Chu Yuntian became slightly agitated at this point, his eyes briefly closing before he spoke:
"But he is clearly the descendant of heroes, and should not suffer such humiliation!"
Chu Liyue paused for a moment upon hearing this, but still spoke in a deep voice:
"This is not a justification for his crimes; it only tarnishes the word 'hero'!"
Chu Yuntian nodded slightly upon hearing this and murmured:
"I understand, I understand..."
His eyes were slightly dazed, as if he hadn't yet recovered from those distant memories.
"How long has Grandpa been here?"
Seeing that Chu Yuntian had fallen silent again after speaking, Chu Liyue suddenly asked.
"Just arrived!"
Chu Yuntian answered without hesitation.
"If I were to lose to Chu Feihong today, what would Grandpa say?"
Chu Liyue stared coldly into Chu Yuntian's eyes and said in a deep voice.
"Liyue..."
Taking a deep breath and straightening his back, Chu Yuntian said solemnly:
"Grandpa came here today not to save anyone, but to prevent the killing of fellow disciples from happening in my Chu family."
As he spoke, his gaze involuntarily drifted to Gu Hengsheng, who was lying on the ground, and Gu Junci, who was slightly stunned.
“I didn’t want you and Xiao Wujie to get involved in this. I was planning to handle tonight’s events myself.”
"Since things have come to this, I will not say anything more. I will not protect Fei Hong because of his identity. His life will be taken by the law, and I do not want you to take that action."
"He is indeed deeply sinful, but Yichen is ultimately innocent. If he were to die at your hands, it would be yet another act of murder, and when would this cycle of revenge end?"
"I notified my old friend before I came. He will be here soon. Let the law handle the rest!"
After saying this, he sighed deeply, stared intently at Chu Liyue, and said nothing more, leaving her with space to think.
After a long silence, Chu Liyue nodded heavily.
Chu Yuntian then turned his gaze to Chu Feihong, his eyes filled with indescribable complexity.
Disappointment, helplessness, regret...
Finally, he closed his eyes and stopped looking at him, slowly uttering a sentence:
"Feihong, you really disappoint me..."
Chu Feihong fell silent for a moment upon hearing this, his face expressionless.
Just then, several military vehicles sped in, and an elderly man in a Zhongshan suit got out, followed by special forces soldiers in combat uniforms and wearing helmets and masks.
The old man stepped forward, looked at Chu Yuntian, whose face was full of complex emotions and who seemed to have aged ten years, and then glanced at Chu Feihong beside him, and fell silent for a moment.
This quiet atmosphere lasted for a long time before being broken by a few light coughs from Xiao Wujie.
His face was deathly pale, his body swayed slightly, and he was coughing lightly while covering his mouth.
Excessive use of magic to forcibly reverse the battle had taken a heavy toll on his mental and physical strength, and he now felt somewhat unable to stand.
Not far from him, a special forces soldier standing ramrod straight seemed to shift slightly, instinctively reaching out to help him.
But a figure swiftly grabbed Xiao Wujie's waist and pulled him into an embrace.
Seeing this, the old man in the Zhongshan suit no longer hesitated, patted Chu Yuntian's shoulder lightly, and then waved to the special forces behind him.
Several special forces soldiers quickly stepped forward and handcuffed Chu Feihong.
Just as he reached Chu Yuntian, Chu Feihong suddenly stopped, looked at Chu Yuntian deeply, knelt down, and gave Chu Yuntian a solemn salute. Then he followed the special forces soldier beside him and walked forward.
Chu Yuntian gripped the lion's head on his cane tightly with both hands until he got into the car, a few tears welling up in his eyes.
The engine roared, and the car quickly sped away into the distance, disappearing without a trace.
Chu Liyue picked up the weak and powerless Xiao Wujie and walked forward.
As she carried Xiao Wujie away, the boundless gloom receded like a tide, and Haijing Bay regained its original colors.
Dawn was breaking, and the sunlight would soon spill into every corner of this place...
