The Ye Family.
Deep within the forbidden grounds.
Ye Ningxue, completely naked, carried the equally naked Luo Xiu toward the pool.
Four Ye Family Elders sat cross-legged on the four stone platforms protruding from the water's surface, their faces filled with heartache as they watched Ye Ningxue.
"Xiao Xue, have you truly decided?" one of the Elders asked.
Ye Ningxue's gaze was resolute. "For my master, I'm willing to do anything."
...
「At the same time.」
In the forest, a considerable distance from the pool, Elder Ye sat in a wooden chair, staring toward the pool with eyes full of melancholy. Elder Ye stood by his side, sighing continuously.
When the three women had brought Luo Xiu to the Ye Family, Elder Ye had examined him and found his condition to be extremely dangerous. In the ensuing silence, Elder Ye slowly said, "If it were an ordinary person whose organs and meridians were corroded to that extent, they would have long since perished."
