Later, the Fatty would come to understand things like this, but understanding was one thing, and emotionally accepting and fully embracing them was another matter entirely.
Everyone had their own selfishness and desires.
This was also quite normal.
However, since the Fatty understood this, even though his heart felt uncomfortable from the beginning,
He ultimately did not complain about it.
Ye Tiancheng noticed all of this. He went to talk with the Fatty several times, and the Fatty expressed his understanding, knowing that Ye Tiancheng was not showing favoritism.
However, this balance was ultimately broken.
All of this was related to the illusion they encountered on the path to finding the Nuwa Stone, and the experiences the Fatty had suffered.
That matter had absolutely nothing to do with Ye Tiancheng and the little fox. No one wanted such a thing to happen. After all, upon entering, Ye Tiancheng and the little fox had lost track of the Fatty.
They spent some time and discovered that the Fatty beside them had been swapped.
They also spent a considerable amount of time searching for the Fatty.
However, by the time they found the Fatty, he had already met with misfortune. Ye Tiancheng and the little fox could do nothing. Fortunately, it was within the illusion of the Nuwa Stone at that time, which allowed the Fatty to be resurrected after his death.
For the Fatty's own good, Ye Tiancheng chose to erase his memories.
The outcome was something no one had predicted.
The part of the Fatty's memory that was erased and hidden was later exploited by the ghost fox A Zi in another illusion. This led to the Fatty accidentally recalling that part of the events, but completely misunderstanding the memory.
When the Fatty was in that illusion, he had never truly met Ye Tiancheng and the little fox until the moment he died.
However, the Fatty himself would never know this.
After Ye Tiancheng rescued the Fatty, for the Fatty's sake, he dealt with the Fatty's memories. Because of this, when the Fatty accidentally recalled that event, Ye Tiancheng had no opportunity to explain to the Fatty that the person he met there was not him and the little fox.
If the Fatty had not forgotten at that time, it would have dealt a great blow to him, causing him immense mental anguish, which was not a good thing.
One did not know what the Fatty would have become because of it.
However, if the Fatty had known, at the very least, after he sobered up, he would have certainly questioned Ye Tiancheng, and Ye Tiancheng would have been able to explain and prove his and the little fox's innocence.
Then, the Fatty would not have misunderstood.
But it was entirely detrimental for the Fatty to remember this.
It was just that Ye Tiancheng could never have imagined what would happen later, leading to the Fatty suddenly recalling those events without knowing the truth.
He believed that in that illusion, Ye Tiancheng and the little fox had betrayed him and even killed him in a very cruel manner. Although he didn't know how he had luckily survived afterward, the ghost fox A Zi's explanation was that because it was an illusion of the Nuwa Stone, dying in an illusion did not mean he was completely dead.
The Fatty's heart, with his inner demons growing stronger, although he appeared to be half-believing, knew in his heart that he had already believed most of it.
He believed that after that, Ye Tiancheng and the little fox's attitude towards him was not genuine and that they were merely placating him. This was why he felt such a stark sense of disparity, entirely because Ye Tiancheng and the little fox were no longer willing to put in effort for him.
Of course, this was a colossal misunderstanding.
Under normal, rational circumstances, the Fatty would certainly not have believed such nonsense.
But at that time, the Fatty suddenly recalled such a brutal memory, and then, being constantly instigated by the ghost fox A Zi, even developing inner demons.
This caused a flame of hatred to ignite in his heart.
From then on, one mistake led to another.
At the final moment, when Ye Tiancheng spoke with the Fatty in private, the Fatty finally asked Ye Tiancheng about that matter, and only then did he learn that it was all a misunderstanding and that he had been manipulated.
In fact, after such a long time, it could not be said that the Fatty had not regained his rationality.
Therefore, he harbored doubts.
However, his mind had ultimately been manipulated, causing the Fatty, whenever he thought about the matter, to feel that there were always some issues, but his increasingly biased thoughts always pushed him to think and consider things in the worst possible direction.
This was why the Fatty became the way he was later, to the point that Ye Tiancheng did not recognize him at first glance.
However, the seed of doubt had, after all, taken root in the Fatty's heart.
After Ye Tiancheng clarified everything, the Fatty's heart was suddenly enlightened.
He would not regret saving Ye Tiancheng.
He was also even more fortunate that Ye Tiancheng had not truly perished because of his previous betrayal.
Otherwise, such a mistake was something the Fatty could never have made amends for.
After Ye Tiancheng finally understood the truth, his heart was filled with great sorrow, and he desperately wanted to save the Fatty. But both Ye Tiancheng and the Fatty understood equally well that the Fatty's current state was truly beyond saving.
The Fatty asked Ye Tiancheng not to waste any more energy on him.
And in the end, he expressed his dying wish, which led Ye Tiancheng to do those things later and bury the Fatty in the Pure Land.
This was because the Fatty wanted to end everything there.
Ye Tiancheng fulfilled his wish.
After hearing this, the little fox was also very sad.
The misunderstandings were layered, but Ye Tiancheng at that time, not only because the Fatty could not help as much as the little fox, but also because the events in the Nuwa Stone illusion had left a deep impression and a deep knot in Ye Tiancheng's heart.
This made Ye Tiancheng fearful that one day the Fatty might suffer some misfortune because of him, and then he would be unable to save his good brother's life.
Therefore, Ye Tiancheng, fearing that the Fatty would get into trouble, was unwilling to let the Fatty get too deeply involved in his affairs.
After all, Ye Tiancheng was well aware of the great risks involved in the things he did later.
But who could have foreseen that everything would ultimately lead to this outcome? Ye Tiancheng tried his best to avoid it, but it seemed to have facilitated this outcome, and the Fatty truly met such an end.
Neither Ye Tiancheng nor the little fox could avoid feeling heartbroken and sad because of this.
The little fox truly did not expect things to turn out this way.
However, the three of them had ultimately reached this point, and no matter how much they thought about it, there was no way to salvage it.
This was the most heartbreaking outcome.
Ye Tiancheng also told the little fox not to blame herself for reaching this point. Too many factors were involved, and there were many reasons, but each of them had not done anything wrong.
It was just that fate had pushed them, ultimately leading them to such an end.
The little fox sighed and asked no more questions.
However, since the misunderstanding had finally been resolved, Ye Tiancheng and the little fox would naturally continue to visit the Fatty. They would not let their good brother remain alone and lonely there forever.
Regarding the Fatty's affairs, Ye Tiancheng contacted Helian Yue of the Helian family.
Although the past events between Helian Yue and the Fatty were truly an accident, and there was absolutely no connection or emotional basis between them,
Ultimately, due to the subsequent events, a connection was formed between Helian Yue and the Fatty, and their relationship became unusual because they had a child.
Therefore, after careful consideration, Ye Tiancheng felt that this matter should be communicated to Helian Yue, regardless of anything else.
Helian Yue had the right to know all of this.
And when Helian Yue learned of the situation from Ye Tiancheng, she remained silent for a long time. However, she eventually expressed that if there was an opportunity, she wanted to visit the Pure Land to see the Fatty.
This request was quite reasonable, and Ye Tiancheng felt there was no problem with it.
Therefore, Ye Tiancheng agreed to Helian Yue's request.
In the near future, Ye Tiancheng would also need to go to the Pure Land to check the purification level. Once the Pure Land fully recovered, Ye Tiancheng would need to go and retrieve the divine artifact Fuxi Qin.
Therefore, at that time, he would notify Helian Yue, and taking her along would not be a problem.
Helian Yue also stated that she would bring her son.
After all, the child of Helian Yue and the Fatty was now several years old, old enough to remember things and understand reason, but he had not yet met his biological father.
Ye Tiancheng felt that this was also not a problem, so he agreed.
Ye Tiancheng also felt that the Fatty had never met his son, and after the Fatty's death, for his son to know he had a father and to visit him would be considered a way to comfort the Fatty's spirit.
This matter was thus settled between Ye Tiancheng and Helian Yue.
Ye Tiancheng was still traveling to various places to wrap up the aftermath. However, because the crisis in the Pure Land had been resolved, and the ghost fox A Zi had also died and would never appear again,
Under these circumstances, Ye Tiancheng no longer needed to keep Hou Mingzhu and Ye Qingcheng, the mother and daughter, so hidden. Therefore, although there were still unfinished matters, Ye Tiancheng had already gone to pick up Hou Mingzhu and Ye Qingcheng and the mother and daughter from their previous location.
Everyone's life was slowly returning to normal.
Hou Mingzhu had been missing for so long that her control over the Hou family's industry had weakened. It would take some time to get back on track.
At this time, Ye Tiancheng had his own matters to attend to, and Hou Mingzhu would not disturb him. She would first focus on resolving her work issues and arranging Ye Qingcheng's life to get her daughter's life back on track.
The prolonged period of hiding and isolation was not good for Ye Qingcheng, and she needed to recover.
