Chapter 1397 (A Thousand Years Later)
Ye Yan had adjusted his mindset and said to Donghuang Li, "Sister, Dad has mentioned before that he wants to pass the position to you. Now, you must stay in the imperial palace and accompany Mom. Leave the task of finding Dad to the three of us. You can rest assured! We will definitely bring Dad back!"
"Sister, you should stay in the palace." Ye Shen said in a deep voice, then looked at their mother. They had no intention to manage the affairs of the palace anymore.
Donghuang Li glanced at her mother. Although she really wanted to go, the palace needed someone in charge.
"Chu Yu, help my sister well."
"Xian'er, you too."
Chu Yu and Liu Xian were also sensible, expressing that they would take care of things at home.
Having a sensible wife was indeed fortunate.
"Mom, we will definitely bring Dad back." Ye Yan said firmly to his mother.
Qing Ya slowly looked up at her son, "Yan'er, your father will be fine."
"Yes, Dad is so powerful, he will definitely be back tomorrow!" The Ye Yan group firmly believed that Dad was just somewhere else at the moment.
As the three children left, only a few women remained.
Qian Yuqing was on the verge of collapse now. Back then, Ye Hua had left just like this.
Unexpectedly, it happened again now. Which woman could withstand being struck twice in a row?
The wedding could no longer continue. Donghuang Li comforted her mother, and the other complicated matters had to be handled by Chu Yu and Liu Xian.
Cancelling their own wedding felt a bit strange, but the two sisters had no experience in managing such matters. All the people who had come to attend the wedding found it strange. How could the bride cancel her own wedding?
It seemed that something major had happened in the Voidless Empire, or else it wouldn't be like this.
Though they thought so, no one dared to act recklessly. They could only go home with doubts.
Long Aotian and Jiu Ye had already brought their families to the Voidless Empire. As for the death of Qi Xuewen, it was the result of his own actions. If he had been less jealous, such a thing might not have happened.
Look at Xin Ba, how honest he was, staying in his own territory and not coming out. That was the highest realm of sneaky development.
With Ye Hua's disappearance, the entire imperial palace became lifeless. However, the outside world had no idea what had happened. The people inside the Voidless Empire continued their normal lives.
The world wouldn't stop because of one person's death.
In the blink of an eye, New Year's Eve arrived.
In previous years, Ye Hua had presided over the celebration, but this time, all the members of the team were present, except for their esteemed leader.
In the banquet hall, was it lively?
No.
The air was filled with a sense of sadness. After investigating for this period, all the subordinates had no information. They could only speculate that it was related to the Guardian. Considering the previous visit of the Guardian to Your Majesty, he must have taken action. As for why there was no news, it remained a mystery, becoming a puzzle.
However, in the hearts of all the subordinates, Your Majesty was like a godly existence, and he wouldn't die! Perhaps he was healing somewhere, unable to show up for the time being. Once he recovered, he would surely appear.
During these months, Donghuang Li had been in charge of the overall situation. Qing Ya and the others felt mentally exhausted every day. If it weren't for their firm determination, they would have gone crazy.
At this moment, they could also understand Qian Yuqing's feelings back then. The feeling of losing a loved one was very unpleasant.
They also felt extremely guilty. In those years of cold war with Ye Hua, ignoring him, now that they wanted to approach him, he was gone.
It validated the saying that you only realise the value of something when it's gone.
Donghuang Li stood up at this moment, raising a wine glass.
All the subordinates also raised their glasses.
"Everyone, you've worked hard during this period. Let's toast!" Donghuang Li has matured a lot now. Without Ye Hua's presence, she seemed to have grown up, appearing stable. The childish feeling had disappeared, perhaps this was a kind of transformation.
Donghuang Li didn't let Ye Hua down either. She managed the Voidless Empire well, with the help of Chu Yu and Liu Xian.
"To serve the leader, not hard at all!" The subordinates had discussed with Donghuang Li. After celebrating the New Year, they would go to different planes to search. Each person would go to a different plane.
It was like finding a needle in a haystack, considering there were countless planes. However, the subordinates did not give up.
Donghuang Li sighed slightly, raised her hand, and the screen behind her showed images.
Yi Hong and Zi Shan were slightly stunned. This was the scene of their own wedding, and it was presided over by Your Majesty.
Everyone witnessed the figure of Your Majesty in the picture. At the moment, they could only see Your Majesty's figure in the picture. Thinking about the past, they felt uncomfortable and wanted to vent. The eyes of the women were already misty.
Qing Ya and the others couldn't help but sob. Last year's New Year, they were still with Ye Hua, although it was not very pleasant. Just thinking about it made them hate themselves for treating Ye Hua that way.
Now, he is gone.
Ye Hua, are you retaliating against them?!
Listening to Ye Hua's cold but passionate voice, it seemed as if he was standing on the seat again, raising his wine glass, looking at everyone with gentle eyes, and then praising someone by name. How glorious it was.
As the scene shifted, it was basically scenes where all the subordinates were together. The leader also sang, although he was not musically talented, the subordinates cheered.
Seeing this scene, the subordinates all showed smiles, but these smiles were accompanied by tears. He also had a funny side.
Perhaps only at this time each year would Your Majesty let go of his dignity and play around with all the subordinates. After all, as the leader, he couldn't appear frivolous all the time.
Ye Yan watched his father's figure, tears unconsciously streaming down. They say real men don't cry, but at this moment, Ye Yan couldn't hold back, and even Ye Shen was the same.
However, precisely because of this, it became even more imperative to find him, reunite this big family, and not let a single person be missing!
Without Ye Hua, this was an incomplete family.
On the first day of the lunar new year, the entire team dispersed to search. The festive atmosphere of the New Year was already gone.
This kind of search went on year after year.
However, everyone still did not give up.
A hundred years passed, and there was still not a bit of news about the leader, not even someone who looked similar.
As Ye Hua disappeared for a thousand years!
The Voidless Empire had already covered the entire north, and its immense scale was hard to believe. However, all of this was thanks to Donghuang Li.
In Donghuang Li's heart, her father had come back. If he could see this, he would surely be proud of her and praise her.
"Sister, why are you so happy?" Ye Yan asked with a light smile. At this point, Ye Yan was also over a thousand years old, considered a mature man, or rather, a man with character.
