Chapter 14 - Lord Ye, You Are Mighty!
For his death, someone, namely Ye Ning, should bear full responsibility.
But Ye Ning didn’t want to take responsibility at all.
He only felt endless sadness.
If he could, he really wanted to rush over and shout at He Yuan. “Get up, come on, get up and kill me!”
But obviously, this was not possible.
The person was already dead.
Doing so would undoubtedly be inhumane.
So, he could only stay where he was, feeling extremely confused inside.
“It turns out, dying isn’t that easy.”
While Ye Ning was still immersed in the grief of not dying, others were plunged into fear.
The reason for their fear was simple.
The true immortal from the Feather Transformation Sect died openly in the court.
“This is going to be big!”
The Feather Transformation Sect would definitely not let this go!
Everyone was clear about this.
“Lord Ye… I admire you!”
Cao Meng wanted to say something, but he was speechless. In the end, he just bowed and left.
He really had a limited vocabulary.
If it were a modern internet user, they would surely say, “Damn, brother, you’re awesome! You actually killed an immortal like that!”
The other kings, after giving Ye Ning a complicated look, also left.
This man was finished.
With such a blatant display of strength, and causing the death of He Yuan, the Immortal Sect would definitely not spare him.
If they were smart, they wouldn’t want to have anything to do with Ye Ning.
The other civil and military officials, however, were not so carefree. They didn’t dare to leave easily until Ji Mingyue announced the end of the court session.
But most of them were eager to avoid any association with Ye Ning!
Although Ye Ning’s previous actions had made them feel ashamed and touched, briefly arousing their passion, people eventually calm down.
After calming down, they weighed the pros and cons and realized they couldn’t have any involvement with Ye Ning.
Even if you, surnamed Ye, are not afraid of death and possess the demeanor of the sages of old, I admire you, but it doesn’t mean I want to die with you.
Only a very small number of people, awakened by Ye Ning’s actions nad secretly regarded him as a beacon, were willing to move forward with him.
“Lord Ye, rest assured! With me here, the Immortal Sect will not easily plot against you!”
Ji Mingyue was also quite troubled.
He just wanted to protect Ye Ning, but he never thought of trying to kill He Yuan.
With He Yuan’s death, things were a bit out of control.
But he had the courage.
Since he had decided to protect a loyal subject like Ye Ning, he would protect him to the end!
“Your Majesty doesn’t have to bother with me…” Ye Ning shuddered.
He was filled with resentment.
Is this incompetent ruler sick? How could he want to save my life!
“No, you are an unparalleled national scholar, inheriting the spirit of the sages… If you don’t let me down, I won’t let you down!” Ji Mingyue was sincere and passionate.
“…” Ye Ning was speechless.
He rubbed his temples and walked out.
He wanted some peace and quiet.
There had been too much happening today, and he needed to summarize why he hadn’t died yet.
Whose fault was it?
He spent three hours in the hall.
Half the time was used to understand his physical condition.
Firstly, the literary energy infusion had indeed propelled him to great heights.
From a weak scholar, he suddenly had considerable power.
If the holy court hadn’t been suppressed and Confucianism hadn’t declined, his achievements would have been much greater.
The excess literary energy didn’t dissipate but accumulated in Ye Ning’s body. In the future, there would be times when it would come in handy.
For Ye Ning, this was all like a time bomb.
If possible, he really wanted his literary energy to be wasted.
But it wasn’t possible.
As such, he felt very melancholic.
“Now it’s even harder for me to die…” He sighed repeatedly.
The other half of the time, Ye Ning spent contemplating.
He reviewed the entire event, trying to understand why he hadn’t died.
Were the civil and military officials too weak?
Was Cao Meng too eccentric?
Was Ji Mingyue too meddlesome?
Was He Yuan too incompetent?
It seemed like all of them could be blamed, but it also seemed like they had nothing to do with him.
“In the end, can I blame myself?”
Ye Ning shook his head.
He came to a conclusion.
It was just a coincidence.
He didn’t know them well enough, and after just transmigrating, he was too confident.
Not dying might have just been a stroke of bad luck.
Surely luck couldn’t be bad forever?
After all, seeking death wasn’t such a difficult thing.
“Life goes on, the quest for death continues!”
Ye Ning took a deep breath.
He walked out of the hall.
Liu Jin had been guarding for three hours, standing all the time. His physical strength was waning, but he gritted his teeth and persisted.
There was no reluctance at all. Instead, there was pride on his face.
“You’ve been here the whole time?”
Ye Ning, being a modern person, wasn’t used to the style of ancient people. Seeing Liujin guarding like this, he was somewhat touched.
“Being able to guard the door for Lord Ye is this humble eunuch’s honor!” Liu Jin grinned.
Ye Ning patted his shoulder.
He sighed inwardly.
I never wanted to be a hero in the first place.
But he didn’t say it out loud.
He followed Liu Jin and walked to the palace gate.
It was getting late, and outsiders couldn’t stay in the palace overnight. That was the rule.
Ye Ning had no intention of staying in the palace anyway.
“Take care, Lord Ye.” Liu Jin bowed.
Ye Ning waved his hand and stepped out of the palace gate.
However, he didn’t notice the respectful and admiring gazes of the palace guards.
Stepping out of the palace gate and taking a few steps forward, Ye Ning froze.
He didn’t know when, but outside, there were densely packed groups of scholars.
As far as the eye could see, there was no end in sight.
When the scholars saw Ye Ning, their eyes showed fanaticism, and they all bowed down.
“Scolding the Immortal Sect, serving the king, being sincere and true, worthy of being a gentleman from the ancient times… Lord Ye, you are mighty!”
The voices of the scholars were like thunderous waves, surging forth.
For a moment, Ye Ning stood there dumbfounded.
It felt like something was blocking his heart.
