saint of humanity

Chapter 2212 Youdie
He passed the imperial examination with a golden medal, was ranked third in the imperial examination, and entered the palace to meet the emperor. His fluent response attracted the attention of many dignitaries.

He was favored by Prime Minister Qin of the current dynasty and entered the Prime Minister's residence, where he met Qin Yu, the second daughter of the Qin family. He was attracted by her talent and fell in love with her at first sight. He showed his affection to her many times, but was rejected every time.

After staying in Beijing for several months, I was finally able to return home in glory.

However, just as he was about to embark on his journey home, someone from the Prime Minister's residence came to call him. Lu Ye didn't understand why, but since it was the Prime Minister who summoned him, he could not refuse.

He walked into the mansion leisurely and was led by servants to a courtyard.

When he looked up, he did not see Prime Minister Qin, but instead, Qin Yu, the second young lady of the Qin family, was sitting on an armchair, looking at him with her beautiful eyes.

Lu Ye had been avoiding this woman these days. When he saw this scene, he immediately knew that the person who called him over was not the Prime Minister, but the Second Miss.

When she turned around and was about to leave, a familiar voice suddenly came into her ears: "Husband?"

Lu Ye stopped immediately and when he looked back, the face he had missed for many days came into his sight.

"Xiao Die?" Lu Ye was extremely surprised. He never expected that she would appear in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and at this moment she was standing not far from Qin Yu.

He was vaguely aware of something, his face changed slightly, and he hurried towards Youdie.

Two figures walked out from the side and blocked his way. They were the guards of the Qin Mansion.

Lu Ye looked at Qin Yu and said, "Second Miss, what do you mean?"

Qin Yu still smiled: "Nothing, I've been hearing you say you're married, I was just curious, so I brought you here so you can be reunited."

Lu Ye calmed down and said, "Thank you for your kindness, Miss Second. I am grateful." He then waved to Youdie who was standing beside her, "Xiaodie, come here."

Xiaodie took a step forward but was stopped by the Qin Mansion guards.

There was a look of panic on her face. As a country woman, she had never seen such a scene before.

Qin Yu clicked her tongue and said, "No wonder the third place winner can't stop thinking about her. It turns out she was born with a good-looking appearance." As she spoke, she stood up, walked to Youdie, raised her hand and pinched her chin, looking at her carefully as if she was examining a piece of merchandise.

"The Second Miss." Lu Ye's heart sank. During his time in Beijing, he had heard a lot about the Second Miss of the Qin family. Although she was a woman, she often did some vicious things. Today, she brought Youdie from thousands of miles away without even saying hello. In addition, he had repeatedly rejected her advances before, and he was afraid that she had already developed a desire for revenge.

"What are you nervous about?" Qin Yu tilted her head to look at her, her pretty face oozing with coldness. She gently slid a few fingers across Youdie's face and said in a teasing tone, "The third place winner is indeed a lovesick man. It seems that I like you even more."

Lu Ye bowed his head and said, "Please forgive me, Second Miss. I am of humble origins, but Second Miss is the daughter of the Prime Minister. I dare not marry into this class."

Qin Yu blinked her eyes and said, "If I like you, then I'm not marrying above my station. How about it? My previous proposal is still valid. You just need to marry into the Xiangfu Mansion, and you will have wealth and glory in the future."

Lu Ye remained silent.

Beside Qin Yu, Xiaodie looked astonished and finally understood why she was here.

"If you don't accept my toast, then you'll have to drink a penalty!" Seeing Lu Ye like this, Qin Yu snorted coldly and raised his hand to pull out a dagger from his waist.

She held the dagger in one hand and pinched Youdie's chin with the other. She tilted her head slightly with a sinister expression: "I just don't know if the third place winner will still like me after my face is disfigured!"

Youdie's eyes widened and she wanted to struggle, but she was held down by two burly guards on both sides. How could she move?
Lu Ye was also panicked and shouted, "Second Miss, don't do it!"

"You said no, but I want it!" As the second daughter of the Xiangfu, when had she ever been disobeyed? But this Lu Ye, she had been ignored after showing her kindness many times, which had already made her angry. She did appreciate Lu Ye's talent, but so what? What she couldn't get, no one else could get.

Amid Xiaodie's struggle and Lu Ye's screams, the sharp dagger pierced her pretty face and cut her fiercely.

Screams sounded.

Lu Ye felt as if he was struck by lightning.

Only Qin Yu laughed wildly like a madman, raised the dagger again, and left a deep mark on the other cheek, destroying that perfect beauty.

"I agreed, I agreed!" Lu Ye's heart was broken, and vague pictures inexplicably emerged in his mind. One of the scenes was that familiar body lying on him and slowly getting cold. He was unwilling but helpless.

Just like this moment!

There is another scene of glaring red in the white.

"I promise, Miss Second, please show mercy!" he shouted.

Qin Yu sneered: "No need."

He dropped the bloodstained dagger in his hand and said to the two guards holding Youdie, "I leave her to you."

The two burly guards raised their eyebrows and said with a chuckle, "Thank you, Miss!"

Having said this, he dragged Youdie towards the side room.

Lu Ye was icy cold all over and screamed for mercy, but it was of no use. The two guards beside him, under Qin Yu's instructions, beat him to the ground and kicked and punched him.

My whole body ached, but it was not as painful as my heartbreak. I could hear Xiaodie crying in the room next to me, but it stopped abruptly the next moment...

Lu Ye was stunned, and the two blurry scenes just now surged in his mind again.

He didn't know where he got the strength from, but he rolled into the room and saw the two guards standing by the bed, looking disappointed.

Xiaodie lay limply on the messy bed, her clothes still intact but with blood at the corners of her mouth.

Lu Ye rushed forward, hugged her body, and tremblingly touched her nose. After a moment, a low whimper sounded.

Qin Yu also walked in. He saw at a glance that Youdie had bitten her tongue to commit suicide. He snorted coldly, "You got it for free!"

He turned around and walked out, leaving a cold remark: "Beat him up and throw him out!"

So what if he is the third place in the imperial examination? He doesn't know how to appreciate others' kindness. He can beat or kill anyone he wants.

It was unknown what kind of stimulation the scholar encountered, but he went crazy overnight. From then on, a beggar with disheveled hair and ragged clothes appeared in the prosperous capital.

In the cold winter, someone found a body buried in the snow on the side of the street. The man was curled up there with his hands clasped together, as if he was guarding something.

It was like reincarnation. Every time Lu Ye reincarnated, he couldn't remember too many things. Only some vague pictures often emerged involuntarily from his mind. Reincarnation after reincarnation, separation of life and death after separation, different worlds, different environments. The only thing that was the same was that Youdie lost her life because of him.

Another reincarnation.

Under the arc moon, on the tip of the sword.

Two figures, one black and one white, stood side by side. The one in black had sword-like eyebrows and star-like eyes, holding a long sword in his hand, while the one in white was beautiful and held a long sword upside down.

Countless figures gathered from all directions.

Someone shouted angrily: "Youdie, you come from a righteous family, how dare you get involved with this evil guy? Don't you know what he has done over the years?"

Youdie, holding a long sword, said calmly: "It is precisely because I know what he has done over the years that I can see through the hypocrisy of you people!"

The so-called devil was nothing but a frame-up by some treacherous villains. The two childhood sweethearts knew each other very well.

"Youdie, don't be stubborn. Today, we, the righteous people, have gathered here. The devil will surely die. Don't make the mistake of putting yourself in the wrong place."

"Youdie, wake up! He is the devil who has brought disaster to the world and disturbed the people. Please do not tarnish the reputation of our sect any further."

"Master's reputation?" Youdie looked at the person who was speaking with cold eyes, and found that it was a senior uncle of her own master's sect. He usually looked righteous, but in fact he was full of thieves and prostitutes. She immediately showed disgust on her face: "Such a master, such a righteous path... It's better not to have it!"

"Youdie, you disappoint me so much." The uncle shook his head and sighed, "In that case, from today on, you are no longer a disciple of our sect."

"What are you talking about?" Lu Ye, who had been standing next to Youdie, shouted impatiently, "After all, we still have to fight, so stop talking nonsense and attack together. Let's see who is more powerful, you hypocritical righteous people or me, the devil of troubled times!"

"Shuzi is rampant!"

"Go together!"

Figures were flying around, swords were flashing, screams were heard, and corpses fell in a pool of blood.

The besieging crowd moved up and down, with black and white figures dancing and tumbling among them.

It was an extremely fierce battle, with eight out of ten besiegers killed or wounded, and the rest fled in panic.

Holding the bloodstained long knife, Lu Ye laughed loudly: "What a bunch of clowns, call more people over next time, otherwise there won't be enough for your grandfather to kill."

He turned to look at Youdie beside him: "He is no match at all."

The beautiful woman who was cold and noble in front of others now looked like a girl next door, with an admiring look in her eyes: "Brother Ye is so awesome!"

"Let's go." Lu Ye sheathed his knife and called out.

He walked forward, but after a few steps, he suddenly turned around and asked, "What's wrong?"

Youdie was still standing there, smiling at him, and said softly: "Brother Ye, you must be more careful next time."

The high-spirited look on Lu Ye's face disappeared, and his expression became stern: "Xiao Die?"

Youdie shook her head slowly: "Brother Ye, you go first, I will come to you soon."

After he finished speaking, his body suddenly went limp and he fell backwards.

Lu Ye's face changed, he hurried forward, raised his hand to hold her soft body, but it was wet and sticky when he touched it.

When I pulled my hand out, I saw a blinding red that made me dizzy.

He quickly leaned over to look behind Youdie, and saw that a dagger had been inserted into her back at some point.

"Xiaodie!" Lu Ye felt the hot blood in his chest turn cold, the joy of victory just now disappeared in an instant, and his voice trembled.

Although he only took a glance, he could see that the injury was fatal.

Xiaodie never showed any sign of it, which made me hate myself for not even noticing it before.

Xiaodie's face turned extremely pale. She raised her hand and touched his cheek. There was infinite nostalgia and reluctance in her eyes. She gasped and said, "Brother Ye, Xiaodie can't accompany you anymore. You must be well."
