Qingyi Bureau headquarters.
Hum!
An almost imperceptible ripple spread through space.
Ye Li and Ye Shenfeng stepped out of the void, returning to everyone's sight.
Having resolved the Federation's crisis, Ye Li did not linger over pleasantries.
His gaze swept over Zhang Qingliu and the others who had been waiting there, and he spoke calmly:
"It's time for me to go."
At those words,
the already tense atmosphere in the room froze.
Zhang Qingliu's expression stiffened. He could not help stepping forward to urge him to stay:
"General Ye, you've only just returned, and the situation on Blue Star has only just stabilized. Why not stay a little longer?"
"I can't."
Ye Li shook his head and said bluntly:
"I have more important things to do."
He knew full well.
If the threat from outside was real, and his conjectures about the outside world were also true,
then one day, an unstoppable catastrophe would descend upon this universe.
Hiding alone would never save them.
It was like hanging a sharp sword from the ceiling above his bed before going to sleep.
No matter how much he reassured himself that the sword would not fall, he would still struggle to sleep, finding no peace day or night.
In that case,
rather than sit and wait for death, he might as well take the initiative.
It was better to investigate sooner and snap the sword hanging over his head!
"Junior brother..."
Chen Jingli took a small step forward. Her cool eyes held an unexpectedly deep reluctance to part as she asked softly:
"What exactly is the reason?"
"Why are you leaving in such a hurry... can we help?"
"No."
Ye Li answered honestly.
Looking at their tense expressions, he added mildly:
"The truth would mean nothing to you as you are now.
