If one could live happily and healthily, who would choose to wander?

Upon hearing these words, a certain chord in Ye Xunhuan’s heart seemed to be struck, leaving a complex expression on his face.

"Indeed, if one could live happily and healthily, who would choose to wander!" Ye Xunhuan sighed in agreement and said, "You are a man with stories!"

"Aren’t you the same?" Ke Qinghong slowly turned his head, glanced at Ye Xunhuan, and said with a light laugh, "And your story is more exciting and fraught than mine!"

Ye Xunhuan slowly exhaled a breath of frustration: "I know you don’t want to talk about the reasons back then, nor do you want to say why you betrayed..."

"It wasn’t betrayal; it was coercion!" Ke Qinghong directly interrupted Ye Xunhuan, correcting him: "They forced me to this point, and they also forced me to a foreign land!"

"If I hadn’t left, perhaps the grave here wouldn’t only hold the Evil Lord. There should be a place for me beside it!"

Suddenly, a bold conjecture arose in Ye Xunhuan’s mind: "Could it be... you... you once..."

"No, no!" Ke Qinghong immediately shook his head and said, "I never joined forces with the Evil Lord for anything, and at that time, nobody dared to interfere with the Evil Lord’s affairs, a common enemy of all. Would you dare?"

"Not to mention you, even your mother with such unique talents didn’t dare to say a word more," Ke Qinghong said helplessly, "In the face of overwhelming power, everything is useless!"

"Living in this world, one can lack power or influence, but one’s fists must be hard enough!" Ke Qinghong said seriously, staring at Ye Xunhuan, "Only if your fists are hard enough can you protect those you want to protect, and only if your fists are hard enough will those around you not suffer any harm!"

"This world seems civilized, but tear away the veneer of civilization, and humans are still savage animals, where the one with the biggest fist rules."

Ye Xunhuan agreed deeply with Ke Qinghong’s words.

Without strong fists, how can one protect those they love, and how can they prevent harm to those around them!

"It seems you’ve experienced a significant blow."

Ke Qinghong chuckled: "Perhaps, but now it’s over, and I’m living better than before. Yet, some things I’ve lost, I still need to retrieve!"

"You want to replace the monarch!"

"Replacing or not, I’m not really concerned. What I care about is who holds the authority!"

"You want to be the figure behind the scenes?"

Ke Qinghong neither confirmed nor denied it, and diverted the topic: "Don’t you want to ask me what I’m looking for you for?"

"I trust you’ll say it yourself!"

"Indeed, if you’re not going to say, I will," Ke Qinghong nodded and said, "Ye Xunhuan, the monarch has set up a plot against you, and it’s a deadly trap!"

"I know; the monarch came to find me," Ye Xunhuan revealed everything to Ke Qinghong without hiding anything: "He told me everything about his setup!"

"The open scheme is flawless; especially the monarch’s scheme, which is even more flawless!"

Ke Qinghong didn’t ask Ye Xunhuan what the monarch’s plot was, as if he had already guessed it.

Ye Xunhuan deeply inhaled: "Indeed, it’s flawless."

"I came to you precisely for this flawless open scheme."

"Let’s hear it!"

"Before speaking, I need to ask you something, and I hope you can answer me truthfully!"

"Go ahead!"

"When He Duoze left, did he give He Luo to you?"

As he spoke, Ke Qinghong’s gaze became sharp, as if it could penetrate the heart.

Ye Xunhuan’s heart skipped a beat; he never thought that Ke Qinghong would ask such a question.

"You..."

"I knew long ago that He Luo was with the He family!" Ke Qinghong said indifferently, "Now He Duoze is missing, his daughter is with you, and surely He Luo was given to you by him as a prospective son-in-law?"

"I saw He Luo, and he did give it to me, but I didn’t take it!"

Ye Xunhuan neither admitted that He Luo was with him nor denied knowing about He Luo, nor did he deny having seen it.

Ke Qinghong remained silent, looking Ye Xunhuan up and down.

After a few glances, Ke Qinghong slowly spoke: "You didn’t take it?"

"Correct!" Ye Xunhuan nodded, "Whether you believe it or not, I didn’t take He Luo because I could see that He Duoze considered that item his life!"

Though He Luo was indeed with Ye Xunhuan, there was no way he would tell Ke Qinghong!

After all, the Taiji Seal and He Luo are things countless ancient martial artists of Huaxia dream of, as well as items fought over by ancient martial artists of past generations.

If he told Ke Qinghong that He Luo was with him, who knows what Ke Qinghong might do.

Moreover, Ye Xunhuan was injured, so being cautious is better.

"You really didn’t take it?"

"Believe it or not!" Ye Xunhuan didn’t explain too much.

"Okay!" Ke Qinghong sighed softly, "Is the Taiji Seal with you?"

"Why, are you thinking of going after the Taiji Seal?"

Ke Qinghong chuckled: "Though I covet the item, I haven’t planned to seize it now because there are others who want it more than I do, and others who desire to open a place more than I do. Why shouldn’t I sit back and enjoy the success?"

"Open what place?"

"Secret!" Ke Qinghong said mysteriously, "Of course, I can tell you, but what will you exchange for it with me?"

"What do you want?"

"Your submission, your loyalty!"

"Dream on!"

Kitamura Chiyuki immediately said from the side, "He would never submit to you, nor be loyal!"

Ke Qinghong’s lips curled up slightly, and he slowly turned his gaze to Kitamura Chiyuki: "What, starting to guard your master, little brat?"

Guard your master!

Upon hearing these words, Ye Xunhuan’s expression changed slightly: "What do you mean?"

"Ye Xunhuan, son of Evil Lord Qin Fenghuang," Ke Qinghong spoke a shocking truth.

Ye Xunhuan’s expression changed slightly: "You..."

"It seems you know this answer, but who told you?" Ke Qinghong said with a semi-smile, "Let me guess!"

"The Dragon Head Ye Huang knew about this, Ye Fanchen trapped in Broken Cliff Residence knew it, the Diviner knew, the people of the Xiahou family knew..."

"How do you actually know?"

"Ye Xunhuan, I had a very good relationship with your mother before, and you think I didn’t have a chance to deal with you before?" Ke Qinghong said lightly, "You’re wrong; I had many chances, but I couldn’t bear to take action!"

"Because you’re Qin Fenghuang’s son, I once deeply loved your mother."
