After the sword bone was taken away, the reborn elder sister went crazy killing

After Pei Zhiyi finished his first job, he quickly returned to Gu Xizhou's palace.

“I always feel like I’m stealing.”

"Yiyi, remove the "seemingly"."

Pei Zhiyi snorted and was just about to take a break when he received a notification letter from Ye Ruoxi.

"You came to me at this time, probably because you encountered something you couldn't decide."

So Pei Zhiyi changed his clothes and went to the appointment.

"Why are you so anxious?"

Ye Ruoxi asked Pei Zhiyi to sit down while she was considering what to say next.

"Zhiyi, tell me, if you discover that the person you've served for so long isn't actually the one you thought was worth serving, will you choose to leave, or turn a blind eye and continue to make the same mistake? Even if it goes against your own conscience."

"Are you talking about the Human King?"

Ye Ruoxi knew that Pei Zhiyi was very smart, but she didn't expect her to be so sensitive.

"That's right." Ye Ruoxi took a deep breath. "I have admired him since I was a child because it was he who wiped out all the invaders that attacked the human race and brought hundreds of years of peace and prosperity to the human race. It was also he who treated me well after my father's death and entrusted me with such an important task as the Immortal Guard Division. I have always regarded him as someone worthy of admiration, just like a father."

"But one day I discovered that he had become different from the person I had imagined him to be, even drifting further and further apart. Or perhaps, the image of His Majesty I had of him was just a figment of my imagination, and that he wasn't truly that glorious and great at all. On the contrary, perhaps he was a complete hypocrite."

Ye Ruoxi had endured it again and again. In the past, she had turned a blind eye to many things. But today, she seemed unable to deceive herself and continue to do things for him.

"Is it because of Jun Ting's death?" Pei Zhiyi had a vague guess in his mind, and combined with what he had heard before, "So the truth you found out is that he killed his own child and even engaged in a dog-eat-dog fight with his other children at the family dinner."

It's certainly not pleasant to hear this, but it's the truth.

"Yes."

Ye Ruoxi also hoped that she had made a mistake, but no matter which direction she searched, it all pointed to the Human King.

"I've also found out through other sources that the Human King had killed others before, such as the true Crown Prince. He did many things behind the scenes, but because of his identity, many people helped him hide it. What chills me most is that the king whom the human race admires most is a hypocrite who only cares about climbing up the social ladder by stepping on their lives."

"Your heart already tells you the answer."

Pei Zhiyi sat down next to Ye Ruoxi, sighed deeply, and patted her back to comfort her. "You have always been the most honest and straightforward person in my heart. No matter what you do, you are considered someone else's child in the eyes of others. Everyone can see how much you have sacrificed to be in this position, but if one day you find that all the truth runs counter to the morality you uphold, letting go in time can be the right choice."

"It will definitely be difficult at the beginning, but I believe you can get through it on your own."

"So, you also think I didn't make a mistake, right?"

Pei Zhiyi nodded. "The reason I confirmed your truth right away is because what you found is consistent with what I found. Our so-called Human King is far from being as kind and righteous as he appears to be. Or perhaps he has been blinded by his lust for power and is no longer the person you admired before."

"You also found out..."

Ye Ruoxi laughed at herself, "You know what? This isn't the first time I've covered up for him."

This time, she didn't want to hide it anymore.

"The last time you deliberately sent us away, it was because you knew it was him, right?"

Ye Ruoxi closed her eyes, her throat moving slightly, "That's right."

"Then stop covering up for him. If you continue to work for someone like him, your life will be very difficult and painful."

"I know." Ye Ruoxi forced a somewhat ugly smile, "I just can't make a decision so decisively, and I don't have anyone to talk to right now, so I wanted to tell you."

"You can tell me anything if you have any questions."

Pei Zhiyi hugged Ye Ruoxi from behind and said, "I have also experienced the collapse of faith, so I understand how you feel. But we can only be sad for a while, because the road ahead still needs to be walked, and you will eventually find new faith to allow yourself to continue in a new direction."

"I know."

Ye Ruoxi held Pei Zhiyi's hand, and her voice finally choked up. "So, I'm going to report back with the truth I know."

"But he"

Pei Zhiyi was worried that His Majesty the Human King would become desperate and do something desperate.

"You don't have to worry about me. He can't do anything to me."

Ye Ruoxi was very confident about this. "When I want to tell you one day, you will naturally know why he can't do anything to me."

"Everyone has their own secrets. If you don't want to tell them, you don't have to. I won't hold any prejudice against you because we are friends and family."

"Xiao Zhiyi, you seem to be even more eloquent than before."

Ye Ruoxi regained her spirits and couldn't help but tease Pei Zhiyi, "Could it be that you've been with our elegant Imperial Master for so long that your words have become sweeter?"

Pei Zhiyi was helpless, "Why do you always tease me and him? He and I are really just good friends."

"If we're just friends, why is he always so nervous about you? And why do you sometimes blush and your ears turn red when you mention him?"

Pei Zhiyi shook his head sincerely. "As you said, some of my behaviors may indicate that I have some feelings for him. However, I have asked him before, but he didn't answer my questions. Perhaps he didn't reject me directly just to protect my self-esteem. In fact, it's good to be friends like this. We don't have to be lovers."

"But if you have always been friends, what will you do if one day you or he has a lover?"

Pei Zhiyi was even more confused. "Could it be that if he and I have lovers, will it affect our friendship?"

"Normally not, but you'll also have to consider your loved ones' feelings when the time comes. That's why I say if you truly have feelings for each other, then you should express your feelings to each other right now, right now. Whether you can become lovers or just friends, it's at least better than keeping it bottled up and keeping things ambiguous."

Ye Ruoxi's words were a revelation, but she was also worried, "But if he really doesn't have that kind of feeling towards me, and I express it to him, can we still be sincere friends in the future?"
