Xiao Ye was undoubtedly going to die.
He could not let this man change the perception of the people on Blue Star.
"Qing Rou, you..."
Hao Duoyu wanted to comfort Ye Qing Rou, but saw she was already devastated.
"This is Brother Xiao's heart."
Ye Qing Rou's hand covered her chest, tears streaming down her face.
Even though she had escaped the cycle of reincarnation and was no longer in that body,
She still felt as if Xiao Ye's heart was with her.
In this instant, the memories of reincarnation became incredibly clear.
Countless chaotic images surged forth.
"I'll buy you cake from now on, Rou Rou."
"Rou Rou likes Brother Xiao the most..."
"Brother Xiao, pinky promise, no cheating for a hundred years."
"Then Rou Rou will give this candy to Brother Xiao..."
The sorrowful gaze in Xiao Ye's eyes before he was brought to the judgment platform.
Ye Qing Rou finally understood.
She had made Brother Xiao suffer so much.
When she was in the world of reincarnation, it was always Xiao Ye who protected her.
Ye Qing Rou wept heartbrokenly, her grief piercing to the core.
Even Liu Qiao Qiao couldn't bear to watch, "You didn't cry when you were seriously injured and almost died fighting the demonic creatures back then, but now you're this heartbroken over a damned man?"
Her tone was one of disdain for Ye Qing Rou, but she no longer heard her usual retort.
Ye Qing Rou gave a bitter laugh. How could Liu Qiao Qiao understand what Brother Xiao had sacrificed for her?
Chu Fei advised gently, "Qing Rou, if you can't bear to watch, you should go back and rest for a while."
"Xiao Ye's memory trial isn't over yet..."
Upon hearing this, a flicker of hope ignited in Ye Qing Rou's eyes.
Brother Xiao was still suffering on the judgment platform, she couldn't let him endure such pain!
"I will definitely save Brother Xiao!!"
She turned her head to look at Xiao Ye on the platform, and Ye Qing Rou charged forward madly.
The energy from the female warrior erupted instantly, creating a whistling sound.
The entire populace was nearly affected, but fortunately, the elders of the judgment platform waved their hands and set up a protective shield.
Liu Qiao Qiao frowned, "Quick, stop Ye Qing Rou!"
They unleashed terrifying power, capable of confronting an army of demonic creatures!
Like arrows, they pursued Ye Qing Rou.
"Get away from me!"
Ye Qing Rou's eyes were red. She didn't care about Xiao Ye's status on Blue Star.
She only knew that this was her Brother Xiao.
This was the Xiao Ye who had risked his life to protect her.
However, in her eyes, there was now only Xiao Ye.
She reached Xiao Ye with all her might and reached out to touch his helmet.
"I will definitely find a way to save you, I will definitely protect Brother Xiao..."
Boom!
The female warriors behind her used their power, terrifyingly potent!
They attacked Ye Qing Rou, trying to stop her reckless actions.
Fearing she would harm Xiao Ye, Ye Qing Rou could only protect him desperately.
The intense clash of attacks, if encountered by ordinary people on Blue Star, would result in instant death.
Liu Qiao Qiao quickly grabbed Ye Qing Rou's hand and said, "Do you know what the judgment platform is? You're going against all of us for a traitor like Xiao Ye!?"
"Even if he did many wrong things on Blue Star and killed many people, he shouldn't die like this..."
Ye Qing Rou let out a sob. Xiao Ye's identity was an awkward one; he was the greatest shame of Blue Star.
But no matter how great Brother Xiao's mistakes were, she was willing to bear them with him.
Liu Qiao Qiao sneered, "You need to see clearly. No matter how good he was to you, he's still a traitor despised by our Blue Star. If Xiao Ye doesn't die, how can we justify ourselves?"
As the two argued, Xiao Ye, perhaps affected by the shockwave,
Suddenly showed a pained expression on his face.
Ye Qing Rou's eyes widened, "What's wrong with Brother Xiao?"
Xiao Ye, wearing his helmet, was no longer as calm as before.
His brow was tightly furrowed, as if enduring some pain.
Elderly figures ascended the platform, they were the elders of the judgment platform.
They said solemnly, "This is a memory extractor refined by demonic creatures, it's clearing this memory of Xiao Ye..."
Ye Qing Rou's delicate body trembled, her face turning pale.
She remembered the side effects of memory extraction by demonic creatures.
She knew what this meant.
Ye Qing Rou knew better than anyone that Xiao Ye would completely forget everything about her.
His soul would also be damaged, and his cultivation would plummet.
"I don't want Brother Xiao to forget me, I don't want this...!"
Ye Qing Rou cried out helplessly, her eyes filled with tears, hoping everyone would save her Brother Xiao.
However, the elders' faces were cold.
No one in the crowd spoke up for Xiao Ye...
The female warriors blocked Ye Qing Rou, preventing her from moving forward.
"Please, share half of his sin with me, I don't want him to die!"
Ye Qing Rou despaired and cried out, she just wanted to protect her Brother Xiao, would they accept her identity as a female warrior in exchange?
Even if Brother Xiao was a devil in the eyes of the world, she didn't want Xiao Ye to suffer such punishment.
"Brother Xiao can't forget me, don't let him forget me, this is like me killing him myself!"
Tears streamed down her face, Ye Qing Rou's heart ached incessantly.
But, she could only watch, seeing Xiao Ye's pained expression.
Seeing Xiao Ye's aura plummet and all memories of her disappear.
Ye Qing Rou felt so heartbroken she wanted to vomit blood. It was her, she had lost her Brother Xiao...
"—Ah!"
Her unconscious cries, everyone saw Ye Qing Rou's regret and guilt.
Xiao Ye's aura dropped, and it was unknown how many more memory exposures his soul could withstand.
Seeing Ye Qing Rou crying so sadly, some people in the crowd felt a pang of pity, "Why don't... we give Xiao Ye a quick death? Torturing him like this is too cruel."
Liu Qiao Qiao smiled enchantingly and objected, "Why should Xiao Ye be given a quick death? He deserves to die, I want to wait until his soul is scattered!"
...
[Host, the rewards have been issued, shall we proceed to edit new memories?]
Xiao Ye checked the rewards given by the system, which enhanced his physical attributes.
The system gave Xiao Ye +1 mental power.
+1 soul purity.
This allowed Xiao Ye to maintain focus while exposing memories and remain unaffected.
In the eyes of outsiders, his strength seemed to have plummeted.
His aura weakened.
In reality, his soul had actually strengthened!
The most obvious manifestation was that Xiao Ye could capture every expression and movement of everyone present with great detail.
The injuries Xiao Ye sustained from the female warriors earlier were all healed in this instant.
His strength had increased by half, at least twice the power of the female warriors.
Hearing Liu Qiao Qiao's words to the crowd, a thought flickered in his mind.
She would be next.
Xiao Ye didn't rush to edit Liu Qiao Qiao's reincarnation but quickly checked the memories unlocked in the gray slots.
However, after quickly editing for a while, Xiao Ye found something was amiss.
[Why is the gray slot only half red?!]
Red indicated memories that could be edited.
But the previous gray slots hadn't all turned red.
System, [There isn't enough cleansing energy. The traitor's memories are what you care about most. You may need to cleanse them again to turn them completely red!]
So troublesome.
But...
It was enough.
Hao Duoyu inexplicably felt a chill run down his spine. His gaze shifted to the judgment platform, as if he saw Xiao Ye smiling maliciously at him.
His heart jumped.
"Everyone, look quickly! This time, Xiao Ye's evil deeds on Blue Star are being revealed!!"
