Realms In The Firmament

Yue Shuang and Yue Han didn’t hesitate. They walked into Ye Clan’s house, following Ye Xiao.

Ye Nantian was shocked and stood numbly for a while.

He had never thought that his son would invite the two killing gods into their house by just a few words.

More importantly, he felt that the pace, the conversation, the situation development, and the possibility of what would happen… seemed to be under Ye Xiao’s expectation…

Ye Xiao was unnoticeably taking charge of the entire situation.

It brought a strange balance to the two sides. It seemed the balance would only last for a while, but that was long enough under such circumstances!

Moreover, when he met Ye Xiao again in the Kingdom of Chen that day, he realized his son had become a smart, intelligent, and cautious man. He figured that as Ye Xiao showed up all of a sudden, he must have a plan with all the moves afterward! Ye Xiao might be able to save the situation!

”Father, you can just wait outside with our people.” Ye Xiao, who was leading the way, suddenly turned around, looked at Ye Nantian, and said, ”The two ladies are here for me. Let me talk to them in private. I will put an end to the problem between the two sides.”

Ye Nantian believed in Ye Xiao, but he was still worried. He asked, ”Will you be okay?”

Ye Xiao smiled and spoke calmly, ”They have the knife, and I am the meat on the plate. If they want to do something to me or Ye Clan, father, do you think we can stop them? It will only be a meaningless sacrifice of lives! We don’t fear death, but we shouldn’t die for nothing. You understand me, don’t you?”

Ye Nantian made a long sigh to the sky and helplessly said, ”Fine!” Then he continued, ”Xiao Xiao, remember, no matter what happens, Ye Clan never surrenders! We would rather all die with dignity!”

He looked determined in the eyes. After the words, he turned around and led the other people back to the inner yard of the house.

However, what he said at the end touched Ye Xiao’s heart.

[My clan is not a powerful one!]

[My father is not an influential person!]

[But they will sacrifice everything for me!]

[They would rather die to protect me!]

It was such a weighty promise!

Ye Xiao silently watched Ye Nantian and the others leave. He stayed still for a while.

Then he turned around and spoke emotionlessly, ”Ladies, follow me.”

Then he led the way again.

Yue Shuang and Yue Han were going to say something but failed to get a chance. They just followed Ye Xiao.

They had the same feeling in the hearts. [Since this young man showed up, even though he is still weak, he has taken over the initiative from our hands!]

The practice area of Ye Clan was empty.

It used to be the busiest place in Ye Clan, but now, there was nobody. Only over a dozen weapon racks stood around the area. It was a several-acres place of deadly silence.

The guards who should be guarding the practice area were gone.

The three of them walked into the place. A cold wind blew over, and the yellow leaves rolled up, flying along with the wind. It felt desolate.

Ye Xiao was leading the way. He was quiet while walking ahead.

”Ye Xiao, what do you want to talk about in this place?” Yue Shuang couldn’t help asking in an indifferent and cold voice as usual.

Ye Xiao didn’t answer her.

”There is nobody else around. Whatever you want to do, or you want to say, just go ahead.” Yue Han blandly said, ”The reason we would follow you is that we are showing respect to your name.”

”But you need to understand, we are not respecting you!”

Ye Xiao was still quiet.

”Why don’t you talk? How much time can you save them even if you stay silent?” Yue Han stopped and said, ”Let’s get it done here.”

The two ladies stopped at the same time. It seemed they wouldn’t walk any further inside.

Ye Xiao still didn’t answer them. He just kept walking ahead in silence, as if he didn’t care about what the two ladies were doing at all.

[Whatever you do, I don’t care.]

He was totally indifferent.

Yue Shuang and Yue Han watched Ye Xiao’s back and frowned. He had walked out nearly a hundred meters further. They had no choice but to follow up.

They felt awkward and annoyed, but they kept walking like they couldn’t control themselves.

It was such a strange but interesting feeling for the two ladies!

Nobody knew the two sisters better than Ye Xiao in the world.

They were in high positions in the martial world; they were dominant in cultivation; they were domineering the world; and they were pure-minded.

However, deep in their bones, they followed.

They barely took the initiative in anything, including a fight. When they were staying with somebody, if nobody started a topic, they could remain silent until the end of the world.

”Have a seat.” It seemed they had reached where Ye Xiao wanted to be.

There were a set of chairs and table, which were made of stones, served for people to rest.

Ye Xiao had sat down. He tapped the seats to show the ladies to sit down too.

The two seats were opposite to his.

One on the left, while the other on the right.

They sat together like three old friends finally reunited after a long time.

There were no hostility and intenseness, only softness and peacefulness!

Ye Xiao still didn’t say anything and just kept staring at the two ladies.

As time went by, Yue Shuang and Yue Hua couldn’t bear it anymore no matter how calm and indifferent they were.

[We are such important figures in Qiong-Hua Palace. We are only lower in position than Moon Queen. Do you think we would just follow some stranger because he told us to?]

[We followed you along to this place because you have a good name!]

[Yet you keep wasting time in silence. We can’t accept it!]

[We just showed you some respect, yet you started to be so arrogant. That is not a smart move!]

”Speak. What do you want to say?” Yue Shuang spoke fiercely for the first time. She seemed to be annoyed. ”We are here to end this mess, not to sit with you in silence.”

Ye Xiao was still bland and calm. He just smiled.

Yue Han was annoyed too. She said, ”Why are you smiling? What do you smile for?”

The two ladies both had a strange feeling at the moment. [It seems we can’t control our emotion when facing this young lord of Ye Clan.]
