Chapter 27: Have You Ever Seen a Peak Three-Layered Knife Intent in the Heavenly Phenomenon Realm?
“Hubby, Uncle, what’s going on?”
Seeing Ye Wushang and Yue Hai arrive, Yue Rushuang stood up and spoke.
Soon, she noticed Yue Hai’s condition and immediately realized that he had sustained some injuries.
Upon hearing Yue Rushuang’s question, Yue Hai awkwardly replied, “It’s nothing, just an internal injury caused by improper cultivation. Thankfully, your husband helped heal me, and I’m fine now.”
Not a single person present believed him, but Yue Rushuang tactfully didn’t press the matter.
The two exchanged pleasantries, and then Yue Hai stood up to leave.
He had come with Mu Xiyao, but when he left, he did so alone, appearing rather disheveled.
Yue Rushuang looked at his departing figure with a complicated expression, remaining silent for a long time.
They both understood that from the moment the Yue Family didn’t send anyone during Ye Family’s crisis, the relationship between the two families would never return to its former state.
Ye Wushang walked up and took her delicate hand in his. Seeing this, Yue Rushuang turned around and smiled gently, saying, “I’m fine!”
Ye Wushang nodded reassuringly. “If I remember correctly, your mother is still staying in Yue Family, right?”
Yue Rushuang nodded, her eyes darkening slightly as she thought of her mother.
She was an only child, and her father had passed away shortly after her birth.
Her mother had raised her single-handedly, and although her uncle was the head of the family, life was still tough without a male figure for support.
Fortunately, her talent blossomed later, and the family began to focus on them.
However, when she fell from a genius to a useless person, the way others looked at her changed as well.
“Don’t worry, I’ll find a way to bring your mother here so she can enjoy her twilight years!”
“Hubby!”
Upon hearing this, Yue Rushuang couldn’t help but feel a touch of emotion.
“Speaking of which, the two little ones have grown so much without ever meeting their grandmother!”
Ye Wushang smiled faintly, already having a plan in mind.
On the side, Mu Xiyao couldn’t stand the affectionate exchange between them any longer and spoke with irritation.
“You two have had enough! I really have to leave now!”
At this moment, Mu Xiyao no longer seemed as lofty as before. In front of Yue Rushuang, her true nature had started to show.
Hearing this, Yue Rushuang shyly pulled her hand away from Ye Wushang’s arm and then looked toward Mu Xiyao.
“Senior Sister, you just arrived, and we haven’t had the chance to catch up. Why are you leaving so soon?”
Mu Xiyao explained, “The Tri-annual Hidden Dragon Conference is about to begin. All the prodigies will gather there, and I’ll represent our sect. I need to focus on cultivating.”
“My master has foretold that a great era is coming. The prodigies of this time are like clouds and rain. This year’s Hidden Dragon List will be full of heavenly battles. Even the Purple Mansion experts won’t be guaranteed safety. This might be the year a Law Manifestation expert appears!”
“Hiss~!”
Upon hearing this, Yue Rushuang was stunned.
A Law Manifestation expert at the Hidden Dragon Conference? This was hard to believe!
Mu Xiyao continued, “I came this time not only to see you but also to bid farewell. After I leave, it’s likely we won’t meet for many years!”
Upon hearing this, Yue Rushuang felt a sudden sadness.
In the end, with reluctance in her eyes, Yue Rushuang watched as Mu Xiyao and the middle-aged man took off into the air, leaving the Ye Family.
After flying for a while, Mu Xiyao suddenly turned back, glancing toward Ye Family and seeing the two of them holding each other as they watched her depart.
Around them, Ye Zilan and Ye Zhixin, the two little ones, were blissfully playing, unaware of the situation.
This sight left Mu Xiyao greatly shaken. It was different from what she was used to seeing.
She couldn’t help but ask, “Uncle, do you think it’s really possible for someone to give up a glorious future for another person?”
The middle-aged man chuckled and replied, “The word ‘love’ has always been a difficult problem. Besides, everyone’s choices are different. She chose to marry Ye Wushang, and it may not be the wrong choice after all!”
“That guy? He’s two years younger than I and only at the Heavenly Phenomenon Realm. What future could there be following him? Even if he becomes a Law Manifestation expert in the future, he’ll only be dominant in a small kingdom like Great Xia. Besides, with Yue Rushuang, that’s not enough—he even took a concubine. I should have taught him a lesson before I left!”
Seeing Mu Xiyao’s anger rise as she mentioned Ye Wushang, the middle-aged man couldn’t help but smile wryly.
“Girl, you underestimate Ye Wushang. He’s not that simple. Have you ever seen a peak Three-Layered Knife Intent in the Heavenly Phenomenon Realm?”
Hearing this, Mu Xiyao’s entire body shuddered, and her eyes widened in shock.
“Three-Layered Knife Intent, is that true?” she asked, struggling to believe it.
The middle-aged man smiled faintly. “Do you think I could be wrong? And the Knife Intent around him is condensed, with an aura that’s subtle yet without any flaws. This shows his mastery of the Three-Layered Knife Intent is profound. In the next couple of years, he’s likely to break through to the Fourth Layer!”
“Hiss~~!”
Upon hearing this, Mu Xiyao couldn’t help but gasp, her beautiful eyes filled with shock.
Clearly, she had underestimated Ye Wushang.
Seeing her reaction, the middle-aged man spoke again. “That’s why you shouldn’t underestimate the powerful figures of this world. In times of great struggle, prodigies emerge like clouds and rain. No one knows what the future holds!”
Mu Xiyao nodded. “You’re right, Uncle. I was too shallow!”
The middle-aged man smiled in satisfaction.
Then, he no longer rushed forward but waved his hand.
In an instant, a massive crack appeared in front of them.
They both calmly stepped through the crack, which then sealed itself behind them.
At Ye Family, once they confirmed that Mu Xiyao had completely left, the couple finally withdrew their gazes.
“This parting, just as Senior Sister said, might be the last time we see her for many years.”
Yue Rushuang couldn’t help but sigh.
Indeed, in Mu Xiyao’s eyes, this separation meant they would probably go their separate ways.
Mu Xiyao would continue advancing, eventually becoming a prodigy at the peak.
As for Yue Rushuang, she might only ever be a common family matron, staying behind to care for her husband and children.
Ye Wushang, hearing this, smiled. “Don’t worry, it won’t be long. Trust me!”
Upon hearing this, Yue Rushuang couldn’t help but feel a glimmer of hope, thinking of Ye Wushang’s mysterious ways.
“I’ll leave it to you. Before the child is born, I want to break through to the Seventh Layer of Heavenly Phenomenon Realm!”
With that, she didn’t wait for Ye Wushang’s response and left.
Ye Wushang could only helplessly scratch his nose.
As time passed, after Yue Hai returned to the royal capital, he immediately went to meet Prince Fourteen!
