Chapter 684: Chapter 684 Brother Ye is back_1

Nan Feng was also looking at Long San.

She saw Long San slowly putting the short flute to his lips, and soon, a strangely eerie tune began to play.

As the melody filled the air, a large, green snake started to slither towards the execution ground.

At first, there was just one. Then two, three, a handful... finally, a swarm of them.

The onlooking spectators were taken aback by the sudden emergence of the snakes. Even though the fights here were intense, they didn’t dare get any closer.

As the flute continued to play, more and more snakes headed towards the guards on the execution ground.

Rather, it would be more accurate to say that they were lunging at them.

It was then that Nan Feng realized, snakes really could lunge through the air.

In the beginning, the guards were able to fend them off. However, as more and more snakes came wriggling over, they eventually found themselves overwhelmed. The guards started to collapse one by one as the cold snakes wrapped around their necks and sunk their fangs into their wrists.

Nan Feng was greatly taken aback by what was happening.

She looked at Long San again. His eyes were filled only with the resolve to save her. He disregarded everything else.

She felt a warmth in her heart.

At that moment, the thought popped into her head: Was his assistance to her really just borne from camaraderie?

Or was it because of Brother Ye?

As the venue became overwhelmed with snakes, the momentum of the authorities gradually began to dither.

Suddenly, a man riding a swift horse charged onto the scene with fervor from afar.

He was tall and sturdy, with a steadfast gaze, bravely riding a fast horse, radiating a regal aura.

Under the thunderous hoof-beat, the horseman charged up to the scaffold, seized the reins in the final moment, and the horse whinnied, spinning almost full circle mid-air before landing steadily. "The Holy Card is here, as if the emperor himself is present!" he declared, raising a piece of the Holy Card.

The presiding official and the Interrogation Officer didn’t recognize him, but they recognized the Holy Card in his hand.

It was a Holy Card that all officials recognized.

In a short time, everyone was on their knees, yelling, "Long live the emperor! Long live, live forever!"

"Now presenting the decree of the emperor. One, Nan Feng is innocent and shall be released immediately. Two..."

Brother Ye glared at the kneeling Wan Hui, then declared, "Lenient sentences for all others. They will serve two months of prison time and all their wealth will be confiscated."

The things they heard seemed to bring relief to Wan Hui and his associates, each and every one of them grateful to tears. Spending two-months in prison or having all their possessions confiscated were, after all, better than being beheaded.

...

Brother Ye dismounted his horse and walked over to Nan Feng.

Nan Feng’s body had been frail and she had just been through such a commotion. Now, seeing Brother Ye overcame her. All her mental defenses collapsed, and she fainted, falling right into Brother Ye’s arms.

Brother Ye held Nan Feng.

The tune played by Long San on the flute had stopped when Brother Ye charged in, strangely enough, as quickly as they had surfaced, the snakes all slithered away as soon as the flute music stopped.

But after Long San put away his flute, he promptly vomited a mouthful of blood. The Butler hurriedly stepped forward to support Long San..

Carrying Nan Feng, Brother Ye exited the execution ground, passing by Long San. In a show of appreciation, he said, "Thank you. If there ever comes a time when you may need Xia Ye, I will not hesitate to help."

Long San just faintly nodded his head. Shortly after, he was assisted by the Butler, and they left.

His duty had been fulfilled.

Meanwhile, Xue Ling watched the retreating figures of Brother Ye and Long San.

She suddenly felt that she wasn’t suited to go with either Brother Ye or Long San.

So, she had to return to Spikenard Square.
