Chapter 685: Master, I'm so sorry
Li Yuan listened quietly without saying a word, as if waiting for Ye Fei to say something next.
Ye Fei stroked her chin, trying to make sense of the whole story: "First of all, my mother developed feelings for Ye Jingyao, but she couldn't reveal that she was half-human and half-demon. So when she referred to herself, she removed her surname from her name and changed it to 'Jiang Xun'. This was partly to hide the fact that she was the eldest daughter of the Tang family, and partly to avoid arousing suspicion. Ye Jingyao then naturally assumed that my mother's surname was Jiang."
"Later, my mother became pregnant, and her identity was exposed due to a certain incident. In a fit of anger, Ye Jingyao decided to separate from my mother, and only then did my mother see Ye Jingyao's true colors. After giving birth to me, she was chased by her enemies and had no choice but to bring me, still an infant, back to the Ye family, hoping that Ye Jingyao could take care of me..."
As Ye Fei was speaking, a green light suddenly flew out from her body, and then the green light transformed into a black-haired, blue-eyed girl—it was Hua Hua.
Ye Fei asked in surprise, "Hua Hua? Why are you out here?"
Hua Hua stood in front of Ye Fei, her clear voice carrying a hint of indifference: "Master, what you just said was only half right."
She paused, then said, "Jiang Xun, it wasn't out of desperation that I brought you back to the Ye family."
Ye Fei frowned: "What's the reason?"
"Because of his union with the demon race and Jiang Xun's one-sided concealment of the truth from him, Ye Jingyao gradually developed resentment towards Jiang Xun. Jiang Xun knew in his heart that he could not entrust you to the Ye family and originally planned to take you back to the Tang family to take care of you."
"But Ye Jingyao knew about this, and he kidnapped you again on Jiang Xun's way to the Tang family. Ye Jingyao hates Jiang Xun and he also hates you, which is why you were abused in the Ye family for more than ten years."
Ye Fei stood there in silence for a while, closed her eyes, and a cold smile appeared on her lips: "Ah... Hua Hua, now that you say it, I think you are right."
"Ye Jingyao wished my mother and me dead. My mother is kind-hearted. No matter how much she had no choice, she would never take me back to the Ye family, let alone entrust Ye Jingyao to take care of me."
She raised her cold eyes and stared straight at Hua Hua: "This is the ruthless Ye Jingyao. He will not allow any stain on his life."
Hua Hua lowered her eyes and said in a muffled voice, "Master, you've been telling me about the Tang family these past few days. I don't want to talk to you because I'm reminded of the me who couldn't protect you or Jiang Xun back then."
“If it weren’t for the Ye family’s actions that time, you would be the rightful young lady of the Tang family now.”
"If I had reacted faster back then, Ye Jingyao would have had no chance at all... Master, I'm so sorry."
Ye Fei put her hand on Hua Hua's shoulder and shook her head: "Hua Hua, this is not your fault, you don't need to apologize to me."
Hua Hua raised her green eyes, staring blankly at Ye Fei, and murmured, "Master..."
Ye Fei smiled and was about to continue speaking when Li Yuan suddenly covered her mouth, his sharp gaze sweeping around: "Someone is approaching us."
Hua Hua also sensed something, her pupils instantly turned into vertical lines, and her eyes became extremely sharp.
Before long, a group of masked men in black rushed over and quickly formed a circle, surrounding Ye Fei, Li Yuan, and Hua Hua.
Ye Fei noticed a clearly visible dark pattern on their black clothes and narrowed her eyes: "Are you from the Ming clan?"
