35: Chapter 35 You should come too!
Where the massive fireball had exploded, Li Hao lay slowly on the ground.
Most of his clothes had been burned to ashes, revealing skin covered in bloody wounds, his hands struggling to prop him up on the ground.
"Cough, cough, cough!"
A series of violent coughs quickly erupted from his mouth.
Li Shiya, who had been full of despair, saw her eyes light up instantly upon hearing those coughs.
She shouted excitedly, "Brother~"
However, looking at Ye Fan's figure, a trace of fear appeared in her heart; she was afraid that Ye Fan would strike at Li Hao again.
Thus, she stared intently at Ye Fan. She called out with a crying tone, "Ye Fan..."
But the words that had just reached her lips were instantly swallowed back.
Ye Fan paid her no mind, nor did he strike again at the battered, half-dead Li Hao lying on the ground.
Instead, he beckoned to Ji Yuyan, who had stayed far away in a safe position.
Upon seeing this, Ji Yuyan trotted over to Ye Fan's side, her face showing a bit of nervous concern as she asked, "Ye Fan, you didn't get hurt, did you?"
Ye Fan smiled and said, "I'm fine!"
"That's good, that's good!"
Ye Fan slowly turned his head, his gaze returning to Li Shiya, who was slumped on the ground, and said in a deep voice, "Where is Su Wanqing?"
Li Shiya slowly raised her head and whispered, "She is safe now, she is at my house."
Upon hearing this, Ye Fan shouldered the Star Blade and quickly strode toward the main entrance of the Li Family Mansion.
Ji Yuyan followed closely behind.
Li Chongan, unaware of the situation, saw Ye Fan striding quickly toward them and, enduring severe pain, scrambled up from the ground.
With great Speed, he quickly appeared in front of Li Hao, constantly defending against Ye Fan, fearing that Ye Fan would strike his son.
Discovering that Li Shiya had not followed, Ye Fan stopped in his tracks, turned his head to look at Li Shiya still slumped on the ground, and said calmly, "Why aren't you following yet?"
"Ye... yes, right away!" Upon hearing Ye Fan's words, Li Shiya quickly scrambled up from the ground, held up her skirt with both hands, and trotted quickly to follow behind Ye Fan.
Back behind Ye Fan, she kept her head down the entire time, following him.
The three of them walked quickly past the father and son, Li Hao and Li Chongan.
During this, Ye Fan didn't even glance at the two of them, walking on his own toward the interior of the Li Family Mansion.
As for Ji Yuyan, her gaze swept over the two from time to time, a hint of curiosity in her eyes.
Li Shiya kept her head lowered the whole time. When she reached them, she exchanged a look with her father, then lowered her head again, following behind Ye Fan as they walked toward the house.
Li Chongan, who had been constantly on guard against Ye Fan, finally let out a slow sigh of relief in his heart after watching Ye Fan leave.
He turned quickly, knelt beside Li Hao, and reached out to help Li Hao up from the ground.
Then he asked with great concern, "Hao'er, are you alright?"
"Dad, I don't have any major issues, it's just that my right hand and left foot are probably fractured, but luckily I'm not dying." Li Hao endured his injuries and said in a deep voice.
"That's good, that's good!" Li Chongan supported Li Hao, saying with a worried face.
Just then, Li Chongan suddenly thought of something, froze in place, his face turning pale. After a few seconds of silence, he suddenly cried out.
"What? You mean your right hand and left foot are fractured, and you call that no major problem?" Li Chongan opened his eyes wide, his face full of speechlessness.
Li Hao said slowly, "Compared to losing my life, this really isn't a major problem."
Li Chongan: ...
... Li Family Mansion, in a luxurious room. The door was slowly opened.
Su Wanqing, who had been imprisoned in this room, stood up instantly upon hearing the door open, her gaze fixed on the room's door.
Su Wanqing's hands tightly clutched the hem of her clothes, her knuckles turning white, her eyes filled with alertness and fear.
When she saw the familiar figure at the door, her pupils shrank sharply, then her face filled with disbelief, and the final words escaped her lips instantly: "Ye Fan?"
A smile instantly spread across her face as she gathered her skirt and trotted quickly toward Ye Fan.
On her smiling face, two teardrops had unknowingly appeared. She grabbed Ye Fan's hands and said excitedly, "Ye Fan, it really is you!"
She had never expected that Ye Fan would actually come to save her.
"Yeah, it's me! Are you okay?" Ye Fan looked at Su Wanqing, who had tears hanging from the corners of her eyes, and spoke in a gentle voice.
"I'm fine, I just didn't expect you to really come to save me." Su Wanqing's voice carried a crying tone, her eyes full of grievance.
Ye Fan reached out to wipe the tears from Su Wanqing's face, his voice deep and slow: "Alright, stop crying, be good!"
"Mm!" Su Wanqing nodded slowly.
Ji Yuyan followed behind, thoughtfully closing the door behind her, not forgetting to flash a reassuring smile at Su Wanqing.
Li Shiya stood timidly at the door, not daring to take another step forward, only stealing glances at Su Wanqing, her eyes filled with shame.
Then she apologized in a low voice to Su Wanqing: "Wanqing, I'm sorry, it's all my fault..." Li Shiya slowly lowered her head, not daring to look at Su Wanqing again.
The person who had forcibly brought Su Wanqing here was not her, but her brother. This matter had started because of her, and Li Shiya felt very apologetic in her heart.
"It's okay! You don't need to apologize to me; I know this matter has nothing to do with you." Su Wanqing looked at Li Shiya, who was standing with her head lowered, and said slowly with a crying tone.
"But..." Li Shiya stammered, but was interrupted by Ye Fan, "Alright, alright! Since she's fine now, you don't need to blame yourself anymore. She already said this matter has nothing to do with you."
Ye Fan paused for a moment, then continued, "If you really feel like you owe her, just treat her well in the future."
Upon hearing Ye Fan's words, Li Shiya slowly raised her head again, looking at Ye Fan's face with a complex expression. She didn't say anything.
Ye Fan put the Star Blade in his hand back into his system storage space and said calmly, "It's getting late now, let's go back first!"
"Mm!" Su Wanqing and Ji Yuyan, who was to the side, nodded quickly, expressing their agreement.
Neither of them really wanted to stay here any longer.
Ye Fan's gaze fell on Li Shiya, and he said in a casual tone: "That, you come along too! Although I am very dissatisfied with what happened today, but who made you my woman?"
Li Shiya nodded slowly. Just like that, Ye Fan led the three women and walked out of the mansion.
