Winter has passed, and it is now early spring, with grass and trees budding and fragrances filling the air.
A gentle breeze blows through the Forest, softly caressing faces like a thin veil of mist.
Ye Tian accompanies Cold Moon along the path in the Forest, and before they know it, they arrive at a low cliff.
Ahead, mist rises, and the evening sun paints half the sky red, creating a scene of tranquility and peace.
"Ye Tian, I want to go back," Cold Moon says softly, gazing into the distance.
"Then let's go," Ye Tian replies, not fully understanding her words as he turns to leave.
"I mean back to Spirit Martial Town, back home," Cold Moon's tone carries bitterness and melancholy; she feels disappointed with this place.
She came to the Cloud Sea Sect because of Thunderstorm, but today, Thunderstorm has broken her heart.
Upon hearing this, Ye Tian's heart tightens. The Cold Family has already perished; that so-called home no longer exists.
Cold Moon is still unaware of all this; she is still hoping for a harbor after drifting.
"Should I tell her..." Ye Tian hesitates. In truth, Cold Moon will eventually learn about the fall of the Cold Family; it's just a matter of time.
Telling her now could at least consolidate all her sorrow into one moment, preventing her from facing multiple blows. However, Ye Tian fears that if she receives too much shock at once, it could lead to unpredictable consequences.
After a period of contemplation, Ye Tian decided to tell her now. A person's capacity for endurance is limited, and when faced with more painful situations, they tend to diminish the impact of relatively weaker stimuli.
"What are you thinking about?" Cold Moon asked when Ye Tian remained silent for a long time.
"Um... Sister Ningyue, there's something I want to talk to you about." Ye Tian stammered. Although he had made up his mind, he still found it hard to say the words.
"Go ahead," Cold Moon replied surprisingly calmly.
Seeing this, Ye Tian became even more flustered. He had a vague feeling that Cold Moon might already know.
"You need to be mentally prepared," Ye Tian reminded her again.
"Don't worry, I'm much stronger than you think," Cold Moon forced a smile, but anyone could see how strained that smile was.
"Alright, then I'll say it." Ye Tian steeled himself; it had to be said sooner or later, so he might as well take this opportunity to say it now.
"The Cold Family has been destroyed." After saying this, Ye Tian took a deep breath. This matter was not only a painful scar for Cold Moon but also for him.
Both fell into silence as the clouds rolled in the sky and the sunset gradually descended, darkening the day.
"I had a premonition long ago," Cold Moon finally spoke after a while.
"Sister Ningyue, the deceased are gone. I believe their spirits hope for us to live better lives," Ye Tian recalled the image of Cold Frost, his voice and smile vivid in his mind.
"I know, but..." Cold Moon finally couldn't maintain her composure any longer. She broke down in tears and threw herself into Ye Tian's arms.
At that moment, Thunderstorm suddenly appeared from behind the cliff. He had come to find Cold Moon to explain things, but upon seeing this scene, his heart trembled with rage.
Despite having just agreed to marry Qiu Tiande's daughter!
Yet when he witnessed this moment, he was filled with uncontrollable anger, without a hint of guilt, only resentment.
Clap! Clap! Clap!
Applause came from behind. Cold Moon quickly pulled away from Ye Tian's embrace, and the two turned to see Thunderstorm wearing a grim smile.
Upon seeing Thunderstorm, Cold Moon felt strangely indifferent. If she had known it was him, she might have lingered in Ye Tian's arms a little longer.
"Well, well!" Thunderstorm approached with a sarcastic tone.
Ye Tian remained silent; the misunderstanding was already formed. Given Thunderstorm's personality, explaining would be futile, so there was no need for it.
"Thunderstorm, what are you doing here? Shouldn't you be with your little junior sister?" Cold Moon called out.
"Right, you're absolutely right. I should be with her, but there's no rush; after all, there will be plenty of time in the future," Thunderstorm replied, his tone even colder than Cold Moon's.
"What do you mean?" Ye Tian immediately became furious.
"What do you mean you don't understand? I'm here to let you know that in three months, I will be marrying Qiu Ziya. I hope you can come and support us then." Thunderstorm's dark eyes locked onto Ye Tian, as if ready to unleash flames that would consume him.
"You bastard!" Ye Tian shouted angrily and struck out with his palm.
"Ye Tian!" Cold Moon tried to intervene, but in Ye Tian's fury, she found it impossible to stop him.
"Haha, a man fights for a woman!" Thunderstorm sneered, his arms tensed. "Do you even deserve it?!"
Bang!
Their palms collided with a thunderous sound, and a shockwave surged outward, uprooting grass, stones, and trees around them, sending dust and debris flying.
"Ugh!" Ye Tian grunted as he was sent flying back; he truly had no strength to contend with Thunderstorm.
"Do you think I'm some useless Chai Shi or that you're Qin Fufeng? Trying to act tough in front of me? You better check if you have the strength for that!" Thunderstorm spoke with bravado, but he still had to secretly circulate his Martial Origin Power to alleviate the soreness in his arm.
"Thunderstorm, is that all you're here to tell me?" Cold Moon asked coldly as she helped Ye Tian steady himself.
"No, no, no, how could that be?" Thunderstorm shook his head with a cold smile and continued, "I'm mainly here to congratulate you. Ye Tian is quite impressive—one of the best among the new generation of Cloud Sea Sect. Although he's younger than you and was once your prospective brother-in-law, the two of you together are simply a match made in heaven. It couldn't be more fitting."
"You... you!" Cold Moon was so furious she couldn't speak, feeling her insides churn as if she might spit blood.
"What about me? What do you want to say? Do you still have the face to say anything?" Thunderstorm suddenly roared.
"Alright! Thunderstorm, from now on, we will have nothing to do with each other!" Cold Moon gritted her teeth, her heart completely shattered by Thunderstorm.
"Miss, are you overthinking? Do you think this is Spirit Martial Town? Do you think you are the most powerful young lady?" Thunderstorm sneered, disdain evident in her tone. She continued, "Let me tell you, here, you are nothing. Besides having a pretty face, you are nothing! You are just a local from a small place. Do you think you deserve me? How could you even think of making me green?!"
"Say that again!" Cold Moon trembled all over, never expecting Thunderstorm would say such things.
"I could say it a hundred times if I wanted; this is my true feeling!" As she spoke, Thunderstorm pointed at Ye Tian. "Ever since he arrived, you practically want to live with him every day. Do you still have any shame? Do you still have any shame?!"
Cold Frost was stunned. She could sense the resentment in Thunderstorm's words. Although Thunderstorm was more in the wrong, she really couldn't refute it because she could deceive others but not herself; she indeed had developed different feelings for Ye Tian...
At this moment, Ye Tian was surprisingly calm; there is always a period of extreme calm before the storm arrives.
"Alright, I've said everything I needed to say. Cold Moon, from today onwards, we have no ties." After saying this, Thunderstorm turned and left.
After taking a couple of steps, Thunderstorm suddenly stopped again, turned back to look at Ye Tian and said, "You want to kill me now, right? Good, I think the same way. But let's leave it for today; today is my engagement day. Next time we meet, I hope you won't fall into my hands."
"Thunderstorm, rest assured; we will soon have an end to this." Ye Tian said calmly. He didn't care who was right or wrong; Cold Moon was the last bloodline of the Cold Family. Anyone who dared to harm her would eventually pay the price.
"Very well, I look forward to the day you defeat me." Thunderstorm scoffed and with a flash of her figure, she finally disappeared.
After Thunderstorm left, Cold Moon collapsed to the ground as if there was nothing left to support her existence. Her current feeling was that the whole world had abandoned her.
"Sister Ningyue." Ye Tian stepped forward wanting to help her up but was pushed away by Cold Moon.
"Go away, don't mind me. Thunderstorm is right; I'm just a promiscuous woman. I've fallen for my sister's fiancé, and I feel guilty towards Frosty's spirit. In the process of longing for Thunderstorm, I've developed feelings for someone else, and I feel guilty towards Thunderstorm. I know I shouldn't like you, but I've still fallen for you, and I feel guilty towards myself..."
Upon hearing this, Ye Tian stood frozen in place. To be honest, he had sensed that Cold Moon seemed to have some unusual feelings for him. However, he hadn't taken it seriously. Hearing Cold Moon admit it herself today left him at a loss for words.
"Sister Ningyue, that's not love; it's merely a kind of familial dependence," Ye Tian said after thinking for a long time.
"Maybe. I want to be alone for a while; can you leave?" Cold Moon seemed to regain her composure.
Ye Tian hesitated for a moment but ultimately decided to leave. He couldn't stay by Cold Moon's side all the time. If she wanted to end her life, it was only a matter of time.
Moreover, he knew that in such moments, being overly attentive would only make Cold Moon feel weaker and could lead to something inexplicable happening.
Before leaving, Ye Tian reminded her of several things she needed to continue doing, saying these were meant to help her feel that she still had responsibilities in the world and shouldn't let others' expectations down.
After Ye Tian left, Cold Moon gave a sorrowful smile. To be honest, she hadn't absorbed anything he said; the only thing that registered was his parting words—I'm leaving now.
She longed for Ye Tian to hold her close and comfort her gently, but she understood that this was merely an extravagant wish that shouldn't exist at all.
With a leap, she chose death...
"Sigh... what a headache; girls are just troublesome," Qin Fufeng muttered as he flashed by in the distance.
