“Take care, Lei,” Ye Yuyan muttered as she stood outside the car, looking back at Xu Lei with tears in her eyes.
The torrential rain was still pounding on the ground when she left.
Ye Yuyan did not know why, but ever since Ye Fan left, her life had been filled with goodbyes and separation.
She had parted with Ye Ximei, Qiu Mucheng, and Xu Lei ever since that man was gone.
When he was still around, everyone would flock to his side. But in his passing, his friends and families were all scattered across different places.
Despite knowing that life and death were out of her control, Ye Yuyan was still afraid that one day, she would have to bid a permanent farewell to one of them.
Since Xu Lei had decided to stay behind, Ye Yuyan respected her decision.
Vroom!
Once she said her goodbye, Ye Yuyan left in the car that night.
The two beams of yellow lights from her car pierced through the endless darkness until they eventually vanished out of sight.
“Mr. Xue, you should've just left with her. You're not obliged to stay,” Xu Lei said to the old man beside her after sending Ye Yuyan off.
“I've lived a long and good life. I think I'd like to go on an adventure before I die,” Xue Renyang replied with a smile. “As you said, I also want to defend Yanjing for Dragon Master.”
“I'm sure Ye Fan will be happy to know he has so many friends who love him,” she said, smiling back at him, but the smile on her face disappeared soon enough.
She picked up the phone and spoke. “I want everyone in the Xu family to gather at the family manor. Also, send some men to prepare food supplies for war.
We're getting ready for battle.”
Since Xu Lei had received news that the War God Castle was on the brink of falling apart, she got ready fo r wa r.
She assembled all the people she had at the manor and planned on fortifying the existing formation so they could better prepare for the coming crisis.
“Mr. Xue, you should go get ready as well. Bring all the men you have to my residence. Dismiss the rest and let them go home. A storm is befalling us,” she added, looking in the direction of the War God Castle.
Peals of thunder rayed from the thick and dark clouds above the castle in a distance, letting off a deafening noise from Mount Yan.
Xu Lei knew for certain that a bloody battle was happening there.
Once Ye Yuyan arrived at Mount Yunding Villa in Yunzhou, Jiangdong, she reported back to Li Er about the outcome of her visit.
“I see... She still can't get over Mr. Chu. Such loyalty is rare in this world today,” Li Er commented.
Although he felt sorry for her, he could still understand Xu Lei's feelings because he had once gone through the same thing.
Li Er had felt dejected and lost after Ye Fan passed away as well, so he could understand that Xu Lei would rather die protecting Yanjing than live in fear and loneliness in Yunzhou.
Her only consolation in the face of a potential failure was the possibility of meeting Ye Fan again in another world.
“What is love that people are willing to die for it? It would have been perfect if Mr. Chu had married her before he died. They would at least have a child together, and Ms. Xu would have something to live for,” Li Er uttered.
Lei San and Chen Ao sighed with deep emotion.
Likewise, Chen Nan had mixed feelings as well.
Xu Lei had taken good care of her back when she was studying at Yanjing, but, of course, this was partly because of her relationship with Ye Fan.
Although they did not spend a long time together, Xu Lei left a good impression on Chen Nan.
To her, Xu Lei was like a mature and beautiful elder sister.
“Mr. Li, will Lei be okay? War God Castle is the Chu Sect's only target, right? Lei is just a businesswoman.
