Gu Momo and Li Zhanting met Ye Qingfeng's scarlet eyes head-on.

His deep eyes flashed with excitement, as if he had used all his strength to shout out his voice.

Gu Momo knew that time was of the essence, but she still couldn't help asking one more question:

"And what about you? You knew perfectly well that everyone here was from the Emperor-Slaying Alliance, so why did you still chase after them?"

Unexpectedly, Ye Qingfeng's bloodshot eyes no longer held the hatred and disgust he had shown in front of Gu Momo and Li Zhanting. Instead, they held a sense of relief and no regret.

He gazed intently at Gu Momo and Li Zhanting, every word he uttered filled with anguish:

"Ha, judging from your looks, you already know I was deliberately putting on an act in front of you!"

"However, Gu Momo and Li Zhanting, you probably will never guess that my eldest brother Ye Xichen, second brother Ye Lanyu, and fourth brother Ye Wanjun have actually been putting on an act for you from the very first moment you entered the Shao family."

His piercingly cold eyes stared at Li Zhanting, his expression revealing a deep and unmistakable hatred for him.

"However, our hatred and resentment towards you and Gu Momo back then were genuine; there was no need for acting. We were furious back then, furious that we had finally managed to drive Ye Meng out of the Ye family, only to have you bring her back in order to investigate the Emperor-Slaying Alliance. You should know how much effort we put into getting Ye Meng out of the Ye family back then..."

Because I love her so much, I wish I could get her away from this place of trouble as soon as possible.

Because they loved her so much, they couldn't bear to see her suffer any harm. They even went so far as to use the most vicious words and the coldest expressions to hurt her, all in order to make Ye Meng completely lose faith in them and leave the Ye family forever.

That's why they were so angry when they saw Ye Meng return to the Ye family, why they spoke harshly to her again and wanted her to leave the Ye family as soon as possible, and why they vented their anger on Gu Momo and Li Zhanting.

Ye Meng is the only daughter left behind by the eldest son of the Shao family. How could they bear to hurt her...?

Gu Momo and Li Zhanting stared intently at Ye Qingfeng's despairing expression, then frowned and asked:

"Where is Ye Meng now? Who took Ye Meng away?!"

Ye Qingfeng's eyes suddenly sharpened: "Who else could it be? Of course, it's the leader of the Emperor-Slaying Alliance!"

Gunfire continued in the distance, but it couldn't mask Ye Qingfeng's hatred for the Emperor-Slaying Alliance: "Our Shao family loves to reproduce and has countless descendants, but the eldest son of the Shao family only left behind one daughter, Ye Meng! Therefore, Ye Meng is the rightful heir of the Shao family!"

"The leader of the Emperor-Killing Alliance hates our Shao family to the bone, so how could he possibly let Ye Meng go?"

"So I beg you, you must save Ye Meng after you get out! I beg you!!!"

In the end, Ye Qingfeng's eyes were filled with nothing but tears of grief, and his cold, piercing gaze seemed to want to convey all the emotions in his chest to Gu Momo and Li Zhanting.

Gu Momo and Li Zhanting were deeply shocked. Gu Momo said coldly, "Even if you didn't say anything, we would still save Ye Meng! So what about you now? Aren't you coming with us?"

Unexpectedly, Ye Qingfeng snorted coldly: "Our Shao family has never been incompetent! Ever since we learned from our investigation that the Shao family was wiped out because of the leader of the Emperor-Slaying Alliance, we have wished the leader of the Emperor-Slaying Alliance dead!"

"Over the years, we have meticulously planned and schemed for so long, but we never expected that we would all die tragically at the hands of the Emperor-Slaying Alliance! All my relatives died at the hands of the leader of the Emperor-Slaying Alliance. Even if it costs me my life, I will fight them to the death!"

As he finished speaking, his icy gaze swept over Gu Momo and Li Zhanting:

"So, Li Zhanting, Gu Momo! Goodbye forever!"

"I'm willing to give my own life in exchange for you treating Ye Meng with sincerity from now on!"

"I entrust the rest of Ye Meng's life to you!"

The moment he finished speaking, he turned around, drew his gun, and charged into the battle, his eyes filled with an indescribable sense of no regret and no resentment.

He led the Shao family's assassins in a fierce battle against the members of the Dark Night Alliance, from the initial gunfight to the subsequent hand-to-hand combat.

Each time, they fought with all their might, wishing they could perish together with the members of the Emperor-Slaying Alliance.

In that instant, he seemed to feel the passion of those days again, the passion he had shared with his brothers as they rebuilt the Shao family.

At that time, they were severely injured and had just escaped from a deadly abyss.

But in their eyes, besides the heavy sorrow, there was also the hope of surviving a catastrophe.

He would always remember that his brother, Ye Xichen, standing imposingly in front of them.

At that time, he seemed completely unaffected by the sadness; on the contrary, he was full of energy.

"So what if our families are destroyed and our lives are lost? Have you forgotten? We are the sons of the Shao family! As long as we keep the light in our hearts, the foundation of the Shao family will never be extinguished. We are like those sparks, and there will always be a time when we can illuminate ourselves and others."

But at that time he was extremely sad, and he sadly wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes:

“But brother, Dad said our only purpose is to reproduce, and those who are incapable will be abandoned…”

Before he could finish speaking, Ye Xichen's gentle hand landed lightly on his head.

He looked up and met his brother Ye Xichen's eyes, which shimmered like stars: "Since the Shao family has been destroyed by fire, let those cruel rules of the Shao family go with the wind. We are living, breathing people, not cruel pawns in the hands of adults, aren't we? We must rebuild a new family and live a completely new life!"
