Tian Lan was on guard carefully. He could not be said to have any relationship with Ye Liu. They were still enemies on the surface. Even though Ye Liu seemed to be seriously injured now, Tian Lan did not dare to be careless at all. He held his sword across his chest and backed away cautiously. Half a step later, he said, "Tell me where he is."
Yeliu's eyes hesitated for a moment, then he showed a bitter smile and said: "You are talking about Yewu, right? Should we say that you are father and son connected? Alas, you should go see him. He doesn't have much time."
"What did you say..." Tian Lan didn't expect Ye Liu to say such a sentence suddenly. His mind buzzed, as if the mental trauma he had just suffered recurred again.
Ye Liu shook his head. Even if he tried his best to hide the sadness in his eyes, he could not completely hide it. He lowered his hand and moved away, letting Tian Lan see Ye Wu lying not far behind him. Ye Wu lay quietly on the cold There was no sound on the ground. Tianlan didn't even feel his breath.
The moment Tianlan saw Ye Wu, his whole body visibly stiffened. Then he slowly walked over and knelt in front of Ye Wu.
When he got closer, he could feel Ye Wu's vague aura. He seemed to be not injured as seriously as Ye Liu. But his skin color was abnormally dark.
This was the first time he had looked at Ye Wu so close. Now the mask on Ye Wu's face had fallen off, revealing his original appearance. To be honest, before seeing his face, Tianlan didn't quite remember what he looked like. But when he really looked at him, Tianlan realized that he had never forgotten this face at all... Even if hundreds of years pass, and throughout his life, he will never forget... his father. No matter what happened What? He is Tianlan's father...the only father.
Ye Wu probably felt Tian Lan approaching, so he opened his eyes. His eyes no longer had the sternness of the past, only calmness remained. He looked at Tian Lan, and Tian Lan also looked at him.
Tianlan lowered his head. His black hair was scattered in front of his forehead, just covering the scar on his left eye. But Ye Wu knew about his injury. There was still a lot of blood on his face and body. And it was made by Ye Wu himself.
Ye Wu finally said: "If you hate me, keep hating me. I am not worthy of being a general, let alone your father."
Tianlan felt his heart heavy. It seemed like there was a huge stone blocking his heart. This feeling was just like when he lost his father for the first time eight years ago. Now, eight years have passed. He was surprised to find that he still had the same feelings. ...No. Even better than before.
He shook his head silently and said: "I don't hate you. I have never hated you. Please let me try to save you. Okay."
At this time, Ye Yi and Tao'er both arrived. They were surprised and confused when they saw the scene in front of them. Then they gradually understood and stood silently on one side.
Ye Wu said: "Don't waste your energy. People like me are not worth saving. From the moment I prayed to Qiye for the dark power, today's outcome was destined. You may be wondering why I have been so successful in just a few years. You can go from a mediocre warrior to a top powerhouse. That's because of this unknown dark power. It's not the right way. The price we exchange for powerful power is life. The stronger the power, the shorter the life. .Now my life span is over. No matter how hard you try, you still can’t extend my life span by one minute.”
Ye Liu listened to his words and couldn't help but interjected: "What we exchange for life is power. The more we use power, the faster we die. If you didn't fight with Yesan just now..."
Halfway through, he stopped consciously and sighed silently. Who said that Ye Wu was ruthless and unrighteous. The reason why he exhausted all his strength and fought to the death with Ye San. Apart from the fact that he had no love in life, the most important reason was that In order to save Tianlan, who told Ye San to kill Tianlan? He could no longer let his wife come back to life. Then he couldn't let the son whom his wife gave her life for be killed. In this way, the life of his beloved wife would be saved. Meaningful. Only valuable.
Tian Lan heard Ye Liu's words and murmured unconsciously: "Ye San..."
Looking at his expression, Ye Wu guessed what he was thinking. He said: "Xiao Lan, don't think about doing anything for me. Don't go to Ye San. You are no match for him. He has the Emperor's Scepter. You can." Activate the power of the ghost world. That is a sure-fire trick... I know you are a wonderful doctor. You have saved many, many lives. Your life is valuable. I am very lucky that you can survive safely. So you have to Replace me, replace your mother. Live well."
Tianlan was so sad that she wanted to die, but there was no tears in her eyes. Her voice was still choked: "Why did you save me... If I die in your hands, I won't have any complaints... Father, I would rather die." It's me..."
Ye Wu first couldn't help but shed tears. He showed a smile that was uglier than crying and said: "Xiaolan, I have thought about killing you countless times. Since you were born, because I always thought that it was you. My beloved wife was taken away. Without you, she would not have left me..."
"But I was wrong. No matter how cruel I was, even if I used dark power to cover up my humanity, I still couldn't kill you. You have been an obedient child since you were a child; you are very smart and sensible. Far better than Adults need to be mature. You know I don't like you. But you are only disappointed, sad, and helpless. But you have never resented me as an unfit father..."
"Compared to your brother, I had almost no love for you. No teaching. I only scolded you harshly. I rarely even visited you. But you never held a grudge. Every time I came back from an expedition, you always... He was hiding in a corner of the city gate and secretly waiting for me to come back. Earlier than anyone else. And he always deliberately avoided appearing in front of me..."
Tian Lan finally couldn't bear it anymore and shed tears. One line of clear tears and the other blood tears. He choked and said: "No... don't say it... Father, please don't die... Even if it's not for me, just do it for my brother, okay?" He has been waiting hard for you to come back... He has always wanted to see you again..."
"Xiao Chen. He has grown up. I'm not worried." Ye Wu took off the storage ring on his hand and stuffed it into Tian Lan's hand. He continued: "Some of the things in the ring are secrets about Qi Ye. Although they are not core secrets, if you need it, you can use it. Otherwise, you will destroy it."
"Father..." Tian Lan burst into tears. She held the storage ring tightly in her right hand. This was the first time in his life that his father had given him something. How could he destroy it?
Ye Wu began to feel a little breathless. But he still persisted and said: "How old are you? Why are you still crying like a child? A man bleeds but does not shed tears..."
"Xiaolan...I owe you so much as a father in my life. Even now that you are an adult, I have never hugged you with my own hands. Now let me put this regret behind me. Let me...hug you..."
"okay……"
While Tianlan shed tears, she lifted Ye Wu's body up and hugged him tightly, her chest close to his heart.
He held Ye Wu in his arms and leaned so close. He could clearly hear his breathing getting weaker and weaker, and could feel his heartbeat getting weaker and weaker.
Finally, when only one of the two heartbeats was left, Tianlan truly lost his father. All he had was the familiar body smell in his arms, the broad arms, and the luxurious hug he had never had before...
Ye Yi and Tao'er were silent. Although Ye Wu's death was not directly related to them, they felt depressed for some reason.
Yeliu sighed again. He held the long black stick in his hand and said to himself: "Life and death are determined by fate. Those of us who want to change our destiny cannot escape death in the end. So what is the meaning of our sacrifice? Back then .I gave up learning swordsmanship and chose to learn stick skills. In fact, I just wanted to reduce the number of murders on my hands. I made up my mind at that time. My power only exists for protection. However, over the years, I have done some more What."
Tao'er looked at him and seemed to be able to understand his heavy mood at this time. She said: "Then do you want to go back?"
"Go back." Ye Liu smiled bitterly. "Where to go back? Qi Ye. It's not my home in the first place. Why go back. I probably don't have much life left. I should let myself spend the last time freely. Bar."
After saying that, he threw away the long stick in his hand, turned around gracefully, and planned to leave.
Seeing that he was about to leave, Ye Yi hurriedly said: "Wait a minute. I still have many questions to ask you."
Yeliu turned his back to him and said: "Young man, I know you have a lot of doubts. But I am not your friend, so I have no obligation to answer you. Moreover, even as the core staff of Qiye, we know very little. As for the master of Qiye, we only know that he is a mysterious and powerful man with countless resources in his hands and endless ambitions and means. In fact, people like us are just pawns that can be abandoned at any time to him... "
Ye Yi asked: "Since you understand, why are you willing to accept his command?"
Ye Liu paused. Then he shook his head and said: "Instead of having time to ask boring questions, why don't you spend more time on your friends. People can't be resurrected. Please advise him to be more open-minded and don't do stupid things."
"Ah." Ye Yi subconsciously looked at Tianlan. After Yeliu finished speaking, he strode away. The figure quickly disappeared into the night.
In fact, Ye Liu's words before leaving were just casual and he didn't pay much attention to them. However, Ye Yi suddenly realized that there was still this problem. He knew Tian Lan's personality. Once Tian Lan was angered, he But he can't do anything, not to mention that the person who was killed this time was his father. He will give up.
Ye Yi silently watched Tian Lan still holding Ye Wu's body without moving. He didn't know if he should say something to comfort him... At the same time, he felt that it would be useless to say anything at this time...
