Chapter 1071 (A Separation)
"Yeah, he\'s been searching for two hours already."
"I wonder what precious item the Emperor lost to make him so anxious."
The citizens began to discuss among themselves.
At this point, Ye Juetian had already been searching for three hours, but there was still no sign of Yi Yi. It was as if she had disappeared into thin air.
Yi Yi is so beautiful now. What if someone had kidnapped her and inflicted harm upon her? The thought of such a terrifying consequence left Ye Juetian feeling regretful and anxious, wishing he could call out Yi Yi\'s name loudly.
Gradually, the lights in the Voidless Empire dimmed, and people entered into their dreams. Ye Juetian walked the cold streets with a bewildered expression. \'Yi Yi must have encountered an accident. Damn it!\'
In this cold weather, Yi Yi was not wearing much, and she was so beautiful...
Ye Juetian kicked the ground hard and cracked it open. He blamed himself for his carelessness.With a despondent expression, Ye Juetian walked towards the entrance of the imperial palace. If Yi Yi had really met with an accident, he would never forgive himself.
Suddenly, a faint crying sound reached Ye Juetian\'s ears. He was shocked. This voice!
Ye Juetian quickly ran towards the source of the sound. At the palace entrance, he saw a petite figure sitting on the ground.
Looking at this figure, Ye Juetian felt it was Yi Yi. He rushed towards her!
Yi Yi\'s white dress was already quite dirty, and there were bloody marks on her arms. There were also traces of blood on the ground.
Standing next to Yi Yi, Ye Juetian felt a bit sour in his heart.
Yi Yi, who was sitting on the ground, seemed to sense someone beside her. She slowly raised her head, and when she saw Ye Juetian, tears welled up in her eyes even more.
"Ye Ye..." Yi Yi directly threw herself into Ye Juetian\'s arms, hugged him tightly, and burst into tears.
Ye Juetian now felt very distressed. He gently hugged the girl in his arms and comforted her softly, "Yi Yi, don\'t cry, I\'m here."
"Ye Ye, where did you go? I couldn\'t find you." Yi Yi choked with tears, wetting Ye Juetian\'s chest.
"Yi Yi, I\'m sorry. It\'s my negligence. How did you get injured?" Ye Juetian asked with a deep voice. Someone dared to hurt Yi Yi. Their hearts must be so vicious to bully an ordinary girl.
Yi Yi, looking pitiful, said, "I wanted to go in and find you, but these people wouldn\'t let me."
Ye Juetian looked at the black-armoured warriors at the palace gate, realising that Yi Yi wanted to enter the palace!
Indeed, Yi Yi had waited for an entire afternoon without seeing Ye Juetian. So, she went out to find him, learned that the Emperor lived in this luxurious palace, and arrived at the palace gate, hoping to go inside.
However, the black-armoured warriors repeatedly pushed her to the ground, causing the scars on her arms through the friction.
Ye Juetian really wanted to beat these black-armoured warriors, as they dared to bully an unarmed girl! How shameless!
"Yi Yi, don\'t be afraid; let\'s go back."
"Mm."
The two returned to the inn, and Ye Juetian naturally had to heal Yi Yi\'s injuries.
Seeing the scars on her arms instantly disappearing, Yi Yi revealed a sweet smile. "Ye Ye, you\'re amazing."
Watching Yi Yi smile like this, Ye Juetian forced a smile. Just thinking about Yi Yi being pushed down by the black-armoured warriors made him feel uncomfortable.
"Ye Ye, I\'m sorry. Did I embarrass you?" Yi Yi seemed to sense something and said with a hint of sadness.
Ye Juetian reached out to stroke Yi Yi\'s hair. "No, how could you embarrass me?"
"They all say I\'m stupid, and I also feel that I\'m stupid," Yi Yi said, lowering her head.
"Who dares to say you\'re stupid? I\'ll beat them up!" Ye Juetian patted his chest and assured her.
Yi Yi bit her lip lightly, saying nothing.
At that moment, Ye Juetian heard Ye Hua\'s voice in his mind.
"Where did you go again?" Ye Hua questioned coldly.
Ye Juetian covered his forehead. He had just found Yi Yi, and they hadn\'t exchanged many words yet.
"Big brother, I\'m in the palace."
"Don\'t lie! If you\'re in the palace; hurry back! Mother is looking for you!"
"Okay, I\'ll be right back."
After cutting off the communication, Ye Juetian looked at Yi Yi in front of him, unsure of what to say or how to start.
"Are you leaving again?" Yi Yi asked softly.
Ye Juetian sighed, gently holding her slender hands, which felt very soft.
"Yi Yi, I have to go back." Ye Juetian expressed regret.
Yi Yi gathered the courage to say, "Ye Ye, can you take me with you? I don\'t want to be away from you."
"Yi Yi, listen to me. It\'s not possible right now, but please give me some time, okay?" Ye Juetian felt like he was going crazy, wondering how he could say such words.
"Ye Ye, I believe everything you say, and I\'ll follow your lead. Please don\'t abandon me. I\'ve decided to be with you, to be with you forever." Yi Yi spoke with utmost sincerity, touching Ye Juetian, who had never been in love before.
In fact, seeing Yi Yi searching for him at the palace gate had already softened his heart. First love often arrives unexpectedly; he was initially drawn by Yi Yi\'s beauty and then moved by her sincerity. Now he was shaken again. Ye Juetian, being inexperienced in matters of love, was easily moved.
Ye Juetian wiped away the tears at the corner of Yi Yi\'s eyes. "Yes, that won\'t happen."
"I\'ll wait for you to come back," Yi Yi said softly, with a reassuring smile.
Taking a deep breath, Ye Juetian stood up and suddenly pulled out a small bamboo tube. "Yi Yi, hold onto this."
"Ye Ye, what is this?"
"It\'s a voice transmission device. I\'ll contact you when I have free time, but please don\'t contact me proactively, okay?" Ye Juetian carefully instructed, knowing that if his elder brother and mother found out, it could lead to trouble.
Yi Yi tightly held the small bamboo tube and nodded. "Okay, I understand."
Ye Juetian gently embraced Yi Yi, then disappeared from the room.
Feeling the warmth disappear, Yi Yi slowly opened her eyes, looked at the small bamboo tube in her hand, and walked to the window. From this angle, she could see the majestic palace, but in Yi Yi\'s eyes, it was like a barrier.
Ye Juetian quickly returned to his mother\'s sleeping chamber.
Inside the splendidly lit sleeping chamber, Ye Hua and the others were present.
Ye Juetian swallowed and respectfully greeted, "Mother, elder brother, and three sister-in-laws."
"Where did you go?" Le Jing asked calmly.
Ye Hua looked sternly at his younger brother. Their mother had instructed him to stay in the palace, but this young fellow disappeared without a trace.
In Ye Hua\'s mind, respecting the order of seniority, listening to the elders, was the most normal thing, especially when it came to their biological mother.
