Under the gaze of everyone.
Lin Fan left the main hall openly.
No one dared to stop him, not even a squeak; all eyes followed Lin Fan as he departed.
Once Lin Fan had left.
The main hall erupted once more.
The crowd avoided Yi Tianqiu's corpse disdainfully, each person was indignant and angry.
"Clan Leader, we absolutely cannot let this brat leave the Shennong Clan! If this matter is spread by him, it might not look good for the Shennong Clan."
"I agree with this viewpoint, letting this brat leave so easily is a boon to him."
"Please, Clan Leader, imdiately order the Shennong Clan's million troops to kill him."
"Ti is of the essence, we cannot hesitate any longer, Clan Leader!"
The crowd spoke one after another, each fearing to speak out, the main hall instantly descended into chaos.
Clan Leader Yi Shengtang sat tiredly on the main seat, his left hand lightly supporting the position of his temple, his sharp eyes scanned the agitated crowd, finally landing on Yi Tianqiu's head rolling on the ground.
The noise beside his ears was obnoxious, like countless flies flying around him, extrely annoying.
He only wanted to check on Yi Qingyu's situation.
Yi Gangmu noticed the flash of helplessness in Yi Shengtang's eyes, slightly furrowing his brows, following the latter's gaze, he too looked at Yi Tianqiu's disgruntled head.
He indeed had no fondness for Yi Tianqiu.
During his ti in Wentian City, he had witnessed the other's despicable behavior, sothing he, as a soldier, despised.
So from beginning to end, he hadn't said a word on behalf of his fellow clansman Yi Tianqiu.
He even secretly admired Lin Fan's courage.
Braving the Shennong Clan alone.
That wasn't sothing just anyone could do.
Over the years, he had only seen two people.
One was Mo Chen, who sought treatnt for his wife's illness.
The other was the young Lin Fan.
But Yi Tianqiu was dead, and the matter was already concluded.
Those who had said nothing while Lin Fan left were now loudly demanding troops to kill Lin Fan.
It's ridiculous!
He took a deep breath, holding Yi Tianqiu's corpse with one hand, carrying his head in the other, and walked to Yi Shengtang, taking a slight bow, then turned abruptly.
Facing the densely packed crowd, exuding a violent aura.
Imdiately!
The main hall fell into silence.
Countless eyes simultaneously looked towards Yi Gangmu, the scene before them terrifying like a purgatory, leaving the crowd stunned and surprised.
Yi Shengtang sighed deeply.
He understood that Yi Gangmu was helping him to intimidate the crowd, so he opened his mouth slowly: "The matter is already finished, if anyone remains unconvinced, they are free to seek revenge on Lin Fan. Anyone who harbors deep hatred against Lin Fan because of Yi Tianqiu's death, I will not obstruct."
"Let's end today's matter here; I am tired."
Yi Shengtang said his piece and beckoned to Yi Gangmu.
Yi Gangmu hesitated, then stepped forward.
Yi Shengtang leaned in and whispered a few words in his ear, then stood up and left without looking back.
"Yes!"
Yi Gangmu replied, carrying Yi Tianqiu's corpse, and disappeared out the door through the crowd.
Leaving behind a roomful of heads, staring at each other, unsure of what to do.
...
Lin Fan didn't leave the Shennong Clan directly, instead returning to yesterday's residence to find Yi Siyu.
Siyu should still be asleep.
Lin Fan thought to himself.
Yi Tianqiu had already been killed by him, and he wondered how Yi Siyu would react upon learning this news.
He decided not to tell Yi Siyu for now, to prevent her emotions from spiraling out of control.
Though Yi Siyu always defended him, Yi Tianqiu was still her relative.
For so reason.
He felt a trace of guilt in his heart.
The deaths of her father and brother were related to him; it was due to him that Siyu's family was ruined.
Lin Fan stood in front of the house, sighed deeply, and pushed the door open.
"Siyu, I..."
He entered the house, speaking while looking toward the bed.
However.
He was instantly stunned.
The bed was empty; the bedding was neatly folded.
Lin Fan's heart skipped a beat, standing there dumbstruck.
A breath later.
He finally ca to his senses.
"Siyu?"
Lin Fan called out, quickly walking over. There was indeed no sign of Yi Siyu on the bed.
He circled the room, continually calling Yi Siyu's na.
But.
Still, there was no response.
The room was empty, only Lin Fan's anxious calls were echoing.
Having confird that Yi Siyu was not in the room.
He hurriedly dashed outside, looking around.
But there was no sight of Yi Siyu anywhere, as if she had vanished from the Human World.
Lin Fan's heart imdiately panicked.
If sothing happened to Yi Siyu, what would he do...?
Could it be because he insisted on killing Yi Tianqiu?
Lin Fan's heart felt as if being torn apart, and he sat dejectedly on the doorstep, his eyes empty, looking at the ground, his hands and feet cold.
"Siyu..."
He twitched his eyes slightly, feeling a hint of regret.
At this mont.
A gentle voice ca.
"Young Master Lin."
Lin Fan suddenly lifted his head, looking over joyfully.
However.
Only endless disappointnt and loss awaited; standing before him was soone dressed as a maid, but it was not Yi Siyu, leaving him disappointed.
"What is it?" he said irritably. His mind was only focused on Yi Siyu's whereabouts, unable to care about anything else.
Just after asking.
A letter was handed to him.
The maid said softly, "Miss Siyu left a letter for you."
Lin Fan was stunned, quickly taking the letter, and looked up at the maid.
"Where did Siyu go?"
"Miss Siyu has already left; she instructed to give you this letter when she departed. She also asked to tell you not to worry; you'll understand once you read it."
Lin Fan stared at the letter in his hand, the elegant handwriting undoubtedly Yi Siyu's.
"Did she say where she was going?"
"No."
Lin Fan felt a bit of loss, slightly furrowing his brows, and then asked.
"When did she leave?"
"Miss Siyu has been gone for half a day... I seed to see her heading in the direction of leaving the city..."
"Leaving the city?"
Lin Fan expressed his confusion.
Half a day ant just when he was beckoned by Yi Shengtang to the main hall?
Could it be that Siyu had already awakened then...?
It ant she had long decided to leave today...
Lin Fan's throat felt sore as he looked in the direction of leaving the city, tightly holding the letter in his hand.
"Young Master Lin... I've conveyed everything Miss Siyu told to... If there's nothing else, I'll take my leave..."
Lin Fan remained unresponsive.
Still staring unblinkingly towards the direction of the city gate.
After a long while, he finally ca back to his senses.
Hurriedly unsealing the envelope, the three pages were densely packed with neat handwriting, as if he could see Yi Siyu's charming face.
The envelope bore traces of stains, probably from tears shed while Yi Siyu wrote the letter.
Lin Fan gently caressed it, feeling indescribable heartache.
"Brother Lin Fan, I don't know how to face you, so I can only choose to leave."
This was Yi Siyu's farewell.
She spoke of her immaturity in the letter, expressed her suffering, and confessed her feelings for Lin Fan.
But she ultimately chose to leave.
Not wanting Lin Fan to suffer, nor herself.
"When I feel worthy enough, I'll naturally appear before you."
"I believe, no matter what, we will et again, won't we?"
"Brother Lin Fan, I'm leaving, do not miss ."
