Chapter 286 Young Man on a White Horse Drunk in the Spring Breeze 61
As for Yueyao, who was brought back to Tianqi City by Xiao Ruofeng, her situation was quite different and bleak.
As soon as she arrived in the capital, Princess Beique was detained by the Dali Temple and placed under strict surveillance, losing her former freedom and glory.
Although Baili Dongjun was almost driven to depression by Xiao Ruojin's scolding last time, which made him waver in this relationship and his love for her diminish slightly.
But seeing Yueyao's suffering, he couldn't bear it. After pleading with his grandfather and father to no avail, a rebellious feeling arose in his heart, and the love that had faded before burned brightly again.
Especially after he saw Ye Yun, who had turned misfortune into good fortune and returned safely, the last bit of distance between him and Yue Yao disappeared.
In a moment of impulsiveness, he even considered breaking into Dali Temple, but fortunately Ye Yun stopped him, earnestly advising, "Dongjun, calm down. We need to consider Yueyao's matter carefully. Acting rashly will only backfire."
Baili Dongjun said angrily, "Today I am just like you and Miss Yi back then. I don't expect you to help me, but I only ask that you don't stop me."
Ye Yun was not angry when he heard this. Instead, he patiently said, "I am different from you. I was all alone back then. If I failed, I would only die. But you are different. You have a grandfather and parents. If you really go to Dali Temple to break into the prison, no matter whether you succeed in the end, it will be a crime that will lead to the execution of your entire family."
These words were like a wake-up call, instantly calming Baili Dongjun down.
He certainly couldn't act impulsively and implicate his family, but giving up Yueyao was even more impossible for him.
"Brother Yun, then tell me, how can I rescue Yueyao?" Baili Dongjun looked at Ye Yun helplessly, and the latter could only sigh helplessly.
On that day, Yue Fengcheng was injured and his internal energy went out of control. Ye Yun seized the opportunity and directly absorbed all of Yue Fengcheng's eight layers of illusory energy, causing the seriously injured Yue Fengcheng to die on the spot.
Yueqing, wanting to avenge her father, attempted to kill Ye Yun with her sword but was instead injured by Ye Yun's still-unstable internal energy. After escaping the cave, she was killed by the people brought by Lei Mengsha.
Afterwards, Ye Yun joined forces with Lei Mengsha to kill all the high-ranking members of Tianwaitian. The remaining lower-level people still resisted stubbornly and refused to surrender. In the end, Lei Mengsha had no choice but to contact the border army to completely eliminate them.
The Northern Kingdom is different from other countries. Although its population is small, everyone practices martial arts and their cultivation levels are not low. If we are too soft-hearted and let them go, there will surely be endless troubles in the future.
It can be said that Yueyao's father, sister, and people all died at the hands of Ye Yun and Lei Meng, making them mortal enemies.
However, Ye Yun truly regarded Baili Dongjun as a good brother, and after careful consideration, he brought him to Xiao Ruofeng.
At that time, Xiao Ruofeng was busy dealing with a lot of government affairs assigned by his elder brother. He was so busy that he was overwhelmed. When he learned the purpose of their visit, he suddenly felt a toothache.
Xiao Ruofeng looked at Baili Dongjun, his tone tinged with helplessness: "Dongjun, I thought that after my brother said so much to you last time, you would have changed, but I didn't expect you to still be so stubborn."
"Junior brother, only you can help me now," Baili Dongjun pleaded. "I can't just stand by and watch Yueyao die."
Xiao Ruofeng sighed, put down his pen, stood up and walked to him, sighing, "You want to save her, but have you ever considered whether she wants you to save her?"
"What...what do you mean?" Baili Dongjun was stunned for a moment, somewhat puzzled, but the Undying Dust in his hand silently drooped down.
Yueyao and Baili Dongjun are separated by national and personal hatred. Although the destruction of Tianwaitian was not directly related to Baili Dongjun, the person who went to eliminate Tianwaitian was his close friend and senior brother. How could Yueyao not be angry at all?
Bei Li first destroyed Bei Que, and now he has also eliminated Tian Wai Tian.
How could she accept the fact that her father, sister, and people were all dead, and instead choose to live happily ever after with the young master of the Marquis of Beili Town?
"Fine! I'll take you to see her, and then you'll understand what I mean."
Seeing that Baili Dongjun was still unwilling to give up, Xiao Ruofeng decided to take him to Dali Temple.
When the officials of the Dali Temple saw that the Prince of Langya had come in person, they dared not be negligent and led the three of them directly to the cell where Yueyao was being held.
At this moment, Yueyao was leaning against the wall in a daze, her eyes devoid of their former brilliance. Her once beautiful and ethereal appearance had become haggard, and even the black hair on her head had turned gray after hearing the news of the destruction of Tianwaitian.
"Yueyao?" Baili Dongjun looked at the person in the cell in disbelief, unable to believe that the haggard-looking person in front of him was Yueyao.
They arrived in Tianqi City together, and they've only been separated for a few days. How could Yueyao have become like this?
Hearing the call, Yueyao turned her head numbly, but when her eyes fell on Ye Yun behind Baili Dongjun, her expression suddenly turned frenzied: "It's you! Ye Dingzhi! You're the one who killed my father, my sister, and everyone in Tianwaitian. I want revenge! I want to kill you!"
"Why did you kill my sister? She was so young, and she hadn't done anything wrong. Why did you kill her?" Yueyao shouted hoarsely, tears and anger streaming down her face.
"why?"
Yueyao kept repeating this question, as if trying to find an answer to soothe the pain in her heart.
"Yueyao, please don't do this."
Baili Dongjun felt a pang of heartache and quickly stepped forward to support Yueyao, trying to calm her agitated emotions.
However, Yueyao's emotions remained unsettled. She struggled to rush towards Ye Yun, but was held tightly by Baili Dongjun. Her body trembled violently, her eyes filled with anger and despair.
In fact, if Yueqing were still alive, Yueyao might not have broken down like this.
Although Yue Fengcheng is Yue Yao's father, their father-daughter relationship is not deep.
Before the fall of Beique, Yuefeng City was preoccupied with the affairs of the world; after the fall of Beique, he was single-mindedly focused on restoring the country, and even went into seclusion in Langyue Blessed Land to cultivate.
For the past ten years, he has barely spoken to his two daughters. As a result, there is not much deep affection between father and daughters, apart from their blood ties.
While the deaths of the Northern Que survivors caused Yueyao great pain, it was the passing of her younger sister, Yueqing, that truly broke her.
The two sisters lost their mother at a young age, and their father neglected them, leaving them to depend on each other for survival.
As the older sister, Yueyao always stood in front of her younger sister, protecting her from the wind and rain.
If she could, she would even give her own life to save her sister.
Therefore, upon learning of her sister's death, her anger and despair reached their peak.
