The Western Reuters reported on the cruise ship’s encounter with pirates, calling it a miraculous scene, as the pirates who dared hijack were completely obliterated.
A mysterious man intervened, suspected to be superhuman.
This news caught the attention of many foreign dia outlets. Regrettably, the man’s appearance was captured only in profile and it wasn’t clear.
The underground website also republished this report, as it involved superhumans—a term used in the West to refer to strong humans akin to Martial Artists.
Soone comnted under the report, "Why do I feel this person looks a bit like Ye the War God, the world’s number one?"
"Impossible, right? He has vanished. But honestly, when you look closely, he does resemble him a bit."
"Quickly, find other photos to compare. I feel that Ye the War God has reappeared in the world; he hasn’t died."
The underground website was stirred up.
...
It didn’t take long to set foot on the land of China.
Ye Qiu gazed at this land, frequently recalling the people from the ancient land. Whenever he thought about it, he regretted—had he known the ancient land would be shattered by the Saint, how could he have sent the won and others there? Yet, as if fate was playing a colossal joke on him, the place he deed safe beca the most dangerous.
"What they said was right; I caused their deaths," Ye Qiu said self-reproachfully. It had been over three months, yet his heart still endured tornt.
The scene of the ancient land’s destruction was as vivid as if it happened yesterday, etched in his mind. He could even imagine the won’s panicked expressions at the mont the ancient land shattered, along with Caroline and her son. As a father, he failed his responsibilities, and now he could never see Caroline and her son again.
He felt guilty towards his uncle Dugu Qiujian, Jin Shanshun, Qin Feng, Cain, and all the ancient tribes in the ancient land. If it weren’t for him, these people would be living well now.
Thousands of lives perished because of Ye Qiu, including his beloved, family, and friends; Ye Qiu’s mood remained gloomy. He was supposed to protect Earth, yet couldn’t even protect his loved ones and friends—imagine how Ye Qiu felt.
At this mont, he was even reluctant to set foot on this land of China, as it would remind him of the people, and thinking about it would bring unbearable pain.
Nevertheless, Ye Qiu did enter China, despite not wanting to return, but here still were people who cared about him. He didn’t want them to worry too much. He had already let many people down, and didn’t wish to disappoint more.
Ye Qiu went directly to the Capital City and visited the Dragon Group, eting Old Acer and his ntor i Huiling.
"Where have you been these days, kid?" Old Acer almost cried upon seeing Ye Qiu, his eyes red. He thought he’d never see this disciple again.
"I’m sorry to have worried you; I’m fine," said Ye Qiu.
"It’s good you’ve returned. In the days you disappeared, your ntor was gloomy every day," i Huiling said, a bit wistfully.
"ntor, my elder has worried for half his life. I hope you take good care of him in the future, as Ye Qiu may not be able to do so," Ye Qiu replied.
"What nonsense are you saying, kid? What are you planning?" Old Acer sensed sothing in Ye Qiu’s words, feeling he was here to say goodbye.
Ye Qiu didn’t elaborate. Old Acer knew nothing about the ancient land’s destruction, and Ye Qiu didn’t wish to disclose it. Thus, upon hearing Ye Qiu’s words, Old Acer rely sensed Ye Qiu implying he would leave but couldn’t guess where.
"No need to worry about , elder. Oh, by the way, where’s Ye Zi? Why isn’t she in the Dragon Group?" Ye Qiu’s spiritual power scanned the entire Dragon Group, but he couldn’t find Ye Zi.
Speaking of Ye Zi, Old Acer sighed, "Isn’t it all because of you? During your absence, she set aside her work in the Dragon Group and devoted all her energy to finding you."
"That girl..." Ye Qiu could imagine Ye Zi’s worried expression. "Please tell her I’m fine and not to look for anymore," Ye Qiu requested.
"Kid, are you hiding sothing from ?" Old Acer asked.
Ye Qiu attempted to smile, hoping Old Acer wouldn’t overthink but realized he seed to have forgotten how to smile now. He tried for a long ti but couldn’t manage a grin.
"No need to worry about , elder. Now should be your ti to enjoy life." After speaking, Ye Qiu handed a bank card to i Huiling, "ntor, I hope you both take frequent walks and live happily," he said.
The money in the bank wasn’t a small sum. It was useless on him and would be of no use in the future, so Ye Qiu handed it to i Huiling for her and his ntor.
"Kid, still have a sense of filial piety," Old Acer said with satisfaction.
Ye Qiu didn’t stay long in the Dragon Group, nor did he et old acquaintances like Lin Wurou, Li Xiaohu, Mu Zhige, and especially Mu Zhige, who was Mu Wanqing’s brother—he didn’t dare inform Mu Zhige that Mu Wanqing might have already...
Eventually, Ye Qiu left silently. He went to the Capital City to find the Iron Triangle, Song Jie and the others, instructing them on certain matters. Whether it was Fang Sijie’s company or Longjia Group, he hoped all three families would assist in maintaining them.
Afterwards, Ye Qiu visited Lin Qiao’er’s ho, watching Lin Qiao’er’s parents from afar. He didn’t dare show himself because he couldn’t bear to speak. If he disclosed the news of Lin Qiao’er’s demise in the ancient land, it would be like the sky collapsing on her parents.
If so, why add to others’ burdens?
While the two were asleep, he used spiritual energy to cleanse them. Ye Qiu felt sorry for Lin Qiao’er, and if he could do sothing to feel better, he’d do so without hesitation. By improving Lin Qiao’er’s parents’ physical condition with spiritual energy, as long as they didn’t face any accidents, living a hundred years would pose no problem.
Leaving the Lin family, Ye Qiu headed to the Shangguan family, again not revealing himself, only watching from a distance.
The Shangguan elder was in good health, and the family appeared harmonious. Surprisingly, Shangguan Hong had returned to accompany the elder.
"I’ve wronged the Shangguan family and am too ashad to face their people," Ye Qiu thought, observing Shangguan Hong from afar. Shangguan Mingyue was the elder’s jewel, unmarried for years, but died because of Ye Qiu, causing surging self-bla within him.
Everyone believed he had vanished; it was better for him to disappear. Otherwise, how could he speak the brutal truth, which would only cause more heartbreak?
Ye Qiu lingered at the Shangguan family’s door for several hours before leaving.
After dealing with worldly matters, Ye Qiu stood atop a mountain, gazing at the vast mist, rembering those who once accompanied him, now gone.
"I will avenge you!" Ye Qiu’s mind conjured the Saint’s face. He wouldn’t seek an end—his life was no longer his own; it belonged to the won. He would seek revenge.
