Cui Baisheng’s thoughts were the last thing Cui Yanshui and Qi Yuan cared about.

The only reason the two women had gathered together was to discuss one matter.

Where exactly was Ye Yu?

For some unknown reason, every trace of Ye Yu within the God Realm seemed to have completely vanished.

Aside from the two of them, no one else even knew he existed.

But none of that mattered.

Cui Yanshui and Qi Yuan firmly believed that Ye Yu absolutely existed.

Whether it was time reversal or rebirth and resurrection was irrelevant.

What mattered was where they were supposed to find him.

Cui Yanshui said she had already mobilized the Cui family’s forces to begin a large-scale search for Ye Yu.

Yet even now, there had still been no news whatsoever.

Cui Yanshui was already growing restless.

The longer the wait dragged on, the more afraid she became.

That fear continued spreading inside her.

So she wanted to ask whether Qi Yuan had any good ideas for finding Ye Yu.

After thinking for a long while, Qi Yuan brought up the matter of the Wuwei Tower in the Celestial World.

She stated that Ye Yu absolutely had to exist. There was no way all those Dao companions had simply been fabricated out of thin air.

She also remembered hearing them mention a divine artifact called the Unity Jade.

As long as one held it in hand, it would allow them to sense Ye Yu’s location and find him.

The moment Qi Yuan finished speaking, Cui Yanshui crushed the jade cup in her hand.

Then she gritted her teeth.

“What did you just say?”

“How many Dao companions?”

Qi Yuan shrank back slightly.

“I-I think there were quite a lot. I didn’t count them!”

Divine power surged around Cui Yanshui as her expression darkened completely.

Being willing to accept Qi Yuan had already been her absolute limit.

And even that had only happened because, at the time, she believed she was about to die and had no other choice.

Later, after seeing how genuinely Qi Yuan loved Ye Yu, Cui Yanshui had reluctantly endured it without going back on her word.

But now she had suddenly learned that besides Qi Yuan, there were even more Dao companions?

And not just one more.

There were already so many in the Celestial World alone, so who could guarantee that the God Realm contained only the two of them?

How could Cui Yanshui possibly accept this?

She immediately slammed her palm onto the table.

In an instant, the entire side hall collapsed into ruins.

Cui Baisheng, who had already left for the main hall earlier, turned back upon seeing the scene.

A trace of relief unexpectedly appeared in his eyes.

His daughter had finally started fighting?

Well, that was only natural.

Who would willingly share when exclusive possession was possible?

But now the question was whether he should send people over to clean up the wreckage.

Cui Baisheng scratched his head with his thick fingers.

...

Two days later.

Ye Yu and Elder Ge finally arrived at the Blazing Sun Sect.

Of course, at their normal speed, traveling from the Ye residence should not have taken this long at all.

The only reason for the delay was because Elder Ge liked telling stories.

That’s right.

He was the one telling them.

More specifically, relationship stories.

At first, Ye Yu thought Elder Ge intended to talk about events from the past.

So naturally, he did not refuse.

Truthfully, Ye Yu had already made up his mind long ago.

As long as Elder Ge could successfully repair the Eight Kings Blood Jade, then even if the old man asked him to help repair the relationship between father and daughter, Ye Yu would agree without hesitation.

However, what no one expected—

Was that the stories Elder Ge told were the most painfully cliché romantic dramas imaginable.

Every single one revolved around the same central message.

The more Dao companions you had, the faster you died.

One Dao companion meant family harmony and smooth cultivation progress.

Listening to them made Ye Yu cringe so hard he nearly broke down.

Honestly, if it had just been one or two cheesy romance stories, then fine.

Since he still needed Elder Ge’s help, he could endure it.

But the old man kept telling different melodramatic relationship stories every single night without repeating any of them.

That was genuinely unbearable.

And after finishing each story, he even asked Ye Yu for his thoughts afterward.

Seriously?

Had he somehow returned to elementary school?

Did he need to write a reading reflection after every story to deepen the lesson?

Old man, you’re courting death.

During the journey, Elder Ge noticed Ye Yu was on the verge of exploding, so he stopped provoking him further.

If you don’t want to write reflections, fine.

But I’ll still tell the stories I need to tell.

Things like two female ghost gods becoming jealous over a Dao companion, severely injuring him and blasting out his divine soul.

From then on, the divine soul and divine body remained permanently separated, each woman taking half.

Bah, bah, bah.

Just hearing it felt disgusting.

By the later stages, Ye Yu simply entered complete ear-shutting mode.

Bark all you want. I’m not listening to a damn word.

As for Elder Ge, he was an equally stubborn old bastard.

Whether you listened or not was your business.

Whether he talked or not was his business.

Neither of them interfered with the other.

And so, the familiarity they had at the start of the journey gradually turned into complete estrangement by the time they arrived at the Blazing Sun Sect.

Honestly, when relationships between people begin falling apart, it can happen very easily.

Just like this.

After entering the Blazing Sun Sect, the real Xiao Cui quickly came forward to greet them.

Elder Ge casually lifted a hand and pointed at Ye Yu.

“This brat’s staying here with me for two days. Prepare a guest room for us.”

Although the real Xiao Cui had never met Ye Yu before, she had already gathered information about him.

After all, this man was the sect master of the Blazing Sun Sect’s lover.

Her future master.

How could Xiao Cui possibly not pay attention to him?

So she looked deeply at Ye Yu with warm eyes and softly asked,

“Is this really appropriate?”

“Very appropriate. Just do as I say.”

Elder Ge waved Xiao Cui away before continuing toward Ye Yu.

“Repairing the Eight Kings Blood Jade is a bit troublesome. You’ll be helping me these next two days. No objections, right?”

Since it involved repairing his own item, Ye Yu naturally had no objections.

However, he had already keenly noticed that Elder Ge had been acting strangely lately.

Completely different from the man in his memories.

What exactly was going on?

As Ye Yu pondered this question, Elder Ge’s heart was equally unsettled.

There were only two days left.

If he still could not persuade Ye Yu to change his ways within those two days—

Then Elder Ge would not mind making the brat disappear in a perfectly “reasonable” manner.

This was the final thing a father could do for his child.

Thus, two people with entirely different thoughts moved into the same room together.

And then—

Storytelling Elder Ge returned once again.

This time, he directly activated his ultimate mode and forcibly made Ye Yu listen.

How did he force him?

Simple.

He told stories while repairing the Eight Kings Blood Jade.

In between, he would occasionally throw out lines like:

“Pass me that.”

“Hand me this.”

As a result, Ye Yu had no way to avoid hearing him.

Finally, after three hours, Ye Yu completely broke down.

Using the excuse of getting some fresh air, he escaped from the room.

Something was wrong.

Seriously wrong.

The Elder Ge from before had certainly been annoying too, but not this kind of annoying.

What the hell was happening?

Just as Ye Yu was deep in thought, he happened to see Xiao Cui walking toward him from not far away.

She gave him a sweet smile and slightly bowed in greeting, her etiquette flawless.

Ye Yu nodded politely in return.

But the very next second, his expression suddenly changed.

Wait a minute!

The Xiao Cui beside Zhu Xincheng should have been Wu Zhen in disguise!

That bastard had always been openly hostile toward him. He always stared at him coldly and had never once smiled at him—

Much less bowed politely in greeting!
