Chapter 1274: Early-Stage Exceptional State (1)
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The situation facing the Wen family was different from the Murong family. Back then, the Wen family had been the ones directing the Lin family's actions behind the scenes. If Grand Lord Hong Lian and his wife were to find out about this, would the Wen family ever know peace again?
Hence, Grand Lord Hong Lian has to disappear from this world. Only then can the Wen family's safety be guaranteed!
"You two better don't do anything rash," Elder Ouyang eyed the two as he spoke. "The Governor is furious now. If you do something that can't be undone, the Governor might absolve your positions as Great Protectors. Weigh the possibilities, you should reconsider this properly."
Elder Wen laughed icily. "Reconsider? There's nothing to reconsider, Grand Lord Hong Lian must die!"
No matter how angry the Governor was, he would not possibly destroy the Wen family as a consequence! Grand Lord Hong Lian, on the other hand, would actually do such a thing.
At this moment, Elder Wen never would have thought that his stubborn nature would cause a far more horrible conclusion than the destruction of their family in the future! Unfortunately, he would only begin to feel regret then. If he had curbed himself a little earlier, he might not have received such a tragic ending...
Murong Yang did not say anything more. However, it was very obvious that he had the same thoughts as Elder Wen.
They know that Grand Lord Hong Lian was the type of person who would harbor bitter resentment. If they allow him to live, there was a big chance that he would come to the Murong family home to deal with them...
Elder Ouyang furrowed his brows as he suddenly decided to sever ties with these two families. He does not want to be dragged down by their sins. After all, there was no bad blood between Grand Lord Hong Lian and him so he does not have any intentions of participating any further in this matter...
It was nightfall.
The glow of moonlight was as clear as water and all was quiet and still.
Qianbei Ye looked at the sleeping woman next to him and pulled her into a tight embrace. His lips then curled into a smile. "Yun'er, I'm sorry, I still have other important matters to complete so I will be leaving after this. Once I'm done with that, I'll come to look for you again!"
He thought that Gu Ruoyun was fast asleep which was why he had said those things. However, after he spoke, the woman, whose eyes had been shut, suddenly opened them. Her eyes immediately turned towards the man's beautiful face.
"Xiao Ye, you still won't tell me anything."
"Yun'er?"
Qianbei Ye was surprised. He did not think that she would still be awake. He cradled her figure firmly.
"The things that I need to do are far too dangerous. If you follow me, I wouldn't be able to feel assured of your safety."
"Xiao Ye," Gu Ruoyun lifted her eyes and stared at the man's peerlessly beautiful face. "Ever since I've decided to accept you, I've never hidden anything from you. You, on the other hand, had always chosen to solve everything on your own and you are unwilling to let me accompany you."
"I know that my powers aren't strong enough but I will keep working on it. As long as I can help you, I will increase my level of power quickly even if I have to risk my life."
Gu Ruoyun's voice was full of resolution and did not hold her usual cold manner. It was rather moving.
"Yun'er, I'm sorry." Qianbei Ye stared at the woman in his arms apologetically. "I..."
"Xiao Ye!"
Before Qianbei Ye could finish his sentence, Gu Ruoyun cut him off.
"We are engaged so that means that we'll have to face everything together! Besides..." Gu Ruoyun paused. "Weren't you injured recently?"
Qianbei Ye laughed bitterly. I couldn't hide my wounds from her in the end.
I had stayed away from her was because I didn't want her to see my injuries so that she wouldn't have to worry about me.
