Bitter Meat (part 2)

"I...I'll go to Big Brother Chu to intercede." He pursed his lips, and said to Yang Yifang, "Master Yang, Bai Hua will be leaving first."

Yang Yifang clasped his fists at him as a salute. He waited for the people from the Lianhua Hall outside to come in and surround their young master to leave, then turn around and come back. With a gloomy face, he walked around several times before walking to the gallows to see the condition of Mo Ren.

Mo Ren's condition was not very good, he had not fully recovered yet from the previous punishment, and at present, there was no physical strength left, and even his aura was faint and weak.

Yang Yifang looked at the guard's pale face, and was really afraid that he really wouldn't make it through, thus he couldn't help whispering in Mo Ren's ear, "It's almost over, Young Master Bai Hua is willing to plead for you, just hold on for a while and it will be over.”

Mo Ren was tortured by the continuous pain, until his sanity was emptied out. He merely nodded vaguely, but he knew that Bai Hua wished that he would really collapse under the punishment and go crazy. Without doubt, that person would not really "plead for mercy" for him.

The effect of the medicine was far from exhausted. In a daze, he felt that his internal organs seemed to be twisted into a bloody mud, but unfortunately, it was impossible for this drug punishment to make people pass out and be relieved.

All he could do was endure, endure…

Subconsciously telling himself that it doesn't hurt.

It doesn't hurt, this time it's not an order from the Master. He was not hated by the Master, and he could still return to the Master after the punishment…

That's great, this is already quite good. After all, it is a thousand times better than the patience without hope or warmth in the past.

Just when Mo Ren's consciousness gradually began to blur, a loud report suddenly woke him up.

"Reporting to Hall Master, the Palace Master is here———"

With a heart that pounded heavily, Mo Ren hastily opened his eyes, ignoring the pain all over his body. He was extremely flustered.

Master is here!? How long has it been since, how could the Master......

He was clearly prepared to “act first, report later”, and then to apologize to his master afterwards. But unexpectedly…..

Looking again, Yang Yifang had already pushed open the iron door of the punishment room, and was going out while arranging his robes, ready to welcome the Palace Master.

“.......”

Mo Ren opened his mouth in vain, unable to speak a word.

He watched Yang Yifang's back quickly disappear, feeling cold in his heart. He thought of Chu Yan's warm and nice words for him an hour ago, extremely cherishing him that he was not even allowed to kneel.

Imagining his current appearance again, Guard Mo only felt that his world was spinning for a while——

He thinks he's done for.

****

Chu Yan didn't know how it came to be like this.

He only heard from Yang Yifang, who’d come to greet him respectfully, report that Young Master Bai had just left and that Mo Ren was still being punished. He knew that something had happened, however it was the kind of something that he didn’t want to see the most.

The moment he opened the iron door, all he saw in his eyes was the person on the gallows, who had clearly tried his best to endure and restrain himself. His pale fingertips were firmly clasping the scaffold, but his thin and slender body continued to tremble uncontrollably. And that charming fragrance that belonged to Bai Hua that he hated so much, still lingering on the high chair.

Chu Yan staggered, he supported himself with the door frame to stop the dizziness in his head. He couldn't imagine what had happened here before he came here.

Didn't he ask Mo Ren to deal with Bai Hua? What the hell went wrong!?

How could this happen......What’s the difference between this and the previous life!!

But now was not the time to investigate the whole process of things. Chu Yan raised his hand, and released his true Qi, it tore the air like a sharp weapon, causing the ropes on Mo Ren's hands and feet to instantly break.

Mo Ren leaned against the torture frame without saying a word, and his body slid down limply.

Chu Yan hurriedly hugged him into his arms. The guard's pale face was covered in cold sweat, his eyes were closed, his eyebrows furrowed, and his bitten blood-stained lips were all completely exposed under his eyes.

At this moment, something in Chu Yan's brain seemed to break instantly, and his heart felt very painful that it was as if it was almost torn apart!

In the previous life, this person also knelt in front of him with a torture rack on his back, with breath that was already weak, and blood under the body that had gradually soaked through the snow……

The entire punishment room was instantly filled with cold and ruthless killing intent. Chu Yan was about to go crazy, his face was cold, he turned to Hall Master Yang and shouted, "What did you give him to eat?! Where’s the medicine!!”

Although Mo Ren was severely tormented by the pain at this time, he was still conscious. Seeing Chu Yan like this, he was immediately bewildered.

He expected that his master would be angry, but he really didn't expect Chu Yan's reaction to be so intense......

Originally, his thoughts were all focused on enduring the pain raging in his body, trying to make Chu Yan see his discomfort as little as possible. Now he couldn’t care less of it any more, and was in a hurry to get out of Chu Yan's arms, then said incoherently, "Master, appease your anger…...you, you listen to this subordinate’s explanation....."
