When the young people saw the piglet, they all greeted it with smiles. They looked at Ye Qingqing with some surprise, but they didn't ask any questions. It was the rule on the mountain to talk less, ask less, and work more.
Zhu Zi emerged from the house with a dark expression and shouted at the dejected young man behind her, "Don't you know the sect rules? I'll give you two choices: go to the Ten Thousand Poisons Cave for three days, or poison that woman to death."
"Sect Master, I...I'll go to the Ten Thousand Poisons Cave. Siyue is innocent; she knows nothing." Although the young man was afraid, he still resolutely chose the Ten Thousand Poisons Cave.
Zhu Zi laughed in anger, "Well, you've grown bold! Men, throw this audacious bastard into the Ten Thousand Poisons Cave now!"
The others hesitated and dared not come over. The Ten Thousand Poison Cave was no joke. Someone shouted at the man, "Zhu Kexing, quickly apologize to the sect leader and poison that woman to death. Why make the sect leader angry for the sake of outsiders?"
“No, Siyue really doesn’t know anything. I’m willing to accept the sect’s punishment. I… I’ll go to the Ten Thousand Poisons Cave myself.”
Ye Qingqing became interested and walked closer. The man named Zhu Kexing was about thirty years old. He was of average appearance but quite energetic. He stared at Zhu Zi with a stubborn expression.
"What happened?"
Little Pig asked the others, but he didn't understand what had happened either. It sounded like Zhu Kexing had brought outsiders into the mountain. The sect rules forbade bringing outsiders into the mountain without permission, no wonder Zhu Zi was so angry.
When Ye Qingqing heard Zhu Kexing mention Siyue, her heart skipped a beat. It must be a girl, and she even shared the same name as her college classmate, Dong Siyue. Dong Siyue won a beauty pageant and then naturally entered the entertainment industry.
Dong Siyue has acting talent, and although her appearance is not stunning, she has a face that is perfect for the big screen and is very suitable for acting in movies. In addition, with the strong support of the man behind her, Li Hongming, Dong Siyue's acting career has been relatively smooth. She has starred in several well-received and commercially successful movies and has become quite famous.
However, a few years ago, Li Hongming suddenly had an accident and almost died. Fortunately, he was with Dong Siyue. Dong Siyue had studied at medical school for Li Hongming's health. That night, she finally came in handy. Fortunately, Dong Siyue rescued him in time, and Li Hongming survived. However, his health was not as good as before, and he even had to use a cane to walk.
Before, Li Hongming was full of energy and looked no more than fifty years old even though he was over sixty. But after his serious illness, he became a frail and haggard old man with white hair, a hunched back, and a staggering gait. Standing next to Dong Siyue, he looked just like her grandfather.
Perhaps Li Hongming had come to terms with it, or perhaps he felt his health was failing, so he took the initiative to break up with her. Moreover, he was very generous, offering her a villa in Hong Kong and a villa in Kyoto. Ye Qingqing didn't ask about the cash, but given Li Hongming's sincerity towards Dong Siyue, it certainly wouldn't be a small amount.
After the separation, Dong Siyue remained silent for a long time. In fact, she was not entirely without feelings for Li Hongming. After all, they had lived together for so many years. Dong Siyue had been with Li Hongming since she was sixteen, until she was twenty-six. The best ten years of a woman's life were spent by Li Hongming's side.
Moreover, Li Hongming helped her so much; he could be considered her savior. He also taught her many principles of life. To Dong Siyue, Li Hongming was like a father, a husband, and a teacher. If Li Hongming were single, no matter how old he was, she would marry him without hesitation.
But Li Hongming couldn't get a divorce, and she didn't want to break up someone else's family, so they had no choice but to separate.
Ye Qingqing recalled the past. She hadn't contacted Dong Siyue for a long time. This girl wasn't very ambitious and had always acted in a conventional way. She couldn't be called a first-tier actress, but she was definitely a second or third-tier actress, and she basically made one movie a year.
"Go ahead and poison me, I don't want to live anymore anyway." A woman walked over, her voice cold and clear.
