After Ye Futian left the Realm Palace, he returned to the mountain. The Sky River Great Elder was still cultivating, so he did not ask much.
The Grandmaster must have known about all this. If he did not say, then he would not ask.
He also returned to the cave residence to cultivate and continue to comprehend the Deed of Thorough Comprehension.
The next day, on the mountain path below, a very young and beautiful woman walked toward the mountain. She looked up at the mountain in front of her, and her heart was filled with emotion.
This woman was Xu Ping 'an.
Yesterday, the Uncle-Master left quickly after appearing, but it touched her heart greatly. The Uncle-Master asked her to go up the mountain, and she came.
Step by step, she walked up the mountain. There was an old man standing there, as if waiting for her.
The old man's hair was messy, and he looked very old. However, Xu Ping 'an knew that the person standing in front of her was the legendary old man who had been imprinted in her memory since she was born, but she had never seen him before.
Xu Ping 'an looked at the old man kneeling on the ground and bowed. "Disciple Xu Ping' an greets the Grandmaster."
"Get up." The old man had appeared in front of her at some point. He held her arm with both hands and helped her up. Xu Ping 'an looked at the kindness and gentleness in the old man's eyes, and her heart was filled with emotion.
His name had accompanied her all her life. Her parents had mentioned him countless times. They were both in Tianhe City, but this was the first time she had really met the Grandmaster. The strongest cultivator in Tianhe Realm, the Sky River Great Elder, was also her grandfather's teacher. He had trained her grandfather to be the strongest Sword Emperor in Tianhe Realm.
She wanted to go back and see what kind of era it was, and what kind of glorious past it was.
The Sky River Great Elder naturally knew of Xu Ping 'an. He had always known and seen her, but of course, not in person. He knew that his eldest disciple's descendant, Xu Haoran, had given birth to a daughter, and wanted to leave a trace of his eldest disciple's bloodline in the world.
In fact, Xu Haoran's name was also chosen by him. His father, the Noble Sword Emperor, was filled with righteousness, hence he chose this name. Back then, Ji Du had high hopes for Xu Haoran. However, the young genius was now white-haired and old. How sorrowful was this?
"I'm sorry for your family." The Sky River Great Elder sighed, and his voice was a little guilty. Xu Ping 'an bowed her head slightly. She was not qualified to comment on the affairs of the elders, but her parents had never resented her. All of this was her grandfather's own choice.
His father often said that even in this chaotic world, he still had to be a green lotus.
"I've been waiting for you, too," said the Sky River Great Elder.
"I've always wanted to meet Grandmaster, but my father has told me since young not to disturb Grandmaster's cultivation," Xu Pingan said.
"Your father is afraid of implicating me." Said the Sky River Great Elder with a smile. He knew better than anyone that although he had survived, he was still a sinner in the eyes of the Shen clan. This mountain was his prison, an invisible prison.
Xu Ping 'an also understood. She knew a lot of things.
"Grandmaster, Uncle-Master is back. He asked me to bring you a few words," Xu Pingan said.
Sky River Great Elder's arm trembled slightly. Although he had many disciples in the past, when Xu Ping 'an mentioned them, he knew who they were.
He had returned. In the end, he had still returned. Not long ago, Lord Taixuan had also sent his disciple here.
"Uncle-Master said that this disciple is unfilial and cannot come to see you," Xu Pingan said.
"He is indeed unfilial." The Sky River Great Elder looked into the distance.
"Uncle-Master also said that this disciple has accepted a few grand-disciples for you. Master, you have seen one of them, and he can only ask Master to take care of him."
The Sky River Great Elder did not speak. It seemed that he knew everything here, and he knew it very clearly.
The news that the Sky River Great Elder had accepted a successor had spread throughout Tianhe City. Since Qi Xuangang was here, how could he not know about it?
"Anything else?" asked the Sky River Great Elder.
Xu Ping 'an was silent for a moment, then said, "Uncle-Master said that there is one more thing. Grandmaster will understand his intentions after seeing me."
The Sky River Great Elder looked at Xu Ping 'an. Of course, he understood.
His disciple was indeed unfilial. Everything had been arranged clearly for him.
However, even without his instructions, wouldn't he know?
"Girl, you will stay on the mountain to cultivate in the future," said the Sky River Great Elder. "Bring your parents here as well."
Xu Ping 'an was stunned. She looked up at the Grandmaster and remembered what she had said before.
She had some doubts before. Why would he understand when he saw her?
Now she understood.
The third thing that the Uncle-Master asked was for the Grandmaster to take care of her …
Thinking of this, Xu Ping 'an's heart felt bitter, but it was also very warm. She had been sad all her life. Except for her parents, no one gave her this feeling. But now, both the Uncle-Master and the Grandmaster cared about her.
"Father said that I will go back after delivering the message." Xu Ping 'an bowed her head.
"If you can't bear to see your parents like this, then listen to your father," said the Sky River Great Elder. Xu Ping 'an clenched her fists, then nodded heavily. Obviously, she had made a decision in her heart.
"The Uncle-Master also asked me to deliver a few words to Uncle-Master," Xu Ping 'an said again.
The Sky River Great Elder nodded, and then Ye Futian, who was cultivating, heard his voice. Soon, he came over and saw Xu Ping 'an.
Ye Futian was a little confused. He didn't know who Xu Ping 'an was.
"This is Ping 'an, my eldest disciple, who is also the grandson of your Uncle-Master. Back then, your Uncle-Master was the first Sword Emperor of Tianhe Realm, but he fell in that battle. Ping' an's parents' cultivation was also destroyed, leaving Ping 'an to take care of them alone," said the Sky River Great Elder.
This short sentence made Ye Futian's heart tremble, and he was speechless for a moment. The Sky River Great Elder's few words seemed to outline a soul-stirring but extremely sad story.
Some of it was because of that battle, because of what happened to his master.
"Your master has also arrived. He went to see Ping 'an and asked her to bring a message to you," the Sky River Great Elder continued. Ye Futian's heart was stirred again. Master had also arrived?
Ye Futian looked at Xu Ping 'an. Xu Ping bowed slightly to Ye Futian and said, "Uncle-Master."
In terms of seniority, Xu Ping 'an naturally had to call Ye Futian Uncle-Master.
"Hmm," Ye Futian responded. When Master saw Ping 'an and the others, he must have deep feelings for them. Otherwise, he would not take such a risk. Back then, Master's eldest senior brother, the first Sword Emperor of Tianhe Realm, sacrificed his life for Master.
Teacher must be feeling guilty about this.
"Uncle-Master asked me to tell Uncle-Master, in the future, don't know him, and cultivate well. Don't forget the two words he gave you back then. No matter when, where, or what you face," Xu Ping 'an said.
Ye Futian's expression suddenly changed. These words gave him an extremely ominous premonition, as if he was making arrangements for his death.
As if noticing Ye Futian's expression, the Sky River Great Elder asked Ye Futian, "Which two words?"
"The heavens move vigorously, and a gentleman should constantly strive to improve himself." Ye Futian looked at the Grandmaster, and his expression was a little ugly.
"What about the second sentence?" the Sky River Great Elder asked.
"A gentleman does not stand on a collapsing wall," Ye Futian said. "Master's words are for me to completely cut off my relationship with him. No matter when, where, or what I face, I don't know him."
Hearing Ye Futian's words, the Sky River Great Elder was silent. Of course, he understood.
Ye Futian told him that Feixue had nothing to say now and could cultivate well. So, he had nothing to worry about?
In the end, he still came back.
"Grandmaster, what happened in the past? What does the Master want to do?" Ye Futian asked.
"There are some knots in the heart that can't be untied, and some things have to be faced sooner or later." The Sky River Great Elder looked at Ye Futian, and his cloudy eyes seemed unusually firm at the moment. He said, "So, I respect your Master's choice."
Ye Futian's face was a little pale, and he said, "Go back with Ping 'an and bring her parents here."
"Okay." Ye Futian nodded. He looked at Xu Ping 'an and said, "Let's go first."
"Mmm." Xu Ping 'an nodded and left with Ye Futian to pick up Xu Haoran and his wife.
In the old house, Ye Futian and Xu Ping 'an walked over.
"Father, mother." Xu Ping 'an called out, but no one responded. Ye Futian frowned and found that something was wrong. His figure flashed, and he went into the house.
Xu Ping 'an seemed to feel it too. Her expression changed, and her figure flashed and entered the old house. Ye Futian and Xu Ping' an's footsteps were stiff, and they could no longer move even half a step.
Xu Ping 'an's body was trembling, and her legs were also trembling. Looking at the two figures quietly leaning against the wall, tears continued to fall.
After what seemed like a long time, she walked to the side of the old man, knelt on both knees, and said, "Father, mother, why?"
In an instant, tears fell like rain.
Ye Futian also walked forward quietly and looked at the two old men. They were his senior brother and his wife, but they were so old. He suddenly felt a great pain in his heart.
What did the Master experience in the past? How much did he carry in his heart?
Xu Ping 'an lay on the bodies of the two old men, but Ye Futian saw a letter next to her. He squatted down. At this time, Xu Ping' an was so fragile, like a powerless girl.
"They left very peacefully, and they left you a letter," Ye Futian whispered. The two old men did not suffer and left peacefully.
Xu Ping 'an cried bitterly. She picked up the letter next to her, and her tears dripped on it.
"Ping 'an, don't be sad. If we didn't want to see you more, we would have left long ago. It's just that we can't bear to part with you. You will understand your Uncle-Master's meaning after going up the mountain. Although we know it's a little selfish, we still hope that you will stay with the Grandmaster. At least you won't be like us, unable to protect you when you are in danger, and even needing your protection."
There were many words in the letter, and they were all words of guilt. Chen Ping 'an read, and her tears fell uncontrollably. She had never complained about fate, never.
"Ping 'an, don't forget the words of your parents. Even if you are in a troubled world, you should still be like a green lotus. We can't see your future, but we hope that you will be safe for the rest of your life." At the end of the letter, the letter was soaked, and the handwriting was blurred.
Ye Futian felt bad in his heart. The Master left his hometown for Feixue. After Feixue's matter was resolved, the Master followed him. Now that he knew that the Master was bearing such a heavy burden, he knew his position in the Master's heart. It was a concern that could not be cut off, and he accompanied him to the Upper Worlds.
Ping 'an's parents were the same!
