In Haicheng, in a secluded and elegant courtyard.

Chen Yuqi was sitting by the window, her fingers unconsciously stroking the warm teacup, but her eyes kept drifting towards the direction of the courtyard gate, with a hint of anxiety that she could not hide.

As night deepened, a sense of impending doom seemed to permeate the air.

She knew where Qin Yang had gone and had a vague idea of ​​what was going to happen.

The feud between the Sun family is no secret.

But deep down, she still harbored a sliver of hope and a hint of unease.

Just then, the courtyard gate was gently pushed open.

A tall, upright figure, bathed in moonlight, slowly walked in.

It was Qin Yang.

His aura seemed even colder than when he left, like ancient ice, and within three feet of him, one felt enveloped by an invisible chill.

Those deep eyes were calm and still, yet they seemed to hold within them mountains of corpses and seas of blood.

Chen Yuqi's heart skipped a beat, and she quickly stood up, her voice trembling slightly.

"Qin Yang...you're back?"

Qin Yang's gaze fell on her, and his cold eyes seemed to soften for a moment, but quickly returned to their usual indifference.

He nodded slightly in response.

Chen Yuqi looked at him, hesitant to speak.

She could sense that Qin Yang seemed to be surrounded by a faint smell of blood. Although it was very faint, it could not escape her keen perception.

Her heart sank little by little.

After hesitating for a moment, she mustered her courage and asked softly.

"How is the Sun family...?"

Qin Yang didn't stop walking. He went straight to the table, sat down, and poured himself a cup of tea that had gone cold.

He picked up his teacup but didn't drink it. He just looked at the tea leaves floating in the cup, his voice as calm as if he were talking about something trivial.

"The Sun family is gone."

boom!

Chen Yuqi felt a loud bang in her head and was completely stunned!

That's all?

What do you mean by "gone"?

Her body swayed slightly, her face turned deathly pale, and she stared at Qin Yang in disbelief.

"What do you mean by 'gone'? Qin Yang, you..."

Her words were somewhat incoherent, clearly she was completely stunned by the news.

The Sun family!

That's the Sun family, who have been based in the capital for a century. Although they have declined in recent years, their foundation is still very strong!

How could it just disappear like that?

Qin Yang finally raised his eyes and looked at her, his gaze still calm.

"Literal meaning."

"From this day forward, the Sun family will no longer exist in the capital."

His tone was firm and emotionless, as if he were simply stating a given fact.
