In the Ye Family's courtyard.
It was early in the morning and the sound of martial arts training could be heard from the Ye Family's courtyard. In the center of the courtyard, Ye Ping and Ye Ling 'er were practicing with each other, surrounded by many martial artists.
"Second Brother, your Eagle Claw Technique is really powerful," Ye Ling 'er said with a smile.
"Little sister, don't praise me. You haven't used your True Jade Sword Technique yet. Otherwise, I wouldn't be your opponent," Ye Ping said with a bitter smile.
"Ah, if only Big Brother was here. With his martial arts, he would definitely teach us a lot of powerful things." Ye Ling 'er sighed.
"Okay, little sister, Big Brother's cultivation is peerless. He will definitely be fine. He will come back sooner or later," Ye Ping 'an comforted.
"Ling 'er, it's time to eat."
Mrs. Ye walked out of the inner hall and was calling for her son and daughter. She also let the siblings quickly enter the inner hall.
"Father, Mother, Grandfather."
As the siblings entered the inner hall, they greeted them one by one, making the father and son of the Ye Family look relieved. They hurriedly asked the siblings to sit down and eat.
A year was enough to change a lot of things. Clearly, the meticulous care of the father and son of the Ye Family in the past year had also caused some things to change greatly.
"Ah, if only Ye Xuan was here. Then, our family would be really reunited." Ye Canghai sighed.
At the mention of Ye Xuan, a trace of sadness flashed across Mrs. Ye's eyes, and Ye Canghao's expression was also complicated. In the end, he sighed helplessly.
Breakfast was in progress. The food was luxurious and exquisite, and there were several servants serving around.
"Ling 'er, you have been practicing martial arts every day. You should eat more." Ye Canghai picked up a piece of fish and placed it in Ye Ling' er's bowl, smiling dotingly.
"Thank you, Grandfather," Ye Ling 'er said obediently.
"Qiuyun, your body isn't well. You should eat more." Ye Canghai said softly. Mother Ye nodded but didn't say anything.
The breakfast was passed with a strong sense of kinship, and there were even sounds of laughter from time to time.
"Ah!"
All of a sudden!
A voice sounded, and two figures quietly appeared in the inner hall, making the faces of the martial artists guarding the Ye Family change.
"Audacious! Who dares to trespass into the Ye Clan?" Before they could do anything, a cry of surprise rang out from Ye Ling 'er's mouth.
"Big brother?"
"Xuan … Xuan 'er?"
"Ye Xuan?"
In the inner hall, the father and son of the Ye Family stood up in surprise. Mother Ye and the others were even more excited. They quickly walked towards Ye Xuan.
Ye Xuan's expression was calm as he silently watched the scene before him. A trace of self-mockery flashed across his eyes.
"Mom, it looks like you've already forgiven the Ye family," Ye Xuan said softly.
Ye Xuan's words stunned Mama Ye. How could she not know what Ye Xuan was thinking? This also made Mama Ye's expression extremely complicated.
"Big Brother, you haven't been at home for the past year. It's all thanks to Grandpa and Father's care that Little Sister and Mother's health recovered so quickly. Besides, Grandpa and Father already know their mistakes. Let's just let bygones be bygones," Ye Ping comforted in a trembling voice.
"Let bygones be bygones?"
Ye Xuan looked deeply at Mama Ye. His voice was calm as he said, "Mom, do you still remember how much you've suffered in the past ten years? Do you really intend to forgive them?"
"Xuan 'er, I …" Mama Ye's expression was complicated, and she didn't know what to say. After a full ten breaths, Mama Ye smiled sadly and said, "Xuan 'er, I know you have hatred in your heart, but Ling' er and Ping 'er are still young. Ye Cang Hao is their biological father after all, I …" At this point, Mama Ye couldn't continue.
"Big Brother, let's be happy as a family. Let's forget those unhappy things of the past," Ye Ling 'er interrupted at the right time.
"Shut up."
Suddenly, Ye Xuan's expression was cold as he roared at Ye Ling 'er. This also made Ye Ling' er bite her lips tightly, and tears appeared in her eyes. This was because she had never seen Ye Xuan get angry at her. This also made her feel extremely unfamiliar with Ye Xuan.
"Mom, do you still remember?"
Ye Xuan took a deep breath, and then slowly exhaled. His voice was even calmer as he said, "When I was five years old, you dragged me and my little brother and sister out of the Ye Clan. That day, it was snowy and cold. It was you who told me that from then on, I would never have any contact with the Ye Clan."
"When I was fourteen years old, I was suffering from a terminal illness and was bedridden. It was this so-called Ye Cang Hao who sent someone to bring me a letter, telling me to fend for myself. At that time, you were heartbroken and weeping helplessly. Do you still remember?" Ye Xuan's fists were clenched, but he was smiling. However, his smile was full of bitterness.
"I … I know I was wrong." Ye Cang Hao's face was bitter, and even his voice was trembling. Ye Canghai was stunned speechless. He never thought that his son would be so heartless. This also made Ye Canghai finally understand why Ye Xuan had never forgiven him and his son.
Bang!
Suddenly!
Under the shocked gazes of everyone, Ye Xuan knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times to his mother. This also made Mother Ye look at Ye Xuan in a daze. A line of clear tears slowly flowed from her eyes, as if she felt that something extremely important was leaving her.
"Mom, you gave birth to me and raised me. In this lifetime, Ye Xuan will never be able to repay you. However, today, your son will have to say goodbye to you and pursue the endless Tongtian path of immortality. From now on, you and I may never see each other again. Your son has let you down in this lifetime, so I will kowtow to you here."
Ye Xuan kowtowed eighteen times in a row, then suddenly stood up and looked at Ye Xuan and Ye Xuan. His voice was calm as he said, "As a son, I cannot be filial to my mother. This is my life's greatest regret. If one day I find out that you did not treat my mother well, I, Ye Xuan, will exterminate your entire Ye Clan and never reincarnate."
After saying this, Ye Xuan deeply imprinted his mother's face into his mind. Then, he abruptly turned around and strode out of the Ye Clan's residence.
"Xuan 'er!"
Mother Ye's sobbing voice suddenly came from behind Ye Xuan. It also made Ye Xuan's footsteps stop. However, he forced himself not to turn around. Only a lonely and bleak voice came from his mouth.
"Mom, I'm sorry. In the end, I don't belong to this mortal world. I really have to pursue the Tongtian path of immortality!"
Ye Xuan's figure gradually disappeared into the distance. Gu Beichen silently followed behind him until the two of them disappeared from the Ye Clan's residence. It was as if they had never appeared in the Ye Clan's residence!
…
In the bustling city, the clamor of the people could not drown out the sadness in Ye Xuan's heart.
Actually, Mother Ye and the rest did not know that Ye Xuan had returned to the Ye Clan today to bring Mother Ye and the rest back to Jiangnan. Ye Xuan had already thought it through. As a son, he had to be filial to his mother. It was just a short hundred years, so he could still afford to wait.
However, when he saw the Ye Clan's father and son, Mother Ye, and Little Sister happily eating breakfast, he finally understood something.
