The father and son of the Ye family, his younger siblings, and of course, Ye Xuan's mother. When they could sit together and have breakfast together, this was a complete family. Even though he had never forgiven the father and son of the Ye family, familial ties were something that could not be changed. This made his mother and sister forgive the Ye family.
It was also at that moment that Ye Xuan finally understood. Actually, wasn't this good?
Although he had not been by his mother's side for a year, his younger siblings were filial to his mother, and the father and son of the Ye family were even more caring. His mother could also live a happy life.
Perhaps, the only regret was that Ye Xuan could not be by his mother's side and be filial to her!
This was not only Mother Ye's sorrow, but also Ye Xuan's regret.
At this moment, Ye Xuan could not help but think of a saying, "There is no way to have it both ways in this world."
This sentence fully explained Ye Xuan's current situation.
His heart was like heaven and earth, and all rivers flowed into the sea. Ye Xuan smiled. He was truly freed from his familial ties. Perhaps this was the best outcome for him.
The Tongtian Dao was right in front of him. He had completely let go of himself. From now on, he would be like a fish in the vast sea and a bird in the sky. The fetters of familial ties no longer existed. He would advance step by step until he stepped into the Nine Heavens and looked down on all life.
"Ye Xuan, you're indeed more ruthless than me. You can even give up on your family. I have to say I'm impressed." Gu Beichen sneered.
Smack!
A willow whip whizzed down and directly whipped Gu Beichen to the ground, causing him to groan.
"You need to call me Mr. Ye, not my real name. If there's a next time, I'll let you have a taste of what it means to be separated from one's bones and tendons." Ye Xuan smiled slightly, causing Gu Beichen to glare hatefully at him. Then, he quickly got up from the ground and did not say another word.
…
Wu An Agency, meeting room.
Ye Xuan sat at the head of the table while Ye Xuan stood behind him. Fatso Huang excitedly reported to Ye Xuan about the Underworld's development over the past year.
"Sir, all of the Grim Reaper's personal guards have stepped into the Innate Realm, while the other three groups have already left for various parts of the world. Just the peripheral members of the Mansion of the Dead alone already number 30,000 people in the world."
"Very good. You did well." Ye Xuan nodded slowly.
After receiving Ye Xuan's praise, Fatso Huang smiled obsequiously. He glanced at Gu Beichen from the corner of his eye and said, "Since this little brother is following you, I'm sure you're not an ordinary person. May I know your name?"
"Hmph!"
Gu Beichen scoffed coldly. He was extremely disdainful of Fatso Huang's fawning attitude towards Ye Xuan. Naturally, he could not be bothered with this person.
"Beichen, from now on, you will listen to Fatso Huang. You will do whatever he wants you to do. Do you hear me?" Ye Xuan said softly.
"What?"
Upon hearing Ye Xuan's words, Gu Beichen's expression changed. He said, "Mr. Ye, are you mistaken? This damn Fatso is only at the Innate Realm. Why should I listen to him?"
"Ha!"
Ye Xuan laughed coldly and said, "Do you believe that even if he's at the Innate Realm, killing you will be as easy as flipping his hand?"
"Him?"
Gu Beichen laughed contemptuously. He did not take Fatso Huang seriously at all. After all, he had undergone three months of hellish training. He was no longer the weak youth of the past.
"Fatso Huang, it's up to you whether you can make this kid listen to you or not." Ye Xuan laughed mockingly.
"Aiya, Mr. Ye, don't make fun of me. How can I be a match for this little brother? You really think too highly of me."
Fatso Huang kept bowing to Ye Xuan and praising Gu Beichen. His extremely humble attitude made the contempt in Gu Beichen's eyes thicken. However, he did not realize that Fatso Huang was secretly taking three steps closer to him.
"Little brother, you will be my big brother in the future. As long as you command, I will definitely obey."
At this moment, Fatso Huang had already arrived in front of Gu Beichen. He even bowed respectfully. The fawning smile on his face was reflected in Gu Beichen's eyes.
"That's enough. Someone like you …"
Suddenly, without waiting for Gu Beichen to finish speaking, Fatso Huang was still smiling fawningly. However, a blue dagger had appeared in his hand out of nowhere. Before Gu Beichen could react, the dagger was suddenly pressed against his throat.
"This dagger is made from century-old cold iron. The blade is smeared with the world's most poisonous poison. If I cut your skin a little, you will die tragically on the spot. Do you believe me?"
Fatso Huang's fawning smile was no longer there. His face was filled with viciousness and malevolence. This made Gu Beichen's expression change drastically. He was completely stunned and speechless.
"Arrogant and conceited at such a young age. Today, I am the one who attacked you. If it were an outsider, wouldn't they have died in the other party's hands?" Fatso Huang slowly withdrew his dagger and said coldly.
"You … shameless … You … This was a sneak attack." Facing Fatso Huang's reprimand, Gu Beichen roared indignantly.
"Idiot. In this world, the winner takes all. Only the living are strong. Who would care about a dead person?" Fatso Huang sneered disdainfully and retreated to Ye Xuan's side.
"Gu Beichen, remember this. Unless you have invincible power that can crush all schemes, the human heart is the most terrifying thing. Don't look down on any small fry. Perhaps it is these small fry that can make you die a horrible death."
"Although you have broken through to the Innate Stage, you still have a lot to learn. I believe that Fatso Huang can help you understand this world. Follow him. Only when you have learned all of Fatso Huang's abilities can you truly be of use to me."
Ye Xuan said coldly and waved his hand, instructing Fatso Huang to take Gu Beichen away. At this moment, the various team leaders of the Wu 'an Department were already walking towards the meeting room.
"Mr. Ye, you're finally back." Tian Yu had just stepped into the meeting room when he hurriedly bowed to Ye Xuan.
The other team leaders did not dare to slight Ye Xuan as well. They all knew how terrifying Ye Xuan was. How could they not be respectful towards him?
"Tell me what happened in the past year." Ye Xuan said softly.
"Mr. Ye, in the year that you disappeared …"
Following Tian Yu's narration, Ye Xuan finally understood the situation in the outside world.
Firstly, there was an outbreak of mutated beasts all over the world. The Blood Souls were ruthlessly devouring humans. This was especially so in the Western countries. In the East, other than Xia Country, which was still relatively peaceful, the other neighboring countries were also having a hard time because of the Blood Soul mutated beasts.
In the midst of Tian Yu's narration, Ye Xuan also heard of something. A Japanese martial artist had already arrived in Xia Country. He was even challenging famous martial artists all over the country. But after a series of challenges, no one was a match for him.
This Japanese martial artist was currently rushing towards the capital. Sword God Ye Lingtian had even accepted his challenge. The two of them were about to engage in a world-shattering battle in the capital. And this battle was being watched by the entire world.
"Don't mention such trivial matters. I'm not interested in knowing." Without waiting for Tian Yu to continue, Ye Xuan waved his hand and interrupted him.
"You mentioned that some mysterious forces have suddenly appeared all over the world. Do you have any leads on these forces?" Ye Xuan asked curiously.
"Mr. Ye, according to the intelligence, there are extremely mysterious forces spreading among the people all over the world. These forces' roots are unknown, but they keep absorbing mortals and even teach them some cultivation methods. Coincidentally, I happened to obtain a basic cultivation method. Please take a look, Mr. Ye."
As Tian Yu spoke, he handed a book over to Ye Xuan, allowing Ye Xuan to flip through it casually.
After a full ten breaths of time, when Ye Xuan closed the book, his expression gradually became strange. This was because he'd discovered something extremely interesting.
