Wang Ma has almost treated Ye Xunhuan as her own child, but now Ye Xunhuan has killed the king. Such a blow is undeniably immense for Wang Ma!
So immense that Wang Ma simply cannot accept it all.
Upon seeing the look of agony on Wang Ma’s face, the corners of Ye Xunhuan’s mouth slowly curved into a deep bitterness!
"Wang Ma, I’m sorry!" Ye Xunhuan lowered his head, not daring to meet Wang Ma’s eyes: "I truly couldn’t let him go!"
Wang Ma took a deep breath and only after a long pause did she slowly say, "I know, so I didn’t blame you, but I hate you, do you understand?"
This statement from Wang Ma sounded truly contradictory, but Ye Xunhuan could understand why Wang Ma would say this.
She didn’t blame Ye Xunhuan for killing the king because she knew the king had killed Ye Xunhuan’s parents, caused the death of Ye Xunhuan’s master and brothers!
And she hated Ye Xunhuan entirely because he killed the man she loved deeply. It sounds very contradictory, but it is not beyond comprehension.
"I understand!" Ye Xunhuan said softly: "But Wang Ma, no matter what, you will always be the Wang Ma in my heart!"
"Young master, I’m old and don’t ask for much, I just hope you can treat Zilin well, let the matters of the previous generation end here!"
Ye Xunhuan nodded, solemnly promising: "Wang Ma, rest assured, this matter will definitely not continue to spread!"
Seeing Ye Xunhuan speak so assuredly, Wang Ma felt at ease: "As long as you say this, I am relieved!"
"Wang Ma, I..."
As if knowing what Ye Xunhuan wanted to say, Wang Ma directly interrupted him, "Young master, don’t worry about me, I’m fine. Go ahead and take care of your own matters!"
Hearing Wang Ma say this, Ye Xunhuan understood that Wang Ma didn’t want to continue any conversation with him but instead wanted him to disappear from her sight, though she expressed it very tactfully.
After understanding Wang Ma’s intentions, Ye Xunhuan naturally didn’t continue to stay there. Even though there were other things in his heart he wanted to say to Wang Ma, Ye Xunhuan still got up and left the room.
After Ye Xunhuan walked out of the room, he immediately released a heavy breath from his mouth.
While facing Wang Ma, Ye Xunhuan felt immense pressure internally and found the atmosphere in the room quite oppressive. Now that he had walked out, he suddenly felt his whole body relax.
The next moment, Ye Xunhuan headed downstairs.
At this moment, Xiahou Yutong, Qiu Ruoxi, and others were all sitting downstairs. When they saw Ye Xunhuan coming down, almost everyone stood up simultaneously and asked about Wang Ma’s situation.
Ye Xunhuan didn’t conceal anything and told everyone the truth of the matter, also asking Qiu Ruoxi to take some food to Wang Ma, and meanwhile, console her a bit!
Qiu Ruoxi understood what Ye Xunhuan meant, and even if he hadn’t said anything, she would have gone to comfort Wang Ma herself.
......
Time passed quickly, and unknowingly, three days had already gone by, and Ye Xunhuan’s injuries were about seventy to eighty percent healed!
In these three days, almost all the guests had already left, even the Demon King had left.
Although three days had passed, Wang Ma was still as she was before, her mood being very low, and she didn’t speak much.
However, even so, everyone sighed in relief, as Wang Ma was much better compared to before.
As for Wang Zilin, perhaps because Dongfang Shu told her everything, she acted evasively when facing Ye Xunhuan, unsure of how to confront him.
Understanding this, Ye Xunhuan didn’t say much, considering he had killed the king.
Today, like always, Ye Xunhuan was in his kingdom, living a leisurely and peaceful life.
But this kind of peaceful life didn’t last long before it was completely disrupted.
And all of this stemmed from the information Victoria brought to Ye Xunhuan.
The information came from the Church, Michelle had passed on that the funeral for Louis III was imminent, and she wanted to see Ye Xunhuan.
If it were someone else, Ye Xunhuan would certainly not bother, but this was Michelle, and Ye Xunhuan couldn’t ignore it.
Now that Louis III had been killed, Michelle, as the Saint of the Church, likely had all the Church’s matters weighing on her shoulders now.
Could she handle it?
So, Ye Xunhuan planned to leave.
While Ye Xunhuan intended to leave, Qiu Ruoxi and others had no plans to leave; they all found Ye Xunhuan’s place quite wonderful and wanted to stay for a few more days as a holiday!
Even Qin Pojun was like this, as he also loved the local customs here and even had thoughts of retiring here.
In this regard, Ye Xunhuan certainly wouldn’t drive them away, as he originally hoped they would stay here!
Because this place is absolutely very safe, few people know about this secret island, and it’s heavily defended!
Now that they were willing to stay here, it certainly aligned with Ye Xunhuan’s wishes. Besides, Ye Xunhuan originally planned for Su Guyan and others to live here until he had resolved everything.
Although the king is now dead, and everything seems calm, Ye Xunhuan knows that undercurrents are stirring, and the situation will become more complex, especially with Lin Yuhai, who has probably moved.
Previously, Lin Yuhai had the king and could use him as a puppet. As long as he controlled the king, Lin Yuhai controlled everything. But now, with the king dead, his puppet is gone, and whenever anything happens, he will have to act himself.
Lin Yuhai is not like the king; he’s much tougher to deal with, so now that Qiu Ruoxi and others are willing to stay, Ye Xunhuan is more than happy.
Upon knowing the message from Michelle, Ye Xunhuan no longer remained in his kingdom but instead directly decided to go to the Church to visit Michelle!
Since Ye Xunhuan’s injuries were mostly healed, Olivia didn’t follow him; she chose to stay behind.
This time, the departure was entirely Ye Xunhuan’s decision, but Victoria followed him.
In Victoria’s view, following Ye Xunhuan this time would allow her many opportunities to spend time with him.
Ye Xunhuan was aware of Victoria’s thoughts but didn’t say much, as he couldn’t stop Victoria’s thoughts and actions.

(PS: I attended a gathering today, it was a last-minute decision, and I didn’t have time to inform anyone. It took me until now to finish writing the third Chapter. I’m very sorry, I hope my brothers and sisters can understand; I may not be able to finish the fourth Chapter, but I will make up for it tomorrow, rest assured!)
