Chapter 18: Sin

"Yes. โ€

"I see. I took the prayer in Steward Wu's hand and said, "Please hold the oil umbrella yourself." โ€

"I don't have an umbrella for me. Steward Wu put away the oil umbrella and set off on horseback.

"Xin'er......," I said, clenching my fists.

......

Wu's Tavern, the main hall on the second floor.

Tick โ€“ tick โ€“ tick โ€“

"Wu ...... Girl?"

"You're back. โ€

"There were a lot of accidents and delays. Where's Xin'er?"

She ...... She ......, "Wu Yun'er's words don't know when there are a little more vicissitudes.

"I'm sorry, Ling Mei's death was caused by me. I knelt down and said, "It's all my fault." โ€

"Yan Tianchen......" Wu Yun'er's whole body was swept by an inexplicable chill.

"Boy, what you said is not true at all?" Wu Mingkai slowly stood up from the side of the coffin.

"It's true, it's all true...... I admit it. My head drooped a little more, and I said, "I'm willing to accept any punishment." โ€

"I really didn't expect that you caused it?" Wu Mingkai picked up the prayer I put on the ground, and said in a big gesture, "Xin'er is so young, how can you bear to kill her...... Bastard!"

The sharp body of the sword reflected my entire head, which really shocked the body of those present. The sword light of prayer slid along the sword grid to the tip of the sword, sharp and piercing.

"Father, stop. Wu Yun'er grabbed Wu Mingkai's hand holding the sword and said, "If you really want to blame, it should be me." โ€

"Yun'er, don't intervene now. The black gas in this kid's body is extremely dangerous. Wu Mingkai struggled to break free of Wu Yun'er's slender hand.

Jingle Jingle โ€“

Wu Yun'er fell to the ground under force, and the bracelet made a crisp and bright bell sound.

"Boy, do you dare to take my sword with your head?" Wu Mingkai asked, raising his sword.

"Why don't you dare?"

"Pride deserves praise. Wu Mingkai's voice fell slightly, and the prayer hit me directly on the head.

"Wait!" a woman shouted just in time, and the blade of Qiyou's sword was barely an inch above my head.

"Mother, persuade my father. Wu Yun'er trotted to the woman's side.

"You're still so rude and rude. The woman sarcastically mocked Wu Mingkai's behavior.

Wu Mingkai still refused to put down the sword in his hand, but just pretended to be concerned and asked, "Why are you here?" The woman ignored it.

"Mrs. Wu?" I have never seen this woman, but if I look closely, I do look exactly like Wu Yun'er.

The woman's eyes were bloodshot, her long shawl hair was freckled, and her thin figure gave people a feeling of weakness. After she hugged Wu Yun'er, she slowly walked up to me, pulled me up, and asked in a dry throat, "Young man, is it okay?"

"No, it's okay, thank you Mrs. Wu. I looked at the woman with chapped lips and responded.

"Wen Xu, why are you helping this bastard boy?" Wu Mingkai was furious.

Shangguan Wenxu stroked her messy hair with a comb, and said bitterly: "Why not? You can have fun with your concubine, why can't I help?"

"Okay, okay, I'm really defeated to you. Wu Mingkai threw his sword to the ground.

"Yun'er and this young man are not guilty at all, aren't you the original sin?" Shangguan Wenxu was aggressive.

"Mrs. Wu, isn't it ......" I was interrupted before I could finish my mouth.

"That's enough! From the very beginning, you were talking nonsense? It's a scourge for this kid to stay, but now it's okay, you still have to protect him?" Wu Mingkai's words were mixed with ridicule.

"What's the matter? Now you refuse to admit your mistakes?" Shangguan Wenxu turned to leave and said, "You two go with me, I have something to say." โ€

"Get out!" Wu Mingkai was furious.

"Bang!" the door to the second floor was slammed shut. In the main hall, only Wu Mingkai and Wu Xin'er's coffins were left after being buried, empty and slightly lonely.

Wu Mingkai's angry words echoed in the air for a moment and then gradually faded.

"I'm really sorry, Xin'er, I bothered you......" Wu Mingkai lay on the coffin cover, and suddenly lost the tough momentum just now. He cried and mourned: "Dad is really a wreck...... You think so......"

The first floor of Wu's Tavern is a partial room.

"Well, maybe I'm talking too much. โ€

"Mother, you're bothered. โ€

"What stupid are you talking about? Your father doesn't care about the three of us, mother and daughter, and I don't care if I do. Shangguan Wenxu's mean words couldn't hide her peaceful gaze.

"Mrs. Wu, in fact, he is not wrong, the black gas was released by me, and the responsibility is natural for me. โ€

"Don't be too depressed, lad. I've heard everything, the problem of black gas hurting people is not you, and you still have the consciousness to remedy it, which is really rare. โ€

I was already riddled with guilt, and after hearing this, my heart was even more uncomfortable.

"Wrong is wrong, and I will do it when it comes to atonement. โ€

"It seems that I didn't look away. Shangguan Wenxu gently folded Wu Yun'er's hand on Yan Tianchen's hand and said, "In the future, Yun'er will be handed over to you." โ€

"What?" I thought her heart was beating a little slower, and I didn't expect her to say such a thing to me.

It turned out that Wu Mingkai's illegal plundering of the Bilian mountain grass on the slope of the mountain behind Luoyang City had been exposed, and officers and soldiers would soon chase after him. Wu Mingkai wanted to finish his daughter's funeral before that.

"Mrs. Wu, isn't this good?" I wanted to retract my hand, but I gave up when I looked into Shangguan Wenxu's eyes.

"Young man, I know Yun'er's father's character quite well. If he goes to jail, you will be exposed. If you have a way to save Xin'er, go quickly. โ€

"Mother...... Mother...... This...... This ......" Wu Yun'er's face suddenly turned red, and she said in a speech.

"Okay, okay, this time you'll listen to your mother. โ€

"Thank you, Mrs. Wu, for your attention, but I'm ashamed of it, and I'll do it just for the protection of Ling Ai. I solemnly emphasized, "And Xin'er, I will find a way to save it, please keep Xin'er's coffin before that." โ€

"Is it really possible?"

"My lord once said a legend about a spirit stone. I said this as if it had a flash of inspiration.

"Spirit Stone?" Wu Yun'er asked.
