Realms In The Firmament

After a few seconds, Ye Xiao was calm and casual again. He slowly lowered his head and spoke in a low voice, “Let’s go.”

[When there is gain, there is a loss. One can never ask for too much.] Ye Xiao talked to himself. At this moment, the grievance in his heart made him want to kill.

His body flashed, and he disappeared.

That was fast.

He didn’t need to hide his real power now.

With a thundering sound, he rushed up to the sky with countless bolts of lightning striking around him.

It was the power of a peak cultivator from a man conquering the sky over the clouds!

Dark clouds were gathering, while bolts of lightning were striking. Ye Xiao was moving so fast that nobody knew how far he had gone.

He didn’t look back.

The other four people also thrust up to the sky too. In the sky of the Town of Ye, bolts of lightning were striking again and again. Five superior Dao Origin Stage cultivators were operating their full power to fly in the sky. With waves of thunderclaps, they had gone far!

Dao Origin Stage cultivators moved with lightning and thunderclaps!

…

Ye Clan people were shocked while looking at the five people leaving in a stunning way. Everybody in the clan looked proud at the same time.

[That is a member of us!]

[That is our young lord!]

Yue Gongxue seemed lost, staring at the sky. Nobody knew whether she was looking at Ye Xiao or anything else. Her eyes looked blank.

After a long time, Ye Nantian made a long sigh and held his wife in arms. “Xiao Xiao is gone…”

Yue Gongxue trembled and murmured, “Xiao Xiao… Is he already gone?”

At that moment, the two of them both thought of a different meaning of the question…

Was Xiao Xiao going somewhere else? Or was Xiao Xiao gone forever?

The two of them held each other and returned to the house. Yue Gongxue looked absent-minded. When they got to the room, she sat on the bed and started weeping again.

She wept a lot in those few days. Women are made of water!

Ye Nantian didn’t know how to comfort his wife. He didn’t know what to say, so he stayed silent.

After a while, they realized something, which broke the silence… The two superior cul tiv ators sensed something in the room.

“What smells so good?”

“Why… is it so cold?”

The two of them spoke at the same time, each pointing out one weird thing.

They started to scan the entire room with their spiritual minds and found out something under their pillows.

They looked to it and got shocked.

Under Ye Nantian’s pillow, there were four Qiong-Hua Pearls, four Pure Lotus Seeds, and one Ice Essence Soul.

The treasures Yue Gongxue had given to Ye Xiao were all there, glowing with cold light and emitting a beautiful scent.

Aside from that, there were over ten jade bottles, each of which had ten dan beads inside.

The jade bottle had covered all the glow from the dan beads, but Ye Nantian wasn’t strange to those dan beads…

Supreme Dan!

There was a note under each bottle to explain the efficacy of the dan beads and the suggested use of it.

All those valuable things lied on the bed silently…

Yue Gongxue started weeping again.

“Xiao Xiao… didn’t take anything with him.” She felt sad. Tears kept running down like two lines of pearls.

“I felt it… I knew he wanted me to hug him before he left… I didn’t… Why didn’t I…” She burst into tears.

Ye Nantian kept making sighs.

“Why didn’t he take these treasures with him… I want him to…” Yue Gongxue’s heart was twisted. She said, “That night when I gave them to him… He was so happy… I could feel it… He was happy…”

Her heart was broken when thinking about that night when Ye Xiao happily accepted the treasures.

[Why… Why did you leave them behind?]

“I think he has heard our conversation the other night…” Ye Nantian seemed troubled. “He is a super-level cultivator… He is much stronger than both of us… He could hear anything he wanted…”

Then he swallowed the rest of the words he wanted to say and made a long sigh in the end.

He was depressed at the moment.

Yue Gongxue was a mother who loved her son wholeheartedly!

Because her love was pure, she couldn’t accept an impure son. That was why she cared about it and kept questioning about it!

Her eyes opened widely while staring at Ye Nantian and quiveringly said, “Do you mean… he heard what we said about him, so he… he…”

She stared at the treasures and jade bottles on the bed.

[Supreme Dan.] She thought.

She was the former saintess of a dominant sect, so she definitely knew what the dan beads were and how valuable they were. Each dan bead in any of the bottles was more valuable than all those treasures together!

The treasures from Qiong-Hua Palace were rare, but they weren’t unreachable. However, Supreme Dan was a myth!

It was incomparable!

Ye Xiao had actually left them over a hundred Supreme Dan Beads.

“Since Xiao Xiao came home, he had done so much for the clan… What he did for the clan meant much more than all these things on the bed. Song Jue and I… He cured us both, improved our cultivation, and helped us back to the realm… It was Xiao Xiao!” Ye Nantian looked at Yue Gongxue and the treasures on the bed…

“He had done everything for us to return to Qing-Yun Realm…

“He always keeps everything to himself…

“He never says anything he has done for others…

“He has never opened his heart…”

Ye Nantian got emotional, speaking louder and louder, “Even if he turns out to be… He has done nothing harmful to Ye Clan… He did everything for Ye Clan… He even put himself in grievance…

“What he did, he did them for Ye Clan, for the family…

“After all that he has done… After raising up Ye Clan to the top of Qing-Yun Realm, he left, taking nothing away…

“He had done so much for the clan… yet he was hurt…”

Ye Nantian sighed. “I can feel how heartbroken he is. I can feel how terrible the scar that will remain in his heart…”

“I have to say…” His lips were shaking.

“Even if he is… not…

“I accept it!

“I do!”

He spoke in a deep voice.

“I definitely do!”

Yue Gongxue was curling up on the bed. It seemed she was blank. After a while, she said, “My son… I do too! He is my son!”

“It is too late now… Too late.” Ye Nantian closed his eyes painfully. “When we said those words, when he heard us, it was already too late. You haven’t spent much time with him, so you don’t understand his personality. I have lived with him for a long time… I should have known… It is all my fault…”

In his opinion, he had stayed with Ye Xiao for a long time, so he should know Ye Xiao well. In fact, he thought he knew this Ye Xiao more than the foppish one!

Yue Gongxue didn’t spend much time with Ye Xiao, so it was reasonable that she would freak out!

Mankind was always limited. No matter how rational one was, there was still an irrational side. The great mother, Yue Gongxue, could be irrational. The wise man, Ye Nantian, could be irrational too!

…

Under the treasures and bottles, there was an envelope. Ye Xiao left a letter for them.

The letter just lied there, without a single word on it.

It was blank.

It was unknown what he had written.
