Chapter 1193 (Departure)
Gong Yue gently bit her lip, understanding why Ye Juetian wanted to become stronger, because Yiyi was already very strong.
Ye Juetian had to become stronger to be worthy of Yiyi!
Gong Yue didn't say anything but forced a smile.
Of course, Ye Juetian could see it and whispered, "Gong Yue, I will be responsible for you if I come back alive."
"Where are you going?" Gong Yue became nervous as soon as she heard this.
Ye Juetian took a deep breath. "I'm going to a place full of primordial divine beasts and fierce creatures, a place where I might face a life-or-death situation."
"Can you not go?" Gong Yue couldn't believe it. 'You're willing to go die for Yiyi!!! How willingly!'
"Gong Yue, I have to go. I owe too much," Ye Juetian said in a low voice. He owed Yiyi too much, and he had caused her grievances. Of course, there was also Gong Yue, this woman.
No matter what, he and her had a relationship. That was a fact, and as a man, he had to take responsibility.
Gong Yue remained silent with her head down.
"If I don't come back, I'll have my big brother release you," Ye Juetian said in a low voice.
"Shut up! If you don't come back, I'll just bash my head against the wall here!" Gong Yue roared, and tears flowed uncontrollably.
In the past, Gong Yue did value the Ye family a bit because of their strength. Now, she only truly liked the man in front of her. For him, Gong Yue was willing to give, hoping that her sacrifices could be repaid.
Ye Juetian didn't expect Gong Yue's reaction to be so intense, feeling a bit surprised.
"Gong Yue..."
"Go, I'll wait for you to come back! No matter how long it takes, if one day I'm released, I'll know you won't be coming back, and I'll accompany you!"
Hearing these words, Ye Juetian trembled all over. Wasn't this touching?
Ye Juetian wasn't made of stone; he could feel Gong Yue's sincerity. He reached out, gently wiping the tears from Gong Yue's cheeks. The tears still carried warmth, making Ye Juetian feel heavy.
"I will come back, Gong Yue. When the time comes, I'll take you out," Ye Juetian said earnestly.
Gong Yue, with tears streaming down her face, felt Ye Juetian touching her face so seriously for the first time. Finally, she realised that everything she was doing now was worthwhile.
"Juetian...be careful!"
"Okay, I will." Ye Juetian made a firm decision and turned to leave.
The sound of Gong Yue's sobbing echoed in the prison cell, and Ye Juetian left without hesitation.
Outside the prison cell, Ye Juetian saw his big brother standing there, slightly stunned.
"Big brother?"
"Little Tian, in a few days, you will embark on your cultivation journey. This time, it may take several years, maybe even decades. It's uncertain. Take this broken jade with you. If anything happens to Yiyi, this jade will shatter, and then you can go and save her."
Ye Juetian reached out to receive the broken jade, expressing gratitude, "Big brother, thank you."
Patting Ye Juetian's shoulder, Ye Hua whispered, "You will always be my younger brother."
"Big brother, if something happens to me, can you release Gong Yue? Let her go back."
"Okay."
Ye Juetian didn't expect his big brother to agree so readily. "Thank you, big brother," he said, hugging Ye Hua.
With a slight smile, Ye Hua patted his brother's back, "Be careful. Mother and I are waiting for your return."
"Yes, I will definitely come back!"
"Big brother believes in you."
The relationship between the two brothers was elevated at this moment.
Honestly, Ye Hua didn't want his younger brother to take risks. It was indeed dangerous if he didn't intervene. But if he did, it would be meaningless, better to stay here and have some fun.
Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it was the day for everyone to depart.
During these days, the team remained quiet, cherishing the moments before departure.
No one knew if they would come back alive.
On this clear morning, the weather was pleasant, but it was just the illusion of the prosperous Voidless Empire. Outside, the cold wind howled.
Inside the palace.
Ye Hua was dressed neatly, and so was Empress Baizhi. The atmosphere was somewhat heavy.
Dongfang Yuer appeared today. Ye Juetian seemed unable to bear it, but there were various worries in his gaze.
For the past few days, Pigley behaved well, refraining from causing trouble. Pigley understood that His Majesty was in a bad mood, and it wasn't the time to stir up trouble.
When His Majesty calmed down, it would be the beginning of his mischief.
As for Tang Wei, she seemed to have become more determined. Only by gaining powerful strength could she understand why Wei Chang had betrayed them.
Lu Hong and Yi Hong shared the same thoughts. Uncle Wei couldn't be sentenced, and they would surely find him later to inquire about his motives.
"If Uncle Wei has really betrayed us, then we also have the strength to compete with him! Of course, this is the worst-case scenario."
Ye Hua stood up slowly and addressed everyone, "All gatherings must come to an end. I respect your decisions! I hope you can overcome yourselves and defeat your opponents! Return with glory and honour! I will be here to welcome you back!"
"Long live Your Majesty!" The crowd respectfully shouted.
Ye Hua sighed, "Is everything packed?"
"Everything is ready!" The departing individuals replied.
Ye Hua waved his hand, and with a flick of his finger, a white vortex appeared nearby. From the vortex, a beautiful world could be seen. However, one should not be deceived by its appearance; the more beautiful something looks, the more danger it might hold. For Ye Hua and the Seven Deadly Sins, it was a playground, but for others, it was hell.
"Say anything you need to say now," Ye Hua said in a deep voice.
Jue Tian seemed to want to entrust something to Dongfang Yuer, but he couldn't bear to do it himself. In the end, it was Brett who went to entrust Dongfang Yuer.
Lu Hong hugged his wife, and Yi Hong also held Zi Shan tightly in his arms.
Tang Wei and Li Hun had a tougher time—one betrayed, and the other was kidnapped. But they were both strong and courageous.
Ye Hua approached Ye Juetian and patted his shoulder, saying, "Little Tian, give it your all!"
"Yes! Big brother, I won't embarrass you," Ye Juetian replied earnestly.
"Very good! Truly my younger brother!" Ye Hua was satisfied with his brother's attitude. This was what a man should be like!
Looking at his subordinates, Ye Hua felt that for the next few years, they might not be able to celebrate the New Year together or have a family dinner.
But the sorrow of parting would be joyous when they reunited. Ye Hua looked forward to that day.
Ye Juetian, Tang Wei, Lu Hong, Yi Hong, Dongfang Yuer, and Li Hun stood beside each other.
Ye Zizi shouted, "You must do your best! I'll be waiting for you to come back and play together."
Jue Tian looked at Dongfang Yuer and finally spoke, "I'll wait for your return, Yuer."
Dongfang Yuer smiled. With these words, she was determined to return even if she had to defy death.
