Chapter 616: Heartbroken
“When I was first thrown down, I struggled to escape countless times, but there were formations and restrictions set up by her on the boulder, and I couldn’t break through at all.
Next to the well, the guards who once protected the queen with me were still guarding it.
Their mission is to restrain me again if they find any unusual movement on my part."
Yun Guiyue took a deep breath. This kind of punishment was actually much more painful than killing him directly, because based on his abilities, he would definitely not die so quickly underwater.
There is hope for a breakthrough, but the more he adds to the hope, the more hope will be extinguished again and again, until the moment of his final death, when deep despair has enveloped him.
It's not just physical death, it's also mental death.
But that’s not all.
He paused for a moment and continued, "I was in the well and heard them capture my mother and sister."
Yun Guiyue's heart skipped a beat.
"It was so obvious, it was clearly meant for me. I didn't want to believe it at first, but then I heard my sister's voice, she was crying and saying she was scared."
The guard's voice choked with sobs. "At that moment, I suddenly began to regret. If I hadn't made that choice in the beginning, perhaps my mother and sister wouldn't have suffered such a disaster."
Yun Guiyue said calmly, "You didn't do anything wrong. You just wanted to protect your family."
The guard chuckled, "I also want to comfort myself that I am not wrong, but the fact is, my mother and sister are dead, and I am dead too."
He took a deep breath and stood up, "This is my whole story. I have spent countless days and nights in the well until today.
If you can fulfill my wish, then the scales in my hand will naturally be yours."
Yun Guiyue responded and suddenly asked, "Where did you get the scales in your hand?"
So far, this guard was the most sober ghost she had encountered. He was not completely immersed in his own story. If this could not answer her questions, then she was afraid that she would have no choice but to ask the queen.
The guard thought for a moment and said, "To be honest, I don't know. I wasn't always conscious after I became a ghost. I must have been silent for a very long time. At a certain moment, I suddenly became conscious. At that time, I already had this scale in my hand.
I didn't know what it was used for, I just knew it had power. Until I found out you were collecting this thing in the palace."
Yun Guiyue narrowed her eyes slightly. Does this mean that everything she did in the palace before was seen by this guard, or was he using his mental power to detect her?
She actually... didn't notice it from beginning to end.
Yun Guiyue retracted the abnormality in her eyes and said, "No problem, I will fulfill your wish. I just hope you can keep your promise when the time comes."
"That's natural."
The guard answered without hesitation, and as he watched Yun Guiyue and the other person leave, a look of abnormality flashed in his eyes for a moment.
Jun Xuanche turned around and met the guard's gaze. The guard instantly withdrew his gaze, then jumped back into the well.
Move hurriedly.
Jun Xuanche curled his lips. The ghost was still a ghost after all. If he really wanted to see the result, he would be disappointed. A Yue was not as simple as he thought.
Yun Guiyue walked to the outside of the queen's bedroom, and before he got close, he felt a dangerous aura.
