Realms In The Firmament
chapter-1140

No matter which side Ye Nantian chose, he would betray the other…

He kept thinking about it, yet couldn't think of a proper way. The only thing he could do was to make a sigh.

To fulfill the responsibility for one side, yet violate the other… What a damn twister!

…

Ye Xiao rushed to the door like a whirlwind. He saw the woman that he hadn't seen for a long time.

She was wearing white clothes, just like she used to wear. She was tall, standing straight, frosty, and clean. There was a small white flower on her hairs.

She was vigorously standing right outside the door of Ye Clan, but it was more like she didn't belong to the moral world!

It seemed nothing in this stodgy world had anything to do with her.

Her eyes looked loosened and indifferent as if there was nothing in the world that could lit up her eyes again.

That white flower… was a sign of her in mourning!

Ye Xiao was shocked.

[Jun Yinglian!]

[Lian Lian!]

[You look well! You are right here!]

At this moment, he felt like all the oceans were waving in his heart. He looked at the lady and suddenly forgot what to say to her.

Jun Yinglian blandly looked at Ye Xiao and frowned.

[What is wrong with this Ye Clan people?]

[I have told them who I am. Their chief doesn't come to greet, but at least they should send an elder! How could they just send a kid to me? That is arrogant!]

[You don't want to show me enough respect. Fine. I am here to deliver a message after all. I don't want to do anything related to Ye Clan people. But that kid… He stared at me just like that… It is rude. He needs some lessons of manner.]

[How can he stare at a lady like that?]

[That is…]

She frowned and blandly said, "Where is your chief?"

She wasn't swellheaded. She was the former Prime Master of Sky Ice Palace, also a peak level Dao Origin Stage cultivator. She was a person that Ye Clan people weren't even qualified to look at. The way she talked was showing enough respect to the clan already!

If Ye Shuxin were still the chief, he would definitely be shocked, flattered, scared, and blank!

However, Ye Xiao didn't seem to make any response, as if he didn't hear her.

Ye Xiao's mind was occupied with the words he said to Jun Yinglian.

[I regret that I let you be solitary. If there is a next life, I promise I will accompany you to travel the world.]

It was the first time they finally looked into each other's eyes.

[Lian Lian…]

[Do you know how regretful I am?]

[Do you know how much I think I was an idiot and a prick? Why would I let go of your hand? I was such an animal!]

[Do you know… that my longing for you has soured my heart?]

He felt his throat was choked. He couldn't say a word.

Jun Yinglian's eyes were turning distant.

The Ye Clan Chief didn't show up for her, but allowed a young man to stare at her like that!

All women would be mad and felt humiliated when they were stared rudely by a man.

This woman here was Jun Yinglian, a dominant cultivator of the world!

At this moment, Ye Nantian finally walked out slowly, "Fairy Jun, I am Ye Nantian, Chief of Ye Clan. I am late. Please accept my apology. It has been a long time."

Jun Yinglian nodded and blandly said, "It is quite a long time. Things are quite different now. Who is this guy?"

She sounded indifferent, but apparently was denouncing Ye Xiao's impolite behavior!

Ye Nantian smiled and said, "This is my son, Ye Xiao. The last time we met, he wasn't born into the world yet. Speaking of my son, you have done us a great favor in keeping this son of ours. You gave him his name… He has always been admiring to you…"

What an experienced man!

He realized his son had done something wrong just by one sight, so he tried to start a different topic.

In fact, he was anxious. [Holy hell. Why is he staring at Fairy Jun in the same way as I stared at his mother back in the old days… Is he falling in love with her?]

[That would be totally f*cked up…]

[Jun Yinglian has a beautiful face… It is reasonable that he likes her. But… their ages, backgrounds, cultivation… That is a huge gap!]

[He is never going to reach her!]

[Moreover, everybody in Qing-Yun Realm knew that Jun Yinglian only loves Xiao Monarch. Even though Xiao Monarch is dead, she still claimed to be a widow because of him. She is now going on an operation to take revenge for him!]

[My son is Ye Xiao, but not that Ye Xiao. If she knows his thought, she will definitely kill him without hesitation… That would be a tragedy…]

In fact, Ye Nantian didn't want Ye Xiao to go after Jun Yinglian. Jun Yinglian had saved Ye Nantian and his wife, so she also saved Ye Xiao too. She even told them to name the kid Ye Xiao, so that the name of Xiao Monarch might protect him in some way. Now that Xiao Monarch was dead, and if Ye Nantian's son lay his greedy hand on his savior, then his son must be a nasty monster!

Ye Nantian made up his mind that he would force his son to give up the idea. His son could never do such an inhuman thing!

Well, he had no idea that his son had done that 'inhuman thing' a long time before. However, it wasn't quite as filthy as it looked like when he did it!

Jun Yinglian heard that the young man was Ye Nantian's son, so she frowned and suppressed the anger in her heart. She blandly said, "I went to Qiong-Hua Palace, and saw Yue Gongxue."

Ye Nantian was thrilled. Hurriedly he asked, "How is she?"

Jun Yinglian took a deep breath and said, "She… She is not so good… She asked me to deliver a message to her son."

Then she stopped.

She turned to Ye Xiao and looked at him with complex thoughts in her mind.

Ye Xiao murmured, "What is it?"

Jun Yinglian stayed quiet for a while and then said, "Your mother says… that she only wants you to live well… She misses you. She doesn't have anything valuable, so there is nothing she can give you… The world is dangerous, and you must take good care of yourself. Be good. She is fine in the palace. She gets everything she needs. She doesn't want you to worry about her…"

Jun Yinglian was retelling it, so she sounded bland and cold.

However, Ye Nantian and Ye Xiao had heard lots of emotions from those words!

It was the sincere hope of a mother!

And the struggle of her!
