Inside Blazing Sun Sect.
Ye Yu sat upright in the main hall.
Drinking tea personally brewed by Xiao Cui, he quietly waited for Zhuxin Cheng to arrive.
In Ye Yu’s eyes, the father daughter conflict between Elder Ge and Zhuxin Cheng might give people a headache and cause distress.
But it was certainly not unsolvable.
After all, father and daughter—break the bones and the tendons were still connected.
He believed that under his persuasion, it would not take long for everything to settle.
Elder Ge and Zhuxin Cheng would clear away their grievances and restore harmony.
And he, in turn, would reap an enormous reward.
A perfect win win situation. Just imagining it made the corners of his mouth want to curl upward.
Ahem, better not make that expression. It might cause misunderstandings.
Ye Yu took another sip of tea.
Mm, not bad. The tea in the God Realm truly was more fragrant.
But Zhuxin Cheng was really something. Why bother bathing and changing clothes for no reason? She was already a god—why keep doing such mortal things?
"Sorry to keep you waiting."
A bright, open voice sounded.
Zhuxin Cheng strode over.
This woman was as beautiful as ever, like a blazing sun that could not be stared at directly.
But there was a faint scent of blood on her body.
A subtle change flickered through Ye Yu’s eyes, though out of courtesy he did not ask directly.
Zhuxin Cheng, however, had no intention of hiding it.
"Sorry. It is still about the divine stone mine. Recently Extreme Moon Pavilion has been in internal chaos, so they have had no time to scheme over it. But other Divine Alliances have come swarming like flies that caught the scent."
"It has kept me busy these past couple of days."
"There are always some people who want to seek death. It cannot be helped."
Hearing this, Ye Yu nodded.
So that was the meaning behind bathing and changing clothes. It seemed the fighting had been quite intense. "How is it? Can you handle it?"
Zhuxin Cheng smiled. "If I said I could not handle it, would you help me?"
Ye Yu spread his hands.
"As long as you do not dislike me, I will definitely help."
Zhuxin Cheng shook her head slightly.
"I would not dislike it. It is just that it has not reached the point where I cannot handle it. By the way, how did you turn yourself into this state?"
"Not only did your realm fall, you even changed into a Ghost God body?"
Ye Yu waved his hand. "Those things are not important. I came today because there is something I want to tell you. Though it is hard to say, I must. Can you forgive that old bastard?"
The moment the words fell,
the surrounding scene instantly changed.
When Ye Yu could see clearly again, he found himself already outside the Divine Alliance of Blazing Sun Sect.
Immediately afterward, Zhuxin Cheng’s icy voice came from the sky.
"Ye Yu, this is the first time. Remember it well. The matter between me and that old bastard is not to be mediated by anyone. If there is a next time, do not blame me for showing no mercy."
Hearing this, Ye Yu raised an eyebrow slightly.
Then he ✧ NоvеIight ✧ (Original source) cast his gaze toward the entrance of the Divine Alliance ahead.
Was it really so sensitive?
Should he try again?
Just as Ye Yu was feeling conflicted, Xiao Cui walked out from within Blazing Sun Sect.
Her previously smiling expression had vanished, replaced by cold eyes.
"Fellow Daoist Ye Yu, what happened today went a bit too far. Please leave at once and do not linger here. My Sect Master asked me to convey this."
"In the future, as long as you do not mention that old bastard, Blazing Sun Sect will always welcome your arrival."
"But if you intend to act as his lobbyist, then sorry. I truly will kill a god."
With the words already brought to this point,
Ye Yu naturally had nothing more to say. He waved to Xiao Cui and left.
To be honest, Zhuxin Cheng’s reaction had been far too intense.
Before coming, Ye Yu had already prepared himself to be met with cold treatment.
Because he clearly understood that Zhuxin Cheng harbored hatred toward Elder Ge. This persuasion was destined to be difficult.
But according to Ye Yu’s estimation, she should at least have listened to a couple of sentences first.
He had merely mentioned it once, and without another word, he was teleported out.
It truly left one feeling helpless.
In a divine mountain three thousand li away from Blazing Sun Sect,
Elder Ge was roasting an unknown divine beast.
Seeing Ye Yu return so quickly, he showed no surprise. He even said teasingly, "Did not succeed, right? Come sit. I will give you a piece of Snow Goat leg. Just finished roasting it. Fragrant as can be."
Ye Yu did not take the Snow Goat meat. Instead, he sat directly opposite Elder Ge.
"Old man, can you really not tell me what happened back then? I truly want to help you. If you keep refusing to say anything, how am I supposed to help?"
"You have to understand the problem before you can solve it."
When Ye Yu had promised to help Elder Ge fulfill his dream, he had already asked what exactly had happened back then for Zhuxin Cheng to hate him to this extent.
At that time, Elder Ge had said he had no face to speak of it, and told Ye Yu to ask Zhuxin Cheng instead.
Very well, Ye Yu had gone. But before he could even open his mouth, he was sent out.
Under such circumstances, Ye Yu could only return again.
Under Ye Yu’s expectant gaze, Elder Ge subconsciously tightened his grip on the wooden stick in his hand, then slowly loosened it. His eyes stared fixedly at the campfire ahead.
With a trembling voice he said, "It is not that I do not want to say it. I truly have no face to speak of it."
"What happened back then was indeed my fault. So no matter how Zhuxin Cheng treats me now, I have no complaints."
"Sometimes I think, perhaps it is time to give up."
"Wrong is wrong. Let me carry this guilt until I die."
Ye Yu immediately refused to accept that.
"Do not put on that look of having seen through everything and wanting to seek release through death."
"If you could truly let go so easily, you would not have persisted for so long."
"Now, tell me everything. You will feel better. And I will help you."
Elder Ge lowered his head slightly, remained silent for a long, long time, then began recounting the past.
Twenty million years ago, Elder Ge was at the peak of his life and was hailed as the Hands of the Gods.
As long as sufficient materials were provided, there was no divine artifact he could not forge.
As for improvements and repairs, they were even less of a challenge.
During that period, Elder Ge was truly high spirited and unmatched in glory.
But everyone understood the principle that a tall tree attracts the wind—yet no one could truly practice it.
Elder Ge was the same.
At the height of his brilliance, he did not choose to withdraw in time. Instead, he became a fully raised banner.
Naturally, that would draw the attention of those with ulterior motives.
It was an ordinary day.
A Ghost God dressed in black robes brought three thousand Star Fragments and asked Elder Ge to forge a divine artifact.
He claimed that afterward, there would be a heavy reward.
To this, Elder Ge was completely disdainful.
