Chapter 386: Father and Son

The blue skies above the expansive grassland were filled with clouds that stretched for miles, and there were two figures lying next to each other beneath the blue skies.

Ye Guan smiled and said, "If I could go back in time, I would have chosen not to acknowledge my family immediately after recognizing my true identity. If I had done that, yes, I would have had to live a difficult, lonesome life, but I wouldn't have been under so much pressure like right now."

Ye Guan shook his head and said, "I'm also convinced that the Eternal Sovereign isn't going to be my final enemy. Once he's dead, I'm sure I'll have to confront enemies more powerful than him. It really is exhausting."

"If you were to reincarnate and given the chance to choose a family, would you choose to reincarnate in an invincible family?" Cishu asked with a smile. smiled,

Ye Guan stared deeply at Cishu and asked back, "You recovered the majority, if not all, of your memories on that fateful day in that hot spring, right?"

Cishu didn't say anything in response.

"Without my powerful relatives, would you have allowed me to take you on that fateful day?" Ye Guan asked.

Cishu remained silent.

Ye Guan closed his eyes and sighed before saying, "Lady Cishu, you don’t have to pretend in front of me. I know very well who likes me and who is trying to make use of me. Still, I believe that Ba Wan truly liked me.

"As for you...you're not Ba Wan. You're Cishu."

Cishu finally opened her mouth to speak. "I finally understand why you like Cijing and Ba Wan so much. It's all because they've always treated you as Ye Guan rather than the King of the Guanxuan Universe."

Ye Guan smiled lightly and said, "I think I'm becoming a bit too spoiled. People can only dream of being in my shoes, yet here I am complaining about my life. Yeah, I think I'm a bit too ungrateful." This chapter was first shared on the Ñøv€lß1n platform.

Ye Guan took a deep breath before continuing. "Embarking on the path of cultivation leaves no room for retreat, only forward until reaching the peak. My goal is to reach the summit of cultivation. One day, I'll reach the same heights that my father and aunt have reached."

Ye Guan remained optimistic despite his challenging life and the immense pressure weighing down on him. He was well aware of his situation, which was why he had the tendency to vent his frustrations and grumble.

He then would continue to work hard after he was done venting.

If Ye Guan were asked why he was working so hard, then he would respond that it was all for the sake of his responsibility. Every single individual had their own responsibilities, and each one of them was working hard in their own way.

Ye Guan knew to be grateful and appreciative of his situation, knowing that there were people out there living a worse life than him. Ye Guan shook his head and smiled. "It's not like I never thought about just giving up and becoming a true nouveau riche."

"Why did you not do it, then?" Cishu asked curiously.

"It's not like I haven't totally done it. I can still slack off, but would life be really called life if I were to just slack off all the time? I also want to become even stronger than Cijing so I can protect her and help her deal with her matters rather than the other way around."

Cishu asked, "Do you like Cijing a lot?"

Ye Guan nodded.

"Oh..." Cishu looked down without saying anything.

Ye Guan stared intently at Cishu and said, "Lady Cishu, I don’t know how to make you happy, but I-I really want to see Ba Wan. Can you let me meet her?"

Cishu was quiet.

Ye Guan pleaded, "Please."

Cishu was silent for a while before smiling wryly. "Do you really want to meet Ba Wan?"

Ye Guan nodded.

Cishu said, "Then make me a meal!"

Ye Guan froze and went silent.

Cishu smiled and asked, "You can't do it?"

"I can," Ye Guan replied. His gaze landed on a flock of sheep in the distance.

After a while, Ye Guan found himself busy barbecuing some lamb. Soon, a golden brown chunk of lamb was sitting in front of him. Cultivators didn't have to eat to live, but quite a few cultivators had chosen not to forgo eating.

Ye Guan seasoned it before portioning it to Cishu.

Cishu looked at him before taking a bite. She chewed it briefly before swallowing. Her eyes flashed brightly, and she proceeded to wolf down the piece of meat as if she had been starving for a long time.

Ye Guan was all smiles. Cishu's manner of eating reminded him of Ba Wan. In addition, Ba Wan’s lips were always greasy with oil. He stood up and walked up to Cishu.

He then proceeded to use the hem of his clothes to wipe her lips and said gently, "Eat slowly. No one's going to steal your food."

Cishu put down the meat in her hands and looked at Ye Guan.

Ye Guan unconsciously took two steps backward, seemingly disturbed by Cishu's gaze.

He finally remembered that the young woman before him was Cishu, not Ba Wan.

Ye Guan felt awkward.

Cishu grinned and asked, "Do you want to meet Ba Wan?"

Ye Guan nodded.

"Close your eyes," Cishu said.

Left Councilor Feng Qi shook his head, "They went to go somewhere!"

"Is it the Milky Way?" asked Ye Guan with narrowed eyes.

Left Councilor Feng Qi nodded. "Yes."

Ye Guan turned around to leave.

Left Councilor Feng Qi cried out, "Young Master Ye, hold on!"

Ye Guan came to a halt and stared at Left Councilor Feng Qi.

"Bring them back, please," Left Councilor Feng Qi said.

Ye Guan’s eyes narrowed, and he asked, "What do you mean?"

Left Councilor Feng Qi shook his head, "Cirou gave me explicit instructions for the future of the True Universe, and it was really strange. I felt like she was going to do something drastic, which is why she did such a thing."

Ye Guan's pupils quivered ever so slightly.

Left Councilor Feng Qi stared deeply at Ye Guan and said, "I don't know what it is, but they're definitely going to do something. Additionally, she also left a will. Do you know what she wrote in it?"

Ye Guan shook his head.

Left Councilor Feng Qi's gaze flickered in a strange light as she said, "Three years later, the Divine Lord of the Divine Spirits will appear. Our True Universe must support the Divine Lord to the best of our abilities."

The Divine Lord... Ye Guan closed his eyes. He finally understood Cirou’s objective.

She wanted Ye Guan's son to inherit the True Universe! Once that happened, and if the Guanxuan Universe and the True Universe were to fight each other by then, wouldn't that mean that the father and son would fight to kill each other?

By then, Ye Guan's father and grandfather wouldn't necessarily stand on his side.

To make matters worse, Senior An might leave him as well for his son.

Ye Guan was furious. He really couldn't let his guard down around Cirou; she was going to be the death of him!

Ye Guan took a deep breath before turning around to leave.

Left Councilor Feng Qi continued. "Young Master Ye, Cirou wants me to tell you that even though she used you, she never had any intentions of hurting you..."

Ye Guan was silent for a while before he transformed into a sword light and vanished.

Left Councilor Feng Qi could only sigh.

...

Ye Guan returned to the Guanxuan Universe.

Mu Niannian stared deeply at Ye Guan and asked, "Are you going to the Milky Way?"

Ye Guan nodded. He was really anxious, as he had no idea what Cirou and Cishu were about to do.

Mu Niannian nodded and said, "It's time to visit the Milky Way, then. The Milky Way Sect is also part of your family's influence. Your elder sister has no intentions of inheriting the Milky Way Sect, and Yang Lianshuang also wants to retire.

"You should reclaim the Milky Way Sect once you get there."

Ye Guan was silent. He had zero interest in the Milky Way Sect. He just wanted to find Cishu and Cirou.

Mu Niannian said, "Go and bid farewell to Little Jia and the others!"

Ye Guan hesitated.

"They're your family, so you should talk to them yourself," Mu Niannian added before turning around to leave.

Ye Guan contemplated briefly before going to Nalan Jia's room.

Nalan Jia wrapped her arms around Ye Guan's waist and said, "Welcome back."

Ye Guan returned the gesture in kind and said, "Little Jia, I'm going to the Milky Way."

"Oh..." Nalan Jia muttered.

Ye Guan hesitated for quite a while. Eventually, he took a deep breath and said, "Little Jia, I want to tell you everything."

He eventually decided to tell her everything without lying.

He didn't want to lie to Nalan Jia.

"I—" Ye Guan started.

However, Nalan Jia shook her head and said, "You don’t have to tell me that."

Ye Guan said, "I have to—"

Nalan Jia lifted two fingers and placed them on his lips to shush him.

"I just want you to come back as soon as possible," Nalan Jia said with a smile. She then retrieved a storage ring and placed it in Ye Guan’s hands.

"I will manage the Guanxuan Academy and the Immortal Treasures Pavilion, so you don’t have to worry about them. Be careful once you're in the Milky Way. They went there to meet the True God.

"If she decides to bully you and you can't resist her, you should call for help. Don't force yourself to fight her. I... I actually don't want you to become invincible. I just want you to live well."
