Liu Qingcheng fell into silence upon hearing Ye Xunhuan bring up the past.
Previously, Su Guyan was like a thorn in Ye Xunhuan's heart that would ache whenever mentioned, but the death of his master and those brothers was like a knife, perpetually lodged in Ye Xunhuan's heart, bleeding endlessly, never ceasing.
Although Ye Xunhuan never mentioned or spoke of it, Liu Qingcheng knew that unless the person behind it was found, Ye Xunhuan would live in guilt for the rest of his life!
Yet Liu Qingcheng also knew that Longshou did not speak for a reason.
It might also be that Longshou himself didn't know, or perhaps the person behind was too terrifying, beyond Ye Xunhuan's reach!
If he tried to reach forcefully, he might be cut down by the opponent.
Thus Longshou said nothing, letting Ye Xunhuan resent him, revealing nothing.
But in any case, as long as Ye Xunhuan lives, this matter will not be closed.
"Xunhuan, perhaps Longshou has his difficulties." Liu Qingcheng couldn't help but defend Longshou: "You know, Longshou used to take good care of you and liked you a lot. If it weren't for this incident, you might have been the next Longshou!"
"Longshou?" Ye Xunhuan sarcastically smiled: "If I were Longshou, I would never be like him. Whoever harmed my people, plotted against me, once I know, I will not let them off!"
"And him? He's like a turtle hiding in its shell!"
As she spoke, Ye Xunhuan's voice gradually became hoarse, even his face seemed slightly ferocious: "My master and my brothers gave so much for this country, shed so much blood!"
"But what was the result?"
Unconsciously, Ye Xunhuan's fists slowly clenched, the veins on his arms bulging: "They were killed, betrayed by someone!"
"Silently dedicating, bleeding countless times for this country, risking our heads daily, fighting desperately with others, but what were those people, those big shots doing behind the scenes?"
"They were enjoying, indulging, playing power games, and their children, what are they?"
"Take Xiao Jiu, for example, what was Xiao Jiu doing then, and what was that Lin family waste doing?"
"That Lin family waste forced Xiao Jiu's fiancée to death, yet not a single person spoke for Xiao Jiu, not one!"
"Are we destined to rush to the forefront, expend all our blood, and risk our lives to protect them?"
"We are just as human, birthed by parents, just the same, why do I have to charge into battle while they manipulate power behind the scenes?"
Liu Qingcheng looked at Ye Xunhuan with a face full of bitterness.
As a member of Hidden Dragon, how could she not know the hardships behind the scenes?
Evidently, they are protecting this country and its people, yet no one knows of their existence.
They are like night warriors in the dark, unknown, silently giving, yet some still play power games, harming them!
"They play power games, I can ignore that, but scheming against me? I'll never endure it. If I find out who plotted against us, no matter who it is, I will kill!" Ye Xunhuan declared forcefully: "Even if they are Protectors of the Nation, I'll drag them to hell!"
As he spoke, Ye Xunhuan's emotions became even more agitated, the slightly dissipated murderous intent surged again, even his eyes turned blood red, his face looking ferocious.
At this moment, Ye Xunhuan seemed to return to the past.
They were surrounded, killers and mercenaries everywhere, searching for them, corpses scattered like a mass grave, and they hid in the bushes, not daring to move, even watching their brothers being slaughtered!
In an instant, fragments of memory replayed in Ye Xunhuan's mind like black and white film, causing the hostility in him to grow stronger.
Liu Qingcheng, sensing the change in Ye Xunhuan, was suddenly shocked, a bad premonition arose in her heart.
The next moment, Liu Qingcheng urgently looked at Ye Xunhuan, only to see his eyes blood red, his face grotesquely twisted, like a ferocious beast ready to devour, his body also slightly trembling.
At this moment, it seemed a bloodthirsty beast was about to emerge from Ye Xunhuan's body.
Seeing this, Liu Qingcheng felt a chill in her heart; she didn't expect that just by mentioning this, Ye Xunhuan was on the verge of breakdown, about to become another killing-focused self!
"Xunhuan, calm down, you need to calm down!"
Liu Qingcheng hurriedly parked the car, quickly unbuckled the seatbelt, and hugged Ye Xunhuan tightly!
"Don't be impulsive. They surely wouldn't want to see you , they definitely don't…"
At this moment, Ye Xunhuan's breathing gradually became rapid and chaotic, his face filled with a mixture of struggle and pain, making him look extremely distressed.
As if Ye Xunhuan was in a celestial-human battle within himself.
Ye Xunhuan breathed heavily, his forehead gradually soaked with cold sweat, his whole body shivering constantly.
After an unknown period, Ye Xunhuan slowly calmed down, but he was completely drenched in sweat, as if he had just been through a war!
"I'm fine now!" Ye Xunhuan looked at Liu Qingcheng, who was holding him tight, and slowly exhaled a deep breath, gently shaking his head, trying to banish the chaotic thoughts from his mind.
Hearing Ye Xunhuan's words, feeling his no longer trembling body, Liu Qingcheng slowly released Ye Xunhuan, looking up at him, worry still clearly visible in her eyes.
"Are you… are you really okay?"
"I'm fine!" Ye Xunhuan repeated once more: "Don't worry!"
Hearing Ye Xunhuan reassure her again, Liu Qingcheng let out a long breath: "I'll take you back to the Qin family now!"
"No need, I'll get off here, I want to walk alone."
"I'll accompany you!" Liu Qingcheng said, somewhat uneasy.
Ye Xunhuan shook his head gently, refusing again: "Don't worry, I'm fine. I just need some time alone, besides, do you think many people in this world can kill me?"
"Moreover, in my madness, I am invincible. If anyone confronts me, it is they who will die."
"Alright, but come back soon, or Auntie and the others will worry."
Ye Xunhuan nodded, said nothing more, then opened the car door and got out.
But will Ye Xunhuan really go back?
