Su Yang's chest heaved up and down violently. He was rarely so angry. He was so angry that he wanted to curse out loud and use the most vicious words to hurt this old man who was about to die.
How could these people treat Xi Ye like this? They were not gods. What right did they have to dictate other people's lives? Although that man was powerful, he was still an ordinary person with flesh and blood. When he was treated unfairly, he would also be disappointed, sad, and resentful.
Su Yang's childhood was very comfortable, so he couldn't imagine how Xi Ye got through that difficult period. He was so young and didn't know anything about the world, but he was forced to stain his hands with blood. He was used and hurt by the people he trusted. In order to survive, he had to fight countless enemies with his life …
Perhaps it was because he suffered so much malice that he became the cold-blooded, heartless, and indifferent Xi Ye today.
He threw himself into the man's arms, and unprecedented grievances swept through his chest. The tears in his eyes finally fell, wetting his cheeks and the man's clothes.
This child rarely cried in front of him. Xi Ye's chest was almost burned by his tears. He asked in a deep voice, "Who bullied you?"
Su Yang shook his head. If he had a choice, he would rather be bullied than let Xi Ye go through those inhumane experiences.
Xi Ye didn't believe him. He stroked Su Yang's hair and softly coaxed him, "Good boy, tell me what happened. I'll avenge you, no matter who the other party is."
Su Yang kept shaking his head. Xi Ye's cold gaze swept across the upstairs, and a trace of hostility flashed across his eyes. He stepped up the stairs, and Su Yang quickly grabbed the corner of his clothes. His voice had returned to normal. "Xi Ye, I don't like it here. Let's leave immediately, okay?"
At this time, the Xi family had already rushed over. Xi Ming's face was full of disbelief. He pointed at Xi Ye and said angrily, "Xi Ye, as a marshal of the Federation, you broke the law by trespassing on private property! Everyone here today is a witness. I'm going to take you to the military court! "
Xi Ye didn't seem to hear him. She just looked down and kissed Su Yang on the forehead. She said softly, "Okay, let's leave now."
His posture made many people present feel as if they were in a dream. Was this person really Xi Ye? That emotionless monster? When had he ever had such a gentle side to him? Even Yin Heng, who was watching the show from the side, was stunned. He did not come forward to help in time.
Xi Ming's face was ashen, but he didn't dare step forward because he was afraid of Xi Ye's martial prowess. He stood two meters away and shouted, "Xi Ye, what do you think the Xi family is? Do you think you can come and go as you please?"
Xi Ye's face was as cold as water. He said indifferently, "The Xi family, the number one aristocratic family in the Federation, has been domineering on the main planet for hundreds of years. It's time for them to fall."
His tone was nonchalant, but the malice hidden in it was chilling. The three old marshals all had expressions of disbelief, and Xi Ming's expression changed drastically. They all knew that Xi Yi never spoke empty words. He really did intend to go against the Xi Family.
No one doubted whether he could succeed. He could easily flatten a planet. The Xi family, who had lost their military power, was no match for him.
"What do you mean?!" Xi Yuan walked out from the crowd and said angrily, "Are you threatening my father? Don't forget, your surname is also Xi. If it weren't for the Xi family, would you be where you are today? Are you trying to bite the hand that feeds you? "
Xi Ye ignored him and walked out holding Su Yang's hand. Xi Yuan was furious. He chased after them but was stopped by his father. "Enough. You're no match for him!"
"But Father, this ingrate is too arrogant. Grandfather shouldn't have raised him back then. He should have been left to fend for himself."
As soon as he finished speaking, Su Yang, who was almost out of the door, stopped abruptly. He turned around and glared at Xi Yuan. His voice was cold. "Of all the things you said, only the last two are correct. The Xi family shouldn't have raised Xi Ye. Without you, he would have lived a better life."
At this time, Xi Zhengtao also walked down the stairs. He looked straight at Xi Ye. His old eyes contained too many emotions. There was guilt, regret, and also relief from the bottom of his heart. Xi Ye, however, did not spare him a glance.
Xi Zhengtao looked at the two figures who were leaning against each other. His heart was filled with sorrow.
In fact, he had expected this day to come. If the descendants of the Xi family were more well-behaved, there might still be hope for them to survive. Unfortunately, these juniors did not know how to restrain themselves and insisted on fighting for military power and causing trouble. He was still alive and could barely take care of them. Once he passed away, the Xi family would be completely destroyed.
He sighed softly and said dejectedly, "You can go."
Xi Yuan was still young after all. How could he hold himself back when he heard this? He shouted, "Grandfather, didn't you hear what he said just now? He said that he wants the Xi family to fall! If we let him go just like that, where will the Xi family's face go? "
Xi Zhengtao said in a low voice, "I'm not dead yet. You have to listen to me. Let them go."
Xi Yuan did not dare to disobey him and could only step aside unhappily. However, he did not know that his grandfather's actions were actually to protect him.
Xi Zhengtao knew better than anyone that if they spoke rudely to Xi Yi, or even insulted him with filthy words, that person wouldn't have any reaction because he didn't care at all. However, if they had a conflict with Su Yang and hurt him in the slightest, the consequences would definitely be unpredictable.
Once a cold-blooded man's blood was heated up because of someone, he would protect that person even if he had to die. This was the irreversible nature of the Zisai people.
Xi Ye looked up indifferently. The strict man in his memory was so old that he could not recognize him. He actually did not hate Xi Zhengtao that much. The thoughts that were instilled in him since he was young had already distorted his worldview. The inhumane treatment in the eyes of ordinary people was the normal way of survival for him.
However, he did not feel grateful. The so-called kindness of raising him was just using each other and taking what they needed. It had nothing to do with kinship.
He took Su Yang's hand and strode out with him in his arms. The boy's protection of him had already warmed his heart. Other people were not worthy of his attention.

When they got home, Xi Ye pressed him down on the sofa and kissed him. Su Yang was kissed so hard that he could not breathe. He pushed his chest and gasped for breath. "You, where did you go today? I woke up and couldn't find you. I was so worried."
Xi Ye caressed his face and said, "I'm sorry. Something urgent came up in the military and I had to deal with it personally."
