It was common knowledge that the Young Master of Xuanji Hall was practically unable to cultivate.
Without an extraordinary opportunity, he would be stuck at the early stage of the New God Realm for life.
Even with a great opportunity, it would be impossible for him to improve much.
A hundred years ago, when the Cui family arranged the engagement, Ye Yu had still been at the early stage of the New God Realm.
So how, after a hundred years, had this boy suddenly leapt up by more than an entire major realm?
This left Cui Baisheng deeply puzzled.
His words earned him a glare from Du Minghui.
"Whether it’s the New God Realm or the True God Realm, does it really matter?"
"In this day and age, what’s the use of being able to fight? When you’re out in the world, you need power and background. Otherwise, even if you step into the Ancient God Realm, you’re still just a nobody to be manipulated!"
"Ye Yu is the Young Master of Xuanji Hall and also our Cui family’s son-in-law. With that identity and background alone, even a Divine Lord Realm expert would have to lower their voice when speaking to him. So what realm he’s at is completely irrelevant!"
Du Minghui spoke nothing but blunt truth.
Since Ye Yu was destined to be unable to cultivate, his realm no longer mattered.
Anything was fine.
That was also why, earlier that morning, when Shi Tiange saw Ye Yu, she had not noticed any change in his strength.
Of course, part of it was because she had been too nervous—afraid the engagement might be broken.
But one thing Du Minghui said was correct: in their eyes, anything below the Ancient God Realm was nothing but ants.
Cui Baisheng opened his mouth, but ultimately said nothing more.
There were many possible explanations for a rise in strength. Xuanji Hall was no minor faction—forcefully raising Ye Yu’s realm by one major stage was not some impossible fantasy.
So there was no need to dwell on it.
Seeing Cui Baisheng fall silent again, Du Minghui said irritably, "Look at you, like this again. Bad with words, always silent. Asking you a question is like asking for your life."
Cui Baisheng gave a bitter smile and said nothing.
He truly was someone poor with words.
It was simply his personality—nothing more.
Did he have any objections to Ye Yu?
No.
He just didn’t know what to say.
The earlier scene had made him feel just as awkward.
But none of that mattered.
What mattered was that his daughter liked him—that alone was enough.
As for strength or background, none of it was more important than that.
On the other side—
Led by a maid, Ye Yu arrived at the edge of a lake.
There, he saw Cui Yanshui, whom he had not seen for a hundred years.
At that moment, the Cui family’s direct daughter stood facing the lake, her back to him, dressed in a plain robe.
After gesturing for the maid to leave, she spoke softly,
"I didn’t go back on our agreement. I said we wouldn’t meet, and I truly didn’t come to see you."
"But you... why did you suddenly decide to come find me?"
"What, don’t tell me you’ve actually taken a liking to the Cui family and want to turn the act into reality?"
Hearing this, Ye Yu found it somewhat grating.
But upon reflection, he couldn’t really blame her for thinking that way.
Back then, his attitude had been so resolute, and now he had come on his own initiative. Anyone would start making guesses.
Ye Yu let out a slow breath.
He then explained that the purpose of his visit was merely to dispel his mother Shi Tiange’s doubts.
As for turning the act into reality—that was absolutely impossible.
"I, Ye Yu, may not be particularly strong, but my appetite is stubborn. I can’t stomach soft meals."
"So you don’t need to overthink it. Focus on competing for your position as clan head. When you succeed, don’t forget the compensation for our separation."
After hearing this, Cui Yanshui remained silent for a long time.
This made Ye Yu frown.
They said daughters resemble their fathers—and it really wasn’t wrong.
Maybe not in physique, but that silent demeanor was exactly the same.
Ye Yu had no interest in lingering here.
So he spoke up,
"Alright, that’s about it. I’ve seen you, delivered what I needed to. If there’s nothing else, I’ll be heading back. Farewell."
"Wait."
Cui Yanshui called out to him, then turned and slowly walked toward him.
"You’re just leaving like this?"
Hearing that question, Ye Yu raised an eyebrow slightly.
"What else? Don’t tell me I’m supposed to stay here for a few days?"
It was meant as a joke.
But in the next moment, he couldn’t laugh anymore.
Because Cui Yanshui took out a communication stone. After injecting divine power into it, Shi Tiange’s voice suddenly rang out—
"Xiaoshui, I had Yu’er go find you. You’re both young, spend more time together—you’ll have common topics. Let him stay at your Cui family for a few years. I’ve already spoken with your mother about it; she’ll arrange everything!"
The smile on Ye Yu’s face vanished completely.
Not funny anymore.
Stay for a few years?
Mother, you really dare to say anything!
Who in their right mind asks someone to stay at another family’s house for years?
Ye Yu felt his scalp go numb.
At that moment, Cui Fu’s figure appeared in the distance, calling out loudly,
"Young Miss, Young Master, the Patriarch invites you to dine. Also, your room has already been prepared. After the meal, Young Master may rest at any time!"
Hearing this, Ye Yu was completely stunned.
That efficient?
At the same time—
In the Celestial World, following the clues provided by Ye Yu, Qi Yuan quickly found the Wuwei Tower.
Standing at the entrance, she paused for a long moment before speaking clearly,
"My name is Qi Yuan. I have come on behalf of Senior Ye Yu to deliver a message to all of you!"
With the help of immortal power, her voice quickly spread throughout the entire sect.
A few breaths later, the figures of the various ladies streaked out like rainbows.
They formed a semicircle, surrounding Qi Yuan.
They looked at this newly ascended immortal—still carrying traces of mortal aura—with curiosity.
Unavoidably, they began to speculate about her relationship with Ye Yu.
While they observed Qi Yuan, she was also observing them.
Silently, she began counting in her mind.
One, two, three...
Before she could finish counting, Hongluan stepped forward, bringing her into the Wuwei Tower and immediately began asking about Ye Yu.
Qi Yuan promptly relayed the message Ye Yu had asked her to deliver.
After hearing it, none of them were particularly surprised.
Because Li Ruowang had already informed them—through an immortal artifact created by Fengying Zhi—about the special properties of the Unity Heart Jade.
So now, each of them kept their piece of Unity Heart Jade safe, waiting to use it after entering the God Realm.
At the side, Bai Miaoleng spoke softly,
"Alright, the message has been delivered. Now... tell us about your identity."
