In the human world, Ye Xuan had left his mother and sister for the sake of his own cultivation.
He had personally killed his childhood sweetheart, Xia Qingzhu, because he did not want his relationship to affect his cultivation.
He had even killed the Fairy of Moon Frost to overcome the second tribulation of the Heavenly Way.
However, the union between Ye Yaoyue and Li Youyun did not affect him at all. Ye Xuan was not a killing machine, so what reason did he have to kill this family of four for no reason?
Could it be that Ye Xuan had a hobby of killing his own family? Or was he just a pervert?
Ye Xuan was a person, a living person. Although he had abandoned many things on the path of cultivation, including his family and love, he was not an animal without intelligence. That was all.
… …
The lone moon hung high in the sky. The night was hazy, and the stars dotted the night sky. Strands of moonlight poured down, illuminating the entire courtyard.
In the courtyard.
Ye Xuan stood with his hands behind his back. Ye Yaoyue knelt in front of him. Her face was rather pale, and her heart was filled with anxiety and unease.
"Brother, I know I was wrong. I only ask that you show mercy and let You Yun and the child go. Yaoyue is willing to return to the Celestial Court with you," Ye Yaoyue said with a trembling voice.
"Yaoyue, are you very afraid of me?" Ye Xuan helped her up as a trace of self-mockery appeared on his face.
"I don't dare, but you need to give the Celestial Court an explanation. I also know that I've shamed the Celestial Court and you, so I'm willing to bear all the consequences. I only ask that you don't take your anger out on You Yun and the child," Ye Yaoyue said in a choked voice.
When a person stood at the peak, all that was left was loneliness. Whether it was the so-called family or friends, they would gradually drift away and look up to this person.
Now, Ye Xuan truly understood what it meant to be lonely at the top, because he could see the nervousness and reverence in Ye Yaoyue's eyes. She no longer had the admiration she had for him as a child.
"Heaven and Earth are vast, and the four seas are vast. From the Celestial Court to the Underworld, there is no need for me to account to anyone in the Three Realms of Heaven, Earth, and Man." Ye Xuan smiled faintly.
"Big brother, you …?"
Ye Yaoyue was already prepared to leave with Ye Xuan, but when she heard Ye Xuan's words, she froze on the spot.
"Since Li Youyun is the husband you chose, he is also my brother-in-law. The two children also call me uncle.
It doesn't matter if he is a mortal or an immortal, this is an indisputable fact! However, I really want to know if he is qualified to be your husband, so I will stay here and take a good look. "Ye Xuan said with a smile.
"Thank, thank you, big brother, for helping me."
The sudden surprise made Ye Yaoyue choke with sobs. She really didn't expect Ye Xuan to help her. This made her eyes overflow with tears of excitement. Her heart was filled with gratitude towards Ye Xuan.
"You and I are siblings, why do you need to thank me?" Ye Xuan said softly.
… …
Time passed day by day. In the blink of an eye, half a year had passed. In this half a year, Ye Xuan and Fatso Huang had completely settled down in Lotus Village. They even built a thatched cottage and lived next door to the family of four.
Rural life was peaceful and comfortable. It could be said that it was a good place to cultivate one's mind.
In this half a year, Li Youyun and Ye Xuan became more familiar with each other. Almost every day, Li Youyun would personally visit Ye Xuan and chat with him. He even called him big brother. The two children shuttled between the two thatched cottages every day. From time to time, they could hear bursts of laughter.
Ye Yaoyue was still a little worried. However, after half a year, no one from the Celestial Court came. Ye Xuan also didn't have any intention of bringing her back to the Celestial Court. This gradually made Ye Yaoyue feel relieved. Finally, a long-lost smile appeared on her face.
However, Fatso Huang was still worried. This was because he had never forgotten his bet with Ye Xuan. However, after half a year, Ye Xuan still hadn't made the slightest move.
However, in this half a year, the two children recognized Fatso Huang as their adoptive father. This made Fatso Huang dote on the two children even more when he was worried. It could be said that this made him feel both pain and joy.
Li Youyun was indeed a scholar. He came to visit Ye Xuan almost every day. He was just short of staying at Ye Xuan's place every day. He simply regarded Ye Xuan as a celestial being. He even forgot about his wife and children.
Li Youyun couldn't be blamed. After all, Ye Xuan had cultivated for almost two hundred thousand years. Whether it was medical divination, astrology, astronomy, or geography, it could be said that he knew everything. If Li Youyun had any questions, Ye Xuan would be able to answer them. This was simply unimaginable for Li Youyun. He completely regarded Ye Xuan as his teacher.
On this day, half a year later, in the thatched cottage.
"Elder Brother, in three days, Youyun will enter the capital to take the exam. When Youyun returns from the imperial examination, I will definitely not forget Elder Brother's kindness in teaching me for half a year." Li Youyun bowed three times to Ye Xuan and said.
"Youyun's talent is not shallow. He will definitely be able to pass the imperial examination. It just so happens that Elder Brother has nothing to do. Why don't I accompany A Worthy Younger Brother to the capital?" Ye Xuan said with a faint smile.
"Husband, aren't we living very well right now? The so-called scholarly honor is just a false reputation. Why don't we …" Ye Yaoyue was slightly tactful. Clearly, she didn't want Li Youyun to enter the capital to take the exam.
"Sigh."
Li Youyun sighed and said, "My wife, you are wrong. Although we scholars have no strength, we have a passionate heart to serve our country. Otherwise, if I, Li Youyun, didn't do anything after reading the books of the sages for so many years, wouldn't I have failed the teachings of the sages in the books?"
"This …?"
Ye Yao Yue didn't know what to say. She knew that Li You Yun had always wanted to be in the imperial examination, and even more, he wanted to bring happiness to the people. This was also his greatest wish. If she tried to stop him now, it would only make him unhappy.
If it was before, Ye Yaoyue would naturally support him. But now, her Elder Brother was here. Why would he care about the so-called scholarly honor of mortals?
"Youyun is right. A man should aspire to travel far. It is time for Youyun's ambitions to be realized. Elder Brother supports you." Ye Xuan smiled.
"Elder Brother understands me." Li Youyun laughed heartily. She truly viewed Ye Xuan as her lifelong confidant, and even viewed him as a teacher and a friend.
"Okay."
Although Ye Yaoyue was unwilling and felt that something was wrong, even Ye Xuan agreed. She didn't dare to object.
Like this, the matter was settled. Fatso Huang helplessly shook his head. He knew that the bet between him and Ye Xuan was about to truly begin.
Three days later!
Just as dawn broke, a carriage stopped outside Lotus Village. Under the gazes of Ye Yao Yue and the two children, Ye Xuan's group of three also boarded the carriage. Amidst the billowing dust, the carriage gradually disappeared into the distance.
"Husband, you have to come back safely." Ye Yaoyue bit her lips. There was a deep sorrow in her eyes.
