The faces of Ye Longlin and others darkened as they looked at the scene.
Not a single high-ranking member of the Dark Hall remained, leaving behind only a bunch of trash. These remnants were of no use to them, and they could not possibly reveal the secrets of the Dark Hall.
All they could say was that all the war criminals outside had been captured. That was all.
"Dark Hall Master? Saint Realm Ninth Heaven?"
Ye Longlin asked with a solemn expression, then looked at Ye Qingtian, seemingly believing he knew more than himself.
Ye Qingtian shook his head, "I don't know. This was also the first time they made a move. But the fact that he could call out my name is enough to prove that the other party knows me. It must be someone from my generation, or perhaps the generation before mine, otherwise, they wouldn't know me."
Even when they were still in the Ye family, Ye Qingtian was the patriarch of the main lineage. He had never appeared before the public, so it was impossible for people to know him.
This left only two generations who could possibly know him.
"Alright, let's leave this matter here. It's too late today. I'll contact you tomorrow, and I'll tell you what you want to know then."
Ye Qingtian patted Ye Longlin's shoulder and said slowly, then turned and left.
Ye Longlin clasped his hands towards Wu Qiong and the Hongmen members, "Thank you, seniors, for your assistance. Otherwise, the outcome of today's battle would have been uncertain."
Wu Qiong waved his hand dismissively, "I'll be looking for you tomorrow as well. You can't forget what you promised me."
"Don't worry."
The Hongmen Guardian also smiled, "Marshal Ye need not worry. We are merely acting under orders. We must report back to the Dragon Head, so we'll take our leave."
Ye Longlin turned to look at Ye Nantian. Ye Nantian smiled bitterly as he looked at the devastated Ye family, "Ye Longlin, you won."
"I thought Ye Qingxin would make a move, but I didn't expect her to not intervene at the last moment, just watching the Ye family perish. Ultimately, I overestimated her. True detachment means forgetting everything."
This outcome was within his expectations. Ever since Ye Longlin obtained the evidence, Ye Nantian knew there were only two possible outcomes.
"It's just that I never expected that the Ye family, the Ye family, in the end, we weren't the Ye family at all. We were just living under the surname Ye. Hehehehehe."
He slowly drew a broken saber from the side, held it to his neck, and walked towards the burning pyre. Suddenly, he let out a long cry towards the sky. The broken saber slowly moved across his neck, and blood flowed out.
Finally, he collapsed into the flames, perishing with the Ye family.
Ye Longlin looked at the blazing flames and expressionlessly commanded, "Yuan Gang, you take them back to Dragon Pavilion first. I'll go to the Hall of Honor."
...
"General Qin, Elder! The results are out!"
"Marshal Ye has won, but the Eight Gods of the Dark Hall managed to escape. When everyone in the Ye family was about to suppress them using the Mountain River Seal, the Dark Hall Master intervened and saved Honglian Yaonu and the others. However, the remaining war criminals were still captured."
"Twenty war criminals are alive and have been escorted to the capital prison by the Imperial Guards."
After hearing this news, both of them sighed helplessly, as no one expected the Dark Hall to intervene.
"Can we find out where the intervention took place?" the Elder asked Qin Hanlie.
Qin Hanlie shook his head, "It's impossible. Those at the Saint Realm can already attack from a distance, let alone the Dark Hall Master. I suspect he has already reached the Saint Realm Ninth Heaven, but there is no evidence."
Yes, no evidence.
"Hey, hey, hey, Ye Churan!!! Don't pull that!!!"
"Ah?"
The Elder: "......"
Ye Churan blinked her beautiful large eyes, her gaze full of innocence, holding an extremely beautiful flower.
This was a flower that he had been nurturing for almost a year!
He could do whatever he pleased with the other flowers and plants, but the ones on his left were all flowers he had nurtured for a year!
"My flowers..."
The Elder was on the verge of tears, then glared fiercely at Ye Churan, "Your father will be here soon. I'll have your father spank your bottom and give you a good beating!"
Ye Churan still blinked her beautiful eyes, snorted, and raised her little head high, "Hmph, my daddy won't hit Yi Yi."
"If you're not good, you'll be spanked!"
"No, Daddy won't hit Yi Yi!"
"He will!"
"He won't!"
"He will!"
"He won't!"
Qin Hanlie: "......"
Qin Hanlie on the side was speechless. One was not yet two years old, and the other was almost a hundred years old, yet they could argue, and argue with valid points. He was truly broadening his horizons.
He lit a cigarette and gazed at the night sky, his thoughts drifting.
"What are you arguing about?"
Ye Longlin entered the courtyard with a smile on his lips. His smile froze as soon as he entered. Looking at Ye Churan, his face immediately became stern.
The courtyard was filled with broken flowers and withered leaves. The flowers and plants on both sides that the Elder had been nurturing were all gone. The little girl still clutched a flower in her hand, and her body was stained black with soil. Her white clothes had now turned black.
She was completely a little mud doll.
"Yi Yi! Did you do all this?"
Ye Longlin deliberately put on a stern face. Although playing was a child's nature, this nature... was beyond his expectations.
At such a young age, how could she be two-faced?
Ye Churan pouted her small mouth and said aggrievedly, "Yi Yi just wanted to help Grandpa weed and plant small tomatoes, woo woo woo, Daddy, you're scolding me, wah—"
The little girl felt very wronged. She only wanted to help Grandpa weed, and she couldn't understand why her father was scolding her.
As she cried, Ye Longlin also became helpless. He squatted in front of her and said with a stern face, "No crying! Take it back!"
The little girl's crying immediately stopped.
Ye Longlin then earnestly educated her, "Yi Yi, not all weeds are weeds. Some flowers and plants are for looking at, do you understand? If Yi Yi wants to eat small tomatoes, Daddy will take Yi Yi to buy them. You don't need to plant them yourself."
Ye Churan sniffled, "But Mommy used to plant them herself."
Ye Longlin rubbed the little one's head, "You don't need to now. Mommy doesn't need to plant them anymore. If Yi Yi wants to eat anything, we can buy it, but you can't mess with other people's things, especially without their permission, do you understand?"
Although Yi Yi didn't fully understand, she still nodded, "Yi Yi understands."
"Then what should Yi Yi do if she knows she's wrong?"
With tears still in her big eyes, Yi Yi apologized to the Elder in a childish voice, "Grandpa, I'm sorry, Yi Yi was wrong."
