Our Binding Love: My Gentle Tyrant
chapter-259

Initial Signs of Insanity (1)

Ye Mu looked up and saw the sticks descending down on her. She wanted to dodge but it was if her legs were rooted to the ground. Shortly after, the sticks retreated, before eventually trying to ruthlessly strike her again!

Yet something bizarre happened. The sticks broke into two pieces before they could even touch Ye Mu. She glanced over at the people who attempted to hit her. With a glare, the opponents immediately retreated in fear, their hands clutching the splintered sticks. No one dared to make eye contact!

Ye Mu rigidly tried to stifle her desire to choke the other person’s neck. Meanwhile, the rest of them weren’t aware of her internal battle.

“Come on everyone! Don’t be afraid of this demon girl! She is very slow. We can attack her together and subdue her!”

One monk took the lead while the rest followed. Although they thought it was risky to do so, they still followed him and approached Ye Mu!

“Don’t come near me!” Ye Mu gritted through her teeth. Her expression was horrendous, but her voice was very quiet. The monks didn’t hear her warning, and continued to move closer, tightly gripping their weapons!

On one end was Ye Mu, who was about to erupt at any moment…. On the other end, was a son who was willing to die…

Zhao Yiqin was so angry when she heard what the Silent Monk said. Truly infuriating! But this was her son, she couldn’t actually kill him!

“You truly want to go out there?!”

Hearing her question, the monk maintained his firm expression, “I’m going, please let me go!”

Seeing him like this, Zhao Yiqin’s eyes suddenly turned red!

“Fine, if you want to leave, you can go!”

Sad bitterness and fury colored her face, “I am truly pitiful, to be thrown away so you can go and help a stranger! I took great lengths to come up with this method to dispose of Ye Mu. As she started visiting you at Tian Shou Temple, do you have any idea how much internal force you’ve wasted on her? The emperor guarded her so intensely. I’ve slaughtered hundreds of people to try to get this opportunity! Yet you, my dear son, you are trying to save my enemy from death? You aren’t trying to help me, you are killing me!”

The Silent Master started walking towards the doorway.

As Zhao Yiqin shared her grievance, eventually she bursted into tears in front of those around her, “Once you leave, if you aren’t able to save her, you will be killed! If you save her, once Mo Linyuan comes and sees the state she is in, do you think he will let me go unscathed? Either way you or I will die. Do you even see me as your mother? You didn’t act this way when you were a kid!”

When he was a child, he was quiet and obedient. He didn’t know of her identity at that time, but he was always very happy every time he saw her.

But ever since then, he changed. He became distant and indifferent.

Before when he was willing to mistreat Ye Mu, his heart still held his mother dearly. However, he was unable to forgive her. Now, as Zhao Yiqin cried tearfully, the Silent Master was torn. On one hand was his biological mother. On the other hand was his friend. What should he do?

“No matter what you say, I already made the mistake once, I cannot make the same mistake again.” the Silent Master confirmed his conviction and continued out the doors.

“Silent Master! No… Jun’er, you cannot go!” Zhao Yiqin hugged him from behind, “Your father wouldn’t let you treat me this way! Your dear father would never make me cry like this. Jun’er, your father’s death, you couldn’t have forgotten what you promised him before he died right?!”

Having brought up his father, the Silent Monk’s pupils sharply tightened. Just as Zhao Yiqin said, his father would have never wanted her to shed a single teardrop… he also promised his father that he would take good care of her…

Dear father…

But Ye Mu…

He shut his eyes tightly, but he could no longer take another step forward.

His persistence and conviction collapsed in a split second. He could no longer recognize himself anymore.

Ye Mu… I have truly let you down in this lifetime!

Please forgive me.
