Ren Zhong spoke while drawing his double sabers.
He made his attitude clear.
Even as he said this, Ren Zhong felt a sense of regret in his heart.
It's rare to find an absolute master, yet soone with such defiant and untad temperant. Even if he hadn't exposed his ties with the Yangsheng Ma Family, this was still a ticking ti bomb, no longer usable.
Yu Chengde saw this and could only breathe heavily in frustration.
At the sa ti, he turned his head sharply but found that the other nine people, including Song Mu'en, had also drawn their weapons, pointed directly at him.
Realizing the situation was hopeless, Yu Chengde gradually recovered his composure, aware that he had recklessly caused a great disaster.
His heart was filled with sha, feeling he had let Ying Hao down, while also harboring resentnt, unable to exact vengeance on the enemy in front of him.
Amidst the heavy emotions, Yu Chengde suddenly felt overco with sha and anger, he shouted, "Forget it, when I agreed to beco a Frozen Soldier for Mr. Ying, I willingly pledged to fight for him for life, and only aid for the right to continue my revenge upon awakening. Now I'm also restricted by my military identity, so what's the point of living! You big shots can play your gas of manipulations yourselves! I'm done with it!"
After speaking, Yu Chengde defiantly activated the self-destruct device in his armor, soaring into the air and detonating with a thunderous explosion, shattering into pieces.
Ren Zhong looked up at the sky, silent for a mont, unable to speak for a long ti.
Ma Xiaoling wasn't dead, just heavily injured, and even in a confused state while receiving treatnt, she was dissatisfied, muttering in dreams to accuse others of lacking martial ethics, only taking advantage of her unpreparedness in a hastily fought battle, unsure of the outco if they fought again.
In the deep night, Ren Zhong and Ma Dafu walked out of the hospital ward.
Ma Xiaoling was past the danger phase, old Ma's mood was slightly relieved, patting his chest, "It's fine, it's fine. Sigh."
Saying this, old Ma glanced at Ren Zhong beside him, seeing him still wearing a frown, instead started comforting Ren Zhong, "You don't need to bla yourself, earlier I heard about Yu Chengde's affair from you. Sigh, indeed, it was beyond anyone's expectations."
Ren Zhong responded with a hum.
Actually, what he cared about wasn't Ma Xiaoling's injury, but he was pondering over the fact that even if he passed this tiline, he would really have to give up on Yu Chengde next ti, which was extrely regrettable.
"Actually, Yu Chengde… well I shouldn't be calling his na directly. In short, he didn't know the complete truth."
Old Ma continued to mutter to himself.
Ren Zhong raised his eyebrows, seemingly catching so insight, quickly asking, "What's going on? Old Ma, tell !"
Ma Dafu hesitated for a while, then awkwardly said, "Actually, Yu Chengde was my great-grandfather's maternal grandfather."
Ren Zhong was stunned, "Wait, what? What did you say?"
"At the beginning, my great-grandfather took on the task of slaughtering the Naless City primarily to establish achievents, but also because being a collateral mber of the Yangsheng Ma Family, he faced so much exclusion that his heart twisted, leading him to want to go out and massacre. His mother was actually his daughter."
Ren Zhong: "This…"
Ma Dafu: "Additionally, within the Yangsheng Ma Family's combat talents, the chanical affinity and biological electricity sensing parts co from the Ma Family lineage, but the prematurely awakened battle instincts, they co from… Mr. Chengde. Of course, my great-grandfather was among the best of them, and it was from his generation onwards that our lineage beca mainstream in the Ma Family, seizing power. Strictly speaking, both Xiao Ling and I are his descendants. It's unfortunate that his nature was too fierce and emotional, never giving us the chance to acknowledge him. That's deeply regrettable."
Ren Zhong listened, secretly clicking his tongue.
Who would have thought such a story existed.
Thinking further, Ren Zhong found that Ma Xiaoling and Yu Chengde's temperants were indeed sowhat similar.
On the other side, Ma Dafu already started reminiscing bittersweetly, "Actually, this collateral status is considered a stain that our lineage doesn't want to ntion. So although we all knew in our hearts, we've kept it buried inside and never ntioned it outwardly. Mr. Chengde's daughter wasn't subjected to suffering either. Back then, our ancestors took his relatives as slaves but actually gave them a lot of freedom, raising them like ordinary household retainers. Later, my great-great-grandfather and his daughter spent every day together, naturally developing feelings, considered free marriage, mutual affection. Initially, this was acceptable, but my great-great-grandfather's father, also Mr. Chengde's enemy, was killed by him later. He was preserved by the Source Star Military Industry, leaving him alive but frozen until now. Prior to his freezing, the then Ma Family patriarch deliberately told him that his family was suffering to make him feel pain. The misunderstandings ran too deep, ah, sigh…"
Ren Zhong suddenly cracked a smile, "It's okay. With , all regrets can be redied."
Ma Dafu: "Huh?"
Though it's a minor matter, for soone like Ren Zhong who strives for perfection in everything he does, it's worth trying to rectify.
Anyway…
Hmm, in two days he will also die.
Two days later, Ren Zhong along with Song Mu'en and another Level Nine chanical Warrior died in battle outside the white sphere.
They earned what they sought.
