Most of these words were spoken to Ye Zheng, who now had a death wish.
She survived when the entire Ye family was massacred.
She also survived the ordeal of collecting evidence in the back courtyard of the Chiang Kai-shek residence.
But……
It's really hard to bear being stabbed by someone you love most.
Upon hearing this, Ye Zheng finally burst into tears. The young lady was in tears, unable to control her emotions, and cried her heart out.
"Junior...Junior will follow your teachings." She choked out these words.
