Ye Zichen was the ruler of several sacred lands of the God and Yao Realms and had millions of troops under his command.
The only person he feared in this world was his mother, Ye Rong, who stood before him.
Back in the God Emperor's tomb, Gu Luolin had mentioned her relationship with Ye Rong. At the time, Ye Zichen hadn't completely disbelieved her. He knew full well that his surname was Gu, and since he'd met Gu Zichen, he knew a bit about what had happened in Gu Zichen's realm.
However, the difference between the Modern Realm's Gu Family and the God Realm's Gu Family was simply too vast. It was hard to connect the two together.
Now, Ye Rong had appeared in the Gu Family.
It seemed she'd confirmed the fact that he was a member of the Gu Family.
"Big Sister Ye Rong!"
Gu Luolin giggled as she ran to Ye Rong's side. From the looks of it, her relationship with Ye Rong was very close, perhaps even more than that of her parents.
"Luolin's here too."
Gu Luolin gently patted her on the head, then nodded and smiled.
"Can't you see that your mother and father are here too?"
On the platform of the high tower, a low voice that was not particularly gentle could be heard. The smile on Gu Luolin's face, who had been smiling just a moment ago, suddenly disappeared. There was some nervousness and fear in her eyes as she looked over.
"Dad, Mom."
"Hmph, you left the family sub-dimension without my permission and risked your life to go to the God Emperor's tomb. You even risked your life to enter the God Emperor's Tomb. I really don't know if you still see me as your father. "
Gu Xuande's tone grew harsher and harsher. He'd been in a high position for so long, his body involuntarily emanated an oppressive aura.
The temperature on the platform plummeted and the air pressure rose.
Gu Luolin, who stood behind him, could only hang her head. She was no longer as lively and playful as before. Instead, she bit her lip in fear.
"I know I was wrong."
"Alright, alright. Luolin just got tired of staying in the clan and wanted to go out and see. Why did she have to be so angry?"
A gentle whisper and a blurry shadow appeared in the clouds.
From the figure, Gu Xuande could see her bend down and gently rub Gu Luolin's face. Then, her gentle voice rang out from the platform once more.
"It's good that Luolin's back safely. Next time you go out, you have to tell Mom, or I'll be really worried. It's good that you're fine. Go back to your room and play by yourself. Mom and I have some business to discuss with your Big Sister Rong and her son, Ye Zichen. "
"Mhmm!"
Gu Luolin didn't want to stay a second longer.
Her father always had a dark expression on his face when he saw her. She felt uncomfortable standing with him.
Since Qingli had asked her to leave, she would definitely not stay any longer.
After taking a few steps towards the gate of the tower, Gulin suddenly stopped.
"Mother, I have something to do …"
"Can we talk about it after I'm done?" Qingli smiled warmly.
Gu Luolin nodded, then disappeared into the clouds. Gu Xuande, who was still sitting with his back towards Ye Zichen, couldn't help but snort coldly.
Ye Zichen squinted at his surroundings, then saw a woman walk out of the clouds.
The woman was wearing a green silk dress, and from her appearance, she looked to be around 20 years old. Ye Zichen couldn't help but be stunned the moment he laid eyes on her.
Ye Zichen had seen his fair share of breathtakingly beautiful women. Zuo Mo, Xia Keke, and Su Yan were all devastatingly beautiful.
However, the woman in front of him was different. It was as if she had walked out of a painting.
Her every movement seemed to exude the aura of a fairy. Her skin was smooth, her eyebrows were seductive, and her long, black hair cascaded down her back like a waterfall.
Anyone who saw her would feel their heart skip a beat. However, her seductive eyes also contained a coldness that no one dared to look directly at.
"You must be Lil 'Rong's child," Gu Luolin smiled.
Ye Zichen felt very uncomfortable being called a child by such a young and beautiful woman, and her calling his mother Lil 'Rong.
However, even if he felt uncomfortable, he didn't dare to act rashly, because he knew very well that …
If there were no surprises, then the woman in front of him was one of the three half-step transcendence experts of the Gu race, and also Gu Luolin's mother, Qingli.
"Junior Ye Zichen greets senior."
"Ha …"
Qingli covered her mouth and laughed. That laugh caused the sun and moon to change color, and the flowers to droop.
"You're rather interesting, you actually called me senior. Your mother is standing here. She's a member of the Gu family. If we're going by seniority, shouldn't you be calling me grandma? "
…
Ye Zichen's expression darkened.
Is there something wrong with this family? Why did they suddenly start talking about seniority?
Even when Gu Luolin was around, she'd always emphasized her status as a senior. Qingli did the same. What was even worse was that she wanted him to call her grandma.
Although Ye Zichen knew that Qingli might be tens of thousands of years old, she really did look like she was in her early twenties.
However, she only looked like she was in her early twenties. Ye Zichen really couldn't bring himself to call someone like that "grandma".
"Hmph, even if Lil 'Rong is a member of the Gu race, that doesn't mean he has the right to enter. What right does he have to call us relatives?"
Suddenly, Gu Xuande snorted from within the clouds.
Soon after, a middle-aged man with bright eyes and a face as sharp as a knife walked out from the clouds on the platform.
He wore a purple robe, and his gait was as majestic as a dragon's or a tiger's.
As he walked over, the surrounding clouds instinctively parted for him. He walked directly in front of Ye Zichen and looked down at him condescendingly.
He hated that look!
What Ye Zichen hated the most was when people looked at him like that. It was as if he thought he was awesome and disdained everyone else, as if they were ants.
Ye Zichen couldn't indulge this sort of person. Without even thinking about it, he glared at him.
"You're Ye Zichen?"
"That's an interesting question. Didn't you already see me when we were outside the city? What's the point of asking again? When the time comes, you made me the number one person in all of history, and you even gave me such a generous gift as the Holy Dragon Divine Soul. I must thank you. "
With that, Ye Zichen bowed slightly to Gu Xuande to express his gratitude.
Gu Xuande's expression stiffened despite himself.
This kid really dared to say such things. If not for his status as a senior, Gu Xuande really would've slapped Ye Zichen to death.
But Ye Rong was here, so he couldn't argue with Ye Zichen. He forced down his anger and smiled.
"Breaking the city's signboard is your ability, and obtaining the dragon soul is your fate. This only proves that your luck and strength are first-rate. You fought for it yourself, so there's no need to thank me."
"Oh, I know that, but my mom's here, so I have to be polite. I have to be polite."
When Gu Xuande heard that, his expression stiffened. Qingli had long since suppressed her laughter. She looked at Ye Zichen and nodded repeatedly.
Before coming here, Ye Zichen had wanted to see Gu Xuande suffer.
Now that he'd fulfilled his wish, and Gu Xuande was still a half-step transcendent expert, Ye Zichen didn't dare act rashly.
