Our Binding Love: My Gentle Tyrant
chapter-271

Ironclad Chains (1)

Ye Mu’s eyes widen, “What about it?” She originally already knew about Zhao Yiqin’s ending. There may be some slight differences from the original historical novel, but the difference wasn’t significant.

Seeing how Ye Mu’s surprised expression contrasted with her effortless, What about it? made Mo Linyuan wrinkle his eyebrows tightly. He suddenly reached out with one hand to lift Ye Mu’s chin up to intently scrutinize her.

“So then… you can predict the future?”

Ye Mu wanted to tell him everything… but for some reason, seeing his grave expression right then, she felt some things she shouldn’t say… that she cannot say.

Mo Linyuan saw how quiet Ye Mu had become. With furrowed brows, he asked her again, “Who exactly are you?”

He remembered, since the beginning, Ye Mu had no reason to help him. She seemed to hold firmly to her own beliefs, regardless of what he did. She always pursued justice with no second thoughts and gave support to others wholeheartedly. Why is that? For what reason was she doing that for?

Back then Mo Linyuan had never thought of this question before. But now, the answer to this question already began to taunt his consciousness. He felt somewhat doubtful.

Ye Mu regarded Mo Linyuan and said gravely, “I have already said before, I am someone sent by the Gods to help you. Although this may not be exactly true, it is close enough to the truth.”

However, she didn’t say the second half of the sentence. Which was, once she obtained the City Boundary Map, she would return to her home. That was to say, there was a time limit to her aid.

Mo Linyuan didn’t believe in destiny. But this was Ye Mu’s second time saying these words, which swayed his own beliefs.

“Help me? Then tell me something… how long will you be helping me? In other words, someday you could disappear… just like how you appeared before me?”

Just the thought of this possibility… Mo Linyuan’s eyes held discontent as the arms around Ye Mu tightened.

Ye Mu saw how he had a horrible expression.

“I…” She was just about to reveal the truth, but she only said one word before her heart abruptly trembled!

Witnessing Ye Mu’s reaction as she covered her chest, Mo Linyuan started to panic, “What’s wrong? Mu’er? Mu’er?!”

Ye Mu’s expression became unsightly. Her murderous spirit started to rise. The moment she opened her eyes again, her pupils turned a horrendous red!

“Call the Silent Master and bring him here!” said Ye Mu.

She violently pushed Mo Linyuan aside. She noted the timeframe and predicted her outbreak is not far away. But the murderous spirit came so quickly and violently; Ye Mu felt that this time, she may not be able to maintain her rationality!

Mo Linyuan protested, “No way! That Silent monk works for Zhao Yiqin. Who knows what he will do to you if we asked him for help?!”

He wanted to say more but, the moment he saw Ye Mu’s expression, all his words were clogged in his throat…

…because Ye Mu was crying.

She was suffering. She felt that she could lose her mind at any moment. Although Mo Linyuan didn’t trust the Silent Master… She was desperate to the point of tears.

She didn’t say a single word, but Mo Linyuan suddenly felt a twist in his heart. He clenched his eyes closed, then rushed to command the servants,

“Quickly, bring the Silent Master here to see me!”

The Silent Monk, having been summoned abruptly, knew what could have happened. Mo Linyuan seized him the moment he entered the secret chamber of the palace!

“‘I’m warning you, if you behave obediently, I will let you and your mother live. If you dare try anything, you can watch your mother die a lingering painful death! Do not test me on this!”

The Silent monk’s pupil shrank. If it hadn’t been an emergency, the emperor wouldn’t be so panic-stricken and threaten him like this.

The monk remained calm as he replied, “This time, I will save her…”

“You better!”

“…However, only under the condition that no one else is allowed to enter. Otherwise, I won’t save her!”
