Silence reigned, in the few seconds everyone was waiting for Liang Ye's response, the council chamber was deathly silent.

Suddenly, Liang Yong'an grabbed Liang Ye by the blood-stained collar, "Speak! What on earth happened! Speak!"

Liang Ye was feeling quite smug, but being grabbed by Liang Yong'an like that, he had no choice but to look up and meet those eyes locking onto him.

Liang Ye was dumbfounded. What kind of gaze was that? It was indescribably complex, and to his shock, his grandfather could actually shout so loudly, and his facial expression could be so ferocious.

You have to know, his grandfather's temper was the best in the entire Liang Family, always carrying a kindly and gentle smile. He had never seen his grandfather this angry, ever... especially this furious.

Not just Liang Ye, none of those present had ever seen this before.

"Grandpa... I..."

Liang Ye's eyes reddened, finally realizing he might have taken this game too far, and he hesitated slightly whether to reveal the truth directly.

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Liang Ye ultimately decided to proceed with the original plan, partly because he intended to accept punishment with Liang Xiao and partly due to feeling wronged and sulky.

"Chu Ge... ran away, Big Brother... is dead."

With Liang Ye's words, the already oppressive atmosphere in the room became even more heavy.

Liang Yong'an slowly released his grip on Liang Ye's collar, "What did you say... say it again?"

"Chu Ge ran away, Big Brother is dead!"

"Liang Ye, don't joke with us, tell Grandpa the truth, as long as you tell Grandpa your brother is okay, I... I'll make sure you won't be punished."

Liang Ye felt speechless. He said it deliberately to accept punishment, and since his grandfather said this, he definitely couldn't tell the truth now.

"Big Brother was ambushed by Chu Ge. Fighting to the death to shield us, when we left, Big Brother he..."

At this point, Liang Ye lowered his head, raised a hand to cover his forehead, making it so that no one could see his expression, as though he couldn't continue speaking.

"How could it be like this? How could it..."

Liang Yong'an also lowered his head, murmuring to himself, then slowly turned around to look at his elder brother, Liang Xiao's grandfather, the current Clan Leader of the Liang Family, Liang Yongping.

Liang Yongping appeared calm, his gaze measured as he looked at Chen Zhihao, "Little Chen, is what Liang Ye said true?"

Feeling the oppressively tense atmosphere in the room, Chen Zhihao realized he could no longer go along with Liang Ye's antics. He had thought this brat would soon slip up, never expecting Liang Ye could act so convincingly.

"Actually..."

Just as Chen Zhihao began to speak, he suddenly heard running footsteps behind him, and then he saw Liang Yongping's calm eyes finally showing signs of turmoil, as he slowly stood up from his seat.

The footsteps were so urgent, so loud, naturally reaching everyone's ears, prompting everyone to stand up and look towards the door.

Liang Ye inwardly rolled his eyes, "What's that guy doing, it's the thrilling moment, how come he came back so soon? And, actually running back?"

"Liang... Xiao?"

Following that, Liang Ye heard the Clan Leader Liang Yongping's trembling voice, making him even more speechless inside. Ah, although he hadn't had enough fun, with Liang Xiao back, there's no helping it.

"You're back...?"

Liang Ye turned with a cheeky smile, but the moment he saw the scene at the door, the smile froze on his face, his eyes widening, and his lips trembling.

Liang Xiao did return, but... he was carried back, and the person carrying him was actually... actually Chu Ge, who should have completely lost combat power, who should have been dragged back like a dead dog?

Liang Ye stared blankly at this scene, his mouth curling twice, then he lowered his head and laughed, rubbing his forehead, "Sigh... so I am dreaming, haha, this dream is quite lifelike, that guy really seemed as if he died."

"Thud" Liang Yongping fell back into the chair.

The sudden sound startled Liang Ye's body into a shiver, making him raise his head again, staring unblinkingly at the door. If this was a dream, it was too real, wasn't it?

So real it frightened him.

Everyone else remained motionless, just dumbly watching as Chu Ge drew nearer, with Liang Xiao slumped over his shoulder, lying head down. Even though this scene appeared vividly before them, none of them could accept this reality.

Liang Ye pinched his face hard, then let out a silly smile, "No pain, it's a dream, definitely just a dream."

Liang Ye squeezed with such force that his fingernails even pierced the skin on his face. A trickle of his own fresh blood flowed down his cheek along with the nearly dried rabbit blood, yet his face was smiling, an incredibly bright smile.

"Doesn't hurt, doesn't hurt, doesn't hurt, doesn't hurt..."

Liang Ye closed his eyes, speaking rapidly, repeatedly saying "doesn't hurt," but on that smiling face, tears were pouring down like rain.

When Chu Ge stepped over the threshold of the meeting hall, Liang Ye suddenly opened his eyes. Seeing the scene in front of him from this distance once again, his heart started to twitch violently.

A massive pain spread swiftly from his chest to every corner of his body. For the first time, he understood what it meant to be heart-wrenching; it felt as though his chest could explode from the pain at any moment.

"How could it not hurt! Ah... ahhh!"

Liang Ye collapsed to the ground with a thud, screaming frantically. His voice was hoarse to the point of horror. Although Chu Ge shouted a sentence upon entering, it was completely drowned out by Liang Ye's screams.

Just as Chu Ge wanted to say something else, Liang Ye's fists smashed heavily onto the ground. He jerked his head up, his eyes filled with bloodshot veins, completely red.

"You! Fuck! Your! Mother!"

Roaring a curse, Liang Ye suddenly kicked off the ground with both feet, like a four-legged beast, pouncing towards Chu Ge.

Chu Ge frowned, suddenly raising his foot and kicking Liang Ye's face, "Idiot!"

"Boom!"

Liang Ye came flying fast, but flew back even faster. With a "boom," he was knocked backward onto the ground, his body rolling several times on the tiles, with crimson nosebleed seeping from his nostrils.

"Liang Ye!" Witnessing this, the Liang Family members in the meeting hall finally regained their senses. Second Elder Liang Yong'an shouted, rushing toward Liang Ye.

Liang Ye's body stopped upon hitting the wall, as if he couldn't feel any pain at all. Without waiting for Liang Yong'an to approach, he immediately charged at Chu Ge again, his eyes wide with anger and full of ferocity.

"Ahhhh! I'm going to kill you! Kill you!"

But this time, not only Liang Ye, but also Third Elder Liang Yongzhong, the younger generation's sixth and seventh uncles, along with a few other elders, rushed in as well.

Chu Ge's frown deepened, his knees slightly bent. Suddenly, he leaped, barely dodging several attacks beside him, simultaneously kicking Liang Ye into the air again.

Landing on his feet, Chu Ge grabbed an empty chair with one hand, swinging it back as he finally got a chance to speak while the chair was kicked to pieces by Third Elder Liang Yongzhong.

"The young ones are idiots, are you old ones idiots too! If you want Liang Xiao to die, then keep coming, come on!"

Unfortunately, with someone on his back, facing so many opponents, plus his efforts to stop the fight, Chu Ge still took a heavy punch to his chest just as he shouted these words.

This spot was precisely where he'd been wounded by Liang Xiao; being hit again on the same wound, the pain wasn't simply one plus one equals two. Chu Ge gasped in pain but stood firm without retreating an inch.

Upon hearing Chu Ge's words, Liang Yongping, who had been sitting silently in the chief seat with an ashen face, finally showed a reaction, slightly moving his finger as a glimmer of life appeared in his old eyes.

"Everyone, stop!" Liang Yongping stood up with a rush, and at his command, everyone ceased their attacks on Chu Ge, turning their gaze to Liang Xiao.

"Are you saying... Liang Xiao is still alive?"

Chu Ge clutched his wound, turning his gaze to the visibly agitated Liang Yongping, and nodded to him, "If we delay any longer, it could be dire. Alright, let's save him quickly."

In the time it took to say these words, Liang Yongping had already reached Chu Ge's side, taking Liang Xiao from Chu Ge's back, leaning him against a chair, and checking Liang Xiao's breath with two fingers on his right hand. Indeed, there was still a breath!

Although the current situation seemed like a tangled mess, clearly now was not the time to investigate. Even if Liang Yongping could not completely calm his mindset, at least he could confirm one thing.

That is, since Chu Ge brought Liang Xiao here, he wouldn't be harmful to Liang Xiao under these circumstances. The top priority was to treat Liang Xiao immediately.

"Old Seven." Liang Yongping turned to look at an elder, who quickly approached Liang Xiao's side and immediately checked his pulse without requiring further instructions from Liang Yongping.

With mixed emotions, Chu Ge sighed and started to walk to the side. He had barely taken two steps before being blocked by seven or eight members of the Liang Family, all of whom looked at him with murderous intent, clearly wishing to tear Chu Ge to pieces.

"No need to look at me like that, rest assured, I'm not going anywhere."

Chu Ge said lightly, ignoring the hostile and vigilant gazes around him, and walked straight over to a chair, sitting down heavily.

At this moment, the elder checking Liang Xiao's pulse frowned, his expression becoming extremely complex, "Hmm? How is this... possible?"

Hearing this, Liang Yongping, who was already extremely tense, became even more nervous.
