In the darkness, there is only the smell of blood in the air, and everything around is quiet. Because of the darkness, it is impossible to see the surroundings. Only the smell of blood and dampness indicates that this is a closed space.

Being in it must have no idea how long it has passed, and even more so, Ye Hen opened his eyes, and there was brightness in his fatigue, but it was plain and unshakable, and he was not shaken by his situation at all.

He licked his dry lips, but touched the wound and coughed a few times. It was obvious that he could not breathe, but the sound was so depressing, as if he had used all his strength every time he coughed. Until the cough gradually subsided, Ye Hen felt that he had walked from the gate of hell again.

The sound of the door lock turning made Ye Hen subconsciously hold his breath, and then a squeak sound made, and the light slowly penetrated through the crack of the open door.

After the door was fully opened, the light illuminated the darkness. Although it was not all illuminated, it was already possible to see a rough idea. The ground was moist cement ground, and bloody red spots, both deep and shallow.

When the light shone, Ye Hen subconsciously closed his eyes, because he had not seen the light for a long time, his eyes would inevitably be unable to adapt for a while.

"I am worthy of being the heir to the Chu family. I didn't expect that I could still live like this."

A familiar and sarcastic voice sounded in his ears. Ye Hen slowly opened his eyes. Although it was still a little dazzling, he had slowly adapted. He leaned against the cold wall and bent his legs, because only in this way could he make himself look less embarrassed. The clothes on his body were already torn, and the colors of varying shades showed the wound on his body and the pale and bloodless face. Compared to other parts of his body, his face could be said to be the only place without scars.

As always, with his back facing the light, Ye Hen could not see clearly the person standing in front of him backlight. He could only tell from his voice and body that she was a woman. He looked at the other person quietly, still silent. This was the way he got along with the person in front of him since he was locked up here.

From the first time the woman in front of him appeared, Ye Hen knew that they regarded him as Ye Jing, and he did not deny that. He even knew from the moment he was arrested. He had even had this awareness since he was arrested, so he did not look panicked. From the outside, Ye Hen was not like a child in his teens at all, especially from the moment he was arrested, he was very glad that he had developed poorly due to family conditions, which made him look a little different from his actual age. It was precisely because of this that he was mistaken for Ye Jing.

Ye Hen had forgotten when he started training, and only knew that after he left the so-called "home", he was taken to that place. That place belonged to darkness, but unexpectedly he didn't think it was hell. At least compared with the home he used to have, that place requires more favors.

At that place, Ye Hen slowly understood that only by becoming stronger could he continue to live. Living was not very meaningful to him, because he had no reason to live, so he just lived a life. Until one day, someone told him that only those who were needed could continue to live, he thought that someone really needed him? In his impression, he seemed to be not needed.

During the training day and night, Ye Hen slowly found his goal. He may not be the strongest, but he longed to be needed. For this goal, Ye Hen devoted himself to endless training, never complained of hardship or fatigue, and then he naturally entered the ranks of reserve candidates. The so-called reserve candidates are nothing more than the place where superiors choose reserve talents. Only in this way can they be qualified to continue to live if they are selected.

What exactly is needed? Ye Hen didn't know, but he knew that only by becoming stronger could he know the answer, so he had to train harder.

Until one day, he asked him to go to a place with some people of similar age, which was bright. Wherever he saw a person who was obviously younger than him, who said that he was the one they would like to be loyal to in the future. He still understood the meaning of loyalty, but does this mean that he was needed?

While training with that person, he learned that among them there would be one person who would become the personal guard of that person, who could be given a name and live in the sun.

name.

This word made Ye Hen feel strange and familiar. He knew that he had a name, but that name had disappeared since he left there, and later he gradually forgot about it. Since entering that place, they were not allowed to have their own name, only code names, or numbers. He heard those people say that only those who were selected and needed were qualified to be given a name.

Being needed? After knowing this, Ye Hen undoubtedly became one of many people who longed to be given names. For those people, names are an honorable existence, but for him they are just an existence that is needed.

Ye Hen knew that his qualifications were ordinary, and he did not think that he was the strongest one, or in front of that person, none of the selected people was the strongest one. However, this did not become a reason for him to give up his goal. He worked hard every day, and even if he was beaten by the lofty person in the battle, he still did not give up.

Later, when he learned that he was obviously not the strongest among the people except that person but was still selected, Ye Hen almost thought he was dreaming. He came to the person from the crowd excitedly, and then under the attention of everyone, he got a name, a name that would accompany him.

After learning the meaning of the name, Ye Hen had specially studied the origin and meaning of the name, so he knew that they were working for a family with the surname "Chu", and therefore they would be given the surname "Chu", which means that the surname "Chu" is their reborn parents. However, when he was given the surname "Ye", he felt confused and felt that it was unclear, and even felt that it was because he was not qualified enough?

This was soon overturned, and Ye Hen knew that the surname "Ye" represented the meaning of the person he was loyal to. Since then, he had no disagreement towards his master, only loyalty. Ye Jing gave him a name, gave him light, and choosing him also means that he was needed. Being needed means that his existence is not meaningless.
