[Inside the Earth Fiend Sect.]
[Upon hearing the sound of Liang Yu's voice, Ruan Lianyue felt incredibly surprised.]
[She quickly hurried out of her room and indeed saw Liang Yu hovering in the air, a smile on her face.]
[Ruan Lianyue softly called out, Master.]
[Liang Yu flashed over to her side.]
[With deep emotion, Liang Yu expressed that neither Ruan Lianyue nor Ye Yu treated her as their own.]
[At the very least, she was still her master. Regarding such an important matter as marriage, why didn't they inform her?]
[If it weren't for hearing that Ze Tian, the Vice Sect Master of the Earth Fiend Sect, had stolen someone else's newly made wedding dress, Liang Yu might still be in the dark.]
[Since she had come this time, they must celebrate with a toast.]
[Ruan Lianyue looked stunned, unbelievably staring at Liang Yu. She couldn't find words for a long time.]
[She really couldn't understand.]
[Two months ago, the Zhou family was annihilated. Didn't all the cultivators who went to the Dragon Crystal auction at that time, including Liang Yu, die at the hands of Ye Yu?]
[How could her master still be alive?]
[Soon, Liang Yu also noticed Ruan Lianyue's unease.]
[Seeing a faint trace of blood on her bright red wedding dress, Liang Yu's smile instantly vanished.]
[A shocking thought surged in her heart.]
[Immediately, she coldly asked where Ye Yu was.]
[Ruan Lianyue opened her mouth but couldn't speak.]
[Liang Yu hurriedly pushed Ruan Lianyue aside and strode into the room.]
[When she saw Ye Yu's body on the bed, Liang Yu was struck as if by lightning, her whole body swaying, almost falling.]
[Ruan Lianyue followed closely behind. ]
[Just as she called out "Master," Liang Yu grabbed the wedding dress on Ruan Lianyue's body and angrily shouted, asking if she had killed Ye Yu.]
[Over a hundred years as master and disciple, Ruan Lianyue had never seen Liang Yu so furious.]
[She saw Liang Yu's eyes turn bloodshot, a strong aura of killing intent surrounding her.]
[Ruan Lianyue panicked and explained what had just happened, asking about Liang Yu's whereabouts after she attended the Zhou family auction.]
[Ruan Lianyue thought Liang Yu had also been killed by Ye Yu.]
[In her anger, she decided to assassinate Ye Yu in this way.]
[After hearing this, Liang Yu staggered back a few steps.]
[She let out a bitter laugh.]
[Ruan Lianyue sensed something was wrong with Liang Yu, but still refused to admit her mistake.]
[So she spoke, Ye Yu is the number one demon on the Central Continent, everyone must kill him.]
[How could Master know him?]
[After saying this, Ruan Lianyue was about to step forward to support Liang Yu.]
[But Liang Yu slapped away Ruan Lianyue's outstretched hands with such force.]
[Ruan Lianyue could clearly feel a sharp pain.]
[She looked at Liang Yu in disbelief.]
[No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't understand. Why was Master so furious today?]
[In Ruan Lianyue's memory, Liang Yu had always been a gentle and calm person.]
[Every ten days or so, she would bring all sorts of precious treasures. As for techniques and artifacts, they were never lacking.]
[One could say that she provided anything one could want.]
[This made Ruan Lianyue believe for a time that Liang Yu was the best master in the world.]
[But now, because of Ye Yu's death, she was so cold to her? Even harboring a desire to kill.]
[Ruan Lianyue could clearly feel a strong killing intent.]
[Why was this?]
[Could it be that Liang Yu and Ye Yu were truly friends?]
[But how could that be?]
[Although Liang Yu was a rogue cultivator, she had nothing to do with the demonic path. She had never even mentioned Ye Yu in front of Ruan Lianyue.]
[No matter how she looked at it, these two people shouldn't have any connection.]
[Liang Yu roared; Anyone can call Ye Yu a demon, but not you, Ruan Lianyue.]
[If not for Ye Yu, you would have died a thousand times over.]
[Five hundred years ago...]
[Ye Yu avenged you by single-handedly destroying the Wind Thunder Temple.]
[A little over a hundred years ago.]
[Your so-called friend Li Yao conspired with the Sect Master of the Seven Star Sect. They planned to sell you to an elder of the Divine Array Pavilion, just to exchange for a mere artifact.]
[Ye Yu, outraged, killed them in anger.]
[That same year, fearing you would be lonely, Ye Yu specifically sought me, Liang Yu, to become your protector.]
[For a century, you lacked for nothing—treasures, techniques, artifacts—everything was provided by Ye Yu.]
[What right do you have to kill Ye Yu?]
[What right?]
[In her fury, thousands of sword auras gathered behind Liang Yu. The sword tips pointed directly at Ruan Lianyue.]
[With just a thought, she could kill her instantly.]
[But Liang Yu had yet to take action when Ruan Lianyue collapsed to the ground.]
[Her eyes were vacant, staring blankly ahead.]
[She kept murmuring softly: Impossible, this is absolutely impossible!]
[A single tear rolled down Liang Yu's delicate face.]
[She dispersed the sword qi around her and stumblingly reached the bedside.]
[Gently, she lifted Ye Yu's body, holding him close.]
[She whispered: Ruan Lianyue, I envy you so much, yet I also hate you.]
[Over these years, Ye Yu carried countless insults, labeled as a demon, all for you.]
[Including the slaughter of the Zhou family, Ye Yu killed so many people just to obtain the Dragon Crystal for you.]
[Not only that, he hid his presence every day, accompanying you.]
[For hundreds of years.]
[In him, I saw the passionate devotion of a man.]
[I hate that a man like him could love an ungrateful woman like you.]
[Why couldn't Ye Yu love me?]
[After the battle of the Zhou family, Ye Yu gave me everything accumulated over thousands of years by the Zhou family to pass on to you.]
[But I didn't want to give it to you.]
[It's not because I want these things, but because I feel that someone like you doesn't deserve to have them.]
[Even less so, Ye Yu's love.]
[So, I despised you.]
[I purposely didn't go looking for you..]
[Today, upon learning of your marriage, I struggled for a long time. Finally suppressing my jealousy, I came to congratulate you.]
[In truth, I just wanted to see Ye Yu.]
[But how dare you kill him?]
[What right do you have to kill him?]
[Listening to Liang Yu's words full of resentment, Ruan Lianyue was already in tears.]
[She couldn't believe that Ye Yu had done so much for her.]
[And all of this happened without her knowing.]
[Ruan Lianyue struggled to rise, slowly approaching Ye Yu's body.]
[Suddenly, she smelled a familiar scent.]
[For a hundred years, this scent seemed to have been with her constantly.]
[It suddenly disappeared two months ago. But today, she felt it again.]
[So, everything was true.]
[For these years, Ye Yu had been by her side.]
[She just didn't know.]
[In an instant, Ruan Lianyue recalled the scene of Ye Yu silently standing behind her.]
[And during that time, Ruan Lianyue had spoken harsh words to Ye Yu. How did he feel at that time?]
[Thinking of this, Ruan Lianyue burst into tears on the spot.]
