War Sovereign Soaring The Heavens

Duan Ling Tian was stunned.

The green-clad young man and Ye Ying Cai were stunned as well as they stared at each other. It was as if time had frozen at this moment. Shortly afterward, Ye Ying Cai regained his senses. He looked at the young man and asked in a hoarse voice, “Who are you?”

The green-clad young man snapped back to his senses and replied, “Fu Qi.”

The green-clad young man and Ye Ying Cai strangely did not feel wary. It was as though they were not facing a stranger, but a family member.

Duan Ling Tian noticed the prying eyes in the surroundings. Some of them clearly recognized the green-clad young man as well. Hence, he said, “Should we find another place to continue the conversation? It’s rather inconvenient to talk on the streets.”

“Isn’t that Fu Qi, the prodigy from the Fu clan?”

“Hey, that white-clad young man looks exactly like Fu Qi!”

“Heavens! They look identical! Are they twins?”

“Twins? That makes sense. When Fu Qi’s mother, the Eldest Miss of the Fu clan, brought him back to the clan, no one knew who his father was. Perhaps, the twins were separated at birth due to their parents’ separation?”

The crowd in the surroundings slowly increased in size.

Ye Ying Cai and Fu Qi regained their senses after listening to Duan Ling Tian’s words. Then, they left with Duan Ling Tian and the young woman who brought Fu Qi here.

The young woman looked like she was in her twenties, but her real age was unknown. Women usually paid attention to their appearance after all. Once their cultivation bases reached a certain stage, they would usually maintain their youthful appearances.

Soon after, the group entered a private room of a restaurant.

Ye Ying Cai and Fu Qi continued staring at each other after sitting down at the table.

‘I should inform Elder Ye about this…’ Duan Ling Tian thought to himself. Through Zhen Ping Fan, he was privy to Ye Ying Cai’s past, after all. Previously, Zhen Ping Fan had even told him to keep Ye Ying Cai’s past a secret from Ye Ying Cai due to the promise the Pure Yang Sect made to the Alliance of Benevolence and Justice.

After sending a message to Ye Chen Feng, it took a while before Ye Chen Feng replied, “Do you think their twin brothers?”

“I can’t say for sure, but it’s possible that that’s the case. Elder Ye, if he’s really Ye Ying Cai’s twin brother…,” Duan Ling Tian replied. He did not dare to say for sure that Ye Ying Cai and Fu Qi were twin brothers since there were cases where unrelated people resembled each other. However, Ke’er also had a twin sister in her past life and current life. Hence, he felt that the likelihood that the two young men were related was rather high.

Duan Ling Tian sent a message to Ye Chen Feng and informed him of what had happened.

Ye Chen Feng remained silent for a moment and asked, “Do you think they might be twin brothers?”

“Just let things happen naturally,” Ye Chen Feng replied swiftly this time, “We can’t separate them now that they’ve met, right? It’ll make them even more suspicious. Moreover, even if we separate them, now that Ye Ying Cai’s curiosity has been aroused, he’ll find out the truth sooner or later unless we get rid of his twin brother.”

Duan Ling Tian also knew that at this point they could only let things happen naturally.

‘Why do I feel like Elder Ye isn’t very worried about Ye Ying Cai discovering his past?’ Duan Ling Tian thought to himself curiously, ‘Although Elder Zhen was the one who suggested resting in Snow Forest City, if I’m not mistaken, Elder Ye was the one who steered the flying ship in the direction of the city…’

For some reason, Duan Ling Tian felt that Ye Chen Feng had expected this and deliberately brought them here. After a moment, he sent a message to Zhen Ping Fan to confirm his suspicion.

Zhen Ping Fan replied, “In fact, it was Junior Uncle Ye who told me to suggest resting in Snow Forest City. I didn’t understand why at that time. It seems like it’s his plan to let Ye Ying Cai find out about his past. Since he said to let things happen naturally, just let it be. If I’m not mistaken, he likely hopes this will motivate Ye Ying Cai more. I just wonder why he suddenly came up with this idea…”

Zhen Ping Fan sounded curious as well.

…

At this moment, a dignified old man dressed in a fine robe was leaving a courtyard. He was the Clan Leader of the Xue clan, a rudimentary Emperor of Gods. He was just leaving after visiting Ye Chen Feng.

After the old man left, Ye Chen Feng returned to his room. His eyes flashed as he thought to himself, ‘The Ping Shen faction’s Yang Qian Ye improved tremendously after the death of his father. I wonder if Ye Ying Cai will be even more motivated after finding out about his past. Since neither I nor the Pure Yang Sect revealed his past, the Alliance of Benevolence and Justice won’t be able to accuse us of breaking our promise.’

Ye Chen Feng indeed had a hand in Ye Chen Feng meeting Fu Qi today.

In the past, after bringing Ye Ying Cai back to the Pure Yang Sect, he had investigated Ye Ying Cai’s background. He found out that Ye Ying Cai’s mother and his twin brother were alive, and he also found out the mother and son had returned to a lord-rank force in the Green Province Mansion’s Snow Forest City. Due to the promise made to the Alliance of Benevolence and Justice, he did not tell Ye Ying Cai the truth and also prohibited his direct disciple, Ye Tong, from disclosing the truth to Ye Ying Cai. However, when Ye Tong told him about Yang Qian Ye’s rapid improvement after the death of Yang Qian Ye’s father, he finally decided to let Ye Ying Cai discover the truth.

…

Duan Ling Tian remained quiet as Ye Ying Cai and Fu Qi spoke.

One was a proud prodigy of the Pure Yang Sect, the top emperor-rank force in the Eastern Ridge Mansion while the other was a direct descendant in a lord-rank clan in the Green Province’s Snow Forest City.

Fu Qi, who was raised by his mother in the Fu clan, had adopted his mother’s surname. He did not know anything about his father since his mother did not mention anything about his father at all. His mother had told him that he had a younger twin brother, but according to his mother, his younger twin brother had died. On the same day every year, his mother would only eat vegetarian dishes and wear mourning clothes in honor of his younger twin brother’s death anniversary.

“You had a younger twin brother?” Ye Ying Cai was shocked.

“They’ll likely meet Fu Qi’s mother next, right?’ Duan Ling Tian thought to himself as he watched silently from the side.

As expected, not long after this thought appeared in Duan Ling Tian’s mind, Fu Qi suggested that Ye Ying Cai meet his mother.

Ye Ying Cai naturally did not refuse.

As they were about to leave, the young woman who followed Fu Qi here greeted Duan Ling Tian. “Hello. What’s your name?”

“Duan Ling Tian. How should I address you, Miss?” Duan Ling Tian replied with a nod.

“My name is Fu Ya’er. Brother Fu Qi is my cousin,” the young woman replied with a sweet smile. Although she was not the most beautiful, she was still very attractive.

Fu Ya’er was outgoing and talkative. During their journey to the Fu clan’s estate, Duan Ling Tian discovered that Fu Ya’er had seen Ye Ying Cai and brought Fu Qi over to meet Ye Ying Cai.

Through Fu Ya’er, Duan Ling Tian also learned that the Fu clan had a good relationship with the Xue clan, the emperor-rank clan that ruled Snow Forest City. The Fu clan was affiliated with the Xue clan, and it was second only to the Xue clan in Snow Forest City. The Clan Leader of the Fu clan was Fu Ya’er’s senior uncle, and his wife’s grandfather was the Clan Leader of the Xue clan. Since the Clan Leader of the Xue clan had many male descendants, he doted on his granddaughter a lot.

As a lord-rank force, the Fu clan’s estate occupied a relatively spacious land in Snow Forest City. The entrance was rather grand, and guards lined both sides of the entrance.

“Miss Seventh, Young Master Fu Qi.”

The guards bowed and greeted Fu Qi and Fu Ya’er in unison.

After entering the Fu clan’s estate, Fu Qi led them to a courtyard.

“Mother.”

Fu Qi’s mother was an elegant and beautiful woman. She had a dignified air about her, and she must have been an outstanding cultivator back in the days. She did not seem to hear Fu Qi’s greeting as she looked at Ye Ying Cai in shock. Her voice trembled as she said, “Y-you…”

“Greetings, Madam.”

Ye Ying Cai felt his heart skip a beat when he saw the woman. He wondered if the woman was his mother and if he was truly Fu Qi’s younger twin brother who was said to have died. He had always thought he was an orphan, and he could not help but wonder if that was not the case.

‘The Alliance of Benevolence and Justice is going to gain a new enemy…’ Duan Ling Tian thought to himself. He could already imagine Ye Ying Cai’s reaction once Ye Ying Cai confirmed Fu Qi and the woman were his family members.
