The Legendary Son-in-law of the Emperor Chapter 2029 - 2026: If You Can’t Solve It, I Will

"But then why does she look so much like Youwei?"

Lu Li looked at Ye Sixing, her face full of suspicion.

Ye Xuan chuckled and said, "Before, I thought you were missing a few screws. Now you’ve gotten them back? You actually know how to think things through?"

Lu Li couldn’t help rolling her eyes at Ye Xuan and said crossly, "You’re the one who’s missing a few screws."

Ye Xuan didn’t continue teasing Lu Li, and said softly, "Before I stepped onto the Emperor Road, Youwei came to see you?"

Just now, he had heard clearly Lu Li’s muttering to herself.

Lu Li nodded and said, "Youwei seems to have become a bit different. She told me some things I couldn’t understand, then left, telling me to wait in peace, that she’d come for me in the future."

Ye Xuan sized Lu Li up from head to toe, thoughtful.

"Young Master Ye."

At this time, the old man behind Lu Li took the initiative to greet Ye Xuan: "Little Lu Li was discourteous, I hope you won’t hold it against her."

Ye Xuan swept a glance over this old man.

Great Saint Realm, Seventh Layer.

He already had two Reincarnation Bodies.

Compared to Liu Family’s old man Liu Qingyuan, who had just died at Ye Xuan’s hands, this "discourteous one" was much stronger.

In all likelihood, this person was one of the old monsters of the Ancient Rakshasa Sect.

The Heavenly Dao Suppression had been lifted up to the Quasi-Emperor Realm.

Across the All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds, some old monsters of ancient Great Emperor Immortal Sects were also emerging from seclusion one after another.

These old monsters were basically all existences of the Great Saint Realm.

As for the Quasi-Emperor Realm—

It was far too rare.

Previously, when Ye Xuan entered the Demons Great World, the reason he saw so many Quasi-Emperor Realm beings—

Was simply because those few were all old dragons of the Dragon Palace.

Those Ancient Demons guarding the Demons Heavenly Court were basically all Great Saints.

The Quasi-Emperor Realm was not as numerous as one might imagine.

Even for a Great Emperor Immortal Sect like the Ancient Rakshasa Sect, whether there was any living Quasi-Emperor Realm existence was still a mystery.

A being like this one, at the Seventh Layer of the Great Saint Realm, was already an unrivaled powerhouse.

It must be known—

Back then, when Zhang Qingfeng descended upon the Cloud Mountain Great World, and later when Emperor Tian Tu went there looking for trouble at the same time, the two who came out to receive them were merely at the Seventh Layer of the Great Saint Realm.

Of course, that was also because most of the Double Emperors’ subordinates were in the Heavenly Domain.

But even in the Heavenly Domain, this level was still a ceiling-level existence.

There were few in the world who could contend with such a one.

Ye Xuan, however, only inclined his head slightly, counting it as a greeting.

"You head back and stay put for now. In a while I’ll come to the Ancient Rakshasa Sect to see you."

Ye Xuan didn’t say much more to Lu Li.

At his words, Lu Li’s beautiful eyes widened. "I came all this way to find you, and you’re just going to send me straight back?"

Ye Xuan slanted a glance at Lu Li. "What else did you expect?"

Lu Li froze there, then deflated and said, "Fine, but don’t forget, I’m bored to death in the Ancient Rakshasa Sect. I really want to go back to the Dragon Burying Court."

As soon as those words left her mouth, the expression of the old man behind Lu Li changed slightly.

Ye Xuan said with a half-smile, "If you really go back to the Dragon Burying Court, I’m afraid the Ancient Rakshasa Sect will end up going to war with the Dragon Burying Court."

Lu Li scratched her head furiously. "Exactly, it’s such a pain."

"Young Master Ye..."

The white-haired old man gave two light coughs, signaling that Ye Xuan shouldn’t dwell on this topic.

Ye Xuan said blandly, "As for your issues with the Dragon Burying Court, don’t dump them on Lu Li. Find some time and settle them yourselves. If you can’t settle them, I’ll help you settle them."

The white-haired old man gave an awkward laugh, not daring to respond.

"That works. Once it’s settled, I won’t have a headache anymore."

Lu Li’s bright eyes lit up as she spoke with a smile.

These words made the white-haired old man turn deathly pale with fright. Regardless of whether Lu Li was joking, he hurriedly said to Ye Xuan, "Young Master Ye, rest assured on this matter. Once I return, this old man will handle it properly. Thank you for your concern."

Ye Xuan ignored the white-haired old man and instead looked at Lu Li, smiling as he said, "Alright then, if someday you really feel so annoyed you can’t stand it, I’ll help you."

The white-haired old man’s face turned ashen.

Lu Li, however, burst into hearty laughter. "You said it, you can’t go back on your word."

"Alright, I should get going."

Ye Xuan waved his hand, then took Ye Sixing and stepped into the air, departing.

"I’ll be waiting for you in the Ancient Rakshasa Sect!"

Lu Li waved as she spoke.

When Lu Li turned back around, she found that her elder was almost collapsing to the ground, looking as if life held no joy.

Seeing this, Lu Li rolled her eyes and said, "What’s with you now?"

The white-haired old man pointed at Lu Li, his finger trembling, unable to find any words.

Lu Li snorted lightly. "Serves you right for filling my ears with badmouthing the Dragon Burying Court all day long."

"No matter what, the Dragon Burying Court is the home I grew up in. I don’t want to hear those things anymore."

"If you keep it up, I’ll go to Ye Xuan and have him help me."

After speaking, Lu Li no longer bothered with the white-haired old man and flew toward the Ancient Rakshasa Sect alone.

The white-haired old man watched Lu Li’s departing back, his expression endlessly complex.

In the end, the white-haired old man sighed deeply and vanished from where he stood.

In the end, it was still that they had been too naïve.

Back then, Lu Li had seemed naturally a bit simple-minded, very naïve.

So when they brought her back to the Ancient Rakshasa Sect, the sect arranged for a special Elder to tell her all sorts of bad things about the Dragon Burying Court.

Who would have thought that this would instead become a seed of Lu Li’s resentment toward the Ancient Rakshasa Sect.

And now, it even showed signs of sprouting.

Looks like the strategy will have to change.

Otherwise, once Lu Li returns to the Dragon Burying Court, then in this lifetime the fate of the Ancient Rakshasa Sect will be in danger.

————

Hong State was vast, the greatest state under heaven besides the Divine Continent.

Hong State had an ancient history, existing already in the distant Mythical Era.

However, in that era, there was no trace of the Human Clan in Hong State.

Only in the Ancient Era did the Human Clan come into being.

Then, in the Initial Stage of the Primordial Wilderness Era, Ye Xuan accepted his first Disciple, named Jiang Yan, who was later known as the Medicine Emperor, the Emperor of Hundred Herbs.

Compared to these two imperial titles, another epithet of Jiang Yan’s was mentioned far more often.

The Forefather of Alchemists!

One of the four most illustrious professions in the world today—Alchemist—was created by Jiang Yan.

Without Jiang Yan, there might never have been such a profession as Alchemist.

Even now, Jiang Yan was still frequently spoken of.

Besides opening the path of the Alchemist, Jiang Yan also created the first Longevity Family in all history.

The Jiang Family.

Which was now the most ancient Longevity Family in Hong State.

Only, the present Jiang Family had long since withdrawn behind the scenes and would not appear on the stage of history.

Nowadays, when people mention the Jiang Family, what comes to mind instead is the Primordial Hall.

Because the Overlord that dominated the land of Hong State—the Primordial Hall—was founded by the Jiang Family.

The world at large all knew of the Primordial Hall, yet very few knew where the Jiang Family was.

It seemed that, aside from the Jiang Family powerhouses who guarded the Primordial Hall, no one knew.

And once you took up the post of guarding the Primordial Hall, you could no longer freely enter or leave the Jiang Family.

This made the Jiang Family all the more mysterious.

But such things posed no difficulty for Ye Xuan.

This was Wuwang Mountain, billions of miles away from the Primordial Hall, in a completely different direction.

This was also the place where, in years past, the Jiang Family’s Great-Grand Ancestor met with Ji Wwang, progenitor of the Ji Family of Floating Mountain in Daozhou.

The Jiang Family and the Ji Family were both ancient Longevity Families.

The ties between the two Families ran very deep.

Only now, there were very few left who knew of this.
