Realms In The Firmament

Master Qin realized it immediately. It was fine to have a quarrel with his old brothers, but he couldn’t disgrace himself by chicanery in speaking. He knew he did a wrong thing, and he couldn’t deny it because it would truly hurt the other’s feelings!

Master Guan coldly said, “Why stop? Didn’t you feel so right about yourself? Why stay silent? You got such a great thing from him, and now you are so eager to turn against him! How could you? Does silence make help you escape? I never know you are such a shameless man, Qin Wudao! If your cultivation is as good as your shamelessness, you will be invincible in the world…”

Master Guan kept scolding him, and he didn’t dare to talk back. His face turned red, blue, green, and then colorless. What a play of face changing!

Master Guan was still angry, and he even started to blame the other old masters. Suddenly, somebody said something loudly.

“Stop this now. As you wish, let’s check the Bloodline Jade Plate!”

A silver lane of light shined in the sky.

A long stream of light was tearing the sky apart.

A middle-aged man suddenly showed up, who was in white clothes, looking down at the crowd with a pair of cold eyes.

“Great Ancestor.” People of the seven clans knelt down at the same time.

Ye Yunduan was respectful too. He slightly bowed and said, “Ancestor Yue.”

The middle-aged man paced down to the ground casually from the sky, as if he was stepping down the stairs. Every step he made, a moon and a golden lotus would appear and hold his foot.

Everybody felt peaceful and calm as this man showed up.

Ancestor Yue seemed to walk pretty slowly, but actually, he was fast. Within seconds, he had reached Ye Xiao.

That was incredibly fast. He wasn’t faster than Erhuo, but he was special!

Ye Xiao looked at the man, without fear in his eyes. He was calm.

Ancestor Yue looked at Ye Xiao and then turned around to look at Ye Yunduan. He seemed to feel difficult.

As he looked at Ye Xiao again, he smiled and said, “I haven’t shown myself to the public for a hundred thousand years. Now here I am, for what happened a hundred thousand years ago. There is always a reason for something. You have done something I never expected, young man. This is complicated now.”

Ye Xiao blandly smiled and said, “That is not true. The young Master Ye over there is recognized. I, the Monarch Ye, is simple too. However, it is surprising.”

People of the seven clans all felt frightened. They obviously never knew that Ye Xiao dared to be so unruly while talking to Ancestor Yue. They wanted to shout and stop Ye Xiao, but they didn’t dare to even talk loudly in front of their Great Ancestor.

“I am Yue Youyou. Have you heard of my name?” The middle-aged man smiled. He wasn’t angry at all. When he asked the question, he seemed to be quite interested.

It was so strange. Everybody felt like the world had just gotten through another one hundred thousand years within a few seconds!

Everybody felt blank.

“I do.” Ye Xiao stood straight up and smiled. “The Seven Golden Lotuses and the Great Ye Clan. You are the Phantom Moon, Yue Youyou.”

“You have crossed the entire Limitless Ocean with one step and slaughtered the three Sky Immortals in the old days. You have guarded the south gate of the East Sky with one sword in your hand for ten days. A moon over the north of the city. Nobody could get in or out the south gate of the capital of the East Sky. That is legendary. Of course, I know.”

Ye Xiao talked with respect, but in his eyes, there was only indifference.

Yue Youyou made a sigh and said, “That is a long time ago…”

He asked, “Master Ye Yunduan, one of the things Ye Xiao just said isn’t true. Do you know which one?”

Ye Yunduan was surprised. ‘One of them is not true? What?’

‘How do I know?’

‘That was over a hundred thousand years ago… How am I supposed to know? Nobody told me about it ever anyway.’

However, he was the descendant of the Great Ye Clan, a child of the Great Master Ye’s bloodline. If there is any secret about his clan, he must know about it. Yue Youyou didn’t intentionally make trouble for him.

Ye Yunduan bitterly smiled and respectfully said, “I don’t know.”

Yue Youyou humphed and casually said, “Well, so be it. How many of the things that Ye Xiao just mentioned do you know?”

Ye Yunduan was surprised again. He knew that lying was never going to work while talking to a powerful man like Yue Youyou. If he lied, it would disgrace himself. Even though he didn’t want to, he answered with honesty, “I haven’t heard much about it. In fact, I know none of those things.”

Yue Youyou nodded. He was still calm, and he just blandly said, “Right.”

After that, he didn’t ask Ye Yunduan anything anymore. After a while, he broke the silence and asked Ye Xiao again, “Ye Xiao, how did you get to know all those things? They could be some stories in the old days. I believe they should be forgotten after all these years… It was over a hundred thousand years ago after all. Men forget. They always do.”
