Checking in for 100,000 Years

Chapter 1100: Chapter 1100: I Respect Jiuying’s Decision

”Uncle Di, drink it. It will definitely cleanse the poison in your body!”

Ye Yun looked at Di Dao Lin and smiled casually.

This was only Ancestral Dragon Blood, not the Ancestral Dragon Essence Blood from the warehouse.

If it were the precious Ancestral Dragon Essence Blood, the effect would naturally be even better, but that would be far too shocking and impossible to explain.

”Many thanks, little friend.”

Di Dao Lin gave Ye Yun a deep look, as if he’d understood something, then no longer hesitated and poured that single drop of Ancestral Dragon Blood from the small vial into his mouth.

He had lived for so many years and naturally understood that many people had their own secrets.

If someone was unwilling to speak, there was no need to force them.

Besides.

The blood in the vial was a holy medicine that could save his life.

Since the other party had shown such goodwill, he would simply accept it. There was no need to pry to the very bottom.

”It’s working!”

Only a few seconds later, Di Dao Lin felt the violent changes inside his body. His expression brightened, and he immediately sat cross-legged again, circulating his power to accelerate the flow of the medicine.

”This is wonderful!”

Beside him, Emperor Jiuying saw her father’s complexion improve and her heart instantly filled with joy.

”You can rest easy now. If nothing unexpected happens, your father will be fine in a while.”

Ye Yun looked at Emperor Jiuying, his face warm with a gentle smile.

”Thank you so much!”

Emperor Jiuying looked at Ye Yun, a faint mist rising in her beautiful eyes.

This enigmatic man not only possessed a terrifying level of strength, but a background so deep it was unimaginable.

Her father’s poison had been treated by so many people without success.

She hadn’t expected that once Long Yunzi arrived, he would not only identify the poison, but also bring out an antidote.

Thinking about it...

The entire process was simply too unbelievable.

”Sigh! Back then, due to a series of coincidences at the Three Fire God Cult, I treated him as my Dao companion. Although there was a bit of joking in it, it still formed a not-so-small karmic tie.

Now, this karmic tie has turned misfortune into blessing for me. The moment he arrived at Emperor Fall Mountain, he saved my father...”

Emperor Jiuying’s feelings grew complicated.

She actually understood that her so-called Dao companion relationship with Long Yunzi was built on the basis of that joke back then.

It couldn’t be considered real.

It was just that later on, she had taken it a bit seriously.

After returning to the Di Family, that handsome, elegant white-robed figure lingered in front of her eyes every day, sometimes leaving her just as she smoothed her brows, only to weigh on her heart again.

...

After the time of one incense stick, Di Dao Lin’s complexion finally became rosy.

The deadly poison within him had also completely vanished.

”Many thanks for saving my life, little friend!”

Di Dao Lin stood up, cupped his fists with both hands, and bowed deeply.

At this moment he was incomparably grateful to Ye Yun.

If he had truly fallen, it would have been far too great a pity.

After all, in this lifetime of Di Dao Lin’s, he still had hopes of impacting the Fifth Level of the Divine King Realm.

”No need to stand on ceremony, we’re not exactly outsiders...”

Ye Yun smiled lightly.

He then sensed something, lifted his head, and looked toward a certain patch of void outside the great hall.

Emperor Wu Shuang’s figure streaked across the sky like a long rainbow, rapidly flying over from the distance.

”Second Uncle is here...”

Emperor Jiuying frowned and spoke in a low voice.

Her relationship with her second uncle had been extremely strained of late, so she had a very bad premonition about Emperor Wu Shuang’s arrival.

”That fellow Wu Shuang, heh heh...”

Di Dao Lin let out two cold laughs, then suddenly his body trembled, and his complexion reverted to the haggard look from when he was poisoned.

Emperor Jiuying was stunned.

”There’s a traitor in the Di Family who can’t wait for me to die as soon as possible...”

Di Dao Lin waved his hand and smiled casually.

After that, he sat down again.

”I understand, Father!”

Emperor Jiuying’s expression turned solemn.

She understood her father’s meaning—very likely, the traitor within the Di Family was her second uncle, Emperor Wu Shuang.

Regarding her marriage with Yuwen Qiming, her second uncle had been pushing for it both openly and in secret. On the surface, it was for her father’s sake, but in reality, it carried deeper meaning.

Now, with her father’s reminder...

Emperor Jiuying fully understood. Her second uncle had probably long been coveting her father’s position as Clan Leader.

”In a great clan, the schemes and backstabbing really are severe...”

Watching the exchange between father and daughter, Ye Yun silently sighed in his heart.

He was already quite used to such things.

”Big Brother, how are you?”

The moment Emperor Wu Shuang entered the great hall, he immediately flew forward and asked with great concern.

His eyes flickered as he repeatedly examined Di Dao Lin.

But his cultivation base was still one realm lower than Di Dao Lin’s, so he couldn’t see through Di Dao Lin’s current physical condition.

Di Dao Lin intended to conceal it, and at this moment the state he displayed was exactly the same as before, so Emperor Wu Shuang didn’t see through it either.

”It’s getting worse and worse. I’m afraid I won’t live much longer...”

Di Dao Lin lowered his head and spoke weakly.

”Big Brother, don’t worry. As long as we successfully refine the Wan Huan Qian Pu Dan and you take it, you’ll be able to dispel the deadly poison in your body!”

Emperor Wu Shuang said relaxedly.

”Aren’t we still missing the Heart of the Heavenly Illusory Purple Snake?”

Di Dao Lin shook his head and deliberately gave a bitter smile. ”The Lord of Tianque City will never agree easily.”

”Whether or not the Lord of Tianque City agrees all depends on Jiuying, Big Brother!

I’ve been trying to persuade this girl lately, but once her Dao companion showed up, things became a bit troublesome...”

Emperor Wu Shuang sighed and quickly recounted what had happened earlier at the mountain gate.

”What, he severed the wrist of a God King Realm First Layer expert of Tianque City with a single sword?”

Di Dao Lin was greatly shocked.

He looked at Ye Yun in disbelief, his eyes flickering.

To have such terrifying Swordsmanship in the Eighth Layer of the Divine Venerable Realm was truly terrifying!

”This man’s swordsmanship is profound, bordering on the Dao itself. His foundation is even more unfathomable. How could such a figure appear in the Divine Land? Which power does he actually come from?”

Di Dao Lin mused inwardly.

”Second Uncle, did you come just to make me agree to this marriage?”

At the side, Emperor Jiuying finally couldn’t hold it in any longer. She frowned and asked coldly.

”Yes. I’m doing this for your own good, and at the same time for your Dao companion’s life—what kind of place is Tianque City, you and I both know very well. If he goes there alone, it’s nothing but courting death!

I came to Big Brother this time to have him persuade you to agree to this marriage sooner. That way we can avoid some unnecessary sacrifices...”

Emperor Wu Shuang’s brows danced as he spoke eloquently.

”No need!”

Emperor Jiuying said, her face taut.

Ye Yun stared straight at Emperor Wu Shuang and said irritably, ”Say, you as a second uncle, why is your elbow always turning outward? Did Tianque City give you some kind of benefit?”

”What are you talking about? Tianque City is Tianque City, my Di Family is the Di Family. There’s absolutely no interest involved!”

Emperor Wu Shuang roared angrily.

”Alright, alright, Wu Shuang, there’s no need for you to argue with two juniors. On this matter, I’ll respect Jiuying’s decision...”

Di Dao Lin waved his hand, cutting off Emperor Wu Shuang’s words.

Seeing his big brother upset, Emperor Wu Shuang’s expression became somewhat awkward.

”Big Brother, the Di Family can’t be without you. We still need you, this great pillar, to protect the Di Family...”

Emperor Wu Shuang said with a face full of sorrow.

”Don’t worry. If I’m no longer here, won’t the Di Family still have you? It can continue to be passed on...”

Di Dao Lin said with a smile.

After he finished speaking, as if he had tugged at his internal injuries, he let out two more ”weak” coughs.

”Sigh, very well then...”

Emperor Wu Shuang nodded helplessly.

Watching this fellow’s clumsy performance, Ye Yun merely smiled without changing his expression.

Di Dao Lin was also an old fox. Now that he had clearly recovered, he still insisted on pretending to be gravely ill.

It appeared...

He was planning to give Emperor Wu Shuang a chance to expose his flaws.
