Xu Yan froze, not understanding what Ye Yu meant. She only thought he was speaking in anger. "Family ties are the hardest to sever. Isn't that true?"
"I don't want to argue with you. You have your views, and I have my own thoughts. Right now, all I know is that only interests are eternal and unchanging," Ye Yu said blandly.
Hearing this, Xu Yan said nothing more. People were different from one another; she knew she could not persuade Ye Yu.
Nor did she want to clash with Ye Yu too severely. After all, Xiao Xuan's life was still in his hands.
"Young Master, someone is following us," Liu Qi suddenly said.
Ye Yu turned back and swept his gaze over the area, his eyes settling on the town below. "Mm. Go deal with them. When you're done, find me in the city."
"Yes." Liu Qi nodded, then turned and left.
Ye Yu brought Xu Yan down into the city. They found a teahouse and took their seats.
Naturally, Xu Yan had no say in the matter. She quietly sat opposite Ye Yu, propping up her chin as she watched the people coming and going on the street, her eyes filled with envy.
"Envious?" Ye Yu asked.
Xu Yan did not hide it and nodded. "Yes. Ordinary people have their own kind of happiness. If I could choose, I would rather not have been born into the Xu Family, nor stepped foot into the cultivation world."
"You've experienced it all, so of course you have the right to say that. Who knew how many people envied someone like you, born with a golden spoon in your mouth?" Ye Yu said with a faint smile.
"But that golden spoon brought about the extermination of my family!" Xu Yan said painfully.
