Seeing Zhao Churan's pitiful appearance, Ye Qiu immediately softened.
But when Ye Qiu thought of Yu Jianjia's family members who died because of Zhao Churan's mistakes, he couldn't be warm towards Zhao Churan.
"You can leave now, this is none of your business," Ye Qiu said in a deep voice.
"Ye Qiu, I really know I made a mistake. Can we make up?"
Zhao Churan stepped forward and grabbed Ye Qiu's arm.
Ye Qiu shook off Zhao Churan's hand and said seriously, "It's impossible for us to make up because I find it hard to accept what you did."
Even if you truly meant well, you shouldn't have hidden these things from me, and now you've even caused someone's death. How can I possibly reconcile with you?
"But I..."
Zhao Churan hesitated, her eyes red-rimmed.
"You should leave now, I really don't want to see you."
Yu Jianjia gritted her teeth and said.
"Okay, I'm leaving."
Zhao Churan turned around and walked away step by step.
However, you could tell from her back view that she didn't want to leave.
After Zhao Churan had walked away, Ye Qiu said to Jianjia, "What she did this time was indeed wrong. Even if she didn't kill anyone or instigate it, she is still culpable."
"Yu Jianjia, if you're angry, I'll take the blame for her."
Yu Jianjia took a deep breath, lowered her head, and whispered, "I don't know what to do. I heard her explain the whole thing just now. To be honest, although I really want to hate her, I can't bring myself to do it. But if I don't hate her, I'll be letting my parents down. I'm in a lot of pain."
"I know you're hurting, Jianjia. Ultimately, it's all because you met me. You can vent your frustrations on me however you want, or you can tell me what you want, and I'll do my best to make it up to you. How about that?"
"Who is she to you?" Yu Jianjia asked.
"She is my woman," Ye Qiu said seriously.
Upon hearing this, Yu Jianjia was immediately stunned.
At the same time, not far away at the corner, Zhao Churan, who had not gone far, was in tears.
It turns out that Ye Qiu didn't really want to completely sever ties with him.
After a long silence, Yu Jianjia finally spoke: "Since that's the case, then I have nothing more to say. It's unrealistic for you to kill her, and it's even more unrealistic to kill you. I don't dare to, I don't have the ability, and I don't want to do it."
So, I'd like to make a small request, and I wonder if you'd be willing to grant it.
"You speak," Ye Qiu said, looking at Yu Jianjia.
After a few seconds of hesitation, Yu Jianjia whispered, "Help me give my parents a grand funeral. After the funeral, would it be alright if I could stay by your side?"
“Okay.” Ye Qiu readily agreed to Yu Jianjia’s request, but after agreeing, Ye Qiu added, “However, if you want to learn something, I suggest you go to the cultivation academy. After all, I’m usually very busy and probably won’t have much time to teach you.”
“It’s alright, I just want to follow you,” Yu Jianjia said.
Ye Qiu smiled wryly: "Alright, I promise you."
In the shadows, Zhao Churan also wore a bitter expression.
She naturally understood Yu Jianjia's thoughts.
She never expected that an accident would give her a little rival in love.
"Ye Qiu, if you let her stay by your side, what am I supposed to do?"
A very pleasant voice suddenly rang out.
Ye Qiu was startled and quickly looked up.
Under the streetlights, a petite figure drew closer.
Upon seeing her face clearly, Ye Qiu was immediately overjoyed and excited: "Ying'er?"
"Oh, the Great Xia Emperor actually remembers my name. I am truly honored."
Ying'er quickened her pace and came to Ye Qiu.
Compared to the past, Ying'er has matured a lot, but her beauty remains, and she is now even more feminine.
Ye Qiu still remembered that after the old master of the Dragon Palace passed away, he entrusted Ying'er to him.
However, a series of unexpected events later occurred, leading to the separation of Ying'er and Ye Qiu.
Ye Qiu had never looked for Ying'er, so now that Ying'er had returned, she was full of resentment towards Ye Qiu.
"Another one."
Zhao Churan, hidden in the shadows, gritted her teeth and stamped her feet.
Ye Qiu stared at Ying'er, and without saying a word, pulled her into his arms.
Ying'er wanted to struggle, but feeling the familiar scent on Ye Qiu, she couldn't bear to push him away.
But Ying'er wasn't going to let Ye Qiu off easily, and she opened her mouth and bit down on Ye Qiu's chest.
"Hiss, where did you learn to bite? Did you learn it from a dog?" Ye Qiu gasped.
“You learned from your master, yet you dare to call him a dog? Tsk tsk, you unfilial disciple, you are simply audacious.”
"What do you mean?" Ye Qiu was startled. "When did you go with my master?"
"When did you start paying attention to me again? Whether I'm still by your side or not, where I go, you've never cared or asked. So how could you possibly know, right?" Ying'er sneered.
Ye Qiu chuckled dryly: "Well... cough, it's good that everyone is safe and sound. Let's go back to the palace first. We'll talk about it when we get back. Since you went with my master, I have a lot of questions for you."
"I'm not going. I came back to see if you, you heartless bastard, are dead yet. If you're not, I'll come back to check on you in a while. Bye-bye."
Ying'er turned and left.
"Stop fooling around." Ye Qiu grabbed Ying'er. "I'll apologize to you properly when we get back to the palace, okay?"
"You're really going to apologize to me? You're not kidding me? I think you're a bit unreliable."
"I'm not lying to you; a gentleman's word is his bond."
"Alright, a promise is a promise. Remember those four words. If you dare to fool me, I'll bite your thing off."
