Su Xuening, "Ever since your mother left, this kid has been like a lost soul. He has no interest in practicing martial arts anymore. You've come at the right time. Hurry up and take him back."
Su Xuening affectionately patted Su Yun'an's head, then looked at Pei Luo and said, "I did come to pick up Yun'an today, and I will send him back after today."
"Take him back and let him relax a bit. Next time he comes, he can't be so distracted again." Pei Luo naturally had no objection; he also felt sorry for the two children.
Knowing that their mother had left was a huge blow to the two children, especially the younger one, who was completely devastated!
"Master." Xuan Yuanzhan bowed to Pei Luo with the respect due to a junior.
Pei Luo quite liked his disciple and son-in-law, Xuan Yuanzhan: "I heard you're injured again. How are you? Would you like your master to take a look at your injuries?"
"Thank you, Master. No need, I'm already fully recovered," Xuan Yuanzhan said with a smile.
...These two aren't shy at all; it's Su Xuening who's embarrassed by them.
They were a master and a student, and they accepted each other quite quickly!
After staying in the bamboo house for a short while, Su Xuening and Xuan Yuanzhan took their leave with Su Yun'an.
Pei Luo personally escorted the person out of the Ink Bamboo Forest.
Watching the three figures leave, Pei Luo felt somewhat lost and disappointed.
He used to be alone in this bamboo forest and never felt lonely. But ever since that kid Su Yun'an came, he's gotten used to having someone with him, and now that the kid hasn't even left the bamboo forest yet, he's already starting to feel lonely.
After watching them leave the bamboo forest, Pei Luo turned and went back dejectedly.
After leaving the stone forest, the three boarded a carriage and headed towards the capital city.
"Sister, is there any result regarding Su Renyi's matter?" Su Yun'an asked Su Xuening expectantly.
Su Xuening touched his little face: "The Emperor has sentenced Su Renyi to be stripped of his title and his property confiscated. He will be beheaded and his head displayed to the public at noon today."
Su Yun'an immediately said with a look of glee and indignation, "Su Renyi deserved it. He tormented Mother like that and kept sending assassins to kill you. He deserved to die!"
Su Xuening's eyes flickered slightly; Su Renyi's evil deeds were far more than these.
Her father was also killed by him and Su Huiyan, but she hadn't found out the truth about her father's death yet, and she didn't want to tell Yun An about it for the time being.
The three entered the capital city but did not return to the Holy King's Palace.
Xuan Yuanzhan led Su Xuening and Su Yun'an directly into a teahouse and requested a private room on the second floor.
This teahouse is located directly opposite the execution ground at the Meridian Gate, and you can see the execution ground from the private room.
At 9:00 AM, the three officials escorted Su Renyi, Shao Kun, and a group of Black Snake Society assassins to the execution ground.
Before they could even be put on the execution platform, the people's mussel leaves, stones, and clods of earth smashed Su Renyi and Shao Kun half to death.
"Su Renyi is disloyal, unfilial, unkind, and devoid of conscience. He deserves to die. Beat him to death, you bastard!"
"Shao Kun insulted my sister and killed my whole family. Now I can finally take my revenge!"
"And me too! The Black Serpent killed my parents and brothers; they finally got their comeuppance!"
"The Black Serpent Society killed the entire Cao Imperial Censor family. What an excellent and honest official Cao Imperial Censor was! They wiped out his whole family. These beasts should be beaten to death."
"These people have committed countless evils, bullied men and women, and killed countless people. Not a single one of them is a good person. Kill them all!"
The people of Kyoto harbor deep-seated hatred for the Black Serpent Society. Over the years, the Black Serpent Society has run rampant in Kyoto, committing countless evil deeds. Now, it seems that heaven has finally opened its eyes, and someone is finally going to deal with them!
Those who had been wronged by Shao Kun and his gang, and who also resented Su Renyi's actions, started preparing these rotten vegetable leaves, stones, and clods of earth yesterday, hoping to vent their hatred today.
Xuanyuan Zhan glanced at Su Xuening: "The choice of this person was good. This time, it can be considered as ridding the people of the capital of a scourge."
Su Xuening smiled and raised her lips: "It was nothing."
Xuan Yuanzhan felt a tickle in his heart from her smile.
Su Yun'an, watching the people throwing stones from the second floor, felt itchy to join in. He turned to Xuan Yuanzhan and Su Xuening and said, "We should stand down here."
Xuan Yuanzhan knew exactly what he was thinking. He picked up a chess piece from the table and handed it to him, then grabbed his hand and flicked it at Su Renyi in the prison cart.
"Pfft!" The chess piece struck Su Renyi heavily in the chest, and Su Renyi instantly felt as if he had been punched hard, spitting out a mouthful of blood.
Su Yun'an was immediately overjoyed and eagerly grabbed a handful of chess pieces, saying, "Brother-in-law."
