Chapter 276: 277

Early Graying Hair (1)

His voice had gone completely silent near the end. His entire upper body collapsed onto Ye Mu’s figure. Although she already regained her ability to move, at that moment she remained frozen.

“…still friends… We will always still be friends!”

Tragically, however, the Silent Monk was already deaf to her words. But Ye Mu was certain that his heart already knew the answer to his question.

Once Ye Mu exited the chamber, she carried him in her arms. The man was now a withered, dried-up corpse with his shriveled hand dangling in the air; it was an unsettling appearance. The others wanted to take a peek at his face, but it had already been covered with a cloth by Ye Mu. Evidently, everyone knew who he was based on the prisoner outfit he wore.

Mo Linyuan saw how rational Ye Mu was and was deeply relieved. However, glancing at the monk’s body cradled in her arms along with her swollen eyes, clearly puffy from crying… he could have already guessed what happened.

Consequently, Mo Linyuan didn’t say anything in the end. He didn’t stop her… Letting Ye Mu personally start a fire… Letting Ye Mu place the Silent Master next to the lantern and blue cloth on top… In the end, Ye Mu didn’t remove the cloth from his face. She didn’t glance at his face even once.

Although the monk thought he was ugly now, Ye Mu would never forget when she first saw him: his pure appearance, his sharp brows, and his clear pupils that held a certain glamor that left all who witnessed him stunned by his beauty.

The fire grew high, reaching towards the sky. Within the court palace, she incinerated the body in front of everyone.

People of ancient times preferred to bury the dead. On the contrary, Ye Mu felt that cremation would permit the soul and spirit to travel more rapidly to the afterlife.

After the Silent Monk’s death, Mo Linyuan accompanied Ye Mu to find Zhao Yiqin.

At that time, Zhao Yiqin was in a bad mood. She had been imprisoned by the emperor under the charge of causing an uprising in court. And when the Silent Master was taken away she became even more anxious.

That’s why when she saw Ye Mu, her first words were, “Where’s the Silent Master? What did you do to him?!”

Ye Mu was the only one that entered. Her eyes were swollen red but she had calmed down significantly.

“He’s dead.”

With her one phrase, Zhao Yiqin collapsed instantly!

Her first instinct was to pull her hair out, but instead, she grabbed angrily onto a supportive railing as she glared at Ye Mu.

“It was you wasn’t it?! You killed him! You hate him for hurting you, so you killed him!”

“That’s correct.” Ye Mu was watching her from outside the doors of the prison, “He died for that reason. His death… had nothing to do with you…”

Zhao Yiqin instantly understood the underpinnings of Ye Mu’s words. Her eyes brimmed with incessant remorseful tears, while her voice cracked as she stumbled over her words,

“It was me…I’ve killed him… Jun’er… Jun’er!”

She knew the unrest in his heart. For all these years, she never took the initiative to reassure him. She knew that he didn’t want to be a monk since he was a child. Yet to preserve her own status, she never explicitly said anything to allow him otherwise. She was unwilling to let him leave her side and become a commoner, so she tied him to the Tianshou temple…

It was her… she killed him!

Ye Mu could see how she was slowly losing her mind. Pursing her lips, she said bluntly,

“The Silent Master shouldn’t have died, but he did. I would say he probably wanted to use his death in exchange for your life…”

This was just something Ye Mu thought up on the spot. The Silent monk was a smart guy, how could he have not known that Ye Mu never actually blamed him? But he still died… What’s more, he died in such a way where on one end, he did the best for Ye Mu, and on the other end, he also hoped she understood his desire to let Zhao Yiqin live…

This was all due to the sole fact that the Silent Monk knew that, in this situation, the only one who could save Zhao Yiqin was Ye Mu.
