Chapter 383: 383 his life is not so easy to take away Chapter 383: 383 his life is not so easy to take away Dozens of corpses had their heads chopped off, some not yet fully dead, spurting blood everywhere as their heads were severed, then wrapped carelessly in a piece of black cloth and hung on the rear of a horse.
Ye Wenzheng swallowed hard, realizing for the first time that human life was worth so little.
In the distance, a similarly black-clad masked figure stood atop a bamboo tip, expressionlessly watching the bloody scene below. The transparent porcelain bottle in their hand suddenly stirred, and the masked figure discreetly covered it with the sleeve before quickly departing with a light tap of their toe.
Below, Sikong Mo seemed to sense something, looking in the direction the masked person had left. He lightly touched his chest, suppressing that bit of restlessness.
Ye Jiu turned her head and caught Sikong Mo’s deeply furrowed brow.
Then, her gaze shifted to the chest that Sikong Mo was covering. Suddenly, she remembered the day he lay on the ground, it seemed as if something was wriggling around in his chest.
Suddenly, Ye Jiu felt fear.
“Are you… are you alright?” Ye Jiu was concerned that Sikong Mo might suddenly fall ill.
Furthermore, thinking about the close contact she had with him and the fact that there were foreign objects inside his body, she suddenly feared that those things might transfer into her own body.
“No,” Sikong Mo lowered his palm, and the anomaly at his chest calmed down a lot.
“That… I gave you medicine last time, if you feel uncomfortable, you must take it immediately. Although those medicines can’t cure your illness, they can suppress it,” Ye Jiu advised, then comforted, “Moreover, I’ve been trying to find a complete cure for you. Although there’s none yet, I have asked someone from a much more advanced world to help develop an antidote for you, and I’m sure it will cure you.”
“Ha!” Sikong Mo laughed, reassured, “Don’t worry, I’m fine for now.”
His life was not so easily taken by others.
Yet, the feeling of someone caring for him in this way was an unfamiliar sweetness he had never experienced!
Si Nan and the others caught up quickly, but Ye Jiu noticed that Ye Wenzheng’s complexion was exceptionally pale.
Out of concern, Ye Jiu asked, “Wenzheng, are you alright?”
“No…” Ye Wenzheng’s voice was still trembling.
Ye Jiu thought that Ye Wenzheng was scared by witnessing a murder for the first time.
But it turned out that he was indeed scared, not only by the murder scene but also by the vicious way they were harvesting heads, all of which left a deep and fearful impression in his mind.
“Can you still walk? If not, you should ask the Prince to find someone to accompany you,” As a commoner suddenly witnessing such a scene, Ye Jiu understood Ye Wenzheng’s feelings at that moment.
Yet, Ye Wenzheng pretended to be strong, “No… no need, I can manage.”
Sikong Mo did not give Ye Jiu another chance to speak and rode ahead at the front on his horse.
Behind them, Si Nan glanced at Ye Wenzheng and said, “Miss Ye is destined to be extraordinary. If you want to stay by her side, you must strive to improve yourself.”
Having just witnessed Si Nan’s brutality, Ye Wenzheng was still somewhat afraid, so he kept his head down and did not reply, but he dared not retort either.
Si Nan added, “Think about it properly. When you’re sure, you can come to find me.”
Were it not for the Prince’s direct orders to take care of this young man, Si Nan would not be bothered with him, a mere country bumpkin!
Nearing the capital city, Sikong Mo said, “I have a residence in the capital city. You should settle in the Royal Residence for now, and tomorrow, I will have Si Nan arrange for someone to take you to find your elder brother.”
