The Legendary Son-in-law of the Emperor

"Ye Xuan, you really fooled me, I misjudged you!" Yao Yueqing gritted her teeth, anger rising in her beautiful eyes.

Ye Xuan glanced at Yao Yueqing and said calmly, "You silly woman can't even take care of yourself, yet you expect others to clean up your mess."

Yao Yueqing was so angry that she stomped her feet.

Ye Xuan pointed to Gong Bozhong beside him and said to Yao Yueqing, "Tell me, what's the story with this guy?"

Yao Yueqing snorted lightly, her expression eased a bit but still somewhat displeased, "It's none of your business."

Ye Xuan remained calm, speaking slowly, "Fine, then kill everyone from the Shaking Light Ancient Sect."

Yao Yueqing's face changed slightly, she hurriedly said, "I'll handle this when I return to the Shaking Light Ancient Sect, don't kill them."

Although Gong Bozhong and his men wanted to kill her, she didn't want to deal with it here.

No matter what, these people were from the Shaking Light Ancient Sect; if they all died here, it would be hard for her to explain when she went back.

"Woman's compassion." Ye Xuan said leisurely, "Fine, let them return to the Shaking Light Ancient Sect to receive their punishment."

Regarding this matter, he was too lazy to say more.

Yao Yueqing, while talented, wasn't yet at the level truly to become part of his faction.

This time entering Dao Chu Ancient Land, Ye Xuan would create some opportunities for Yao Yueqing, and likewise, Ye Xuan would take what he wanted.

For now, it was simply a matter of interests.

Nothing more.

Whether Gong Bozhong and the others lived or died had nothing to do with him.

"Just go on your own." Yao Yueqing dismissed Gong Bozhong and the others.

After expressing their gratitude, Gong Bozhong and the others quickly left the courtyard.

If they truly returned to the Shaking Light Ancient Sect, they were not afraid.

Surviving was what mattered now.

After Gong Bozhong and the others left, Yao Yueqing caught up with Ye Xuan, walking side by side with him, with her hands behind her back, she whispered, "Ye Xuan, thank you."

"Thank me for what, they were your own enemies." Ye Xuan replied casually, hands in his pockets.

"You didn't have to concern yourself with my opinion..." Yao Yueqing said, a fleeting hint of sadness showing.

Ye Xuan stopped and said calmly, "Silly woman, I'm not interested in your story."

Yao Yueqing was initially stunned, then became angry, "Talking with you is really boring."

"Just leave, I have things to do." Ye Xuan waved his hand dismissively.

"You actually told me to leave?!" Yao Yueqing's face turned red with anger, disbelief written all over her fairy-like visage.

As a candidate for the Holy Daughter of the Shaking Light, she was exceptional in both appearance and skill, always the center of attention.

This awful Ye Xuan actually asked her to go away.

"Enough talk, is there anyone else here?" Ye Xuan shrugged.

"Fine, it's what you said." Yao Yueqing angrily turned to leave, cursing as she went, "I thought you were a good person, but you're just a big jerk, damn Ye Xuan, I'm never speaking to you again!"

Even after Yao Yueqing had walked quite a distance, her curses towards Ye Xuan could still be heard.

Ye Xuan maintained a calm demeanor, heading to the inner room.

The Qiankun Ancestor appeared like a ghost behind Ye Xuan, smiling broadly, "Master, it seems the young lady is secretly fond of you, your words really got her worked up."

Ye Xuan casually pulled a mat to sit on and calmly said, "You talk a bit too much."

Qiankun Ancestor grinned, "Are you worried about the lady boss? In this old servant's opinion, the lady boss definitely won't mind, aye!"

Before Qiankun Ancestor could finish his words, Ye Xuan kicked him away.

"Keep talking, and I'll stuff your mouth shut." Ye Xuan swore and cursed.

Qiankun Ancestor naturally knew Ye Xuan wasn't really angry, chuckled again, and retreated.

"Bring Zhang Qingfeng here." Ye Xuan waved his hand.

"Alrighty." Qiankun Ancestor trotted off merrily.

After Qiankun Ancestor left, Ye Xuan sat cross-legged on the mat, lost in thought.

He was fully aware of the situation with Yao Yueqing.

Put plainly, it was just a naïve young girl's emotions, not having had much deep interaction with other men, she felt moved by his actions today.

Simply put, if someone else did the same thing today, perhaps Yao Yueqing's heart would similarly stir.

With little experience, she thought it was her true feelings.

But Ye Xuan, having been through much, would not indulge in so-called love and affection.

He could never forget the situation with Changxi back then.

When the Emperor Soul awakened, he even decided not to touch love again.

Only he hadn't expected his Emperor Soul would awaken five years late. By the time it truly awakened at sixteen, he had already married Youwei and become a husband.

Memories with Youwei made him decide to take good care of this girl.

Having come this far, he planned to elevate Youwei to the peak and have her accompany him.

The feeling was completely different from that with Yao Yueqing.

"Hoo..."

Ye Xuan exhaled lightly, murmuring, "No more entanglement, entangled to the end."

This was the information revealed to him by the old guy at the Immortal Shop.

Just two choices, without any mention of the consequences of choosing.

To Ye Xuan, the choice itself held no meaning.

Because Ye Xuan didn't need to choose at all.

"I and Youwei were meant to be together, what nonsense is this entanglement."

Ye Xuan's lips curled slightly.

Knowing his identity was no issue, they might as well break through together in the future.

"Emperor Ye."

Just then, Zhang Qingfeng walked into the room.

"Sit." Ye Xuan nodded slightly.

The two sat facing each other.

Zhang Qingfeng awaited Ye Xuan to speak.

"Do you know how to leave?" Ye Xuan asked.

Zhang Qingfeng nodded slightly, "Cross Lantern Sea from Empty Ancient City, don't go through Broken Bone Cliff, and you'll be able to leave Dao Chu Ancient Land."

Having stayed in Empty Ancient City for 90,000 years, he certainly hadn't just been waiting idly.

"Once the younger ones have mostly received their opportunities, take them out of Dao Chu Ancient Land and return to Dragon Tiger Mountain." Ye Xuan spoke calmly.

Zhang Qingfeng hesitated for a moment, "Emperor Ye isn't coming with us?"

Ye Xuan shook his head, "I need to visit Dao Chu Cliff; no need to wait for me, besides Dragon Tiger Mountain might not be very peaceful at the moment."

Zhang Qingfeng's expression turned somber.

Ye Xuan continued calmly, "Anyway, remember what I said, after getting out, under no circumstances let yourself exceed Supreme level strength, otherwise not only will the world be affected, but you'll be suppressed too."

Zhang Qingfeng asked, "Double Emperors?"

Ye Xuan pointed his finger upwards.

Zhang Qingfeng's expression grew serious, nodding.

The suppressor wasn't the Double Emperors, but... the Heavens!

Ye Xuan spoke calmly, "The world thinks the reason for the decline of All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds is due to the Double Emperors reaching the absolute peak. They never consider how glorious the Emperor Era was, with Great Emperors stronger than the Double Emperors, yet it never declined, but shone brilliantly..."

Ultimately, it's all just a game.

————

Yao Yueqing left the courtyard alone, feeling somewhat aggrieved; she hadn't said anything, so why did that big jerk treat her like this.

She didn't understand.

"Clearly not very old, but speaks like an old fogey, really thinks he's some ancient monster, you're just a big jerk."

Yao Yueqing became more frustrated the more she thought about it.

After walking and cursing for a while, Yao Yueqing stopped suddenly, her face turning a bit pale, "What's wrong with me?"

"I... might have fallen for him?"

Yao Yueqing's face changed for a moment, she rubbed her beautiful face hard, muttering, "Yao Yueqing, don't be foolish, this guy doesn't seem like a good person, how can you like him..."

"But..."

"He saved me alone, respected my decision, apart from being a bit mean with his words, he doesn't seem that bad."

"Ah, forget it, there's no way I could like him, I might just have a better impression, he's still a big jerk."

"Big jerk, damn Ye Xuan!"

Yao Yueqing seemed to have resolved her thoughts, cursed fiercely twice, and stabilized her Dao Heart.

"Ye Xuan!"

At this moment, a voice sounded not far away, calling out for Ye Xuan.

Yao Yueqing saw a boy covered in array maps on the street, walking and calling 'Ye Xuan' anxiously.

"Isn't that Junior Array Emperor?" Yao Yueqing was surprised.
