Chapter 723: Turbulent Times 2
Chi Ye poured a cup of hot water and placed it in Ye Fei's hand: "Hmm, go ahead, what's the matter?"
Ye Fei held the cup tightly, her gaze lingering blankly on the water inside. After a long while, she said, "I want to go back to the human realm, back to the Ye family."
Upon hearing this, Chi Ye frowned in displeasure: "You still want to go back to the human realm? Do you know how many forces in the human realm are watching you right now? Going back is tantamount to walking into a trap."
"I know." Ye Fei nodded gently, her expression calm. "Even so, I will return to the Ye family."
"What are you planning to do back at the Ye family?" Seeing her resolute attitude, Chi Ye couldn't help but feel a little suspicious. She wasn't the kind of person who would be unreasonable or pester others. The fact that she chose to return to the Ye family at this time meant that she must have something to do.
Ye Fei took a sip of hot water to moisten her dry throat and replied, "I'm going to find my grandfather and ask him about what happened to my mother back then."
She felt that only Ye Rui could tell her the truth about this matter.
Ye Jingyao hates her and would never tell her everything.
On the contrary, Ye Rui is the only person in the Ye family who loves the original owner, so he will definitely choose to tell the truth.
Whether for the original owner of this body or for my reborn self, I must give this body an explanation.
Chi Ye's expression softened slightly: "If you want to know the truth about what happened back then, I can have A Zi investigate for you. You don't need to come in person."
“Chi Ye, I know you’re worried about me, but regarding my mother’s matter, I have to discuss it with my grandfather in person.” Ye Fei looked at Chi Ye with serious eyes.
Chi Ye was silent for a moment, then said quietly, "What if the truth you hear is different from what you imagined?"
Ye Fei was stunned.
The atmosphere fell silent.
Chi Ye stared at Ye Fei's somewhat lifeless eyes, sighed inwardly, and was about to cover her with the blanket when he heard the girl slowly say, "I've prepared for the worst. Chi Ye, let me go."
Chi Ye paused, his gaze shifting to her pale face.
The girl's eyes were filled with unconcealed sorrow and helplessness. Her fingers gripped her sleeve tightly as she slowly spoke, "I'm begging you..."
Chi Ye's golden eyes narrowed sharply, and she clenched her fists, her body tensing with rage.
Scarlet...
Fei, with such a strong personality, was actually begging her...
Even if the road ahead is an endless abyss, we must move forward without hesitation.
Even if she's covered in wounds and shattered to pieces, she doesn't care... right?
Chi Ye slowly calmed the anger surging within him, cupped her face in his hands, and said, word by word, "Fei, you don't need to compromise yourself for that little bit of truth. In this world, anyone can come to me for help, but you are the only one who cannot."
Ye Fei remained silent, only staring at Chi Ye with her slightly reddened eyes.
"I'll go with you, okay?" Chi Ye said.
Ye Fei's eyes lit up: "You agreed?"
Chi Ye said helplessly, "If I don't agree, are you planning to go back to the human world even if you have to leave?"
Ye Fei pursed her lips upon hearing this and did not refute her words again.
"Alright, you should rest now. Once you're rested, you can go wherever you want." Chi Ye helped her lie down again.
Ye Fei lay on the bed, staring at Chi Ye for a long while before suddenly saying, "Chi Ye, thank you."
After saying that, she closed her eyes and fell into a deep sleep.
Chi Ye stood quietly by the bed, watching the girl's sleeping face, when Qing Zhu's voice came from outside the door at just the right moment: "Your Highness."
Stepping out of the room, the gentleness on Chi Ye's face, which he had shown when facing Ye Fei, vanished. Qing Zhu bowed and said, "Your Highness, the Ye family of Lingyun Kingdom has announced that they will be exiling Miss Ye."
