Chapter 1409 Ning Tianya“s Gains

Learning that the old man in front of him was actually Ning Tianya, the number one expert in the world, Tie Butian was also very surprised.Although Ning Tianya was calm on the surface, he felt very embarrassed. After all… it was a bit ridiculous that he came to help them but was put down by their little one-year-old baby…

Not to mention Ning Tianya, even the Saint of Heavenly Court would probably feel embarrassed to death for such a thing!

But Tie Butian resolved Ning Tianya’s embarrassment with just one sentence.

“If there really was happiness in this world, then I have it now! Thank you, Elder Ning!”

Ning Tianya in his utmost embarrassment was nevertheless moved by this sentence.

Because Ning Tianya was asked to come here by Chu Yang. As a woman who had been separated from her beloved for a long time, in the most difficult times, she received the assistance of her sweetheart. This gave Tie Butian immense happiness!

The presence of Ning Tianya meant that nothing could go wrong! Then, the happiness of Tie Butian in the future would be guaranteed!

Just like an absolute safety assurance, the arrival of Ning Tianya was completely inspiring.

Tie Butian used such a euphemistic way to express her joy and satisfaction. Ning Tianya needed to think for a moment to understand. Meanwhile, all the embarrassment simply drifted away!

Moreover, to a certain extent, it resolved some of the slight hostility in Ning Tianya’s heart — After all, the female emperor in front was the love rival of his own disciple!

But now, in the eyes of Ning Tianya, there was no emperor, only an ordinary woman who felt extremely happy because of the little bit of care from her loved one!

“Now that this old man is here today, I will certainly live up to Chu Yang’s trust.” Ning Tianya smiled. “I will try my best to ensure that you and your child are safe!”

Although Ning Tianya had a 100 percent certainty, he still didn’t make an absolute promise.

Tie Butian said earnestly, “If you are confident, Elder Ning, please also… protect my people of the Lower Three Heavens! This chaos started because of Chu Yang and me, but… I don’t want anyone in this world to suffer because of this!”

“Since the beginning of my rule, my realm has been prosperous. At present, the world is peaceful. The people have rested and recuperated. The sufferings of the war in previous years have slightly recovered in the past few years. At present, people are living a happy life. But this happiness is not easy to come by and is very fragile. If a big war happens at this time… or if a battle of the strong creates geological catastrophes… it will inevitably cast a shadow on the hearts of the people… and even hurt them. So… please take care of them, Elder Ning.”

Ning Tianya sighed and said, “Naturally!”

At this moment, Ning Tianya actually felt some admiration for this female emperor.

It was rare for him to feel anything like this, but this time, it was because of Tie Butian’s mindset.

In the eyes of ordinary people, if they knew the inside story, they would definitely think — Your husband is the Nine Tribulations Sword Master, soaring above the Nine Heavens! You just need to follow him, and you will have countless glory and wealth!

Secular imperial power was nothing compared with the godly power of determining life and death!

After all, in the eyes of the strong, all the worldly living beings were as insignificant as ants.

However, despite being a woman, Tie Butian could uphold her responsibilities and use her abilities to seek happiness for the subjects of her world!

She did not take her responsibilities lightly.

It had been a few days since Ning Tianya came down to the Lower Three Heavens, but everywhere he went, everyone praised the emperor, and comments on her wisdom were endless.

This was the most honest evaluation from people at the bottom!

Such an emperor was rare in history!

What’s more, this emperor was a woman.

Ning Tianya said softly, “When this matter is settled, Your Majesty can then accompany little brother Chu Yang across the world, conquer the Nine Heavens… Won’t that be enjoyable?”

Tie Butian’s eyes were a bit misty, there was a longing in them, yet immediately she took a deep breath and said softly, “There are responsibilities on my shoulders and in my heart. Everyone must keep their responsibilities!”

She smiled lightly. “In the eyes of Supremacy, or of the so-called immortal and sanctified person, the mortal people in the world are no more significant than ants… But which saint, which immortal in the world did not start with that insignificant body?”

“No matter the current position, to forget that insignificant start, even if someone is the ruler of the heavens, I would still say that they have forgotten their origins! And for someone who has forgotten their origins, what qualifications do they have to discuss Great Tao?”

“If one disregarded the suffering of people in the world the moment they attain enlightenment, then what is the use of attaining enlightenment?”

“Chu Yang has his own mission, and I… also have mine!” Tie Butian looked at the vast expanse of land outside the great hall and said slowly, “This land, this world, these people, they are my mission!”

“Even an ant ought to have an ant’s happiness!”

“It also has the right to happiness!”

“If others can’t bring them happiness, then my mission will always be on my shoulders!”

“There is no gender to an emperor.”

“I am an emperor!”

“An emperor is a job, not an honored title!”

“As a woman, I… can’t do my best. But as an emperor… I can’t let that go easily… Closing eyes for a moment may make thousands miserable, and one instance of idleness may make millions hungry and cold…”

Tie Butian’s eyes dimmed and she said, “Others are women first before they are something else, but I… have to be an emperor first… before I can possibly be a woman!”

Ning Tianya stopped talking.

Tie Butian’s words were all sincere.

In the presence of people like Ning Tianya, nothing could be faked. Whenever a word was not spoken from the heart, Ning Tianya could feel it!

However, until Tie Butian finished, Ning Tianya only felt sincereness!

Supremacy Ning sighed long in his heart.

He didn’t know what luck Chu Yang had that such an amazing woman actually fell in love with him!

To such a woman, Ning Tianya had nothing else to say.

He only felt fortunate — If his disciple were to compete fairly with her… She might actually lose.”

After pondering for a while, Ning Tianya suddenly blurted out a sentence unknowingly. “Chu Yang’s woman… is my only disciple.”

Tie Butian didn’t seem surprised but just smiled, “What do you mean, Elder?”

In fact, as soon as that sentence came out, Ning Tianya wanted to slap himself, and now he was even more unable to speak.

“Chu Yang already has a beloved person. I have known this for a long time, that’s why I have been secretive about my feelings.” Tie Butian seemed to be explaining something. She grinned bitterly and said, “I don’t like to fight with anyone for anything… Nor do I like others fighting with me. If he hadn’t been poisoned… he wouldn’t have known my identity…”

“Afterwards, I found that I had a child. ” Tie Butian pursed her lips and said, “Then, I even wanted to use secret ways of the palace to get rid of this child… I didn’t want to be his burden or to give him a reason to accept me…”

“But I’m selfish as a woman after all,” Tie Butian said in a self-mocking manner. “Firstly, I couldn’t bear to do that to a child with a man I approved; secondly, I couldn’t bear to do that as a mother; thirdly… Iron Cloud also needs an heir!”

“The Iron Cloud royal family’s bloodline only has me left. If there is no offspring, this will be the end of it. Elder, do not think that I, Tie Butian, am the kind of woman who would have a child with just any random man…”

Tie Butian smiled ironically and then continued seriously. “So… even if I was scolded as shameless… I don’t regret it. No woman would kill her own flesh and blood just because other people called her shameless… Hehe…”

“Even though it hurts your disciple, I-I can only say sorry.” Tie Butian chuckled softly. “Actually… Your disciple is also one of the reasons why I don’t want to go to the Upper Three Heavens with Chu Yang.”

“As a woman, I understand her. It is difficult for me to face my guilt toward her. Especially when we’re face to face… Here, I can still comfort myself, but if…”

Ning Tianya finally had nothing to say.

For such a woman, even though when he came down, he felt dissatisfied and hostile toward her, but at this moment, his heart was full of admiration.

As a woman, she was flawless.

As an emperor, she was invincible and also the most qualified.

As a person, she was still successful!

Ning Tianya sighed long and said sincerely, “Your Majesty’s name is Butian[1], no wonder you can really fix the sky!”

Tie Butian was silent for a moment and said, “Thank you for your compliment, Elder!”

Ning Tianya stood up and said, “I want to take a look at the little prince, please give me permission, Your Majesty.”

Tie Butian smiled. “Please suit yourself, Elder Ning. In our Iron Cloud, you can move around as you wish!”

Ning Tianya smiled but couldn’t stop sighing inside.

A few words had been echoing inside Ning Tianya’s mind.

“…Which saint, which immortal in the world did not start with an insignificant body?

“No matter the current position, to forget that insignificant start, even if someone is the ruler of the heavens, I would still say that they have forgotten their origins! And for someone who has forgotten their origins, what qualifications do they have to discuss Great Tao?”

“If one disregarded the suffering of people in the world the moment they attain enlightenment, then what is the use of attaining enlightenment?”

These words kept echoing inside Ning Tianya’s mind like rolling thunder. Every time, he seemed to have some new understanding.

Think of that little baby’s tree, that strange world…

Ning Tianya had another layer of insight in his heart.

“I never thought that after I’ve been trapped by this bottleneck for more than 10,000 years, I would be entrusted to come down to the Lower Three Heavens for someone else and actually obtain something I never dreamed of before, that too in the place that I never paid any attention to!”

“Before, I was only worried that there was no path in front, but now, in the Lower Three Heavens, this mother and son have actually each pointed me to a path! From no road, it turned into two roads at once, becoming a junction…” Ning Tianya shook his head and laughed. “This is really unexpected… But the greater secret is yet to be found from that little guy… This time, my gain is so great…”
