Ye Xuan was also somewhat helpless.
There was no way around it. The Dao Sect had many internal problems now. It was unrealistic for him to solve them all at once.
Therefore, he could only use the Great Dao Pen Master’s name to intimidate these people.
Dao Ling glanced at Ye Xuan, then said, “Rest assured, we will fully cooperate with you.”
Ye Xuan nodded. He looked at the Dao Sect powerhouses in the field. “This is your last chance. Otherwise, you will be abandoned by your master forever.”
Their expressions dimmed.
The Great Dao Pen Master had appeared this time but had not met them. It was a huge blow to them.
Ye Xuan said, “Return to your duties.”
Upon hearing this, the Dao Sect powerhouses bowed slightly to Ye Xuan, then retreated.
However, Dao Ling did not leave.
Dao Ling said gravely, “Master…”
Ye Xuan said, “Don’t think too much. Follow my arrangements later.”
Dao Ling glanced at Ye Xuan and nodded. “Alright.”
With that, she retreated.
Only Ye Xuan remained in the field. He directly returned to Little Tower.
Ye Xuan found a quiet bamboo forest. He opened his palm, and the deep purple imprint appeared in his hand.
Ye Xuan released his right hand, and the deep purple imprint suddenly turned into a purple light that landed on the ground. Gradually, the purple light transformed into a little girl.
The little girl was about ten years old, wearing a small red dress, with a long braid. Her pupils were golden, but they soon returned to normal. Moments later, she looked up at Ye Xuan, her eyes full of confusion.
Ye Xuan asked, “Do you know who you are?”
The little girl shook her head, her face full of bewilderment.
Ye Xuan fell silent.
Clearly, her memories had not yet recovered.
Looking at the little girl before him, Ye Xuan’s expression was complex. In her past life, she must have been a supreme powerhouse.
At that moment, the little girl suddenly asked, “Who are you?”
She looked at Ye Xuan, full of doubt.
Ye Xuan collected his thoughts. He gently rubbed the little girl’s head, then smiled. “From now on, I am your brother.”
“Brother.”
The little girl looked at Ye Xuan, blinking her eyes.
Ye Xuan smiled. “Yes.”
No matter what, he would establish the relationship first.
The little girl asked, “Then who am I?”
Ye Xuan thought for a moment, then said, “You are Qianqian, Ye Qianqian, my sister.”
Ye Qianqian.
The little girl furrowed her brows slightly.
Ye Xuan smiled. “This is your name now. As for before, you were very powerful, but because of cultivation, you lost your memories. So, there are many things you can’t remember now. Understand?”
The little girl thought for a long time, then nodded. “Understand.”
With that, she looked at Ye Xuan. “You said I was very powerful before. How powerful?”
Ye Xuan thought, then smiled. “In your place, you were definitely invincible.”
Invincible.
The little girl grinned. “That’s really powerful.”
Ye Xuan smiled. “Yes.”
The little girl suddenly held Ye Xuan’s hand, seriously saying, “Then I’ll follow you now.”
Ye Xuan smiled. “Alright. Come, I’ll show you the outside world.”
With that, he took Ye Qianqian out of Little Tower.
…
Ye Xuan brought Ye Qianqian back to Guanxuan Academy. However, when he returned, Qingqiu was not there.
In the courtyard, Ye Xuan looked at Gu, smiling. “Miss Gu, we meet again.”
Gu glanced at Ye Xuan, then frowned slightly. “Your cultivation…”
Ye Xuan smiled bitterly. “There was a problem. My cultivation has dropped.”
Gu smiled. “But why do I feel you are about to have a great opportunity?”
Ye Xuan was puzzled. “What do you mean?”
Gu smiled lightly, then said, “Nothing. By the way, your sister is busy. Do you want me to call her back?”
Ye Xuan shook his head. “No need. I’m leaving soon too.”
Gu said gravely, “I have a question for you. Answer honestly.”
Ye Xuan nodded. “Go ahead, Miss Gu.”
Gu stared at Ye Xuan. “Did you meet the Great Dao Pen Master?”
Ye Xuan nodded. “Yes.”
Gu was silent for a moment, then asked, “How strong is he exactly?”
Ye Xuan fell silent.
Gu sighed softly. “I understand.”
With that, she suddenly stood and left.
Ye Xuan suddenly said, “Miss Gu, wait.”
Gu turned to look at Ye Xuan. Ye Xuan smiled slightly. “Miss Gu, I have a gift for you.”
With that, he opened his palm, and an ancient scroll slowly floated to Gu.
The Great Dao Scripture.
However, not the complete version, just the first part. Of course, it was not the original, but a copy he made.
Gu glanced at the scroll. In the next moment, her pupils contracted. She looked at Ye Xuan. “You…”
Ye Xuan smiled slightly. “Miss Gu helped me a lot before.”
Gu said gravely, “This is too valuable. Compared to what I helped you with, my assistance is insignificant. I…”
Ye Xuan smiled. “Miss Gu is one of us.”
One of us.
Gu glanced at Ye Xuan, then said, “I remember this favour. If I can’t repay you, rest assured, I’ll repay it to your next generation.”
Ye Xuan smiled, saying nothing.
But he did not know that the many kindnesses he sowed now, though he did not reap the fruits, his descendants did.
After Gu left, Ye Xuan summoned An You.
An You bowed respectfully to Ye Xuan. “Young Master Ye.”
Ye Xuan nodded. “Where is Miss Qin Guan?”
An You said, “The pavilion master left suddenly a month ago. Her whereabouts are now unknown.”
Ye Xuan frowned. “She left a month ago?”
An You nodded. “Yes.”
Ye Xuan fell silent.
Where had Qin Guan gone?
He tried to contact Qin Guan, but could not reach her at all.
Moments later, Ye Xuan said, “You may go. If you have news of her, contact me.”
An You bowed slightly, then vanished quietly.
Ye Xuan glanced around the field, then turned and left. Just then, as if sensing something, he suddenly turned to look at a corner. In that corner stood a woman. Seeing Ye Xuan look over, the woman was startled, then quickly turned her back to him.
Ye Xuan smiled slightly. “Take care.”
With that, he rode his sword away, disappearing into the starry depths.
After Ye Xuan left, the woman quickly turned. Seeing he was gone, a dim look flashed in her eyes.
At that moment, she suddenly felt so regretful.
Regretful for being so timid.
If she had been braver, she could have spoken a few words with him.
Just then, an elder walked behind the woman. The elder bowed slightly to her. “Head of the Shan Academy, the matters you assigned have been handled. Will you go now or?”
The woman glanced at the sky, silent for a long time, then turned and left.
…
After leaving Guanxuan Academy, Ye Xuan came to the Shen Gu Clan.
Seeing Ye Xuan, Bi Yao was exceptionally enthusiastic. “Young Master Ye, we meet again.”
Ye Xuan smiled slightly. “Thank you for your help earlier, Miss Bi Yao.”
Bi Yao glared at Ye Xuan. “Young Master Ye, saying that makes us seem like strangers. We’re on the same side. What thanks?”
Ye Xuan smiled. “I’ll thank you in another way.”
With that, he opened his palm, and an ancient book slowly floated to Bi Yao.
The first part of the Great Dao Scripture.
Bi Yao glanced at the book. In the next moment, her pupils contracted, and her hands involuntarily clenched tightly.
Ye Xuan said, “The Great Dao Pen Master said this is the highest level cultivation method in this universe currently. What do you think, Miss Bi Yao?”
Bi Yao was silent for a moment, then said, “This gift is very heavy. Thank you.”
Ye Xuan smiled. “We’re on the same side. What thanks?”
Bi Yao glanced at Ye Xuan, her expression complex. “You’re very generous.”
Ye Xuan smiled. “To my own people, I am indeed generous.”
With that, he slowly stood, then said, “Miss Bi Yao spared no effort to help me before. How could I be stingy?”
Bi Yao looked at Ye Xuan, then said again, “Thank you.”
Ye Xuan smiled. “If the Shen Gu Clan needs anything in the future, contact me. If it’s within my power, I’ll help fully.”
Bi Yao nodded. “Alright.”
Ye Xuan waved. “Miss Bi Yao, until we meet again.”
With that, he turned into a sword light and soared away, disappearing into the starry horizon in a blink.
Bi Yao watched the starry end, silent for a long, long time, then her lips curved slightly. “This big gamble, we won.”
With that, she turned and left, humming a little tune as she walked.
…
After leaving the Shen Gu Clan, Ye Xuan came to the Dao Realm.
By a lakeside, Ye Xuan walked slowly with Dao God.
Ye Xuan asked, “Any movements from the Past Sect?”
Dao God shook his head. “No movements for now.”
Ye Xuan thought, then said, “This sect won’t give up so easily. Have your people stay vigilant.”
Dao God glanced at Ye Xuan. “I think they won’t dare come after you again.”
Ye Xuan said, “I mean I’m afraid they’ll come after you.”
Dao God was silent for a moment, then said, “I was hasty.”
Ye Xuan said gravely, “One more thing. At the Place of Return that day, I remember a mysterious person attacked me. Have you found any information on this person?”
Dao God shook his head. “No. After the failed attack that day, this person vanished completely.”
Ye Xuan frowned.
Dao God glanced at Ye Xuan, then said, “Is it one of your other enemies?”
Ye Xuan shook his head. “Unlikely.”
Dao God said, “I’ll investigate further.”
Ye Xuan nodded. “Tell me if you have news.”
Dao God nodded slightly, then retreated.
After Dao God left, Ye Xuan glanced around, then returned directly to Little Tower. He opened his palm, and the Great Dao Scripture from the Great Dao Pen Master appeared in his hand.
For him now, the priority was to restore his cultivation, to regain his strength.
As for the Past Sect and that mysterious person, he could only set them aside for now.
Ye Xuan collected his thoughts, opened the Great Dao Scripture. Soon, countless ancient and mysterious characters turned into streams of light that entered his forehead. Soon, countless pieces of information appeared in Ye Xuan’s mind…
….
