Chapter 22(1/2)
Wei Yuanli stretched out his hand and gave him a symbolic shake.
“A pleasure to work with.”
As for what he wants the Duke to do for him, of course it is to restore the original appearance of the clan, rescue his sister, and also take revenge on Shen Qingbai.
But he felt that Ji An's method was better for revenge. By then, Shen Qingbai would have nothing and become a useless person. There would be no need for him to do it himself, and others would take revenge on him.
That's why he was so calm when he saw Shen Qingbai, because when Shen Qingbai saw him, he couldn't escape.
But he didn't expect that Shen Qingbai would kill Wei Hua. When he saw Wei Hua's tortured body in the cell, his heart collapsed.
He only had this sister, and his only relative was killed by Shen Qingbai!
The last time Shen Qingbai stood on that hillside, he could see it vaguely from a distance but felt it was inexplicably familiar.
It wasn't until it fogged up again that Wei Yuanli recognized Shen Qingbai as the vampire from his childhood.
When he was a child, Shen Qingbai also jumped down the hillside when it was foggy. Later, his parents were killed by the vampires he attracted, and he watched from a distance.
But the world was so hot, and he didn't expect that a few years later he would be deceived by Shen Qingbai again, and his only relative would be captured by Shen Qingbai, and finally die tragically in Shen Qingbai's hands.
He hates it! He hates why Shen Qingbai always harms him. He could have a happy family with family members who love him, instead of spending every day in killing.
Therefore, he wanted Shen Qingbai to apologize and repent.
But Shen Qingbai just didn't get what he wanted. He didn't repent. He was guilty but didn't repent. He wanted to use the same methods of interrogating criminals on him, but he couldn't do it.
While he was torturing Shen Qingbai, he was also torturing himself. He hated that he had fallen in love with Shen Qingbai and this sinner, but he couldn't help but love Shen Qingbai.
Seeing Shen Qingbai crying constantly because of the pain, he felt distressed and wanted to stop.
But when he thought of those innocent people who died, he couldn't help but feel resentful and wanted revenge.
During this torture, things like clan leadership were slowly handed over, some things were slowly revealed, and some people's ambitions were also revealed.
He has been led by hatred to move forward, but one day, someone told him that those people died unjustly, and suddenly he didn't know the direction.
At that moment, a feeling of powerlessness enveloped his whole body. He didn't know what to do next. At that moment, he didn't want to do anything.
His sister and elders were lying to him, but he vented his resentment on Shen Qingbai, which was wrong.
But his tribe and parents really died, and they were killed by Shen Qingbai. He seemed to have done nothing wrong.
But he didn't know how to face Shen Qingbai.
Before he could see the road ahead clearly, Shen Qingbai was about to move away from him. Wei Yuanli tried his best to catch it, but only caught a ball of air, leaving him alone in the white world.
He wants Shen Qingbai, he doesn't want Shen Qingbai to lie to him again, he wants his wholehearted love, but this is a luxury after all, and it is impossible for the two of them.
"Why do you always lie to me?"
Wei Yuanli lowered his head and kissed the corner of Shen Qingbai's lips, and whispered, with a hint of choking.
But the boy's voice pulled him out of his sadness.
"I don't believe it! Patriarch, you must have been deceived by this vampire again!"
Wei Yuanli straightened up and looked at the young man.
"This is what the surviving elders said personally."
Wei Yuanli didn't believe it at first, but looking at those elders who were suddenly fifty years younger but were suffering every day, Wei Yuanli had no choice but to believe it.
The young man's faith seemed to be destroyed in an instant. How could the elders he had followed and respected since childhood do such a thing? It must have been framed by Shen Qingbai!
"No, Shen Qingbai is very vicious. What if he framed the accusation? Patriarch, you have to clear the elders' innocence..."
"Lampei."
Wei Yuanli only called the boy's name, but the boy stopped talking.
Naturally, Wei Yuanli would not easily believe something that even Lan Pei didn't believe. He must have confirmed it repeatedly before speaking out.
But Lanpei still refused to give up.
"...What about our friends and comrades-in-arms? They were always killed by Shen Qingbai!"
On the day of the red moon, after Shen Qingbai escaped, Wei Yuanli led his men to chase him, but in the end they didn't catch him, so they had to go back the way they came.
But when they came back, what they saw were broken limbs and arms everywhere, the corpses of their comrades, and the breath left by vampires.
This is obviously a plan devised by Shen Qingbai to lure the tiger away from the mountain.
"I have no idea."
Wei Yuanli now feels that everything is fake.
"That's it! Even if he didn't personally order the extermination of the tribe, it still has something to do with him, so what we are doing now is not wrong."
Wei Yuanli opened his mouth, not knowing how to refute, but...
"He's in pain."
"He deserves to be hurt, and he deserves it even if he dies. That's what he owes those clan members who died."
Wei Yuanli's movement of holding the person froze. He knew that what he said next was very selfish, but he still said it.
"He was adopted by me, and I am responsible for his actions. He has done everything he can do, and has been tortured when he should be tortured. What's more, he has been fed medicine and has become an ordinary person. He can no longer change.
No matter what kind of trouble comes out, these are enough, and the rest... I can do it for him."
Bang!
Lan Pei stepped forward excitedly, and even knocked over a chair, making a loud noise, but he didn't care. At this moment, his face was red and he was very excited.
"It's not enough! How can it be enough? It's not enough if Shen Qingbai is still alive! Shen Qingbai must be killed to sacrifice for those dead clansmen! He deserves to die, he deserves to die! Let him go to the eighteenth level of hell! Let him also want it down there.
Atonement!"
"No! I can sacrifice! I can cut out the flesh and bones to sacrifice! I will do it for him. You can let him go. You all can let him go."
I also let him go.
There was even a hint of pleading behind Wei Yuanli's voice.
Lan Pei's mood gradually recovered.
"You! Is it worth it? He has lied to you so many times... Forget it, it's up to you. You can tell the clan members yourself when the time comes. I can't control you anyway."
In the end, Lan Pei gave up arguing with Wei Yuanli in frustration.
"Well, I will tell the clan members. But since you have been with the elders since you were a child, you will definitely be the one to carry out the execution."
Wei Yuanli meant that Lan Pei really wanted to take care of it.
"Oh, just take care of it. I will show no mercy when the time comes and I will definitely kill you, the traitor!"
Lan Pei and Wei Yuanli have been friends since childhood. Although they often quarrel, they are always for each other's good.
"knew."
Wei Yuanli lowered his head again.
Lan Pei was angry and refused to argue. After the room was quiet for a while, Lan Pei spoke again.
"The Duke is about to take action. I'm here to inform you that you can return to your clan."
"Um."
Lan Pei walked out quickly, the door was closed, and the room fell into silence again.
Wei Yuanli sat for a while longer, then stood up with the person in his arms and took the person to bed. Wei Yuanli buried his head in Shen Qingbai's arms, his voice filled with endless sorrow.
"Aqing, please wake up and look at me."
Originally, Shen Qingbai was just in a coma, and his reaction would not have been so great.
But when Ji An gave the pills, he also specifically said that Shen Qingbai would become a weak ordinary person only in the end.
At that time, he didn't quite understand what this "final result" meant.
But at that time, he only thought about taking revenge on Shen Qingbai and making him regret and apologize. He didn't think much or ask any questions.
But thinking about it now, and considering Ji An's not-so-kind smile at that time, Wei Yuanli roughly understood what he meant.
After feeding the pill, Shen Qingbai may die directly, but in the end his body will become like a weak ordinary person who dies naturally; he may also get sick, and with his weak body, he will soon die
Die; in the same way, Shen Qingbai may continue to sleep like this until his body functions fail, and he dies peacefully in his sleep, unable to open his eyes for the rest of his life.
It is not until life counts down, only the last bit of sand is left in the hourglass, and the people who have missed it completely disappear, that people can truly realize their mistakes and misunderstandings, and then they begin to regret and compensate.
But the lost things are like the sand in your hands, passing through your fingers bit by bit, but you can't do anything about it.
A night of silence, a desolate heart.
The next day, as soon as Wei Yuanli got up, he took advantage of Shen Qingbai, who was still sleeping, and gave him a huge kiss.
Wei Yuanli looked more energetic than the previous few days.
"Hey, dear Ah Qing, wake up quickly."
Wei Yuanli got out of bed and went to find clothes for Shen Qingbai to wear today. He was going to take Shen Qingbai out today.
After putting clothes on the person, he also packed up a few clothes that Shen Qingbai liked before, picked up the person and went out.
