Chapter 313 Young Man on a White Horse Drunk in the Spring Breeze (Movie Version) 8
Xiao Ruofeng tacitly approved of Ye Dingzhi's resolute attitude and secretly made preparations to arrange for Ye Dingzhi to leave this place as soon as he recovered.
'Oh, so in the end Ruofeng let Ye Dingzhi go, and I in the scene didn't manage to recruit him?'
Xiao Ruojin stared at the large screen, her eyes slowly dimming.
It's happening again!
It seems that in Xiao Ruofeng's mind, those so-called friends and loyalty will always take precedence over his elder brother.
Even after he had made no attempt to hide his desire to recruit Ye Dingzhi, he still outwardly complied but inwardly wanted to help him escape.
Xiao Ruojin's dissatisfaction with Xiao Ruofeng grew stronger, but she immediately realized something was wrong.
That 'Xiao Ruojin' is most adept at understanding people's hearts. In just one meeting with Ye Dingzhi, she was able to grasp his thoughts perfectly and could lead him astray with just a few words.
How could such a meticulous person overlook such a crucial detail?
Xiao Ruojin suppressed her thoughts, raised her eyes again, and focused her gaze back on the big screen.
Ye Dingzhi has been quite troubled lately, and the source of his irritability is Xiao Ruofeng.
Ye Dingzhi believed that he and Xiao Ruofeng had reached an understanding regarding Xiao Ruojin's attempt to recruit him, so he didn't take it too seriously. He planned to leave as soon as his injuries healed.
But to his surprise, everything was relatively peaceful during the initial period of his recovery at Fengxiao Temple.
However, this period of good fortune did not last long. Xiao Ruofeng's attitude suddenly changed, and he began to spare no effort in persuading him to submit.
Even though he had repeatedly and explicitly refused, the other party did not give up. Instead, they appeared at Fengxiao Temple even more frequently, appealing to his emotions and reasoning with him, trying to persuade him from morning till night.
After a while, Ye Dingzhi became increasingly irritable and wished he could escape from this place immediately.
Unfortunately, his physical condition limited his movements, and he could only helplessly continue to endure Xiao Ruofeng's persuasion.
At first, he was annoyed by Xiao Ruofeng's words, but as time went on, he began to listen to some of them.
Although he could not fully accept the other party's point of view, he had to admit that Xiao Ruofeng's words did have some merit.
The Ye family was wiped out because of a false accusation by the King of Qing. Every night when he closes his eyes, he dreams of the Ye family's tragic state. His parents' faces are both blurry and clear in his dreams. His greatest wish in this life is to avenge the Ye family with his own strength.
But now he has fallen into the hands of the two brothers, Xiao Ruojin and Xiao Ruofeng, and has no other choice but to submit if he wants to survive. If he continues to refuse, he may not be able to save his life in the end.
Furthermore, King Jingyu and King Langya are rare forces in the Northern Li court that can rival King Qing. If they could help, it would be much easier to avenge the Ye family in the future.
Under such weighing of options, Ye Dingzhi's inner balance began to gradually tilt.
What ultimately made him decide was a piece of information that Xiao Ruofeng revealed to him:
'On the day of her wedding, Prince Jingyu's concubine suddenly fainted and has been ill and recuperating ever since.'
This news was like a thunderbolt, shattering Ye Dingzhi's mental defenses.
Although Wenjun appears weak, she is, after all, a martial artist of the Free Realm. How could she suddenly fall ill for no reason?
It was obvious that Xiao Ruojin was behind all of this. Because she had been delaying in agreeing to his demands, he took advantage of Wenjun's safety to manipulate her.
Ye Ding was filled with extreme hatred at this moment.
He hated Xiao Ruojin for being despicable and shameless, using Wenjun to blackmail him; he hated even more his own powerlessness, unable to take Wenjun away.
That night, Ye Dingzhi was so angry that he pointed in the direction of Tianqi City and cursed for half the night. Afterwards, he lay in bed hesitating and struggling for half the night.
The next day, sporting dark circles under his eyes, he found Xiao Ruofeng and nodded in agreement to submit.
"call."
Ye Dingzhi leaned back in his chair with dazed eyes, his confusion like a surging river, turbulent and difficult to calm.
The scene shows Xiao Ruofeng persuading Ye Dingzhi at that time, and he is also subtly persuading Ye Dingzhi watching the movie now.
There's no need to deliberately put yourself in his shoes or project your own image, because he and Ye Dingzhi in the picture are the same person, and their emotions and experiences are closely intertwined.
Ye Dingzhi glanced at Xiao Ruofeng with a complicated expression, and finally his gaze fell on Xiao Ruojin. A wave of emotion surged in his heart: Could it be that he had finally submitted to this person?
At this moment, Ye Dingzhi's heart was filled with confusion and bewilderment.
Xiao Ruojin, who was being stared at by Ye Dingzhi, looked at Xiao Ruofeng with a strange expression. He had never seen his younger brother like this before.
What exactly made Ruofeng, who always adhered to moral principles, so persistent in persuading Ye Dingzhi, even resorting to threats and using Yi Wenjun to coerce him?
This completely violated his younger brother's principles and stance, and was something he would never stoop to doing.
Is this change because of 'Xiao Ruojin'?
But after all these years, I haven't been able to change my younger brother. What ability does the person in the picture have that can make him change so much in just a few days?
Xiao Ruojin sighed regretfully. Since the main character watching the movie was Ye Dingzhi, he could not directly observe Xiao Ruojin's words and actions, and could only speculate in his mind.
In contrast to Xiao Ruojin's regret, Xiao Ruofeng was completely devastated.
How could he do such a despicable thing?
No matter what, he couldn't disregard morality and conscience and use Yi Wenjun's safety to threaten Ye Dingzhi.
What exactly happened in that world? How could it have changed me so drastically?
Xiao Ruofeng lowered his head in shame, not daring to look at Ye Dingzhi and Yi Wenjun to the side.
After some internal struggle and weighing of options, Ye Dingzhi arrived at the Jingyu Prince's Mansion under the guidance of Xiao Ruofeng.
He didn't show any sign of being forced into a corner; instead, he obediently lowered his stance, entered the study, knelt down directly, and clearly stated his purpose:
“Your Highness, I have come today for two reasons. First, to apologize for my past actions. Second, to express my sincere desires. I have no other wish in this life but to clear my family’s name and seek justice. If Your Highness is willing to lend a helping hand, I, Ye Dingzhi, will do everything in my power and swear to serve you to the death…”
As soon as Xiao Ruojin appeared on screen, Xiao Ruojin immediately became extremely alert, focusing intently on observing every subtle movement of Xiao Ruojin, afraid of missing any detail.
