“Such incidents are quite common within Qingyun Academy.”
“Usually, within the academy, everyone is bound by rules and dares not to commit murder or harm their peers. But once outside, where no one knows, such killings happen all too frequently…”
Qing Shiyu felt that Ye Wushuang had never seen the treacherous side of society, which was why he asked such a question.
Ye Wushuang was also slightly stunned.
Indeed, he subconsciously regarded the academy as a safe haven, but in the world of martial artists, where is not filled with treachery?
Human hearts are inscrutable!
Ye Wushuang asked again, “So, how many are still alive?”
“Apart from me, they’re all dead…” Qing Shiyu’s expression dimmed as she spoke.
“In that case, they certainly won’t leave you alive, and at the same time, they will send a group to investigate the ruins you mentioned.”
Ye Wushuang continued, “By the way, whose legacy is the ruin you spoke of?”
Qing Shiyu immediately replied, “Do you know the Ye clan that thrived five hundred years ago in the Qingyun Empire?”
Upon hearing this, Ye Wushuang was slightly taken aback, then nodded slowly.
“This Tian Gang realm expert was one of the closest members of the Wen Tian Guard, who served by the side of the founder of the Ye clan, Ye Wentian!”
Qing Shiyu continued with enthusiasm, “Back then, the Ye clan was incredibly powerful, even the imperial family of the Qingyun Empire had to give them some leeway. That Ye Wentian was truly a peerless talent, leading the Ye clan to its glory. However, it’s a pity that after Ye Wentian’s death, the Ye clan gradually declined. I wonder if there are any descendants of the Ye family left!”
“The Wen Tian Guard, once within the Qingyun Empire, struck terror into the hearts of all who heard their name. They were the eighteen closest individuals to Ye Wushuang. It is said that each one of them had received great favors from Ye Wentian and were utterly loyal to him. Most importantly, all eighteen were Tian Gang realm powerhouses…”
“This time, we were originally tasked with investigating the legacy of a Yuan Fu realm expert, but it turned out to be of a Tian Gang realm, and even more unexpectedly, it belonged to one of the great figures among the Wen Tian Eighteen Guards.”
Qing Shiyu spoke to herself, “Don’t look down on them just because they were Ye Wentian’s guards, but each one of them, if placed in any of the major families in Qingtian City today, would be among the top leaders.”
At this moment, Ye Wushuang stood there, stunned and lost in thought.
From the memories of Uncle He, he had seen the decline of the Ye clan, but not the whole picture.
He had not seen the figures of the Wen Tian Eighteen Guards, and although he knew in his heart that most likely all eighteen of them were dead, he still harbored a fantasy.
What if they hadn’t died, but were hiding due to an irreversible situation!
However, if they were indeed hiding due to such a situation, they would not have stood by and watched the Ye clan decline to such an extent without lending a hand.
Now, from Qing Shiyu’s words, he learned that one or even several of them might already be dead, and Ye Wushuang’s heart was filled with unbearable grief.
Wen Tian Guard!
Eighteen people!
Each one was carefully nurtured by him in the past, and each one regarded him as a father or a teacher with utmost respect.
And he, in turn, cared for and protected the eighteen with great affection.
They were not just Ye Wushuang’s guards, but rather the closest people by his side.
Dead!
Ye Wushuang’s fists clenched slightly.
“Hey, hey, Ye Wushuang, what’s wrong with you? The meat is burning!” Qing Shiyu’s voice brought Ye Wentian back to reality.
Ye Wushuang suddenly looked up, his eyes filled with a hint of sadness as he looked at Qing Shiyu, his voice somewhat cold, “Your companions were killed. Do you want revenge?”
“Of course!”
Caught off guard by Ye Wushuang’s question, Qing Shiyu was stunned, but she still answered firmly and immediately.
She certainly did!
Those who could team up to undertake missions together trusted each other with their lives, and the relationships were naturally very close.
“Good!”
Ye Wushuang stood up and said immediately, “Take me to the location of the ruins, and I will help you get your revenge, how about that?”
