Ye Chun's cold gaze asked Ye Ya with a domineering temperament that did not match his appearance.

"I didn't mean that. It's just that sister, you're wrong. ”

"Am I wrong? Hum...... You've learned to be tongue-in-cheek, too. ”

The tension between the two men rose as the back-and-forth conversations grew.

It is not hostility or malice.

It's more complex, purer emotions.

It is a kind of helplessness and consciousness for the inevitable incompatibility between sisters.

Xia Jing was worried that the two would fight over this, so he couldn't help but put on a posture.

That's when ......

A young girl appeared from the depths of the forest behind Xia Jing and the others who didn't even have a mountain path.

The girl was panting and pale. The uniforms of the private high schools were stained with mud and blood, and no part of the body was white and clean.

Her left arm was slashed, her right arm was severely burned, and the two ponytails on her head were scattered everywhere.

"Nangong ......?"

Nangong, who was repaired and bruised all over his body, looked miserable

「…… Lord Ye Chun."

With a staggering footstep, he angrily called out to his master's—a friend's.

The other side.

One of the twins was robbed of his arm, and the other was robbed of his leg.

The severed limbs are kept in the enchantment, and the chance of regaining them is close to zero.

Sasha and Xiangxiang, who had all their weapons taken away, including the sword, sat on the ground leaning against each other under the watchful eye of Lin Yu and Lan Yang.

Both of their injuries were wrapped with ropes to stop the bleeding.

The person who treated their injuries first was Lan Yang.

Lin Yu was guarding the severed limbs of the two in the enchantment, muttering in confusion.

「…… What's next?"

It would be best if they could find out the route to the Lost House from the twins, but they would definitely not be truthful, and even torture would probably be in vain.

Just kill them and save them trouble. No, Ye Ya has forbidden to kill people and kill people.

Just as Lin Yu was thinking about what to do, the twins' Xiangxiang suddenly raised her head and spoke.

"Hey, can I have a discussion?"

"What discussion?"

The two of them obviously lost the battle but were not very frustrated, and taught Lin Yu to be a little dissatisfied.

"Don't worry, I won't take your lives. But ......."

Lin Yu was interrupted before he could finish speaking.

"Ah, that's true, Sasha."

"yes, Xiangxiang. Sister Nangong said it was right."

The twins' faces did not show the grim expressions they had seen in their previous encounters, but instead looked nonchalant, smiling heartily. Lin Yu was stunned. These two guys are completely unpredictable.

「…… And then, what did she say?"

But──

"Sister Nangong, did she tell Sasha."

"Yes, Sister Nangong said that if you can win, that's the best......

The next words not only made Lin Yu deeply stunned—even dumbfounded.

「…… But if you lose, consider Ya the patriarch and obey her leadership."

"Huh...... Huh?"

Don't you want to kill yourself or flee quickly?

"So Sasha Xiangxiang won't fight you again. Isn't that right, Sasha?"

"yes, Xiangxiang. We have to use the identity of the Nangong family and try our best to play the role of Ye Ya's sister's subordinates."

"I'm looking forward to it, Sasha, I don't know what will happen next? I'm looking forward to it."

"I'm really looking forward to it, Xiangxiang. I'm curious to see what the new patriarch will order."

"Wait...... Wait a minute!"

Lin Yu confronted the twins, who ignored her confusion and chatted happily.

"Are you telling the truth!?"

"yes, it's true. Of course. To us, Sister Nangong's order is absolute."

"We absolutely obey Sister Nangong's orders."

"But. In that case......

Did Nangong really give them such an order?

Incredible.

The woman who regarded dead leaves as a snake and scorpion and hated them from the bottom of her heart would never have said such a thing even if she was crazy.

Headache though, the twins don't look like they're lying, either. If their purpose was to deceive people into releasing them, it stands to reason that they would use taking Lin Yu and them to the 'Lost House' as a bargaining chip to ask Lin Yu to return their hands and feet. But the two of them didn't care about their bodies at all, and even squeaked and chatted. Although Lin Yu's rationality firmly believed that the twins were lying, he couldn't ignore their words because of this.

Lin Yu didn't bother to think about it anymore.

「…… What should I do, Sister Lanyang?"

She gave up her worries and left the problem to Lan Yang to solve.

"Hmm~"

I saw Lan Yang frowning slightly.

"That's right......"

I feel that this is the best proposal.

Lan Yang took out his mobile phone to dial. Hold them in custody first, so that even if you are fooled, you don't have to fear that they will join the other enemies.

Lin Yu looked at the twins who were explaining the route and sighed.

Ever since the twins were forced to make a choice on the way, Xia Jing has always had doubts.

To be precise, I can't figure it out.

Why did Ye Chun adopt this strategy?

She divided the twins and Nangong in two places, and let Xia Jing and his party choose to join forces in those two places, or stay with their companions. If you choose to stay with your companions, let the rest of the people go forward. If Xuan Duo joins forces to attack, they will concentrate their firepower on Ya alone.

At first glance, this arrangement makes perfect sense. Because compared to a group scuffle, this can really increase the possibility of annihilating us, and most importantly, Ye Chun himself was able to meet Ye Ya face to face - in fact, this goal was really achieved. I'm afraid that Ye Chun insisted on killing his sister with his own hands, and put this purpose in the first place, so he planned this battle plan.

It's just that in this way, it also greatly increases the possibility of revealing flaws.

It should be said that the technique is too crude. This arrangement does not envisage the situation or risk of losing the battle for both the twins and the donors. If both sides end in defeat, they will lose their original advantage in one fell swoop.

When Nangong appeared alone, Xia Jing couldn't figure it out even more.

Xia Jing originally thought that if An Ye was not allowed to stay and choose the three of them to join forces, Li Qi would show up to support Nangong. I'm afraid that she will secretly attack halfway. Anno should also be alert to this possibility, so he insisted on staying alone.

At the moment when he was arguing with Anye, Xia Jing accidentally thought of something.

If you really want to sneak attack, then why not send Li Qi out from the beginning - when Xia Jing and the others went up the mountain, assign Li Qi to sneak attack one after another. When Xia Jing and his party were killed in a timely manner, they sent twins and Nangong to kill a piece of armor in one go. In this way, you can minimize your own sacrifices and annihilate your enemies at the same time. This is the most efficient strategy Xia Jing can think of.

Xia Jing thought that it was probably because the other party failed to think of such a despicable plan.

No matter how deer the clan falls, it's still the deer clan, so do you plan to have a dignified duel at the end of the end? Or does Ye Chun want to make a direct confrontation with Ye Ya a priority regardless of the cost?

In conclusion, the latter is correct.

As for the former's speculation, it can only be said that it is very wrong.

"What......

What happened in front of him made Xia Jing dumbfounded and couldn't believe it.

Ye Ya is the same. Her eyes widened and she froze.

A few minutes ago. Nangong, who appeared scarred from the forest, just glanced at Xia Jing and Ye Ya, then walked past the two of them all the way through the gate, and collapsed in front of Ye Chun's knees.

"Did you lose?" Ye Chun asked.

"Yes." Nangong replied in a whisper.

"Yes." Ye Chun smiled, and then

"I've been working hard for you, Nangong."

I saw her take out the sword from her waist - and kill Nangong neatly.

failed to leave a word's last words, and was not even allowed to have the last scream before he died, and Nangong died like this.

"Why...... Sister, sama?"

Ye Ya looked stunned and said in a trembling voice, "Why...... Nangong is obviously your ......."

Nangong.

She is a thorn in Xia Jing's side, but her enemy should be no exception to Ye Ya.

She used Lan Yang to deceive Tian Zhi, and was active behind the scenes during the rebellion - but on the other hand, these actions were enough to prove that she was loyal to Ye Chun, and her selfless dedication was not enough to describe it with her liver and brain.

I heard that the two of them also have a good personal relationship.

admires Ye Chun, respects her as a patriarch, and is also Ye Chun's friend Nangong.

However, Ye Chun was so ruthless.

"Do you need to ask this question?"

Ye Chun smiled coldly, and replied to Ye Ya, who was trembling all over, with a light face: "All the Deer Clan will be killed. That's what I'm here for."

- Ah, I see.

Xia Jing finally brightened up.

The reason why Ye Chun adopted such a roundabout and high-risk strategy.

It wasn't that she didn't take into account the sacrifices of her companions. Rather, he didn't see them as companions in the first place.

Whether it's Nangong, the twins, or Li Qi.

It's best if they can win. Wan - loses, as long as Xia Jing and they are ruthless to kill the enemy, it will not constitute any image. On the contrary, if they can still drag their scarred bodies and flee after the defeat, it will be more in line with Ye Chun's wishes, because she can take advantage of the other party's inability to resist to be executed on the spot - the end is the same as Nangong just now.

"You're also ...... to the twins. Did you give the same order?"

"Of course. I've already explained. If you lose, you must flee back here before you fall into the hands of the enemy."

Are you kidding.

Even Xia Jing couldn't think of such a vicious method, I'm afraid even Qiu Yin would feel abnormal.

They don't treat their peers as companions, and they treat their feelings as if they were nothing.

The purpose of all this is to use them as human lives to feed the sword

「…… All."

By the time Xia Jing came back to his senses, his throat was already twitching on its own.

"Is it all for me? For me...... You've done these things......

Ye Chun didn't intend to understand Xia Jing's thoughts at all, and nodded yes with a self-absorbed look.

"yes, that's right. I'm doing all this for you. If you wait patiently, I will ...... right away."

「…… Don't make a fuss!"

Xia Jing interrupted Ye Jian's words and roared angrily.

I can't take it anymore.

"You...... Why did you do this?"

"Summer ......?"

Ye Chun seemed to be wondering and wishing Xia Jing.

She didn't feel any guilt from her expression, and she didn't understand why Xia Jing was roaring at her.

It was like a child—innocent and innocent.

"Nangong ...... Isn't she your friend? It's not just Nangong. Including Ah Dai, Sister Yao, Lin Yu, other clansmen I don't know, and my sister Ye Ya. Everyone treats you as the second patriarch, and not only cares about you, but also respects you! But why? Why did you betray everyone and kill them all? Why do you kill innocents indiscriminately, and you can still put on that indifferent expression? I...... I really don't understand!"

"That's for ......."

"Shut up! That's not what happened! Why...... You're going to be like this......

Xia Jing choked up.

It is correct to say that he is feeling pain and sadness, not sadness.

Why did she twist into this?

That day – that winter day.

That's not the case with girls who come to the house to play. Back then, the girl who laughed at the hot milk prepared by her sister was delicious and delicious, and showed off her skills in building snow rabbits with one hand and took away Xia Jing's innocent first love, she would never be this kind of guy who could put on such a casual face after killing relatives and friends.

"You say...... All for me? …… You're a little bit of a."

Even though he was infected with a strange disease, his first love ended without a problem

Even though she is in a closed village, her love is so strong that it is crazy.

Even if she wants to kill all the people to realize her relationship.

Even if everything she does, it's all for the summer scene

"These...... It doesn't justify committing a crime as if nothing happened, does it?"

If she was willing to shed a few tears, I don't know how easy it would be.

If she was tormented by guilt, she might be relieved.

Committing a sin for love is not the same thing as not taking sin for a crime.

It's completely different – distorted.

"You're wrong, completely wrong."

Xia Jing couldn't speak anymore.

He bit his lip resentfully and fell silent. With his head down, his hands clenched into fists, as if he was about to suffocate.

After a few tens of seconds of silence

"Sister-sama."

Ye Ya was the first to break the silence.

"Summer Scene...... He was right. Sister, you're wrong."

Sadness, sadness, emptiness.

She wore that look.

"Everyone respects and appreciates you. Whether it's me, my parents, or anyone else...... If it was for you before, you would definitely throw your head and spill your blood."

-If you want to cough up blood.

"But! That's because people think you're going to cry for us! I believe you will sincerely mourn our sacrifice! And you're ...... Even if someone dies for you, you are still hard-hearted and indifferent. And you can laugh like you...... Not worthy of being a patriarch at all! You're just a tyrant now!"

Ye Ya's eyes welled up with tears.

Is it regret, disappointment, or distress?

Ye Ya finally muttered quietly, "You...... He is not worthy of being a patriarch."

At this time

"Hee-hee."

Just after Ye Yachong said those words

"Hee-hee, hee-hee, ha-ha-haha, ahaha

It's very abrupt, like the smile in my heart suddenly bursts

Ye Chun burst out laughing.

Summer and Ye Ya couldn't help but be dumbfounded.

Change the previous calm and relaxed attitude.

The majesty and domineering are gone, and there is only that

"Really? I see! Is that what you mean by yourself, Yah!"

Something gloomy and chaotic, extremely dark.

Ye Chun shouted loudly.

Her actions were contagious with passion.

"Ahh You should be right, I really don't deserve to be the patriarch. I have a strange disease that stops growing, and I lose my fertility, and I can't even continue the family's incense...... Before you had children, I was only pushed out as a decorated puppet for the sake of sympathy!"
