Chapter 477: You Look a Bit Innocent
Ye Guan's eyes narrowed at the terrifying aura. The aura was way more powerful than a Great Destiny Sovereign.
A true supreme elite was here!
Ye Guan retreated to Ye Nanqing's side.
He realized that the goal of these Time Reversers was Ye Nanqing. The entire Eternal Night Empire was aware of their marriage, so they just had to kill Ye Nanqing to destroy Ye Guan's alliance with the Eternal Night Empire.
The spacetime behind the young man in white was torn apart, and a middle-aged man walked out of the spacetime rift. The young man in white's expression immediately changed upon seeing this middle-aged man. He hurriedly bowed toward the middle-aged man and greeted, "Senior Uncle Yue Chen!"
Yue Chen didn't pay any attention to the young man in white, but he looked down at Ye Guan with a smile.
"Ye Guan!"
Ye Guan looked up at Yue Chen without a word. The Past Clan had sent a true supreme elite, and there was more than just one of them. Ye Guan could feel the presence of quite a few terrifying auras lurking in the shadows.
Ye Jun's face turned grim. The Time Reversers' strength had far exceeded his expectations.
Yue Chen's gaze landed on Ye Jun. "Ye Jun, I'm here to ask you if your Eternal Night Clan really intends to cooperate with Ye Guan."
Ye Jun frowned and was about to speak when Yue Chen added, "The Time Reversers have no enmity with the Eternal Night Clan, and we don't want anything unpleasant to happen to the Eternal Night Empire. Hence, as long as you promise us not to join forces with Ye Guan and chase him out of your empire, we promise not to do anything to the Eternal Night Empire."
Ye Jun fell silent. To be honest, the offer was enticing. The Time Reversers were more terrifying than he thought, and the Past Clan's strength had to be even more unfathomable than the Time Reversers here.
Ye Jun also had no idea just how many supreme elites the Past Clan had. A single mistake could lead to irreversible consequences if Ye Jun were to get involved in the conflict between the Guanxuan Universe and the Time Reversers.
Ye Nanqing's voice echoed in Ye Jun's head: "If I were on their side and you chose to do our bidding, I would immediately annihilate the Eternal Night Empire once you've kicked Ye Guan out and offended the Guanxuan Universe. The reason they haven't done anything to us is not because they fear our strength but because they fear the Great Daoist Brush Master."
Ye Jun was enlightened. Oftentimes, those who would die the earliest were the ones sitting on the fence and insisted on staying neutral. Everyone on both sides would also despise people like them.
Ye Jun turned to look at Ye Guan.
Ye Guan smiled. "I'll respect your decision, Your Majesty Ye Jun."
Ye Jun hurriedly said, "Young Lord Ye, don't overthink it. You're going to get married to Nanqing tomorrow, so we'll become a family by then. It's only natural for family members to resist enemies together."
Ye Guan nodded lightly and went silent.
Then, Ye Jun looked at Yue Chen with a cold gaze and said, "My Eternal Night Empire will stand together with Young Lord Ye. If you want to attack us, please go ahead."
Ye Jun had just declared their stance.
Yue Chen smiled faintly. Instead of getting angry, he glanced at Ye Guan before turning around to leave. The powerful lurkers also vanished.
Ye Guan frowned. The Time Reversers would surely not let go of this matter so easily. They had chosen not to make a move, but they would surely go all-out the moment they made their move.
Ye Guan fell into deep contemplation.
"Young Lord Ye," Ye Jun suddenly said, "Do you have any objections to the wedding tomorrow?"
Ye Guan looked at Ye Jun.
Ye Jun lowered his voice and explained, "To be honest, there are many opposing voices even within the imperial palace; they do not wish to get involved in this war, so I'd need a legitimate reason to suppress those voices."
Ye Guan nodded slightly. "I have no objections at all."
Ye Jun nodded and glanced at Ye Nanqing before leaving.
Ye Guan looked at Ye Nanqing and said, "Lady Nanqing, I'll have to be with you all the time for your safety from now on."
Ye Nanqing replied, "Okay."
Ye Guan stared into the depths of the starry sky, seemingly thinking of something.
Ye Nanqing suddenly said, "Young Lord Ye, I heard that the goal of the Time Reversers is to unleash the Evil Dao, which means allowing the Universe Tribulation to erupt and destroy the myriad beings. Is that true?"
"What?" Ye Guan asked, "Are you going to believe me if I say that I'm doing all this for the myriad beings throughout the vast expanse?"
"Lady Nanqing, I have to admit that everyone in this world has their own vested interests. Truly selfless individuals are few and far between, but they exist. Take the True God, for example. The myriad beings would have perished long ago if she hadn't decided to suppress the Universe Tribulation."
"I can't guarantee anything, but I will try my best. If it doesn't work out, then like what the Great Daoist Brush Master said, we'll have to sacrifice everyone's cultivation and establish a new order so that the myriad beings can coexist with the vast expanse.
"Don't you think it's a better outcome than the eruption of the Universe Tribulation?"
Ye Nanqing sighed softly, unable to refute. She also thought that Ye Guan's perspective was acceptable.
Ye Guan smiled. "Well, there's no need to be so pessimistic. There are still a hundred years to go, and I might be able to come up with a solution before that.
"Let me tell you a secret as well. My father, my aunt, my grandfather, and another senior swordsman that I know are extremely powerful. When it comes down to it, I'll gather all of them and brainstorm with them for a solution. Who knows? Perhaps we can figure something out! Haha..."
Ye Guan's demeanor became sunnier as he spoke, seemingly filled with hope. His smile became brighter as well as he said, "Especially my aunt, she's really, really powerful."
Ye Nanqing smiled and said, "I hope it all works out."
Ye Guan nodded and said, "Lady Nanqing, my enemies are the Time Reversers, and I'm definitely going to need the help of the Eternal Night Empire against them. I know that you can be considered a mere pawn in the grand scheme of things—I don't think apologizing is a great idea, as that's just going to make me appear superficial.
"Anyway, I promise that I will try my best, and I'll make sure that you won't be harmed. I'm also going to help you as much as I can."
Ye Nanqing's eyes flashed in a complicated light as she said, "Young Lord Ye, you don't have to overthink it. This marriage alliance will also bring a ton of profit to my Eternal Night Clan, so you don't owe me anything at all."
"Lady Nanqing, I noticed that you don't seem particularly interested in becoming the empress. Why is that?" Ye Guan pointed out.
"I won't be able to live the life that I wish if I were to become the empress."
"That's true."
"However, it doesn't sound like a bad idea at all."
"Of course, you'll have absolute power in the empire once you become the empress, after all."
"If I were to become the empress, you would become my emperor consort. Do you know how that works?"
"How?"
"An emperor consort isn't allowed to live together with the empress. The empress will only invite the emperor consort to her quarters whenever she needs his service, and the empress can have up to 360 male concubines.
"Of course, their status is going to be far below an emperor consort, as an emperor consort is basically the ruler of the harem. In addition, an emperor consort is expected to look for handsome men to serve as male concubines for the empress..."
Ye Guan pondered over Ye Nanqing's remark briefly before saying, "Lady Nanqing, what you just told me is the custom that you have here. I don't have any objections, but can you wait until we part ways before you start looking for male concubines?"
"Why?"
"Our marriage is just a marriage of convenience, but we should still respect each other, don't you think so?"
Ye Nanqing stared quietly at Ye Guan.
Ye Guan asked, "Do you have a man that you like?"
Ye Nanqing blinked. "Yes."
Ye Guan immediately frowned and said, "Lady Nanqing, why didn't you say that earlier? I wouldn't have agreed to this marriage if you had just told me that you had someone you like."
Ye Guan had no intentions of becoming a third party.
"Young Lord Ye, you were raised in a free-range way, right?"
Ye Guan was surprised. "How did you know?"
"Because you look a bit innocent," Ye Nanqing replied.
Ye Guan had no idea what to say.
