Only then did Xue Chen come back to his senses and look at Ye Yu.
Ye Yu was right. At least for now, Ye Yu did not seem all that hostile toward them. If it had been someone else, the outcome would likely have been even worse.
Besides, the only people they could trade for now were members of the Ye family.
"Fine. As long as you stop harboring any crooked thoughts, I agree," Xue Chen said coldly after taking a deep breath.
"As long as you don't act recklessly, neither will I. You were the ones who started this mess, weren't you?" Ye Yu grinned, then continued, "Now that the matter is settled, I'm leaving."
"Wait. Don't you want to take this person with you? I heard Ye Xuan say that you used to be very close to her." Xue Chen pointed at Ye Qingwan.
At his words, Ye Qingwan forced her eyes wide open and looked toward Ye Yu.
She longed for things to be as they had been countless times before—whenever she encountered trouble, Ye Yu would appear and help her solve it.
"I don't ask for much. How about you kneel and kowtow to me once? Though she looks like this now, with your abilities, restoring her should not be difficult," Xue Chen said with a faint smile.
From the very beginning, Ye Yu had led him around by the nose. Now, before the Devil Race army arrived, he wanted to vent some of his anger.
Ye Yu gave Ye Qingwan an indifferent glance before saying, "You also know that was in the past."
With that, Ye Yu waved his hand and turned into a streak of light, departing.
Watching Ye Yu's retreating figure, despair instantly filled Ye Qingwan's eyes, and she lowered her head weakly.
