The situation became subtly delicate in an instant.
The odds of victory for both sides were clearly influenced by Shen Yue and Lin Yifei, but it was Yang Yao and Yue Yinping who were making the decisions.
Having lived two lifetimes, Lin Yifei saw through worldly affairs—rescuing Niu Gao was the priority for Yue Yinping, and killing Yang Yao was secondary. Although Yang Yao was a target Yue Fei wanted to capture, if it came down to weighing his life against Niu Gao's, Lin Yifei knew Yue Yinping would definitely choose to save Niu Gao!
That's why the Yue Family Army could stand firm in the world.
Not just for their bravery, but also for their righteousness.
The righteousness of brotherhood!
Niu Gao should not have been related to time travel. Releasing Niu Gao would not disrupt Shen Yue's plan and would allow history to stay on its proper course.
Lin Yifei made his choice in an instant, and just as he had predicted, Shen Yue showed no sign of opposition.
