Mother and Son Meet
Who exactly wants to see me?
As he pushed open the door, Ye Zichen couldn't help but mutter to himself. It seemed he didn't have anyone on Xuan Ji's level in his social circle.
Zhao Qianhe?
It shouldn't be her!
Never mind the fact that she didn't have a particularly good impression of Ye Zichen, if she really wanted to see him, there was no need for her to avoid them.
Ye Zichen's heart filled with doubt as he pushed open the door.
"Zichen."
The instant he pushed open the door, he heard a trembling voice call out to him.
Ye Zichen instantly froze. His eyes trembled uncontrollably as he looked at the woman in plain clothes. Her eyes were filled with tenderness and love.
"Mom?"
Ye Zichen stared at her in a daze. His voice trembled as if he couldn't believe what he was seeing.
Caught off guard, the woman's eyes welled up with tears. She hugged Ye Zichen.
In terms of height, Ye Zichen had long since surpassed Ye Zichen.
Although she'd wanted to hold her son, in the end, she'd only held him in her arms.
Ye Zichen's lips quivered as he slowly reached out and hugged her.
"You're alright! That's wonderful!"
Even Xuan Ji and the Divine Generals by her side couldn't help but feel their hearts ache at the sight of this mother and son meeting.
They'd lived for far too long. Even cultivators didn't have immortal lifespans.
Cultivation only determined lifespan. One day, when one's lifespan came to an end and he couldn't break through, his life would come to an end.
When they saw this, they couldn't help but think of their loved ones. Unfortunately, they'd long since passed away.
Furthermore, the mustached man couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
Fortunately, he hadn't done anything to Ye Zichen. After all, this was the Lord of Seven Stars' son.
"Although I don't particularly want to interrupt this heartwarming scene, I still have to say, shouldn't we enter the courtyard and close the door? As soon as we open it, your aura will seep out. If Zhou Wu comes, I'm under his jurisdiction. It'll be difficult. "
Xuan Ji sighed helplessly. Ye Rong, who'd been lying in Ye Zichen's arms, got up and used her divine power to evaporate her tears. She steadied herself, nodded, and took Ye Zichen's hand.
"Let's enter the courtyard."
After the two of them entered the courtyard, the Divine Generals did not follow them into the courtyard.
The door to the courtyard was tightly shut once more. Before it closed, Xuan Ji left behind a few restrictions. Only then did she follow him into the courtyard, feeling at ease.
"It's been hard on you all these years. Look at you … you've lost weight."
Ye Rong held Ye Zichen's hand gently, her eyes filled with a mother's deep love for her son.
After entering the courtyard, Xuan Ji tactfully did not join in. She knew that now that mother and son had reunited, they would have many things to say. She walked alone to the pavilion to the side and sat down. She looked indifferently at the warm words in the distance.
Actually, Ye Zichen had a lot of things he wanted to say to Ye Rong, but when he saw that Ye Rong was fine, it was as if none of his words were important anymore.
He simply sat quietly by Ye Rong's side and chuckled.
After a full six hours, the conversation between the mother and son finally came to an end.
During this time, Ye Zichen told Ye Rong about his experiences. Of course, he intentionally left out some of the more dangerous parts, but as the Lord of Seven Stars, she knew everything.
Her gaze was still as affectionate as ever, and she gently rubbed Ye Zichen's head.
"Our Zichen has truly grown up."
Ye Zichen could sense the gratification in Ye Rong's voice. She looked at him lovingly, as if she couldn't get enough of him.
Ye Zichen smiled back. Xuan Ji, who had yet to disturb them, walked over.
"You should be done here, right?"
"Lady Providence." Ye Zichen nodded at her.
"You're still calling me Lady Providence? Didn't your mother just tell you about our relationship? You should be calling me 'Auntie' now, understand? "Xuan Ji laughed.
As a junior, it wasn't appropriate for Ye Zichen to ask about the relationship between elders.
Although he was astonished that his mother was with the head of the Profound Pavilion, and that they were so close, he didn't ask. Since his mother hadn't explained, he didn't press the issue.
In response, Ye Zichen glanced at Ye Rong. When he saw her nod at him, he respectfully greeted Xuan Ji.
"Auntie."
"Hey, good boy, Nephew." Xuan Ji giggled and patted Ye Zichen on the shoulder. "Taking in the Star Emperor as a nephew all of a sudden feels pretty good."
When she saw this, Ye Rong could only shake her head helplessly. She said nothing.
The Star Emperor.
It seemed Xuan Ji already knew about Ye Zichen's Emperor Star's appearance. However, given her abilities at divination, it wasn't surprising that she knew.
Besides, she was close to Ye Rong, so she most likely wouldn't leak this information.
Ye Zichen was in an exceptionally good mood this time around. Not only had he met his mother, but he'd also found Xuan Ji and accepted her as his auntie.
This was a powerful backer! In the future, wouldn't he be able to do whatever he wanted in the God Realm?
What kind of status did Xuan Ji have?
She was second only to the God Emperor, Zhou Wu. Although the other eight holy lands of the Divine Mountains weren't under the God Emperor's control, they were still his subjects on the surface.
Even those emperors had to give her some face when they saw her.
With a backer like her, Ye Zichen couldn't help but feel more confident. However, he still didn't know Ye Rong's identity. If he knew she was the Lord of Seven Stars, someone who stood above all others in the Saint Palace, someone who was in charge of countless galaxies, wouldn't he have to go to the heavens?
"Kid, you called me 'Auntie', so I won't let you call me that for nothing," said Xuan Ji calmly.
Ye Zichen was stunned. Could it be that she'd get something out of this?
Given her status and position, a gift from her had to be a divine artifact on the leaderboards, right?
Just as he was filled with anticipation, he saw Xuan Ji curl her finger at his forehead. Instantly, he felt as if something had been stripped from his sea of consciousness.
When he came back to his senses, he saw that the ten pieces of Soul Pearl Yiyuan, which had been protecting his soul and sea of consciousness, had been stripped away from his sea of consciousness. After leaving his sea of consciousness, the ten pieces of Soul Pearl Yiyuan were also looking around in confusion.
"You …." Ye Zichen arched his brows.
