Ah...
He Yuanyi was dead.
Ye Ning should take full responsibility for his death.
But Ye Ning didn't want to take any responsibility.
He only had endless sorrow.
If possible, he would have rushed over and yelled at He Yuanyi.
"Get up, please kill me!"
But obviously that was not possible.
The person was already dead.
If he did that, he would definitely not be considered human.
So he could only stand stupidly in place, with a very confused inner world.
"It turns out that it's not easy to die even if you want to."
Ye Ning was still immersed in the pain of unsuccessful suicide, but others fell into fear.
The reason for the fear is very simple.
He Yuanyi was dead.
The Immortal of the Ascension sect had died openly in the court.
"This is a big deal!"
The Ascension sect would never give up his intention!
Everyone was sure of this.
"Lord Ye... I admire you greatly!"
Cao Meng wanted to say something, but choked up and eventually just clasped his hands and turned to leave.
His words were really few.
The remaining kings looked at Ye Ning with complicated eyes and then left with Cao Meng.
This person was as good as dead.
If the conspiracy has been revealed and he caused the death of He Yuanyi, the immortal sect would definitely not let him go.
If they were smart enough, they should not have anything to do with Ye Ning.
The remaining officials were not at ease.
Before Ji Mingyue declared the recess of the court, they did not dare to leave casually.
But for the most part, their attitude towards Ye Ning was just fear of not being able to avoid him!
Ye Ning's actions had been great, making them ashamed and touched.
It had rekindled their past fervor.
But in the end, humans still had to be rational.
After regaining their rationality, they weighed the pros and cons and knew that they could not have any connection with Ye Ning.
"Lord Ye, you are not afraid to die, you have the aura of a sage from ancient times. We admire you greatly, but we don't want to die with you."
They thought.
Only a few people were awakened by Ye Ning's words and actions and silently regarded him as a beacon, willing to follow him.
"Ye Ning, rest assured, I am here and I will not let the immortal sect easily harm you!"
Ji Mingyue was also very distressed.
He wanted to protect Ye Ning, however, with He Yuanyi's death, things had gotten a little out of control.
But he had a responsibility.
As a loyal official like Ye Ning, he wanted to protect and must protected to the end!
"In fact, Your Majesty could ignore me."
Ye Ning shuddered, resentment filled his heart.
"The benighted emperor, are you sick? Why do you want to save my life!"
"No, you are an unparalleled hero, with the recognition of the great sages. You did not let me down, and I will not let you down!"
Ji Mingyue spoke sincerely and passionately.
Ye Ning fell silent.
He rubbed his temples and walked outside.
He wanted some peace and quiet.
Too much had happened today, and he needed to summarize why he didn't die successfully.
As he walked away, the courtiers dispersed as well.
Everyone was greatly shaken today, and they all wanted some peace and quiet.
As soon as he reached the hall's gate, Liu Jin called out to him.
His face turned red, his eyes looking at Ye Ning with great reverence.
"Lord Ye, impressive!"
He did not have many fancy words to express his admiration.
Liu Jin surrounded Ye Ning, as enthusiastic as fire.
He was truly impressed.
Lord Ye was a true hero!
Why didn't he see that before?
Indeed, as the ancients said, gold would shine one day.
Lord Ye, who was a true gold, he would shine brightly.
"Find me a quiet place, I want to sit alone for a while."
Ye Ning interrupted Liu Jin's endless chatter.
"Okay!"
Liu Jin agreed immediately.
The imperial palace was very large, with many quiet places.
Liu Jin led Ye Ning to a quiet palace, then left and guarded the door himself.
This was the only thing an ordinary person with the lowest status like him could do for a hero.
Ye Ning sat in the palace for three hours.
Half of that time was spent on getting to know his body better.
First, his literary spirit entered his body, truly making him one step closer to the sky.
From a weak scholar, he immediately gained immense power.
If the Holy Academy hadn't been sealed and Confucianism hadn't declined, he wouldn't have achieved just this much.
The remaining literary spirit was not dissipated but piled up in Ye Ning's body, and in the future, there would be a time to use it.
For Ye Ning, all of this was a ticking time bomb.
If he could, he would have liked to get rid of his literary spirit.
But he couldn't.
So he was very worried.
"Now, it's even harder for me to die."
He sighed repeatedly.
Ye Ning used the remaining half of his time to think.
He sorted out the whole thing and wanted to know why he didn't succeed in dying?
Was it because the civil and military officials were too useless?
Was it because Cao Meng was too weird?
Was it because Ji Mingyue interfered in other people's affairs?
Was it because He Yuanyi lacked courage?
It seemed like he could blame them, but it also seemed like it had nothing to do with them.
"Can't blame me, can I?"
Ye Ning shook his head.
He finally came to a conclusion.
It was just a coincidence.
He didn't know much about them, just had too much confidence when he just transmigrated.
Failing to die might just be a little unlucky.
But could luck be forever bad like that?
"Anyway, wanting to die is not a difficult thing."
"Life never stops, always seeking death!"
Ye Ning took a deep breath and walked out of the palace's gate.
Liu Jin had been guarding here for three hours and was on the brink of exhaustion, but he still persevered with gritted teeth.
"You're still waiting here?"
Ye Ning was from modern times and was a bit unfamiliar with the ancient style.
Seeing that Liu Jin was still standing guard here, he felt a little touched.
"It is an honor for an eunuch like me to stand guard for a hero like Lord Ye!"
Liu Jin smiled and spoke.
Ye Ning patted his shoulder and sighed in his heart.
He didn't want to be a hero in the first place, but he didn't say it out loud.
He followed Liu Jin and went straight to the palace gate.
It was already late in the day, and officials couldn't stay in the palace overnight, as was customary.
Ye Ning had no intention of staying in the palace either.
"Be careful, Lord Ye!"
Liu Jin bowed and performed a ritual.
Ye Ning adjusted his robe and stepped out of the palace gate.
However, he didn't notice the respectful and admiring of the imperial palace guards to him.
Walking a few dozen steps forward, Ye Ning felt dazed.
He didn't know when a large crowd of scholars had gathered outside.
He glanced at them, but couldn't see the beginning or end of the crowd.
The scholars saw Ye Ning and their eyes glowed with fervor.
They all bowed down, saying.
"Anger and scolding of the Immortal Sect, repayment to the emperor, with sincerity and dedication, one can be called a sage of ancient times... Lord Ye, superb!"
The sound of the scholars's praise was like a mountain roar and a sea wave, rushing towards him.
For a moment, Ye Ning was stunned in place.
His mind felt like it was blocked by something.
