Chapter 1: Crossing into Another World

  Watching the figure of Cang Ye disappear into the distance, thinking about that one sword that sent chills down their spines, all the elders felt extremely uncomfortable.

  Originally, the Cang Clan could have become the number one family among the Seven Great Empires...

  When Cang Ye returned home, he found the master in the hall chatting with his parents. Although they were chatting, the worry between their eyebrows was clearly visible.

  Adjusted his mood and put on a smiling face, Cang Ye strode into the doorway.

  "Father, mother, I'm back." The voice arrived before the person did.

  "Ye Er, Ye Er is back, come quick, let Mother take a look!" Upon hearing Cang Ye's voice, Shang Guan Xia didn't care about anything else and rushed over in just a few strides, almost instantly appearing before Cang Ye.

  Reached out his hand, in the dark night, he felt up and down her body, as if to confirm whether she was injured or not.

  After all, with an age of almost thirty in mind, although I am very moved by my mother's approach, I still feel embarrassed.

  "Oh dear! I really don't have anything going on, Mother, you can rest assured!"

  Although she heard Cang Ye say that, Shang Guan Xia still hesitated for a moment and only let go of her hands after seeing that he was indeed not seriously injured.

  Cang Yun's gaze at Cang Ye was filled with relief, although he also wanted to learn from Shang Guan Xia and go forward to carefully check if his son was really unharmed. However, the dignity of being the head of the household, combined with outsiders present, made him still restrain his actions.

  "Night, how did you deal with it?" After Cang Ye sat down, Cang Yun also didn't avoid the master who was on the side and directly asked.

  "It's like this..." The events that were going to happen were told to Cangyun in detail. As for the power of his own sword, he naturally didn't need to explain much, just describing it as being relatively strong. Of course, those present also wouldn't have thought that the sword would be so powerful.

  When he heard that his own child could actually take on a peak spiritual master alone, Cangyun couldn't help but feel excited and cheered him on nonstop.

  The person in charge of the Qingxia Building on the side secretly wiped a cold sweat.

  Fortunately, fortunately I didn't offend this young master, otherwise I would have been killed by him with a single sword, and no one would have said anything.

  But thinking again, this time protecting his parents can also be considered as making him owe a not-so-big-not-so-small favor. Such a genius, only if he doesn't fall, will definitely become a dominant force in the future, it's a ten-out-of-ten certainty.

  Thinking of this, a smile overflows from words.

  When it came to talking about the toxins in their parents' bodies, both of them fell silent.

  "Son, actually what you said, your mother and I had already sensed it, but we didn't dare to believe that Sixth Elder would really do such a thing. Ah, your parents are not young anymore, being able to see you turn out so well is worth living for this lifetime. Since the poison is slow-acting, then don't think about it anymore. Maybe it'll take several more years before it takes effect!" Hearing Cang Yun's optimistic words, the son felt uneasy in his heart.

  Who does not want to live, who is willing to die?

  As long as there is a glimmer of hope, anyone who is in a desperate situation will go all out to fight for it. That's why Cang Yun doesn't want to reveal the antidote, and also fears that Cang Ye might do something irrational because of this.

  At that time, when they felt something was wrong with their bodies, the two of them had visited a reclusive pharmacist in the Yan Tian Empire. Because Shangguan Xia's father, Shangguan Jinghong, was also a powerful figure who shook one side of the world, but for some reason, he lost his trail. However, before disappearing, he also made friends with many capable and eccentric people. And that pharmacist was one of Shangguan Jinghong's good friends.

  Upon learning that his good friend's daughter and son-in-law might have been poisoned, the pharmacist also tried every means to investigate the source of the poison and prepare an antidote. Unfortunately, the result was disappointing.

  Even that renowned predecessor couldn't be found. Although one's own child is extremely powerful, wanting to find someone to detoxify oneself would likely require great sacrifices. That pharmacist had also said before, wanting to detoxify, it's probably only possible with extremely rare and precious materials or a super strong expert who has mastered the art of medicine. Otherwise, there might really be no other way!

  The child has suffered enough. Besides, being able to see his son turn out so well is a lifetime's worth of happiness. Therefore, Cangyun does not want Cangye to risk himself for this anymore.

  A faint smile, and Father's thoughts can be understood a little. However, these things that may be as difficult as ascending to heaven for others are still relatively simple for oneself. The calculation is hard, but he won't just sit back and watch his parents die!

  "Dad, Mom, don't worry about it. I've thought this through long ago. Everything is going to be alright!"

  Seeing Cang Ye's confident appearance, Cang Yun and his wife also showed joy on their faces.

  Who wants to die when they can live?

  "Yè ér, you really have a way? It won't be difficult, with your Uncle Zhāi's spiritual medicine, my parents can hold on for a few more years."

  I think that old man Jia is probably the pharmacist my parents mentioned. Cang Ye thought to himself. I'll definitely repay him when I have the chance.

  "Father, mother, don't worry. I have a senior fellow apprentice who is well-versed in medicine, and as long as he takes action, even the dead can be brought back to life, let alone this minor poison?"

  When Cang Ye heard this, both of their faces completely revealed a smile.

  Now hearing this, it won't be the last time we meet. The remaining burden has also been completely let go of.

  "Alright! Since that's the case, then tonight when you go back, your parents will accompany you to pay a visit to that senior."

  "Father, I've already sent word to the sect. I believe it won't be long before that senior from the sect arrives!"

  Not relying on the favor of the night to be arrogant, it's clear that we can wait and go together for treatment, but instead insisting that a senior from the sect come over.

  But it's because he discovered the dead machine inside his parents' bodies! Although the dead machine doesn't necessarily mean they'll die immediately, who can guarantee that these next few days will be safe?

  Wait with parents' lives.

  He

  Can't afford to gamble!

  "I don't know which peak this senior brother is from, and I forgot to ask, it's really impolite"

  Now, this young and promising junior brother has finally remembered himself, and the master's heart is finally at ease with that big stone lifted off his mind.

  What's scary is that after doing so many things, the other party doesn't even know who you are. How can you ask for help when you encounter difficulties in the future?

  "It's nothing, Junior Brother Cang. I am Xie Chunfeng, a disciple of Wang Shiyun, the guardian deity of Yufeng Sect. Recently, it's my turn to go down the mountain and take care of the business of Qingxia Sect for ten years."

  Yu Feng, Cang Ye naturally knew. Among the thirty-two small peaks, it was one of the last few small peaks that could be counted on. And as for Wang Shi Yun's protector, he had never heard of him before. It seemed that he wasn't a very strong person after all.

  However, in order to save each other's face, Cang Ye still said the two words "I admire you".

  "Junior Brother Cang, compared to being on the mountain, you must be a charismatic figure admired by thousands of people. Unfortunately, Senior Brother came down from the mountain too early, otherwise he would have been able to recognize Junior Brother directly."

  This is also an apology for the disrespect shown earlier at Qingxia Building.

  However, as for these things, Cang Ye never really cared about them. If he hadn't helped him, this senior fellow named Xie Chunfeng would probably just be some ordinary passerby in his eyes.

  "Thanks for the compliment, it's true that I'm a bit of a legendary figure, but it's not quite right to say that I'm worshipped by tens of thousands of people." He replied with a slightly bitter tone.

  In fact, this is not his modesty, but the actual situation is like this.

  The entire Qingxia Mountain is probably thinking of teaching themselves a lesson, so it's not an exaggeration to say that they are a legendary figure. However, thinking about this, the beautiful image of Youling appeared in Cangye's mind again. Unconsciously, he also became a little distracted.

  Seeing Cang Ye's distracted expression, Xie Chunfeng naturally thought that Cang Ye was reminiscing about the "glory" on the mountain.

  He was only distracted for a moment and quickly pulled his thoughts back, probably only a martial artist could notice that he had been distracted.

  "Alright, Junior Brother Cang, I'll head back to the wine tower first. If anything happens, be sure to notify me! Don't say anything else, but in this Imperial City, my words still carry some weight!"

  It's not just a bit of weight, I'm afraid even ordinary princes and nobles wouldn't dare to provoke him!

  "I understand, thank you Brother Shifu. This kindness, I, your younger brother, will remember. If there's anything that needs help in the future, just look for me!"

  This is exactly what I've been waiting for!

  In a flurry of polite farewells, Xie Chunfeng led the warriors away from the Cang estate.

  After seeing off the crowd, the three of them returned to the hall and continued discussing topics that were not suitable for outsiders.

  "Father, mother, son and something else, I want to talk to you about it." Thinking that tomorrow will go to Yu Fu. Cang Ye also felt that the matter of Yu Ling should not be hidden from parents.

  "Oh? If there's something on your mind, just say it." Cang Yun heard his son speak with such a serious expression and was also slightly surprised.

  "Uh, it's like this..." and told them about Yu Ling's situation. Originally thought the two elders would be very happy, but found that their faces were filled with a hint of awkwardness.

  Her heart sank slightly, and she asked aloud.

  "Dad, what's wrong with this?"

  Sorted out my thoughts and thought about how to tell Cang Ye.

  "Son, from what you've said, that girl with the wings is indeed a rare gem and you two seem to have mutual understanding. This should be a good thing, but..."

  But after a long time, he still couldn't continue speaking. On the other hand, Shangguan Xia had no qualms about it since there were no outsiders present, so she directly took over the conversation.

  "It's like this, Ye Er, your father is worried that there will be no grandsons to hold in the future, so he has already found a fiancée for you."

  When he heard his mother's words, Cang Ye's eyes widened into circles.

  Is it just me who has declined so much? Even finding a wife requires parents' efforts?

  "Cough, that's it. But don't worry, girl. If this daughter-in-law doesn't work out, we'll get rid of her together tomorrow."

  She looked at her father with some surprise.

  In my memory, Father was not such a person. He promised someone something and then brushed it off with just one sentence. This is not like his usual style.

  When mentioning this future daughter-in-law, Shangguan Xia also rolled her eyes and explained the reason to Cang Ye.

  This daughter-in-law is the eldest lady of the Imperial Capital Wang family. She's also very beautiful and quite famous throughout the Imperial Capital. In the past, before the decline of the Cangyun clan, they had helped the Wang family in business, and the Wang family valued the wealth and power of the Cangyun family, so they were happy to marry their daughter into the Cang family. However, as things developed later on, the Cangyun family gradually declined, and the interactions between the Wang and Cang families became increasingly distant. Nowadays, there is no interaction at all, and the so-called engagement has become nothing but an empty promise.

  "Alas, this can't be blamed on others. To say the least, it's also our fault for delaying them." Shangguan Xia saw that they were always finding fault with the other party. Cangyun also said a few words in their defense.

  "Old master, you're always at home or busy with business, how do you know that Wang Mei is delaying things? This Wang Mei isn't a good thing, don't look at her still having an engagement with Ye Er. But she's still going to be however she wants to be. Even if we don't break off the engagement, I'm afraid they'll have to break it off anyway. A while ago, there were rumors that Wang Mei had gotten close to the 14th prince of the empire. I'm afraid news of her requesting to dissolve the engagement will come soon."

  Upon hearing this, Cang Yun slapped her hand heavily. Whoever it was, if they heard that their future daughter-in-law was being flirtatious with someone else, they wouldn't feel comfortable either.

  "Anyway, since it's like this, we haven't lost out either. This Wang Mei is indeed not worthy of our Yezi!"

  "Tonight, tomorrow I'll take you to call off this engagement and then we'll visit the Yu family together. To propose a marriage for you!"

  At the mention of marriage, Cang Ye's thick face also turned slightly red. No matter what, Yu Ling was his first girlfriend after all.
