So Ye Hao plans to rescue him, and as for what Zheng Guang intends, he'll deal with it later.

Ye Hao infiltrated the villa in under thirty seconds; those so-called heavy locks were opened effortlessly under Ye Hao's skill.

"Bang!" As he entered the last secret room, Ye Hao kicked the door open.

Inside, Zheng Guang thought it was Gao Zhong returning, and hurriedly sat up. But when he realized it was a young stranger, he looked at Ye Hao puzzled, and asked, "Who are you? Sent by Gao Zhong?"

Ye Hao shook his head, about to speak, but at that moment, Qianqian's alarm sounded: "Master, there's an unidentified substance entering your body. This thing can weaken your bones, it's a chronic poison. Should I stop it?"

"Stop it," Ye Hao ordered.

With the protection provided by the eighth-generation system, Ye Hao wasn't worried anymore. He was just curious about the powder Gao Zhong had thrown; it could soften bones through the skin.

"Stop what?" Zheng Guang asked Ye Hao in confusion.

Ye Hao waved his hand and said, "Nothing."

After speaking, Ye Hao sat down on a chair nearby, waiting for Lv Dong's call.

Zheng Guang, seeing Ye Hao not speaking, also remained silent. Yet his desolate demeanor made Ye Hao secretly sympathetic toward him. An old man so advanced in age, despite possessing Innate Realm strength, was still just an elder. Originally meant to enjoy a life surrounded by children and grandchildren, he had become solitary, a white-haired person sending off black-haired ones.

One can imagine how difficult this feeling would be for any elderly person to accept, right?

Zheng Guang could hold on until now thanks to his strength, but also because of his only remaining grandson, Zheng Shuang.

If Zheng Shuang were also to die, Ye Hao could be one hundred percent sure that Zheng Guang would no longer want to live.

Seeing his plight, Ye Hao thought of his grandfather, Ye Batian, and what if he experienced a similar fate; Ye Hao couldn't fathom how the old man's heart would feel.

Thinking of this, Ye Hao decided in his heart that the next time he went to Yanjing, he would rejuvenate Grandma Murong Lan and make Grandpa Shangguan Dapao younger, too, so they wouldn't leave this world too early, allowing them to enjoy more of life.

Ye Hao, looking at Zheng Guang's desolate appearance, asked, "Do you have a deep hatred with the Gao Family?"

Zheng Guang, hearing Ye Hao's question, countered, "You're not sent by the Gao Family?"

"No!" Ye Hao nodded his head.

"Then how did you get in here? Why did you come here?" Zheng Guang's eyes narrowed. If someone from the Gao Family, at least he understood the circumstances. But now, with this man who wasn't sent by the Gao Family, what was his purpose?

"Don't be nervous, I'm not here to harm you, I'm here to save you. Of course! Whether I save you depends on if you have any value to me. If you have no value, I wouldn't risk offending the Gao Family to save you." Ye Hao thought such words were morally low-grounded; saving an elder should not be measured by value, but he had no choice.

Because if the Gao Family saw the safe without the Jade Seal, they would surely fly into a rage and want to kill Zheng Guang.

If Ye Hao rashly accepted Zheng Guang, it would mean that the Gao Family would indirectly target him.

Unless Zheng Guang secretly lived, the Gao Family wouldn't possibly sit by and watch Zheng Guang live in peace without response.

After all, the Gao Family had killed so many Zheng Family members. If Zheng Guang entered a higher realm one day, it would be a nightmare for the Gao Family.

Therefore, when facing enemies, it's best to not just remove them, but uproot them; otherwise, trouble can arise again.

"How did you know I am held here? What value do you refer to?" Zheng Guang looked at Ye Hao and asked.

"I'm from Team A, but I'm not rescuing you in that capacity; I'm doing it personally. And because of your grandson's presence in Team A, I decided to save you; you need to understand! The risk I'm bearing by rescuing you: First, the pressure from the Gao Family, and second, that the Gao Family invited Nalan Zhengqi to act.

Any side is stronger than I am, so the risk of saving you is great. You must be valuable for me to dare to save you." Ye Hao explained clearly.

"You know my grandson Zheng Shuang?" Zheng Guang excitedly asked Ye Hao.

"I don't know him, but I was formerly with Team A," Ye Hao said.

"You don't know him? Then what value do you expect me to provide?" Zheng Guang asked Ye Hao, seeing a path to survival. He didn't want to die; he still wanted to live to seek vengeance for his Zheng Family.

"At your peak, what realm did you reach?" Ye Hao asked.

"Inn… You might not understand if I told you." Zheng Guang thought Ye Hao was so young, maybe he wouldn't know what Innate meant, so he shook his head without speaking.

"Innate what realm," Ye Hao knew what he meant, so he directly asked what level of Innate he was.

Upon hearing Ye Hao's words, Zheng Guang also understood Ye Hao knew what an Innate expert was, so he frankly said, "I had reached the peak of the Initial Innate stage, and I believe as long as I don't die this time, I can definitely break through to the Intermediate Innate stage."

"Where does your confidence come from?" Ye Hao asked with a smile.

"I want revenge; I want to kill the Gao Family. Otherwise, I would betray my Zheng Family ancestors." Zheng Guang's voice was somber.

"Haha, it's good to have ambitions, but I think the Gao Family also has Innate experts!" Ye Hao joked.

"What about you! Can you help me take revenge? If you can help me, I will devote my life to being your servant. You can enslave me in the future," Zheng Guang earnestly said.

"Are you sure?" Ye Hao was intrigued by Zheng Guang's words.

Because Zheng Guang was the one who voluntarily sought to join Ye Hao, and Ye Hao didn't coerce him, even offering to help with his revenge…

"I'm sure; we could form an alliance by blood," Zheng Guang suggested using an old tradition.

"Great! I believe you. Once your health is restored, I'll assign an Innate expert to assist you; how you deal with the Gao Family will be your responsibility. But I must warn you, while avenging the Gao Family, you must not indiscriminately kill the innocent, must not harm women or children, and you must wear a mask. After killing the Gao Family's higher-ups, leave immediately; if you can do this, then let's proceed!" Ye Hao stated.

He didn't want to save Zheng Guang only to cause more death, after all, life is precious!

Although during wars between nations Ye Hao would ruthlessly eliminate enemy soldiers, that was war, different nationalities uphold different dignity and have various modes of interaction.

But if it involved killing ordinary people within a city, wiping out an entire family, Ye Hao genuinely did not want to witness such events.

Zheng Guang paused, then nodded in agreement: "Okay, I promise you, I never intended to harm the innocent."

Ye Hao nodded in satisfaction upon hearing that. Fortunately, Zheng Guang wasn't blinded by rage. (To be continued.
