Hearing the young woman's words, the middle-aged steward's eyes flashed with regret. It was such a pity that such a beautiful woman was going to be killed by the family.
If he could pamper this woman, his 30 years as a steward would not be in vain. After all, this woman was once the wife of the first genius of the Xiao family.
What a pity! This woman was definitely not someone he could touch.
"Ying Lingxue, you suffer from cold-blood disease and live in pain all year round. How dare you say such nonsense after being blessed by the family?" The middle-aged steward frowned and reprimanded her.
Although he could not disrespect the high and mighty Young Mistress of the Xiao family, reprimanding her made the middle-aged steward's vanity soar.
"My death is not to be regretted, but before I die, I just want to see my Yun 'er." The green-robed woman bit her lips tightly, giving off a pitiful feeling. This was also her greatest wish before she died.
"Humph!"
"The uncle and nephew are full of themselves. They went to the Ice Sea to hunt for the Extreme Yin Ice Fox. I'm afraid they have already died on the way. Don't be delusional. Go to heaven today!"
"No, my son will never die!" Ying Lingxue choked with sobs and rebuked loudly.
"Stubborn!"
"Send them to heaven!"
Ying Lingxue's beauty did not arouse the slightest pity for those who were about to die.
The two servants were emotionless. They walked to the crowd with trays in their hands and handed out jade bottles to the old, weak, women, and children.
At this moment!
No one was really unafraid of death. Facing death head-on, the dozens of people who were about to die finally had a trace of fear in their eyes. But even so, they knew that their time was up.
"Haha!"
"My husband worked hard for the family all his life and was eventually devoured by a ferocious beast. But the family is heartless and sends us to heaven. Such a family makes me feel bitter and hateful."
An old woman laughed wildly. She laughed and laughed until tears flowed out of her eyes. Then, she suddenly pulled out the cork and drank the liquid in the bottle.
"Bang!"
His body fell to the ground powerlessly and slowly stiffened. However, his eyes, which were filled with unwillingness before his death, refused to close.
The middle-aged steward seemed to be used to such a scene and did not care. He looked indifferently at the dozens of people who were about to die and spoke slowly.
"Don't hesitate. Save the family's resources and be free. This is a great kindness!"
Crack!
The ear-piercing sound of a jade bottle shattering rang out. The middle-aged steward's face darkened as he looked at Ying Lingxue.
"Ying Lingxue, I'll call you Young Madam again. I hope you won't make a mistake. Don't force me to do anything to you. You'd better go back now and leave the last dignity of the Young Madam of the Xiao Family."
"Men, give Young Mistress another bottle of Heaven Returning Elixir!" The middle-aged steward said gloomily as he looked at the broken jade bottle in front of Ying Lingxue.
The jade bottle was placed in Ying Lingxue's hand again, which made her bite her lips hard. Her eyes were filled with despair.
She wasn't afraid of death, but she wasn't willing to die without seeing her son.
But today, she knew that her lifespan had come to an end. She would rather die than allow the steward to force himself on her and defile her body.
"Yun 'er!"
Ying Lingxue murmured with a mournful look. Without any hesitation, she unplugged the cork and drank the liquid in the bottle.
"Mother!"
All of a sudden!
A heart-wrenching shriek was heard again. The young man dashed toward Ying Lingxue, ignoring the middle-aged steward's shocked expression.
Crack!
The jade bottle shattered. Looking at the young man in front of her, Ying Lingxue's face was filled with serenity. She didn't expect that she would be able to see her son again at the last moment of her life. Now, she could sleep peacefully without any worries.
"It's … it's good that you're back … Mother … Mother is relieved."
Ying Lingxue smiled with relief as her hands were held tightly by the young man. Her eyelids were slightly heavy as if she was about to fall into a deep sleep.
"Sister-in-law."
Xiao Changhe came with the wind. His mournful aura was blooming as he looked at the middle-aged steward with extreme hatred.
"Mother, don't die." The young man held Ying Lingxue's hands that were gradually turning cold and cried out.
Buzz!
Time and space were reversed. Ye Xuan suddenly appeared in front of the young man. Looking at the woman's pale face, a strange smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
Ye Xuan's appearance woke the young man up instantly. He knew that Ye Xuan must be someone as powerful as the Tongtian. Perhaps only Ye Xuan could save his mother's life.
"Sir, you're like the Tongtian. Please save my mother."
Looking at the young man's forehead that was stained with blood, Ye Xuan frowned slightly. His eyes were slightly dazed. The young man's filial piety was the same as his in the past. It was a pity that the young man could only follow in his footsteps.
Ye Xuan put two fingers together. A bit of the power of time and space was born at his fingertips. He pointed directly at Ying Lingxue's forehead.
This was the Divine Finger of Time and Space. With Ye Xuan's cultivation at the Dao Querying Realm, he could freeze time and space.
Ying Lingxue's face suddenly flushed red and then turned pale again. Her consciousness that was about to dissipate gradually recovered. She also gradually saw Ye Xuan's face clearly.
"I've already frozen her bloodline. The poison is temporarily under control. Once we find a quiet place, I'll naturally expel the poison from her body," Ye Xuan said softly.
Hearing Ye Xuan's words, the young man kept kowtowing and thanking him. He wiped away the tears on his cheeks.
"Mother! Sir's cultivation is like the Tongtian. Not only did you help Yun 'er catch the Extreme Yin Icefox, but you'll also cure Mother's cold and blood disease. Mother, when you recover, we'll leave the Xiao Family and never come back. "
"Haha."
All of a sudden! There was a sinister laugh. The middle-aged steward walked forward and said with a ferocious expression, "Little bastard, I didn't expect you to not die. You even brought back the Extreme Yin Icefox?"
Looking at the ferocious beast on the young man's waist, the middle-aged steward's eyes flashed with greed. This kind of spiritual creature was hard to find. He didn't expect the young man to really hunt it down and return to the Xiao Family to save Ying Lingxue.
"Destroying the Returning to Heaven Ceremony is a serious crime. Hand over the Extreme Yin Icefox and go to the Hall of Penal Law to plead guilty." The middle-aged steward said coldly, showing his authority.
"This Icefox is my mother's life-saving medicine. How can I give it to you?" Hearing the middle-aged steward's words, the young man roared with hatred in his eyes.
"Take your mother and senior first. I'll stop him!" Xiao Changhe took a step forward and a violent aura surged around him. He was ready to fight to the death.
"With just you?"
The middle-aged steward sneered, "Xiao Changhe, if you don't want to die, you'd better get out of my way."
"Boring!"
Without waiting for Xiao Changhe to make a move, Ye Xuan's eyes rotated, and a scene that made everyone panic appeared!
Flesh and blood turned into bones, and bones turned into ashes. The time in this space seemed to be reversed. The middle-aged steward completely turned into nothingness and never appeared in this world again.
"Let's go!"
Indifferent and silent, Ye Xuan walked out of the Returning to Heaven Courtyard as if he was taking a stroll in the park.
No one clearly saw how the middle-aged manager died, but everyone knew that it was definitely Ye Xuan's doing. However, to silently turn a person into dust, this simply caused one's body and mind to tremble to the extreme.
Ying Lingxue's eyes flashed with shock as she looked at Ye Xuan's departing figure. The uncle and nephew were completely dumbstruck, and the rest of the old, weak, women, and children, as well as the two servants, were even trembling.
"Mother! Let's go. With Sir here, no one can hurt us. "
The young man helped Ying Lingxue up. The mother and son quickly followed Ye Xuan's footsteps and returned to the side courtyard.
As Ye Xuan and the others left, the servants on both sides screamed and fled. The whole Xiao family was in complete chaos.
In the side courtyard.
Ye Xuan's eyes turned, and many domestic animals turned into ashes and dissipated between heaven and earth. With a wave of his hand, a violent cold wind blew, and the smell of feces in the entire side courtyard dissipated.
At this moment, Ying Lingxue looked at Ye Xuan's back with an inexplicable look in her eyes. When her beautiful eyes flickered, it was as if she had made some kind of decision.
"Sir, can … can you really fight against the Xiao family?" After rescuing his mother, the young man's depression dissipated. He asked Ye Xuan tentatively.
"Fight?"
Ye Xuan smiled. However, he didn't answer this question because this question was too much of a joke in his opinion.
"Yun 'er, don't be rude to Sir."
Ying Lingxue pretended to reprimand and walked toward Ye Xuan. Then, she bowed and said, "Thank you for your help, Sir. Lingxue pays her respects to you."
This woman was so scheming!
With just a glance, Ye Xuan could see two words in her eyes!
Ambition!
Very greedy ambition!
This woman's performance was graceful and elegant. Her appearance was also peerless, and her figure was curvaceous. She was like a ripe peach that made people want to pick her.
However, this woman's every move and action revealed her feminine charm.
To put it bluntly, this woman was seducing him!
Yes, she was seducing him.
Ye Xuan smiled, but his smile was very strange. A cold look flashed across his eyes.
