Realms In The Firmament

Ye Xiao kept thinking fast in his mind, but he acted calm and casual. He spoke in a deep voice, “Is he? I haven’t met that Frost Sword ever, but I have heard about the story of him… such a unique and dominant figure in the world…”

[It is lucky that I was cautious enough. If I didn’t force him to change his face a bit, he would definitely get exposed.]

Ye Nantian looked solemn all of a sudden as he said in a deep voice, “Xiao Xiao, you told me that the friend of yours has given you the spiritual dan beads. Is there anything you didn’t tell me?”

“No, there isn’t. When I left Cold Moon Palace and traveled in the martial world, I met Brother Han with luck. We became friends to each other just like that. We became good friends for the first sight. It is not a big deal that he gave me some dan beads…” Ye Xiao said.

“Not a big deal? Kid! You are still too young! You don’t know what you were talking about. I have shown the dan beads to the two ladies and your mother on the way back home. Do you know what they said about the dan beads? You got to be honest with me. Those dan beads are rare even in Qing-Yun Realm! Any one of those dan beads could lead to a war in the martial world! You have received such a huge gift from him, yet you talked like it was nothing!” Ye Nantian scolded.

Yue Gongxue interrupted, “Why are you talking like this? Xiao Xiao is still a kid. He doesn’t know the value of the dan beads…” Then she talked to Ye Xiao, “Xiao Xiao, I have to say something about this though. Your friend must be really nice to you. I heard that you used to shout at him a lot. Don’t do that again. He is a good friend. Do you understand?”

Ye Xiao, Yue Shuang, and Yue Han were all shocked. [What the hell do they have in mind? How did things develop to this end?]

Ye Nantian said, “Xiao Xiao, did you just call him Brother Han? I think it answers many questions. I am weak in cultivation, but I am experienced in the martial world. I know what I see. That man is not some ordinary cultivator. He is indeed much weaker than Master Han, the Frost Sword, but his qi feels so similar to Master Han. His face is younger, but still much like Han Bingxue. Perhaps he is Master Han Bingxue’s child!”

Yue Shuang added right in time, “I have heard that Han Bingxue has a grandson… who is terribly spoiled… It seems he is also a talented cultivator who could be one of the best among the young generation.”

Ye Nantian nodded and said, “It’s true then. Brother Han is Master Han Bingxue’s grandson.”

Ye Xiao nodded to agree and said, “That bastard! He never told me he was Han Bingxue’s grandson. When I see him next time, I will definitely ask him about his grandfather. There should be no lies between friends!”

Ye Nantian showed him a dark face again. “You fool! What are you thinking? He just doesn’t want to show off! That is called decency! What man keeps telling stories about his father or grandfather? If you dare to shout at little Brother Han again, I will give you a lesson with good punches!”

Yue Gongxue glared at Ye Nantian and said, “Stop shouting now! Xiao Xiao was just speaking! When did he shout at others?” She paused and then talked to Ye Xiao again, “Xiao Xiao, he must be really nice to you. Remember not to break his heart!”

Ye Xiao promised but didn’t think the same. [What the hell is this? The fool, Han Bingxue, takes all the benefits in the end… He must be nice to me, huh? Of course he is! Wait, it sounds weird!]

He didn’t feel right to talk about it this way, but the two ladies couldn’t stop laughing.

He took a long breath out and finally felt relieved. No matter what had just happened, the truth was that his parents believed Han Bingxue was Han Bingxue’s grandson…

That was weird.

Han Bingxue was going to be like an idiot!

After the conversation about Han Bingxue’s grandson, Ye Xiao’s new friend, they started to talk about the news that was important to Cold Moon Palace!

Zhan Yunfei and Zhu Jiutian cared about Xiao Monarch and Li Wuliang’s return. If the two of them returned and made a team with Han Bingxue and Jun Yinglian, it was going to be an incredibly dominant team that even Cold Moon Palace couldn’t defeat!

Ye Nantian and Yue Gongxue had a strong connection with Jun Yinglian and Xiao Monarch, and Ye Xiao had become an excellent friend to Han Bingxue’s grandson… It was such a dim situation for Zhan Yunfei and Zhu Jiutian!

[Even though Ye Nantian and Ye Xiao may not turn against us, they have to stay at least neutral, which means we will never get supports from Misty Cloud Palace and Qiong-Hua Palace through Ye Clan.] They were worried!

Ye Nantian seriously said, “For me, Xiao Monarch and Fierce Blade are both heroes in the realm, who have the manner and kindness of knights… Now that they returned with more dominant powers… I think they are already two of the most influential figures in the world…

“I know Cold Moon Palace has joined the war against Xiao Monarch. However, Xiao Xiao told me that you only showed up in the battles… There is a grudge between you and Xiao Monarch, but it is not unsolvable… After all, you have left the other two great sects not long ago…

“I know I am not in the right position to talk about the business between you, but I still have to say that it is better to get rid of the enmity than to keep it alive. If Cold Moon Palace can sincerely apologize to Xiao Monarch, I think he will forgive you! He is such a generous man after all!”

Ye Nantian said with a smile, “However, perhaps I am just being naive here… It is your business to take care of, and your decision to make after all… What I do is just giving my personal opinions…”

Ye Xiao was glad when he heard Ye Nantian talking about Xiao Monarch. [Well, he is quite a good judge of character. He only met me twice, but has a correct image of me… a hero with the manner and kindness of a knight…]

Erhuo, who was also listening to the words, felt sick about Ye Xiao enjoying the flattering. [Pah! You have always been a cunning, shameless, and despicable person with a narrow mind! Since when did you misunderstand yourself as a generous man?]

[If it is Li Wuliang we are talking about, I will believe it. You? Do you really believe it?]

Zhan Yunfei and Zhu Jiutian were shocked.

It would be an excellent thing for Cold Moon Palace if the enmity could be resolved!
