Chapter 164: Past Events of Those Years

  "The era has become more severe. These are all the arrangements of the sect. Moreover, on this Qingxia Mountain, no one will be able to come and disturb you either. So, your thanks are accepted with humility."

  Without intending to eavesdrop, she heard the conversation between the two people behind her. At first, Cang Ye was slightly stunned. But in a flash of inspiration, he seemed to have thought of something. A confident and cheerful smile spread across his entire face.

  In fact, calling Cang Ye like that was also something they had to do. The supreme dignity could not be blasphemed! Even if they were Cang Ye's seniors, they absolutely couldn't address him as a junior again! If Cang Ye didn't have this relationship with them, even the Spirit King would have to show respect and courtesy when seeing Cang Ye now, addressing him as "You".

  "Although it's like this, but the two masters' protection during this period has also saved me a lot of trouble. Cang Ye is still extremely grateful."

  Without waiting for them to say anything, he bowed his head and thanked them directly.

  But seeing Cang Ye's actions, the two Supremes directly flashed open. When did they, as Supreme existences, not even dare to accept the etiquette of their juniors?

  The humble head bowed, and the other person's movements could also be felt. Whether or not to thank him was his problem, as for whether or not to accept, that was someone else's business. The courtesy had been extended, if the other party didn't accept it, he didn't need to continue like this either.

  Cang Ye suddenly stood up, and the three of them chatted for a bit before the two Supremes left. It wasn't that they didn't want to continue talking with Cang Ye, but if they stayed any longer, they would become detestable to others.

  Because in front of the two of them, the fiancée of that genius had already arrived here.

  Whether it was Cang Ye or the current Yu Ling, they were obviously lower in status than him in the eyes of the highest level. The two of them meeting, as seniors, couldn't bear to stay and continue to disturb him.

  As soon as the two disappeared from view, Yu Ling rushed over and tightly wrapped her arms around Cang Ye's waist, burying her head deep in his chest. Soon, a moist feeling reached his heart.

  Gently stroking the soft and smooth long hair of Yu Ling, the two just stood there.

  The girl in his arms, Cang Ye always felt a lot of guilt. This time was originally intended to have a good play, but finally encountered such a situation. Gently helped Yu Ling out, the two people's eyes completed the exchange at this moment.

  They've been together since they were ten years old, although it can't be said that they are purely childhood sweethearts. However, their feelings absolutely transcend everything. The tacit understanding between the two has long reached a level where they can communicate without language.

  "After things are settled, we'll go back to the imperial palace and pay our respects to your father-in-law and mother-in-law."

  When he heard Cang Ye's words, Yu Ling's face suddenly turned red. Although the two had been engaged for nearly five years, until now, Cang Ye had not seen Yu Ling's parents at all. He didn't even know what their identities were. For a son-in-law, it was really too derelict of duty.

  She gently nodded and pressed her head against Cang Ye's chest once again.

  Since the moment five years ago when Cang Ye's sword shocked Qing Xia, the time they spent together can be counted on one hand. Although their status is now the most revered in the world, but in Yu Ling's heart, it still cannot compare to the happy days when she first arrived at Qing Xia Mountain.

  Days like today, where I can quietly nestle in the bosom of a dark night, are already hard to come by...

  "By the way, Brother Ye, your cousin and a man who claims to be introduced by you are currently living in Qingxia City at the foot of the mountain. However, they are not disciples of our Qingxia Sect and do not have the qualification to enter the mountain. Therefore, they have not come up to visit you."

  Suddenly, Yu Ling seemed to have thought of something and looked up at Cang Ye saying.

  Upon hearing this, Cang Ye finally realized that the matter of the Tong Hai Empire from a while ago had yet to be concluded! His own grandfather had yet to be found!

  Looking at Cang Ye's slightly anxious face, before he could even open his mouth, Yu Ling had already spoken up.

  "Gege, don't worry, Grandpa is fine. He's now resting quietly at the foot of the mountain. It's just that he has been dormant for several years and his body hasn't fully recovered yet. Everything else is very healthy."

  Hearing Yu Ling's words, Cang Ye immediately put his mind at ease. As long as everyone is fine, that's all that matters.

  "Ling'er, let's go down the mountain together to see Grandpa now! Since I was born until now, I haven't seen him once."

  The tone was slightly subdued, and as for this grandfather, no matter what time he existed, there wasn't a single memory of him. However, that blood tie was always the most real existence. So, for a family member, even if they had never met, or even had some resentment towards them, there was still some hope to meet them as soon as possible.

  She nodded lightly. For such things, Yu Ling would never express any dissatisfaction. As long as Cang Ye was happy, she was also happy.

  She glanced at Yueling with a hint of gratitude. This girl had always been the most sensible one.

  Gently holding onto the outstretched arm, Cang Ye took to the skies with his winged spirit and left the room where he had been cooped up for almost four months.

  At this time, it was officially noon, and most of the disciples either went to eat or rest. The entire hall had only a few core disciples and elders who were still together.

  When Cang Ye walked out of the corridor from the back hall, more than a dozen people who were staying here were slightly stunned. They didn't understand when this junior fellow practitioner had returned.

  Unlike them, the few people who knew about Cang Ye's existence saw him at this time and were all smiling. Being able to walk out of the room at this time probably meant that his injuries had already healed!

  "Brother Cang, have your injuries healed?"

  With a hint of excitement, Sun Hao looked at Cang Ye and asked excitedly. Originally, he was planning to go to the Void Battlefield for cultivation. But just as he had finished handling the affairs of Fengjiu and was about to set off, he saw Cang Ye being escorted back by Zongmen Wushang and Emperor Medicine himself! At that moment, seeing Cang Ye's appearance, he too felt like his three souls were leaving his body. Whether it was from an emotional standpoint or in terms of importance to Fengjiu, the current Cang Ye was no longer just a simple disciple.

  His existence is a symbol of mystery and dusk!

  It wasn't until later, when he found out that Cang Ye didn't have any serious injuries, that he was able to put his mind at ease. Afterwards, Li Tian Luo's sudden closure of the Void Battlefield for repairs made him directly give up on the idea of going there to cultivate. Although cultivation was important, in his eyes, the weight of the sect was apparently even more important.

  "Master brother, I've recovered."

  Hearing Cang Ye's response, Sun Hao also completely put his mind at ease.

  "Big Brother Master, where is Master?"

  Having finished answering Sun Hao's questions, Cang Ye began to observe his surroundings. However, after searching the entire hall, he still couldn't find...

  No sign of Li Tian Luo's figure.

  When he mentioned Li Tian Luo's name, everyone's expression changed.

  Seeing this situation, Cang Ye also knew that something must have gone wrong!

  "Big Brother Master, what's going on? Did something really happen to Master?"

  His face was solemn, and Li Tian Luo's kindness to him was something that Cang Ye couldn't repay even if he spent his entire life trying. Even if it meant risking his own life for the sake of his master, he wouldn't hesitate. So, seeing the expressions on everyone's faces, Cang Ye's heart slowly sank as well.

  "Cang Shidi, after your recent incident, Master Uncle is filled with remorse. For this reason, on the third day after you return, he has closed himself in to meditate until death. Until he reaches the highest level, he will never come out of his meditation!"

  When he heard these words, Cang Ye fell silent. Although Li Tian Luo was sometimes not normal. But as the first person of the previous generation, even his former opponent, Ba Mo Yan Tian Fo, acknowledged Li Tian Luo's strength. The first person always has the pride of being the first person. No matter what it is for, since Li Tian Luo really closed himself in the dead gate, then there are only two outcomes.

  One is to break the king's seal and become the heavenly emperor. The other is to step into the abyss, never to return...

  "Master, what's the point of this again?!"

  A deep sigh. For a master like a father, Cang Ye had too many things that he couldn't bear to part with. If he really perished because of his impatience during this period, then this matter would also become a demon obstacle in Cang Ye's future cultivation.

  "Junior Brother Cang, after all, Master Uncle's cultivation has reached the extreme point. It is only natural that he would be conferred the title of Supreme. This time in seclusion, the successful aspects have taken up a very large part. You don't need to worry too much."

  "This time, Shifu's closed-door meditation is not just for your sake."

  Upon hearing this, Cang Ye's eyebrows furrowed slightly. Was there some external force compelling Master?

  Seeing Cang Ye's expression at this time, Sun Hao seemed to have realized that Cang Ye had misunderstood. He hastily opened his mouth to explain. The current Cang Ye was no longer the child who was only slightly talented in the past. He had already sealed his title and become the supreme being of this world. Such a powerful person, once enraged, would truly cause heaven and earth to shatter!

  "In fact, there is another reason for this retreat, which is that Master forced himself!"

  Upon hearing these words, Cang Ye was slightly stunned. He didn't understand what Sun Hao meant by them. However, he didn't interrupt Sun Hao's speech either, instead subtly gesturing for him to continue speaking.

  "One of the reasons why Master closed up this time is still because of the master of the little princess - You Yuefeng, Zi Lian Wang, Zhao Zilian!"

  "My master?!"

  When she heard this, Yu Ling couldn't help but interrupt. As for that master, her impression was no longer very deep. Since taking her in as a disciple, Zhao Zihui had been in a long period of seclusion until now. So, with the passage of time, Zhao Zihui's image in her mind had gradually faded away. However, one day as a teacher is forever as a father! Even though it had gradually faded away, Zhao Zihui's name still existed.
