Luke and Feng Lei, still chewing their food, couldn't quite grasp what was happening.

Ye Cang hurriedly explained again, "Elder Sister, the three of us came here simply to find some food, with no malicious intent. If you don't welcome us, we'll leave right away."

"We also hope that after we leave, you won't blame Little Goldfish."

"Hmm...the three of you and Little Goldfish seem to have a very special relationship..."

"No, no, no, Elder Sister, don't misunderstand...we only met Little Goldfish just now, after fighting Banruo Suigu."

"Oh? You fought with the Banruo clan?"

Seeing that the clan leader was no longer being aggressive, Little Goldfish quickly explained to Clan Leader Hua Mi, "Clan Leader...yes. It was these three who defeated Banruo Suigu. I saw it with my own eyes."

The clan leader pondered for a moment and continued to ask, "What is your relationship with Luo Xinghe?"

Ye Cang replied, "Elder Sister, Luo Xinghe has already been killed by the three of us working together."

Clan Leader Hua Mi was skeptical, "Dead? The three of you can defeat Luo Xinghe?"

Luke had now completely swallowed the food in his stomach, and then he explained to Clan Leader Hua Mi, "Well...Elder Sister, you don't know...this friend of mine, Ye Cang, dares to mess with even the God of Death from the underworld...a fake Star King like Luo Xinghe is nothing."

As soon as these words came out, his two old buddies were immediately stunned.

Ye Cang and Feng Lei stared at him in disbelief, thinking to themselves, "Holy crap...this guy's brain finally figured things out."

However...Clan Leader Hua Mi heard that Ye Cang dared to challenge the God of Death.

So, she began to re-examine the three of them.

The three of them felt a little embarrassed being stared at so intently by Clan Leader Hua Mi.

After a long while...Clan Leader Hua Mi asked with some suspicion, "Who won...you or the God of Death?"

Ye Cang replied, "Elder Sister...I tried my best, fought with all my might, but still couldn't shake the God of Death in the slightest. Not only that, but I almost lost my life. If it weren't for my friend Feng Lei obtaining the Xingyue Wuhen… I would have already died in the underworld."

"Oh...I see...I have one more question...why did you have a conflict with the God of Death?"

Ye Cang said calmly, "For my friend, so that she could return to our world."

Clan Leader Hua Mi continued to ask, "Is she very important to you?"

"Elder Sister...whether it's Xi'er, or Luke, Feng Lei...they are all very important to me."

That's right...along the way, Ye Cang and the others had experienced many hardships.

And Ye Cang himself had been on the verge of death several times. If it hadn't been for Ying Ning, Luke, Feng Lei, and the others risking their lives and sharing his hardships, Ye Cang would have long turned to dust.

Therefore, in Ye Cang's heart, these friends, these comrades who fought side by side and shared hardships, were his only motivation to move forward.

Whether it was a difficult, muddy swamp, or heavy, freezing snowstorms.

Behind him were people who cared about him, and people he cared about. There were people who missed him, and people he missed day and night. Behind him were his partners, his best friends, and his hometown.

All of this did not allow a stubborn young man to back down even half a step...he would not allow it...and he absolutely could not do it!

He might lose, but he would never admit defeat.

The stubbornness and tenacity engraved in his bones prompted him to grow stronger time and time again in failure.

He would cry, he would shed tears, he had armor, and he had weaknesses.

In the sun...he always looked like an innocent child.

But in the wind and rain...he was a warrior who never compromised and never retreated.

Life is short, only a few decades of days and nights.

We cannot decide our own birth, nor can we decide whether our origins are noble or humble.

If we cannot control the beginning and end of life.

Then...Ye Cang chose the short journey of life between life and death.

Perhaps...he would travel lightly, or perhaps with a heavy burden, but to Ye Cang, he never cared about these things.

Even if he crossed the boundaries of life and death, he would do his best and risk his life to protect everything he wanted to protect.

The group chatted in Little Goldfish's room for a long, long time.

Fortunately, they resolved the previous misunderstandings.

Clan Leader Hua Mi said very apologetically, "The three of you...I'm so sorry. At first, I thought you were sent by Luo Xinghe."

"I never thought that you would defeat Luo Xinghe and kill Banruo Suigu."

"This Banruo Suigu has killed so many innocent lives of our Hua Mi clan, just to satisfy their appetite."

"Now that you have killed him, it can be considered revenge for our Hua Mi clan. We must treat you well."

With that, Clan Leader Hua Mi walked out of the house and announced to everyone, "All Hua Mi elves, listen up! Tonight, we will hold a banquet to entertain our distinguished guests."

"I now announce! Banruo Suigu has been killed by these three friends! They have avenged our clan!"
