As he hesitated and his hand was about to touch Elder Mo Sang, Su Ming walked over slowly. A ripple appeared in his eyes, which were as calm as water. It instantly turned into a cold glare that looked like the surface of a lake reflected by the moon. He cast a faint glance at the Sovereign of Dawn Yan Pei.
He stopped moving and looked at Mo Sang. A gentle look appeared in his eyes, as if he had forgotten his status and level of cultivation. He was still a child from Dark Mountain, a child who laughed and chatted happily beside their elder … Su Ming wrapped his fist in his palm and bowed deeply.
He bowed to his elder, to Dark Mountain, and to Su Ming's loyalty to his friends.
"I am Su Ming of Dark Mountain. Greetings, elder …"
The Sovereign of Dawn Yan Pei's extended hand came to an abrupt halt at that instant. His expression immediately changed, and he was completely stunned. Su Ming's act of bowing and his words continuously appeared in his mind, but he soon registered what was going on. A monstrous wave of anger and killing intent instantly turned into a roar that rushed into his head.
"Damn you, Su Xuan Yi, you … you set me up!"
At that moment, the Sovereign of Dawn Yan Pei no longer had any principles in his mind. He had also cast aside his moral principles. Instead, he hated Su Xuan Yi to the core. To him, it did not matter whether Su Xuan Yi had done it on purpose or not, he had still set him up and placed him in a near-death situation. This old monster, who he could not even avoid in time, instantly stood against him.
He refused to believe that Su Xuan Yi truly did not know just how terrifying Su Ming was. In fact, in Yan Pei's eyes, Su Xuan Yi must have known that Su Ming would come today and dragged him to kill Su Ming's elder so that he could bind him to his side.
'Damn it, damn it … Thank goodness I didn't kill him.'
Almost at the instant the Sovereign of Dawn Yan Pei registered what was going on, with his powerful level of cultivation and the reflexes he possessed as a Sovereign of Dawn, the hand he had extended towards Elder Mo Sang froze. Then, without any hesitation, he immediately pushed towards the elder.
However, he did not grab Elder Mo Sang. He merely supported him gently, and there seemed to be a great sense of respect in his voice. It caused the threads of time binding Elder Mo Sang's body to instantly shatter. When they disappeared without a sound, the Sovereign of Dawn Yan Pei supported his elder with his right hand, and a gentle smile appeared on his face. There was even a hint of respect in that smile.
"What I admire the most in my life are heroes like you, fellow Daoist. You know that your level of cultivation is not high, but you can give up everything for your family. This sort of person must be respected!
This is kinship, this is kinship. This is exactly the same as me. I also have this kind of personality. I couldn't bear to see Fellow Daoist be captured, so I interfered. I definitely couldn't let such a person die in front of me. I made a move to save Fellow Daoist!
"Fellow Daoist, I did not say it clearly before and even joked with you because I am a guest invited by Su Xuan Yi. I might not be familiar with this person, but since he invited me with great kindness, I came despite my reluctance, but since I was able to meet someone like you here, this trip was worth it!
"That joke was also to test whether you are truly a hero. Right now, I am certain … that you should not mind what I said just now. Someone like you, please accept my bow." Yan Pei's expression was incredibly sincere, and he spoke as if he was telling the truth. As he spoke, he took a few steps back, wrapped his fist in his palm, and bowed deeply towards Mo Sang.
Mo Sang was stunned. When a barely noticeable glint shone in his eyes, the Sovereign of Dawn Yan Pei lifted his head and stared coldly at Su Xuan Yi, who was frowning and had a slightly surprised expression on his face.
"Fellow Daoist Su, I didn't expect that you would be this sort of person!"
"Yan Pei, Chen …" Su Xuan Yi's pupils shrank. Yan Pei's expression had changed so quickly that Su Xuan Yi's heart suddenly let out a thump. Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by the Sovereign of Dawn Yan Pei's shout.
"You disappoint me too much. Your daughter doesn't want to marry anyone else, so why did you leave so many seals on her? Not only did you seal her thoughts, you also sealed her soul. You treat your own family like this, and it's practically an act of flattery. You disappoint me, and I'm ashamed to be associated with you!
"Just treat it as me meddling in other people's business. I have long since been unable to continue watching this, and I can no longer tolerate it!" As he spoke, the Sovereign of Dawn Yan Pei successfully replaced Su Ming's limelight and became the center of attention. He lifted his right hand and pointed at Yu Xuan. Immediately, the bell he had given her started trembling on its own. When it collided with the bell, it let out a series of clear tinkling sounds.
Every single time those sounds echoed in the air, Yu Xuan's expression would show struggle. Fog gradually filled her eyes, and it looked as if it was swiftly swept away by the wind. Slowly, clarity returned to her. When the bells stopped ringing, Yu Xuan shuddered. All the seals in her body disappeared, and she completely regained her senses.
When Yan Pei saw this, he let out a sigh of relief in his heart. Fortunately, he had given her the bell. Because of it, everything could be explained, and no one would be able to find any obvious clues. He should not have provoked that terrifying old monster too much.
As Yu Xuan's expression became clear and her body shuddered slightly, she remembered many things. No matter what, Yan Pei was a Sovereign of Dawn. When he took action, he had not just wiped away the seals that had been placed on Yu Xuan's body over the past few days. He had also wiped away the seals that had been in Yu Xuan's body for many years, causing Yu Xuan's mind to feel as if it had been in a daze for an unknown number of years.
With just one glance, she saw Su Ming, who was watching everything around him with a ghost of a smile on his face. She could no longer avert her gaze. It turned into tears and blurred the world, but there was one figure in that world, and it was a figure that she could remember clearly no matter how many cycles of life and death he had gone through.
The memories of her childhood rose in her mind. The thin and frail boy lying quietly on the ground was her older brother. He was not her family, but he was more like family than anyone else. They grew up together and accompanied each other every day. Her older brother, who could not speak and could not open his eyes, was the family she cherished the most in her memories.
She remembered that she had accompanied him, telling him about the blue sky, the darkness of the night, her own cultivation, her grievances, and the future …
She held his hand, causing the cold hand to slowly gain warmth. During that period of time, she was very happy. Even though her daily training was very difficult and she was always bullied and mocked by others, she was still strong. She wanted to protect her older brother for the rest of his life.
Then, one day, she was taken away. She still remembered the last time she looked at him before she was taken away. At that time, he was still lying on the ground, unmoving, unable to open his eyes, unable to open his mouth. On that day … she cried.
The person who took her away told her that as long as she was obedient, he would wake up one day. That was why she chose to be obedient and chose to leave. That departure … lasted for nearly her entire life.
That period of time seemed to have been far too long ago, so long that her memories became blurry. In fact, it did not seem like she wanted it to be blurry, but for some unknown reason, she had completely forgotten about the past.
She became a direct descendant of a family in the Emperor of Abyss' True World. She had her father, her mother, and her family. During that period of time, she was very happy, but every single time when it was late at night, she would have a feeling that she had forgotten the most important person in her life.
But no matter how hard she tried, she could not remember who it was. She would often dream of a back, a back that was so indistinct that she could not see it clearly …
On the day her mother died, she watched her mother gradually close her eyes with tears falling from her eyes. During that instant, her mother opened her eyes, and before she died, she looked at Yu Xuan with pity and reluctance to part with her in a profound manner. She looked as if she wanted to say something, but in the end, she only said one sentence.
"Xuan is a type of daylily. You are the grass in the rain … I hope that you will be happy for the rest of your life and not be sad …"
Yu Xuan had been muddle-headed at that time, and she had always thought that she understood it, but only at that moment did she understand the profound meaning contained within those words …
Perhaps it was because of the figure in her dreams, or perhaps it was because no matter how strong the seal was, it could not seal the thoughts in her memories. Before the wedding, she fled. She did not know where she wanted to go, but for some strange reason … she returned to True Morning Dao World.
She also remembered that when she fled and captured the Abyss Dragon, she seemed to have seen a vague figure, but when she turned her head around, she did not see it. At that moment, she understood that it was her father's figure. He had been standing not too far away and watching her quietly. He had watched her leave into the distance, as if he was sending her off with a reluctance to part with her.
During the days Su Xuan Yi had been in isolation, Yu Xuan had come to True Morning Dao World. She had searched for a feeling that even she could not clearly sense, and she had returned to … Yin Death Vortex, where she had been born!
She had been able to become entangled with Su Ming the moment she saw him without feeling any sense of unfamiliarity. This was not due to her personality, but because her sealed memories had been infected by the presence of her life.
What she did not know was that once she appeared in front of Su Ming, the voice calling him big brother in his dreams gradually disappeared.
She remembered everything. All her memories from the moment she was born rose in her mind at that instant. As the seal disappeared, Yu Xuan stared at Su Ming in a daze, and tears that had lasted for thousands of years fell from the corners of her eyes.
"I am Yu Xuan, the daylily in the rain. My father is the second God of Berserkers. My home is in the Berserkers' Lands …" Yu Xuan mumbled. She lifted her head, and when she looked at Su Ming again, she bit her lip and whispered a sentence that had echoed in Su Ming's dreams for many years.
"Big brother …"
Su Ming approached her. There was no power in Arid Triad Expanse Cosmos that could stop him. When Yu Xuan lifted her head, Su Ming had already arrived in front of her. He gently pulled the crying Yu Xuan into his arms.
"I promised you that one day, I would come and find you. That day is now." Su Ming caressed Yu Xuan's long hair. When he spoke, he lifted his head and looked at the silent third prince. Their gazes met, and Su Ming saw the complicated look on the third prince's face, while Lei Chen saw the sentimental look in Su Ming's eyes.
