Chapters 968 and 969: Let's Go Home
Li Yuan pinched Ye Fei's cheek helplessly: "You are my partner. If I don't think about you, who else can I think about?"
Ye Fei grinned at him and clasped his hand tightly.
“Let’s go home.” Li Yuan lowered his eyes to meet her gaze.
We're going home.
Four simple words, yet full of warmth.
Ye Fei was overwhelmed with mixed feelings. In the past, when she left Lingfeng Academy and the Ye family, she was ostracized and hated by the world because of her special identity, and once thought that she had nowhere to go.
But at this moment, she understood.
Home is where you can be with your loved one.
...
Holy Church.
Council Hall.
The Great Divine Envoy sat on a high throne, dressed in a pure white robe, holding a scepter in one hand, his gaze fixed on Yu Muhan and the Seven Divine Envoys who were bowing before him.
"That's settled then."
The Great Divine Envoy said coldly, his gaze lingering for a moment on the young woman's face with a hint of meaning, "Four Divine Envoys, you can guarantee the mission will be completed perfectly, right?"
Yu Muhan raised her eyes, her red lips slightly upturned: "Great Divine Envoy, I have been a member of the Holy Church for more than five years, and my loyalty to the Holy Church is evident to all."
Are you questioning me?
The woman's question was direct and sharp. The Great God Envoy narrowed his eyes, rubbed his fingertips on the scepter for a few seconds, and looked directly into her dark, abyss-like eyes.
After a brief eye contact, the Great Divine Envoy suppressed his displeasure: "Indeed. Over the years, you have made great contributions to the Holy Church, and I should not question you."
Upon hearing this, Yu Muhan smiled slowly again: "Great Divine Envoy, I have something to say, and I hope you will listen attentively."
"Oh? What do the Four Divine Envoys have to say?"
"The Holy Lord has been dead for several days, and the Holy Order's glory is no longer what it once was. Therefore, the Seven Divine Envoys must unite even more. Mutual suspicion will only increase the possibility of losing one's life in the operation."
The Great Envoy nodded and said frankly, "Yes, you're right. The worst thing between colleagues is distrust. Just now—I was judging a gentleman by my own petty standards."
"Honest advice is hard to hear but beneficial; I hope the great envoy can understand it."
"Alright, now that the plan is clear, the two divine messengers may begin to take action."
Yu Muhan and the Seven Divine Envoys bowed to the Great Divine Envoy, and then left the Council Hall one after the other.
The doors to the council hall were slowly closed. The Seven Divine Envoys breathed a sigh of relief, turned to look at Yu Muhan, and shook their heads helplessly, saying, "To prevent future troubles, the Great Divine Envoy still ordered us to assassinate Yun Fusang... Could it be considered a self-fulfilling prophecy that I joked with you last time?"
A night breeze blew in, gently ruffling Yu Muhan's hair. She raised her hand and tucked her hair behind her ear: "As long as Yun Fusang lives, the Yun clan will not be completely wiped out. I am not surprised that the Great Divine Envoy has made this decision."
"Even if you were asked to kill your former friends, wouldn't you feel sad?" Hearing her calm tone, the Seven Envoys asked her in confusion.
Yu Muhan smiled slightly, but the smile didn't reach his eyes: "Am I really that untrustworthy that even the Seven Divine Envoys would doubt me?"
The seven divine messengers choked for a moment: "...That's not what I meant."
“I know my limits.” Yu Muhan narrowed his eyes. “As long as I have a place to stay, I’m willing to do any kind of dirty work.”
"After all—dead men don't talk."
She emphasized each word of her last sentence.
As soon as she finished speaking, she turned and left—therefore, the Seven Gods did not see the storm-like ruthlessness brewing in her eyes.
It was like an extremely destructive force that engulfed her.
