Chapter: 139

Huan Caiyi attentively listened to Yun Canghai's story as he carefully narrated everything that had happened after his seal, how he was unsealed, and what happened after.

A cold glint passed through Huan Caiyi's gaze when Yun Canghai mentioned the destruction or subversion of the Four Sacred Grounds by Yun Che.

"Did you kill Xuanyuan Wentian?" After Yun Canghai finished his explanation, which sounded like a fairy tale to both Huan Caiyi and Yun Qinghong, she looked towards Yun Che and inquired.

"No. He has my slave imprint now."

"This empress wants him dead." Huan Caiyi was straightforward with her desire. Her hatred for the Four Sacred Grounds could be set aside, but she would never forgive the initiator of everything, Xuanyuan Wentian.

"You can kill him if you want. I don't really have any problems with it." Yun Che shrugged, as if the matter of Xuanyuan Wentian's life and death had nothing to do with him. An amused grin appeared on his face as he looked towards Huan Caiyi. "But you are too weak to kill him right now. He has already entered the Divine Realm and is a full-fledged Divine Origin Realm cultivator, unlike you, who only has Half-Step Divine Realm Strength."

Xuanyuan Wentian had already reached the peak of the Sovereign Profound Realm and had been stuck in that realm for thousands of years. Once Yun Che opened all his entrances and helped him by etching the Profound Gathering Formation, he entered the Divine Realm in a mere two months.

Huan Caiyi's eyes narrowed.

"Did you help him?"

"I offered him a deal, and he accepted it." Yun Che nonchalantly replied. "I have already fulfilled my end of the deal, which was to help him enter the Divine Realm. And he did his part by becoming my slave."

Huan Caiyi nodded.

"This empress will kill him sooner or later."

"Do whatever you wish. As I've said, I do not particularly mind." Xuanyuan Wentian was one of many slaves he had. Though he was talented, it wasn't like he couldn't get another one in the future.

"... This empress will take her leave then." Huan Caiyi calmly replied and stood up. A small redness blossomed over her before she threw a small batch towards Yun Che. "This will allow you to enter this empress's private chambers."

"Oh my." A teasing smirk appeared on Yun Che's face, but Huan Caiyi had already vanished. She wasn't used to showing open intimacy, so just allowing him to enter her private chambers in front of Yun Canghai and Yun Qinghong was too much for her embarrassed self to take.

"Goddammit!" The moment Huan Caiyi left, Yun Canghai slapped his thigh, producing a loud slapping sound. "Brat! You even went for the Little Demon Empress? Even this old man doesn't have those massive balls."

"You are wrong. I did not go for her." Yun Che declined. "She pounced on your grandson like a beast. Your grandson is innocent here."

Temperature suddenly rose within the Royal Hall, evidence of Huan Caiyi still listening to their conversation.

The Golden Crow's powers were highly related to the emotions of the host.

Hence, the moment the temperature increased, Yun Canghai coughed loudly.

"Let's go. This old man is itching to visit the Yun Family!!"

Amidst all this, Yun Qinghong was still trying his best to understand what was going on. His mind had reset after the appearance of his son and his father, both of whom he had thought had probably died.

Everyone within the Yun Family still stayed within the arena with grave expressions, their hearts filled with unrest.

The destruction of the Duke Huai Palace and the undeniable power of Huan Caiyi was like a wake-up call to them.

Imagining their outcome if they joined hands with Duke Huai Palace sent shivers down their spines. If Yun Qinghong hadn't rejected the alliance, they would have been considered one of the targets for Huan Caiyi's anger.

"The Clan Head has returned!" A loud call instantly woke everyone.

They all looked and saw Yun Qinghong in the sky, followed by two people.

"C-Clan Head, y-your Profound Strength…!?" The Great Elder's eyes widened in disbelief before an excited expression bloomed over his face. "Your injuries have been healed!"

The main reason why the Great Elder wanted to remove Yun Xiao from the young patriarch position was not because he was an ambitious old man, but because he, like everyone else, believed that Yun Xiao was not the child of Yun Qinghong. And the only way for them to survive was to join hands with the Duke Huai Palace.

The return of Huan Caiyi and the destruction of the Duke Huai Palace made him weak in his legs. He never felt so glad to have someone refuse his decision before.

"Humph. I see you now, you care about me, Great Elder." Yun Qinghong looked at the Great Elder with a dissatisfied expression.

An embarrassed look appeared on the Great Elder's face.

"You should understand, Clan Head. This old man has always cared about your health. This time the matter was related to the destruction of our Yun Family. This old man had no other choice but to oppose you."

Yun Qinghong snorted. Of course, he also knew that the Great Elder wasn't targeting him due to ambitions. Otherwise, he had two decades to do it.

But he was still dissatisfied with his way of doing things.

"Forget it. Let's not dwell on what has happened already. I have an urgent matter to attend to. After I am done, I will explain everything that has happened within the Royal Palace."

"Urgent matter?" The Great Elder stopped the urge to say 'what is more urgent than the family" and looked towards the two people beside Yun Qinghong, both looking around curiously.

He felt as if he had seen the elderly man before somewhere, but he could not pinpoint where.

After receiving skills from Yun Che and training, Yun Canghai's age has reversed quite a bit after advancing in his cultivation.

He was already close to entering Half-Step Divine Realm. So it was no surprise that the Great Elder could not connect the current Canghai with the Demon King Canghai.

"Where is Xiao'er?"

"He should be within the Mistress's pavilion. After Clan Head left for the Royal Palace, Mistress's health had gotten worse. So she retreated to her pavilion with Yun Xiao guiding her."

"Do not let anyone disturb us." Yun Qinghong issued the order and hastily made his way towards Mu Yurou's private pavilion.

The maids outside greeted him, but he ignored them and excitedly entered the pavilion.

"Yurou, heaven has truly blessed us this time!"

Mu Yurou lay on her bed with a pale face and was stunned by the sudden excited shout of her husband.

She looked at her husband with difficulty and weakly smiled.

"What news can make you so happy, husband?" Suddenly, she noticed the healthy expression of her husband and her eyes widened. "You are healed?"

"Really?" The young man standing beside Mu Yurou looked towards Qinghong excitedly. "Father, are you really healed?!"

"Hahahaha! That's right. This Yun Qinghong is back!" Yun Qinghong laughed loudly before he looked at the pale expression of his wife; his heart suddenly ached. "But this is not the news I have brought to you—"

"Let me heal her first." Yun Che suddenly interrupted Yun Qinghong.

Yun Qinghong turned around and saw the frowned expression of his son as his reptile gaze stared at Mu Yurou with squinted eyes.

"Hm. I am afraid she won't be able to take the good news."

"Stop exaggerating. You are making this old man embarrassed." Yun Canghai rubbed the back of his head.

"..." Yun Qinghong wanted to say that the good news was the return of his son and not him, but he decided to remain silent. He didn't want his father to beat him just after returning.

As Yun Che walked closer to Mu Yurou, the young man appeared in front of him with a serious gaze.

"Are you the one who healed my father?"

"If there is no other person who claims to do so, then yes." Yun Che smiled amusedly, staring at Yun Xiao. His face suddenly turned awkward when Yun Xiao kneeled in front of him.

"You have my deepest gratitude, sir! I cannot express how much this means to me. If, in the future, you need my help, do not shy away from asking for it. Even if I have to give my life for it, I will—"

"Geez, dude, chill out. You are making me embarrassed now." No matter his thick skin, even Yun Che felt embarrassed by such heartfelt declarations… especially when the one saying it was a man.

"I didn't do it for gratitude." Yun Che shook his head and sighed. He raised Yun Xiao and patted him on the shoulder. "You will understand it soon, but as the son of the Yun Family Clan Head, you shouldn't be kneeling in front of others. It will leave a bad impression of your father on others."

Yun Xiao felt moved.

Such a kind-hearted person, he had never met anyone as kind-hearted as Yun Che before. Not only did he heal his father and was going to heal his mother, but he even cared about his father's reputation.

Yun Xiao never thought he would meet a saint like Yun Che in his life.

"Alright. Now step back. I don't like that expression at all. Gives me gay vibes."

"Huh?"

Yun Che pushed the confused Yun Xiao aside and walked closer to Mu Yurou.

He went down on one knee and smiled softly.

"Don't worry. It will be done in a second."

Mu Yurou didn't answer. She kept staring at Yun Che's face in silence. An unexplainable feeling as if she knew this person kept tugging at her heart. But no matter how much she searched her memories, she could not remember where she had met this man before.

It confused her.

"Alright. It's done." Mu Yurou blinked her eyes in confusion when her body was suddenly filled with a massive amount of vitality; it instantly healed her broken veins and eradicated the cold poison inside of her!

It was as if she was witnessing a miracle happening before her eyes!
