3544 Beyond Saving

The person next to that man saw this and quickly stepped forward, “Yiping, don’t act impulsively, Ye Ling is still alive.”

Song Yiping froze and stopped shaking the man. “What did you say? Ye Ling hasn’t been burned to death?”

“No, no, because the other major families insisted on witnessing her cremation, so…” Before the man could finish his sentence, he was harshly cut off.

“What cremation! How can she be cremated if she’s not dead!” Song Yiping shouted angrily.

“Yes, yes, I misspoke,” the man sighed helplessly, “They all insist on witnessing it, so they’ve chosen tonight to burn her alive, right at the peak of Hollow Rise Mountain.”

“I won’t let them burn Ah Ling alive! I must save her! I must save her!” Song Yiping, his eyes scarlet, exclaimed. He rushed forward madly but was held back by several people.

“Calm down!” The older man sternly shouted, staring at him coldly, “Even your Song family didn’t stop this act of burning Ye Ling alive! Besides, your father has already proposed to break off your engagement. Your marriage to Ye Ling has been annulled!”

“No! Impossible! In this life, I have chosen only her! If they dare to burn her alive, I will die with her!” He shouted angrily, veins popping up on his hands.

Xuanyuan Mo Ze and Feng Jiu stood to the side, astonished. Who could have imagined this turn of events? Burning a woman who was still alive to death because they thought she was possessed by evil spirits? Were these reclusive families out of their minds?

“Yiping, if you act impulsively, you won’t save Ah Ling and you’ll also put yourself in danger,” said the man Song Yiping had previously grabbed by the collar. His sharp eyes locked onto Song Yiping. “If you rush in now and alert the rest of the Ye family, do you believe you won’t be thrown into the dungeon without even a chance to see Ah Ling?”

The older man said, “That’s right! If you rush in without thinking, you’ll get locked up in the dungeon and won’t be able to save her. You won’t even get to see her face.”

When Song Yiping heard what they said, his body went limp and fell to the ground. “Then what should I do? Just let her burn to death? She’s still alive; you are her family, her relatives. Why aren’t you stopping this? Why aren’t you?”

All four of them looked down and couldn’t say anything. It’s not that they hadn’t tried to stop it. They were just powerless to do so. Because they had tried to stop it, they were assigned to guard the Ye family’s boundary, explicitly forbidden from intervening in Ye Ling’s situation.

They were not the most powerful or highest-ranking members of their family, so even if they tried to stop it, no one would listen to them.

Unexpectedly, they encountered Song Yiping, who had returned from outside. Fortunately, they were the ones on duty; otherwise, Song Yiping could have been chased away or even arrested, making it impossible to get any news about Ye Ling.

At this moment, Song Yiping, who was lying on the ground, had a sudden gleam in his eyes, as if he had abruptly recalled something. He turned around abruptly.
