The Woman in the Plain Dress!
Destiny!
Upon seeing the woman in the plain dress, Su Qingshi’s brows furrowed instantly. She hadn’t expected this woman to show up!
She knew this woman was unreasonable, a fanatic when it came to protecting her brother.
Things were getting tricky!
Su Qingshi thought for a moment, about to speak, when suddenly, the space in the distance tore open. A man in a green shirt stepped out slowly.
The Green Shirt Sword Master!
Seeing him, Su Qingshi’s expression grew even grimmer.
With these two extreme individuals meeting, things had become exceedingly complicated!
The Green Shirt Sword Master looked at the woman in the plain dress and smiled, about to speak, when Su Qingshi stepped beside him, grabbing his hand and shaking her head.
She knew that if these two clashed head-on, a fight was inevitable!
And if they fought now, it would be a catastrophe. Neither the Existing Universe nor the Boundless Universe could withstand their terrifying power!
The woman in the plain dress turned to the Green Shirt Sword Master. The next moment, her palm opened, and the Destiny Sword appeared in her hand. At that moment, Ye Xuan stepped beside her, gently holding her hand and smiling. “Qing’er, let it go.”
But the woman shook her head. “Brother, this time, listen to me! The Yang Clan? What’s that worth?”
With that, her Destiny Sword shot out, slashing toward the Green Shirt Sword Master.
She made her move!
In the distance, the Green Shirt Sword Master’s eyes narrowed. He drew his sword and slashed.
Heaven-Splitting Sword Draw!
Seeing them suddenly fight, Ye Xuan’s face changed drastically. He immediately pulled Envoy Zhang, Su Ming, and the others into his small tower while retreating behind the woman in the plain dress.
Boom!
Suddenly, two sword lights erupted.
Rumble!
In an instant, millions of star domains around them were annihilated. Their residual power didn’t stop, spreading at a terrifying speed. At this rate, in just a few breaths, their force could destroy the entire Existing Universe, even the Boundless Universe…
Just as the Existing Universe was about to collapse, a mysterious force appeared. As it emerged, it blocked the residual power of the woman and the Green Shirt Sword Master, halting its spread.
But soon, that mysterious force shattered and dissipated!
In an unknown starry sky, a black character suddenly appeared. The moment it did, a powerful force blocked the residual energy of the two combatants.
Not long after, the character cracked. A hand gripped it, and an ancient book appeared in the starry sky.
Rumble!
With the book’s appearance, a terrifying force forcibly contained the residual power of the woman and the Green Shirt Sword Master.
But it only contained it, unable to erase it!
In the starry sky, the woman in the plain dress and the Green Shirt Sword Master stood with their swords drawn. Her face was icy, her eyes devoid of emotion.
The Green Shirt Sword Master gripped his sword tightly, its blade gradually turning red.
At that moment, a shadowy figure appeared nearby.
As it did, the Dao Pen at Ye Xuan’s waist trembled slightly.
The figure spoke softly, “If you two strike again, the Existing Universe will collapse instantly, and the Boundless Universe will shatter. Billions of lives will perish because of you.”
The woman in the plain dress coldly glanced at the figure, who continued, “Don’t look at me. If you really fight, I can’t stop you! But if you do, have you considered him?”
The figure looked at Ye Xuan.
After a moment of silence, the woman turned to the Green Shirt Sword Master, her expression ferocious. “If not for my brother, I’d slaughter your entire Yang Clan right in front of you, and what could you do?”
She then turned to Su Qingshi, sneering, “The Yang Clan? What trash! Does my brother need to care about it?”
With that, she grabbed Ye Xuan’s hand and walked off into the distance.
After they left, Su Qingshi turned to the Green Shirt Sword Master and said softly, “I’m sorry! I only wanted to temper him. I didn’t expect things to turn out like this.”
The Green Shirt Sword Master shook his head. “This kid’s temperament is like mine—often too extreme.”
Su Qingshi nodded. “It must be the ‘bastard’ comment that hurt him.”
She sighed softly.
Bastard!
She had overlooked something crucial: Ye Xuan had never been accepted by the Yang Clan. Already resentful toward the Green Shirt Sword Master for being absent, being treated this way by the Yang Clan naturally fueled his anger.
When the Yang Clan targeted him so ruthlessly, of course he was furious.
As if realizing something, Su Qingshi looked at the Green Shirt Sword Master again. “I’m sorry. I didn’t handle this well.”
He held her hand gently. “With this kid’s personality, he probably won’t return to the Yang Clan.”
Su Qingshi fell silent.
She could already sense that Ye Xuan’s temperament was very much like the Green Shirt Sword Master’s—extreme. Once he chose to leave the Yang Clan, he likely wouldn’t come back.
The Green Shirt Sword Master suddenly turned to the shadowy figure, saying nothing.
After a moment of silence, the figure said, “Things aren’t as simple as you think.”
The Green Shirt Sword Master remained silent.
The figure sighed softly. “Things have spiraled beyond my control. All I can say is, take care moving forward. Whether the story ends in joy or sorrow is in your hands.”
With that, his body grew ethereal and soon vanished completely.
After a moment, the Green Shirt Sword Master said, “Qingshi, I’ll go now.”
He disappeared.
Su Qingshi stood in silence for a long time before saying, “Issue the order: from this moment, Ye Xuan is the heir of the Yang Clan. To see him is to see the Sword Master!”
Hearing this, Gu Xi and the others’ faces changed drastically.
To see him is to see the Sword Master!
Clearly, Ye Xuan was the next leader of the Yang Clan.
Su Qingshi sighed softly. “This father and son…”
She turned and left.
…
The clash between the Green Shirt Sword Master and the woman in the plain dress had damaged the very origin of the Existing Universe.
The Existing Universe was now severely weakened!
If not for the intervention of the Dao Pen’s master, it might have been completely erased!
Their power was simply too terrifying.
Though the Dao Pen’s master saved the Existing Universe, it was still heavily damaged, its vitality wounded.
…
In a certain starry sky, Qing’er walked slowly, holding Ye Xuan’s hand.
Ye Xuan smiled. “Qing’er, why did you come?”
Qing’er said softly, “I missed you.”
Ye Xuan smiled warmly. “Me too.”
He held her hand tightly.
Qing’er turned to him. “Brother, is it tiring to struggle alone?”
Ye Xuan shook his head. “Not tiring.”
Qing’er fell silent.
He smiled. “I know what you mean, Qing’er. But I think this is fine—struggling on my own. If I relied on you for everything, I’d never surpass you all.”
Qing’er seemed about to speak but stopped.
Ye Xuan gave a wry smile. “You’re not saying that no matter how hard I try, I’ll never surpass you, are you?”
Qing’er shook her head slightly. “Brother, do you know what I’ve discovered?”
Curious, Ye Xuan asked, “What?”
Qing’er looked into the depths of the starry sky. “A person who writes the fates of others has their own fate written by someone else.”
Ye Xuan frowned, puzzled. “Qing’er… what do you mean?”
She shook her head, saying nothing.
Ye Xuan: “…”
Qing’er suddenly stopped, wrapping her arms around his waist and resting her head on his chest. Her eyes closed slowly, a captivating smile on her face.
Ye Xuan said softly, “Qing’er…”
She murmured, “If our story has an ending, I hope it’s like this.”
After a moment of silence, Ye Xuan thought to himself, *Pen Brother, has something happened?*
The Dao Pen replied, “I don’t know!”
Ye Xuan frowned, about to speak, when the Dao Pen added, “Big Brother, how would I know her matters? Just make sure you’re fine. If you’re fine, she’s normal. If something happens to you, she…”
It trailed off.
These days, it had realized one truth: Destiny’s mood entirely depended on Ye Xuan!
She couldn’t bear to see him suffer the slightest grievance!
Ye Xuan suddenly said, “Qing’er, tell me, have you discovered something?”
Qing’er said softly, “It’s nothing. Just live well, Brother. I’ll handle everything.”
Ye Xuan: “…”
Qing’er suddenly smiled. “Brother, I want to go wandering with you. Can we?”
Ye Xuan snapped out of his thoughts and smiled. “Where to?”
Qing’er blinked. “Anywhere!”
Ye Xuan thought for a moment, then said, “I want to explore secret realms!”
Qing’er looked curious. “Secret realms?”
Ye Xuan nodded seriously. “I’ve explored some mysterious secret realms before, and they were dangerous. So, I want to take you to one!”
Qing’er smiled faintly. “Sure.”
Ye Xuan laughed heartily, then turned to the distance. “Lan Qing!”
His voice echoed, and the space nearby tore open. Lan Qing appeared before the siblings.
Lan Qing bowed respectfully. “Young Master Ye!”
Ye Xuan smiled. “Help me look into any secret realms or ruins. I want to go explore!”
Lan Qing hesitated, then said, “Secret realms or ruins?”
Ye Xuan nodded. “Yes!”
Lan Qing said gravely, “Young Master Ye, I know of some, but certain places are extremely dangerous…”
Ye Xuan waved grandly, brimming with confidence. “The more dangerous, the better! I’m not afraid! I fear nothing!”
Lan Qing: “…”
