Reborn as Powerful Minister's Beloved-Chapter 637 - 616: Second Update

Master Yu Sheng had barely moved his hand when Zong Yunqian had already rushed to the front.

"Elder Brother, stop——" Zong Yunqian didn’t know why he had to rush out; in that moment, it seemed like something overpowered his reason. He was well aware that the Ghoul Ravine bore a blood feud with them.

"Elder Brother, what I mean is, there’s no need to harm the innocent," Zong Yunqian said, knowing his current situation was extremely awkward. The only reason he could speak up was this one.

Even his relationship with her had turned into one of the "innocent."

"Yunqian, I know what’s on your mind," Master Huo Yi spoke, but before the interests of Nanzheng as a whole, he believed that even if Zheng Congyuan were here, he would make the same choice.

"Master, let me try first——" Zong Yunqian said, looking up with determination. He still trusted himself more, "And I ask Elder Brother to assist from the side," in case that kid resorted to tricks.

Upon hearing this, Master Yu Sheng could only nod. If possible, he didn’t really have to kill the Empress of Nanzheng.

It’s just that this Empress of Nanzheng was stubborn and unclear-headed, and right now, they had no time for soft-heartedness.

Ju Nanyi’s expression was ice-cold, knowing that his decision at this moment was crucial. Even if he couldn’t stop the Qiandao Temple, in front of her...

Moreover, Ju Nanyi was all too aware of Zheng Nianru’s feelings, but did that foolish Yin He know?

Ju Nanyi stepped forward, shielding Zheng Nianru, his expression returning to calm, and his choice had already been made in the moment he stepped out.

Ju Nanyi felt his brain must have been flooded. He had no confidence in persuading the people of Qiandao Temple, and on top of that, he was going crazy fighting for a love rival.

"Lord Ju, are you out of your mind too?" Master Yu Sheng was taken aback and asked angrily. Wasn’t it Lord Ju who had personally unleashed that monster and saved their Qiandao Temple?

"Honorable Mages, as a servant of the court, the foremost duty is to ensure the safety of our master," Ju Nanyi felt he was even sillier than Zong Yunqian. At least Zong Yunqian was simply unaware of the true reason and just out of his senses.

"Lord Ju, do you have a way to persuade... her?" Zong Yunqian spoke immediately, not waiting for anyone else to speak, "Master, let Lord Ju try."

Master Huo Yi nodded and at the same time gave Master Yu Sheng a look that meant to be ready for anything.

Master Yu Sheng nodded and followed Ju Nanyi forward.

While talking, Elder Can and Elder Su couldn’t think of any way out, and realized their situation was extremely perilous, almost hopeless. At this moment, they even needed Madam Young Master to ensure their safety, which was shameless for them.

Elder Can and Elder Su could clearly sense the murderous aura surrounding them; the disciples of Qiandao Temple, who had been busy saving people before, had now gathered around, their gazes enough to kill them.

Elder Su looked at Elder Can, what to do? They certainly couldn’t just sit there and wait to die.

Elder Can also knew this, but they were already at their wits’ end, lacking even the courage to stand, the only thing left was...

"Madam Young Master, please don’t worry about us, just leave, don’t mind us," Elder Can said decisively. Elder Su immediately pulled Elder Can—what kind of talk was that? Their Madam Young Master, even now, was protecting the Young Master, which moved them very much and showed that they were shortsighted; the Young Master had chosen the right person.

But now, there was no rationale for letting Madam Young Master escape alone.

Elder Can shook off Elder Su.

"Madam Young Master, there is no need for you to accompany us from Ghoul Ravine to embrace death; our disciples will remember your kindness for the rest of our lives," Elder Can said once more.

"I am not your so-called Madam Young Master, stop calling me that, I only saved Yin He," Zheng Nianru said coldly.

Elder Su was slightly confused—what kindness, what Madam Young Master? The next moment, an epiphany struck him. Yes, Madam Young Master must not die, she simply must not, for if Madam Young Master died, then would Ghoul Ravine truly be finished.

Their deaths were inconsequential, but the Young Master... alas, given the Young Master’s current condition, he was also unlikely to survive. But Madam Young Master was different; if she were to bear the Young Master’s heir, as long as the Ravine Master remained alive, Ghoul Ravine would have newfound hope.

Elder Su immediately looked at Zheng Nianru’s retreating figure with excitement yet dared not reveal his agitation.

Madam Young Master...

"Nian Ru, I understand what you’re thinking, but there’s no need to contend with Qiandao Temple—" Ju Nanyi patiently waited for Elder Can to finish speaking, his patience stemming from the fact that Elder Can was a reasonable person who understood there was no need to drag Zheng Nianru into this.

Zheng Nianru looked at Ju Nanyi, what do you mean?

It’s simple—Yin He is in the hands of Qiandao Temple, but we can still find out the method to resurrect Zheng Congyuan.

Ju Nanyi did not avert his gaze; he could not hold back the words because Zheng Nianru was still in the enemy’s hands. Even though these individuals were barely clinging to life, killing Zheng Nianru would be all too easy for them.

Zheng Nianru was momentarily startled, certain things could not be understood instantaneously, even after living two lifetimes, such as understanding the crux of matters; Ju Nanyi always managed to see through the key points of situations, always making calm and decisive judgments.

But there were things he didn’t comprehend, such as Yin He’s obsession was not afraid of life or death, unlike his imagination. For instance, emotions—thus, Zheng Nianru knew that although Ju Nanyi’s method was indeed the safest, she also knew it wouldn’t work.

When Yin He threw out her last card to save her, sacrificing herself along with the monster, she saw Yin He clearly, as if seeing another version of herself.

Zheng Nianru shook her head, this method will not work, she may not be as clever as Ju Nanyi, but Ju Nanyi has never truly understood her, and naturally wouldn’t understand Yin He either.

Ju Nanyi became immediately anxious, do you know what you are even saying? It had taken him so long, and he still hadn’t figured out Master Huo Yi’s ultimate goal, but he could see something—this time Qiandao Temple’s actions, akin to a suicidal mission, were not entirely caused by Yin He. In other words, from those from Qiandao Temple who came from the Northern Border, as well as the sudden entrapment upon reaching Qiandao Temple, he suspected that Master Huo Yi had orchestrated it deliberately.

Therefore, what Master Huo Yi wished to accomplish was unclear to Ju Nanyi, which is why he dared not act rashly.

However, at this moment, Master Yu Sheng would no longer allow Ju Nanyi the opportunity to speak; just as he was about to make his move, Xing Yu, standing next to Zheng Nianru, suddenly rose and shouted.

"Stop, no one come any closer—" As she spoke, her hands inexplicably had already picked up the Short Sword and raised it high into the air.

"Fire Starter—" Zheng Nianru immediately asked the nearby Elder Can and Elder Su. Elder Can was taken aback but cooperatively drew out the Fire Starter and handed it over. Xing Yu received it and held it in her hand as well.

Everyone was unsure what Xing Yu intended to do, even Xing Yu had doubts. Empress, will this really work?

Only Master Huo Yi, upon seeing this, changed his expression; they had all forgotten, that still above their heads, was something that although dead, could still cause immense destruction.
