Chapter 1236: Chapter 1236: Winning Without Fighting
Even though he obeyed Tian Xiaozi only after being poisoned severely, he always harbored much discontent in his heart, discontent with his father for valuing his elder brother, discontent with Ye You for heavily relying on the Panhu Family and ilan Family.
Tian Xiaozi’s pressure was just a trigger for him to take the drastic step he had wanted but dared not take—fortune hides in danger, to gain more, one must pay the price.
He had thought about failure, just didn’t expect it to co so quickly and be so tragic.
The soldiers behind rushed up, tied the collapsed Shuo Yi down, and escorted him away.
Ye You paused for a mont, then instructed them to carry away Lie Feng’s corpse too, and preserve it well.
Everything before his eyes happened too suddenly, Shuo Yi’s army was stupefied and nearly hopeless.
Capture the thief, first capture the king; with two commanders dead and severely injured, the army lost its leader, and the already wavering morale was utterly shattered, the soldiers threw down their weapons, surrendering voluntarily.
Thus, this highly ambitious encirclent battle was won without a fight, Ye You’s army suffered no losses, and even absorbed the surrendered soldiers from the Jin Gang Family, growing ever stronger.
Ye You personally sent back Lie Feng’s corpse and the transford commoner Shuo Yi to Daye City to express his respect to Wu Fan and Shuo Yu for the Jin Gang family.
His son’s Magic Source destroyed, his grandson lost to the underworld, this was an enormous blow to Wu Fan, who was already in poor health, making him even weaker.
Shuo Yi’s is exempt from the death penalty, but he could hardly escape punishnt, being imprisoned in a solitary cell in the dungeon, and his remaining life will be spent here.
However, it won’t be for long; he is already over sixty years old, and a common person’s lifespan won’t exceed a hundred years, he only has twenty to thirty years left, and in declining years.
Due to his betrayal, Lie Feng’s corpse could not be buried in the ancestry tomb of the Jin Gang family, Wu Fan buried Lie Feng in a quiet place in the wild.
To prevent destruction by others, the stone tablet had no inscriptions, it was an empty stele.
After the people from the Jin Gang family left the funeral, Ye You stood for a long ti before Lie Feng’s grave.
Juvenile classmates, radiating youth and power, facing challenges boldly.
They once were fellow students, studying and fighting together, back then they both believed this schoolmate bond would last forever, never part.
Yet, in just a few short years, so many changes occurred, even separating life and death.
Perhaps in this world, indeed, nothing is everlasting!
Ye You sighed lowly, slowly turned away, looking at Qin Sisi quietly accompanying him not far away, his cold heart gradually began to warm.
If there’s nothing eternal in the world, then let them create one.
Qin Sisi understood Ye You’s feelings; back then in Seven Pearl City, when Qing Pu died before her, she too felt a deep sense of helplessness and regret.
She and Qing Pu could only be considered acquaintances, not friends, yet the relationship between Ye You and Lie Feng evidently surpassed hers with Qing Pu, so Ye You must feel more sorrowful than she did at that ti.
Qin Sisi didn’t speak, she just stepped forward, took Ye You’s hand proactively, and they walked shoulder to shoulder back to the temporary residence in Daye City.
In the evening, facing a sumptuous dinner, Ye You had little appetite, only eating a few bites at Qin Sisi’s persuasion before leaving the table.
Seeing this, Qin Sisi lowered her eyes in thought for a mont, then stood up and walked over, embracing Ye You from behind.
Ye You paused, turned around, his gaze deep as he stared at Qin Sisi for a while, then opened his arms and held her in his embrace.
Qin Sisi snuggled in Ye You’s arms, summoned courage, and lifted her head to give Ye You a kiss on the lips.
Ye You was slightly surprised, lowering his head to look at her; she rarely acted so proactively.
Qin Sisi’s cheeks reddened slightly, she bit her lip, and lifted her hands to help Ye You remove his long coat.
Ye You’s gaze darkened a bit, watching her intently.
"Sisi, I’m fine, you don’t have to do this."
Of course, he understood her intention, she was worried about him, wanted to comfort him.
Qin Sisi lowered her head, whispered, "I just want you to be happy."
Ye You covered Qin Sisi’s hands over his chest, softly said, "I’m happy every day I’m with you."
I know this world has too many changes, I only hope between us remains unchanged forever.
Daye City’s crisis has been completely resolved, all traitors received their deserved punishnt, now Ye You’s target is only one—Tian Xiaozi.
Ge Lun never regretted like he did now; to win Ye You’s favor for paving the way for Ya Ling, also to show off Crystal City’s power, when Ye You publicly demanded the families to assist Biyun City, he personally led the army there and took away Crystal City’s most elite forces.
When he saw that the clan leaders of other families hadn’t shown up, he felt a tinge of unease, yet still held onto luck.
Eventually, each participating family suffered attacks from Tian Xiaozi, seizing the opportunity of the army going out to battle, the inner city beca vacant, grabbing its ruling authority, the act akin to cutting off one’s foundation.
Only Midair City, Seven Pearl City, and Miaoyin City had clan leaders overseeing, personally commanding their defensive operations, enforcing orders strictly, leaving Tian Xiaozi’s n no advantages to take.
Subsequently, great changes occurred in Daye City and Flower Fragrance City, old rulers were overthrown, new rulers loyal to Ye You won the final victory.
Yet, Crystal City was much more tragic; with the clan leader absent, the four great elders didn’t agree, army reaction capability was always a step slow, allowing Tian Xiaozi to seize the chance to slaughter many of Crystal City’s warriors.
Luckily, Biyun City’s counterattack didn’t last long; Ge Lun, who was sly and calculating, imdiately led the army back as the war ended; by then, Crystal City’s inner city was already in jeopardy.
If Ge Lun had returned a day later, the inner city would likely have fallen.
Though he managed to hold Crystal City’s core, seeing the once prosperous city now full of devastation and rivers of blood, Ge Lun was deeply pained.
On Crystal City’s territory, the Qing Ming Family’s army engaged in a war of attrition with Tian Xiaozi’s forces, both sides suffering heavy casualties.
