Impossible!
He didn't believe it!
Completely didn't believe it!
Clearly, clearly his enemy was the Night King, how could he not be the Night King?
It was as if a truth had been brutally torn open, exposing its most cruel side directly before him, forcing him to face it, forcing him to watch this tragedy unfold.
Just like him now, pitiable, regrettable, hateful!
Bai Chun's eyes turned blood red, as if the tears that would flow out next would be tears of blood.
Yun Shu was not a particularly sentimental person, nor did she think of herself as having a motherly heart, but at this moment, seeing the deranged Bai Chun, unable to accept the truth, she felt a little pity for him.
Years of time, so easily manipulated, and utterly wasted.
When faced with the truth, it must be heart-wrenching.
"No, impossible, absolutely impossible, how could it be..." Bai Chun was still deceiving himself with his words.
But his bloodless face betrayed his inner turmoil.
Zhan Tian Ye remained expressionless throughout, only asking, "Do you remember the appearance of the one who used you?"
Someone could hide so deeply, someone who took him by surprise.
Perhaps this person would be even harder to deal with than Zhan Ming, who was in the open.
Xie Jin also composed himself, saying solemnly, "As long as you tell us who is behind this, anything about him, and you can leave the Night King's mansion safely. I guarantee that your life will not be harmed!"
For a captive, freedom was more important than anything.
However, Bai Chun, having suffered a great blow, seemed not to hear Xie Jin's words.
He just stared blankly at Xie Jin, then at Zhan Tian Ye, "The Night King is not my enemy, how could the Night King not be my enemy? How could the Night King not be my enemy! For years, I hated the Night King day and night, I wanted to kill the Night King day and night, even at the cost of... at the cost of becoming neither human nor ghost, and in the end, my enemy is not the Night King..."
"My enemy is someone else!"
"Who is my enemy?"
An answer had already appeared before Bai Chun.
The one who told him his enemy was the Night King!
The one who made him become neither human nor ghost step by step over the years!
The one who claimed to help him get revenge!
At this moment, the blood in his body had turned cold. This was the truth! This was the real truth! He had been used by his enemy for so many years.
Seeing Bai Chun become deranged and not say anything useful, Xie Jin began to lose patience. In his opinion, someone who could be so thoroughly manipulated, willingly becoming a pawn, was somewhat deserving of his misfortune.
Moreover, a man who stood tall and upright, struck by such a truth and becoming lost and foolish, had too weak a resilience!
"You are not dead yet, it is not too late to know the truth, you still have a chance for revenge. However, if you continue to be foolish and can't calm down, you will easily be used as a pawn again," Xie Jin finally felt some pity for Bai Chun and offered a kind reminder.
If Bai Chun could heed his words, it would be good for Bai Chun.
If not, it would mean the complete ruin of the Bai family's fate.
Bai Chun slowly came back to his senses.
His face was still terrifyingly pale.
He looked at Xie Jin and only said two words, "Thank you."
Then he said to Zhan Tian Ye, "I apologize, Night King. Regardless of what happened these past two days, it was my fault! Do as you please, whether to kill or to dismember me."
Then, his gaze immediately shifted to Yun Shu.
If he could kneel, he would have done so now.
He knew very well that the one who could truly help him and give him another chance was this woman before him!
Only her!
Yun Shu was a little surprised. Why was Bai Chun suddenly looking at her?
The next moment.
Bai Chun looked at Yun Shu with great respect and pleaded, "Please save me, Second Miss Yun! For the life-saving grace, I will serve you like an ox or a horse for the rest of my life!"
Yun Shu was even more surprised. The fact that she knew medicine should not have spread throughout the capital yet. Although Zhan Ming saw her treating Zhan Tian Hong in the palace before, it had only happened these past few days, and the news hadn't spread in the capital.
How did he know she knew medicine?
As she was guessing, Bai Chun continued, "I guessed! Second Miss Yun ordered someone to give me a pill that made me speak the truth, and it could quickly find the vital points of the living dead. Unless one had profound medical skills, it would be impossible to subdue a living dead so quickly! Second Miss Yun can subdue a living dead, so you must have a way to save me! Second Miss Yun, I know this request is very abrupt, and may even put you in a difficult position, but..."
"But... I cannot die now. I must avenge my more than a hundred clansmen of the Bai family! I must make my true enemy pay the price! As long as Second Miss Yun saves me, I am willing to be your ox or horse!"
These words truly shocked Yun Shu.
She hadn't expected Bai Chun to remain so calm despite the severe blow he had suffered!
It surprised her, and that he could quickly secure a hope of survival for himself made her look at Bai Chun with some admiration.
Such a clever person, if not for his weakness being exploited by others, should not have been so thoroughly manipulated.
"You should be thinking about getting out of the Night King's mansion now, shouldn't you? If you don't get out, how will you find your enemy for revenge?" Xie Jin reminded him somewhat speechlessly.
It was as if everything he had just said had been ignored.
Wouldn't it be more effective to beg him and the Night King?
Why beg Yun Shu?
Could it be that Bai Chun was seriously ill?
Looking at Bai Chun's emaciated figure, thinner than a woman's, Xie Jin felt he had found the truth.
"I have the mother蠱 on me. Those living dead died in the fire. I can only live for three more days at most!" Bai Chun said, his face deathly pale, stating his condition truthfully.
Then he continued, "The one who used me has been wearing a mask for years. He said his face was severely burned by fire before, extremely ugly, and he didn't want to show it to anyone! So, I don't know his appearance, but I remember his voice! As long as I am alive, as long as I am in the capital, there will definitely be a chance to see him! He painstakingly tried to kill the Night King, so he will definitely come to the capital! I must wait for him in the capital, I must get revenge! I absolutely cannot let my Bai family clansmen die with their grievances unaddressed! And I, I also cannot die with my grievances unaddressed!"
"What? He's hidden so deeply?" Xie Jin frowned, this was troublesome.
He looked at Zhan Tian Ye.
Zhan Tian Ye's eyes were deep.
An enemy hidden in the dark could bring unimaginable danger and trouble.
Bai Chun then looked at Yun Shu, who had been silent.
