Ye Ruoxi was very disappointed. The once openly righteous Human King had disappeared. Or perhaps, he had always been like this, and it was all just a disguise.

But no matter what, there was no need for her to remain loyal to him any longer.

"The truth of the matter has been revealed. No matter what choice Your Majesty makes, I respect it."

Ye Ruoxi stood up slowly, and the Human King became even angrier.

"Did I tell you to stand up? Just stand up!"

"Even if I were still your subject, even if I were still your subject, you should respect me for this very reason, and not treat me as your slave, someone you can use at will."

The Human King felt guilty and wanted to say something else, but he found that he didn't know how to say many things. Because no matter what he said, it would sound like a sophistry.

"What exactly do you want?"

The Human King compromised, "How can you avoid resigning?"

There is no one around him who can be used. If Ye Ruoxi resigns at this time, it will undoubtedly be a huge blow to him.

Ye Ruoxi was a little surprised. She didn't expect the Human King to keep her.

"From what you said, you still need me."

"Indeed," the Human King admitted frankly. "It's undeniable that your abilities and strength are among the best among the young people in the country. Furthermore, you've assisted me for so many years and made many contributions, so I shouldn't let you down. So, what do you want me to do?"

"I want you to confess your sins and admit everything you've done over the years. Do you dare?"

"presumptuous!"

The majesty of the Human King emerged again.

"Why are you so obsessed with this? It's just a substitute who died. If I want to kill someone, don't I have the power to do so?"

"You have the right to punish anyone who disrespects you, or even betrays humanity. But this substitute prince you're talking about has done nothing wrong. He may have some character flaws, but that's absolutely no reason for him to die. In other words, if you continue to indiscriminately murder your own people, even your own family, you will eventually reach an extreme and bring yourself to an irredeemable state!"

This is Ye Ruoxi's final advice.

"That's all I have to say. Your Majesty, please think carefully about what you should do and whether you still want to maintain your good reputation and sit in this position."

After Ye Ruoxi finished speaking, she turned and left.

The Human King looked at Ye Ruoxi's back, stood there for a long time, and finally lowered his head.

"And then, after you said all this, he still didn't react at all?"

Ye Ruoxi shook her head and took the teacup handed to her by Pei Zhiyi. "No matter what decision he makes next, I won't care anymore. It just so happens that I'm tired of sitting in this position."

Pei Zhiyi couldn't help laughing, "You'd better be."

Based on Pei Zhiyi's understanding of Ye Ruoxi, Ye Ruoxi is indeed a very responsible and responsible person.

She had been in this position for so long, and had dealt with countless injustices. If she suddenly quit at this moment, it would mean that someone else would have to take over many unfinished matters. When people came to Ye Ruoxi one after another to ask how to solve the problem, Ye Ruoxi might still be unable to help but help.

"You have to give me some time. It's impossible to let go completely."

This kind of thing is similar to love. You have invested so much effort in it for so many years, and one day you suddenly don’t want to continue to devote yourself to it. It is very difficult to withdraw.

"It's natural."

Pei Zhiyi curled his lips and smiled. He was about to continue joking or comforting her when he suddenly felt a burning pain in his back.

"what happened?"

Pei Zhiyi groaned in pain and shook his head, "I don't know, it just hurts suddenly."

It is the location of the xiphoid bone.

Ye Ruoxi reached out to touch it, but was knocked away by a strong current of heat.

"How is this going?"

Ye Ruoxi quickly injected water-based spiritual power, but it was of no avail.

"Is your sword bone...?"

Pei Zhiyi bit his lips until they bled.

"I've been a little too relaxed lately. I was thinking of settling the score with them after I've dealt with things here, and then getting back what belongs to me. But it's clear that they can't wait to get killed!"

"Is it Jian Xuetian who's behind this?"

Pei Zhiyi nodded slightly and stood up while enduring the pain in his back.

"They should have found a way to melt my sword bone."

"How can this be?"

Ye Ruoxi couldn't believe it, "Throughout history, no one has ever been able to melt another's sword bone and use it for themselves."

"But throughout history, no one has ever dug out another's sword bone in the hope of using it on themselves."

Ye Ruoxi was silent. It was indeed true.

"So what are you going to do now? Can you stop him in your current state?"

Pei Zhiyi smiled, but the smile did not reach her eyes. She forced herself to ignore the pain in her back. "No matter what my current state is, there is always someone responsible for the wrongs I have done. I will do what I have to do. I can't let him really melt my sword bone."

"I'll go with you."

Ye Ruoxi didn't let Pei Zhiyi say anything more. "I'm worried about you going like this. I also don't like Jian Xuetian and his gang. Why don't I go with you? It's a good opportunity to vent my anger at the Human King. It's a win-win situation."

"I didn't reject you, why are you speaking so quickly?"

"Because I'm afraid you'll still be like before, choosing to take on everything yourself and never telling us."

"I'm not like that now."

Pei Zhiyi spoke to Ye Ruoxi in a relaxed manner, but he actually felt a heavy burden on his heart.

Although she has the strength now, she cannot guarantee that she can get the sword bone and escape unscathed.

"Don't worry, Yiyi."

Bai Ze and Qilin were calm this time. "That person is in the same area as you, and you both know each other's existence. So she must be feeling the same way as you. So, you are not fighting alone."

Pei Zhiyi: “?”

Bai Ze and Qilin guessed correctly. Pei Zhinian did feel it, and the backlash she suffered was stronger than Pei Zhiyi himself.

"Hurry up and find the location of Jian Xuetian and his men. I want to make sure those damned creatures die immediately!"

"Yes."

Pei Zhinian was in so much pain that he clutched the seat tightly with both hands, his face completely pale.

"She couldn't save her sword bone, and I was the one who suffered the most. It's really not fair at all."

Pei Zhinian gritted his teeth and said, "I must make those people pay the price!"

"Master, found it!"

Pei Zhinian reached out to his men and said, "Carry me over here."

The subordinates did not hesitate. After all, they had done this kind of thing many times and had become proficient in it.

But I didn't expect that someone would intercept it.
