The Legendary Son-in-law of the Emperor Chapter 1850 - 1847: Home

Wan’an City has been reached.

Compared to its past state, Wan’an City has evidently developed into the most prosperous hub within Yun Country. This remarkable growth is, without a doubt, significantly linked to the Ye Family of Wan’an City. Primarily, the Ye Family has publicly declared their kinship with the Eternal Mountain Ye Family. Secondly, the young master of the Ye Family, Ye Xuan, has long achieved widespread renown. Thirdly, Ye Mingtian, the third brother of the Ye Family from years ago, has made a return. Rumor has it that this Ye Mingtian has met with immense success in his ventures outside, even surpassing the fame of his own son, Ye Xuan. His chosen wife is none other than the former Holy Daughter of Kunlun Ruins, also a descendant from the main lineage of the Jiang Family of Longevity Family. With such formidable backing, the Wan’an City Ye Family has undoubtedly donned a splendid golden mantle. Not merely ordinary folk, but even the Human Emperor of Yun Country and the Human Emperor of Star Moon Upper Country show profound respect upon their arrival. The Star Moon Upper Country is notably cooperative, having previously profited from the Star Moon Sect's support of Ye Xuan, which propelled Star Moon Upper Country to become a renowned Upper Country in the Southern Domain, second only to the Lie Tian Heavenly Country, itself lineage-tied to the Emperor Immortal Sect. Consequently, the standing of the Wan’an City Ye Family is exceedingly high within the Southern Domain. This elevated status has drawn an increasing number of businesses to establish themselves in Wan’an City, leading to its continuous and escalating development. Furthermore, with Ye Mingtian’s return to the Ye Family, their spiritual medicine business has flourished with unprecedented success, earning renown throughout the entire Southern Domain. Previously, Tong Shishi’s commendations of the Ye Family were, in essence, somewhat reserved due to her limited in-depth knowledge. However, owing to Ye Xuan’s connection, Tong Shishi was the very first to secure the desired quantity of spiritual medicine. In gratitude, Tong Shishi intended to host Ye Xuan for a lavish banquet, but Ye Xuan had returned home for reasons unrelated to accompanying her, thus prompting him to postpone their meeting. Tong Shishi, understanding that Ye Xuan had pressing matters, could only express her regret and repeated thanks before temporarily settling in Wan’an City to collect her thoughts. Regarding this, Ye Xuan had no further remarks. The counsel he offered Tong Shishi on their journey was already a benevolent act. To be candid, Ye Xuan harbored no particular affection for this exceedingly kind young lady at the outset. Yet, after several serendipitous encounters, he observed a transformation in Tong Shishi and recognized her as a promising talent, thereby offering her some guidance. Her comprehension of it was ultimately her own responsibility. Throughout the ancient eras, Ye Xuan has witnessed a multitude of gifted individuals whose personalities ultimately led them to tragic fates. A person’s choices at each critical juncture profoundly influence their entire existence. Just as in Ye Xuan’s own life. If, back then, he had succumbed to despair after being transformed into that monstrous form, would the Undying Night Emperor have ever come into being? Naturally, it would not have occurred. Alternatively, had Ye Xuan been subjugated by the Emperor Burial Lord, choosing to become his subservient pawn, then Ye Xuan’s present circumstances would be entirely different. Thus, at every turning point in life, each decision made sculpts a different future reality. Whether the eventual outcome brings joy or sorrow, one can only ascertain upon reaching that point. For those who achieve success, a retrospective glance reveals an appreciation for their past decisions, fostering fond memories and strengthening their resolve to press onward. For those less fortunate, regret may dominate, lamenting the choices made. When confronted with decisions, an individual’s personality often plays a crucial determining role. In summation, Ye Xuan’s words to Tong Shishi are wholly advantageous and harmless. Otherwise, Tong Shishi would undoubtedly face peril in the future due to her excessive kindness. This, Ye Xuan perceives with great clarity. Although Tong Shishi’s kindness was somewhat immoderate, Ye Xuan ultimately did not desire for a good-hearted girl to meet ruin and death. It is fundamentally wrong to allow such an outcome. Even spanning through ancient times, certain actions, when feasible, ought to be undertaken. Perhaps they seem insignificant. Yet, they hold their own meaning. ......

“How does it feel?”

Within the tranquil small courtyard.

Father and son sat together, engaged in fishing. Ye Mingtian held his pole with one hand, resting the other behind his head, reclining on his chair as he inquired with a smile. Ye Xuan, however, was seated in a cross-legged position atop a wisp of cloud, his hands concealed within his sleeves. The fishing rod floated automatically as his eyes remained half-closed, and he replied with a tone of nonchalance, “Utterly boring.”

Ye Mingtian rolled his eyes and declared, "Son, show some youthful vigor! You are now the most celebrated and formidable Reserve Emperor in the vast Xuanhuang Great World, poised to ascend the Emperor Road. Why then, do you appear so worn-out?"

Ye Xuan cast an annoyed glance at his father, speaking with a calm demeanor, "As my father, witnessing your son surrounded, you aren't in the least bit concerned? And you haven't visited Zhongxuan Mountain?"

Ye Mingtian pursed his lips, retorting, "You rascal, I brought your true self to the Eternal Ground. The one left at Zhongxuan Mountain is merely an avatar, so why should I fret?"

Smack!

Ye Mingtian felt a sharp rap on his forehead.

Ye Mingtian’s eyes instinctively flicked upward, catching sight of a breathtaking visage. Instantly startled, he bolted upright, stammering nervously, "Wife, why have you graced us with your presence?"

The newcomer was none other than Ye Mingtian’s wife, Jiang Ye, and Ye Xuan’s mother.

Jiang Ye remained clad in her simple white attire, exuding an aura of serenity and detachment. Her flawless face, devoid of any makeup, still outshone the beauty of so-called celestial maidens.

Indeed, she was the very Kunlun Saintess of yesteryear, whose allure had driven countless young cultivators in the Cultivation World to distraction. Even the esteemed Dao Thousand Jie Saint Heir from Changsheng Hall harbored secret admiration for Jiang Ye.

Alas, who would have ever predicted that such a renowned Kunlun Saintess would be captivated by a humble young man from the Daozhou East Desolation South Domain.

"Don't behave so unseemly in front of Xiao Xuan,"

Jiang Ye chided Ye Mingtian with a glare, her voice tinged with irritation.

"Certainly, my dear wife." Ye Mingtian readily agreed, then lamented with a hint of despair, "But shouldn't a father retain some dignity in Xiao Xuan's eyes?"

"Enough of that!" Jiang Ye pinched Ye Mingtian’s ear fiercely, compelling him to capitulate and beg for mercy.

Ye Xuan, seated cross-legged nearby, felt a wave of exasperation wash over him, perpetually sensing his father’s subtle desire to leverage his situation.

The maddening part was the utter inability to retort, wasn't it?

Oh, dear.

Ye Xuan sighed, gazing askance at the cloudless expanse above, an inexplicable melancholy settling upon him.

"Xiao Xuan, your father can be rather unserious at times." Jiang Ye addressed Ye Xuan with exceptional tenderness, a stark contrast to her demeanor towards Ye Mingtian.

"Mother, I wish to eat San Xiang," Ye Xuan murmured softly, a hint of a sniffle in his voice.

"Very well, Mother will prepare it for you." Jiang Ye offered a gentle smile.

After seeing his mother depart, Ye Xuan turned his attention to his father and inquired in a low voice, "Dad, do you have any knowledge regarding the Black Sky Clan and the Guming Clan?"
