641-650

Yan Zhiyuan felt his cheeks burning, as if something had flowed down his cheeks.

"Wake up."

It was as if a shout came from the horizon. Yan Zhiyuan seemed to have woken up from a dream and his eyes were blank.

That teardrop landed on Little Niu's finger and seeped into his body.

After a while, Yan Qingyun asked in a hoarse voice, "Where are we?"

Little Niu smiled and said, "The carriage has just left for less than five minutes."

"It's only been a while."

Yan Zhiyuan murmured in adrift. It felt like an entire lifetime.

He suddenly realized that he had made a huge mistake, but there was no chance to make up for it. He covered his face and cried, "How could this be? How could this be..."

He thought that he had finally made a comeback, but in the end, he had made a huge mistake and harmed the entire Yan family.

He had actually done such a despicable thing. How could he think that others would not know? How could he think that way?

It wasn't even the 15th of January yet. There were many people in the court who were probably waiting to report him after the 15th.

"Help! Help!"

Yan Zhiyuan knelt down in front of Little Niu. At this moment, he was treating Little Niu as his only straw to clutch at, praying that he could point out a clear path.

Little Niu let out a light sigh. "You and I are fated by a drop of water. It'll be over after I take away your teardrop of fear. It's useless even if you beg me."

Yan Zhiyuan fell into the carriage in a sorry state. What should he do?

The more he thought about it, the more regretful he became. He thought that he was leading the entire Yan family on a good path, but he did not know that he was walking towards their doom. Therefore, how could he have the face to go down and meet the ancestors of the Yan family?

Every time he finished venting his anger at Yan Qingyun, he would report it to the ancestral hall. Now that he thought about it, Yan Zhiyuan wanted to slap himself a few times. How could he do such a thing!

Yan Zhiyuan was in so much pain that he suddenly thought of an image. He immediately found the reason and said to himself, "Yes, it's my mother's fault. If she hadn't been so harsh to me, I wouldn't have hated my father. It's all my mother's fault. Who asked her to be so harsh to me? Who asked her to be so vicious? If there was a concubine's son in the mansion, I might have felt the pressure even without her being so strict. Yes, that's it."

Yan Zhiyuan found another reason to convince himself. With the source of his pain being clear, he felt much better.

Wiping away his tears, Yan Zhiyuan said to Little Niu, "Little Daoist priest, please help my father get better."

"Your father can't live anymore. He's just a wisp of remnant consciousness. Even if the Zenith Heaven gods come, there's nothing they can do. My fate with him is just to end his remnant consciousness and send him away in peace. If you're willing, I'll go. If you're unwilling, forget it. Don't speak nonsense"

Little Niu retracted his smile, his tone devoid of warmth.

His eyes were empty. Yan Zhiyuan looked at him and felt his hair stand on end. In just a few moments, he lowered his head and said hurriedly, "No, no, no. It's my bad mouth. Little Daoist priest, don't be angry."

"It's good that you understand fate."

Little Niu smiled again.

Yan Zhiyuan was a little absent-minded. One moment, he was terrified, and the next moment, he felt as if flowers were blooming in spring. He was blind, but he seemed to be able to see many things in his eyes. Yan Zhiyuan didn't dare to speak anymore. He dared to transfer his hatred to his dead mother, but he didn't dare to blame Little Niu, nor did he dare to make any requests of him.
