Chapter 1159: Set Out
Translator: RITF_Rain Editor: Chrissy
Maybe the two ladies still remembered that their brother always went against his promises in the old days. The two of them immediately did one thing at the same time—ask for a pinky promise! The two ladies reached out their little fingers.
Two little fingers were pointing at Ye Xiao's nose at the same time.
"Hmm. Alright. Pinky swear." Ye Xiao reached out his two little fingers too.
Four little figures entwined each other.
After a while, Yue Shuang turned her back to Ye Xiao and sobbed, "Brother… If you die again… We will kill our way to the three factions and die fighting against them. We are not fortunate enough to be reborn on the same date, but we can die on the same date. If there is a god, it apparently doesn't want us to miss the chance, so it gave you a second life. We are not going to miss it again, are we?"
Ye Xiao was touched.
He realized the two girls didn't actually believe the promise he made. They just wanted to set his mind at rest. However, they made a promise that they would die along with him, that death could never split them apart!
Yue Shuang turned around to him and pretended to smile casually. "Relax, brother. We will accompany Uncle Ye to Qiong-Hua Palace and take your mom back home. It will be such a great disgrace if we fail to do such a small thing after staying in Qiong-Hua Palace for so many years."
Yue Han wiped her eyes and made a casual smile too. "It truly is just a piece of cake for the two of us. Don't worry, brother. When you come home, you will have a complete family!"
Ye Xiao warmly smiled and said, "Certainly! I never doubt it. I trust my sisters with all my heart."
The two ladies' eyes turned red. They softly got into his arms and held him. Yue Shuang murmured, "Brother… We have been expecting an opportunity to do something for you… This will be the first thing we do for you…"
Ye Xiao was touched and wordless.
Yue Han smiled with tears. "After all these years… We finally get to do something for you… I don't want this to be the last thing we do for you at the same time… We want to do more… a thousand, ten thousand…"
Then she started to sob and couldn't go on talking.
Ye Xiao tapped the two girls' backs and sighed. "Silly girls, don't worry…"
Don't worry?
The two ladies or Ye Xiao, none of them could truly stop worrying!
At the moment, they felt like they were back to the days when they were in that broken cottage when it was a snowy night with howling wind, and all they had was each other… It seemed like yesterday to them but also like centuries earlier.
Warmth rose up in their hearts.
They just kept holding each other quietly.
Time passed silently.
In the midnight, it suddenly snowed.
After a while, the world was covered by the silver snow.
Yue Shuang and Yue Han sensed the snow hitting the floor, so they left Ye Xiao's arms, walked to the window and slowly opened it.
As expected, the snowflakes were flying in the air. The howling wind blew some snowflakes into the room through the window.
It hit the two ladies' faces.
They were two powerful cultivators. Their automatic energy shield should block the snowflakes. However, they just quietly stood there and let the snowflakes hit themselves. The tears came out of the eyes and flew down the cheeks, clearing away the snow on their faces and leaving two lines of water stains.
The howling wind and the heavy snow were from their deeply buried memory, where they felt joy and happiness.
Ye Xiao slowly walked over to them, reached out his arms and held the two slim girls into his arms in the snow.
The heavy snow continued in the howling wind, blowing into the room just like the old days when the little beggar held his two sisters tight in his arms to keep them warm from the snow.
It was a night of silence!
…
The next morning.
Yue Shuang and Yue Han had gone to get Ye Nantian.
"We should go. We will keep our promise, take you to Qiong-Hua Palace and make your family reunite."
For Ye Nantian, that was the most beautiful thing somebody ever said to him. He was thrilled.
He was excited not only because he was about to see his beloved wife, but also the two ladies were finally going to leave Ye Clan. Unlike Ye Xiao, he didn't know that the two ladies were friendly. After all, there were too many influential figures already. Ye Nantian had never stopped worrying that the two ladies would start a fight to kill Zhan Yunfei and Zhu Jiutian for their dead brother!
Zhan Yunfei and Zhu Jiutian were such honorable cultivators. They would never escape…
That was not the point though. What bothered him most was that he couldn't choose a side. Zhan and Zhu were his son's brother disciples, and they had been fully supporting Ye Clan against Qiong-Hua Palace. They were both Ye Clan's true friends!
The two ladies were, however, the elders of Qiong-Hua Palace. Basically, Ye Clan should stay against them!
However, the two ladies were Xiao Monarch's sworn sisters at the same time. The reason the two ladies would start a fight against Zhan and Zhu, even Cold Moon Palace, was that they wanted to take revenge for their brother, Xiao Monarch. Xiao Monarch was a savior to Ye Nantian's entire family! Xiao Monarch's name even kept the two ladies from attacking Ye Clan! If Ye Nantian stood on Cold Moon Palace's side to fight against the two ladies, he would be as despicable as animals!
Ye Nantian could never do that!
Therefore, he honestly didn't know which side to choose if the two ladies started the battle!
That was why when he heard that the two ladies were leaving, he was so glad. After optionally packing up some stuff, he gave a few words to the elders in the clan and set out with the two ladies.
The only thing that upset him was that his son, Ye Xiao, made a big mistake at the critical moment. He seemed to be breaking through in cultivation. Ye Nantian took a look at him in his room and found that there was smoke rising up behind his head. Apparently, he was in the middle of something vital. It was going to take a long time for him to finish.
Besides, after he successfully broke it, he still needed time to strengthen it, which meant he couldn't go to Qiong-Hua Palace with them.
Ye Xiao couldn't go, yet Yue Shuang and Yue Han wouldn't wait. Ye Nantian had to go with them alone.
The golden hawk flew up and left in advance.
After Ye Nantian and the two ladies were gone, Zhan Yunfei and Zhu Jiutian couldn't endure staying for any longer. They told Ye Clan's people and then took a leave in a hurry.
However, one day after they all left, Ye Xiao set up a spiritual power array in his room and then left secretly. He went along the wind quietly out of Ye Clan's house and reached a place fifty miles away.
He made a shout and then a white shadow started to approach from a distance.
