"Ye Xuan, if you kill me, Ling'er will lose her husband and your nephew will lose his father. Could it be that you have the heart to watch Ling'er become a widow and die in depression?" Tuoba Liuyun said coldly.
Faced with Tuoba Liuyun's question, Ye Xuan remained silent. In fact, he had already thought of this outcome even before Tuoba Liuyun said it.
Looking at Ye Xuan's silence, a smug expression appeared on Tuoba Liuyun's face, as if his life was finally guaranteed.
"I will create an accident and nurture a peerless demon to slaughter innocent humans. I will even mold you into a great hero who will fight the demon in order to protect humans. The ending of the story will be that you perish together with the demon."
"Your son will worship you. Although Ling 'er will be sad, she will be proud to have such a heroic husband. Perhaps this is the best ending."
Ye Xuan seemed to be talking about a very casual matter, but when Tuoba Liuyun heard it, his expression changed drastically and he clenched his fists tightly.
"Ye Xuan, I've always heard that you're vicious and ruthless. Today, I see that you really live up to your reputation," Tuoba Liuyun hollered.
"Don't you understand that a man who is petty and ruthless is not a great man? Those who do great things don't bother about trifles. Don't you understand this logic?" Ye Xuan sighed.
"Actually, you should be glad that if you weren't Ling 'er's husband, I would have destroyed the Immortal Cultivation Alliance long ago and you wouldn't have survived until now."
Ye Xuan looked up at the sky and continued, "I can ignore the fact that you destroyed the Ye Family, and I can also not blame you for destroying the Underworld Residence because of the internal strife between Wu Juexian and the rest. However, Ye Ping is my brother after all, and Ling 'er's mother and I also died of depression because of Ye Ping's death. You have an unshirkable responsibility for this, so I have no choice but to send you on your way."
A spot of Allheaven Immortal Light appeared on Ye Xuan's fingertip and illuminated the void, as if he was going to kill Tuoba Yuntian in the next moment.
"Wait!"
Before Ye Xuan could do anything, Tuoba Yuntian spoke in a low voice.
"What else do you want to say?" Ye Xuan said calmly.
"Big Brother, there is nothing wrong with you wanting to kill me. However, I am still Ling 'er's husband. Can you let me see Ling' er and Nianxuan one last time before I die?" Tuoba Liuyun knelt in the air and kowtowed to Ye Xuan.
"Alright, I promise you." Ye Xuan was silent for a few breaths. The immortal light on his fingertip dissipated.
"Thank you for your help, Big Brother."
Tuoba Liuyun stood up calmly and transformed into a stream of light that shot towards the Tuoba family.
Ye Xuan was not afraid that Tuoba Yuntian would escape. After all, he was an Overarching Heaven Xuan Celestial. It would be a huge joke if he allowed a Heavenly Immortal to escape.
Moreover, Ye Xuan believed that Tuoba Yuntian wouldn't be so stupid as to run away because it would only hasten his death.
…
A crescent moon hung in the sky. Stars twinkled in the sky. Under the cover of the moon, two figures appeared in the sky above the Tuoba family.
In a quiet courtyard, a gentle breeze blew past, causing the willow trees in the courtyard to sway.
Under the willow tree, Ye Ling 'er was fiddling with two wooden puppets in her hands. Tuoba Nianxuan was cultivating sword control in the courtyard. Everything was peaceful and tranquil.
Ye Xuan stood in the air with his hands behind his back and said in a low voice, "You only have an hour. Go and bid farewell to her."
Tuoba Yuntian nodded. Without any hesitation, he appeared in the courtyard.
"Father!"
Tuoba Nianxuan cheered when his father appeared. He put away the sword in his hand and quickly ran towards Tuoba Yuntian.
"Husband, you're finally back. Where have you been for the past few days?" Ye Ling 'er seemed slightly reproachful, but she still quickly walked towards Tuoba Yuntian.
"Husband, what's wrong?"
When Ye Ling 'er saw Tuoba Yuntian's pale face, she was shocked. They had been husband and wife for hundreds of years, but she had never seen her husband like this. This made Ye Ling' er worried.
"I'm fine. It's just that I miss you and Nianxuan."
Tuoba Yuntian forced a smile and pulled Ye Ling 'er into his embrace. However, after being husband and wife for so many years, how could Ye Ling' er not feel the change in her husband's state of mind?
"Husband, did something happen? You can tell Ling 'er. Now that Big Brother is back, even if our Tuoba family is in trouble, as long as Big Brother is here, even the biggest problem can be solved," Ye Ling' er comforted.
"Big Brother?"
Tuoba Yuntian muttered to himself. His voice was filled with resentment. "Yes, there's nothing in this world that Big Brother can't solve. But why do you mention him every day after hundreds of years?"
"Ling 'er, could it be that in your heart, your husband, Nianxuan's father, I, Tuoba Yuntian, will never be able to compare to Ye Xuan?" When Tuoba Liuyun said this, he could no longer control his emotions. His voice became a little shrill.
"Husband, what's wrong with you?"
Ye Ling 'er held Tuoba Yuntian's cheeks with an anxious expression. She had never seen Tuoba Yuntian like this in the past hundreds of years.
"What's wrong with me?"
"Ever since the day we got married, you've been mentioning your Big Brother every day."
"Yes, he's invincible under the heavens. He's the one who created a new era. He's also known as the Divine King by all humans. He even stepped into the Overarching Heaven Xuan Immortal Realm after 500 years."
"But I'm your husband. Do you know that every time I see the worship in your eyes when you mention him? I keep telling myself that one day, I'll be able to replace his position in your heart. I, Tuoba Yuntian, will definitely surpass him."
Tuoba Yuntian seemed to be venting his anger. He had completely sunk into a paranoid mood. His voice echoed in the courtyard.
At this moment, Ye Ling 'er was scared silly by Tuoba Yuntian's appearance. She had never imagined that her husband would have so many paranoid thoughts.
Ye Xuan stood in the air. He was already regretting letting Tuoba Yuntian bid farewell to Ye Ling 'er. However, he couldn't appear in front of his little sister. He could only look at Tuoba Yuntian with a gloomy killing intent.
"Father, did uncle make you angry?" Tuoba Nianxuan asked carefully.
"Uncle?"
"Nianxuan, let me ask you. If your uncle wants to kill me, will you avenge me?" Tuoba Yuntian asked sinisterly.
Looking at his father's distorted face, Tuoba Nianxuan was afraid. He muttered, "Why would uncle want to kill father? Father, what's wrong with you?"
"Father is asking you another question," said Tuoba Yuntian.
"I will. No matter who wants to kill father, Nianxuan will not let them off," said Tuoba Nianxuan solemnly.
"Good, good, good. As expected of my son, Tuoba Yuntian." Tuoba Yuntian laughed loudly. It was as if he was comforted by his son.
