Chapter 1655 Died on behalf
Yang An had just entered the room and saw the left shadow guard raising his long sword, shouting, "Wait a moment!"
Although he didn’t know what had happened, for the left shadow guard to want to kill Qingyi in front of the Valley Master clearly indicated that Qingyi had infuriated the Valley Master. He hurriedly knelt down and pleaded, "Valley Master, please show mercy. Qingyi has committed a capital offense, and I know my plea is useless. I am willing to take her place and bear the punishment."
"Bear the punishment?" The left shadow guard said emotionlessly, "She deserves to die, and if you bear the punishment, then you shall die."
Yang An glanced at the unconscious Wei Qingyi, his fists clenched together. He closed his eyes briefly, "Then... use my life to exchange hers. I only beg the Valley Master to spare Qingyi."
Xiao Yuchuan looked at Yang An, who he had always valued greatly, "I know that you have liked Wei Qingyi for five years. Do you know that this woman has extremely poor character, pretending to be straightforward and taking advantage of her father’s influence at Wei Tang to often extort money from people in the valley? Despite claiming she doesn’t care about the title of Valley Master’s Wife, she risked her life to become my woman when I repeatedly told her to leave. Do you really think she loves me for anything other than fame and fortune? Is such a despicable woman truly worth your life?"
"She..." Yang An, being a doctor who also understood martial arts, naturally saw that the Valley Master had been struck in his acupoints. Moreover, with the Valley Master’s upper clothes removed and belt unfastened, it was clearly Qingyi’s doing. He couldn’t help but feel disappointed in her, struggling to believe that the woman he loved was actually such a wretch.
However, having loved her for five years, how could he bear to watch her die? Yang An pleaded earnestly, "Valley Master, I love her. I beg you, considering my unwavering loyalty to you, to give her a chance to live."
Xiao Yuchuan listened and responded with a cold smile.
He closed his eyes, saying nothing, forcing himself to calm down and suppress the intense desire. Resolving the acupoints was most urgent at this moment.
Seeing the Valley Master remain silent, Yang An dared not interrupt any further.
With a clear mind, Xiao Yuchuan figured out the method to unblock the acupoints.
