Realms In The Firmament

Yue Han looked sentimental in the face. ”When Shuang and I were born, we were born crippled. That was a curse. We couldn’t even move…”

”Brother was a kid who was several years older than us. He didn’t have any method to earn even his own living. He begged others, kneeled down to everyone he met, to beg for food to feed us… When he got nothing of sympathy, he stole… We have seen a lot of the images of him being beaten by several men whom he stole from…”

”We just waited for food…” Yue Shuang’s eyes turned red. ”Those years… Brother got punched a lot for us… He suffered a lot for us…”

”Now, his sisters have grown up…” They both suddenly stopped taking and twisted their lips, as if they were going to cry out. However, they held it, took a deep breath, and stayed calm.

The others all nodded to show support. They could imagine how hard life could be for a little boy who was only six or seven years old, taking care of two disabled sisters, living on his own…

They all sighed in sorrow.

”Your brother must be a great man who stands in the world firmly.” Zhan Yunfei sincerely said, ”He must be a man who stands firmly on earth and holds the sky over his head. May I ask for your brother’s name? Would you mind telling us where he resides at the moment?”

Yue Han answered without thinking, ”My brother is Ye Xiao. He…”

Then she realized she had said something that shouldn’t be said. She hurriedly stopped and covered her mouth with one of her small hands.

Yue Shuang looked at her with the hint of scolding in her eyes.

Yue Han surely knew she had said something she should have never mentioned to others, so she lowered her head with regret.

However, when she said the name ’Ye Xiao’, everybody became silent!

Except for Yue Shuang, Yue Han, and Ye Xiao, the others all showed dark and weird faces!

Zhan Yunfei and Zhu Jiutian’s faces were the darkest and palest!

The abrupt breaking news exploded everybody’s head! The two men’s hearts started to beat rapidly like never before!

Ye Xiao!

The name showed up in everybody’s heart. They all had the same thought at the moment; Yue Han didn’t mean Ye Xiao who sat here eating with them!

What she meant was the Xiao Monarch, who used to rule the world, shock the martial world, and sweep the Qing-Yun Realm!

’Laughing at all heroes in the world;’

’I am the Monarch in the firmament!’

It was Ye Xiao, Xiao Monarch!

The deadly sworn enemy of the three factions!

However, nobody had expected that… Shuang and Han were exactly sisters of Xiao Monarch!

Zhan Yunfei and Zhu Jiutian felt their heart beating out of their chests.

They were in that exact fight, in which Xiao Monarch died! They were a part of the people who fought and killed Xiao Monarch!

They were partially responsible for Xiao Monarch’s death, even though what they did was just a tiny part of it, and they had nearly died in Xiao Monarch’s hands instead!

The reality was that they survived, and Xiao Monarch died. Now, they had even recovered from the wounds that were caused in that battle!

Now…

They suddenly got to know the truth that Xiao Monarch, who was known to be a loner, was actually a brother to the two ladies!

Besides, the two ladies were each a horrible cultivator, and they could be much more frightening than Xiao Monarch when they fought together!

From the way they recollected the memory of their brother, it could be seen that they unimaginably loved their brother.

[They won’t spare us if they know we are a part of the people who killed their brother!]

[The problem is, who doesn’t know we are a part of it?]

Zhan Yunfei and Zhu Jiutian were shedding cold sweat on their foreheads.

They suddenly didn’t know what to do.

On the other side, Ye Nantian thought that he knew the reason why the two ladies had suddenly changed their minds and turned against their own sect.

”The reason why you changed your minds…” Ye Nantian said sentimentally, ”You actually did it for my son…”

Yue Shuang and Yue Han were both shocked. [Did they know? No! This is bad! Brother seriously warned us that it is not a good time to reveal the truth about him yet!]

Yue Han looked self-condemned.

”… My son’s name… His name…” Ye Nantian sighed. ”We named him Xiao Monarch’s name. Back in the old days, my wife and I were being chased. We met Xiao Monarch’s close friend, Jun Yinglian. She felt pity for us and decided to help us. She pointed at my wife and told us to name our child Ye Xiao… We never thought that the name of the great Xiao Monarch would benefit us even now… Ladies, you spared us because of the name…”

”I never thought that we, Ye Clan… would owe Xiao Monarch another great one in eighteen years…”

Yue Shuang was stunned, and then she hurriedly said, ”That’s right! That’s the reason. Your son has the exact same name as my brother. If we kill him, it would feel like we are killing our own brother. We didn’t know you indeed named him after my brother. I guess we did it right to spare you all.”

”How could we displease our brother…” Yue Han tried to make it up, but only saw the fierceness in Yue Shuang’s eyes.

The warm atmosphere was cooling down at the table.

Zhan Yunfei and Zhu Jiutian looked sullen.

They had been worrying about whether the ladies would deal with them or not, but now they were thinking… whether they should send the message back to their sect.

Jun Yinglian had been fighting alone, yet she alone had stirred a substantial chaotic storm in the three factions.

If Yue Shuang and Yue Han joined her… the two much fiercer figures…

Well…

It was not going to be a happy future for Cold Moon Palace!

Zhan Yunfei gave a dry giggle of laughter and said, ”In the past…”

”I know what you three factions did in that year.” Yue Shuang and Yue Han suddenly looked fierce in the eyes. Their gazes were like four beams of sharp lights that could cut through the firmament, with hatred and murderousness. They angrily said, ”We will get to the three factions sooner or later!”

”However, for the sake of the name Ye Xiao, I don’t want to talk about anything relevant to that filthy past.” Yue Han spoke word after word, ”But all debts will be paid in full!”

At this moment, the two ladies didn’t look innocent and naive like two little girls anymore. Instead, they were emitting the murderous and overwhelming qi that belonged to two true dominant cultivators.
