Cold Family, Cold Bo Yuan Mansion.
The soft sunlight of early spring filtered through the window panes, casting dappled light on the floor, creating a drowsy atmosphere.
In the hall, there were five people led by Cold Boyuan. Among them were Cold Bo Stone, Leng Bo Feng, and Cold Yang. Cold Frost was also present because she couldn't find Ye Tian yesterday.
At this moment, their faces were filled with worry and fatigue, having not slept all night while waiting for Ye Tian.
Rubbing his somewhat dry eyes, Cold Bo Stone stood up from his seat. After sighing, he remained silent, pacing from his seat to the door and back again, appearing restless.
The atmosphere in the room was heavy and oppressive, especially for Cold Frost, whose delicate face had turned somewhat waxy from excessive worry. Her tightly furrowed brows seemed to have remained tense throughout the night...
Ye Tian had started his mission last night. Given his current strength, killing Xu Ao should not have been difficult. Why had he not returned yet...?
“Ye Tian, please don’t let anything happen to you...” Cold Boyuan thought to himself, his expression growing even more anxious.
“Second brother, it’s already noon. Could something have gone wrong...?” Cold Bo Stone stopped his pacing, his tone filled with concern.
Cold Bo Stone's rough and loud voice suddenly broke the silence in the room.
Everyone exchanged glances, seeing a hint of unease in each other's eyes.
“Uncle Leng, I’m back.”
With that call, a young figure stepped into the hall.
After that figure came to a stop, the tense expressions on everyone's faces instantly relaxed, and the heavy burden in their hearts finally eased.
"Brother Ye Tian!" Cold Frost cheered as she ran forward, grabbing the young man's hand, her bright eyes glimmering with unshed tears.
"Xiaoshuang, I'm fine," Ye Tian gently stroked Cold Frost's hair, feeling a surge of emotion within him.
Cold Bo Stone looked Ye Tian up and down, and after seeing that he seemed fine, he roared, "Why did you take so long to come back? I couldn't sleep all night because of you!"
"Yeah, Xiao Tian, did something unexpected happen?" Cold Boyuan also asked.
After scanning the hall and confirming that Wu Xiaozhuang was not present, Ye Tian slowly spoke, "Wu Xiaozhuang is undoubtedly the traitor!"
Everyone's breath caught at his words. Although they had their suspicions about the latter, hearing Ye Tian confirm it left them somewhat shocked.
"Damn it! I even taught him the Bagua Seal Palm, and he turned around to collude with outsiders to harm our Cold Family members. I'm going to find him right now!" Cold Bo Stone cursed angrily and turned to leave.
"Big Brother!" Cold Boyuan quickly called out to stop him, feeling somewhat helpless about his reckless and impulsive brother.
"Big Brother, this matter is not as simple as you think!" Cold Boyuan explained to the furious Cold Bo Stone. "The timing isn't right. Acting recklessly like you will put the Cold Family in an extremely dangerous position."
Cold Bo Stone still had great faith in his thoughtful younger brother, so he could only suppress his anger and sit back down in his seat.
"I fought with him last night," Ye Tian continued after Cold Bo Stone settled down.
Everyone looked at Ye Tian, waiting for him to elaborate.
"At that time, Xu Ao had already been subdued by me and was about to reveal everything when he was killed to silence him." Ye Tian paused before continuing, "This shows that the traitor must be him without a doubt."
"Then what happened after you fought?" Cold Yang asked.
"I let him escape," Ye Tian sighed and said, "It's really a pity that I couldn't kill him when I had the chance."
Everyone felt a stir in their hearts. In a confrontation of the same level, the difference in strength should not be significant, so it should have been a close match. However, from Ye Tian's words, it was clear that for him, defeating Wu Xiaozhuang was a matter of course, and not being able to kill him was indeed regrettable.
Cold Yang looked at Ye Tian with fiery eyes, thinking to himself, "With Ye Tian's strength, he is probably unmatched among his peers!"
Cold Boyuan's pupils suddenly constricted as he recovered from his surprise and said in a deep voice, "In that case, for his son Wu Tianci, he might retaliate at any moment!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of everyone in the room became serious.
They all understood that Wu Tianci and Cold Wu were birds of a feather. They held nearly half of the Cold Family's power in their hands. If they truly initiated an internal conflict, it would be a devastating blow to the Cold Family!
"Don't worry. Although we both knew each other's identities during our fight yesterday, we didn't expose it. Moreover, Wu Xiaozhuang was wearing a mask, so for now, they probably won't take any major actions," Ye Tian said. He paused and turned his gaze to Cold Frost, seriously adding, "However, everyone should still be cautious, especially Xiaoshuang."
"Ye Tian is right; it's better for everyone to be careful. Wu Xiaozhuang can collude with Xu Ao to secretly harm the Cold Family, which shows his ruthless ambition. He won't give up easily," Cold Boyuan said as he patted Ye Tian on the shoulder. It seemed that this young man had become one of the pillars of the Cold Family.
Everyone nodded.
"As long as everyone understands this matter clearly, don't show any obvious signs when facing Wu Xiaozhuang. Now is not the time to confront them openly," Cold Boyuan added.
"Also, keep quiet about the assassination of Xu Ao to avoid unnecessary trouble."
This operation was extremely secretive; apart from the five people present, no one in the Cold Family knew about it. Yet Wu Xiaozhuang could intervene in secret...
Thinking of this, Ye Tian felt a hint of doubt arise in his heart.
“Xiaoshuang, has Wu Xiaozhuang contacted you recently?” The gaze swept across the group, finally resting on Cold Frost. Among these five, it was impossible for any of them to be Wu Xiaozhuang's accomplice; the only possibility was that someone had been used by him.
“He has,” Cold Frost lightly bit her lip, as if realizing something.
“What did he say to you?” Ye Tian continued to press.
“He said he wanted to help you, so I...” Cold Frost lowered her head apologetically, pouting slightly.
Upon hearing this, Ye Tian understood why Wu Xiaozhuang was able to track his movements.
“It’s okay, Xiaoshuang. You were just trying to help me,” Ye Tian said gently with a soft smile. “But you need to be careful from now on. No matter what Wu Xiaozhuang says, don’t believe him anymore. Also, either stay with Uncle Leng or come find me; just try not to be alone.”
Under Ye Tian's caring and gentle tone, Cold Frost's eyes slightly reddened, and a warm feeling surged in her heart.
Seeing the deep affection between the two, everyone else couldn't help but smile before leaving to give them a world of their own.
The atmosphere quieted down, and in the spacious hall, only two figures remained standing silently, gazing deeply at each other.
To the readers:
Today there will be three updates; two more will come at nine o'clock. This chapter and the next may seem a bit plain, but the protagonist's breakthrough is about to arrive!
