Ye Kong reluctantly accepted the half immortal jade. After exchanging some pleasantries with Jing Quan and the others, he finally asked, "Back then, when Ye was still a child, I got to know your Wan Clan's Venerable Wan Xuan. Today, I would like to pay him a visit."
Li Wei smiled bitterly. "Senior Wan Xuan passed away more than thirty years ago."
"Ah." Ye Kong was startled when he heard that. However, after thinking about it, he understood. When he got to know Wan Xuan, Wan Xuan was stuck at mid-stage Foundation Establishment. After that, he never broke through again. After so many years, it was only natural for him to pass away.
Jing Quan and Ye Kong were already at a loss for words. He simply said, "Li Wei, bring Immortal Ye to Wan Xuan's grave to pay his respects."
Ye Kong and the others got up and bade farewell. They followed Li Wei to the Wan Clan's graveyard, found Venerable Wan Xuan's grave, and offered incense. The path of cultivation was like this. It was like thousands of people squeezing across a single-plank bridge. Only a few people could cross it, and most of them would fall off the bridge, forgotten in the dust of history like Wan Xuan.
Following that, someone called Wan Xuan's children over. Back then, Wan Xuan accepted Ye Kong's suggestion to stop cultivating. In the last few decades, he married and had children, enjoying the bliss of his family. He left behind a pair of twins in this world. It was said that their aptitudes were pretty good. They were the focus of the Wan Clan's next generation.
Ye Kong casually rewarded them with a few Grade 1 immortal pills. However, what puzzled Ye Kong was that no one mentioned Liu Ying. Logically speaking, Liu Ying was Wan Xuan's disciple. Shouldn't Liu Ying appear to pay his respects? Could she be in seclusion?
However, when Ye Kong and Liu Ying met for the last time, he felt that Liu Ying had fallen in love with someone else. Hence, Ye Kong didn't ask. After all, if Liu Ying married someone else, wouldn't he be eyeing someone else's wife?
After paying respects to Wan Xuan's grave, Li Wei invited Ye Kong and the others to his house. Ye Kong didn't refuse. When they arrived at Li Wei's house, they met Li Wei's dao companion, Ceng Ting.
Ye Kong and Ceng Ting also knew each other. When Ceng Ting and Liu Ying were captured by the Treasure Seeking Rat Demon Old Man Xun, it was Ye Kong who saved them. However, what made Ye Kong feel strange was that Ceng Ting was indifferent to him. She didn't treat him as her savior at all. It was as if he was her enemy.
Especially when everyone sat down to drink, Ceng Ting slammed the wine glass on the floor. Even Li Wei could not stand it any longer. He said angrily, "What are you doing? What has Immortal Ye done to us? Why are you behaving like this?"
Ceng Ting's eyes reddened as she said, "He didn't do us wrong, but I feel unfair for Junior Sister Liu!"
Ye Kong's heart trembled as he looked at her expression and words. He suddenly had an ominous premonition.
Li Wei said angrily, "Exalted Immortal Ye didn't do anything wrong to Junior Sister Liu. Don't you dare cause trouble!"
Ceng Ting loudly said, "He has wronged Liu Shimei. Junior Sister Liu would never marry for him, but he didn't even have the intention to ask! He has so many wives, so why can't he take Junior Sister Liu? He is now an immortal who has descended to the lower realm. Why can't he help Junior Sister Liu? He let Junior Sister Liu give up her life for a life bonded magic treasure! "
Junior Sister Liu would never marry for him … she gave up her life!
Ye Kong immediately fell back into his chair. In front of him was the little girl outside Huang Province City … Then, the scene changed to the dark and deep mine. The little female cultivator said, "Senior Li, my Martial Uncle is down there. I can't leave. Please help me send a letter to Wan Family City. This is 120 spirit stones, all of my savings. This is Senior's reward. Thank you again, Senior Li! " Then … in the stone coffin, the ambiguous actions of the two people in the darkness, and the unsentimental kiss of the silver corpse when it came to kill him …
Everything that had happened in the past appeared in front of his eyes. It seemed like it was yesterday, but it also seemed like a previous life. It would never come back.
Ye Kong thought that with his hundreds of years of life and his experience in the Upper and Lower Realms, he was mature enough, cold-blooded enough, and had seen through the world. He even thought that he was like the Bodhisattva in the temple, unable to cry. But at this moment, when he heard this news, he still let tears crawl up his face, blurring his vision.
Ye Kong said with tears in his eyes, "At that time, she was hesitant to say something. I thought she fell in love with someone else …"
Ceng Ting said angrily, "You bastard! She has liked you since she was saved by you in her teens. This is such a deep love, how can it be changed so easily? Do you use your brain, you bastard! "
Cao Junfeng and the others didn't know what was going on. They were all holding their wine glasses in a daze. Seeing his wife scold the immortal like this, Li Wei quickly interrupted, "Don't say anymore. Immortal Ye also misunderstood. We didn't make it clear at the time. Immortal Ye thought that Junior Sister Liu had a lover, so it wasn't good to ask. "
Ceng Ting was still angry. "Why not? Even if Junior Sister Liu is interested in someone else, Ye Kong, you just gave up like this? Can't you try harder? You want us women to chase you instead. You clearly don't take Junior Sister Liu seriously! "
When Ye Kong heard this, tears rolled down his cheeks. He nodded and said, "You should scold me. Yes, I am a bastard. I let Liu Ying down! I saved her, but I harmed her … I am a bastard! "
Ye Kong cried loudly at the table of Li Wei's house. He was filled with indescribable regret. If he had been more resolute, braver, and taken the initiative to figure it out, things wouldn't have turned out like this.
Ye Kong cried for a while before wiping his tears and asking, "How did she die?"
Li Wei began to tell the story. It turned out that when Liu Ying returned from White Brow City at the edge of the Primordial Wilderness, she began to cultivate hard. One had to know that the knot in Liu Ying's heart was that her cultivation was too low. Therefore, she cultivated extremely hard.
At that time, Ye Kong obtained a lot of things from killing Old Man Xun. He stored them in the Small Universe Realm and gave them to Liu Ying. Liu Ying sold them all in exchange for medicinal pills and went into seclusion to improve.
Hard work pays off. After cultivating so hard, Liu Ying finally came out of seclusion last year! She successfully broke through the Foundation Establishment Realm and entered the Gold Core Realm.
The little female cultivator Liu Ying was very happy that she had formed her Gold Core. The Wan family was also very happy. After all, it was rare for the Wan family to have a Gold Core Realm ancestor. Of course, many male cultivators wanted to become her Dao companions, but they were all rejected by Liu Ying.
Liu Ying thought that since she had formed her Gold Core, she should be qualified to be Brother Ye's maid. Therefore, she wanted to go to the Hunyuan Sect. However, this was the southernmost part of Cangnan, thousands of miles away from the Hunyuan Sect. It was very dangerous for a cultivator who had just formed her Gold Core to go so far.
Ceng Ting said that it would be safer if she went there after refining her natal magic weapon. Therefore, Liu Ying began to refine her magic weapon.
However, she used all the heavenly materials and earthly treasures that Ye Kong left for her to cultivate and didn't have much left. Finally, she decided to go to the nearby Hengduan Mountain Range to kill beasts and refine a natal immortal sword.
Although a Core Formation ancestor might not be invincible in the Hengduan Mountain Range, they should be able to protect themselves. However, she didn't expect that Liu Ying would encounter a strange beast called the Soul Luring Bat, which forcibly took away her soul.
After listening, Ye Kong stood up and said, "Hengduan Mountain Range, good. Soul Luring Beast, very good. Wait for Ye for a while! "
