Ye Chuchen preferred tranquility and did not wish to be involved in anything. Since coming to Heaven's Secret City, she had occupied a small courtyard all by herself.
Here, located on the outskirts of the city, the scenery was beautiful, providing a sense of isolation and quietude.
Ye Chuchen loved this kind of place.
Since that incident many years ago, the members of the Ye Family seemed to harbor a subtle sense of guilt toward Ye Chuchen. Whatever request she made was generally not refused.
But Ye Chuchen rarely made requests.
Her only request was for a place to live that was elegant and quiet, one where she would not be disturbed.
Thus, the Patriarch of the Ye Family diligently satisfied this request.
However... none of these requests included Meng Ge Yin.
She had previously been unaware and would not have paid attention to a minor character like Chu Yang; but now, as Chu Yang’s power grew stronger, to a degree that even the nine great clans could not ignore, the Ye Family had to take it into consideration.
At this time, from the Law Sovereign, they learned that Meng Ge Yin was actually Meng Chaoran, and Meng Chaoran was, surprisingly, Chu Yang’s master!
This fact left the Ye Family members in shock!
What kind of enmity did the Ye Family have with Meng Chaoran? How could they not know?
The hatred of killing one’s kin, the grudge of exterminating a family!
It could be said that as long as Meng Chaoran existed, the Ye Family would find it hard to live in peace. Now, his disciple had gained such overwhelming power...
So, if one day Meng Chaoran reunited with his disciple, would he seek revenge on the Ye Family?
This was not even a matter to contemplate!
Fortune favored them, as the Ye Family learned from the Ling Family that Meng Chaoran was currently in Heaven’s Secret City! Moreover, he was probably with Ye Chuchen...
If the Ye Family did not take action, they would be truly foolish!
The small building was backed by green mountains, facing clear waters, and the wintry landscape was exceptionally desolate.
Ye Chuchen sat by the window in the afternoon, where thick water vapor rose from the pond in front of her. Her eyes reflected the hazy mist.
Behind her stood a figure in green, with an ordinary face, but an air of elegance beyond the mundane.
“It’s snowing…” Ye Chuchen murmured.
“It’s snowing…” the person behind her subconsciously replied, smiling, “Snowing is usually your favorite time... Why are you unhappy now?”
“Ge Yin, tell me… what do you think our future will be like?” Ye Chuchen gazed out at the drifting snowflakes, softly asking, as if murmuring to herself.
“The future…” The person behind her was none other than the disguised Meng Chaoran; he chuckled lightly, revealing a carefree understanding of the world: “I never thought about what future we would have.”
He smiled faintly, as if seeing through worldly affairs: “The days we spend together feel like a dream. Each day that passes brings us closer to an end... so I never think about what comes after today.”
Ye Chuchen smiled sadly: “Yes, my father killed all your kin. As long as you live, you must seek revenge. But that’s still my father... We never really had a future.”
Meng Chaoran fell silent.
Hatred must be avenged.
But how does one repay love?
This is an eternal knot that can never be unraveled!
It lies between the two of them.
With this knot, even running away together is impossible! Because, when they are face to face, how can they not remember the hatred? Ye Chuchen will recall that her father is the enemy who annihilated Meng Chaoran’s family, and Meng Chaoran will remember too!
Not being together leads to torment from longing, a state of despair; but being together brings the same kind of suffering!
These two lovers had fallen into the most terrifying cycle of love in the world.
Meng Ge Yin changed his name to Meng Chaoran, hoping to transcend the world and see everything lightly. But he could not truly be above it all.
“Perhaps only death can bring liberation,” Meng Chaoran stated casually.
