Chapter 347 He didn’t want to put Wen Xingluo’s safety in the hands of others
All the past events came to mind.
Xie Zhe seemed to see his former self.
His mother died early and his father remarried. The years of his childhood were always shrouded in a gray haze, like a midsummer rain that he walked through alone - it was so hot and humid, and the air was filled with the smell of moldy food. He walked through the rain in old wooden clogs. The streets were dark, and the doors and windows on both sides were closed. Only the dark moss covering the blue bricks accompanied him through the rain.
Later, he went to the capital.
His youth and strong self-esteem made him feel that everyone looked down on him.
In his eyes, the Crown Prince's friendship was a charity from his superiors.
In his eyes, the princess's admiration was the girl's deliberate display of her pampered innocence.
The boy's mind was dark, like the moss climbing and struggling in the cracks between bricks and at the base of the wall.
Want to stand up.
I want to make all those who look down on me crawl at my feet.
So he worked hard and took every step carefully. He betrayed his fiancée and his king, killed his father and mother, and slaughtered his brothers and sisters. Only then did he finally struggle out of the predicament and the mud, and finally climbed to that position step by step.
He, Xie Zhe, is a well-deserved favored child of heaven!
But why...
Why now...
Xie Zhe looked at the white hair in his palms, his hands trembling slightly.
It shouldn't be like this.
He Xie Zhe, became famous at a young age, and had a brilliant life.
He was a great hero, he didn't deserve such an ending.
He suddenly clutched his head and let out a deafening cry of pain.
Everyone quickly covered their ears, and when they looked at him again, they saw him take out a handful of pills from somewhere and stuffed them all into his mouth.
Xie Guanlan's eyes suddenly changed.
I wanted to step forward to stop him, but as soon as he stood up, he knelt on one knee, covering his wound, blood gushing out, and he had lost the ability to move.
The pill sank into his lungs.
Xie Zhe's broken and old body suddenly regained its youthfulness!
Even though he only recovered to the appearance of a 40-year-old, it was much better for him now than the wrinkled and gray-haired man he was before.
He looked at Xie Guanlan dangerously.
Xie Guanlan protected Wen Xingluo with one hand and picked up the knife on the ground with the other.
Xie Zhe was afraid to move them.
He glanced at the fighting outside Baiyujing and suddenly teleported in front of Wei Si.
He picked up Wei Si and rushed into the depths of the Baiyujing Palace.
It is said that Baiyujing hides the wealth of the world and the most precious treasures in the world.
Then, there should be some magical medicine in Baiyujing’s treasure house, right?
Perhaps he could find the rarest medicinal herbs here to alleviate his aging symptoms.
People are much more tenacious than they think. As long as they are immortal, there will always be a chance for them to make a comeback!
"mother!"
Wen Xingluo was shocked.
She wanted to chase him, but Xie Guanlan grabbed her wrist.
The young man frowned, "Danger!"
Wen Xingluo shook his head. "Haven't you figured it out yet? Those pills aren't any good stuff. They're not elixirs of immortality. They only accelerate aging. Xie Zhe ate so many in one go. He won't live much longer. I guess if I can just delay for another quarter of an hour, I can save my mother!"
Xie Guanlan leaned on the knife and refused to let go.
He was worried about Wen Xingluo going alone.
Two quarters of an hour may sound like a short period of time, but it was enough for her to die at Xie Zhe's hands.
"I'll go for you—"
He wanted to walk the last part of the journey for Wen Xingluo, but unfortunately he suffered severe internal injuries. Even after he staggered to his feet, he vomited a mouthful of blood.
Wen Xingluo raised her sleeve and wiped the blood from the corner of his lips. Her voice was very soft and gentle, "Brother Ziheng has walked a long way with me. I must walk this last part of the way alone..."
She handed Xie Guanlan over to Xie Shian.
"Cousin!" Wei Ying limped over, holding onto her sword. "I want to go too! I need to see him die with my own eyes before I can rest in peace!"
Wen Xingluo saw determination in her eyes.
After hesitating for a moment, she held Wei Ying's hand tightly.
The two girls followed Xie Zhe's trail and ran deep into Baiyujing.
Xie Guanlan coughed and tried to chase after her, "Ningning——"
"Xie Guanlan, stop moving. Let's go over and take a look." Mei Chuyi suddenly said.
The injuries she and Zhang Tingliu suffered were not fatal, and they have now recovered some strength.
Both of them knew very well that as long as Xie Zhe was alive, the Mei family and the children present, even Wen Rufeng, Wen Yueyin and others, would be killed.
Xie Zhe, he is simply a complete lunatic who only cares about himself!
Zhang Tingliu covered her face with her handkerchief and cried like a baby. She took a deep look at Wen Rufeng who was panicking and at a loss in the distance.
Although Wen Rufeng was not her favorite child, and although she had no mother-son relationship with Wen Rufeng, he was her last bloodline after all.
Zhang Tingliu choked up and said, "If I protect Wei Ning and Wei Ying, will the prince promise to spare Wen Rufeng's life?"
Xie Guanlan held the knife.
If he hadn't been seriously injured, he wouldn't want to put Wen Xingluo's safety in the hands of others.
He lowered his eyes and looked at Mei Chuyi and Zhang Tingliu. Somehow, he saw an inexplicable power in them.
Very gentle, yet very powerful.
Like...mother.
As if possessed by some unknown force, he said, "Yes."
Mei Chuyi and Zhang Tingliu chased into the depths of Baiyujing.
At this time, Xie Zhe had already brought Wei Si to the treasure house.
The treasury is used to store treasures, but for some reason, the huge treasury is now empty, with only the eternal lamp on the dome left.
Xie Zhe was stunned. "What's going on?"
Wei Si was also stunned.
She had been here when she was young, and she clearly remembered that there were countless treasures hidden here.
But now, there is not even a single silver ingot left here...
Xie Zhe was furious and suddenly grabbed Wei Si's neck, "Did you team up with the Zhenbei Palace to steal all the treasures in advance?!"
Wei Si struggled, "How...how is it possible..."
The veins on Xie Zhe's neck bulged.
Yeah, how is that possible.
This is Gyeonggi Province, his territory.
There is absolutely no way that the Zhenbei Palace could transport so many treasures under his nose!
He suddenly noticed a red lacquered desk placed in the middle of the treasure house.
On the desk, an ancient book was neatly placed.
His eyes lit up and he hurriedly dragged Wei Si and stumbled over.
He feared there might be a trap, so he ordered Wei Si, "Pick it up!"
Wei Si picked up the ancient book silently.
Xie Zhe couldn't wait to continue ordering, "Open it!"
Wei Si turned a page.
"Is it a martial arts manual?!" Xie Zhe asked ambitiously, "Or some other treasure map?! Did your father, before he died, order the treasures here to be moved somewhere else, leaving the map behind for future generations to find?!"
Wei Si flipped through the pages one by one without answering him.
A strange expression gradually appeared on that cold and beautiful face.
Xie Zhe frowned and asked, "Wei Si, I'm asking you a question!"
Wei Si raised her head from the book and looked at him with a hint of mockery and pity, "Neither."
The look in the woman's eyes made Xie Zhe feel deeply uneasy.
He snatched the ancient book away.
