By the seaside, the siblings sat quietly.
The sea breeze blew, gently lifting the woman’s plain skirt. She leaned on Ye Xuan’s shoulder, the horizon blending sea and sky.
A picturesque scene!
Elsewhere, a little girl was watching the siblings. She wore trendy short-sleeved jeans, her hair in a ponytail, holding a candied haw stick.
On her shoulder perched a fluffy white creature.
It was Er Ya and Xiao Bai!
Er Ya looked at Ye Xuan and his sister, “Isn’t that Little Xuan? What’s he doing here?”
Xiao Bai blinked, waving its tiny paws, expressing who-knows-what.
Er Ya glanced at Tian Ming, then said, “For Little Xuan’s sake, I won’t fight her today! Let’s go!”
With that, she turned and ran.
Xiao Bai: “…”
On the boulder, Ye Xuan said softly, “Qing’er, being with you feels so safe!”
The Great Dao Pen: “…”
Qing’er smiled faintly, “Let me take you somewhere!”
She stood, pulling Ye Xuan along towards the distance.
Curious, Ye Xuan asked, “Where to?”
Qing’er’s lips curled slightly, “It’s a secret for now!”
Ye Xuan chuckled, “Qing’er, you should smile more. I love seeing you happy!”
Qing’er nodded, “I only smile for you.”
Ye Xuan shook his head, “Having you is the greatest happiness of my life.”
Qing’er smiled softly, gripping his hand tightly, “Once, I lost you. Now, I’ll never lose you again. If you live, the myriad realms are safe. If you die, they’ll be buried with you.”
She turned, casting a cold glance, at whom, no one knew.
At Ye Xuan’s waist, the Great Dao Pen trembled slightly.
Ye Xuan’s heart warmed. Being cherished felt truly wonderful!
As if recalling something, he quickly said, “Qing’er, I founded an academy…”
He explained the Guanxuan Academy and his goals.
Qing’er looked at him, “Change the universe?”
Ye Xuan nodded, “Do you think it’s feasible?”
After a pause, Qing’er said, “A sword path of humanity, it’s certainly feasible. A sword forged by the faith of all beings, this path is remarkable!”
Remarkable!
Ye Xuan’s heart leapt, and he eagerly asked, “If mastered to its peak, how would it compare to you, Qing’er?”
Qing’er blinked, “Well…”
Ye Xuan said earnestly, “Qing’er, tell me the truth!”
After a moment’s silence, Qing’er said, “If mastered to its peak, it should be decent!”
Decent?
Ye Xuan’s expression froze.
Seeing his reaction, Qing’er hurriedly added, “A sword path forged by the belief of all beings is extraordinary. If you master it, you definitely won’t be weaker than me!”
Ye Xuan stared at her, silent.
Qing’er hesitated, then said, “I’m being honest, no lies.”
Pointing to the Great Dao Pen at his waist, she added, “If you don’t believe me, ask it!”
The pen trembled, saying, “Yes, yes, Young Master Ye, your sister’s words are absolutely true. I swear on my life, trust her!”
It was practically sobbing.
Ye Xuan rolled his eyes at Qing’er, “You’re just spoiling me!”
Qing’er tidied his dishevelled collar, saying softly, “In this life, I’ll only spoil you.”
Ye Xuan held her hand tightly, and the siblings walked off into the distance.
Elsewhere, a woman watched them.
She was Yang Lianshuang, the current deputy leader of the Galaxy Sect, the strongest force in the galaxy.
Beside her stood nine individuals, all prominent figures in the galaxy.
Yang Lianshuang looked at the siblings, “Do you know why I brought you nine here?”
The nine shook their heads.
Pointing at Ye Xuan, she said softly, “See that young man?”
They nodded.
Yang Lianshuang said, “Memorise his face, etch it in your minds.”
With that, she turned to leave.
The nine were bewildered.
Then Yang Lianshuang added, “He is the young master of the Galaxy Sect, its future leader.”
The nine were stunned!
Since its founding, the Galaxy Sect had dominated the galaxy at a terrifying pace, ushering the region into an era of cultivation.
Yet, no one in the sect had ever seen the leader.
Everyone was curious about this figure, and now Yang Lianshuang declared this young man as the future leader.
From afar, she added, “Don’t disturb them!”
The nine bowed deeply to Ye Xuan in the distance, then quietly withdrew.
Qing’er led Ye Xuan to the foot of a mountain. Looking up, he saw the peak shrouded in clouds, ethereal and mysterious.
Curious, Ye Xuan asked, “Qing’er, can you tell me now?”
Qing’er shook her head, “Not yet!”
Ye Xuan smiled, “Alright!”
The siblings began climbing the mountain.
On the way, Ye Xuan suddenly asked, “Qing’er, why are we walking instead of flying?”
Looking at him, Qing’er said, “Every moment with you is precious!”
Ye Xuan’s heart skipped a beat, “Qing’er, you’re talking like we’re about to part forever, I…”
Qing’er smiled faintly, “Don’t worry. No one in this world can kill me. As for parting, once things here are settled, we’ll need to separate for a while.”
Ye Xuan quickly asked, “Why?”
Qing’er glanced upward, “I’ve discovered something intriguing, and I want to verify it.”
Curious, Ye Xuan asked, “What is it?”
Qing’er fell silent.
Ye Xuan blinked, “Is it a bit hard to explain?”
Qing’er nodded.
Ye Xuan laughed, “Then don’t explain. When I’m strong enough, I’ll understand, right?”
Qing’er lowered her head slightly, saying softly, “Brother, don’t put too much pressure on yourself. If one day you find life too hard, stop striving! Being invincible isn’t that difficult. If you want, I can give you a wisp of sword qi, and you’ll be unmatched in the world!”
Ye Xuan rolled his eyes, “Qing’er, you’ll ruin my resolve like that!”
Qing’er’s face lit up with a radiant smile, “Alright, then keep working hard!”
Ye Xuan nodded.
He believed Qing’er. If she gave him a wisp of sword qi, he’d be invincible, but that wasn’t his goal.
His true aim was to reach Qing’er’s level!
Relying on her for invincibility would mean he’d never attain her heights.
Just then, a voice came from nearby, “Look over there, that couple! The man’s so handsome… and the woman… heavens, how can someone be that beautiful?”
Ye Xuan turned to see two women staring at him and Qing’er.
Their attire was completely different from his universe. The woman on the left wore a tight short-sleeved top that hugged her chest, accentuating her curves dramatically.
The top was short, exposing her navel, her flat abdomen, and slender waist, enough to captivate countless men.
Below, the view was even more striking, but for decorum, Ye Xuan’s gaze quickly moved to her long legs, accentuated by tight trousers, making them irresistibly alluring.
Her face was stunning, with flowing hair, exuding sensuality with a hint of ethereal charm.
Beside her was a woman in athletic trousers, not as breathtaking but still attractive, carrying a small backpack. She was the one who’d spoken, staring curiously at Ye Xuan and Qing’er.
Catching Ye Xuan’s glance, the backpack woman said excitedly, “Sister Muyue, he’s looking at us! With his outfit, he must be an actor. I bet he knows you and will ask for your autograph!”
The woman called Muyue glanced at Ye Xuan. Just then, Ye Xuan looked away, pulling Qing’er to continue up the mountain.
Seeing them leave, Muyue was momentarily stunned. Her companion exclaimed, “He doesn’t know Sister Muyue? That’s impossible!”
Suddenly, Muyue quickened her pace, catching up to Ye Xuan and Qing’er. She sized them up, then asked Ye Xuan, “Are you fans of ancient styles?”
Ye Xuan was surprised, “Ancient style fans?”
Muyue said, “Your clothes have a very ancient vibe!”
Ye Xuan paused, then smiled, “I suppose so!”
Muyue studied him, “Ever thought about acting? If you’re willing, you’d definitely be a hit.”
Acting!
Ye Xuan blinked, then said, “Miss, I’m not interested in acting.”
He started to leave with Qing’er, but Muyue called out, “You don’t know me?”
Ye Xuan looked at her, “No, I don’t.”
Muyue stared at him, silent.
Ye Xuan thought for a moment, then said, “Miss, I’m from another world!”
Muyue’s expression remained calm, “From Mars, are you?”
Mars?
Ye Xuan laughed, “Miss, this is my first time in the galaxy! I’m not familiar with this place, so our conversation might have some misunderstandings, and…”
“Ridiculous!”
Muyue frowned, slightly annoyed, “If you’re not interested, just say so. Why make up such stories? Do you think I…”
Suddenly, Qing’er flicked her sleeve, and a sword light shot out.
Boom!
A mountain a thousand feet away crumbled to dust.
Seeing this, Muyue froze, her face filled with terror as she looked at Qing’er, “You… are you a legendary sword immortal? No… you must be a great sword immortal!”
Great sword immortal!
Qing’er blinked, then turned to Ye Xuan, her lips curling, “Brother, I’m a great sword immortal!”
Ye Xuan said earnestly, “Impressive!”
The siblings shared a smile.
In that moment, they seemed to return to their earliest days…
Nearby, Muyue looked at Ye Xuan, trembling, “You… are you a cultivator too?”
Ye Xuan nodded. He opened his palm, and a sword shot into the sky, piercing the clouds.
Muyue stared at the sword vanishing into the horizon, trembling, “You… you seem even stronger than your sister!”
Ye Xuan said seriously, “Of course. Within three strikes, I’m invincible. Beyond three, I’m still invincible!”
He looked at Qing’er, “Right?”
Qing’er blinked, then gave a thumbs-up, smiling sweetly, “Brother, forever the best!”
