Chapter 861
If people from the Divine Halls found out that Ning Que was there, he would definitely be killed .
Ye Hongyu thought about the life and death vow because she felt that Ning Que was either courageous, or very stupid to come in front of her at the Seat of Black Heavenly Jade . This was akin to placing his life in her hands .
She sounded extremely bitter . The life and death vow very aptly described the situation Ning Que was facing and the purpose of his appearance on the Peach Mountain .
What is love? People live for it and die for it . It was normally the cause for suicidal craziness . Ning Que did not come to the Peach Mountain for her, nor for the imprisoned Chen Pipi . He was clearly here solely for the person in the Divine Hall of Light .
What a stupid choice it was to walk to his own demise because of love .
Ye Hongyu had always thought that Ning Que was one of the very few who were calm and wise like herself . However, she was disappointed to see him acting like those fictional heroes indulging in their naive choice of dying for love . She could not help scorning him
She and Ning Que were indeed similar, and he immediately picked up on the implications of her words . After a moment of silence, he said, ”I asked for your help this time, not because of her, but because of Pipi . You and Pipi shared some cherished childhood memories . Are you really going to watch him get burned to death?”
Ye Hongyu replied emotionlessly, ”My childhood was just like the time you shared with the one inside the Divine Hall of Light . Something I hated most and wish I would never recall again . ”
Even as she replied, she was still seated on the Seat of Heavenly Black Jade with her cheek resting on her hand, staring at the black floor in front of her neither turning around nor even sparing a glance at Ning Que .
Ning Que looked up to her beautiful face and said abruptly, ”I met Ye Su in Linkang City . ”
If this was before Ye Hongyu had read that letter, she might had replied differently and their conversation lead to a different conclusion .
But at that point, she could only say indifferently, ”Haotian knows everything in the world . You could have come to the Peach Mountain without being noticed by me or the hierarch . But you could never deceive her . I have no idea what Haotian was thinking about . And I am not going to interfere . If you are to be killed here, it has nothing to do with me . ”
Upon this she closed her eyes again with no further words, as if she felt asleep again . The silence in the empty hall was horrifying .
Ning Que was quiet for a long while, then stepped backward . When the huge and cold crystal lamp above was no longer s.h.i.+ning on his face, he answered, ”Thank you . ”
He had thrown his life into her hands by entering the Divine Hall of Justice . If only she had turned to him or spoken towards him, there would have come numerous powerful guards . But she didn't . He was grateful for her reminder, and also for letting him go .
There was no more sound from in the darkness, not even the sound of breathing . Ning Que left quietly . Ye Hongyu was still siting in her black jade throne with eyes closed and cheek on hand .
She told Ning Que many years ago that they would meet again in battle and fight till the death . The two of them did not have any sweet memories with each other .
By killing Ning Que, she would have put an end to this battle . As the Great Divine Priest of Judgment, she should not have had any hesitation . Yet she chose not to take any action . She wanted Chen Pipi to be saved . Since she could not help with what her brother wanted, she could only hope that Ning Que could fulfill it .
Most importantly, she did not know whether that person inside the Divine Hall of Judgement was looking at them, and what she would do to Ning Que .
That person was a divine figure who happened to descend to the human world, and thus made things complicated . Even if the Great Divine Priest of Revelation, Li Qingshan and Master Qishan were reborn again, and the Abbot were restored to his strongest state, it would not be enough to predict what would happen in the end . No one could predict Heaven's will .
In the quiet Divine Hall of Judgement, Ye Hongyu remained seated on the Seat of Heavenly Black Jade . Setting her cheek on her hand, she did not want to think any more about the upcoming Rite to Light and fell asleep .
The blood-colored Gown of Justice covered her perfect figure, while the Seat of Heavenly Black Jade nourished her mind . She appeared majestic, but also lonely .
. . .
In the fall of the 3450th year of Dazhi, the Rite to Light was held at the Peach Mountain .
Down in the towns at the foot of Peach Mountain, over two thousand Papal Cavalryman were fully armed, patrolling about on their holy mounts . The number of guards in the front yard of Peach Mountain was overwhelming . Hundreds of Sacred Guards of West-Hill were watching every single path that led to the site .
