The moment Gu Momo and the others entered, they were deeply shocked by the scene inside!
This place is like a huge vault, with endless space as far as the eye can see, like a magnificent underground world.
All sorts of rare equipment and even mutated medicinal materials are hidden here, along with countless dangerous experiments and scientific technologies that violate human ethics and morality. Any one of them could have a significant impact on the world today.
"I never expected that so many astonishing things were hidden here!" exclaimed the minister from Country Y, shocked.
“Miss Gu, your mother is truly remarkable. If these dangerous technologies were to leak out, it would likely be a disaster for science worldwide. Technology can be groundbreaking, but disasters can be devastating. Yet your mother was able to build such a massive underground castle here, burying all these technologies deep within. Clearly, your mother truly doesn't want these technologies to harm the scientific community!”
The predecessor of the Emperor-Slaying Alliance was the Heavenly Secrets Alliance, which was originally an organization spontaneously created to protect righteous people.
With its global influence, Rong Muhua, as the founder of the Tianji Alliance, would naturally not allow certain dirty technologies to expand unchecked.
Because some groundbreaking technologies, from the moment they are developed, are destined to endanger the world!
However, Rong Muhua spent a huge amount of money and resources to hide these technologies. How can one not praise her for her vision?
Just then, Rong Muhua's cold voice came from behind: "These things are not worth talking about. Everyone should be concerned about the situation inside! Momo, Zhan Ting, Wanrou, Zhan Feng, all of you come with me!"
Everyone turned their heads and saw Rong Muhua, dressed in a plain-colored long dress, striding towards them with her head held high!
She walked with a brisk pace and an upright posture, immediately catching the eye of everyone present as soon as she entered!
"Mom?" Gu Momo and Gu Wanrou's eyes were filled with shock. They quickly followed Rong Muhua inside, exclaiming in surprise:
"Mom? Your leg is all better now? Are you sure you don't want to rest for a bit?"
This was such a pleasant surprise to them; their mother had been lying in bed for so long, her muscles had inevitably atrophied.
But it's amazing that Mom was able to walk so quickly and get here safely!
"I'm fine! This is more important than my leg!"
A group of people rushed inside, but suddenly, Ye Rong's grief-stricken voice came from within:
"No?! Why not at all? Rong Muhua! Where did you hide Yue'er's things? Hand them over now!"
The crowd stopped in their tracks and saw Ye Rong standing frantically in front of the huge stone pillar. The area in front of them was empty, with only Ye Rong standing tall in front of the pillar, making him appear so humble and insignificant.
Rong Muhua gazed intently at Ye Rong's devastated face, his voice filled with endless regret:
“Actually, when you poisoned me back then, I had already guessed your identity. At that time, I knew that the true purpose of the Emperor Killing Alliance was probably to use the Blood Jade Ring to open this door and take away Shao Yue’er’s funerary items hidden inside.”
"But Ye Rong, it's a real pity that before I could tell you the truth, you had already put me into a deep sleep."
The cold voice reached Ye Rong's ears, but Ye Rong seemed not to hear it, and roared like a madwoman: "What funerary objects? Those are things she used when she was alive, not funerary objects at all! She's still alive, she's still alive, do you know that?"
Ye Meng gazed intently at Ye Rong's frenzied state, a hint of heartache appearing in her dark, bright eyes.
This is her uncle... no, her brother-in-law shouldn't be like this.
She could hardly believe that the man who had been so gentle with her countless times could be so mad.
He may have been infamous, but in her eyes, he was always that gentle brother-in-law.
“Uncle…” Ye Meng subconsciously wanted to step forward, but Ye Lingxiao gently pressed her shoulder down.
She turned around in a daze, only to see Ye Lingxiao calmly say, "His beliefs have collapsed, so even if you go there, it won't help."
Ye Meng froze on the spot, her eyes filled with heartache and reluctance.
"So many years have passed, and you still can't bear to accept the fact that she's dead?!" Rong Muhua's voice was cold and clear, each word seeming to shatter Ye Rong's fragmented illusions.
"You saw her die in your arms back then! Later, her body disappeared, the Shao family was destroyed and burned down—weren't those all your doing? But look at yourself now! Look at how many people you've implicated in all these years trying to avenge her! Are you still the person Yue'er hoped for? Do you still deserve Yue'er's love?!"
"Yue'er is kind and innocent by nature. If she knew that after her death you had helped her take revenge on so many people, she would probably never forgive you even in the afterlife! Ye Rong, so much time has passed, and the entire Shao family has died at your hands. Can you stop your path of revenge now? No matter how much revenge you take, Yue'er can't possibly crawl out of the ground alive!"
The cold voice struck Ye Rong's heart like a hammer blow, and in that instant, Ye Rong heard the sound of her dream being shattered.
The bloodshed and nightmare of that night more than 20 years ago kept replaying in his mind. That nightmare was like a demon, tormenting him for more than 20 years and leaving him exhausted!
He would always remember how happy his Yue'er was when she went to see Grandpa Shao:
She smiled and gently shook Grandpa Shao's arm, pleading, "Grandpa, please promise me, okay? I don't want to marry anyone else. Even if I were to get married, it would be to Ziyang. Anyway, I'm just staying here and not leaving. I'll leave whenever you promise me."
At that time, he stood quietly opposite Grandpa Shao, his back straight, fully prepared to fight against the old man.
Unexpectedly, Grandpa Shao's aged face was full of affection as he laughed heartily and rubbed Yue'er's head.
"Oh my dear granddaughter, the Shao family doesn't have many daughters to begin with. If Grandpa doesn't love you, who else will he love? As long as you're happy in your marriage, Grandpa will agree to whoever you marry! Grandpa would be overjoyed, how could he object?"
"However, I only have one request for Ziyang: Our Yue'er is the treasure of the Shao family. You must get married at the Shao family home with Yue'er. After the wedding, you will live at the Shao family home as before. The Shao family will give you a courtyard as a wedding gift."
That gentle and kind gaze made Ye Rong feel as if she were dreaming, so unreal.
Old Master Shao hated him to the core. After he came of age, he became powerful and secretly expanded his influence, making him a thorn in the side of the Shao family.
How could he possibly agree so easily?
