What did he just call me?
He called me Ye-zi.
He called me Ye-zi.
Ye Zichen stared blankly at the man kneeling on the ground. Su Yan hugged him and cried.
Ye-zi …
It was autumn. Red maple leaves covered the entire Polytechnic University's sports field. Ye Zichen, who'd just registered, dragged his simple suitcase to his dorm room ….
"Hey, you're new?"
The one who spoke was a young man who was smoking on the windowsill. His clothes looked expensive at first glance.
"Mhm."
Back then, he'd maintained an absolute distance from strangers. Even now, it was still the same. Ye Zichen looked at the empty beds in the room, then placed his suitcase on the bed by the window.
"Not bad, you even chose a window seat. It seems we're kindred spirits?"
The youth nudged him with his shoulder. Ye Zichen frowned in displeasure, but said nothing.
"Stop pretending. We can see the female dorm building from here. Beauty Su's dorm room is right across the street. I heard all the women there are top quality. Right, I still don't know your name, brother. "
"Ye Zichen."
Ye Zichen didn't particularly like this sort of friendly greeting. He frowned as he replied.
He really wanted to use his icy tone to force the youth to back off, but he never would've guessed that the guy would reach out and wrap his arm around his shoulder.
"I'm Su Yiyun. Hey … Ye Zichen, then I'll call you Ye-zi from now on! Ye-zi, I like you too. Do you want Beauty Su's phone number? I can give it to you! "
That was how Ye Zichen got his name.
Perhaps Ye Zichen didn't even know why they'd become such good brothers despite having completely different personalities when they first entered university.
Until ….
"I'm telling you, let's …. disperse."
Su Yiyun stood by Gu Li's side, a chilling smile tugging at his lips. Behind him stood an army of demons that blotted out the sky, while Ye Zichen …..
Countless motionless corpses lay on the ground, as well as Su Yan, whom Su Yiyun had coldly kicked away.
His best brother!
Went to the demons!
In Ye Zichen's heart, he'd defended him countless times and found all sorts of excuses for him.
However, everything that happened afterwards caused his heart to grow colder and colder. Only now did he truly decide to kill Su Yiyun ….
But he ….
Ye-zi?
"Brother!"
Su Yan hugged Su Yiyun tightly and wept bitterly. Her cries were heart-wrenching.
Su Zhu landed in front of Su Liu'er. When she saw Su Liu'er's missing arm, her heart ached inexplicably, but when she saw that Su Liu'er had truly calmed down ….
She felt a little more at ease.
Ye Zichen stood in the middle of all of this in a daze. He looked at his trembling hand, which was still dripping with blood.
Didn't he seek refuge with the Devil Race?
Didn't he say that they were enemies and not friends?
One scene after another flashed through Ye Zichen's mind. No matter how resolute his words were, they were all defeated by Ye Zichen's final words.
"Old Third!"
He spared no effort in pouring pure spiritual power into Su Yiyun's body, but when it did, he discovered that Su Yiyun didn't have long to live.
"Forget it, don't waste your energy on me. My life has come to an end! "
Su Yiyun pushed Ye Zichen's hand away with a smile, then patted Su Yan's head.
"Actually, I'm quite glad I got the chance to see you guys again."
"You've never truly sought refuge with the demons, have you? You've never truly sought refuge with them, have you?" shouted Ye Zichen.
"Of course, I'm your brother, the reincarnation of the Yellow Emperor. The demons are your greatest enemy. How could I possibly ally myself with them? Are they even worthy? "
Su Yiyun smiled casually, but when Ye Zichen heard that, his mind went blank.
Are they worthy?
That one sentence explained everything!
From start to finish, Su Yiyun had never once cared about the demons.
"Then why did you lie to me? Why did you tell me that you were enemies and not friends? Why did you fight me for the demons again and again? Just why …. Su Yiyun, tell me! Just why!?"
Ye Zichen shouted angrily. He didn't understand ….
Just why was Su Yiyun able to put on such a perfect act? He wasn't an actor, so how could he act so realistically?
Why!?
Was it because ….
"I want you to kill me with your own hands." Just as that thought surfaced in Ye Zichen's mind, Su Yiyun laughed. "I'm doing this so you'll hate me, so you'll kill me with your own hands …. I've harmed far too many innocent people. You represent the people of the Three Realms. If you kill me …. Consider it revenge for them!"
"Bullshit!" roared Ye Zichen, his eyes bloodshot. "You still haven't told me why you went to the demons. Gu Li already said that if you and I work together, how could the demons possibly be our match? So long as we work together, you won't …. "
As he said that, Ye Zichen choked up.
Twenty years old.
His life force had been wasted to the point of exhaustion. Ye Zichen simply couldn't understand what Su Yiyun had gone through in the demons' territory to exhaust his life force to such an extent.
"It's the same. The power I control now came from exhausting my own life force. Even if I were on your side, if I hadn't exhausted my life force, I wouldn't have my current strength. "
Su Yiyun smiled calmly, his eyes filled with relief.
"You don't need to tell me why I didn't tell you. I have no way of telling you. From the moment I placed my piece, there was no way of replaying the game. Besides, I have to stand on the demons' side in order to maximize the heat waves I radiate! "
"I don't understand what you're saying."
Ye Zichen shook his head repeatedly. He didn't understand a single thing Su Yiyun was saying.
"Cough ….."
At that moment, Su Yiyun coughed up a mouthful of blood. Su Yan, who was treating his wounds, inexplicably trembled.
Su Yiyun simply wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with his sleeve, then reached out and tousled Su Yan's hair.
"Alright, stop treating me. Lil 'Yan …. Big brother let you down back then."
Su Yan shook her head repeatedly, and the light in her hand grew brighter and brighter. But no matter what she did, Su Yiyun's aura only grew weaker and weaker.
She hated herself. Why hadn't she followed that person in her mind and learned healing arts ….
Why had she always been so timid and afraid to touch him?
It was all because of her timidity, her fear …. She couldn't save her big brother.
"Lil 'Yan!" When he saw Su Yan sweat, Su Yiyun couldn't help but try to comfort her. However, Su Yan shouted firmly, "Don't worry about me. Don't say anything …."
Su Yan lowered her head and pressed her hands against Su Yiyun's chest.
Su Yiyun could only shake his head helplessly, then turned to Ye Zichen and smiled.
